Chapter 198: When Are You Returning to Your Unit?
The idea of Grandfather Chen wanting to pave the way for Beibei was likely not decided just now; he didn't even have to think about it just now before agreeing directly.
People like them, in high positions of power, place extreme importance on their own promises.
To be able to agree to such a matter, it must have been a result decided upon after much deliberation.
Grandfather Chen pointed at An Yinan, "Look at this little fox; you all fall a bit short. Fortunately..."
Seeing An Yinan, he knew the Chen Family would not fall.
The heart that had been hanging for many years finally settled; with his mindset relaxed, he smiled more and became much more tolerant toward everyone.
Chen Jia and Chen Xun exchanged a glance; the brothers seemed to understand a lot, both regarding the change in their grandfather's state and the matter he had agreed to.
Sun Chunhua brought out the dishes at this moment and looked at everyone's expressions, "Why are you all just standing there stunned? Bring the dishes and eat!"
She had stewed chicken soup for her two daughters-in-law, simmering it on the small stove for over four hours.
"I'm coming," Chen Jianhua quickly replied, then entered the kitchen with Sun Chunhua.
Chen Jia and Chen Xun also went in together. Just as An Yinan and Yun Qin were about to enter, the old man waved his hand, "Little girls, why do you always like running into the kitchen? Just let those two brothers go."
An Yinan and Yun Qin smiled helplessly, then helped set the stools and served rice and soup for everyone.
The family ate together in harmony.
"If those two boys do anything wrong, just tell me; I will lecture them. No need to spoil them too much; whatever chores they should be doing, just make them do it," Sun Chunhua said, holding one daughter-in-law in each hand, finding them pleasing no matter how she looked at them.
Tomorrow, the couple would be heading back. They both had work there and many things they couldn't set aside. They had already stayed in Beijing for half a month and couldn't delay any longer.
"Mom, we understand," the two daughters-in-law quickly responded.
Sun Chunhua patted their hands, "When you are out and about, don't worry about home. Your father and I are here; we can take care of things."
"Each and every one of you must pay attention to your own safety and your own health."
As she spoke, Sun Chunhua wiped away her tears.
Both her sons were in the Military, and she lived in fear every day, terrified that the Military would send some tragic news.
She never thought about her children having great achievements; having a job, marrying a wife, and living a good life together was enough.
But her children had great ambitions; what they thought of were their home, their country, and the world.
And she could only guard the home for them, so that whenever they missed home, they could come back and see it at any time.
So that when they were tired or in pain, they could have someone to rely on.
"Mom, don't worry, we will pay attention to our safety and our health," Yun Qin said, a bit flustered, not knowing what to do.
An Yinan shook Sun Chunhua's arm and whispered comfortingly, "Godmother, you have me! I will stay with you to watch over them and protect them."
After Sun Chunhua dried her tears, she took their hands again.
"Let me tell you a secret: the Hemostatic Pill I developed is already being widely used in the Military. It is said the effects are quite good. As long as it's not a fatal blow, my Hemostatic Pill can still have a great effect," An Yinan said in Sun Chunhua's ear.
Sun Chunhua had not heard of the Hemostatic Pill before, because its efficacy was too great, and the higher-ups were worried about other countries coveting it, so it had not yet been popularized among the public.
The prescription was also being specially adjusted; the medicinal effect would be slightly weaker and the cost lower, so that the common people could afford it.
However, it was already a mandatory item for everyone in the Military. With specially developed water-resistant and moisture-proof packaging, everyone's Hemostatic Pill had become an essential item for missions.
Yun Qin's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is!"
An Yinan heard her eldest cousin's ambiguous words and was a bit confused, looking at her with suspicion, "What's wrong?"
Yun Qin said, "Two months ago, our unit issued a Small Silver Pill. Each person only got one, and it came with a briefing from a military doctor on what situations to use the pill in and how to use it."
"I was just saying, why did that sound so familiar? Isn't that exactly what you said when you wrote your letter?"
She had never imagined at the time that what this younger sister had mailed over was actually the famous Small Silver Pill.
An Yinan smiled and said, "Actually, when you go on missions, it's best to carry the Small Silver Pill I gave you. Although the Military's pills have good efficacy, there is a difference in the technique, so the efficacy is still a bit inferior to mine."
After all, she had the Little Silver Medicine Furnace bonus, and the efficacy of all her medicines was twice as good.
"I'm telling the truth. Carry the pills I gave you; you can use them for injuries in daily life, and don't be reluctant to use them. When you are about to run out, give me a call or write me a letter, and I will mail them to you immediately," An Yinan said solemnly.
They were all her family, the people she cared about.
This time, she hadn't just brought Small Silver Pills for the Chen Family and Yun Qin; she had given a bottle to every member of the Yun Family.
Yun Fei had even told her about the importance of this pill.
As for Yun Qin's pills, she had planned to give them when they left, but now, to comfort her godmother, was the best time.
An Yinan took out six small bottles. When she had customized these bottles, she only thought about putting two pills in each and didn't want to pack more. One reason was the fear that the seal wouldn't be good, and the other was the fear of the medicine leaking out, the formula being leaked, and it being copied by other countries, which would lead to endless trouble later.
"You are familiar with this medicine bottle. Each bottle has two pills. You must ensure you keep a full bottle remaining, and if you don't have enough, tell me immediately," An Yinan instructed once more.
Yun Qin took them solemnly and said to An Yinan, "Thank you."
An Yinan curled her lips, "Sister Yun Qin, we are family!"
Yun Qin patted her own forehead, "Right, right, right, my brain isn't working well, that's why I joined the Military."
Sun Chunhua patted Yun Qin, then patted An Yinan.
"You two are both my treasures; we are one family."
That afternoon, the family saw Sun Chunhua and Chen Jianhua off at the train station. Their departure also meant that everyone would soon be leaving separately to return to the places where they belonged.
First, the people from Quanshui Village came to say goodbye. They would be on the train for over half a month. They had stayed in Beijing for three days; they had seen the places they should see, and they had walked around the places they should walk around.
The friends even declared that they would definitely come back to this place.
Then Zhang Qian also had to report back to the Military; being able to come to Beijing this time was already a surprise among surprises.
The next day, after seeing off batch after batch of people, everything around became quiet.
"When are you returning to your unit?" An Yinan looked at the man beside her.
Chen Xun was silent for a long time, "Leaving the day after tomorrow."
An Yinan smiled, "I'm only staying for a month. The Compilation Bureau has an urgent mission now, and it's more convenient for me to be in Beijing. Once the urgent mission is completed, I will return to the Northeast Camp."
