Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 509: 509 mission

As long as nothing goes wrong at this time, their emotions are simply not within her consideration.

Su Yuanyuan drove home; at this time, Tan Shaoting wasn’t off work yet.

The four of them turned on the radio and listened to the broadcast while Su Yuanyuan started preparing dinner.

The three children had already discussed in the car that they wanted to eat wontons for dinner.

So, Su Yuanyuan started preparing. Eating wontons in this hot summer is indeed just the children’s idea.

However, it was fine, as Su Yuanyuan would try her best to satisfy the children’s food preferences.

She didn’t think she was spoiling the children.

Actually, she knew she was too indulgent with the three children. But in her past life, she loved children. In this life, she got three at once, mainly because they were so lovable.

When Tan Shaoting returns, he’ll cook the wontons.

Before dinner was finished, Zhou Cong came knocking.

To be honest, he came over with a sense of trepidation. He really mustered his courage to come.

Of course, Tan Shaoting was unhappy. But he also knew that if it weren’t serious, Zhou Cong wouldn’t have dared to come over.

”Leader, Leader Zeng called and asked you to call him back immediately.”

Tan Shaoting finished the last sip of his soup, ”Let’s go.”

The three kids knew when Dad was leaving, he couldn’t take them out to play.

However, they didn’t make a fuss and instead said goodbye to Dad.

Su Yuanyuan finished tidying up and took the three children out to play.

The three children had gotten used to going to the training ground every evening, and because of past experiences, although small, they wanted to learn kung fu to protect Mom in the future. So, they went straight there.

They practiced the moves Dad did with them every day. Su Yuanyuan watched them from the side, finding it quite amusing.

”Mom, do you want to join us?”

Su Yuanyuan heard the children’s calls and joined them.

In the past, Tan Shaoting would accompany them in training. Today, just the three of them felt unusual.

Su Yuanyuan exercised with the three of them, which made them more enthusiastic. They felt like little teachers.

They kept going until the end, but no little friends joined them.

It wasn’t until midnight that Tan Shaoting returned.

Seeing his wife and children sleeping soundly, Tan Shaoting took a shower and lay down in the middle of them.

Looking to the left, he saw his beloved woman. Looking to the right were his blood, his children.

The next day, the family of five was having breakfast.

”Yuanyuan, I need to leave for a while.”

Su Yuanyuan knew something troublesome must have happened; otherwise, he wouldn’t be going out personally.

”Be careful on the road. When are you leaving?”

”I’m leaving shortly. I’ll be gone for about a month.”

”By then, the kids would have started school. Alright, nothing is more important than safety.”

”I know that. You need to be careful taking care of the three of them alone.”

”I know that. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them.”

The kids understood. They knew Dad was leaving again, and they felt reluctant.

Tan Shaoting held the three of them, feeling content.

”The four of us will move in today.”

”Yuanyuan, it’s actually not safe outside. It’s better here.”

”Alright, then we’ll wait until the kids start school before we move.”

After eating, Tan Shaoting tidied up the house, hugged the three kids again, and finally picked up Su Yuanyuan, kissed her on the lips, ”Wait for me at home.”

”Okay, the four of us will wait for you.”

This time, he didn’t let her follow, suggesting it’s quite dangerous.

Tan Shaoting left with Hu Zi. He thought Hu Zi drove too slowly, so he drove himself.

Hu Zi wasn’t upset about being deemed slow; rather, he thought it was good. He naturally tended to drive slower.

He was thrilled that the leader took him out this time. The leader never used to take any of them.

Recalling the envious look of his comrades, he couldn’t help but want to laugh loudly.

Danger? Which mission isn’t dangerous?

Besides, being by the leader’s side feels reassuring, doesn’t it?

Remembering the times on missions with the leader, they felt like they were just helping out, not leading.

After Tan Shaoting left, Su Yuanyuan obediently stayed at the garrison, playing and studying with the kids every day.

The three of them, likely because of the Spiritual Spring Water, were especially smart and learned things quickly.

Twelve days had passed since Tan Shaoting left. The kids still asked daily when Dad would be back.

The four of them had just learned a new poem when there was a knock on the door.

It was Tan Shaoting’s orderly.

”Sister-in-law, the enamel factory called, said your old friend had a workplace injury and was hospitalized.”

”Okay, I understand.”

Zhou Cong felt a bit troubled but decided to say, ”Sister-in-law, the leader said before leaving that if anything happens outside, I should handle it. Let me go to the hospital and check.”

Su Yuanyuan was already suspicious. Chunsheng didn’t know Tan Shaoting’s phone number here, even Li Ziwen didn’t know his exact workplace. How could they call here?

”Mr. Zhou, I think you should go to the enamel factory.” Even if nothing happened to Chunsheng, since someone knows of Chunsheng’s issue, it will be troublesome.

”Okay, I understand, sister-in-law.” Zhou Cong nodded quickly, relieved that she didn’t insist on going out herself.

Su Yuanyuan was speechless; was she so unreasonable? Was she someone who couldn’t sit still?

After Zhou Cong left, Su Yuanyuan contemplated whether it was a mistake to let Chunsheng come over. After all, Tan Shaoting’s work was indeed very dangerous.

Worry wouldn’t help, but she couldn’t help but brood over the matter.

Even with the children around, she had moments of distraction.

Two hours later, Zhou Cong came over.

”Sister-in-law, you were right, your friend is perfectly fine. I also advised him to avoid going out.

I went to the hospital as well and found nothing there.

Rest assured, sister-in-law, I’ve got people watching.”

”Okay, we need to find out who did this.”

After Zhou Cong left, Su Yuanyuan didn’t relax. This matter seemed very unusual.

Should Chunsheng leave? Or go back?

Regretting having found a job for Chunsheng, she worried it might harm him.

It seemed she and Tan Shaoting were suited to be by themselves, without friends or family.

After Zhou Cong returned, he discussed the matter with Li Changmao.

”Keep an eye on it, the leader isn’t here, and if something happens, we won’t be able to stop her from rushing out.”
