Lin Xiaoxiao was home alone and didn't really like the chef being there, so she asked Wen Mo to take the chef to their courtyard.
Anyway, Uncle is recovering from his injury and needs more meticulous care.
The chef lives next door and can adjust the diet according to the uncle's condition at any time.
It's just a short walk away. Every time it's mealtime, Lin Xiaoxiao would stroll over, eat, chat with Wen Shiyu and the others for a while, and then stroll back.
She was enjoying a leisurely life, but she was starting to miss Qin Yushen.
She doesn't know when her husband will be back. Seeing her parents showing affection every day makes her heart ache.
Perhaps Lin Xiaoxiao's nagging had an effect, because the next day her second uncle, Chu Xiaonian, brought her some good news.
"Qin Yushen is coming back?" Lin Xiaoxiao almost jumped up.
"Slow down, slow down, ouch!" Chu Xiaonian looked at her stomach and his face turned pale with fright. The guard next to Chu Xiaonian was also startled.
Lin Xiaoxiao touched her stomach, "It's okay, it's okay, Second Uncle, don't get excited."
Chu Xiaonian: "..."
Good heavens, who's getting all worked up here?
"The Xicheng and Jiangcheng troops launched operations from two directions, quickly breaking through the Vietnamese army's defenses. With the Black Panther Commando's tactical infiltration, they successfully encircled and annihilated the forces in the Aoshan area."
"The Vietnamese army's northern defense line has been basically disintegrated, the objective of the counterattack has been achieved, and the higher authorities have announced the withdrawal of troops."
"The main force has all withdrawn back to China, the war has ended, and according to the timeline, Qin Yushen should be able to return to Beijing within a week at the latest."
Upon hearing the news, Chu Xiaonian rushed over to tell Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao was indeed very happy. "We've won the first battle. Second Uncle will be busy again, won't he?"
Chu Xiaonian laughed, "Those little brats performed exceptionally bravely in this battle. Old Han and I discussed it and decided we should give them a good commendation to boost morale."
The Black Panther Commando Unit deserves recognition, as do the soldiers from Jiangcheng and Yuncheng who participated in the battle.
"Thank you, Second Uncle, for making a special trip to tell me this news."
Lin Xiaoxiao was truly grateful that Chu Xiaonian, who was so busy, still took the time to come and tell her the news.
"Hey, don't be so polite with your second uncle." Chu Xiaonian patted her shoulder. "If it weren't for the medicine you gave me, my old man wouldn't be as healthy as he is now. You should be the one thanking me."
In the hearts of the Chu family, Lin Xiaoxiao had done far more for them than they had done for her.
Lin Xiaoxiao is the benefactor of the entire Chu family.
Let alone these trivial everyday matters, as long as it doesn't cross legal or moral boundaries, anything is permissible.
"My second uncle has some business to attend to at the military region, so he'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything." Chu Xiaonian tugged at his sleeve, revealing his wristwatch, and glanced at the time.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao saw him out.
Watching the car drive away, Lin Xiaoxiao grinned happily.
With a quick turn of his toes, he went to the next room.
"Baby, you're here?" Wen Shiyu saw her and happily walked over, took her hand, and led her into the house. "Mom made some clothes for you, try them on and see if they fit."
While trying on clothes, Lin Xiaoxiao said with a bright smile, "Mom, I have good news, do you want to hear it?"
Wen Shiyu stood behind her, zipping up her jacket, and asked with a smile, "What good news?"
"Your son-in-law is coming back." Lin Xiaoxiao was trying on a dress that was much looser at the waist to cover her pregnant belly. She twirled around, and the skirt swayed beautifully.
Perhaps influenced by her good mood, the simple dress seemed to come alive on her.
Wen Shiyu was taken aback at first, then a big smile appeared on her face. "That's really good news."
She and Wen Mo had long wanted to meet Qin Yushen.
"Do you know the exact date of arrival? Mom will ask your dad to buy some good ingredients. Xiao Qin must have been starving and cold on the battlefield, so he needs to be well-nourished when he comes back..."
Listening to her mother's rambling voice, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a warm current flowing through her body, making her feel all warm and cozy.
She couldn't help but hug Wen Shiyu and rest her head on her shoulder.
She whined sweetly, "It's so good to have Mom."
Wen Shiyu's smile deepened, and she reached out to touch Lin Xiaoxiao's face, "Mom is very happy to have you all."
When Wen Mo returned at noon and learned that Qin Yushen was coming back, he was quite happy.
Uncle instructed Wen Mo, "Send someone to the black market in the Northeast to collect some natural medicinal herbs. When Xiao Qin returns, have the chef make him some soup to nourish him properly. He's so young; he can't afford to neglect his health."
Having been on the battlefield, I know how grueling it is to go on a mission.
The hidden injuries and old ailments in his body were left from that time.
I didn't think so much when I was young, but I realized the consequences when I got old.
Things were much better than before, but supplies were scarce. Even soldiers could barely make ends meet; it was impossible to eat anything good.
On the battlefield, they mostly ate compressed biscuits or fried noodles, and carried a military water bottle to ensure their basic drinking needs.
If conditions are slightly better, they can occasionally eat a can of meat.
Wen Mo had served on the battlefield when he was young and was able to endure hardship, but ever since he took Wen Shiyu to Hong Kong, he has lived a life of luxury.
Especially after he rose to the position of Chief Superintendent, everyone treated him with utmost respect.
Not to mention suffering, they can't even suffer the slightest loss.
Although he still harbored some resentment towards his father-in-law for his son-in-law, it did not diminish his respect for soldiers, especially Qin Yushen.
Looking closely at his experiences, even Wen Mo had to admire him.
So, after hearing his uncle's instructions, he nodded without hesitation, "I understand, I'll have someone take care of it this afternoon."
Wild ginseng, hazel mushrooms, codonopsis, lingzhi, angelica, etc. from Northeast China are all good for your health, and you can get them on the black market.
Qin Yushen, who was rushing to Beijing at the moment, had no idea that he was about to face the day when he would drink so much tonic soup that he would vomit.
As the day of Qin Yushen's return draws closer, so does Old Master Lu's eightieth birthday.
"I heard that the fifth son of the Lu family was in a car accident. The families of the fifth and seventh sons of the Lu family rushed back from the Northwest, and the families caused a big scene at the hospital." Old Master Chu brought the latest news about the Lu family.
Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised, "A car accident?"
Cars are so rare that you might not see one or two on the road most of the time, and even when they are on the road, they drive at a slow speed.
If someone can get into a car accident like this, Lu Yunyi must be one of the lucky ones.
Grandpa Chu frowned. "Yes, I heard that his hands and legs were crushed, and his vocal cords were damaged. He may never be able to speak again."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she somehow sensed a conspiracy in that short sentence.
