Chapter 167 Zhou Yuheng is on another mission
"I'm stuffed."
After the meal, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuheng were so busy taking care of her that they didn't eat much themselves.
"it is good."
Seeing that she was full and satisfied, Zhou's mother lowered her head and started eating with peace of mind.
After dinner, Zhou Yuheng was responsible for cleaning up, while Zhou's mother and Xu Qingluo took a walk in the yard to digest the food.
Zhou's mother thought about calling Zhou's father after she went to the army.
"Mom, I'll let Ah Heng go with you."
"to make."
After Zhou Yuheng finished washing the dishes, Xu Qingluo asked Zhou Yuheng to accompany Zhou's mother to the communications room to call Zhou's father.
"young married woman."
"Then eat some fruit and wait for us to come back."
Zhou Yuheng cut the apple for Xu Qingluo and brought it to the coffee table. Xu Qingluo smiled and nodded.
"understood."
Zhou Yuheng and his mother went out quickly. They were both worried about her being alone at home and wanted to go out early and come back early.
When Mr. Zhou received a call from his wife and heard about the situation of his two grandchildren today, he was very happy.
Father Zhou listened to Mother Zhou's vivid description of the two children's actions.
He was so envious.
"I'll be in Syracuse on November 3rd."
"On November 6th, we set off back to Kyoto."
"The ward and the delivery doctor have been arranged."
Father Zhou told Mother Zhou about his arrangements. Mother Zhou calculated the time and had an idea in her mind.
Her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, so it would be safer for her to return to Kyoto a month in advance to give birth.
After all, her twins are prone to premature birth, so she must prepare in advance.
"Okay, I'll talk to Xiaoheng later."
"Let him arrange his vacation."
"to make."
Zhou's father and mother chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
When they returned home, Zhou's mother told Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng about Zhou's father's arrangements.
"Mom, daughter-in-law, I have a mission the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Yuheng is going on a mission again. When Zhou's mother and Xu Qingluo heard that he was going on a mission, they felt a little worried.
Xu Qingluo is due to give birth in four months, and they are afraid that Zhou Yuheng will be on a mission and won't be able to get back in time.
"How long will it take?"
"not sure."
Zhou Yuheng also felt bad, as he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Kyoto with Xu Qingluo.
But military orders were like mountains, and he had to go.
"I'll try to be back before November."
"If I don't come back before November."
"You don't have to wait for me."
"You should go back to Kyoto with Dad first."
"I'll find a way to get back to Kyoto."
Xu Qingluo looked at Zhou Yuheng, and Zhou Yuheng looked at her with apology in his eyes.
Xu Qingluo saw his helplessness and guilt.
"It doesn't matter if it's late."
"But come back safely."
Xu Qingluo held Zhou Yuheng's hand, although Zhou Yuheng would feel regretful that he could not see the birth of the child.
But she was more worried that Zhou Yuheng would be distracted during the mission in order to rush back, which might lead to an accident.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoluo is right."
"I'm at home,"
"When you're on a mission, safety is the most important thing."
"The children can't be without a father."
Zhou's mother also felt regretful, but her son's safe return was more important than anything else.
"I know."
"I'll do it when it's safe."
"Complete the mission as soon as possible."
Zhou Yuheng shook Xu Qingluo's hand back. Xu Qingluo looked at him, and both the husband and wife had reluctance and helplessness in their eyes.
Seeing the young couple's reluctance to part, Zhou's mother sighed inwardly.
This is what a military wife is like. She has to bear all the pain and tears alone.
Thinking back to the first few years after she got married to Zhou's father, they had to separate often like this.
As a military wife, there are many things that men can't help with.
I can only rely on myself to get through it.
As someone who has experienced this, Zhou's mother fully understands her daughter-in-law's current mood.
As a mother-in-law, she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to be as isolated and helpless as she was.
So when her son is away on a mission, she must take good care of her daughter-in-law.
She would help as much as she could, and reduce her daughter-in-law's burden as much as she could.
Try not to let your daughter-in-law feel resentful or blamed when she thinks of these things in the future.
"Mom's here."
"With me at home, you can go on your mission with peace of mind."
"Mom promises to take good care of Xiao Luo."
Zhou's mother comforted the young couple and also helped to comfort Xu Qingluo.
With the comfort of Zhou's mother, who had experienced it herself, Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng felt less psychologically burdened.
"Thank you, Mom."
"We're family, why should we be polite?"
With Zhou's mother around, Zhou Yuheng and Xu Qingluo felt much more at ease.
Soon it was the day that Zhou Yuheng was going to go out on a mission, and he left before dawn.
When Zhou's mother heard the door closing, she woke up from her sleep.
She walked out of the living room and saw that the shoes Zhou Yuheng had originally placed next to the shoe cabinet were no longer there.
Zhou's mother was naturally worried. This was her only son, how could she not worry?
But when she thought of Xu Qingluo who was pregnant, she cheered up.
She can't be discouraged. If she can't stand up, what will happen to her daughter-in-law?
After Zhou's mother adjusted her mood, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Xu Qingluo woke up at around eight o'clock. When Zhou's mother heard the noise in the room, she hurried to knock on the door.
"Xiao Luo, are you awake?"
"woke up."
Zhou's mother did not enter the room without permission. She pushed the door open only after getting Xu Qingluo's response.
"Xiao Luo, let me get you some water to wash your face."
"Mom, I'll just go to the yard and wash up."
She had to brush her teeth anyway, and Zhou Yuheng had helped her pour out the mouthwash in the house.
But Zhou Yuheng was not at home, and she didn't want Zhou's mother to serve her.
"Okay, Mom will help you go."
"Just to help you go to the toilet."
"it is good."
Xu Qingluo went to the yard to wash up, went to the toilet, and then went into the house to have breakfast.
"Xiao Luo, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Mom will make it for you."
"Mom, I want to eat something sour."
When Zhou's mother heard that she wanted to eat something sour, she quickly thought about what ingredients she had at home that could be used to make sour food.
"Then mom will make you sweet and sour pork tenderloin."
“There are some pickles too.”
"We'll just have to make do with the white flour buns."
"it is good."
Xu Qingluo smiled and nodded when he heard what Zhou's mother said.
If it were in the past, Zhou's mother would definitely not say this.
But after spending a long time with Xu Qingluo, Zhou's mother also learned the Versailles rhetoric.
These white flour buns that ordinary people would not be willing to eat are now just a makeshift food in Zhou's mother's mouth.
Of course, Zhou's mother was just joking.
She was afraid that Xu Qingluo would feel bad because of Zhou Yuheng's mission.
Wanting to make her happy is not really that extravagant and wasteful.
"That's right, Mom."
"My package and letter should arrive today."
"Mom will get it for you later."
"I have to go too. I need to sign the withdrawal slip."
"Okay, then Mom will go with you."
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their breakfast, they packed up briefly and went to the army gate.
Sure enough, the withdrawal slip from Kyoto Newspaper arrived, and there were also many packages sent from different places.
Some were sent from Kyoto, some from Hai City, and some from the south and northwest.
