"It's okay, my sister-in-law has already helped to fix it. I'm healthy, so I'll recover quickly."
Shen Xianjun quickly comforted him.
"Could you please say a few good words for me to Mom later? It's her birthday, and I..."
"I used the money you gave me to pick out a dress for Mom, and she likes it very much. Brother, sister-in-law, let's go home together. Your teacher's wife is here too."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ang and Hu Jun followed them into the courtyard. The child, being fast, had already run to the kitchen to deliver the message.
"Grandma, Dad's hand is injured!"
Upon hearing Li Wu's words, Yang Yufen paused for a moment while frying vegetables.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Shen Xianjun's voice then came into the kitchen from outside.
Yang Yufen quickly scooped the vegetables out of the pot, added a ladle of water, wiped her apron, and was about to walk out when Shen Xianjun appeared at the doorway.
"What are you doing in the kitchen? Do you think you can even keep this hand?"
Yang Yufen saw that the person was standing perfectly fine, and that his arm was indeed in a sling.
"Yes, yes, we can have it. It's connected."
Shen Xianjun quickly responded.
"Then let's go inside and make some egg drop soup so we can eat right away."
Seeing Qin Nian standing nearby, with Hu Jun and a few others behind her, Yang Yufen turned and went back into the kitchen.
"How is the current military?"
Aunt Wang has already washed the pot.
"It's alright, we still have everything. We'll go get a couple of pig's trotters to stew tomorrow."
After Yang Yufen said that, Aunt Wang felt relieved.
Originally, we were supposed to eat pancakes for two or three days, but because there was another person to share the burden, we finished them just right by rolling them up with vegetables. Li Wu's eyes sparkled with joy, knowing that he wouldn't have to eat pancakes for several days in a row!
Shen Xianjun was injured and needed to rest, so Hu Jun went next door with Yang Yufen and Aunt Wang.
Zhou Ang told Qin Nian about Shen Xianjun's situation and how to take care of him, then took the children and Professor Wen for a walk.
“Auntie, if you want to build this dormitory, how many workers can stay in the orchard? I know you mean well, but if they can't work for a long time, it's not really a good idea to do this.”
Hu Jun looked very serious.
Yang Yufen looked at her best friend.
“Managing the orchard requires a lot of people. If we build two more chicken coops, we’ll need even more manpower. We also plan to dig canals to raise fish. Even when the orchard is not in use, there are still a lot of odd jobs that can be done at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.”
Aunt Wang began to explain in detail that it wasn't just about doing good deeds, but also about the genuine need for so many people, only that the benefits were better.
Hu Jun listened and nodded.
"In that case, I've arranged for someone to help you with the design to make better use of the land. I'll find someone to handle the necessary paperwork and approvals for you."
"That's great!"
Yang Yufen was very happy to hear this.
"That's because the two aunties are kind-hearted. Many of our retired heroes can receive financial assistance for various reasons, but not for emotional support. Many of our seniors have lost their relatives and don't want to trouble the higher-ups. Finding something to do is a good thing for them."
At home, Qin Nian brought a basin of warm water into the room.
"Why don't you wipe yourself with a towel? That will make you feel more comfortable."
Qin Nian noticed that Shen Xianjun was still covered in dust.
"good."
Shen Xianjun took the towel and wiped his face.
"Niannian, I can't reach my back."
Shen Xianjun spoke in a serious tone.
Qin Nian took a towel and went over to help. She wiped it once, then washed it again and wiped it once more, just in case she heard Shen Xianjun's laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
Qin Nian found it somewhat strange.
"I was so happy that I couldn't help but smile. Thank you, Nian Nian, thank you for remembering Mom's birthday, and thank you for helping me prepare a birthday gift for Mom."
