Because Jiang Yan's personality is rather special, Jiang Xiaowen doesn't plan to prepare any surprises. Jiang Yan will only be truly happy if he prepares what she wants.

——Even if she didn't have much emotion, Jiang Xiaowen wanted to try his best, even if it was just a little bit of joy.

Birthdays always have to be special, especially since it's his sister's birthday!

Jiang Yan thought for a moment: "My birthday?"

Not counting her birthday before she traveled through time, her birthday now is December 1st, which is indeed not far away, only one month away.

However, the birthday that is closer at the moment should be Jiang Xiaowen’s birthday.

Time travel is one thing, but Jiang Yan doesn’t care much about this era. She plans to prepare a gift for Jiang Xiaowen according to the rules of the Interstellar Office.

On a planetary citizen's birthday, the planet to which he belongs will send out birthday gifts.

It's not too expensive, but a gift that suits the birthday person's status.

The gifts she received from the government were all common research materials.

The birthday gift I received when I was in military school was a weapon commonly used by mecha warriors.

Jiang Yan thought that she should give Jiang Xiaowen a weapon.

"December 31st, didn't you remember your birthday?" Jiang Xiaowen said with a smile, "Think about what you want today and tell me this afternoon, otherwise it will be difficult to contact me later."

Jiang Yan hummed and asked, "When is your birthday?"

Seeing how persistent she was, Jiang Xiaowen had no choice but to tell her the date: "The fifth of this month."

It is now November 1st, which means there are still three days left.

"As for your mission, can we meet on your birthday?" Jiang Yan asked again.

Jiang Xiaowen hissed and thought for a moment: "It's a bit difficult, I'll try my best?"

He and Si Ci Zhan have been staying in Liufeng as foreign businessmen for some time because of Mr. Codename's matter. It's not that they can't meet, it's just troublesome.

He had to make careful arrangements, otherwise if this mission implicated his sister and put her in danger, Jiang Xiaowen might want to beat him up.

"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded and said nothing more, thinking about what weapon to give him.

The gun seems to be the best weapon that a soldier can own and carry conveniently in this era.

When the three of them arrived, Lu Ze, Xu Weiran, Li Ming, Lu Qinghuan and Liang Haoxue had been waiting for a while.

Lu Ze also took the initiative to study and research what Jiang Yan said about using spatial force to complete the experimental device.

However, he hasn't found the way yet, he just has a vague idea.

Anyway, he can now transform the materials into the shape of the parts in the picture.

But when he saw Jiang Xiaowen appear, Lu Ze thought that Jiang Xiaowen knew Jiang Yan's identity. Then he realized that he was probably sending Jiang Yan here.

Fortunately, the materials from the machinery factory were all in Xu Weiran's room. Jiang Xiaowen did not enter Xu Weiran's house. He just told Jiang Yan at the door that he would pick her up for lunch at noon, and then left.

He also has to ride his bike to the vegetable market.

After Jiang Xiaowen left, Jiang Yan took out the materials she had prepared, as well as the bowl and spoon, from her schoolbag.

"Take a look at these first. These are the methods and processes I've summarized for using spatial force to transform matter."

"For this bowl and spoon, I only performed half of the spatial force transformation—without changing their original shape and size, I altered their internal structure. I've tested it, and it seems that the bowl and spoon, altered through this spatial force structure, have undergone a qualitative change in their materials."

"Let me try." Lu Ze took it and then looked at the experience Jiang Yan gave him.

Li Ming, Xia Fei and Xu Weiran also leaned over to take a look. Even if they couldn't use the spatial force now, it didn't mean they couldn't use it in the future. They might as well get familiar with it first.

……

Because they didn't have to rush back to the army, Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen stayed here a little longer today.

But he was not accompanying Jiang Yan, but chatting with Song Yuwei.

Originally, Song Yuwei should have returned to Sijiu City after making the decision, but considering Jiang Yan's hand, she really couldn't feel at ease.

Even though Jiang Xiaowen promised that he would find a suitable person to help take care of Jiang Yan after she left, Song Yuwei was still worried.

After all, she was the one she had taken care of for more than a month. If she had been asked to leave directly when she first arrived in Xiaoyu City, she would definitely not have worried at all.

At that time, she didn't like Jiang Yan's cold and icy personality, which was even more indifferent to others than Si Cizhan.

Now I inexplicably like it.

Jiang Yan obviously didn't say much to her, but when Song Yuwei saw Jiang Yan now, she felt that this child was well-behaved, obedient and likable.

At first, she just couldn't find any dislike in Jiang Yan's beautiful face, but now she likes Jiang Yan's personality, and she likes him even more no matter how she looks at him.

To use the terms of the 21st century, it's like wearing eight hundred layers of filters.

Now she has sorted out the things in Sijiu City, but she just can't let go of Jiang Yan, so she finally decided to wait until Jiang Yan's hand heals before leaving.

It can be considered that I have lived up to my friend's trust.

Before Zhao Fangfang left, she asked her to take good care of Jiang Yan. In order to reassure her friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, Song Yuwei also accepted the money she gave her.

Song Yuwei and Zhao Fangfang were not particularly familiar with each other, and the last time they met, they couldn't help but sigh that time makes people grow old.

She still remembered that Zhao Fangfang was often talked about in the compound. She and Jiang Jingnian were a perfect match, and they loved each other very much. Jiang Jingnian had an open-minded and gentle personality, and was thoughtful. At that time, many people in the compound envied her and Si Xiao the most.

But it was Jiang Jingnian and Zhao Fangfang.

Jiang Yan is the only daughter of Jiang Jingnian and Zhao Fangfang. Song Yuwei only remembers that Jiang Jingnian and Zhao Fangfang doted on her.

