Xiaoman also felt that having her older sister around would hinder Naonao and Tengteng's growth. However... "The more they experience together, the deeper their sibling bond will become."
"Then let them come find us together."
"Um."
Xiaoman and Han Bin had just finished their discussion when her older sister's voice came from the doorway. "Mom, Dad, can I come in?"
Han Bin: "Yes, come in."
The older sister came in carrying a jade pendant. "Mother, Brother Huihui gave me a green stone. He said you should keep it for me."
Xiaoman looked at what her sister was holding. "This isn't an ordinary stone. It's jade."
The older sister looked at the green stone in her hand. "This is jade?"
"Hmm. Did you thank Brother Huihui?"
"Yes." The older sister handed the jade pendant to Xiaoman. "Mother, please keep it for me."
"Um."
The older sister went over and hugged Han Bin's waist. "Dad, are you free now?"
Han Bin picked up his sister and placed her on his lap. "Yes."
"Let's go play on the swings then."
"Okay." Han Bin stood up, holding his sister, and looked at Xiaoman, saying, "Then we're going out."
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
The older sister hugged Han Bin's neck. "Mom, have you ever played on a swing?"
Xiaoman: "No." In her past life, she was always studying or practicing martial arts when she was little. Besides, girls in her area didn't play on swings. In this life, she was supposed to get married the moment she opened her eyes.
Sister: "Let's go play together then."
When Han Bin heard Xiaoman say that she had never played on a swing before, he pulled Xiaoman up and said, "Come on, I'll push you."
Xiaoman wasn't particularly interested in swinging. But... since she was here, she might as well enjoy the privileges of being a woman here. "Okay."
Once inside the courtyard, Xiaoman hugged her older sister and sat on the swing.
Han Bin: "Are you seated yet? If you are, I'll push you away."
Xiaoman: "All done."
Sister: "I'm better too."
Han Bin: "Then I'll decline."
Xiaoman, older sister: "Mmm."
My older sister was overjoyed when the swing started moving. "Mom, I love swinging with you! Haha..."
The younger brother was sorting through the medicinal herbs he and Naonao and Tengteng had gathered. Hearing his older sister laugh, he came out of the house.
After seeing this, Xiaoman asked her younger brother, "Do you want to play with us?"
Younger brother: "Yes."
Bai Na, Xiao Man's neighbor, was passing by Xiao Man's house after work when she heard her older sister and younger brother laughing very happily, so she looked over at Xiao Man's house.
In the courtyard, Xiaoman sat on the swing with her older sister and younger brother, swinging leisurely back and forth. Han Bin stood behind the swing, watching the two children on it with a smile.
Bai Na felt both envious and jealous.
As soon as she got home, Bai Na said to her husband, "How could a dignified senior officer push his wife and children on a swing?"
Bai Na's husband also felt that Han Bin was spoiling Xiao Man too much. Not only did she not go to work, she also didn't cook. However... "Perhaps Commander Han thinks that his wife has given birth to five sons for him and has made great contributions, so he spoils her like that."
Bai Na pursed her lips. "She doesn't work, what else is she going to do if she doesn't have children?" Bai Na glanced at her husband. "If I gave you five sons, would you push me on the swings too?"
Bai Na's husband knew that Bai Na didn't want to have any more children, and besides, Bai Na was getting older. So... "If you give me five sons, I'll push you on the swing. Not only will I push you on the swing, I'll also bring you water to wash your feet."
Bai Na knew that with her husband's personality, even if she gave birth to five sons, he wouldn't push her on the swings, much less bring her water to wash her feet. However, everyone loves to hear sweet words. "What would you like to eat? I'll go make it for you."
"I want to eat..."
After finishing his meal, Lü Hui, along with Nao Nao and Tengteng, washed the pots and pans and went home.
As soon as he returned, Grandma Lü asked, "Did you give that jade pendant to the little girl?"
"Yes. I was afraid she would lose it, so I had her give it to Aunt Xiaoman."
"Your Aunt Xiaoman didn't say anything, did she?"
"No."
"That's good. If your Aunt Xiaoman doesn't accept that jade pendant, Grandma will feel embarrassed to take that ginseng."
Lu Hui sat down on the sofa. "If I were the one who found that ginseng, would you have the nerve to take it?"
Grandma Lü glanced at Lü Hui. "You don't have that kind of luck."
"That's true. I thought we'd stumbled into a ginseng grove. But after searching that area several times, we finally found a small ginseng that had only grown a few years ago."
Grandma Lü chuckled, "These things all possess a spirit. How could you possibly find them so easily?"
On the other side, after Nao Nao and Tengteng finished packing the medicinal herbs, Xiaoman called them together: "We're going to the capital tomorrow. Nao Nao, Tengteng, your father and mother are entrusting your younger brother and sister to you two."
Nao Nao: "Mom, don't worry. Tengteng and I will definitely take good care of our younger brothers and sisters."
Tengteng: "Mom, don't worry."
"Okay." Xiaoman looked at Zuo Zuo, You You, her older sister, and her younger brother: "You should listen to your older brothers."
Zuo Zuo, You You, older sister, younger brother: "Mmm."
Xiaoman looked at the children and said, "I'm letting you go by yourselves this time so you can get some tough training. Don't be lazy." As she said this, Xiaoman looked at her older sister.
The older sister immediately raised her hand: "I won't slack off."
"Hmm." Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo and Youyou and said, "Don't try to be a hero. Your mother sent you out to broaden your horizons, not to make you heroes."
Zuo Zuo: "Mom, I understand."
Youyou: "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely listen to my brothers."
"Hmm." Xiaoman looked at Han Bin.
Han Bin looked at Nao Nao and Tengteng and said, "Remember what your mother said."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Mm."
"Keep the map and list I gave you safe. The people on the list are all my father's brothers. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, go to them."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."
"Alright. That's all I have to say, Dad." Han Bin looked at Xiaoman: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"It's gone."
"Then..." Han Bin had barely uttered "then" when his sister raised her hand.
Xiaoman glanced at her older sister and said, "Speak."
Sister: "Mom, let's have family day tonight."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay."
The next day, after breakfast, Xiaoman and Hanbin set off on their little black bike. After Xiaoman and Hanbin left, Xiao Qin also drove off with Lao Guo and Lao Shang.
Grandma Lü wanted Nao Nao and Tengteng to come to her house. Nao Nao and Tengteng said they could take care of themselves and their younger siblings.
A few days later, Xiaoman and Hanbin arrived at the Beijing Military Region.
Han Bin gave his identification to the young soldier standing guard at the entrance of the military region.
The young soldier was stunned after reading it: "You...you're the new division commander?"
Han Bin: "Mm."
The young soldier looked at Han Bin, then at Xiao Man and Xiao Hei: "You...you came on horseback?"
Han Bin: "Mm."
The young soldier looked at the documents in his hand again: "Wait a moment. I'll go make a phone call."
Han Bin: "Go ahead."
After the young soldier left, Han Bin looked at Xiao Man and said, "He didn't think my ID was fake, did he?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "He probably has never seen a division commander arrive on horseback."
After a while, the young soldier came out of the guard room and returned the ID to Han Bin: "Commander Han, please."
"Okay." Han Bin put away his documents and then went inside with Xiao Man and Xiao Hei. Before Han Bin and Xiao Man even reached the office, everyone there already knew that Han Bin had arrived on horseback to take office.
Even before Han Bin went inside, some people already thought he was a country bumpkin.
