Seeing that they had been outside for more than an hour, Chen Miao called Miaomiao to come in and told his sons to play if they wanted, as their family members would take care of them. Besides, they were children who knew what was important and would not do anything rash.

After entering the house, Miaomiao saw the Taoist priest writing big characters and went over to him, chattering.

Liu Yan poured a cup of tea for each of the elders.

Chen Miao didn't drink it because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night, but he didn't want to disrupt his sleep and rest schedule.

The phone rang, Shen Jianfeng picked it up, and smiled when he heard Xiaoxuan's voice on the other end, "Happy New Year to you too."

After a while, the microphone was handed to Chen Miao, who simply said a new year's greeting and hung up the phone. The main reason was that one really couldn't talk on the phone for too long.

After the Xiao family father and son put down the phone, "Dad, Auntie said Yun Shan and the others were setting off fireworks outside."

"Yeah. I bought it for you too. Do you want to go put it there?"

"Dad, just ask someone to let me see."

Xiao Tongran knew that his son was in a bad mood because he had no one to accompany him.

"I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to your Uncle Feng tomorrow."

"Okay. Dad, Uncle Feng said he will leave for the capital on the sixth day of the new year. I don't want to go with him. Auntie said she wants to come here and go to Hong Kong. I want to go with her."

"Okay, don't listen to your Uncle Feng. He's too lonely by himself and wants you to stay with him."

"Dad, aren't you lonely? I really don't mind having a stepmother, and I don't mind having brothers and sisters."

Xiao Tongran lit a cigarette. "I'm not alone. I'm so busy that I don't have time to think about anything else. Besides, I will never get married in this life, and you won't have any siblings."

"Dad, look at Yun Shan and his many brothers, I want one too."

“Xiaoxuan, you should treat Yunshan and the others as your brothers in your heart.

I have seen them treat you as if you were their own brother."

"Dad, I treat them as my own brothers. But I still want to have my own brothers and sisters."

Xiao Tongran looked at the cigarette in front of him and did not answer his son's question. He would never get married in this life. Isn't it good to live like this? It feels like he will never be able to finish his work.

This is something I would never have done before, but now I am willing to be busy like this.

"Dad, I'm going to school in the capital. Do you want to switch with Uncle Feng and work there?"

"Your Uncle Feng won't stay there for long. Your aunt should be there from now on."

"Then can you come and see me some time?"

"I'll try my best. When your uncle Feng comes back, I won't be so busy anymore. I'll be able to go see you if I want."

Xiaoxuan is happy and doesn’t think too much about the affairs of his elders. He just knows that his father will have time to visit him in the future.

"Dad, do you think I should go see my master and his wife?"

"You're not going to Hong Kong?"

Xiaoxuan has been struggling. He wants to go to Hong Kong, but he also misses his master. "Dad, can we go there after we come back from Hong Kong? There will be a train there every two or three days anyway."

"Your aunt will definitely return to the capital after she comes back from Hong Kong, and you still have to go to school.

Wait until the summer vacation is over, and then call your master every month to say hello."

"Dad, I haven't met my master's wife yet."

“You can see it during the summer vacation.”

"That's all."

Uncle Liu brought some snacks and hot drinks, but both of them had no appetite. In the past, there were so many people eating together, and it was such a lively atmosphere. How could it be the same now? They even didn’t want to eat their favorite cakes.

Miaomiao was ultimately unable to keep watch, so Shen Jianfeng held her in his arms while the couple sent the child back to her room. Liu Yan shared a room with the little girl, so she didn't go out.

Zheng Hao was on duty today and couldn't come. I was thinking of sending him some delicious food tomorrow and making him some snacks that I learned from Mrs. Zhang.

Until the early morning, the sound of firecrackers outside became more frequent. In fact, every household would buy some firecrackers, even the poor ones. They all wanted to get rid of the poverty of the previous year and hope to have a good life and make more money in the new year. The women went to cook dumplings. Just a few per person, that's the meaning. The main reason is that no one has the habit of eating at night.

The children were also listless and went to bed after simply washing up.

Shen Jianfeng hugged Chen Miao and insisted, "You still have to go to the base tomorrow."

"Daughter-in-law, I have to leave."

Chen Miao was stunned for a moment, allowing this guy to succeed again.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other and asked, "When do we leave?"

"It should be around the fifth day of the new year. Old Xu will leave in the next two days."

"What do you mean? Are we breaking up?" Before I could recover from the news of the separation, another bombshell arrived.

"Old Xu and I are too close to each other, so it's not suitable for us to work together."

Chen Miao understood this logic. After all, they were the two in charge of this team, and Zhuirenzhishu would not agree to the two of them working together.

"Chen Dou will come along too, right?"

"Old Xu told me today that he would take Chen Dou with him and would not let her work in the future."

"Where will he be transferred to?"

"He should be back, not on the battlefield. But Old Xu thinks he should be stationed at the southern border."

"The South? The border of Posuo Kingdom?" Chen Miao asked in surprise.

"Yes, we two studied it and found it over there."

"The environment there is too bad. It's easy to get eczema, and the mosquitoes are too fierce."

"Wife, do you know what's going on over there?"

"When I was in the Military Control Commission, I looked at the situation of all the neighboring countries."

"Old Xu is from the south, he can adapt to the climate there."

"Chen Dou can't adapt."

"Then we'll just have to get used to it slowly. There's no war over there yet, so it's safe, and the couple won't be separated."

Chen Miao sighed, "You two knew they would separate after they got married, right?"

"I thought about this and felt that this was a critical moment and we would not be separated. We had to wait until victory."

"Do you know who the person sent to you is?"

Shen Jianfeng sighed, "The chief didn't say anything when he called today. We both have two candidates in mind, and we both know them."

"From your tone, it seems that you are not very willing to cooperate with them."

"Yeah, but I don't have the final say. It's okay. I'm still the boss from now on. I'll just have to deal with the disobedient ones."

"Everything is difficult, so be careful. It takes time for two people to get used to each other when they first get along."

"I know, my wife, we are going to separate again. I really don't want to think about it."

"It won't be easy for you here in the future. I'll send the kids to the capital and come back to stay with you."

Shen Jianfeng passionately kissed the woman in his arms. This was a woman who was more important than his own life. If she wasn't there in his life, he didn't know if he would be alive today.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."

Chen Miao still accompanied him to make trouble again.

"Go to sleep. I don't need you here. Although I need to get used to the new people, it won't be a big problem."
