Shen Xianjun was telling Qin Nian how he got his arm injured. He had kicked the man away, but the fuse on the gunpowder on the man's body was too short. During the explosion, Shen Xianjun fell to the ground and his arm hit a rock, breaking with a crack.
"Daddy, why can you sleep with Mommy?"
Li Wu suddenly ran into the room, lay down by the bed, and stared intently at Shen Xianjun with his big eyes.
"Cough cough~"
Qin Nian choked on her saliva and coughed twice.
"I want to sleep with Mommy too!"
Li Wu looked at Qin Nian, whose face turned red from the choking.
"Um, um, your dad hurt his arm. How about Mom lets you sleep with Mom next time?"
Qin Nian couldn't bear to refuse her child's request.
"Liwu, you're a little man now, how can you still cling to your mother to sleep?"
Shen Xianjun spoke.
"But Dad, you're still a big man!"
Li Wu spoke with righteous indignation, leaving Shen Xianjun speechless for a moment.
“This is my wife, she’s different.”
Shen Xianjun managed to utter a single sentence.
"This is my mom, we're even closer!"
Shen Xianjun felt a lump in his throat, and suddenly felt as if he were seeing himself as a child, when he was angry with his mother. He took a deep breath.
"You want bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork, kid!"
"Wow! Mommy, Daddy's going to hit me!"
Li Wu let out a loud shout, which left Qin Nian both amused and exasperated.
Yang Yufen was about to go to sleep when she heard the noise, so she put on her clothes and came out.
"Liwu, have you been misbehaving at school lately? Have your dad go to the school and ask your teacher tomorrow."
Yang Yufen spoke, and Li Wu immediately became obedient.
"Grandma, I'm being good. Dad doesn't need to go. If we do something bad, the teacher will come to our home. I'm going to bed now. I can't be late for school tomorrow."
Li Wu quickly went back to his room, only to be met with his younger brother's mockery.
When Yang Yufen saw that the child had gone back to the house, she didn't say anything. She poured herself some water in her teacup and took it inside.
"It's always the mother who knows how to manage the kids."
Shen Xianjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liwu's personality is like yours."
Qin Nian said something, her face still full of sarcasm.
Liao Yuanjie went to the kitchen of the mess hall and handed a pack of cigarettes to Old Li, the head of the mess hall.
"I can't take this. What do you want? Do you want special treatment or something? Just say it."
"Old Li, you're the best cook around here. I'd like to learn how to cook from you."
Liao Yuanjie spoke up boldly.
"You? What are you doing learning to cook? Did you come here to steal my skills? You scared me."
"This doesn't mean you have to win someone's heart through their stomach, hehe, so I..."
"Oh my, the cycad has blossomed! My wife was won over by a meal I gave her, and she said that even tree bark tastes better when I cook it than anyone else. Okay, for the sake of my comrade's happiness, let me see what you can cook."
Upon hearing this, Old Li immediately became delighted.
"I know how to start a fire."
