This time, instead of going anywhere else, the group returned directly to the capital.
I've been out for several months now, and it's already September.
Despite the border areas gradually getting colder, the weather in the capital is quite warm, and many people on the streets are still wearing skirts and short sleeves.
Once inside the base, they didn't immediately contact their superiors to cancel their leave; they simply informed them that they had returned.
If there's anything you need her help with, she can certainly help.
Having been away for a long time, Xiao Ping'an still recognized him. Upon seeing Lin Chuchu, he rushed towards her.
"Mom, you're back. I missed you so much."
Xiao Ping'an was darker and fatter than when they last met, and Lin Chuchu now had a hard time even trying to hug him.
"Grandma, how have you been lately? Are you feeling alright?"
While playing with the child, she inquired about the grandmother's condition.
Grandma nodded and said with a smile.
"It's pretty good, but sometimes my eyesight is so bad I can't see people clearly."
Lin Chuchu's heart stirred, and she looked at Aunt Li.
Aunt Li shook her head at Lin Chuchu, indicating that they should talk about it later.
Lin Chuchu could only remain silent and stop asking questions.
She knew in her heart that it was normal for her grandmother to have poor eyesight and tinnitus due to her age, but she was still a little upset.
Seeing that the atmosphere among the group wasn't too good, Liu Xiaonuan smiled and tried to change the subject.
In the evening, the whole family returned home, including Mu Chen, who had come back today.
The two children are at the mischievous age. When they saw their mother trying to pull them along to play, Lin Chuchu refused. She was already in her thirties and didn't have the energy of these kids.
"What happened to Grandma? Did you take her to the hospital?"
Lin Chuchu asked Mu Chen.
"We've already seen the doctor. He said that my grandmother is old, and these are all normal age-related illnesses. It's possible that she may experience tinnitus and memory decline in the future."
Mu Chen was helpless, and Lin Chuchu was also in a bad mood.
"Did the doctor say if it can be treated? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask my supervisor if we can get a doctor to come and take a look."
Mu Chen shook his head. "Because of your status, the top leader specially invited the national doctor, but even the national doctor couldn't do anything about it."
At their age, their parents are also quite old, and their maternal grandmother is over 80 years old. They simply cannot live without someone at home.
Thinking of her parents' gray hair that she saw today, Lin Chuchu felt bad.
The two were lying in bed when Mu Chen suddenly revealed his plan.
"Team Leader Qin helped find a suitable person to manage the store. My parents are taking over the clothing store, and we'll let them check the accounts occasionally so they don't have to work so hard anymore."
"Okay, I've been wanting to do this for a while now. It would be best if you could find a suitable successor, otherwise I'll have to discuss it with Xiaonuan."
Lin Chuchu naturally agreed.
"By the way, I have a month-long vacation this time. We'll be leaving after a month. How about I take my parents, grandma, and Xiao Ping'an to our house by the sea so they can spend the winter there?"
"Dabao and Xiaobao still have to go to school. I'll take them there during winter break."
In that case, Mu Chen would have to go home to visit more often.
Mu Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to my parents tomorrow."
At first, Mr. and Mrs. Mu were not very agreeable, as they were worried about the family business. It wasn't until several people took turns persuading them that they were finally convinced.
When Lin Chuchu leaves, she will take them with her.
During this month, Lin Chuchu went to visit her friends, and Du Lingling became pregnant again, almost four months along now.
Xiao Lu is now a bodyguard and has no plans to have a second child. Feng Tao is married to his partner and their child is three months old. Only Researcher Hou is still single and seems to have no intention of finding another partner.
Lin Chuchu went to the research lab to see them, and arrived at the lab door.
Hi, hello, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Bang!
Liu Xiaonuan executed another over-the-shoulder throw, sending Li Wanpeng crashing to the ground, seeing stars.
Lin Chuchu glanced at him in surprise, then turned to Tian Yan, who was standing next to her.
"Has he still not corrected this bad habit?"
Researcher Tian was also speechless. "He seemed fine usually, but I haven't heard him ask anyone about their partner for the past few months."
What's going on here? Lin Chuchu looked over with a puzzled expression and saw Liu Xiaonuan crack her wrists and suddenly twist Li Wanpeng's ear.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Let go of me..."
Li Wanpeng pleaded for mercy with a pitiful expression on his face.
Liu Xiaonuan was furious. "Why are you asking other people about their partners? Aren't you afraid they'll think you're a pervert and arrest you?"
"I...I didn't ask randomly."
He asked specifically, just to Liu Xiaonuan; he hadn't asked anyone else in a long time.
Because he seems to really like Liu Xiaonuan.
Lin Chuchu looked at him with a face full of surprise. Could he really have fallen for Liu Xiaonuan? However, Liu Xiaonuan hadn't thought about it in that direction yet.
Other onlookers also sensed something was amiss, but no one interfered in such matters. As Liu Xiaonuan's family member, Lin Chuchu also hoped that Liu Xiaonuan could find a partner.
Although Li Wanpeng is a bit silly, he doesn't seem like a bad person. If the two of them can get together, it would be a good match.
Liu Xiaonuan really didn't have that thought; in fact, she never even considered it.
All I want to do now is teach Li Wanpeng a lesson.
Before he knew it, a month had passed. Li Wanpeng had created various chance encounters, but Liu Xiaonuan still hadn't caught on, which made him somewhat discouraged.
But should he give up like this? He was really unwilling. It's okay, no rush, there will be time later.
With that thought in mind, he saw off Lin Chuchu and Liu Xiaonuan, who were going on another mission.
The Mu family also joined them on this trip. Since they weren't in a hurry, they decided to take their time and stop to look at any interesting sights along the way.
This kind of travel was something Mu's parents had never imagined, and their somewhat depressed mood gradually improved.
Along the way, with the protection of soldiers and special passes issued by higher authorities, they encountered no obstacles.
It's like a road trip; you can stop wherever you want, eat, drink, and have fun.
This is something I've never experienced before.
This time, only Mu's father, Mu's mother, Xiao Ping'an, and maternal grandmother came out. Aunt Li stayed behind to take care of the two children. Wang Xingguo had already joined the army, and the army does not have leave. Wang Qiao also stayed at home, occasionally keeping an eye on the clothing store's business.
Mu Chen arranged for his parents to have two bodyguards, a man and a woman, both of whom were Qin's former comrades-in-arms who had retired due to injuries.
Once they arrive at their destination, the two of them will take care of the family.