If Jiang Jingnian has nothing to do during the holidays, he usually takes Zhao Fangfang with him to accompany his one or two-year-old daughter who has just learned to walk, and the two adults sit at home together.

That was in 1966.

The Si family and the Jiang family were the most staunch supporters of Mr.'s decision. During that period, everyone in the Jiang and Si families took action, and even everyone in the compound seemed to be in danger.

Jiang Jingnian was killed by desperate spies.

It was like a ridiculous shooting of the first bird to stick its head out, so the original cleansing of capital and privilege began to face resistance due to various selfishness and conspiracies.

This is probably how the scene became chaotic.

Because Song Yuwei was in the Si family, Si Xiao and Si Lao had been walking on this path and had also encountered confrontation, but fortunately the Si family did not get into chaos.

She had not had much exposure to it and often did not understand it at that time. Si Xiao would sometimes explain it to her so that she could vaguely understand it.

It was a capitalist conspiracy. Si Xiao, Jiang Jingnian and Jiang Jingjun were all good friends, and the two families spent a lot of effort to bring the culprit to justice.

But Jiang Jingnian is gone and gone forever.

It seemed that Zhao Fangfang left the compound with Mr. Jiang in 1966 or 1967, leaving only Jiang Jingjun's family in the old city. Song Yuwei had other friends of her own. Mr. Si was unable to keep the sad Mr. Jiang, and was also a little worried about his old comrade's son and his family.

It was only at the suggestion of her father-in-law that Song Yuwei began to interact more with the women of the Jiang family.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Jiang family only had Jiang Jingjun's second wife Sun Nianyan and the daughter Sun Nianyan brought with her. I have forgotten her original name, Song Yuwei, but I only know that her name has now been changed to Jiang Huan.

Perhaps the incident with Si Xiao aroused Song Yuwei's recollection of the past. This afternoon, she and Jiang Xiaowen and Si Cizhan talked most about the past years.

They were both young at that time, boys of the same age as Jiang Yan, or even younger than Jiang Yan is now, when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.

As they chatted, Jiang Xiaowen looked at the darkening sky and got up to turn on the lights in the living room to make the room brighter.

Song Yuwei's voice was interrupted by the light. She looked at Jiang Xiaowen's back, then looked at the sweater she was knitting.

Just as some people in the compound boasted, she didn't seem to have aged much after giving birth. She had no obvious wrinkles, and you couldn't see many signs of aging unless you looked closely.

But at this moment, Song Yuwei seemed to feel that she was getting older.

She is really old and likes to tell stories about the past, talking about the past of the compound, but more about the good days she spent with Si Xiao in her memories.

No matter how fierce the situation is, as long as Si Xiao is there, she will not be like a blade of grass swaying helplessly in the wind and rain.

Si Xiao gave her half of her life's happiness, Song Yuwei thought, this was enough.

She withdrew her thoughts and turned to the person who made her choose to stay in Xiaoyu City:

"I don't know how much Jiang Yan still remembers about her father. Jiang Yan didn't seem to be four years old at that time, so she probably couldn't remember anything."

"Life is such a whim."

Her sigh made Jiang Xiaowen silent for a moment. Although they were not much older than their elders at that time, they had also experienced it personally.

"Yan Yan is a good student now and has great ideals. When she grows up, she will definitely become a pillar of the country. My second uncle has been with the organization and served the people all his life. Even if Yan Yan doesn't remember, her success is enough to comfort his spirit in heaven."

Si Ci Zhan was listening on the side, and seemed to be thinking about the past events. Perhaps he had thought about it thousands of times in his military career so far, and his expression still looked so calm.

“I was actually wrong all those years.”

He suddenly said this, and Jiang Xiaowen uttered an "ah," seemingly not understanding what he meant. However, Si Cizhan stopped talking and instead glanced at the time. He said, "Why don't you go pick up Jiang Yan? We should leave."

"Aren't you ready to go?" Jiang Xiaowen waved the key to the bicycle lock in front of Si Cizhan, then went out.

But when he went to Xu Weiran's house, he didn't see Jiang Yan.

The door of Xu Weiran's house was closed, and it didn't look like anyone was there.

This scared Jiang Xiaowen, and he quickly asked the neighbors and the old men and women nearby, only to find out that a young man from Xu Weiran's family had an accident today and left in a hurry, probably to go to the hospital.

The nearest hospital was the one Jiang Yan often went to, so Jiang Xiaowen hurriedly rode his bike to the hospital.

When Jiang Yan, a frequent visitor to the hospital, was asked at the nurse's station, she immediately found out which ward they were in.

The nurse even took him there, knocked on the door of the ward, and reminded other patients in the ward to take good care of themselves and rest.

As soon as Jiang Xiaowen entered the ward, he saw Jiang Yan frowning and looking at the person on the bed.

This is the first time I've seen her frown so tightly. It's obvious that something big has happened.

The person lying on the hospital bed was not Xu Weiran, Xia Fei or Liming as he thought.

It turned out to be Lu Ze.

Jiang Xiaowen was surprised:

"Why are you lying in bed?"

Even though they had never actually fought, Jiang Xiaowen knew Lu Ze's physical fitness.

Although not as good as their soldiers, they are still much better than ordinary men and can fight better than ordinary people.

How did he end up lying in bed, and with his sister? How was he going to explain this to the Lu family?

He could only pray silently in his heart that it had nothing to do with his sister, and that it was Lu Ze's own poor health.

Lu Ze was lying on the hospital bed with a look of despair on his face. When Jiang Xiaowen asked him about it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked like he was throwing a tantrum. He said lazily:

"Overuse of the brain."
