Watching the Jeep's taillights disappear at the intersection, Li Chu led Maoqiu back home.
Just as he closed the gate, Zhang Jianshe appeared.
"Uncle, is my dad alright?"
"If you care so much about him, why didn't you go out and ask him yourself?"
"Hehe," Zhang Jianshe scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "You know, my dad and I can't see eye to eye at all. We can't even exchange two words before we start arguing."
"You're so naive. Your dad just doesn't know how to express his feelings. He actually cares about you a lot. Go back and ask the commander if he often calls to ask about you."
Li Chu raised his hand and patted Zhang Jianshe on the shoulder: "Your dad has been very worried about this case. If I hadn't happened to be there and witnessed it, to be honest, I don't know if you would still be able to see him now."
"That serious? Uncle, how is my dad now?"
Seeing the mixture of concern and anxiety on Zhang Jianshe's face, Li Chu smiled and said, "Now you're worried? Don't worry, I'm here. If he takes the medicine I prescribed for him a few days ago on time, he should be fine in the next couple of days. I'll get some more medicine tomorrow, and you can take it back to him when you have time. It would be best if you took your wife and children with you."
Talk to him calmly and rationally. Let him scold you if he wants; it won't cost you anything. If he's willing to hit you, you should be even happier; it means he's still physically healthy. Think carefully about what I'm saying and see if it makes sense.
"Thank you, Uncle. I've remembered everything you said. Give me the medicine tomorrow, and I'll take leave to go back and check on things."
"Okay! Go to bed early, we have a dog at home, so we don't need to worry too much."
"I know, Uncle. You should get some rest too."
Back inside, Li Chu took a relaxing shower, then peeked out the curtain; the snow was falling even heavier.
"Sigh, I'll have to clean up the snow on the roof tomorrow," he thought to himself.
When he turned off the living room light and went into the bedroom, he looked at the bed and, lo and behold, his wife was staring at him with her big, blinking eyes.
"Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come in?"
"Hey, after I put you on the bed, Meng Ge came over, but he didn't come in. We just stood at the door and talked for a while." Li Chu took off his pajamas, crawled into the quilt, and casually pulled his wife into his arms.
Ding Qiunan found a comfortable position in his arms before asking, "Brother Meng, is something the matter?"
"Nothing serious, I'm just happy and came over to chat with you for a bit."
Stroking his wife's smooth, delicate skin in his arms, he continued, "That beast has finally confessed completely, and Brother Meng can leave without regrets this time."
"He confessed? He was the one who handled all the previous cases? Hmm? Left? Who are you saying left, Meng Ge? Where did he go?"
"You're asking too many questions. Don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly."
...
When Ding Qiunan heard that Zhang Meng was going to the Finance Bureau, she couldn't help but laugh.
"He's going to let Jia Dong and Jia Yuan take turns being the leader, what a deep connection."
"Who can argue with that?"
“Oh, darling,” Ding Qiunan rested her chin on Li Chu’s chest and looked at him, asking, “Can men really have such a strong addiction? Doesn’t their bodies feel like they can’t handle it?”
"How would I know? I've never even met him. Maybe he's just exceptionally talented."
"Are you addicted?"
"What do you think? You should be the most qualified to answer this."
"I don't know either, can you let me experience it again?"
"You experience this every day and you still don't know?"
"Who said every day? There isn't one today."
"Then let's go, let me give you a real taste of it. We'll fight tonight until dawn."
"Hmph~ Bring it on, who's afraid of who!"
The sound of wind and snow all night, how many flowers have fallen?
...
The next morning, when Li Chu walked into the office feeling refreshed, Zhao Zhijun followed him in.
Good morning, boss.
"Good morning, Zhijun. What's the schedule for today?"
"This morning at nine o'clock, Sarah from the United States came for a follow-up appointment. There's a meeting at headquarters at two o'clock this afternoon that you need to attend, and you need to go to the sanatorium tomorrow."
"There's a meeting this afternoon?" Li Chu turned to Zhao Zhijun and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What kind of meeting do I need to attend?"
He never attends the headquarters' work meetings because he is not involved in administrative management; this position is merely a nominal one.
"The General Office did not specify the content of the meeting in its notification, but it required that all officers at the division level or above from all units under the headquarters must attend."
"Okay, I understand. If the external liaison office from headquarters brings people over later, have them wait in the third consultation room first, and then let me know."
"yes"
"Oh, by the way, there's no one in the examination room today. Let them wait outside the examination room."
Wenxuan is taking another day off today to accompany Yueyue to school. As for Duan Jianing and Liu Ziqiang, they have exams at the college in the next couple of days, and winter break is just around the corner.
After Zhao Zhijun left, Li Chu sat on the sofa, pondering the meeting that afternoon.
The headquarters oversees all its units, which is a very large area, covering the entire country.
What could be so important that it requires such a grand ceremony?
Could it be an announcement about cutting one million troops this year?
If the authorities really don't reduce the number of troops in the field forces, then only the logistics forces will be left.
Forget it, these things are not his concern. Since he's been notified to attend a meeting, he should just go and say yes.
After four months of treatment, the swelling on Sarah's face had long since disappeared.
Honestly, Sarah's appearance is considered beautiful even by Asian standards. I don't know how Charles managed to win over such a beautiful girl back then.
When they met again after a month, Sarah was so excited that she rushed over to give him a hug.
Li Chu quickly took a step back, then smiled and refused, saying, "Ms. Sarah, you've been in China for over four months, you should know that we don't have this kind of etiquette here."
Sarah's actions just now terrified the translator from the Foreign Affairs Office. He thought he was going to be in trouble today. After seeing Li Chu's decisive refusal, he quickly translated what she said.
“Li, it is very impolite of you to refuse a lady like that.”
"I'm so sorry, but I'll still insist."
"Okay, but Li, how have you managed to put up with you for so many years, given how boring you are?"

Another staff member who was taking notes accidentally tore the notebook apart with a tremor of his hand.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Being a recorder was really too difficult. There were so many things he didn't know how to record. He was determined not to come again next time, he kept telling himself.
