"Aunt Mo, do you know Yang Wenbin?" Sisi tested the waters.
Mrs. Yang Shu was taken aback, looked at Sisi again, seeming to realize sothing, she asked doubtfully: "Aren’t you Ah Nan from the He Family?"
Sisi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am He Xuewen’s daughter, my dad and Uncle Yang are good friends!"
"Oh my, so you are Ah Nan, I often hear our mom ntioning you, I really didn’t expect this!" Mrs. Yang Shu exclaid with joy.
Of course, she knew about the He Family’s dicinal wine. If it weren’t for this wine, her husband’s old wounds wouldn’t have healed so quickly. Moreover, Mrs. Yang Shu had a thought that perhaps it was because Shushu had taken that dicinal wine, that he had stronger physical health than ordinary people, able to hold out for such a long ti until rescue arrived!
Actually, her thoughts were right. In a previous life, Yang Shu never waited until the rescue arrived. By the ti the reinforcents reached him, Yang Shu had already turned into a cold corpse. But in this life, due to Sisi’s appearance, his life was extended.
Mrs. Yang Shu affectionately grasped Sisi’s hand, continuously expressing her gratitude. After thinking for a while, Sisi took out a smaller ginseng, about a hundred years old, from her bag and handed it to Mrs. Yang Shu.
"Aunt Mo, I still have one piece of ginseng left. Give it to Brother Yang Shu to eat, it should be beneficial for his injuries."
In Sisi’s Space, there was plenty of ginseng; of course, if Yang Shu wasn’t a mber of the Yang Family, she wouldn’t have taken it out.
Mrs. Yang Shu was delighted as she looked at the ginseng in her hand. Having lived in the Northeast, she naturally knew the value of this wild ginseng, especially with its hundred years of age — it’s a treasure not easily bought even with money!
"Ah Nan, this is too precious, Aunt can’t accept this!" Although Mrs. Yang Shu was very eager for the ginseng, she still handed it back to Sisi.
"Aunt, please keep it. These two pieces of ginseng just ca from a ginseng harvester in the Northeast fetched by my Daddy. They were prepared to be used for making dicinal wine. Since I ca to the frontline this ti, I brought them along. It’s just Brother Yang Shu’s luck to have them available for use!"
Sisi forcefully stuffed the ginseng into Mrs. Yang Shu’s hands and without allowing her to be courteous anymore, she pulled Zhang Jie and Shangguan and bid farewell.
Mrs. Yang Shu held the ginseng, smiling yet sighing. She rembered the kindness of the He Family deep in her heart. She thought for a mont, tore a small root from the ginseng for Yang Shu to keep in his mouth, and then carefully wrapped the rest of the ginseng in a handkerchief to save, intending for her son to keep a piece in his mouth every day.
On their way back, Sisi and her company weren’t as hurried as when they had co. Before returning, she had called Beijing. Mr. Yun highly praised her, telling her not to rush back. Zhang Mingliu and Shangguan were granted a month’s leave, and Zhang Jie’s situation was the sa. The school authorities, hearing that their student had gone to the battlefield, were very accommodating.
The group thus traveled leisurely, stopping and browsing on their return to Beijing. Sisi dropped Zhang Jie off at her ho, and Shangguan followed Sisi back to the Tian Family.
Upon reaching ho, Granny Zhao pounced on her, examining her from head to toe. After seeing Sisi unhard, she started hitting Sisi lightly, crying and scolding, "You reckless girl, have you grown wings? Daring to sneak to the frontline? Are you trying to drive Granny to her grave? If sothing happened to you, Granny wouldn’t survive! I’ll beat you, you bold and reckless girl!"
Granny Zhao looked noticeably worn and her eyes were full of red vessels. While she cried and scolded fiercely, her hits were without any strength.
Sisi was overwheld with guilt; she hadn’t expected that her grandparents would find out, causing the old couple such worry and fear. She hurriedly spoke sweetly to comfort the old lady.
"Granny, aren’t I back safe and sound?"
"Granny, I’m quite skilled. Uncle praised , and he even said he would comnd for my actions, even Brother Hua didn’t get that!"
"Granny, I’m sorry, I won’t dare to do it again in the future, don’t cry!"
"Granny, I’m hungry!"
This trick still works, huh? When Granny Zhao heard her granddaughter was hungry, she quickly wiped her tears, irritably tapped Sisi’s head, and went to the kitchen to cook sothing for her.
"Granny, more at, please!" Sisi cheerfully called out from behind.
"Got it!" Granny Zhao replied gruffly.
After pacifying Granny Zhao, Sisi had to soothe the Old Man; luckily, he was easier to appease. Sisi just told him a few stories from the battlefield, and soon the Old Man’s eyes were shining brightly.
"Ah Nan, when did you learn to shoot?" The Old Man was quite surprised; his granddaughter could shoot and apparently, she was pretty good—capable of being a sniper.
"It was Uncle Luo who taught , he said I have a real talent for shooting, even suggested I beco a sniper, but I didn’t agree. Being a soldier is too tough!" Sisi replied with a grin.
"That’s right, what should a girl do being a soldier? War is n’s business, from now on keep away from the fuss!" Granny Zhao ca out with two steaming bowls of shredded at noodles, heavily loaded with at, and topped with two eggs each.
Slling the deliciousness of the noodles, Shangguan’s stomach growled loudly; she hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and started eating, slurping the soup noticeably reduced. Sisi picked more noodles and gave them to Shangguan; she also passed both eggs to her.
"Feifei, eat slowly, there’s more in the kitchen, be careful, it’s hot. How pitiful, a young girl going to the battlefield, eating and sleeping poorly, even facing bullets, it’s just tragic!"
Granny Zhao was extrely resentful about Sisi going to the battlefield, still grumbling about it. Shangguan looked up at Granny Zhao and said, "Defending our country is everyone’s responsibility!"
Granny Zhao was taken aback by Shangguan’s reply, turning away in frustration, while Sisi secretly laughed and picked even more shredded at for Shangguan.
The Old Man also laughed; his heart was relieved by his granddaughter’s safe return, and even more filled with pride. Ah Nan even earned a dal! Whose granddaughter could match Ah Nan’s courage?
After dinner, Sisi took Shangguan back to her dormitory, then went to report to Mr. Yun, bringing him quite a few bananas—she bought a lot on her return trip, filling the car with them.
Luo Datou grinned upon seeing Sisi, "Not bad, you didn’t embarrass ."
"It’s all thanks to Uncle’s excellent guidance!" Sisi sweetly sucked up to him, pleasing Luo Datou imnsely.
"Er Niu, Brother He and Brother Junzi are both fine, and they even earned dals too," Sisi told Niu Erniu.
Niu Erniu raised her hands to the sky in thanks, "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, protected by our ancestors!"
Mr. Yun didn’t inquire much, just briefly asked about her situation on the battlefield and didn’t say much else, telling her to rest at the Yun Mansion tonight.
After Sisi went to rest, Mr. Yun instructed Niu Erniu, "Keep an eye on Ah Nan tonight, having just returned from the battlefield, she might have nightmares."
Mr. Yun himself knew it from personal experience; human nerves are quite discerning, leaving you alone while you’re busy fighting, but once you return to a safe place, they start causing trouble.
