C84 (1/2)

Zhan Fei's father, Zhan Jiuwu, had already returned to the army with his troops in the afternoon.

Actually, if it wasn't for Zhan Fei's marriage, Zhan Xueman wouldn't have been able to invite him down for the past few days.

Even if he wasn't in a rush right now, taking leave wasn't an easy thing to do.

In fact, on the second day of Zhan Fei's marriage, he rushed back to the army. Although it wasn't too far from their home, it wasn't easy to come back every day.

While they were eating, Wang Shufen had been watching Zhan Fei the entire time. She realized that he had been quite absent-minded when he was eating.

She knew there was something really wrong with the two of them, but she couldn't ask. Besides, she had to go back to the army tomorrow.

Halfway through their meal, Wang Shufen told Grandma Zhan and the others, ”Dad, mom, I'm going back to the military tomorrow morning. If anything happens, I'll be back.”

”Your work is more important, there is nothing to do at home. Even if you want to buy things for the new year, Gao Yang is still at home. Don't worry.”

Grandma Zhan also knew, how could there be so much time to rest at work? Even if it was her eldest son's wife's job, it was not an important department.

However, she couldn't be absent for too long, so Grandma Zhan especially understood her eldest daughter-in-law.

”However, you all need to be careful when you go to work. If you want to get involved in other things, it's too chaotic outside.” Grandma Zhan worriedly told her eldest daughter-in-law.

She was really afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would be involved in other things.

”Yes, Mom, I know. Don't worry, we will be careful. Besides, the army is not that chaotic.”

Wang Shufen also knew that things had not been peaceful recently, and that the army was always in a state of panic.

Actually, Wang Shufen was also afraid that these things would implicate them, but they had to go to work, so they couldn't take a long leave of absence!

”Hai, you guys have to be careful!” Grandma Zhan was still worried. She still had a worried look on her face.

”Alright, don't worry. Boss knows what to do!” Zhan Jianjun hurriedly consoled his wife when he saw her distressed look.

”Ai, am I not worried?” Grandma Zhan mumbled to herself.

”What are you worried about? Hurry up and eat. The food will get cold in a while.” Zhan Jianjun didn't want to see his old wife again. He was so worried that he couldn't even eat anymore.

”Alright, I understand.” Grandma Zhan also realized that she was worrying too much.

Zhan Fei only watched as they chatted. He didn't say anything because he didn't know what to say.

His mind was filled with thoughts about what he would do if Gao Yang left him.

”Zhan Fei, what's wrong with you? What are you daydreaming for? Don't you want to eat?”

Wang Shufen shouted worriedly when she saw Zhan Fei standing there with a dazed look on his face while holding the bowl.

”Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about how many days Gao Yang and I have left for our vacation.”

Zhan Fei casually gave a reason to deal with his mother.

Zhan Fei tried to hide the matter between him and Gao Yang, but he could only come up with a more reasonable excuse to get away with it.

Wang Shufen knew her son's temper, so she didn't insist. As long as Zhan Fei didn't want to say it, then even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to get any information out of him.

”Oh, then you must properly accompany your grandparents and try to get us to hug your grandson next year.”

Wang Shufen thought that even if the two of them bickered, it shouldn't be a big deal. It would be fine after a while.

Zhan Fei lowered his head, hiding the bitterness in his mouth. He couldn't tell his mother if Gao Yang wanted to leave.

When that happens, forget about being a grandson, even a grandson's mother would be gone.

”Alright, I understand.” No matter what Wang Shufen said, Zhan Fei agreed to it all.

”Alright, hurry up and eat!” Grandma Zhan looked at her eldest son's wife as she spoke to Zhan Fei. Zhan Fei hadn't even eaten a few mouthfuls of rice before she quickly said this.

”Got it, Grandmother,” Zhan Fei replied obediently as he stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

”Alright, have some.” As she spoke, Grandma Zhan placed a pair of chopsticks into Zhan Fei's bowl.

”You eat too, Grandma.” Zhan Fei saw that his grandma was only looking at him, giving him some food. He had just given his grandma a few chopsticks, which his grandma liked to eat.

”Aiya, my grandson is still the best.” Grandma Zhan happily started to eat.

Finally, under the disguise of Zhan Fei, the meal ended.

”Grandma, grandpa, mom, you guys eat slowly, I'm going up first.” Zhan Fei wanted to go upstairs after he finished eating because he was afraid that his family would talk about him and Gao Yang.

”Alright, go ahead. When Gao Yang wakes up, I'll let her cook something for herself.”

Grandma Zhan told her grandson.

”Un, I understand. Grandma, I want to go upstairs first.” With that, Zhan Fei walked upstairs.

Wang Shufen looked at her son's back and felt a bit uncomfortable. However, she knew that bickering was only a matter of two people. One person couldn't argue, so she didn't blame Gao Yang alone.

However, this matter wasn't something that she, a mother-in-law, could ask. The matter between the two could only be resolved by the couple themselves.

Wang Shufen ate a few mouthfuls as well. After finishing the bowl of food, she put down the bowl in her hands. However, she did not leave. She was still waiting to clean up the bowl with her mother-in-law!

”You should go rest as well. I'll take care of it myself.” Grandma Zhan said to her eldest daughter-in-law as she watched her eldest son's wife wait by the table.

”Mom, I guess I'll just wait here with you. The two of us will be faster.” Wang Shufen did not leave but remained seated.

Grandma Zhan didn't say anything else. After they were all done eating, Wang Shufen started to clean up the table.

The rest of the food would not be thrown away now, it would be a waste of food.

Even for a family like theirs, they would not throw away the rest of their food. Therefore, Wang Shufen arranged the rest of the food into the cupboard.
