I cooked three dishes tonight: spicy small fish and shrimp, crucian carp stewed with shredded radish soup, and stir-fried shredded lettuce. I left all three dishes for Lu Jingchuan and kept them warm in the pot.
After the mother and daughter finished their meal, they sat in the living room and read books. They waited until ten o'clock, but Lu Jingchuan still didn't come back, so they had to turn off the lights and go to bed.
I don’t know how long I slept before a familiar warm body lay down on the bed.
Gong Linglong was subconsciously thinking about him. She didn't sleep very soundly at night. When he lifted the quilt and lay down on her, she woke up and turned to him, "You're back."
"I woke you up."
Lu Jingchuan held her soft body in his arms and kissed her forehead. "Linglong, you should go to bed on time when I'm not home. Don't worry about me."
"I'll get used to it slowly." Gong Linglong leaned lazily in his arms and asked, "Did you eat dinner on time?"
"I ate it."
He interrogated the four men all day long. His meals were prepared for him in the cafeteria by his comrades, and he had dinner on time.
The identities of the four people caught in the mountains yesterday have been confirmed. These four people are tough guys. They used countless methods to pry open their mouths, but they still couldn't dig out the identity of the spy hiding inside the military region.
If she hadn't discovered it in time, the army's confidential deployment would have been leaked. Lu Jingchuan whispered to her, "Linglong, you've made a great contribution this time. The commander and the political commissar have both commended you. However, the person hiding inside the army hasn't been found. To avoid putting you in danger, we've decided not to disclose it to the public."
"Well, everything is up to you."
Gong Linglong had no objection and also offered a positive response: "Eradicating enemy spies and bad elements is everyone's responsibility. As a military family member, I should step forward and set an example."
"My wife is the most capable. She can handle both housework and housework. She can get rid of enemy spies and beat up shrews. It's my honor to marry you." Lu Jingchuan said with a smile.
Gong Linglong: "...I can still give birth to a baby for you."
"Ha ha..."
Lu Jingchuan was amused by her, turned over and pressed her down, laughing non-stop: "Yes, and she can even give birth to a baby for me, my wife is the best."
"Get lost."
Gong Linglong scolded him jokingly, but fearing he might actually do something, she pushed him down and said, "Stop messing around and go to sleep."
It was already late, and if he slept for another two or three hours, it would be dawn. Lu Jingchuan had the energy and strength to have a baby with her, but that was a long time coming, so there was no need to rush. He smiled softly, "Wife, go to sleep."
"Well, you should go to bed soon too."
The couple closed their eyes, hugged each other and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Gong Linglong woke up in the morning, Lu Jingchuan had not yet gotten up. He slept too late last night and could rest more this morning. She got out of bed quietly, put on her clothes, opened the door gently, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When Lu Jingchuan got up and washed up, the steaming fish soup noodles had just come out of the pot. Gong Linglong fried two poached eggs for him and added some of his favorite chili meat sauce.
"Brother Jing, eat quickly."
He was going to work, so Gong Linglong asked him to eat first, handed him a big bowl of noodles, and stuffed chopsticks into his hand.
Looking at the big bowl of fragrant noodles carefully prepared by his wife, Lu Jingchuan felt warm in his heart. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, saying to her, "Linglong, when I'm not home for dinner, you and Mom should also eat well. Don't just make some porridge and stir-fried vegetables to make do. Go buy more meat and eggs."
"Okay, I'll buy it."
The noodles for the mother and daughter were also cooked. Bai Shuixian brought out two bowls of noodles and asked her son-in-law, "Jingchuan, do you want some more noodles?"
"No, Mom. This big bowl is enough."
Lu Jingchuan took the noodles and ate them in big mouthfuls, sighing as he ate, "I've never had fish soup noodles before. Today is my first time, and it tastes amazing."
The fish used for stewing soup in the morning was caught in the river yesterday. Perhaps because it was kept in the space for a night, the taste was more fresh and sweet. The soup stewed with fish heads and bones was milky white and fragrant. The taste was so good that the three of them ate up all the noodles and fish soup.
After finishing his breakfast, Lu Jingchuan rushed to the training ground at the speed of an 800-meter sprint and started today's devilish training.
The mother and daughter were going to the city to pick up photos today. After dinner, they closed the door and hurried out to catch the commuter bus.
When they arrived at the photo studio, the photographer was developing the photos in the room. They still needed to wait for half an hour. Bai Shuixian planned to go for a walk around and said, "Linglong, you wait here. I see there's a small park nearby. I'll go take a look and I'll meet you in half an hour."
"Okay, be careful."
Gong Linglong had a hunch that her mother was worried, but she didn't say it herself and didn't dare to ask too much.
Bai Shuixian was indeed worried and didn't want to tell her daughter. After leaving the photo studio, she bought a few copies of today's newspapers at a newsstand on the roadside and then walked to the park across the street.
The park is built by the mountain and the water. The trees beside the tree-lined paths are lush and verdant. In the center of the park is a small lake with clear water. There is a pavilion in the center of the lake with a winding corridor leading to the pavilion. At this time, many elderly people are enjoying the scenery and playing chess in the pavilion.
Seeing that there were many empty seats on the corridor, Bai Shuixian walked over and sat down, taking out the newspaper she had just bought and reading it.
Not long after she sat down, two middle-aged women came over and sat down. Both of them had a cloth bag filled with wool hanging on their arms. They took out their knitting needles and started knitting, chatting with each other.
"Did you hear that Deputy Mayor Xue's mother-in-law was sent to a nursing home yesterday? I heard that the old lady was seriously ill and was transferred directly from the city hospital to the nursing home."
They were chatting about daily life before, and Bai Shuixian didn't listen much, but she heard what they said.
The two women didn't notice her. The other woman continued, "I heard from Old Yan's family that the patient was taken there yesterday afternoon. She's not paralyzed, but she's in so much pain that she can't get up. The medicine the hospital prescribed isn't very effective. The children and grandchildren all have to go to work, so they had no choice but to send her to a nursing home."
"Ah, this person is old and has many health problems. Her children and grandchildren are all promising, but when they are not in good health, they will spend money to send them to a nursing home and hire someone to take care of them. When we are old and paralyzed in bed, I guess we will have a hard time even getting a sip of water."
"What kind of family is that? What kind of family is ours? This person is so infuriating."
"But then again, this nursing home isn't as good as I imagined. I heard from Old Yan's family that the people living there are all retired cadres. Some of their children are filial and come to visit them every now and then, but some of them are not filial and never come to see them all year round. They are only taken home to stay for a few days during the Chinese New Year. They are actually very lonely and pitiful."
"Look, these old men playing chess in the pavilion all live in a nursing home. I heard their children are not filial to them, and it's pitiful for these old guys to live alone."
