When Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan arrived home, they saw that Chen Yitang had already prepared breakfast.
"Dad, do you have any uncooked tofu pudding left? Goudan wants to eat the one mixed with white sugar."
Chen Yitang immediately responded, "Yes, yes, I saved some for you! This tofu pudding is so tender that I didn't cook it all."
"After I finish this busy period, I will be free. Where do you want to go to play, grandma will take you out for a walk." Zeng Yike asked while eating tofu pudding.
"Yeah! That's great." Goudan cheered with a clay spoon in his hand.
"Sit still and don't move around on the chair. Don't cry if you fall!" Zeng Wenjuan warned Goudan as she watched him almost fall.
Goudan held Zhao Jianguo's hand and sat down, then continued to eat obediently. But his little mouth kept chattering: "My brother just said that there was an amusement park built here last year, I want to go and play."
"Okay, I'll take you out to play when grandma is on vacation. Grandma will buy you whatever you want." Zeng Yike has saved all her salary during this period! She had been looking for Zeng Wenjuan before, but she didn't save any money. Now that the child is found, she started saving money to buy some dowry for Zeng Wenjuan.
Chen Yitang looked at Zhao Jianguo and said, "Eat quickly. I'll help you check your legs later."
Zhao Jianguo heard what Chen Yitang said and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, thank you so much, Dad."
After breakfast, Goudan was instructed to go out and look for the guy he had just played with. Zeng Yike had something else to do in the army so she left. Zeng Wenjuan packed up the money and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After the dishes were washed and put back where they should be, Zeng Wenjuan dried her hands and went into the master bedroom. Seeing the sweat on Zhao Jianguo's forehead, but his expression was not as painful as before, Zeng Wenjuan felt relieved.
"Dad, how is Brother Jianguo's leg?" Zeng Wenjuan had made her own judgment, but she still wanted to hear Chen Yintang's.
"Jianguo's physical fitness is the best I've seen in my decades of medical practice. His physical fitness is much better than others. Now his legs have basically grown back, and he can slowly go for re-examinations. He will probably be able to walk slowly on his own before the New Year, according to Jianguo's physical condition." Chen Yintang directly affirmed Zeng Wenjuan's judgment.
After hearing what Chen Yitang said, Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo looked at each other and laughed happily. Finally, all the efforts during this period were not in vain.
"Ahem..." Chen Yitang coughed twice unnaturally, and Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo's eyes immediately separated. Chen Yitang then said, "I'll go back first, and I won't come over for lunch."
"Then Dad, give me those two pieces of tofu. I can have an extra meal at noon." With that, Zeng Wenjuan walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Yitang looked at Zeng Wenjuan's back as she left, and said to Zhao Jianguo with a dark face, "I have seen the relationship between you and Wenjuan. If you ever let her down, I will definitely not let you down. The same goes for her mother. Even though we are all gone, she still has many soldiers under her command who will stand up for Wenjuan in the future."
Zhao Jianguo knew that this was Chen Yitang's formal acceptance of him and regarded him as a member of his son-in-law's family. He immediately saluted and said, "I use my personality and my sacred mission to guarantee that I will never let down my wife Zeng Wenjuan in this life, the next life, or the next life."
"Don't go too far. It's enough that you treat her well in this life. Who can predict what will happen in the future?" Chen Yintang said with a stern face and left the master bedroom.
Zeng Wenjuan had just finished packing the tofu, so she handed the lunch box to Chen Yitang: "Dad, I've packed it for you. I'll make the rest into moldy tofu, and I'll get you two cans when it's ready."
"Okay, then I'll be leaving first. When Jianguo's leg injury heals, you can come to the hospital to propose to me. I've already asked for the spot for you. Just behave yourself then." Chen Yintang took the lunch box and said to Zeng Wenjuan.
Zeng Wenjuan nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand. Dad, thank you so much."
"Hey...there's no need to say thank you between father and daughter. You can't slack off at home and read more books. You still have to take exams before you can go to the hospital. Don't embarrass me." Chen Yintang warned earnestly.
Zeng Wenjuan smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry! Your daughter will definitely make you proud."
"Well, I trust my daughter. I'll leave first." Chen Yintang said with a smile. He believed in his daughter no matter what she did.
After sending Chen Yitang downstairs, Zeng Wenjuan went to the master bedroom and saw Zhao Jianguo lying on the bed and already asleep. Zeng Wenjuan didn't say anything and tiptoed out.
Coming to the study room next door, Zeng Wenjuan picked up the clothes she was making for Zhao Jianguo and continued to sew them. When the clothes were finished, Zeng Wenjuan lifted them up and looked at them, imagining how Zhao Jianguo would look when he put them on, and she smiled.
Just at this time Goudan came home. Seeing that there was no one at home, he shouted, "Dad, are you home?" During this period, Goudan and Zeng Wenjuan often spent time together, and their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds. Sometimes, Zeng Wenjuan would get jealous when she saw this.
Zeng Wenjuan came out of the study, put her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh, keep your voice down. Dad just had an injection and is still sleeping. Don't disturb him. Talk to Mom if you have something to say."
"Mom, can you give me fifty cents? I want to buy some firecrackers with my brother." Goudan smiled and stretched out his hand to ask for money.
When Zeng Wenjuan heard what Goudan said, she took out a cloth bag from her pocket, opened the bag, took out a bunch of Mao Zedong's banknotes, and then took out a fifty-cent bill from it.
She gave the money to Goudan and whispered to him, "You can't play with those powerful firecrackers. Only the ones with less power are fine. Otherwise, you can buy firecrackers for others to play with. You can watch from the side and must not get close to the firecrackers. If you get hurt by the explosion, you will bleed."
"I know, Mom. I won't let myself get hurt. I'll just watch my brothers and sisters play. They used their money to buy me food, so they can't play with firecrackers. I didn't want to see them sad, so I came back to get the money." Goudan took the money handed to him by Zeng Wenjuan and explained to her.
Zeng Wenjuan touched Goudan's head. She was very pleased that her son could play with such a good friend: "Goudan did the right thing. Friends should reciprocate. If someone treats you to a meal, you should also treat them to a meal."
"Then I'm going out to play, Mom." Goudan waved at Zeng Wenjuan while holding the money.
"Wait a moment, mom will measure your size. I'll make new clothes for you to wear during the New Year." Zeng Wenjuan saw Goudan was about to leave, then suddenly remembered this and reached out to stop Goudan.
