After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 98, Episode 0101: Many Eccentricities in the Family Compound (Part 1)

Leng Zhi, who received the call from Chief Ning, also felt that he had been moved to tears by Ning's filial piety.

His wife always thought their daughter was the most gentle and sweet girl in the world, but he knew that his daughter had never been a well-behaved child since she was little.

Can a girl who is only seven years old and can help her brother smash the neighbor's window and let him get away unscathed be an honest child?
It was her poor health that limited her; otherwise, she would have spent the first ten years or so either cleaning up messes or on her way to do so.

Look, he's only just recovered a little, and he's already gotten involved in the affairs of two high-ranking generals in Country E.

Just as I was rubbing my temples and laughing helplessly, another phone call came in.

Leng Zhi felt a pang of anxiety even before answering the phone, and only picked it up after it had rung several times.

Sure enough, his premonition had never failed him.

A shameless voice came from the other end: "Dad, do me a favor."

“GUN”

"Dad, it's not something I have to do, it's something about Xi Bao."

"explain."

Leng Xingchen, sitting in a wheelchair: "..."

He really isn't their biological son!

In case his father lost patience and hung up the phone, and also because he was worried about the expensive phone bill, Leng Xingchen quickly summarized the Chen family's affairs into one sentence instead of three.

Finally, he said, "Dad, I'm leaving this to you. Xi Bao said to give the things to Uncle Ning, and you can go to Uncle Ning to get them."

To avoid being overheard, Leng Xingchen didn't mention the word "prescription," instead using "things" to represent it. He didn't even mention the surname Chen, but the tacit understanding between father and son was evident in the fact that his father specifically mentioned treating Lin Yuexi. Leng Xingchen believed his father understood what he meant.

Leng Zhi understood perfectly, and said with disdain, "It's just some mountain produce, why go through all this trouble to send it? Do you think your mother and I would go without food?"

"Fine, I won't scold you this time since you're injured. Since you've already asked your Uncle Ning to send it, let it go. Don't bother others with such trivial matters next time."

Leng Xingchen's lips twitched. "Okay, Dad. That's settled then."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

Snapped,
The line went dead immediately on the other end of the phone.

Leng Xingchen, still holding the microphone: "..."

The cold wind was so biting that it chilled you to the bone.

He struggled to lift his head and look at Leng Xingran beside him. "Do you think Dad has changed? He wasn't this cold-blooded before."

Leng Zhi was a soldier, and he wanted to train his sons to be soldiers as well. However, his eldest son quietly went off to do scientific research, and his youngest son was physically weak when he was young and didn't seem like the type to be a soldier.

Fortunately, there was a second son who inherited his mantle, and he has done quite well in the army on his own.

Therefore, among the three sons, if one had to show favoritism, Leng Zhi was the best towards Leng Xingchen.

In the past, when he was injured, his dad, while not insisting on taking care of him, would at least call to inquire about his well-being. But this time, he didn't even bother to ask.

The injured person is vulnerable. At this moment, he only felt a sour and bitter taste in his heart, and a little numb.

"What makes you think you can compare to Xi Bao?"

Leng Xingran looked at his second brother as if he were an idiot, then walked behind the wheelchair and pushed him back to the ward.

Dad cherishes Xi Bao like the apple of his eye, but you're just an eyelash, what are you comparing yourself to? That makes so much sense, Leng Xingchen was speechless.

For someone like Leng Xingchen, the days spent recuperating in the hospital were pure torture. He couldn't do anything, and his whole body felt like it was being pricked by thorns every day.

Lin Yuexi, on the other hand, was finally free. Although she was still not as lively as a healthy person and was still physically weak and slow-moving, she no longer had to be confined to the house as before.

So this girl took over the meals for Comrade Leng Xingchen who was hospitalized.

What would be a tiring task for many people is something that Lin Yuexi is currently very interested in and even enjoys.

In the southeast corner of the small courtyard area of ​​the Legion's family quarters, in a house of about 400 square meters, Lin Yuexi was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, stir-frying vegetables in the kitchen on the left side of the courtyard.

On the other side, Huo Han was kneading dough in a basin, while Leng Xingran was chopping potatoes into shreds.

Leng Xingran: "I ran into Grandma Wang from next door when I went to buy groceries this morning."

Lin Yuexi stopped and looked at him. "Did she ask you for oil again?"

“It’s not about borrowing oil. I bought an old hen from a fellow villager. She said her grandson didn’t have enough milk, so she asked me to lend her a chicken leg so she could stew it to help her daughter-in-law produce milk.”

This old lady Wang is quite influential in the family quarters. She is the mother of Tang Degang, the deputy brigade commander of the Third Brigade. She came from her hometown half a year ago to help her daughter-in-law with postpartum care.

She seemed like a kind old lady, but in less than a week, she offended almost everyone in the entire residential area. To be precise, she scared all the residents in the entire residential area.

If you ask how bad she is, no, Old Lady Wang is just stingy, loves to take advantage of others, and is quite shameless in doing so.

It can only be said that it's all because of poverty.

But these days, which family isn't carefully budgeting their finances?
As a result, Old Lady Wang was particularly disliked. People only refrained from causing her trouble because of her son, but they all kept their distance from her.

It was because of her that the house they were living in now became a bargain for Leng Xingchen.

Leng Xingchen was already a deputy regimental commander two years ago, and a battalion commander would have been eligible to apply for housing. However, since he didn't have a partner and was often on missions, he always felt it wasn't necessary, since he already had a dormitory to live in.

After learning that Lin Yuexi had been sent to the countryside, and that the place was very close to their legion, Leng Xingchen applied for housing. With housing, his little sister could occasionally come and stay for a few days.

Unfortunately, the Northeast Army Corps was very large, consisting of six divisions, plus independent regiments and special operations brigades that were separated from it, totaling about 100,000 men.

There are quite a few officers at the battalion level or above who can accompany their families, but there are only so many houses in the family housing area, and the army corps is very tight on funds, so houses are basically in high demand.

When Leng Xingchen went to apply, there were no more houses for regimental-level families in the residential area. The only one left was this one, which had just been transferred to civilian work and was only vacant because it was disliked.

Last year, the army built several tenement buildings, and many people prefer tenement buildings. They feel that houses like these are beneath them, which is one reason.

Secondly, because Old Lady Wang lives next door, strangers on the street will borrow things from her. Do you think it would be good to live next door?
Leng Xingchen didn't pay attention to any of this. When he heard that there was a house, which was even allocated to him despite being above his rank, he immediately led the soldiers to renovate the house and prepare all the furniture, so that he could just move in.

Then he went on a mission without staying at the hotel, and went straight to the hospital when he came back.

Lin Yuexi and her group arrived at night without disturbing anyone. However, the next day, Grandma Wang noticed that someone had moved into the house next door. She brought her eldest granddaughter over for a visit without even having breakfast.

At that time, Leng Xingran was cooking noodles, preparing to make a whole bowl of dry noodles. When Grandma Wang came in, he was carrying an oil bottle.

Leng Xingran didn't even know who Old Lady Wang was, yet Old Lady Wang had already asked to borrow oil.

Leng Xingran didn't know what kind of person Old Lady Wang was, and being shy, she lent her a small half bowl.

And then, it's game over.

The old lady came to borrow things five or six times in one day, not even leaving behind needles and thread.
