Remembering that her second brother seemed to know someone was trying to trip him up when they last met, Ye Weiwei asked again, still feeling uneasy.
Ye Huaijin had nothing to hide from his own sister and explained the situation in general.
It's simply because he's performed too well in the military all these years, which has blocked some people's path and made them uncomfortable, so they've been trying to trip him up.
Adding to his troubles, those people thought they had found an opportunity to suppress him, so they took advantage of his misfortune.
Fortunately, his uncle intervened, and his former boss also took good care of him. His family announced early that they were severing ties with him, which helped to put the matter under control in time.
After he transferred to the West China Military Region, those people were still reluctant to let him go and leaked his information to the people there. In the beginning, some people often tried to trip him up, but he was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, those people were too far away to cause any big trouble, and he managed to deal with them.
Although it was only a few words, Ye Weiwei could imagine the difficulties involved.
She trusted her second brother's abilities and skills, but she still reminded him: "You can't be too careful. You must not let your guard down and be wary of being stabbed in the back at a crucial moment."
Ye Huaijin smiled and pinched Ye Weiwei's cheek. "I know."
Seeing that he had truly taken her words to heart, Ye Weiwei jokingly said with a smile, "Only mediocre people are not envied! You can only blame yourself for being too outstanding, Second Brother!"
Ye Huaijin glanced at Ye Weiwei with a smile: "What can I do? I have such an outstanding little sister like you. How can I be your brother if I'm not outstanding too!"
"Of course! Not just anyone is worthy to be my brother, Ye Weiwei!"
The two of them burst into laughter.
Huo Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard the two of them talking so shamelessly after he finished making dinner.
The guest room had been prepared long ago, and the kang (heated brick bed) had been heated. Ye Weiwei changed the quilt and bedding for her second brother, and Huo Xiao boiled a large pot of hot water for him to take a comfortable bath and relax.
That night, Xiao Xingxing went to sleep with Ye Huaijin. The uncle and nephew made a fuss in the room for a while before finally falling asleep.
Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao couldn't help but laugh along with Xiao Xingxing as they listened to her joyful laughter.
This kid is much more lively than when he first came back. He follows those two boys, Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan, around all day and is almost turning into a little rascal!
Huo Xiao hadn't been home to sleep with his wife for two nights, and tonight, without Xiao Xingxing, the little third wheel, he couldn't help but feel a little restless and tempted with her warm and soft body in his arms.
But considering that Ye Weiwei was pregnant, he had no choice but to suppress his restlessness.
Ye Weiwei knew he was feeling unwell, but it was best not to eat meat during the first three months of pregnancy. Even though she had a special constitution, she felt she should still exercise restraint.
After all, it wasn't just Huo Xiao who was suffering.
After becoming pregnant, her body became much more sensitive, and she couldn't resist any stimulation. Even a casual breath from Huo Xiao could arouse her desire.
The two of them cleverly shifted their focus.
How's work with your transport team?
"It's alright, simpler than managing those greenhorns."
If you're not happy, then teach us a lesson!
His soldiers were known to be the most difficult to manage, almost all of them were troublemakers, but none of the soldiers he trained were cowards.
Ye Weiwei thought about it and realized that this was no problem for Huo Xiao.
To be honest, although the work in the transport team is better than farming at home, it's really a waste of Huo Xiao's talents to do this job.
Have you never thought about going back to the army?
She had overheard Huo Xiao talking to a leader in the military, who said he really wanted him to return to the army and even offered to promote him to officer.
She overheard it by chance when Xu Fei drove them back from the county town.
However, Huo Xiao only said he would think about it.
Now that you've taken on a job with the transport team, it's basically like you've changed careers, right? Does that mean you've decided not to go back?
Huo Xiao rubbed his chin against Ye Weiwei's head before saying, "I've taken on a mission, but there's a confidentiality agreement. The transport team job is just a cover. I can't go into details with you, just keep it to yourself. As for whether I'll go back to the army, we'll see. I can't bear to be separated from you for so long right now."
Ye Weiwei chuckled: "What do you call this? Being hopelessly addicted to women? Wouldn't your boss be furious if he knew you were like this?"
It's said that his manhood was carefully cultivated!
Huo Xiao snorted: "Who cares! It's his fault for meddling!"
He now strongly suspects that the old fox deliberately "accidentally" leaked the news of his recovery, and then used him to teach the Yao family a lesson.
Ye Weiwei: "The transportation team job is just a front. What about the wages and benefits we were promised before? We're not going to work for free!"
Huo Xiao chuckled; his little wife had the potential to be a money-grubber.
"Don't worry, during the mission, you'll receive all the benefits you deserve, if not more."
Ye Weiwei nodded, "That's more like it."
The two were just getting ready for bed when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Ye Weiwei used her spiritual power to look outside and found a hunched figure standing there, wearing a thin coat and shivering. His haggard face, beneath his gray hair, was filled with anxiety and worry.
This person is from the cowshed area; he must have something urgent to do coming here so late.
Huo Xiao had just put on a coat and gotten off the kang (heated brick bed) when the door to the guest room opened. Ye Huaijin, who had just put Xiao Xingxing to sleep, saw Huo Xiao come out and said, "Hurry up and go see him. It's so late, something urgent must have happened."
Huo Xiao nodded and went out to open the door.
After the person outside, shivering from the cold, explained his purpose, Huo Xiao let him in. The person thought for a moment, looked around to make sure no one was there, walked into the courtyard, and stood behind the door in a sheltered spot, refusing to go any further.
Ye Weiwei had already started getting dressed after Huo Xiao left. Before Huo Xiao could even speak when he came in, Ye Weiwei grabbed the bag hanging on the clothes rack and said, "Let's go."
Ye Huaijin could roughly guess the identity of the person standing at the door. Therefore, when he saw his sister and Huo Xiao getting ready to go out, he only told them to be careful and then watched them leave.
The man who came was named Zheng Weiguo, a native of Haicheng. He was in his fifties but looked like he was seventy. He had been in Daqingshan Village for more than three years.
The reason he came looking for Ye Weiwei in the middle of the night was that his old roommate had secretly gone up the mountain to find food a couple of days ago, fell into a trap, injured his leg, caught a cold, and developed a high fever. He was delirious and started talking nonsense. The roommates had no other choice but to finally decide to come and find Ye Weiwei.
They heard from the villagers that Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao were good people, and that they had even brought down Director Yang and his gang from various committees in the town a few days ago. That's why they dared to come to seek medical help with a try-it-out mentality.
Ye Weiwei learned almost everything about Qin Zhenyuan's illness from what Zheng Weiguo said along the way.
Saving lives is urgent, and since Zheng Weiguo was walking too slowly, Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao had to let him walk slowly behind them while they hurried to the cowshed.
