The office was already empty, with the other officers out for training. Being new, Mu Qiancheng temporarily had no suitable position in the regiment, so he appeared relatively idle.
He thought he would remain idle for a while. Unexpectedly, the regimental commander assigned him such an important task today.
Mu Qiancheng felt a little uneasy inside. He knew the task was challenging. But he, Mu Qiancheng, is someone who, as long as he wants to, has never failed in any task. This was true before, it is true now, and it will be the same in the future.
Gradually calming down, Mu Qiancheng sat in the empty office, quickly drafting his plan.
By the time he finished writing the plan, it was already 11:30 AM. The comrades in training had all returned, so he put away the plan and joined them for a meal.
After eating, he remembered that his young wife would accompany her father to the second hospital next Monday, and that he had promised his wife to arrange someone to pick them up.
He then took the time to call an old friend, asking him to prepare a car to pick up the group from Jiang Family Village.
Once everything was arranged, Mu Qiancheng called Jiang Xue.
Hearing the call, Jiang Xue immediately handed the child to Bai Yuhua and went next door to take the call.
"Wife, I’ve arranged for the car. It will be at Jiang Family Village on Monday morning to pick you up. You need to prepare things at home in advance, understand?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to Mom and Dad."
"And about the child. Otherwise, you can leave them at home for Mom and Dad to watch." This text is hosted at novel•fire.net
"That’s what I was thinking."
Jiang Xue actually had her own plans. This time, since her father would be undergoing surgery and staying in the hospital for a while, she thought that, after the surgery when her father was out of danger, she would go look at houses.
If there was a house available, she could buy it directly and then bring her in-laws over. This way, she could see the child every day and take care of her hospitalized father.
Of course, she didn’t tell Mu Qiancheng her plans. Such matters were not convenient to discuss over the phone, especially since it wasn’t their phone.
Time flew by, and soon it was Monday. Jiang Xue handed the child to her in-laws and left early for Jiang Family Village herself.
Upon reaching Jiang Family Village, Jiang Xue helped her parents pack some things and then waited for Mu Qiancheng’s friend to arrive.
"Xue’er, your father’s surgery will cost a lot of money. Do you really have that much money?" Mrs. Jiang was still a bit worried, fearing that Jiang Xue wouldn’t have enough money, leading to disappointment.
"Mom, don’t worry, we definitely have enough for Dad’s surgery." Jiang Xue smiled and comforted her mother. She knew what her mother was worried about, but she didn’t want to tell her the truth to prevent her from getting scared.
Moreover, she was planning to surprise her parents. She had already thought it through: after Father Jiang’s surgery, they wouldn’t return to Jiang Family Village but live in Xu City instead.
As for the fields at home, she had a plan to rent them out for others to farm.
"That’s good!" Hearing Jiang Xue’s confident words, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved and prepared a simple breakfast for the family.
Just after finishing breakfast, the sound of a car honking came from outside the courtyard. Shortly after, there was a knock at the courtyard gate.
Jiang Xue went to open the gate and saw the village chief arriving, followed by a small car.
