"Okay, I'll go back to the house and pack up the two kids' things." Zhao Xiaohua also knew that what she said was wrong this time, so she didn't refute it and turned around to go back to the house.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, he walked back and said, "Mom, if my younger sister is really on a business trip, the two children should not go over there. It will only cause trouble for you. Can you and my dad take care of these children?"
"It's okay, let them all go. Otherwise, I'll be worried if you go to work and leave the kids at home." After hearing what her daughter said, Mother Lu didn't want to say anything to her daughter-in-law, but she still let her grandchildren go to the army with them, otherwise she would be even more worried.
"Yes, sister-in-law, if I'm on a business trip and Mingze has to go on another mission, I won't feel at ease leaving my parents and two children alone at home. Let Gangzi and the others go. The children are grown up and can help with some work." Lu Qingyan waited for her mother to finish speaking before she also said to let the children go.
In this way, even if she was gone, the children could help her parents with chores and divert their attention so that they wouldn't have to worry too much about her.
"Okay, I'll go pack their things right away." Seeing that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had said this, Zhao Xiaohua turned around and said something to her eldest sister-in-law before going back to the house to pack her things.
After everything was cleaned up, they talked for a while in the yard, and then they heard the sound of a car horn at the door.
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law." After honking the car horn, Gu Mingze got out of the car and walked into the yard to greet Lu Qingshan and the others.
"Why are you here? Didn't we agree to have Zhang Maolin come over?" Seeing her husband coming over, Lu Qingyan frowned and said, "Have you finished your work? Will coming to pick us up delay your work?"
"Don't delay. We have almost dealt with it. There is only a little left. I will deal with it after we go back." Gu Mingze was still worried about his wife, so he drove here in person. If he didn't see that his wife was fine, he would always feel uneasy.
"Then let's go back quickly, and don't delay Mingze's work." When Lu's mother heard that her son-in-law had put down his work to pick them up, she immediately told the old man and several grandchildren to get in the car and go back early, so as not to delay her son-in-law for too long.
"Then big brother, big sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, we will leave first. We will come to visit the army when you have a holiday." Gu Mingze's father-in-law and mother-in-law got in the car, hurriedly said hello to Lu Qingshan and the others, turned around and drove back to the army
"What did Brother Chen tell you today?" Gu Mingze asked his wife in a low voice while driving.
"Brother Chen said there is a confidential mission and specifically asked me to go. The time is to be determined. I don't know when I can come back this time." Lu Qingyan heard her husband's question, turned around and saw several children talking noisily, so she moved closer to Gu Mingze and told him about Chen Xuhui's visit to her.
"You want to go." Upon hearing this, Gu Mingze immediately clenched the steering wheel with both hands and said in a low and hoarse voice
He knew from his wife's tone that she wanted to go, otherwise she wouldn't have said it so cheerfully.
"Mingze, this is a rare opportunity. After I go this time, I will become a citizen of the country when I come back. The higher-ups will grant me a special work permit." Lu Qingyan heard something wrong in the man's voice and said that this was a rare opportunity and that she really wanted to go.
"Then go ahead. I will take good care of the family, parents and children. If I go on a mission, parents will take the children to my eldest brother." Gu Mingze also knew that it was very rare for such a thing to happen to them.
He just nodded in agreement and explained everything to her clearly, telling her to go without worrying about the family, as he would make all the arrangements.
"Thank you for understanding me so much." Seeing that her husband agreed, Lu Qingyan thanked the man.
"Every time I go on a mission, I leave you and the kids at home. You understand me, so how can I not understand you?" Gu Mingze said with a smile and a cry, and then he continued to nag her, telling her to take care of herself outside, not to believe others easily, to protect her own safety, etc.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu also heard the general idea from behind. Now that their son-in-law had agreed to meet him, it was impossible for them to stop their daughter.
So the two of them looked at each other and decided that during the time when their daughter was away, they would take good care of the family and not let her worry outside.
Just like that, after they got home, before Lu Qingyan could say anything, Lu's mother said, "Your father and I heard everything in the car just now. You can go without worry. Your father and I will help you take good care of the child."
"Mom and Dad, thank you. If you hadn't been here these past few years, I don't know what my life would have been like." Seeing that her parents understood her so well, Lu Qingyan was moved and reached out to hug her parents gently.
"Go away, my daughter is so old, and you are still hugging me. Aren't you ashamed?" Mother Lu pushed her daughter away with a bit of embarrassment after being hugged by her. She glared at her and said
"Hehe, I am really touched by you guys." Lu Qingyan was glared at by her mother, so she reached out and touched her hair and said
"But after you leave, you must write to us often, otherwise we will be worried at home." Mother Lu looked at her silly daughter and said with a worried look on her face: "You have never left us since you were a child. When you go out, you must take good care of yourself and pay attention to safety. Don't be picky about food outside, try to eat more, and don't let yourself lose weight."
"I know everything, don't worry, but the place I'm going to this time is confidential. It's possible that I won't be able to write to my family after I go in, but don't worry, as long as I can write back, I will write to you." After listening to her mother's words, Lu Qingyan said that she was going to a confidential place and might not be able to mail the letter, but they didn't need to worry, she would take good care of herself.
"Okay, as long as you take good care of yourself and try to write to us, but don't force it if you can't. Just know that your father, Mingze and the children are waiting for you at home." Hearing this, Mother Lu sighed, reached out and touched her daughter's hair and said
"Okay, I know everything. Just take good care of yourselves at home and don't be reluctant to eat. Mingze and I don't lack money." After Lu Qingyan said this, she turned around and went back to her room, took out three hundred yuan and a bunch of various tickets from the mezzanine of the closet.
She closed the door, walked out, put the money in her mother's hand and said, "Mom, you and my dad can spend this money, and I'll give it to you after you've spent it."
"You prodigal son, take it back quickly. Your father and I are rich. How can we spend so much money?" Mother Lu was shocked by the money her daughter took out. She hurried out to close the door, then looked at her daughter and said unhappily, and tried to stuff the money in her hand into her daughter's pocket.
"I don't want it. This is for you and my father. If Mingze is on a mission after I leave, what will you eat and drink at home?"
