"Thank you grandma."
Zhang Jingjing didn't show any pretense, she took it and took a look at it, "This must be easy to use. The packaging looks high-end."
The old lady snorted, thinking she was quite knowledgeable.
After spending some time with the three children, Zhang Jingjing went to the yard to pick some vegetables and a few cucumbers.
"Grandma, you can eat all the vegetables in the yard now. Don't go out to buy them from now on. Just come here and eat them. They're fresh."
Looking at the vegetables grown by Zhang Jingjing, the old lady also liked it. She also liked to grow some vegetables at home, but because it was a building, there was not much space, and the ones planted in the flower pots did not grow well and could not be eaten at all. Look good.
"Okay, I get it."
The old lady was not polite to her. There were so many vegetables in the yard that she couldn't finish them in a while, so there was no need to waste that money.
She now likes Zhang Jingjing a lot. She cooks well and is good at work. Her three children are well educated and she does a good job. Where can she find fault?
She even went to the army to visit Huo Changqing during this big holiday. She is really a good wife.
While they were talking, Wu Peilan and the others came back. They were very happy to see Zhang Jingjing back.
"You're back? How do you feel about the army?"
"It's pretty good, but the conditions are more difficult than here."
Wu Peilan washed her hands and stood in the yard chatting with the old lady and the others, while Huo Zhongyi listened with a smile on his face.
"Grandma, don't go back at noon. Stay and eat. I'll make braised noodles for you."
It's almost noon now, it's time to eat.
The old lady thought about it and was not polite.
"Then wait until I get home and I'll call the old man over."
"Okay, then please go slower on the road."
The old lady wandered away, and Wu Peilan whispered a few words to Zhang Jingjing.
After a while, the old lady and Mr. Huo came over together. Wu Peilan felt sorry for Zhang Jingjing's hard work in the car, so she helped in the kitchen.
The family was enjoying themselves and seemed very harmonious. At this moment, someone from the security department suddenly ran in.
"Comrade Huo, I have your phone number."
Huo Zhongyi stood up and said, "Who called here?"
"Over there with the troops."
The old man glanced at Huo Zhongyi and stood up with a cane, "I'll go with you."
When they came back after answering the phone, both of their faces became heavy. The old lady didn't know why and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Who called?"
Huo Zhongyi forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm calling from my work unit."
When Zhang Jingjing and the others were waiting for the meal to be cooked and they were sitting together to eat, Zhang Jingjing clearly felt that something was wrong with everyone.
"Dad? What's wrong?"
"fine."
Zhang Jingjing murmured in her heart. After eating, Huo Zhongyi sent the old lady back first. After returning home, she spoke with a heavy heart.
"Something happened to Chang Qing. He was ambushed on a mission today. The other party planted explosives in advance. Two people died on the spot."
When Wu Peilan heard this, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Jingjing was also stunned, but she quickly calmed down. In Huo Zhongyi's current state, Huo Changqing should be fine. Otherwise, how could he be so calm?
"Dad, is Changqing okay? How is he?"
"I don't know, the person disappeared. It rained heavily and there was a landslide on the roadside. Someone was buried underneath."
Zhang Jingjing's heart became heavier and heavier, thinking about her uneasiness while riding in the car and the sudden throbbing in her heart, which might be a sign of something happening.
"Then what should we do? If the person disappears, hurry up and look for him. What mission is so dangerous? It will cost lives! No, let's drive there quickly. Chang Qing must not let anything happen to him!"
Wu Peilan was so anxious that she just had a full meal, her stomach churned and she vomited it out.
The old man on the side was quite calm.
"Don't panic. My eldest grandson Jiren has his own destiny. Nothing will happen. I have already contacted someone, and I expect there will be news soon."
The old man was a man who had seen strong winds and waves and fought on the battlefield. Although he was a little worried, he was still calm.
Zhang Jingjing was originally as panicked as Wu Peilan, but seeing how calm he was, her mood stabilized.
"Let's leave now, Zhongyi. Please ask for leave from your work unit."
Wu Peilan couldn't care about work anymore. Now she just wanted to rush over and make sure her son was safe.
Although it may not be of much help if you go there, parents will definitely do their best when encountering something like this.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Huo Zhongyi glanced at Zhang Jingjing. She had been going back and forth in the past two days. She had just come back and something like this happened. If she followed him again, how could her body withstand it?
Besides, if they all run away, the old lady will be left alone at home. I'm afraid she will think too much. The old lady has a bad heart and must hide this matter.
"Jingjing, please don't go. We will contact you at any time. You can take good care of the old lady and the child at home. Don't worry, Chang Qing, he will be fine."
Zhang Jingjing naturally wanted to go along. Logically speaking, she and Huo Changqing didn't have a deep relationship. Even if something happened to the other party, they wouldn't be as uncomfortable as they are now.
But in fact, she was really worried now. Thinking that Huo Changqing might die, it became difficult to breathe.
But the family does need someone to take care of her. It would be useful for my father-in-law to go with the old man. After all, there are people he knows. My mother-in-law is in this state. If she doesn't let him go, I'm afraid she will go crazy on the spot.
Zhang Jingjing gritted her teeth and could only nod.
"Okay, if you have any new news, be sure to tell me as soon as possible."
After that, Huo Zhongyi and the others simply packed up and left in a hurry by car.
After seeing them setting off, Zhang Jingjing went to see the three children.
When I turned around, I found that the eyes of the three little ones were red. The third one seemed to be frightened, and his little face was pale.
Zhang Jingjing was a little worried and hurried over to pick up the little third child.
"Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you?"
The little old man didn't respond. Zhang Jingjing's heart tightened and she quickly tugged on his ears. After a few seconds, she burst into tears.
"Auntie, Huo, Uncle Huo, will he die?"
Although he is young, he has experienced it. The last time his father passed away, he also received such news, and then they no longer had a father.
Is Uncle Huo going to die too? They won't even have a new father anymore.
When he thought of this, Xiao Laosan's heart almost broke.
Seeing the appearance of the three children, Zhang Jingjing felt a sore nose and shed tears.
She quickly hugged the three children.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Uncle Huo. He is so powerful, who can kill him? No one else has that ability."
The three children cried with snot and tears, which made Zhang Jingjing feel even heavier.
Even though she was in a state of confusion, Zhang Jingjing went back to the house and planned to put her three children to sleep.
