When they saw their captain return, the group was practically bursting with excitement.

Everyone knew that you couldn't ask about the mission, so no one asked about the mission itself. Instead, they all asked when their sister-in-law would come to join them.

He returned five days later than others, and everyone assumed he had taken leave to go home and pick up his sister-in-law. Their team leader said that his family's little girl was adorable, and they wanted to meet her too.

"Don't bother looking, they're not here. There's no food anywhere. If we keep them at home, they might be able to come here with some food. It's very difficult to buy any food. I've already gotten my wife's approval, right? The apartment in the tenement building is opening up, so whoever wants one should hurry up and apply." Xia Jixuan waved his hand, telling the team members to quickly line up, and also mentioned that he was giving up his apartment spot, urging anyone who wanted to apply to do so as soon as possible.

"No way, we're still waiting to see our little niece..." Upon hearing their captain's words, they burst into a wail.

Their curiosity was almost overwhelming, but after waiting for so many days, the captain actually said something like that... really...

"What are you looking at? That's my daughter. Come on, let's warm up first..." Xia Jixuan waved his hand as he looked at the group of groaning team members, telling them to get moving.

"Come on, come on, the slowest ones today, come and practice with me..." Xia Jixuan's sudden words made the groans in the team even louder.

The captain is trying to lose his humanity. I just got back and he's already trying to bully them.

Now they didn't dare to run slower, because if their boss caught them, he would definitely abuse and ruthlessly torment him.

Upon seeing the ferocity of their Flying Eagle Squad leader, the other teams immediately retreated. In their eyes, Captain Xia of the Flying Eagle Squad was not human; his physical strength and combat prowess were terrifying.

The most dangerous missions in the entire military camp were all carried out by their Flying Eagle Squad.

"Hello, Captain Xia!" To avoid being humiliated, everyone was very polite, greeting him and then quickly leaving...

They're doomed; they shouldn't have sparred with Captain Xia.

After a day of training, he would return to his dormitory, wash up, and then write letters while waiting for the lights to be turned off.

He wanted to wait until the lights were off before going back; he had to eliminate any possibility of being discovered. The building was full of well-trained soldiers, and even though there was a wall between them, passing by the dormitory entrance and not hearing a sound, even the sound of breathing, could arouse suspicion.

Therefore, he had to be extremely careful, ensuring his own safety while making sure he didn't reveal anything. He had originally intended to hand it over to the state, but the stone had disappeared, and he didn't know how to extract it. Also, his wife could use this space.

If he hands over his personal space to the state, he and his wife will lose their freedom. If he weren't married, he could manage, but now he has a family, a wife, and children, so he can't just think about himself.

However, it's still worthwhile to use this to benefit the country. He's already decided that this time he'll submit a prescription for an insect repellent. He's still experimenting with a hemostatic agent, but the medicine he takes out from his spatial storage is indeed much more effective than the medicine from outside.

He planned to gather the necessary ingredients from an outside pharmacy and then try to develop the medicine himself. He needed to test it and know the results before submitting it to his superiors; only then would it be convincing.

When he returned to the Jade Space that evening, his wife was waiting for him in the house.

He hadn't seen his daughter, son, and wife for over half a month and was worried that someone might bully them since they were living alone.

"Wife, how are you..."

"That's good. No one in the village will make things difficult for us regarding the grain you found earlier, so don't worry. Song Dazhi was detained for 15 days, and the Song family paid 30 yuan and 9.5 yuan for medical expenses. He came back yesterday and tried to climb over our wall, but we've already put broken glass on our wall, so he got injured and ran away."

“I left my daughter here last night because my two sons and I went out to teach Song Dazhi a lesson and I was worried that he would be scared if he woke up alone at home and couldn’t find anyone. Don’t worry, this isn’t the first time I’ve left her here. She’s adapted very well and never says a word when we’re out, not even to her two older brothers…” Liu Fangmei rambled on as she told her husband about what had happened these past few days.

Xia Yutang was sleeping upstairs. She woke up when she heard her father's voice, but she didn't go downstairs. Her parents had something to say, and she didn't want to be a third wheel.

Her father was the owner of this space, and he knew as soon as she woke up. However, seeing that the little cutie didn't seem to want to get up, her father didn't disturb her.

Xia Yutang originally intended to go back to bed, but when she thought about her father coming back, she simply took her blanket and went to sleep in the next bedroom.

She's being so sensible; hopefully, her father won't throw her out of the space. She also knows that time flows differently in the two places, and every time she sleeps in the space, she's able to sleep until she naturally wakes up. Besides, there's a soft bed to sleep on; who would want to sleep on a hard kang (heated brick bed)? That would be crazy!

As Liu Fangmei was talking, she noticed her husband's smiling face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Tangtang woke up, but after she went to the bathroom, she took her blanket and went to sleep in the next bedroom. She must have heard my voice and thought I was going back to my room to sleep, so she gave me her spot."

"That brat, she's fine, she's very resilient. Ever since she drank the water from the well in the courtyard, she's been running around with her two brothers these past few days without any problems." Liu Fangmei felt that her daughter's health had returned to that of a healthy child after drinking the well water.

"Clean up the bottom shelves of those cabinets and put some hot food in them. Since those cabinets are frozen in time, the temperature of the food won't change. Put some hot buns or steamed eggs in a place she can easily reach..." He had seen how his daughter looked for food this morning, so he had to prepare some food for her.

"I understand. Don't put it in the cabinet. Just put it in the steam oven. That steam oven has a keep-warm function, it's about 45 degrees Celsius. That's just right, not too hot." Liu Fangmei also thought of how her daughter dragged a chair to the counter to find food this morning.

"I didn't think that much about it before. Last time, she woke up earlier than me too. I left some steamed buns in the oven, and she took one and ate it." It was indeed her oversight; she had forgotten that her little one would wake up early looking for food.

"The time ratio inside is one to three times that outside. That means one day outside is equivalent to three days inside. So sleeping here is equivalent to sleeping for a whole day and night. How could she not be hungry?" His little girl can't stand being hungry, so it's perfectly normal for her to look for food as soon as she wakes up.
