At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of a car horn outside made the two children on the sofa restless.
"My mom is back."
Guan Xiaojun brought the children over and waved to them, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma haven't eaten yet. You go home first, Mom will go out to buy some food."
Hearing this, Zheng Lanxiang quickly came out and called out to her, "I just finished cooking. If it's convenient for you, come over and have a meal with me. You helped with the move, and I bought groceries today specifically to celebrate the housewarming. My relatives are busy in the countryside and can't come over, so I'm happy that you're here."
The old lady felt that this was a kind person who had experienced legitimate underworld battles, and she could tell at a glance that his words were frank and not false.
The old man is easygoing and came here at his daughter-in-law's arrangement. He's someone who's experienced hardship, and as long as he has food to eat, he's content and doesn't complain about anything.
Guan Xiaojun really didn't expect to be invited to stay for dinner. Her mother died early, and she had always had to be mindful of others' feelings since she was a child. She could tell from Zheng Lanxiang's smiling face that she was right. She paused for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Hey!" Zheng Lanxiang grinned broadly. "Then leave your things at home and come over later."
Guan Xiaojun bent down and led her parents-in-law home. After changing her clothes and washing her face and hands, she prepared to go over.
Five dishes are still too few.
If you count on your fingers, with five adults and four children, there should be at least seven dishes.
Zheng Lanxiang went to her daughter and said, "What do you have that can be cooked? Bring it out and I'll add another dish."
"Let me look for it, I'll send it over in a bit."
"Okay, hurry up." Zheng Lanxiang went out and left the door slightly ajar.
Jiang Shuyin rummaged through the items in her spatial storage. She realized that she didn't have much food left. She would have to buy something to replenish it before going out. Then she took a few sausages as thick as her forearm to the kitchen.
Zheng Lanxiang had just washed the cucumbers, so she decided to make a classic dish—stir-fried cucumbers with ham.
Once everyone had arrived, they looked at the dishes on the table; there were both meat and vegetables, as well as a seasonal vegetable soup.
After sitting down, the old man immediately raised his hand, turned his back, and coughed. Jiang Shuyin looked up, went to the kitchen, cut the grapefruit peel, put it in the teapot to boil, and brought it up: "Grapefruit water, it moisturizes the lungs and clears phlegm. It's good to drink some after meals to aid digestion."
Everyone was stunned, but the old lady reacted quickly, taking it with both hands: "Thank you, thank you, this is an old problem of his."
Back then, I was sent to the border to provide assistance, and I stayed there for twenty years. I made great contributions and was awarded by the higher authorities, but I ended up with a lot of incurable illnesses because of the long time that had passed.
Jiang Shuyin glanced at Hei Mei. The child's healing skills were higher than hers and could be upgraded. She was just sharing that basic superpower. There was nothing to be jealous of about her own daughter; it was good enough that she had one.
Hei Mei understood, and under the guise of pouring tea, she walked behind the old man. The faint green light of the healing spell entered, and the old man paused, pressing his eyelids down to cover his eyes.
Doesn't he feel anything in his own body?
Feeling well, the old man ate a few more bites than usual. He ate as quickly as he used to, and after finishing his meal, he didn't get up immediately, so he kept refilling his pomelo tea cup after cup.
Women tend to talk together. Jiang Shuyin is quiet when facing strangers, and sometimes she only speaks a few words when Zheng Lanxiang calls on her.
Guan Xiaojun lowered her eyes and thought, if she hadn't learned it from her cousin, who would have thought that this seemingly timid, introverted, and unassuming woman was actually doing deadly work behind the scenes.
He's a capable person.
The old lady's surname was Mei, a surname that sounds nice no matter what she's called, and she spoke in a pleasant tone: "From now on, our two families will get along like this. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll definitely help if I can."
If someone says it's true, then it can't be wrong.
Jiang Shuyin did have something on her mind that she had kept to herself for a long time, but she still didn't say it.
After finishing her meal and seeing the person off, Jiang Shu received a phone call. Seeing that the number was unusual, she walked to the side to make sure no one was around before answering.
"Leave early! Pack your things quickly, we'll be at your new home in an hour."
"receive."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shuyin went to pack her things, taking all the food from home with her, leaving money for her mother to continue buying things, and taking the child with her. With Heimei around, her chances of survival would be twice as high.
My mother was home alone and she was worried about her. She had everything prepared, and when she heard people talking next door, she knocked on the door.
There was silence inside, and she was somewhat surprised to see it when the door opened.
Jiang Shu kept it brief, saying, "I have to go out for a while, and it might take a bit longer. Could you please keep an eye on the elderly at home? Thank you."
“Hey, hey, go ahead.”
Zheng Lanxiang was also standing in the courtyard, her eyes red. She could tell from her daughter's demeanor that something was amiss. She only dared to think the best. Seeing that her daughter was still worried about her before leaving, she went over and gently patted her. She opened her mouth, but after a long pause, she could only utter two words: "Go."
The car that came to pick her up was completely black. It didn't rush her; it just watched her with its eyes and its hands on the steering wheel, ready at any moment.
Jiang Shuyin got into the car with her child, feeling sad. When she looked up, she saw an acquaintance sitting in the car. The acquaintance turned his head and smiled at her when he saw her looking at him.
It felt like eating a piece of ice-cold watermelon in the middle of summer.
The car started moving, and the people outside followed a few steps, calling out, "Come back soon!"
Zheng Lanxiang really wanted to tell her not to go.
After she left, all the strength she had been holding onto vanished, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to kneel down. The old lady quickly helped her up, saying, "Take good care of yourself so she can see you when she comes back."
Zheng Lanxiang nodded, not wanting to eat anymore. The house was empty, so she just lay down when she got back.
Around 5 p.m., Guan Xiaojun and her husband Xu Guozhong returned home from get off work.
The old man suddenly asked, "Why did the neighbor bring their child along?"
He vaguely guessed that it was a secret operation and therefore dangerous, so he didn't understand this point.
Xu Guozhong was unaware of this and looked at his wife, Guan Xiaojun, who said, "We can't say. The child isn't an ordinary child."
It was clear; the old man took a deep breath and didn't want to cough at all.
He was a reconnaissance soldier; how could he not know who was behind him?
Suddenly, he heard the sound of an airplane overhead. The old man looked up and squinted to see that it was a very small plane.
That night, many people saw the planes in the skies over several cities, sparking heated discussions on online forums.
1st floor: I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Does anyone have any inside information to share?
2nd floor: Let's destroy it, it's going on forever, let's all just give up on life.
3rd floor: Is the person upstairs an idiot? Having trouble with life?
4th Floor: (Speaking tentatively) I'm in Guangxi Province, but it seems like I've gone abroad. [Image][Image]
