"You're quite thoughtful, girl. I've already made the kang. Just clean up the room so you don't have to sleep on the floor at night."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lin, you sit down and rest for a while, we'll make dinner and then go back."
"Girl Tang, it's still early. There's no need to have dinner. I'll go back first."
Tang Shiyan immediately stood up, took a few apples, washed them, and handed one to each of them.
"Uncle Lin, since you don't want to eat dinner, then have an apple."
"Okay then, thank you, girl Tang."
"It's okay, it's just an apple. By the way, Uncle Lin, how much did you pay for this kang? I'll give it to you later."
"Girl Tang, since they're soldiers and living in your house, I'll give them a discount of four dollars."
Xia Jinnian took out some money from his pocket, counted out four yuan, and handed it to Lin Ronghua. "Uncle Lin, thank you for being so busy and giving us a discount."
"Comrade Xia, you don't have to be polite. It's our duty as a soldier to do what we can for you."
"You are the ones who protect our country. Without you, we ordinary people will never be safe."
"Uncle Lin, don't say that. Protecting our country and the people is our duty as soldiers."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore and will go back first."
"Okay, Uncle Lin, take care."
While Zhou Jinrui and the other two were cleaning up the room, Tang Shiyan pulled Xiaotian out of the space.
"Xiaotian, you must not speak in front of the people in the room, or I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons."
"Sister, I understand. I promise I won't speak when they are around."
"Yeah, just stay over there. We have to make dinner."
Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. They wanted to make some extra food and send some to the cowshed for their grandparents.
"Jinnian, we need to cook more food tonight. Once it's ready, we'll invite your three brothers to eat."
"We'll take some to the cowshed to eat with grandpa and grandma. Your grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt have missed you a lot since you've been back in the army."
"Okay, Yanyan, I'll cook the food myself this time. Grandpa and grandma haven't eaten my cooking in a long time."
"Yes, Jinnian, I'll help you light the fire and add water."
They made ginseng pheasant soup, braised spare ribs, twice-cooked pork, braised beef, garlic vegetables, braised eggplant, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
The two of them cooperated very well. Tang Shiyan lit the fire and added water while Xia Jinnian was responsible for cooking. After forty minutes, all the meals were ready.
Xia Jinnian: "You three should hurry up and wash your hands and eat. It hasn't taken you this long to clean up the room, has it?"
"Boss, we'll be right there. The room is ready."
Zhou Jinrui, Su Chengyuan and Feng Shuhuai immediately came out of the room and saw the table full of delicious food, their mouths watering.
"Sister-in-law, you guys have cooked so many delicious meals again. It seems like we are in for a treat. If we keep eating like this every day, it would be strange if we don't gain weight."
"Haha, I saw that you were training so hard in the army and your life was not easy, so I made some delicious meals for you since you came here."
"We know that sister-in-law is the best for us."
"It's good that you three know this. Why don't you come and sit down to eat? I told you last time about my family being sent down."
"The last time I went back to the army, your sister-in-law took me to the cowshed. I realized that the people in the cowshed were actually my family."
"All this is thanks to your sister-in-law. If it weren't for her, I don't know when I would have been able to meet my family again."
"I've been back in the army since we last met. We haven't seen each other for half a month. We cooked extra food tonight. Your sister-in-law and I will take it to the cowshed to eat with them."
"So the three of you should clear away the dishes and clean up after you finish your meal at home."
"You can't tell anyone outside about our visit to the bullpen, or I'll send you back to the army."
"Okay, Boss, we got it."
Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian carried baskets full of food and walked towards the cowshed. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived outside the cowshed.
Tang Shiyan called out softly, "Grandma, I'm here, open the door quickly."
When Lin Lihong heard the shouting outside, she knew it must be her beloved granddaughter-in-law coming, so she immediately stood up and opened the door.
As soon as Lin Lihong opened the door, Tang Shiyan pushed Xia Jinnian forward. When she saw Xia Jinnian appear in front of her, she was suddenly surprised.
Xia Jinnian: "Grandma, I suddenly appeared in front of you. Are you surprised?"
"Of course. I'm so happy to finally see my eldest grandson. You don't know that during the half month you were away, Miss Tang brought us delicious meals every two days."
"Tell us all to take care of ourselves and not to worry about you. He said that you'll be back here to carry out your mission soon as you're well."
"You don't know how much we all missed you during this period. We finally met and you hurried back to the army."
"Grandma, I'm back again, aren't I? Don't worry, I believe you will be rehabilitated and come back in the future. Then our family can be together every day."
"Yeah, I believe that day will come. Come inside quickly and don't stand outside."
"Okay, grandma, Yanyan and I will bring you food and eat with you."
Xia Jinnian and Tang Shiyan walked into the house carrying a basket in their hands. Everyone stood up when they saw them.
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, how are you all doing recently?"
"I just came here yesterday to carry out a mission. I was too late to come see you because I had to prepare things yesterday."
"Yanyan and I cooked some food tonight and brought some over to see you. We'll have a meal together so that everyone can have some fun."
Several people answered in unison: "Jinnian, we are all fine. Miss Tang has taken good care of us while you were away."
"As long as you're safe and sound, that's all that matters. You're so lucky to have a partner like Tang Yatou. You should be nice to her and not be ungrateful."
"I understand. Yanyan is like an angel. It's my lucky star that she came to my side. I will definitely treat her well."
Tang Shiyan: "Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, Aunt Xia, Uncle Zhao, cousin, hurry up and eat. If you keep talking, the food will get cold."
"We can eat first and talk slowly later. Jinnian will be here for a while anyway, and we will come to see you every two days."
