"Wife, go take a shower first. I can prepare the water for you." Su Mushang walked out of the bedroom with Song Chucheng's pajamas.
"Okay! I'll go right away." After Song Chucheng finished showering, it was Su Mushang's turn to shower. When he finished showering, there were clothes available. Usually, Song Chucheng had already fallen asleep.
She knew that Su Mushang had something to say today, so she suppressed her sleepiness and waited for him to speak.
"Wife, I have to go on a mission the day after tomorrow, so I may be away for a while." Su Mushang hugged his wife tightly in his arms, his voice a little low when he said this.
Song Chucheng was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she thought of the man's profession and quickly felt relieved.
She knew his profession from the beginning, and that he went on missions regularly. She noticed this at the time, but her mood then was completely different from now. This should be a question of love or not!
After Su Mushang finished speaking, he kept looking at his wife. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought she was angry and immediately hugged her: "Wife, I'm sorry."
His voice was a little low. Song Chucheng looked up at him and saw that his face was full of guilt and helplessness. She reached out and held the man's face.
"Don't say that. As early as when I agreed to follow you back, I knew what I should bear. Just remember that the baby and I are still waiting for you at home!"
Hearing her words, the guilt on Su Mushang's face became even stronger, but no matter how reluctant they were, they both knew that as soon as the time came, he would have to return to the team.
The night before he left, Song Chucheng asked him to take another medicinal bath. Hearing that her elder brother had to go as well, she asked Su Mushang to call his elder brother over to take a bath as well.
It was in this instance that Song Jingcheng managed to save his life. What Song Chucheng didn't know was that in his previous life, Song Jingcheng and Ji Tingshen did not return from this mission.
…………
On the day of departure, Song Chucheng and her sister-in-law sent Su Mushang and Song Jingcheng to the gate of the yard.
Song Chucheng's eyes were slightly red, and he said seriously: "Brother, Mu Shang, we will wait for you to come back."
"Well! Big brother will definitely come back safely. If you have any problems during this period, please find your sister-in-law and Miaomiao." Song Jingcheng hugged Tiantian, touched his eldest sister's hair and instructed.
"Dabao, you are a man. When your father and uncle are not at home, you have to protect your aunt, mother, and sister." Song Jingcheng said to his son with a tense face.
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, Da Mao and Er Mao and I will protect Aunt Chengzi, Mom, and my sister." Dabao assured loudly.
Song Miaomiao: “…” What about me! Did you miss me again?
"Okay, you guys go, don't keep others waiting, I'm at home!" Xu Ningxue interrupted with a smile.
If she continued to talk about this, even she herself would be unable to hold back her tears.
Su Mushang hugged Song Chucheng, put on his hat, turned around and left.
Watching the two of them walking further and further away, Xu Ningxue patted Song Chucheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! Let's go inside! It's drizzling outside again, don't catch a cold."
They returned to the house. Although Tiantian was young, she was very good at reading adults' expressions. She took a candy from her pocket and gave it to Song Chucheng, and then gave another one to her mother.
Song Miaomiao: "..." Why didn't I have it again? This time she couldn't help it, and she said angrily: "Tiantian, why don't you give it to your aunt?"
Tiantian glanced at Song Miaomiao who was asking the question, and said with her little paws: "Little aunt doesn't have little uncle, so she's not unhappy. Mom has dad, and big aunt has big uncle. They are unhappy, so they need to eat candy to sweeten their mouths."
Song Miaomiao: “…” This logic was so clear that she couldn’t refute it at all!
Song Chucheng was originally in a bad mood, but after being interrupted by the aunt and niece, not only did her mood improve, but even Xu Ningxue started laughing.
Xu Ningxue patted Tiantian's head and said, "Go play with your brother Damao and the others! When the rain stops, we'll go to the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian took her little feet and ran out happily.
The three of them, the aunt and the sister-in-law, sat on the sofa in the living room, and Song Chucheng made a cup of tea for each of them.
Xu Ningxue sipped her tea and complained, "When your brother and I got married, did you know that? We had just finished our wedding banquet in the cafeteria that day, and early the next morning, your brother had to go on a mission. Military orders were like mountains, and no matter how reluctant I was, I had to help him pack everything up so that he could go on his mission without any worries.
Only then did I truly understand the feelings my mother had when she saw my father off. And did you know that your brother was gone for three months?
Song Chucheng heard her sister-in-law's caring words and understood her intentions: "Sister-in-law, I was just a little too obsessed at that moment. Now that I've calmed down, everything will be fine."
Xu Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had really recovered.
What they worry about is that when they are on a mission, their wives may be pregnant. If they are alone at home, they are sometimes afraid that the pregnant woman will have too many worries. So once a soldier is on a mission and his wife is left at home during the pregnant period, the service center of the family compound will often visit and comfort them, and occasionally give them some brown sugar or something.
"Let Miaomiao come and live with you during this period. I feel at ease knowing that Miaomiao will accompany you at night." Xu Ningxue felt that Song's mother's decision to leave her sister-in-law here was very clear.
In this way, with her during the day and Song Miaomiao at night, there is someone to accompany me at home, and time passes faster.
She was the same before. Whenever Song Jingcheng went on a mission, she would go to her parents' home. Otherwise, she would really have all kinds of thoughts when she was alone at home at night. But after she had Dabao and Tiantian, she no longer did that.
She could fully understand Song Chucheng's feelings at the moment, as she had experienced all of the same things.
"Okay! Sister-in-law, you don't have to go back to cook for the time being. Just eat here." Song Chucheng didn't want her sister-in-law to have to go back to cook for herself after she was busy here. It would be better for her to eat at her house.
Xu Ningxue is not someone who eats for free all day long. She often gets rice and flour from her, and Song Miaomiao often brings back some things.
There was a give-and-take relationship between them, and Song Chucheng was happy to get along with them. As for Song's father and mother from Songjia Village, they had mailed them two or three packages since they went there.
Song Chucheng thought about preparing some things over the next few days and also had to mail some things to the old couple.
"Miaomiao, I'll go get some cloth. We still have a lot of cotton and duck down left at home. You can measure the sizes and make a suit for Dad, Mom, and Dabao."
Song Miaomiao must know the old couple's size, so it would be most appropriate to let her measure it.
"Okay! I'll measure them." Song Miaomiao thought that after she got her salary, she would also make clothes for her sister and sister-in-law.
