Back To The 80s-Chapter 575 - 567: Going Home_1

Min Zhonghua heard Lu Zhanguo recount the situation and slammed his hand on the table in anger, saying, "Damn, those bastards, how dare they treat the army this way? What are your thoughts?"

Lu Zhanguo said, "I suspect that Xu Yanhong’s so-called undercover identity is just for the use of some people within us, and the so-called material, I’m afraid, they want to retrieve and destroy." Then he shared his plan once more.

Min Zhonghua nodded, "I will talk to Commander He about this. You needn’t get involved recently. I will take care of it and apply for your plan as soon as possible. Rest assured, we won’t let a threat to the group freely harm us any longer."

"However, you might be inconvenient for a while. It requires process. I believe that there is a powerful backer behind Wang Wenbing, otherwise how could he have the ability to deploy such activity and even colluding with the police?" Min Zhonghua added.

Lu Zhanguo nodded, he could use this time to spend with his child.

After three more days in the hospital, Gu Xiaobei finally managed to get Mo Wang discharged. He Qin pulled Gu Xiaobei aside and whispered, "When you go home, try to talk about happy things with Mo Wang, interact more. Mo Wang witnessed death firsthand, there hasn’t been any reaction yet, but we don’t know if it may cause psychological trauma to the child in the future."

Gu Xiaobei nodded; she planned to do nothing else recently, just to accompany the two children.

Mo Wang sat obediently on the hospital bed, watching her mom and Aunt He Qin whispering on the side. Her lips curled up in happiness, finally, she could go home.

Wen Xiuqing insisted on letting Mo Wang live in the small courtyard with Gu Xiaobei and her family after being discharged, so the lively atmosphere could help Mo Wang forget about the unpleasant things faster.

Lu Zhanguo came to pick up Mo Wang and Gu Xiaobei home. Looking at Mo Wang sitting on the hospital bed, he reached out and patted Mo Wang’s head, "Mo Wang, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere today?"

Mo Wang, with her eyes wide open in surprise, wondered why dad always asks this question. She shook her head, "Dad, I don’t have a fever anymore. Let’s go home quickly. I miss Xiaopang, Doudou, Betta, and Schuck."

Lu Zhanguo picked up Mo Wang, laughing, "Okay, we’re going home."

...

Ji Xiangdong had specifically taken a day off, to welcome Mo Wang home.

Old Ji also came in a hurry, wanting to see the young hero Mo Wang. He kept praising Lu Songyuan, "Such a good kid, so smart in such a young age, she would undoubtedly be a great scout in the future."

Lu Songyuan, with a changed perspective because of recent events, shook his head, "No matter what Mo Wang does in the future, she doesn’t necessarily have to be a soldier."

Old Ji took out an ancient jade pendant and hung it around Mo Wang’s neck, "As the old saying goes, jade can keep you safe, I hope our Mo Wang will always be safe."

Mo Wang curiously touched the smooth, green jade pendant, which was carved with a strange animal she didn’t recognize.

Xiaopang leaned in, also curious, saying, "Brother, let me touch."

Old Ji looked at the two children and chuckled, "There were originally two of these jade pendants, they are precious family heirlooms. My son has the other one, and I secretly kept this one."

Lu Songyuan, hearing this, immediately said, "Such a precious thing, how can you give it to a child? Please take it back."

Old Ji waved his hand, "How much longer will I live, why should I keep it?"

Ever since Mo Wang came in, Wen Xiuqing was holding her and didn’t want to let go, she kept saying, "See how skinny the child has become, Songyuan, take some money and go to the neighbor’s house to order some goat’s milk."

Mo Wang leaned comfortably in her grandmother’s arms, allowing Xiaopang to touch the jade pendant on her chest.

While touching it, Xiaopang asked softly, "Brother, does it still hurt?"

These days grandmother always cries secretly. When she asked when brother would come home, they lied to her, always saying it would be soon.

Today she saw brother come back, she thought brother must be hurt, that’s why he hasn’t been home for so long.

Mo Wang shook her head, "I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt anymore." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Xiaopang pouted, "I will be good from now on, I won’t let brother get hurt anymore."

Gu Xiaobei looked at the two children with tearful eyes, believing that even if they forget what happened today, their bond will only become stronger in future.

Lu Zhanguo and his family stayed in the small courtyard that night.

Xiaopang sat on the kang bed, she didn’t want to go to sleep and kept pestering Mo Wang.

Gu Xiaobei thought that Mo Wang just recovered, so she let Mo Wang lie under the blanket.

Xiaopang was lying next to Mo Wang with her big round eyes open, she was copying her mom touching Mo Wang’s forehead, then touching her own. Sometimes she would help Mo Wang pull up his small blanket which was already well-covered.

"Brother, I have candies, do you want some?" Once Gu Xiaobei went out to pour some water, Xiaopang leaned next to Mo Wang and whispered.

Mo Wang shook his head, "I don’t want it, you can have it."

Xiaopang checked the door, mom hadn’t come back. She took out a handful of candies from her pocket, about five or six of them, and placed them next to Mo Wang’s pillow, whispering, "These are from grandma, I saved them for you, you eat them." The past few days, each time Xiaopang cried, Wen Xiuqing would give her a candy to pacify her, each time Xiaopang secretly saved them in her pocket, only ate one when she really craved the sweetness.

Mo Wang looked at the colorful wrappers and her eyes sparkled, she nodded, "I’ll have one."

"Okay, brother, I’ll peel it for you." Xiaopang excitedly grabbed a candy and clumsily opened it and stuffed it into Mo Wang’s mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Xiaopang asked eagerly with her big eyes open.

Mo Wang nodded, "It’s sweet, don’t believe me? You can try it."

Xiaopang quickly peeled another one, stuffed it in her mouth, chewing vigorously, and soon broke into a sweet smile, this candy tasted much sweeter than the one she had a few days ago.

Leaning on the door, Gu Xiaobei listened to the siblings’ conversation, feeling a sense of sweetness and warmth in her heart and she couldn’t help but smile.

As Lu Zhanguo entered the room, he saw Gu Xiaobei leaning against the door, her smile bloomed with happiness, he quietly approached.

Gu Xiaobei placed a finger on her lips asking for silence and pointed inside the room, prompting Lu Zhanguo to have a look.

Peering through the crack in the door, Lu Zhanguo saw Xiaopang kneeling next to Mo Wang’s pillow, her face sweet with a smile, peeling another candy, and stuffing it into Mo Wang’s mouth, she laughed "Brother, have another one. Mom will be back in a moment and won’t let you eat candy then."

Seeing the heartwarming interaction between the two children, Lu Zhanguo couldn’t help but chuckle softly. He gently pulled Gu Xiaobei into his arms, waiting for the children to finish their stolen treats before entering the room.

After the kids fell asleep, Gu Xiaobei couldn’t help but cuddle Mo Wang, continually touching her hand, her face. With the surprise of having her back, there is still some unease.

Lu Zhanguo embraced her from behind and softly said, "Don’t be so nervous, nothing will happen again, we will always be together."

Gu Xiaobei couldn’t help but ask the doubt in her heart, "What kind of illness did Mo Wang have exactly? That old man cured it just like that."
