Chapter 399 Another Loud Sound

Jiang Rou returned home and the lights were on in the house.

Zhao Guifen looked after the three children for her and left only after seeing Jiang Rou return.

Jiang Rou thanked him and sent Zhao Guifen back.

"Sister Guifen, thank you for your help tonight. I will take you home."

"What's the point of going back? Now our two families are just like one family."

Zhao Guifen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

When he thought of the collapsed wall, his two families were indeed connected.

But Zhao Guifen still asked Jiang Rou to accompany her out of the house.

After some distance from the children.

Zhao Guifen asked in a low voice, holding her throat.

"Sister Rou, is Captain He in trouble?"

After all, Zhao Guifen was an old military wife. When she saw Song Qingqian's expression in the afternoon, she had some vague guesses in her heart.

She stared at Jiang Rou, and then saw Jiang Rou nodded slightly.

Zhao Guifen immediately took a breath of cool air.

In this late summer night, it makes people feel cold behind their backs.

"What the hell is going on... How did Captain He get into this situation... Is he injured? Is it serious? What's the situation?"

Facing Zhao Guifen's concerned questioning, Jiang Rou felt something stuck in her throat and was unable to speak.

Seeing Jiang Rou's silence, Zhao Guifen could only guess the worse.

"It's not an injury, could it be...?..."

"No." Jiang Rou denied it flatly, but she had to say, "I'm not sure yet."

Zhao Guifen was stunned for a moment, his mouth wide open in surprise.

uncertain?

How can life or death be uncertain?

She wanted to ask urgently, but thought of Song Qingqian's absent-mindedness in the afternoon, and then saw the paleness and fatigue on Jiang Rou's face.

She eventually swallowed those questions.

"It's okay, it will be okay. God has eyes, he will never take away a good person. Sister Rou, don't think too much, eat when you need to eat, sleep when you need to sleep. If you need any help, just come to me, don't be shy."

"I will, Sister Guifen."

The two exchanged a few brief sentences.

Zhao Guifen returned to her house muttering to herself all the way.

Jiang Rou sighed.

She adjusted her thoughts, went back into the house and walked into the small room.

The bed originally used by Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua to sleep, now there is another person named Liu Gensheng.

Three half-grown children squeezed into a small bed, leaning on each other.

Zhao Guifen said that the three children all ate two bowls of rice in the evening. After eating, they played in the yard for a while and fell asleep just half an hour ago.

With the appearance of Jiang Rou.

The child who was originally asleep slowly opened his eyes.

The first one to wake up was Zhou Xiaochuan, followed by Liu Gensheng.

The two boys' eyes were clear and there was no trace of difficulty.

This is no sleep at all.

Only Zhou Xiaohua had enough to eat and drink, and had Zhou Xiaochuan's company. Even though she was thinking about Jiang Rou, she could eat when she was supposed to and sleep when she was supposed to.

The most innocent, the least worried, and the happiest look.

Zhou Xiaochuan was sleeping in the middle, grabbing the quilt and shouting softly.

"mother."

"Well, mom is back, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Jiang Rou asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xiaochuan's dark eyes moved and he pointed to a small bowl on the desk beside him and spoke.

"Mom, chicken drumstick."

In the small white porcelain bowl, there is a chicken leg that is delicious and fragrant.

That was the clay pot chicken made by Zhao Guifen. Zhou Xiaochuan didn't eat his chicken leg, but left it for Jiang Rou.

He was worried that Jiang Rou would be hungry because she didn't have dinner.

At this moment, a warm current flowed through Jiang Rou's heavy heart.

"Thank you, Xiaochuan, for leaving the chicken drumstick for me. I will eat it later."

Zhou Xiaochuan rested his chin on the quilt, nodded, and said nothing.

Liu Gensheng watched the interaction between mother and son, his eyes moving back and forth between Zhou Xiaochuan and Jiang Rou, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

That gentle voice then called his name.

"Gensheng, what about you? Why aren't you asleep?"

Facing the strange yet gentle words, Liu Gensheng lay in the soft quilt, feeling stiff and at a loss.

He didn't know how to answer Jiang Rou's question.

Everything that happened these days was so strange.

Liu Gensheng pursed his lips, with the corners of his mouth tightly tightened.

Right after.

There was a warm touch on his face.

Jiang Rou was worried that Liu Gensheng's old illness would relapse, so she touched his forehead and then his face.

Soft fingertips, gentle touch.

"My temperature is normal, and I don't have a fever...Are you not used to it?"

Jiang Rou guessed.

Liu Gensheng's face felt slightly hot, especially where Jiang Rou touched.

It's like putting your face close to a fire on a cold winter day.

Burning hot.

Liu Gensheng nodded and said "hmm".

It was the first time he lay on such a soft bed instead of rough and abrasive straw.

For the first time, he was covered with a fluffy, soft quilt instead of hard, stained and smelly cotton.

Everything is different from before.

Jiang Rou noticed the child's nervousness and comforted him.

"It's okay. Everyone gets used to a strange environment. If you can't sleep, just talk to Xiaochuan. When you feel sleepy, you can go back to sleep."

Liu Gensheng looked at Jiang Rou cautiously and asked nervously.

"…Is this okay?"

Staying up late sounds like something bad kids do.

Jiang Rou spoke softly to Liu Gensheng with the same expression as she was talking to Zhou Xiaochuan.

"Sure. I'll wake you up a little later tomorrow morning so you can sleep a little longer and catch up on your sleep. It's just once in a while, it's not a big deal. What do you want for breakfast tomorrow morning? Does Gensheng like to eat bread? How about we have hand-pulled bread tomorrow morning?"

"You can also add eggs to the pancakes. It's similar to the pancakes you've had before. They're both delicious. I'll make them for you when the time comes."

"Is one enough? Xiaohua can eat two in one go, Xiaochuan can eat three, and Gensheng...can he eat three too? If you eat more, you will grow faster, taller, and have a healthy body."

The voice as gentle as water no longer exists in Liu Gensheng's dreams.

It was right next to his ears, and he felt warm all over, and closed his eyes unconsciously.

In his dream, he seemed to smell the fragrance of shouzhubing.

Very fragrant.

He eats a lot and grows fast, and he wants to become an adult sooner.

…

The next morning.

Jiang Rou got up very early and started kneading the dough for scallion pancakes before dawn.

She promised things to the children and hoped to do it as much as possible.

The pancake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, topped with a golden egg, sprinkled with a layer of emerald green onions, and rolled with a crispy lettuce leaf.

The rich fragrance began to permeate from early morning.

The reason why Jiang Rou got up so early to make shouzhangbing was that she was in a hurry to go out.

This night has passed. I don’t know how Zhou Chongshan’s rescue was going, nor do I know how Song Qingqian was doing after spending the night alone.

Jiang Rou took two prepared scallion pancakes, put them in a basket, and covered them with a piece of cotton cloth to keep them warm.

After preparing these.

Jiang Rou glanced at the three children who were still sleeping in the small room, then walked out of the house with light steps.

As soon as I stepped out of the house.

Suddenly.

Boom—Boom—

There was a loud noise.
