Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

"Comrade, is there any meat left?" Aunt Li asked.

"That's all, that's all," the butcher waved his hand. "Sister-in-law, you need to come early in the morning to buy meat."

"There are only some bones and offal left here. Would you like to buy some?"

These things are usually unwanted, but every time he has to stay at the pork stall for half a day longer because of them.

Aunt Li frowned deeply. None of these would work!

My daughter-in-law suddenly said she wanted to eat wontons at noon, and if I didn't get them, she would make a scene at home.

She had no other choice but to try her luck.

"Aunt Li."

Just as she was frowning in worry, she heard a voice calling her from behind. When she turned around, she saw a familiar face.

"Wanqing, you've gone back to your hometown? How's your husband?" Aunt Li asked with concern.

Li Wanqing explained the general situation, and Aunt Li sighed with relief, "Fortunately, God has been kind to us. I hope God will also be kind to my son."

She only found out when she arrived at the military region that her son had gone out on a mission half a month ago, leaving his pregnant daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter at home.

Fortunately, that brat knew to arrange for a young soldier to pick her up at the train station, otherwise she would have had a very difficult trip.

However, she never expected that her daughter-in-law, who was originally quite reasonable, would change her personality so drastically this time, and would make a mess of the house every day.

If it weren't for her son, she really wouldn't want to put up with this.

"Is the aunt's son named Liang Zhicheng?" Li Wanqing asked tentatively.

After all, there aren't many families in this military region with the same surname Liang, who are on missions, and whose daughters-in-law are pregnant.

Aunt Li nodded in surprise. "Oh my, how did you know?"

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Auntie, it seems we are really destined to meet. Your son is my husband's comrade-in-arms."

I only overheard Cheng Baichuan mentioning it to his comrades at noon, and I never expected to run into Aunt Li in the afternoon.

When the two sides checked the information, it turned out that Cheng Baichuan's comrade-in-arms Liang Zhicheng was indeed Aunt Li's son.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li became even more affectionate towards Li Wanqing.

"That's wonderful! You should visit me often from now on..." Aunt Li paused, "or should I come to you?"

Thinking of her daughter-in-law, she really didn't dare to invite anyone to her door.

What if he goes crazy? Wouldn't that bring shame to his son?

Li Wanqing readily agreed. Every family has its own troubles, and since Aunt Li wasn't going to say anything, she wouldn't ask any further.

"What brings you here, Auntie?"

Aunt Li's expression dimmed slightly. "I wanted to buy some meat, but it's sold out. I'll come back tomorrow."

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "I have some at home. Aunt Li, you can take it if you need it urgently."

Aunt Li's eyes lit up, but then she felt embarrassed. "Never mind, I'll just come earlier tomorrow."

Wanqing's husband had just been discharged from the hospital and needed to replenish his nutrition. How could she steal his food?

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Auntie, it's alright. I was just wondering what to do with the meat."

“You wouldn’t believe it, my husband bought the meat without even asking me, but I originally planned to buy bones to make soup.”

"As you know, my husband still can't walk normally, so I was thinking of making more bone broth, which is good for his legs."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li didn't refuse anymore. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll give you whatever the price and the tickets are."

Li Wanqing was relieved. "Then wait a moment, Auntie. I'll go buy some bones, and you can come home with me to get the meat."

Li Wanqing bought all the large bones and half a pig offal from the pork stall, and the butcher smiled so broadly his eyes disappeared.

Xiao Wu watched the whole thing, but didn't have time to say anything to offer advice.

He also knew about Battalion Commander Liang's family situation and greatly admired Li Wanqing's actions.

As expected of Battalion Commander Cheng's wife, her awareness is exceptionally high.

Li Wanqing took Aunt Li home, and Aunt Li smiled when she saw the doorway.

"It turns out our two houses aren't that far apart. I'll definitely come here often from now on."

Li Wanqing, of course, welcomed them.

Cheng Baichuan was playing with Nuonuo in the yard when he heard Li Wanqing's voice before he even opened the door.

When the door opened, Cheng Baichuan saw that besides Xiao Wu, Aunt Li was also behind her.

"Auntie?" Cheng Baichuan was somewhat surprised. "What's going on here...?"

Aunt Li visited the military region a few years ago. At that time, Lao Liang had just given birth to a daughter, and Aunt Li came to take care of him during his postpartum period. So, several of the acquaintances knew her.

On the contrary, because she had been hospitalized for two years, Aunt Li could hardly recognize Cheng Baichuan.

"Back then, I thought you were a dark-skinned, strong young man, but I never imagined you'd be like this now..."

Aunt Li sighed, "But it's good that you're alive. You're a bit fairer now, so you're a better match for Wanqing."

Cheng Baichuan: ...Was he really that outrageous before?

Li Wanqing suppressed a laugh and said, "Auntie, please wait a moment, I'll go get you some meat."

Aunt Li nodded, and then started teasing Nuonuo.

The moment she saw Nuonuo, she was reminded of her eldest granddaughter, who had been terribly harmed by that woman.

Li Wanqing came out quickly, holding a pound of meat in her hand. Aunt Li gave her the money and left with the meat.

Li Wanqing told Cheng Baichuan what happened on the train, which shocked Cheng Baichuan.

If it weren't for Aunt Li, his wife and daughter...

It seems I should treat Lao Liang better from now on and help him as much as I can.

While Li Wanqing and Xiao Wu were at the service station, Cheng Baichuan had already ordered someone to move firewood into the kitchen.

They also exchanged some honeycomb briquettes and bought a small stove.

Xiao Wu had just put down his things when Cheng Baichuan assigned him a new task. He didn't even have time to drink water before he had to leave again.

After Li Wanqing finished packing, she went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

This was their first meal cooked after moving into their new home, and Li Wanqing wanted to make it as lavish as possible.

Wash the large bones and blanch them. Then crack the bones in half and start stewing.

Although there isn't much meat, the aroma is naturally strong because it's stewed long enough.

The most difficult thing to handle was the pig offal. Although Li Wanqing knew how to make it, she couldn't stand the washing process.

Fortunately, Cheng Baichuan was perceptive enough to take over the work, which made Li Wanqing happy to have an easier time.

Cheng Baichuan seems alright so far.

With her daughter by her side, Li Wanqing felt that she could still make ends meet.

The two worked together while chatting, and their conversation eventually turned to Aunt Li's house.

"Didn't your comrade say when he'd be back?" Li Wanqing asked.

When she saw Aunt Li today, she felt that Aunt Li looked much worse, which showed that she hadn't been doing well these past few days.

Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "Missions are unpredictable; they're usually kept secret. They'll come back when it's time."

Li Wanqing: ...Truly, hearing your words is like hearing a profound conversation.

However, what Cheng Baichuan said is true. The military profession is special, and soldiers are destined not to be able to take care of their families like ordinary people.

She needs to be fully aware of this, otherwise her life will only get worse and worse.

"I hope they come back soon, so Aunt Li can have some peace of mind."

What they didn't expect was that before dinner was even ready, trouble struck the Liang family.
