Tuanzi cried herself to sleep in Ye Wanying's arms, but even in her sleep, her body was still twitching.
Grandma Yu finally asked, "Yingying, has everything been resolved?" She had been thinking that if they still didn't release her by tonight, she would use her power to pressure them!
Don't think that just because your old man has retired, he's forgotten you!
"Auntie, it's alright now. Thank you so much today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to rest easy about the child!"
Grandma Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. You probably haven't eaten yet, have you? Auntie saved some for you! Wait a minute, I'll go heat it up for you!"
Ye Wanying didn't want to trouble this old man anymore, but now she couldn't refuse, as that would hurt his feelings too much!
Soon, the food was heated up: a bowl of fried rice, a side of cucumber salad (which had been set aside), and a side of stir-fried green beans.
The quantity isn't much, but at this time of year, who can cook a lot of food? Having something to eat is already a blessing!
Ye Wanying placed the baby in her arms on the sofa next to her, and Yu Tong came out of the room with her own sheet and covered her younger brother with it.
Just as we finished eating, the old political commissar returned!
"You're back? Girl?" She was puzzled for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.
When it was daytime, after Ye Wanying was taken away by the disciplinary inspection department, the old political commissar went out and took a four-hour car ride to the military headquarters, where he went directly to the supreme commander! After making a scene at the military headquarters and receiving confirmation from the army commander, he hurriedly took a car back, so he didn't know that Ye Wanying had already returned!
Meanwhile, Gu Ziling received a call from the army commander, but to her surprise, the call was immediately followed by a lecture.
The army commander declared: If this matter is not handled properly and the old political commissar cannot be given an explanation, then Gu Ziling's tenure as minister is over!
Then, before Minister Gu could even explain, the phone abruptly ended!
What else can we do?
Naturally, I will wait until I have some free time to go and apologize in person!
"Uncle Yu, I'm sorry to have worried you and Auntie!"
Ye Wanying isn't stupid. The two elders genuinely care about her family, and she'll naturally find out the reasons when the time is right.
The fact that the old political commissar returned so late, looking travel-worn, made it obvious that it was all for his sake!
However, since the old man doesn't intend to, then we won't ask; it's enough to know in our hearts!
The old political commissar didn't say much: "Okay, it's good that you're alright, I'll go up first!" He was getting old and had been on the bus for several hours, his old bones were almost falling apart!
A look of worry flashed in Ye Wanying's eyes, but to her surprise, the old political commissar simply waved his hand and went upstairs by himself!
........
Half an hour later, Ye Wanying held her son, who was asleep from exhaustion, with two large bags of things she had bought at the market that morning slung over her wrist.
"Auntie, we can go back by ourselves, please don't see us off!"
Grandma Yu had been worried all day, and her spirits weren't as high as usual. "Then I won't see you two off. Be careful on your way back!"
"Yes, I know!"
.........
Ye Wanying carried her son on the road. Occasionally, she would encounter soldiers who, seeing that the mother and son were struggling, would come up to help.
"No, no, no, it's just a little bit of stuff, it's not heavy. It's getting late, the lights are about to go out, you should go back now!"
"Sister-in-law, please don't be so polite!"
"Pfft, I'm not being polite at all, it really isn't heavy. You guys go back quickly, they'll definitely start taking attendance by now!"
