Cheng Chao felt an overwhelming sense of joy, and his whole body felt lightheaded.
He's been living with his uncle here all these years. The army is full of rough, tough guys, and his aunt is the only woman at home. She lives far away and can't take care of him much. This is the first time someone has ever made clothes specifically for him.
"Really, it's for me?"
"Of course,"
I immediately sensed that something was off about this person; could he have been provoked? I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"What's wrong, bro? Are you alright? It's just two pieces of clothing, it can't be that serious, right?"
She had prepared other things for him, but considering his financial situation, perhaps we should wait a little longer?
Cheng Chao had no idea what he had almost missed.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy, I'm happy."
He neatly set the clothes aside, turned back with a serious expression, sent the child away, and then spoke.
"I was planning to pick up my child today, but,"
The topic shifted, and the tone became serious.
“However, Uncle Jian has received a mission and is leaving this afternoon. So, the child will have to stay with you for now. This is the ticket he asked me to bring. This bag contains the child's food. I didn't buy much because I was in a hurry. You can buy more at the commune when the child runs out.”
The more she listened, the more something seemed off, so she quickly interrupted.
"Bro, what do you mean? Is this a long-term mission or something? Do you really need to explain things in such detail?"
Seeing Cheng Chao's expression, Jian Dan's heart skipped a beat.
"Wait, you're not going to go too, are you?"
Cheng Chao shifted his gaze.
"Um,"
Jian Dan wasn't a child who couldn't be left alone, so she didn't cry and make a fuss. On the contrary, she felt a little more at ease knowing that Cheng Chao had informed her before leaving.
However, going on a mission means danger; your life is hanging by a thread.
She had experienced these things deeply in her past life. Every time she went out, she had to prepare sufficient equipment. Why? Who doesn't want to come back safe and sound?
When are you leaving?
"...in a little while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the east room.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something,"
Cheng Chao watched as she hurriedly left and then hurriedly returned, still smiling.
"Slow down, what's the rush?"
He simply shoved a small bundle into his hands and pointed to the east room.
"Here you go, go change into this. Don't ask any questions, but you can't take it off. I just hope you can come back safely."
Cheng Chao paused for a moment, then solemnly accepted it and nodded.
"I will. I will definitely come back safely. I'm worried about leaving you alone."
After lingering in the east room for a while, Cheng Chao didn't ask many questions when he came out, but his eyes were a little red. He picked up his bag and said goodbye to Jian Dan, even patting her head as he left.
"Don't worry, I'll be back safe and sound."
As she watched his figure walk further and further away, Jian Dan felt a little confused.
When Cheng Chao mentioned he was going on a mission, she could clearly sense his nervousness and guessed that this mission might be more dangerous than usual. That's why he didn't hesitate to reveal his trump card and took out a bulletproof vest.
This is a later-generation base that has made many improvements to the ordinary bulletproof vest. Not only has the bulletproof effect been upgraded, but the shock resistance has also been improved a lot. Now, unless it is a heavy weapon, it provides almost 100% protection against ordinary bullets and knives and daggers.
Jian Dan never considered herself a good person; she was selfish.
She hesitated for a moment when she took it out. It wasn't that she was reluctant to give it to Cheng Chao, but even though she knew there were two people on the mission, she only took one.
Cheng Chao is somewhat understandable. Su Ri'an doesn't know what her secret is, but she hasn't harmed the country or anyone else, so Cheng Chao will help her cover for her. As for others, she can't possibly expose the secret anymore.
They all have sharp eyes. Something may seem insignificant, but in their eyes it's definitely suspicious, and in the end, it will cause trouble for you, trouble that you can't explain.
Call her selfish or cold-hearted, Cheng Chao is her bottom line. She didn't even give that to Cheng Zhuo and Cheng Jin, so naturally she wouldn't give it to anyone else.
Cheng Chao appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He had sensed something was wrong as soon as he put the clothes on, and he knew that his sister wouldn't give him such clothes for no reason at this critical moment. On a whim, he took the dagger he carried with him and tried it out. Sure enough, he was unharmed.
His first thought was to ask her where she got this good stuff, but he quickly came to his senses, thinking about the tomatoes in the car, the many snacks he'd never seen before, the time he'd deliberately created for her to be alone at the Northwest market, the look in her eyes later, and that rare anti-inflammatory medicine...
How could he forget that his sister has secrets? So, it's normal for her to take out this thing, right?
Despite his thoughts, he still wore the clothes close to his skin, secretly thinking that he could no longer bathe with them, and that his sister's secret must never be known to anyone else.
Compared to this, the anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicines in the bundle don't seem so out of place.
The children went out for a run and came back to find that...
Where is Brother Cheng Chao?
Let's go!
The little girl patted her chest,
"I thought they were here to pick me up."
Seeing her relieved expression, Jian Dan wanted to tease her.
"You want to leave? Then I'll go and call him back?"
He pretended to get out of bed, and the little girl believed him, so she grabbed Jian Dan's leg in fright.
"No, sister!"
The two boys underground laughed heartily.
"I was just teasing you,"
Simplicity brings laughter.
"You really don't want to go back?"
Jian Xin then pouted and said, "I don't want to leave, I don't want to go, sister."
"Okay, okay, stay home for a few more days, alright?"
Cheng Rui made a face behind him.
"Hehe, you're only acting all cute because your older brother's gone,"
"Hmph, that's not true!"
Well, the moment of emotion lasted only three seconds before the two started arguing again.
Cheng An shook his head helplessly; his brother was getting worse as he got older.
It got colder day by day, and even our breath turned into frost. Jian Dan also put cotton-padded jackets on the children.
During the day, they weren't restrained and ran around wildly with the village children. The village children had never seen the outside world, and hearing them talk about those things was very novel to them. Children can play together if they have common interests.
In addition, there was also little Jianxin, and in just a few days, she had become like brothers with the children in the village.
Sure enough, right after we finished eating, a child came over and called out to us.
"We need to go up the mountain to collect firewood, do you want to come?"
The children put down their bowls and tried to run away, but after a quick tap on the table...
"Wait, wait, how many of you kids are there? You can't go in here!"
The children hadn't left yet when Tan Yajun and several other female educated youths arrived.
"Shall we go gather firewood?"
