Su Miao and Li Jiuyuan stayed in the research institute for a day and had lunch with them.
Li Jiuyuan and Du Peng get along very well, and they have already started working together to develop another drone.
"Dad, your arm is still injured. It's not suitable for you to move around now. You should get enough rest." Li Xin looked speechless and quickly stopped him.
He still has one hand hanging and even has to rely on Su Miao to feed him, so why would he make a drone?
"After your hand heals, we'll work together again. This time, we'll make a goose." Du Peng whispered to him, still determined to make a drone.
"good."
Li Jiuyuan nodded in agreement, as if forgetting that he would be returning to the capital soon.
…
It was not until the evening that He Beichen came to pick her up. The couple walked together for a while and went to the cafeteria for dinner.
The two of them now seem to be working in a research institute.
After saying goodbye to the couple, Li Xin looked at He Beichen worriedly: "Are you, are you going to the front lines again?"
He Beichen usually came to pick her up after training, but he came quite late today, half an hour after her colleagues at the research institute got off work, and he didn't look like he had just finished training.
Li Xin could guess that he must have gone to a meeting, and a meeting meant... he might have to go to the front line again soon.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet." She muttered softly, very worried about it.
"Not yet." He Beichen shook his head. "The two sides are still in the negotiation stage. Right now, there are only some minor frictions. The support sent from the border is enough. I will not go to the front line until the negotiations break down."
If the talks fail and the two countries go to war, it will not be a question of whether to go to the front line or not, but the entire border will become the front line.
"The situation is tense now. The military district intends to organize the evacuation of border residents first, so that it will be too late to evacuate when fighting breaks out," said He Beichen.
The purpose of today's meeting was to deploy the arrangements for the current stage.
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that evacuating the people was the right thing to do. If a war really broke out, it would be imminent and there would be no time to devote energy to organizing an evacuation, and it would be too late.
"If you lead the team, you have to be careful with your wounds." Li Xin reminded him again with concern.
Organizing the evacuation of the people requires long hours of travel, which is very tiring.
She was more worried that He Beichen's wound would break open. The weather was hot, and she was also afraid that the wound would become infected and inflamed due to the sweat.
"This matter is not my responsibility. I have to stay in the army." He Beichen explained.
Now that the military district has sent out too many people, they must pay more attention to defense to avoid being taken advantage of. He certainly cannot leave the army easily.
Li Xin was completely relieved.
"Good luck, I wish you good luck~"
As soon as He Beichen opened the door, brainwashing music came from inside the house.
When Sanmao saw them coming back, she hurried over and placed the slippers neatly in front of them, almost putting them on them directly.
"Master, big brother, welcome home!" Sanmao was very excited and even made a gesture to invite them to sit down and eat.
"...I haven't washed my hands yet." He Beichen said, walking around Sanmao and looking at it with a strange look.
Sanmao's sudden and conspicuous behavior was a bit scary, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"Stop the song." Li Xin was speechless and immediately gave the order.
Sanmao: "???Oh."
Only after the annoying music finally stopped ringing in his ears did Li Xin go to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
"Is Sanmao broken?" He Beichen asked in a low voice when he saw her coming over, still worried.
"No, it's just excited to see you back." Li Xin explained, "You know it's just a conspicuous bag. Don't worry about it. The excitement will wear off in a couple of days."
"Oh..." He Beichen nodded, thinking that Sanmao was quite human. Many of her behaviors were not like those of a robot. She was almost like a human child.
"What is a conspicuous bag?" He noticed the unfamiliar words Li Xin said and asked in confusion.
"It means that a person attracts a lot of attention. His behavior is different from others and he is more conspicuous... There is also a homonym for 'conspicuous' in 'showy'. In short, Sanmao's behavior just now was conspicuous." Li Xin explained while thinking.
This kind of later Internet vocabulary is quite difficult to explain.
"You mean Fang Yunfeng?" He Beichen nodded. Not only did he understand, he even learned and applied it right away.
"Yes!" Li Xin agreed with this.
Fang Yunfeng is a serious eye-catcher!
After the two of them finished their meal, Li Xin cleaned He Beichen as usual. The wounds recovered very well. Some minor wounds had begun to scab over, and the more serious ones were slowly getting better. There was no infection, which was a blessing.
"Fortunately, your healing ability is strong enough." Li Xin said as he changed his dressing.
"You are the one who changes the medicine for me frequently." He Beichen immediately replied.
Li Xin had to change his medicine every morning and evening, and he was very careful every time, cleaning and disinfecting. With such meticulous care, it would be hard for him not to get better quickly.
…
The next morning, He Beichen got up early again.
"I'm not going to make pancakes this morning, Sanmao. Teach me how to make something else." He Beichen said quickly when he saw Sanmao was about to get flour again.
"?"
Sanmao put down her things and looked at him with some confusion, wondering why he suddenly gave up making pancakes.
Could it be that the pancakes I gave him yesterday hit him hard?
Sanmao thought curiously in her heart.
"How about frying dough sticks, grinding some soy milk, and boiling some tea eggs?" Sanmao asked after a moment's silence.
He Beichen had no objection and asked Sanmao to teach him.
Sanmao played the song "Soy Milk and Fried Dough Sticks" and asked He Beichen to boil water and eggs and knead the dough.
After the eggs are cooked, crack the shells and cook them over low heat with the marinade, tea leaves and salt. After grinding the soy milk, set it aside to cook.
The kneaded dough is almost ready to rise, and then it’s time to fry the dough sticks.
When Li Xin got up, he heard the crackling sound of frying something in the kitchen. It sounded very lively.
"Have you fried the dough sticks?" Li Xin was at the kitchen door and was a little surprised to see He Beichen frying dough sticks.
The fried dough sticks he made were plump and very beautiful, completely different from the ugly cakes he made.
"With your current skills, you can definitely open a breakfast shop." Li Xin said, feeling that it was quite feasible.
When they get older, He Beichen will definitely retire from the army, and she will also retire from the research institute. It would be nice for the old couple to run a breakfast shop together. Sanmao can also make some steamed dumplings, siomai and buns and sell them in small baskets.
Thinking of that heartwarming scene, Li Xin couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with happiness.
