When Yao Yanxin brought out the food, Lao Pan and Minister Tan had already left. Yao Yanxin scolded them, "Your father beat someone up, and you didn't even invite them to stay for dinner!"
"Brother Xiao helped them translate twenty books, and he's so happy he got beaten up! I originally only agreed to translate two, but now it's increased tenfold!"
Ruan Shengpeng came out carrying the dishes: "What, twenty books?"
"It's like you punched someone a few times, and we ended up translating 18 more books!"
Ruan Shengpeng touched his nose somewhat sheepishly: "I saw the door was open and thought a bad guy had come in. I saw his hand kept going towards your chest, so I thought he was a bad guy!"
"His hand reached into your lap?" Xiao Gengwu stood up, somewhat angrily!
"No, no, it's just that Dad saw it from his angle. He kept trying to stuff the book into my arms, and I didn't want to take it!"
"As a result, Dad hit the person, so you had to pick them up!"
Xiao Gengwu comforted Yao Tongjia: "It's okay, I have time anyway. I'll translate. I haven't earned money in a long time, so it's not bad to earn a few thousand yuan for you to spend!"
"What do you mean several thousand yuan?" Ruan Shengpeng asked curiously.
"He translates books for people, and he charges 100 yuan per book!"
"No! My translation fee has doubled now, it's 200 yuan per book! I told him to transfer all the money back to our old savings account, and you can spend it all!"
Yao Tongjia gave Xiao Gengwu a thumbs up: "You're amazing, you doubled it in one go!"
Xiao Gengwu was praised, his eyes full of smiles: "You know how to train people!"
These words made Yao Tongjia laugh: "I don't know how to train people, so don't put all sorts of things on my head!"
Seeing his daughter laughing heartily at the boy's antics, Ruan Shengpeng felt a pang of sadness: "It's just a few thousand yuan, I can save it up for you over a few years!"
Just then, Yao Tongxu came in with his schoolbag on his back: "It smells so good! Can we eat now? I'm starving!"
He was somewhat surprised to see Ruan Shengpeng: "Why are you here too?"
Upon seeing Yao Tongxu, Ruan Shengpeng couldn't help but smile broadly: "I came to see you. It must be very hot. I'll go get you some water to wash your face. Come on!"
Seeing Yao Tongxu leave with Ruan Shengpeng, Yao Tongjia sighed, "Luckily, we didn't live with him when we were little, otherwise he would have spoiled us rotten!"
"How could that be? My dad used to treat me the same way, and I wasn't spoiled! Your mom is still a college student!"
Yao Tongjia could only nod, but she disagreed in her heart. Perhaps Yao Yanxin was indeed good at academics, but she was not able to be independent in life!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on marrying Ruan Shengpeng right after her father passed away. Ruan Shengpeng was forced to come here after going on a mission, and he almost lost his own child!
If Xiao Yan hadn't stayed with them, they might not have survived!
After the family finished eating, Ruan Shengpeng couldn't leave the military region for too long. In addition, Yao Yanxin had made an appointment with someone to return home. So the couple took the raw materials given to them by Yao Tongjia and went back home!
Xiao Gengwu stopped fiddling with the wood and started translating the book that needed to be translated. Before he could finish translating it, Xiao Yan was brought back by the eagle-eyed man!
Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia were overjoyed to see Xiao Yan return safely. Although they didn't say it, they were actually very anxious!
Xiao Gengwu pulled the eagle-eyed man down to sit: "Thank you for bringing my mother back. I'm going out to buy groceries now and cook you a meal. Please wait a moment!"
When he heard that they were going to cook for him, the eagle-eyed man swallowed the food instead of refusing. He was really craving home-cooked meals, and he just wanted to experience it!
Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia went out. Yao Tongjia thought about her spatial resources and asked, "I still have noodles and rice. What are you planning to do?"
"I think he's never eaten a home-cooked meal before. Last time, his eyes were almost glued to our dinner table."
Let's go to the market and see what they have, but we have to buy a lot. He exercises regularly, so he should be able to eat a lot!
After discussing it, the two decided to cook a big pot of rice and a big pot of noodles, and also buy some fish and meat, as they had vegetables at home.
When the two returned with large bags and bundles, the hawk-eyed man said apologetically, "Won't this eat up your entire month's worth of food?"
"No, no, we often go back to the countryside, and the village chief brings us grain!"
Knowing that Hawkeye was in a hurry to get back and report, Xiao Yan also went into the kitchen to help wash the vegetables. Later, Yao Tongjia saw that she looked exhausted and pushed her out of the kitchen: "Go sit with them. There's no need for all three of you to be in the kitchen!"
"Look, there's no room to turn around. It's too tiring. We'll be quick!"
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Xiao Yan went out. The eagle-eyed man was reading a newspaper on the table. When he saw Xiao Yan come out, he was a little surprised: "Weren't you the one who cooked?"
"My son cooks. He learns everything quickly, and he even cooks very well. You'll see when you try it!"
The eagle-eyed man pointed to the many books on the table: "How long will it take to read all these books?"
Xiao Yan laughed: "Him? He inherited his grandparents' scientific genes; he's exceptionally intelligent and reads very quickly. I used to frequent the recycling center to buy him more books."
"But no matter how many books I bring back, it's never enough for him! He reads like it's a game, flipping through the pages as if he hasn't even glanced at them, but he's actually finished them all!"
"What do your parents do?" the hawk-eyed man asked, seemingly casually.
“They are all researchers. I lived with them in the compound when I was young. Later, when I got married, they said they were going to do a secret research project.”
"I haven't seen them since then, and I don't know how old they are now!" Xiao Yan's eyes were full of longing.
Almost twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how many gray hairs my parents have, and how many wrinkles they have on their faces!
The eagle-eyed man seemed unable to bear seeing Xiao Yan's worry: "They are researchers under national protection, they should be taken good care of!"
Xiao Yan shook her head: "This is a crazy era. We lost contact for a long time before, and we only recently received their message for the first time."
"One of their men betrayed them, and they were implicated and restricted from sending messages out! They said they were coming to see me, but I don't know when they'll be able to!"
Xiao Yan rarely talks about her parents with anyone other than Yao Yanxin. Today, facing the eagle-eyed man, she unconsciously talks more and more. Perhaps the halo of her savior makes her unconsciously lower her guard against him!
Just then, Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu brought the food up. The eagle-eyed man unconsciously swallowed, and he suddenly felt very hungry!
