Bai Qian and Xiao Haili ate their meal quickly.
"Jin Nian, thank you for your hard work today. We'll be going now." Bai Qian picked up her bag.
Ran Jinnian knew exactly what they were thinking: "Why are you all in such a hurry?"
"We'll come again next time."
Bai Qian pulled Xiao Haili away.
Once the two left, Lu Jinyuan finally had something to say: "Wife, I probably won't be able to stay for long this time."
"Oh, why? Didn't you just get back?"
Ran Jin lost her appetite after reading this.
"I said possibly, not necessarily." Lu Jinyuan didn't reveal any information, after all, the military region's missions were all classified.
Ran Jinnian knew that even if she asked him, he wouldn't say much.
There was no way around it; she was a military wife, and she had to adapt to all of this from the very first day she married him.
"Eat more."
Ran Jinnian concealed her sadness and kept putting food on Lu Jinyuan's plate.
An'an, biting her spoon, watched as her mother kept putting food on her father's plate, and the little one said sourly, "Mom is being unfair."
Ran Jinnian?
"Mom keeps putting food on Dad's plate." The little guy's tone was a bit off, but it was still understandable.
The couple burst out laughing, and the atmosphere became cheerful.
“Your father suffers and works hard outside, we should feel sorry for him.”
Ran Jinnian patiently explained to the little guy.
The little one seemed to understand but not quite: "Does Daddy eat tree bark and leaves outside?"
Ran Jin told the little guy the story of the Red Army. During that difficult period, the Red Army had no food and could only eat tree leaves and bark.
The little guy remembered eating tree leaves and bark, and later he even ate a bite of a leaf himself, which made him cry out in pain from the bitterness.
Ran Jinnian was about to speak.
Lu Jinyuan continued earnestly, "Dad doesn't eat tree leaves and bark outside, but the food he eats isn't as good as what we have at home."
"Oh, so it eats grass roots?" The little guy now has a million questions.
Lu Jinyuan was very patient: "It's a kind of compressed biscuit, and there's also canned food, but the taste isn't very good."
He remembered he had some compressed biscuits and canned food left in his bag: "Dad, have some."
"OK."
An'an was especially looking forward to it.
Lu Jinyuan first gave An'an a compressed biscuit.
These biscuits are for military use, so they are more filling than regular compressed biscuits, but the taste is just average.
The little guy took a bite, and soon his face scrunched up: "Water, water."
Ran Jinnian poured him a glass of water.
After drinking the water, the little guy refused to eat any more compressed biscuits.
"Are compressed biscuits tasty?"
"It doesn't taste good."
"Then try this one." Lu Jinyuan opened another remaining can of meat.
The little guy refused to eat it as soon as he smelled it, and kept covering his mouth and shaking his head.
"Look, Daddy eats this every day while he's on a mission. You have so much good food at home, are you still going to be picky about food?" Lu Jinyuan put the can down when he saw that the little guy wasn't eating.
"I want to eat carrots."
The little guy immediately ate the rest of the carrots in his bowl.
From then on, he stopped being a picky eater.
night.
After Ran Jin read a story to An An, the little one quickly fell asleep.
Lu Jinyuan came out after washing up and saw the little guy sleeping sprawled out on the bed: "I'll take him to the second bedroom."
“He wakes up in the middle of the night if he sleeps alone.” Ran Jinnian had thought about separating An’an from his bed, but the little guy is too young now and he is very attached to Ran Jinnian.
Ran Jinnian tried several times but failed, and planned to wait until he was four years old to sleep in a separate bed.
...
I'm so sorry, something really big happened in my family recently.
