Having grown up in this kind of environment himself, and with his keen perception, Cheng An...
"Sis, what's going on outside? Have they found any dangerous items?"
"You, you,"
Although Jian Dan had long been aware of Cheng An's intelligence, she was still quite surprised at this moment.
"Your mind is so childish. Just think like a child. Don't worry about so many things. Adults will take care of those matters."
Not denying it was tantamount to confirming it. Cheng An's brows remained furrowed. With Cheng Chao and Jian Liye not back and Qin Qinghuai not home, he felt he was the capable man of the family and couldn't possibly be ignorant of everything.
"Sis, are you really okay? Your husband's not home. If anything happens, you need to tell us."
Cheng Rui nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, sis, if something's wrong, just tell us. Don't keep it to yourself."
The old lady laughed so hard she couldn't stop, slapping her thighs.
"Oh my, look at them! They're small but have big ambitions! Daughter-in-law, your two little brothers know how to take care of their older sister. They've grown up and are now your support!"
"Grandma Qin, please don't be nitpicky. It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that my brother-in-law isn't home, and neither are Uncle Li and Brother Chao. Even if we were home, we'd still be worried about my sister and the children. We'll go back as soon as my brother-in-law comes back."
Cheng Anxin is sensitive and didn't want her sister to have a difficult time in her husband's family, so she quickly explained.
Cheng Rui wouldn't think that much; he's still very carefree.
“Grandma Qin, my dad said that the Cheng family and the Qin family have been friends for many years. Although we are told to address each other differently, whether you look at it from my dad's side or my sister's side, we are all juniors and not outsiders. If you and Grandpa Qin need any errands, please don't be shy and don't hesitate to ask us to help. We may not have much else, but we have plenty of strength. Please don't be polite.”
Putting everything else aside, Cheng Rui's outgoing personality quickly makes it easy for people to connect with him.
"When there's work to be done, treat us like you would Qin Jing. We promise to be there without hesitation, whenever you call."
Finally, he playfully gave a bow, which amused the old man and woman greatly.
“Oh, you two, don’t think so much. Your dad is right. The Cheng family and the Qin family have always been close, and now they’re practically family. Your sister is the Qin family’s daughter-in-law, but she’s still your sister. It’s only right that you care about her. If you really don’t care, then this old woman will be worried.”
The old lady's words were frank and open, and the two children were finally relieved.
"Grandma Qin, my dad said that you were quite awe-inspiring when you were young, weren't you?"
Cheng An covered his head.
"Brother, she is a heroic and valiant woman."
Cheng Rui scratched his head.
"Really? Did I use the wrong word?"
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh, and the old man's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"You're right, it really is majestic. Otherwise, how could I have fallen in love with it at first sight?"
This is just a sudden and unexpected dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Cheng Rui is still showing his support.
"See, see, I wasn't wrong, was I?"
In my mind, Grandma Qin is like a majestic and awe-inspiring general—so majestic and handsome!
Cheng An sighed again, but this time he didn't say anything. His brother's personality seemed to be getting more and more unconventional.
The laughter at home temporarily dispelled the tense atmosphere, but the atmosphere outside was far from pleasant.
After half a day and a whole night of tireless digging, nearly one hundred were unearthed, ten of which were oval-shaped and identified by Tang Sumei, who was urgently called in, as poison gas bombs.
Normally, this falls under the purview of chemists, but there's a talent shortage right now, and it's hard to find someone with the right skills in the short term. Tang Sumei was appointed to this position in a time of crisis. She is a chief physician, and although she majored in traditional Chinese medicine, she also has a deep understanding of Western medicine. It's not surprising that she could identify it as a poison gas bomb. However, the next step is beyond her scope.
Everyone has their own area of expertise, and since it wasn't really her area of expertise, she didn't intend to overdo it.
She came to see the children, but with the martial law in effect and her new experience with dangerous materials, she didn't want to bring the risk to the children, so she simply stayed on the perimeter to help treat the wounded.
Qin Qinghuai was busy for three days and did not return.
Not only him, but everyone who went with him this time did not return. The family compound was abuzz with discussion. However, Jian Dan was no longer the political commissar's wife who knew how to shirk her duties when she first arrived. As soon as she heard the rumors, she dealt with them decisively.
Her methods were crude and simple: if the woman's family members gossiped, she would record and report it directly; if the family members were difficult to deal with, she would directly deal with the men in the family. This was her consistent principle: if the family members were not managed well, the men would bear an unshirkable responsibility.
Whether it's a wife or parents, if someone can establish themselves in this military camp and have their family members accompany them, it proves that they are not ignorant. Since they understand, then taking responsibility is their duty.
Even if you really don't understand, the families of military personnel have been receiving regular political and ideological education classes over the past few years. As long as they listen, they should have the most basic awareness.
This is a special period, and the threshold for accompanying military personnel is very low. They don't have high requirements for family members, but after all, it is a military region and a border area, so of course there is organizational discipline. They are all veterans, who can not understand this?
If the family causes trouble and the man is punished, then it's not unjust.
"What, didn't I make myself clear? Didn't I explain the rules of the family compound clearly? Or did the ideological and political education class not go into enough detail?"
These basic rules have been repeated more than three times since the first day we arrived, haven't they?
