"Yes, Jinnian, since you haven't returned to the army yet, I'll buy you some delicious food to replenish your body. Otherwise, it will take a long time for you to eat such delicious food after you return to the army."
"Yan Yan, it's great to have you. What should I do if I don't want to go back?"
"Haha, even if you're reluctant, you have to go back. You're a soldier, and you can come back to see me if you miss me."
"Then you can appear in front of me openly, instead of hiding at home like you are now."
"Yan Yan, I just have something to tell you. I've been here for so long, and my body has recovered."
"My skills have improved a lot, and I want to go back to the army soon. I can't stay here and do nothing."
"Wait until I get back and sort things out and explain the situation to my boss, then I'll come see you, okay?"
"Jinnian, if you feel that your body has recovered and your skills are much better than before, then you can go back to the army if you want."
"Go back and accept the army's arrangements to defend the country. This is what you should do as a soldier."
"As for me, come over when you have time, and I'll make you something delicious."
"Yeah, when the time comes I'll apply to let you join the army with me."
"Well, we'll talk about it later. Let's hurry up and make dinner. It's been a while since we've been to the cowshed. Let's make a little extra tonight and send some over to them later."
"Okay, Yanyan."
Tang Shiyan thought that Xia Jinnian might be returning to the army in the next two days, so she had to secretly take him to the cowshed to check on him tonight.
Confirm whether the family in the cowshed is his family. Is it just a coincidence that they all have the surname Xia? I'll find out after taking him there.
If that's the case, that would be even better. If not, it doesn't matter. Given the character of Grandma Xia and her family, they wouldn't go around saying that there's a man living in Tang Shiyan's house.
Xia Jinnian didn't know at this time that he would be able to meet his family soon, nor did he know what his expression would be when he saw them, whether it would be excitement or shock.
"Jinnian, after dinner, come with me to the bullpen. It's dark outside at night anyway, and no one will find you."
"The people in the bullpen are very honest and kind. They're not the kind to gossip or talk nonsense. They won't tell anyone about you living with me."
"Otherwise I wouldn't be so nice to them."
"Okay, Yanyan, actually I've wanted to go with you to see the people in the bullpen for a long time, to see how their lives and living conditions are like."
"My family was also sent down, but I don't know where they were sent to, or whether their living conditions were good."
"Jinnian, don't worry. I believe you will see your family soon. As for living and living arrangements."
"You should also know that these days, no matter where you're sent down, it's all the same. Some can eat their fill, while others can't even afford porridge."
"Don't think too much about it. As long as they are safe and healthy, it's only a matter of time before you meet again."
"Okay, Yanyan."
The two of them cooked while chatting, and the meal was ready in a short while.
Every time they prepared a meal, they would first fill Xiaotian's bowl with food, and then they would start eating.
Xiaotian: "Sister, brother-in-law, you guys give me another big bowl. Don't tell me that I'm greedy or fat when the time comes."
"Xiaotian, how could that be? You've been sparring with me every day during this period, and it's been very hard. Thank you for giving me the martial arts points, which allowed me to fly with sword steps so quickly."
"Hey, aren't you my brother-in-law? Besides, I teach you these so that you can kill more enemies on the battlefield."
"To protect our country, with your strength, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't hurt you."
"Xiaotian is indeed the best and smartest one."
"Jinnian, if you praise it like that, its tail will be up in the air in a moment."
"snort."
"Sister, do you know how to speak? Not only do you not praise me, but you also don't let my brother-in-law praise me. Be careful or I will ignore you in the future."
"Okay, Xiaotian is the best and smartest, okay?"
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"Okay, after you finish your meal, stay home and take care of the house. Your brother-in-law and I will go to the cowshed and be back soon."
"Sister, I understand."
Tang Shiyan took out the basket that had been used to hold the food and started packing it, while Xia Jinnian began to clean up and wash the dishes.
She looked at the time and saw that everyone was having dinner at home. It was dark outside and no one was out, so she took Xia Jinnian out of the house and walked towards the cowshed.
Arriving outside the cowshed, Tang Shiyan knocked on the door and called softly, "Grandma Xia, it's me. Open the door quickly."
When Lin Lihong heard Tang Shiyan's voice, she immediately stood up and walked over to open the door. Tang Shiyan immediately pulled Xia Jinnian into the house.
Because it was night, Lin Lihong didn't see clearly who Tang Shiyan pulled in. It was only after she closed the door and turned around that she saw clearly that it was her eldest grandson Xia Jinnian.
Although the oil lamp in the room was not very bright at night, Xia Jinnian could immediately see that the elderly lady in front of him was his biological grandmother.
"Grandma, it's really you. I'm not dreaming."
"Jinnian, my eldest grandson, we finally get to see you."
When Xia Jianjun, his three sons, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and eldest grandson heard someone calling grandma and the word Jinnian, they all stood up and walked over.
When I got closer, I saw that they were indeed their eldest grandson, son, and nephew. I thought I had misheard.
When they saw that it was Jinnian, they were so happy that they shed tears. Xia Jinnian was also very excited to see them and shed tears.
Tang Shiyan was also surprised standing aside. It seemed that her previous guess was correct. Xia Jinnian's surname was Xia, and the man in the cowshed also had the surname Xia. She didn't expect that they were actually a family.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, uncle and aunt, younger uncle and aunt, aunt and uncle, older cousin, how have you been these past few years? I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"Jinnian, it really is you. We thought we just misheard. How are you? Are you doing well?"
"And how did you get here, and you're with Tang girl?"
"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, My cousin, I was accidentally injured in the mountains while on a mission."
"Luckily I met Yanyan who rescued me and I live in her house. Even now, no one in the village knows I live there."
"She's my girlfriend now. I told her everything about our family situation. Yanyan had no objections and agreed to be my girlfriend."
"I came out with her quietly tonight. She said she wanted to bring me to see you guys."
"I didn't expect to see my family. I'm so happy to see you here."
