Yan Junting pointed to the several large bags that had been packed in the house, and repeatedly instructed, "This is for the eldest, this is for the second eldest, and this is for Duoduo. On the day Duoduo is born, if I can't get back immediately, you must not leave anything behind, understand?"
"Understood." Ning Yue, Ye Wenyue, Song Qinglian, and Wu Chunlan exchanged glances, all feeling helpless.
He had been telling Yun Duoduo this every few days since she was eight months pregnant, and recently he's been telling her this every day. Everyone knows what to bring to the hospital for childbirth with their eyes closed.
Yan Junting still felt it wasn't enough, and added, "There's more..."
"Alright, you've said it so many times already. You remind us every day. Even if you don't get annoyed, we are." Looking at Yan Junting, Wu Chunlan couldn't take it anymore and frowned, asking...
"Jun Ting, are you just bored in the army lately, or is something wrong? Why are you more nervous than us? Didn't you complain about us being too nervous a while ago?"
Just then, Yan Honglan also came over during her break, and said with a smile, "Yes, my brother has been nagging like a woman lately, and I'm tired of listening to him."
"You're causing trouble again." Yan Junting gave Yan Honglan a reproachful look, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but he was genuinely worried.
It's his first time being a father, so he has no experience and that's why he's a bit long-winded, right?
His biggest worry was that he wouldn't be home on the day the baby was born, and everyone would be in a rush, which would be troublesome if Yun Duoduo had to worry about all of this.
Ning Yue, being an obstetrician and gynecologist, had probably seen many such scenes. She patted Yan Junting on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Relax. With us mothers here, even if each of us remembers only one thing, we'll make sure to take good care of Duoduo."
Looking at Ning Yue, Yan Junting nodded.
He also knew that even though his mother, Wu Chunlan, was carefree and would panic at crucial moments, his mother-in-law, Song Qinglian, and Ye Wenyue were perfectly capable of handling these situations.
Furthermore, his mother, Ning Yue, is the best obstetrician and gynecologist, and Li Yungang is also a doctor. In addition, the military hospital is the best hospital in Kyoto. Yun Duoduo's childbirth should be safe, but she still feels uneasy, especially as the due date approaches.
Perhaps it was a premonition, but the more things seemed to be going on like this, the more unsettling things actually happened.
Just as they were discussing Yun Duoduo's childbirth, they suddenly saw Li Yunjun, the eldest son of the Li family, appear at the door in a training uniform, looking travel-worn.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were fixed on Yan Junting. Yan Junting immediately had a bad feeling, as did everyone else, and they all remained silent.
Then, Li Yunjun called Yan Junting into the house and said with some difficulty, "Junting, I've run into some trouble."
"What's the matter?" Yan Junting stared at Li Yunjun. He could roughly guess that Li Yunjun's visit at this time was definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yunjun said in a deep voice, "When Deputy Regiment Commander Liu went on a mission, he was ambushed. His entire team was injured, with two killed and the rest seriously wounded. They need reinforcements. After discussion, the higher-ups decided to send your team to provide reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, Yan Junting's expression suddenly turned serious, and he frowned as he looked at Li Yunjun.
Before he could speak, Li Yunjun explained, "Firstly, this isn't the first time you've faced a situation like this, so you have experience."
"Secondly, your team works very well together. In this situation, if only you go, you might have a chance of winning."
Yan Junting nodded, saying nothing more, but asked about his comrades' situation, "How is Deputy Regiment Commander Liu?"
Li Yunjun shook his head, his face grave. "Severe burns, currently receiving emergency treatment, the prognosis is likely grim."
Since that was the case, Yan Junting had no choice. He nodded and went straight to the point, "When do we depart?"
Looking at his watch, Li Yunjun said, "Let's set off immediately, there's no time."
Yan Junting accepted the task and said to Li Yunjun, "Okay, you go to the team first and tell the brothers to pack their things. I'll be there in thirty minutes."
Li Yunjun nodded and turned to leave, but as Duoduo's older brother, he knew what Yan Junting was worried about. He patted Yan Junting's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry about Duoduo, her family will take good care of her."
"Um."
After Yan Junting saw Li Yunjun leave, he went to call Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo was outside the house anyway, and she heard everything the two were saying.
Yan Junting hesitated before speaking, "Duoduo, I..."
Yun Duoduo smiled faintly at him, patted his arm and said, "I heard what Big Brother said to you, go ahead."
Yan Junting knew his wife's personality; she had never held him back when it came to his work and always gave him her full support.
This time, however, he truly felt sorry for Duoduo.
When giving birth, who wouldn't want their husband by their side? But he...
But he really couldn't say any more, so he took Yun Duoduo's hand, kissed it on the lips, and said guiltily, "Wife, I'm sorry."
Yun Duoduo also touched his face with her hand, smiling gently, "I understand. If it weren't for an emergency, if you had no other choice, you definitely wouldn't have chosen to go on a mission at this time, and my brother wouldn't have come to inform you at this time."
Then, she deliberately smiled lightly and reassured Yan Junting, "Don't worry, with so many people around me, I'll be fine. I'll wait for you to come back. On the contrary, even if you were home, you can't do this for me, right?"
"Wife, I..." Yan Junting shook his head, unable to continue speaking.
But as a soldier, he really had no choice.
The organization had given this matter considerable thought before reluctantly sending him on the mission. It was an order, and he couldn't disobey it even if he wanted to.
In his position, everything else has to take a backseat to the nation.
At home, Li Yunjun explained things, and everyone who initially couldn't understand eventually accepted it.
As family members of military personnel, we should have this much awareness.
Yan Junting, on the other hand, seemed extremely worried.
Seeing him like this, everyone was worried and tried to comfort him.
Ning Yue even deliberately said, "It's okay, it's not my due date yet."
Ye Wenyue also said softly, "That's right. Yun Jun also said that if you go on this mission quickly, you might be able to complete it in a week. Maybe you can even come back in time to see the baby being born."
Wu Chunlan patted Yan Junting's arm to reassure him, "Yes, yes, you can focus on your work and don't worry about things at home. I promise to take good care of Duoduo."
At this moment, the support of his family was Yan Junting's strongest backing. Without further hesitation, he reached out and tightly grasped Yun Duoduo's hand before turning and leaving.
