Grandpa Du, Du Haojun and Tang Jie were shocked by what Du's father said.
Grandpa Du quickly turned to look at Du Yi, his eyes sparkling with tears, wanting to confirm again: "Yiyi, is what your father said true?"
Du Yi nodded heavily.
"I really don't need to take the medicine now. I haven't received any clear notification from the army about my second-class merit."
Grandpa Du smiled like a child. He clapped his hands happily and said, "It's good enough that I don't need to take medicine and I'm healthy. Those military merits are nothing."
His little granddaughter has been dependent on medicine since she was young, and her life has been very hard. This matter has always weighed on his mind. Now that she is suddenly getting better, it feels like a dream.
Du Haojun clenched the chopsticks tightly, breathing heavily, his heart filled with uncontrollable excitement.
His sister's illness came very suddenly. His mother said that his sister was very healthy when she was born, but three months later she started to have various problems with her body, the worst of which was her heart.
From then on, my parents have been running around for my sister's illness, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past twenty years.
Now he is suddenly fine, which is really a great thing and the whole family can rest assured.
"Little sister, how come you suddenly feel better?"
Du Haojun asked.
Over the years, my parents took my sister to various places across the country for medical treatment, and the doctors said that it was a congenital disease that could not be cured.
How come this suddenly got better?
Father Du paused holding the chopsticks. Speaking of this, he had to mention the night when he was kidnapped by drug dealers.
Seeing his father, eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law all looking anxious, he gritted his teeth and said it.
"Um...Yiyi was on a mission a few days ago. She went to the border."
"border?!"
Grandpa Du was surprised because border missions are very dangerous.
He turned to look at his little granddaughter who was eating with great appetite, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Yiyi, is it the army that asked you to go on the border mission?"
Grandpa Du asked with some anger.
Du Yi smiled sweetly and said evasively, "I've never been to the border, but I want to go and take a look."
Grandpa Du glared at Du Yi fiercely and said, "There won't be a next time. Your elder brother and the others can go, but you can't."
Du Haojun, who was excited, suddenly became less excited.
Grandpa, am I the cabbage in the field?
Father Du saw that his daughter had already dispersed some of his father's anger, so he immediately took over the conversation and said, "I think it's the right thing to go this time." His eyes were shining with excitement, and he glanced at everyone: "Do you know what happened to Yiyi at the border?"
He was keeping it a secret again.
“Pah…”
Grandpa Du put the chopsticks heavily on the table and said, "You bastard, if you keep keeping me in suspense, I will punish you according to the family rules."
Father Du shook his head and said, "Even if I tell you, you won't believe it."
"Yiyi's mission at the border this time was to catch a drug trafficker leader. When Yiyi arrived that night, she deliberately came out and was caught by the drug traffickers and taken back to the den. The drug traffickers injected Yiyi with anesthetics, and then the next morning when Yiyi woke up, she encountered the drug traffickers who caught her fighting with another group of drug traffickers. What did you do?"
He seemed to be performing a double act, asking and answering his own questions.
"The two drug dealers fought each other, and no one on either side was left alive. Only the drug dealer leader survived, and was successfully captured by our Yiyi."
Father Du clapped his hands and said, "Yiyi recovered naturally because of the anesthetic injection, and she also completed the mission. Should she go this time?"
“Pah…”
Grandpa Du raised his hand and slapped Du's father on the back through Du Yi.
"Should I go?!"
Grandpa Du repeated these two words with gritted teeth.
He was so angry that he pointed at Mr. Du and said, "Your daughter is in a dangerous situation and I see you are still very happy. Is Yiyi your biological daughter?"
"She is seeing the good side now, but these two things are the most impossible of all. You only see the good side. What if... what if..."
He just cut it off after he finished speaking.
He doesn't want any unexpected events to happen.
Father Du said with a bitter face: "Dad, isn't it all good things now that I said this."
Grandpa Du looked at the dishes on the table and knew that they were made by Du's father. He asked knowingly, "Who made the dishes today?"
Father Du replied weakly, "I."
Grandpa Du finally found his next legitimate reason to get angry at Du's father.
"We have such a great occasion at home today, why did you only cook four or five dishes?"
Father Du: "I..."
“Puff…”
Du Haojun couldn't help laughing.
Du's mother acted as if she didn't see anything and was only busy picking up food for her daughter. This kind of thing was very normal in their family.
Besides, she only has her daughter in her eyes now, and it doesn’t matter whether her husband is upset or not.
Tang Jie also pretended not to see her father-in-law's bitter expression and picked up some food for Du Changle. However, the corners of her mouth that turned up when she turned her face away betrayed her mood at the moment.
"Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Du Changle asked in confusion.
Tang Jie: “…”
You are really my good son.
Du Haojun took a bottle of wine next to him and rescued his wife in time.
"Today is a big happy occasion, Grandpa, Dad, I'll have a couple of drinks with you."
When they saw the wine, the expressions of both the father and the son changed.
Father Du looked at his parents and had to get permission from his wife before he could drink.
Mother Du smiled and nodded, "Drink as much as you want today, as long as it doesn't delay taking Yiyi for a checkup tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Father Du rubbed his hands, took the wine glass and motioned to his son to pour the wine.
As soon as he started drinking, Grandpa Du's temper improved a lot.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren drank one cup after another.
Mother Du sighed: "Xiao Fei, it would be nice if you were here today."
(Xiao Fei is the nickname of my second brother Du Yifei.)
When Du Yifei was mentioned, everyone tacitly kept silent.
Du's mother was the only one in the family who didn't know that Du Yifei worked in a special department of the army and took on the most dangerous missions, putting his life in danger every time he went on a mission.
Du Yi was keenly aware of the abnormality of these people in the family. Grandpa Du pretended to be very happy and clinked glasses with Du's father and Du Haojun, as if he didn't hear what he said.
But she didn't take it to heart.
Du's mother didn't notice the unusual expressions of the men in the house, and she continued to pick up food for Du.
At dinner that night, Du Yi didn't pick up any food. All the food was put into the bowls by his parents and sister-in-law.
Just this one thing made Du Yi feel warm in his heart.
After dinner, Du's mother boiled some bath water for Du Yi and asked Du Yi to take a comfortable bath.
Then she went to Du Yi's room upstairs and replaced all the bed sheets and quilt covers with new ones, and hung the clothes she had bought for Du Yi recently on the closet.
When Du Yi came out of the shower, she saw three skirts hanging on the handle of the cabinet.
skirt!
She hasn't worn a skirt yet.
She always wears black when she is on a mission, and casual pants when she is not on a mission.
"Yiyi, these are the new clothes your mother bought for you recently. Pick out whichever one you like and wear it tomorrow."
Du's mother asked.
