Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 734 - Chapter 734 Chapter 733 Picking Up Sister-in-law_1

Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Picking Up Sister-in-law_1 Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Picking Up Sister-in-law_1 After Lu Dongxin left, Huo Beijiang locked himself in his office for an entire afternoon. During that time, Lu Jin had knocked once but was met with a reprimanding scolding. After that, no one dared to knock again.

It seemed as if everything had returned to the time when Huo Dongfeng had just died.

As evening fell, the office door remained unopened. Lu Jin, worried and unsure of what to do, cursed Lu Dongxin countless times in his mind.

“What’s wrong with the Commander?” Ning Di asked after finishing training, looking at the closed office door. Inside, even the lights weren’t turned on. It was pitch black. “He was completely fine in the morning. What happened?”

“It’s all because of Lu Dongxin. I don’t know what she told boss, but after she left, he became like this.”

Ning Di couldn’t guess what Lu Dongxin had said, but he knew it must have something to do with Huo Dongfeng. His death had deeply affected their Commander. Plus, there must be some other unknown reasons involved.

“He hasn’t eaten dinner yet!” Lu Jin lamented. “I’ve really failed in my duty as a son.”

Ning Di gave him a disdainful look, “What are you talking about?”

“I start to miss Snow Eagle. Even Captain Tu Cheng seems plainly adorable now. Also our Team Commander and Captain Tu Lou.” The more Lu Jin thought about it, the more he missed Snow Eagle.

Back when they were in Snow Eagle, their boss was responsible for executing high-difficulty tasks and staking his reputation for the country. It was nothing like here, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and the more issues there were.

Besides, their boss also had to handle family affairs. The complexity of it had almost confused him.

Back in Snow Eagle, the boss never involved himself in these messy affairs. If trouble occurred, it was thus handed to Captain Jiang or their Commander to clean up the mess. It’s not like now! He’s fortunate he’s not the one clearing up the mess for others.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Lu Jin could see these things, let alone the perceptive Ning Di.

“Stop talking!” Ning Di turned and walked away.

“Where are you going?”

“To pick up sister-in-law.” With those words, Ning Di left.

Academic Quarter–New City Garden

After dinner, Nan Fei called Dai Jinhai and arranged to go to the gallery together the next day. Then she and Jiang Yang jointly made a phone call home. These days, Jiang Yang had learned to make calls by himself and liked to call home when idle.

Sometimes when his parents weren’t home, his grandparents would take the calls.

The food factory had officially started production, and Jiang Dechun was so busy he had moved to live on factory premises.

Nan Fei estimated in her heart that it wouldn’t be long before the whole family moved there.

After she dialed, the call was immediately answered. Zhuanzhuan’s excited voice came through, “Hello? Sister, is that you?”

Nan Fei, who was on speakerphone, sat in front of it and smiled as she said: “Yes, it’s me!”

“Sister, why haven’t you called home for so long? We all miss you.”

“I was too busy these past few days. Are Mom and Dad at home?”

“No, right now I’m the only one at home.” Zhuanzhuan’s tone dropped a few notches. “Our family is too busy these days. Mom is learning how to keep accounts, and combined with you and Jiang Yang not being home, their return has been infrequent.”

Zhuanzhuan’s finger idly circled the telephone cord, his calm young face displayed a touch of complication. At the same time, he quietly made a decision in his heart.

“What about you? Aren’t you scared all alone at home?”

“Not at all! Sister, have you forgotten? When we were little and Mom and Dad were collecting fodder in the mountains, didn’t we stay at home by ourselves?” Zhuanzhuan seemed to remember something and began to laugh happily.

“Back then, Mom and Dad were afraid that we would wander off, so they directly locked us in the house. And Sister, you wanted to go out and play, so you would stand on a stool and peer over the courtyard wall. But then you’d get scared at night and wouldn’t dare to sleep.”
