Chapter 133

Inside the doctor's office.

Wen Ci inquired about Huo Jingyuan's health, smiling gently as she asked, "Is it ideal for Huo Jingyuan to be discharged this week?"

"To be honest, we suggested that Commander Huo stay in the hospital for a few more days, but he said he must be discharged next Monday, and today is already Thursday."

Wen Ci remained silent.

Normally, after the stitches are removed, it takes about a week of rest before he can be discharged from the hospital. Huo Jingyuan is the youngest regimental-level cadre in Northwest China, and his safety is of paramount importance.

But even the hospital couldn't persuade them otherwise.

Wen Ci sighed and asked, "So, when I go home on Monday, is there anything I need to take precautions against?"

"Keep it dry, and go to the military hospital immediately if anything happens."

Wen Ci nodded, indicating that he understood.

She plans to go south with Xu Jinghe tonight and should be able to return before Monday.

Wen Ci thanked him and left.

The atmosphere in the ward was cheerful and harmonious.

Xiao Chuan felt the familiar feeling of home he hadn't experienced in a long time. He sat on the edge of the bed, clenching his fists. "My sister said that Uncle is a very capable soldier, and I want to be a soldier when I grow up."

Huo Jingyuan: "..."

Seeing Huo Jingyuan's silent expression, Xu Jinghe chuckled and deliberately asked, "Why does Xiaochuan call her 'Auntie Sister'?"

"You're young and beautiful, sister."

"Then why doesn't he call me brother?" Xu Jinghe continued to ask.

"He looks like my uncle."

Huo Jingyuan's face darkened further. He raised his hand and pinched Xiao Chuan's tender little face, pretending to be fierce, and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me 'sister,' you have to call me 'auntie.'"

Call Wenci "sister" and him "uncle".

This messes up the generational order; it's practically turning the heavens upside down.

"No," Ogawa pouted in response.

Wen Ci returned to the ward and overheard their conversation. She walked to the bedside, patted Xiao Chuan's head, and smiled broadly. "Don't listen to this weird uncle." Xiao Chuan replied, "I won't listen."

Huo Jingyuan: "..."

Xu Jinghe joked, "You two love children so much, why don't you have one soon?"

They had always planned to have children.

She is also actively trying to conceive.

But who could blame Huo Jingyuan for getting injured on a mission?

Huo Jingyuan coaxed, "Your uncle and I are childhood friends, so you can call me uncle too. My sister is my wife, so do you think it's better to call her sister or aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaochuan fell into deep thought.

Anyone can call Wen Ci "sister," but only he can call her "aunt," and the title "aunt" even includes the word "mother." He likes Aunt Wen Ci!

"Hello, aunt."

Huo Jingyuan then asked, "So what will you call her from now on?"

Xiao Chuan looked at Wen Ci and greeted her softly, "Hello, Auntie."

Wen Ci remained utterly speechless.

With the visiting time about to end, Wen Ci said, "I probably won't be able to visit you in the hospital for the next few days. I plan to go south with Xu Jinghe."

What are you going south for?

Wen Ci's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Let's do business!"

In the 1980s, when everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt, trade in the south had officially begun.

Wen Ci clearly remembers that there was a film in the 21st century that depicted the prosperity of Shanghai in the 1980s, while the Northwest was poor at the same time and planted windbreak trees.

She wanted to see for herself the wealth and prosperity of the southern region.

Huo Jingyuan frowned. He knew from Wen Ci's time with the army in the Northwest that she wanted to do business. He could support her small-scale business in the North, but the economy in the South was developing too fast.

Countless people have lost everything by going into business, and many have suffered significant losses.

Xu Jinghe explained, "I have a batch of outdated goods piled up in my factory. My sister-in-law said we could take them up north to sell. I'm thinking it might be worth it."
