Chapter 232: Battalion Commander, Emergency Mission

"Oh, my Dani, let Grandma take a look." Although the old lady felt pained for Jindou being taken away, after all, she hadn't raised her by her side, so while there was affection, it wasn't much.

But Dani had previously been raised by the old lady's side, and everything from her eating and drinking to her daily needs had been handled by the old lady.

Hearing that Wang Erhua had abused Dani so, the old lady couldn't hold back, and anxiously took a vehicle from her hometown to rush over.

After a week of care by An Yinan, Dani had undergone a earth-shaking transformation.

"Grandma, you're here." Dani hugged the old lady, her eyes moist, but she refused to let the tears fall.

Auntie had said that tears were very precious.

The old lady looked left and right, and finally set her heart at ease.

Not seeing this child for a single day, her heart would hang in suspense for that day.

"Dani, this is what your Auntie gave you. Why don't you put it away yourself?" Liu Tie Zhu handed over the cloth bag.

Dani hurriedly took it, looked at Erni beside her, opened the cloth bag, and spread the items out.

"This is the cotton-padded jacket and trousers Auntie made for me. Auntie made two sets, one for Erni." Dani sensibly divided the clothes and gave one set to Erni.

Then she took out the Frostbite Ointment, "This is the Frostbite Ointment Auntie gave. Apply it after washing your hands, and you won't get frostbite. Frostbite is very painful and itchy; you wouldn't even dare to put your hands down."

Every night, she would be cried to sleep by the pain.

Except for Auntie, no one knew.

"This is the clothing Auntie made; it can be worn over the cotton-padded jacket so the cotton-padded jacket won't get dirty."

At this moment, Dani's words were very coherent, and every single word and sentence spoke of one person: Auntie.

The old lady looked at Liu Tie Zhu in confusion.

And Liu Tie Zhu looked at Dani with gratification; no one knew better than him the changes in Dani over this past week.

Every day, she had changes; her speech became more frequent, she became more spirited, and especially her gaze became increasingly firm.

"Dani, who is this Auntie?" It couldn't be that sisters from Wang Erhua's family had come over, could it?

Could it be, Zhuzi...

Seeing the expression on his mother's face change, Liu Tie Zhu hurriedly explained, "Mother, don't let your imagination run wild. The person Dani calls Auntie is the wife of our Battalion Commander."

"Because Wang Erhua wouldn't move out, I've been staying in the dormitory, and Dani couldn't live with me, so I entrusted Dani to the wife of our Battalion Commander."

He then recounted the past between An Yinan and Wang Erhua, and the old lady sighed.

"Tomorrow, we must properly thank her. She helped take care of Dani despite past grievances; this is a debt of gratitude. Zhuzi, we cannot forget our roots."

The old lady, having been able to support the family all by herself, naturally had her own way of conducting herself.

"Mm, when I get my salary next month." Liu Tie Zhu nodded silently.

The mother and son tidied up the house; Dani and Erni would sleep in one room, and the old lady would sleep in another; he would get some wooden boards another day to build a bed in the Main Hall.

After sending Dani away, An Yinan suddenly found the house much quieter.

She had taught Dani quite a lot these past few days, and the child had learned very diligently, giving her a great sense of accomplishment.

Many feelings are mutual.

"What are you daydreaming about?" After Chen Xun returned home, he found his little wife in a daze.

An Yinan turned to look at him, "Dani was picked up."

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow; he knew about this matter, as Liu Tie Zhu had come to find him and had also told him about his divorce from Wang Erhua.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to let her go?" Chen Xun asked in a low voice.

These past few days, he had discovered that his wife liked children very much and was very patient with Dani, making clothes, preparing delicious food, and making small snacks every few days; even those two fellows, Xiaokang and Er Dan, hadn't stopped eating.

An Yinan shook her head, "It's not that I can't bear to let her go, it's just that suddenly the house feels empty."

Before, she was busy herself and didn't feel it.

Later, when Dani came, she got used to having someone chattering and doing things together.

Suddenly, with the person gone, she felt the surroundings had quieted down.

Chen Xun didn't know how to comfort her, so he just stepped forward and lifted her up by the waist, "We can't keep other people's children."

"Otherwise..."

"Let's have one of our own."

Chen Xun whispered gently in her ear.

An Yinan punched him; this man was becoming increasingly improper.

In fact, after they held their wedding, they had always used precautions, and for this, he was even mocked by Qin Hao in various ways.

Currently, the production of condoms wasn't high, and there were restrictions on receiving them in the Military; one could only receive one per month, and after using it, one would wash it to use it again next time. (True story. Whoever argues is right!)

However, he knew his wife loved cleanliness; if he dared to use it a second time, his wife would kick him off the kang.

So he thickened his skin and went to find Qin Hao every few days; after all, since he was at the Military District Hospital, it was more convenient for him to get these things.

Just as Chen Xun was placing his wife on the bed, an urgent knocking sounded at the door outside.

An Yinan pushed him, and Chen Xun moved quickly, tidied their clothes, and ran out to open the door.

"Battalion Commander, emergency mission." Zhang Qian said with a grave expression.

Chen Xun turned his head and saw his wife standing at the doorway, "Wait for me to return."

He didn't even have time to wait for An Yinan's reply before the two of them ran out quickly.

They were soldiers; under any circumstances, they had to live up to the military uniform they wore, live up to the country's cultivation, and live up to the people's trust.

An Yinan translated while waiting for Chen Xun.

But the watch turned round and round; it was one o'clock, and there were only the sounds of the Military running in bursts, and the sounds of assembly bugles.

She finished translating the documents in her hand, bolted the door she had left for Chen Xun, then added wood to the stove and the hearth, and lay down on the kang fully clothed.

Throughout the night, the sounds of assembly and footsteps never ceased.

Early the next morning, An Yinan, who had barely slept, got up, took two meat buns from her space, heated them directly on the large pot, and also took out a plate of cold dishes and cooked food from her space.

One reason is that she really couldn't be bothered to cook; cooking for one person is no fun.

Another reason is that with Chen Xun not at home, she could also eat some green vegetables; these were modern cold-dressed dishes, with all the seasonings complete and a rich fragrance.

"Bang, bang, bang." An Yinan had just finished tidying up when she heard a knocking sound from outside.

She threw on a military overcoat and walked out quickly; when she opened the door, she saw an elderly woman with some gray hair, and standing on either side of the elderly woman was a child.

Seeing An Yinan, Dani shouted happily, "Auntie."

An Yinan first said to the elderly woman, "You must be Grandma Liu, please come inside and sit."

Afterward, she ruffled Dani's hair, looking at the little girl's face full of smiles at this moment; it was clear that her grandmother treated her well.

"When I came, I brought some dried vegetables from my hometown; us farm folk don't have anything good, Comrade An, please don't mind it." The old lady put down the cloth bag she was carrying and smiled a bit embarrassedly.

An Yinan hurriedly waved her hands, "Oh my, Grandma Liu, these dried vegetables of yours have really hit the spot for me; I just love this stuff!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Liu finally relaxed a little.
