"Sister-in-law, I saw the leaders go to see Commander He. Is something wrong?" Li Aimei asked Yun Jin, "The leaders didn't look too happy."
Yun Jin paused for a moment, then stuffed the small rice cake into Li Aimei's hands: "Play with your Aunt Aimei for a while, and Mom will pack some things to take to her."
Yun Jin guessed that He Tingchuan was probably going on a mission, and it was to Tang City.
Thinking about the situation there, Yun Jin washed all the food and drinks she could bring from home, as well as a large military water bottle, filled it with warm water, and then searched for food again.
It's too late to buy it now.
Yun Jin went to Sister-in-law Gao's house: "Does Sister-in-law's house still have white sugar, brown sugar, biscuits, or other snacks?"
Sister-in-law Gao nodded: "Yes."
"Could you lend me the money first, sister-in-law? I'll pay you back after I buy it."
Sister-in-law Gao was very generous, bringing out all the food she had at home, including a pound of red dates: "Would you like these?"
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law!" Yun Jin smiled and accepted the gift, carrying it back to Sai Hetingchuan's military green backpack. This was his previous reward, which he only took with him when going on long trips.
After Yun Jin finished packing, she gestured for Li Aimei to follow.
If there hadn't been a shortage of time, Yun Jin would have liked to cook a pot of eggs for He Tingchuan to take on the road, or they could eat them when they arrived at their destination.
Li Aimei noticed Yun Jin's panic and nervousness. Holding Xiao Niangao, she didn't ask anything. When she saw Yun Jin leave, Li Aimei followed with Xiao Niangao in her arms, looking like she was sweating profusely, with large beads of sweat falling from her cheeks.
Less than two minutes after we arrived at the gate of the compound, a military green jeep drove up.
He Tingchuan, in the car, recognized the two adults and one child at the door as his wife and daughter, and excitedly shouted, "Stop the car, sir, can I say a few words to my wife?"
Commander Chen nodded.
Having received permission, He Tingchuan immediately opened the door, took a long stride, and jumped out of the car. The man, who had a cold and stern expression, immediately softened his demeanor as soon as he got out of the car. His eyes were filled with nothing but his wife and his obedient and lovely daughter.
"What are you doing here?" He Tingchuan asked in surprise.
Yun Jin smiled and handed him the heavy backpack: "I came to see you off. In the bag, besides some food, there are some clothes for you to change into, as well as the cold medicine I took before. I packed the leftover medicine for you, along with some medicated oil and malted milk powder."
He Tingchuan frowned: "Why are you giving this to me? Keep it for yourself!"
Yun Jin squeezed his hand reassuringly: "I know where you're going. Be careful. They need the supplies more there. Here, take these!"
As she spoke, Yun Jin gave He Tingchuan a hug: "Come back soon, my daughter and I are waiting for you."
Seeing them hug, Li Aimei turned her face away shyly.
Little Rice Cake reached out her hands, wanting a hug too, her little face full of longing.
Yun Jin hugged He Tingchuan, and hearing Xiao Niangao's anxious voice, Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao from Li Aimei's arms: "Hold your daughter for a while, you can't hold her for a while."
He Tingchuan looked reluctant as he hugged his adorable daughter and gently rubbed his forehead against hers.
Little Rice Cake, unaware of the impending separation, happily grinned in her father's arms, revealing a few glutinous rice teeth and drooling from the corner of her mouth. Even so, she was still adorable and not at all messy.
Commander Chen and Political Commissar in the car looked away from the affectionate young couple, somewhat surprised that He Tingchuan, this cold and aloof man, was a completely different person in front of his wife.
Indeed, it is as if steel has been forged a hundred times and yet as supple as silk.
Getting married makes all the difference.
Commander Chen asked, "Do you think the earthquake is real?"
"The higher-ups must have believed it." The political commissar looked worried. "If it really is an earthquake, what will happen to the people in that area?"
Commander Chen narrowed his eyes: "Evacuate. If the outcome cannot be changed, evacuate as many as you can."
The political commissar thought about it and agreed, glancing at the time: "The plane is about to take off, we can't delay any longer."
He then honked the horn!
The beeping of the horn urged He Tingchuan to leave. He held Xiao Niangao in one arm and Yun Jin in the other, whispering in her ear, "When I come back, please take good care of the child."
Yun Jin nodded, holding Xiao Niangao, and reluctantly watched He Tingchuan, who was carrying a backpack and had a large water bottle hanging on his shoulder, stride towards the jeep. When he got in the car, he turned back and smiled at the mother and daughter.
Yun Jin's eyes welled up with tears from his smile.
Little Rice Cake saw her father riding in the car without her and couldn't help but pout, reaching out her hand to He Tingchuan: "Daddy..."
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow in disbelief, looking at the little rice cakes that kept calling out "baba".
He Tingchuan heard it too, his deep eyes bright: "Nian Gao, wait for Daddy to come back!"
"Daddy!!!" Little Rice Cake watched her father's car drive away, and excitedly bounced in her mother's arms: "Daddy......."
He Tingchuan smiled, excited and moved: "My daughter can call me 'Dad' now!"
Division Commander Chen and the others glanced at the happy He Tingchuan: "You'll probably be gone by the time you get back. Do your best on missions, don't embarrass our artillery, and take good care of your men."
"Yes!" He Tingchuan saluted.
When they arrived at the airport, He Tingchuan saw familiar faces, including Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo winked at him.
He Tingchuan walked past him expressionlessly and gave the order: "Attention!"
Li Aiguo composed himself and listened to Commander He's orders.
......
On Yun Jin's side, Xiao Niangao was crying loudly. Yun Jin comforted her for a while before she calmed down. Xiao Niangao looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, wanting to go find her father.
Yun Jin washed her face: "Daddy will be back in a few days. How about you stay home with Mommy for the next few days, little Niangao? Mommy will be scared if you don't stay with her. Little Niangao is the best girl, right?"
