"Mom is telling you, you can't touch that thing, or it will explode with a 'bang' and you'll bleed all over, you know?"
"Here, here, here, it's going to bleed!"
Fearing she might think he was joking, Jian Dan pointed to almost her entire body.
"These places are all broken and painful!"
"Do you dare to do it again?"
For a child, bleeding is a very frightening sight. If you make a simple, fierce expression, you can easily scare the little one into tears in no time.
When Commander Lin and Qin Qinghuai rushed over with their men, they heard his little one crying his heart out. His wife didn't comfort him; instead, she stood to the side, and apparently, she was even adding fuel to the fire and scaring him.
It's like an old man scaring a child with a big bad wolf.
Commander Lin was completely stunned.
"Wait, what's going on?"
Qin Qinghuai knew his wife well after all. Thinking back to the note, his expression immediately darkened.
"Could this thing be related to the baby?"
"What?"
They all have children, and upon hearing this, they were outraged.
"Oh my god!"
In his haste, Commander Lin blurted out a string of rural slang, not caring about anything else. He rushed over to Jian Dan, glanced at the crying child, and...
"Sister-in-law, what you're saying isn't true, is it?"
He paused briefly, then turned and pointed to the rusty black iron egg not far away.
"I'm not sure, but it's definitely not good stuff. You guys just came like this? Without any protection at all?"
Commander Lin shook his head with a wry smile, waved for the people behind him to go over, and then led the way.
Qin Qinghuai didn't follow. He first quietly inquired about the details before squatting down to pick up the child. The moment the baby was in his warm embrace, he cried even harder.
"Wow! Daddy! Don't hurt! Wow!"
Despite her anger, she was also heartbroken for her own child. Simple's nose even felt a little sore; she hadn't cried like this since three months had passed.
His wife had been putting on a stern face for so long, and Qin Qinghuai couldn't afford to sabotage her at the last minute.
"Come on, let Daddy wipe you clean. Tell Daddy what you did? Why is Mommy angry?"
The little one is only one year old, and she can't possibly understand anything too complicated. But she's a smart child, and she probably figured out what she did, which is why her mother was angry and sobbing.
"There's a treasure over there. I took my mom to find the treasure, but she got angry and ran away."
The little one pouted, remembering his mother's fierce expression earlier, and was about to start crying again.
Qin Qinghuai didn't rush to coax him; instead, he patiently guided him.
"Do you know what it is?"
He sighed simply, letting the father and son talk, and turned to look at Commander Lin's team.
The small hole had been completely dug open, and from here she could clearly see that, besides the black iron ball he had dug out, there were several others lying side by side on the ground, some of similar size and shape, and one oval-shaped, which she didn't know how many years old they were.
These people were working enthusiastically when another group of runners came running from the direction of the camp. Clearly, Commander Lin had mobilized troops again.
However, whether it was Commander Lin, Battalion Commander Xu who was coming towards them, or the person digging the pit, their expressions were all very solemn.
She sighed simply. This was something she couldn't get involved in. Turning to look beside her, she saw that the man had already soothed the little one, who was nestled in his arms, obediently agreeing.
"Be good, don't touch things randomly, and if you have any problems, find an adult, find your mother, or find your father."
Qin Qinghuai tapped his little nose.
"Remember this: after Yan Yan says it, can you do it yourself?"
"able!"
He simply pursed his lips.
"Don't listen to her, it's going in one ear and out the other."
“Hey, this takes time. We keep reminding her to get into the habit, but we can’t keep her under our thumb or follow her around forever. With our family and our environment, it’s impossible for a child to be truly carefree.”
He felt guilty about this topic, but Jian Dan didn't care. She didn't want to raise a naive and innocent daughter either. However,
"I'll take the child home first. You should go and check those things first. This is just one place, but could it be the only one?"
Qin Qinghuai was also worried about this, so he handed the little one over and patted him.
"You all go back first. I'll go check and tell my family and children not to leave the compound for now. The screening will take time, and I estimate that a curfew will definitely be imposed soon, so we need to be careful."
"OK,"
She glanced back, then, without further ado, picked up the child and headed back.
“Then let’s go back now. I’ll go talk to Wei Kangzhan first and tell him about the work schedule here, so that the workers won’t be anxious later.”
I'll also go and tell the schools and kindergartens,"
She often walks around the family compound with her child. Whenever something happens in the compound, Jian Dan, who is nominally in charge, is no longer as indifferent as before. She even jokes that she has become just like them.
It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's somewhat different from the image of herself that Jian Dan has in mind, and she's becoming more and more down-to-earth.
Qin Qinghuai thought it was good this way, feeling that this kind of wife was more real.
"Okay, you can decide on this side. Sometimes you're more clear-headed and wiser than I am."
"Alright, alright, you're not really thinking about this anymore. Go on with your work. Don't worry about things at home. I'll talk to Mom and Dad later. You'll probably be very busy again. Just be careful."
It's close by, simple, and there's not much to explain. If anything happens, at least I can find someone.
“Come on, girl, let’s go home and find Grandma.”
After crying, the little one was still a bit listless, leaning on Jian Dan's shoulder, his voice still muffled and a little hoarse, but much better than before. Jian Dan didn't bring up the matter again. Since Qin Qinghuai had already reprimanded him, she wouldn't nag any further, lest she make the child resentful.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Are you tired of crying? What do you want to eat? Let's eat at home, okay?"
"Okay, I want to eat peaches."
"Okay, have a peach."
"I want more, Youyou."
"You little glutton, how about Mommy makes you a steamed egg custard with meat in it?"
"good."
......
As Qin Qinghuai had said, even though it wasn't time for school or work to end, the entire camp and family compound were under martial law, and everyone's movement was restricted. After a brief communication with the relevant personnel, there wasn't much panic, but the atmosphere was definitely tense.
When the children came home from school in the evening, they all had long faces.
Cheng Anxin is meticulous and asks simple questions as soon as they meet.
"Sis, has something happened?"
