"Big brother, are you going back to the team?"
Shen Xianjun didn't explain, after all, he didn't think there was anything wrong between him and his wife; mutual respect was the best thing!
“I’m going back to the team, but you have a new mission. You’ve been assigned to protect Niannian. Niannian is very important right now, especially the things she’s going to do next. Even a single note can’t fall into someone else’s hands.”
“Nian Nian wrote all night and only fell asleep recently.”
Upon hearing the mission, Shen Xianjun straightened up. After hearing the details of the mission, he then explained why he had been standing at the door.
"Yes, well done. The safe will be delivered soon. Your identity makes it convenient. It's also good that you and your husband spend too little time with the child. If Niannian goes out, especially if she has to leave the family compound, you must go with her."
"receive."
"Since Niannian is resting, I'll be leaving now."
Hu Jun didn't stay any longer.
Fan Juan slept until the afternoon before opening her eyes. Jet lag really takes time to overcome. Not daring to continue sleeping, Fan Juan quickly got up to pack. She still needed to submit a report before leaving and also needed to buy some things.
When Yang Yufen returned home and learned that Niannian was still asleep, she quietly started cooking.
"Mom, I've been given a leave of absence, and I'll be staying home for the next while."
The details of the mission couldn't be discussed; Shen Xianjun only said he was on leave.
"That's great. You've been married for so many years, you're practically strangers. The kids don't spend much time with you either. Since you're on leave, you can cook from now on. This ribs are braised, this duck is stewed, and the shrimp are braised in oil."
Yang Yufen pointed to the ingredients and started arranging them. There are many benefits to handing people over to the army, such as having someone to teach them how to cook.
Shen Xianjun looked at the apron his mother handed him and silently took it.
His mother clearly valued his wife more, preferring those who were good at studying. No wonder he was punished by his mother for not studying hard when he was young; his mother's favoritism was indeed consistent.
Yang Yufen handed the work over to Shen Xianjun. Since the child wouldn't be coming home for lunch, Yang Yufen went next door after thinking about it.
"Why did you come at this time? I heard Niannian is back."
"Yes, I'm back. I'm adjusting to the time difference at home. Life outside is too tough. I used to only eat a little bit, but last night I ate two extra bowls of rice."
"So, given your personality, you should be at home cooking for your daughter-in-law right now, coming over at this time?"
Aunt Wang teased.
“Now that the military is at home, the couple should spend some time together. Even the military has granted him leave to rest, so why should I, as his mother, be in his way?”
"Isn't that great? You worried when we weren't together before, but now that we're together, you can rest assured."
Aunt Wang smiled and took out a bag of peanuts, and the two of them started peeling them together.
"It's like when you have nothing to do, you suddenly feel like you don't know what to do."
Yang Yufen thought that she wouldn't have to take care of the children anymore, and before she knew it, she had been here for six years, from 1981 to 1987.
"You're just used to being busy. You can't stand being idle for even a moment. You feel uncomfortable when you're not busy."
“When the child was young, the day would pass by in no time and I didn’t seem to get much done. Now that the child is older and doesn’t cling to me all the time, I feel quite idle. Now that Niannian is back, I’m thinking of renting a few plots of land to grow something.”
Yang Yufen thinks farming is good. In business, you have to be a pioneer. What you could do before, you can't do now. Everyone imitates everything.
Moreover, she has money now and is not afraid of retirement or medical treatment. She rents out her house to outsiders. When she gets older, she is afraid of causing trouble for her children if she lives too far away. The family compound is good because there are many familiar people there.
"Don't think too much about it. Niannian just got back, the whole family is reunited, isn't that wonderful!"
Aunt Wang spoke reassuringly.
Yang Yufen laughed too. She had only had a few minutes of free time and she was already thinking wildly. It was true that old people tend to overthink things and get stuck on trivial matters.
However, after peeling peanuts for a while, Yang Yufen thought of something else.
With her work certificate in hand, Fan Juan smoothly entered the research institute's staff quarters.
"Aunt Yang? Niannian?"
