——————
Xie Jingchen has completed most of his missions in the past few months, captured important materials from the Shantian Organization, and has even triumphed over all competitors in the national martial arts competition, becoming the undisputed number one across the military districts. One could say his present glory knew no bounds.
Similarly, his rank has been slightly promoted, and he has finally become a Rong Guard Captain.
Now, the Land Battle Group in the county town of X where he is stationed is under his command.
After becoming a Rong Guard Captain, Xie Jingchen had the authority to dispatch military vehicles. Moreover, having captured the championship, the military provided rewards.
Aside from his promotion, his military rank remained the same. Military ranks in the military are usually progressed based on service years and experience, while actual power in different military positions is determined by capability and background.
Unable to accompany his parents and children back to their hometown due to his duties, Xie Jingchen took advantage of his position and requested a military vehicle to personally send them to the train going home.
Then, he called his brother-in-law, Fan Jiefang, in advance and asked him to arrange a vehicle to pick them up from the train station.
Compared to the cold north winds of the county town X, upon returning to Y county town, it was just slightly chilly around twelve or thirteen degrees, with the air a bit more humid.
Considering the journey involved the elderly and children, after confirming the date his family would return home, Xie Jingchen sequentially phoned his eldest brother and youngest brother, asking them to tidy up the old house if they had the time, to at least give Mr. Xie and his wife a place to stay.
Other matters aside, serving one’s elderly parents is a duty that all children should fulfill.
Yan Jinsu was worried about the chaos on the train, so she carried Xiaojiu and Shiyi on her back, one after the other. With Xie Tiesheng, an old man leading a string of elderly women and children, they were quite eye-catching.
Fortunately, Xie Jingchen had already made arrangements on the train, and soon after, Zhou Zhenghui heard from Xie Jingzi’s mouth that the Xie Family were traveling that day and also had Wan Song send a message to the train station to "inquire" about the situation.
Thus, seeing that the Xie Family was accommodated in a high-class compartment, and that the attendants were attentively looking after them along the journey, anyone with ill intentions, seeing this, would retract their claws.
Yan Jinsu safely returned to Y county town’s train station with her family, and Fan Jiefang, who had been notified early, stood tiredly at the exit for nearly two and a half hours.
Nowadays, trains are really not on time. Being able to reach the station within three hours can be considered very good.
Seeing Fan Jiefang’s exhausted appearance, Yan Jinsu frowned slightly. Fortunately, her mother-in-law was so sleepy from the long train ride that she didn’t notice her son-in-law’s condition.
Xie Tiesheng noticed, but he was not Zhou Xiuhua; even if he saw something, he wouldn’t specifically remind his wife to take notice.
The family didn’t visit his second daughter’s home but had Fan Jiefang take them directly back to Qingfeng Village.
Yan Jinsu saw the anxious look on Fan Jiefang’s face and didn’t ask him to stay longer. Seeing him rushing off in such a hurry, she began to worry:
With her brother-in-law looking so anxious, could it be that something happened to her elder sister-in-law?
PS: Elder sister-in-law [Xie Jinghong, second-eldest], little aunt [Xie Jingzi, youngest].
Yan Jinsu watched her mother-in-law, tired, taking Xiao Si and Xiaoqi back to the inner room, knowing in her heart that something must have happened in her second sister’s family again.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xie Tiesheng’s nostalgic expression when he saw his bamboo water pipe, and she was speechless.
But the fact that Dad didn’t react and didn’t startle Mom, that was the right way.
