Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 307 Be extra careful around strangers
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Gu Jianing asked as she watched him put his hat back on.

Sheng Zexi came over, pulled Gu Jianing aside, and sat her down on the bed.

"Ningning, you and the children need to be more careful lately."

"Ok?"

It was only after Sheng Zexi explained the situation that Gu Jianing learned the reason.

It turned out that Sheng Zexi received a notification from his superiors that a group of drug lords seemed to have fled to Huansha Island.

Gu Jianing's heart tightened slightly upon hearing this.

"sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but it's possible. Based on their escape route at the time, fleeing to Huansha Island is one possibility, about a one-in-three chance."

"So, there's a two-thirds chance they'll flee to other places?"

"Well, there's a one-third chance, or even a one-third chance, that this group is extremely vicious, has committed many crimes, and even has countless lives on their hands."

"According to reliable intelligence, they were also carrying guns, and even a considerable amount of bombs and drugs."

Gu Jianing frowned as she listened.

"The leadership hasn't made an official announcement about this, for fear of causing panic. However, they have asked everyone to warn their families to be careful recently, especially to be wary of strangers," Sheng Zexi said.

“However…” Seeing Gu Jianing’s worried look, Sheng Zexi patted her head and said, “As long as you stay in the military region, you will be safe.”

"Even if they were incredibly bold, they wouldn't come directly into the military region; otherwise, they'd be courting death."

"Well, I know."

So, after speaking with Sheng Zexi, Gu Jianing called Xingxing and Yueyue over.

She didn't reveal the group's identities, but said that some bad guys might have fled to Huansha Island recently.

They were instructed to stay within the military region without their parents' supervision.

Furthermore, avoid contact with strangers.

“Mom, we know.” Xingxing and Yueyue nodded solemnly.

For the next period of time, Gu Jianing clearly felt a tense and oppressive atmosphere both inside the military region and outside.

Fortunately, the tense and oppressive atmosphere finally dissipated after a week.

"Ningning, don't worry. The leader said that they received intelligence that this group of people should have fled to the next province. Someone saw traces of them in the next province, and currently, the next province is conducting a secret manhunt."

Gu Jianing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

No matter where those people flee, they must be caught.

But not being on Huansha Island, I was finally able to put my mind at ease.

Indeed, that was the case. The next day, Gu Jianing clearly felt that the atmosphere had become more relaxed.

Gu Jianing went to work at the hospital, and along the way she could feel everyone chatting and laughing, as if they had finally put their minds at ease.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jianing went to work with her seven-month pregnant belly.

Sheng Zexi went to participate in training.

Xingxing and Yueyue were sent to a kindergarten within the military region.

At that moment, Xingxing and Yueyue were whispering to each other in the kindergarten.

"Brother, Mom's birthday is in a week!" Yueyue whispered in her brother's ear.

Xingxing looked at her younger sister, "What do you want to say?"

"Brother, did you prepare a gift for Mom?"

Xingxing shook her head. "No."

"Do you want to prepare a gift for Mom?" Yueyue asked.

Xingxing nodded almost without hesitation.

Their parents always prepare gifts for them on their birthdays.

He remembered that his father had prepared a gift for his mother on her birthday last year.

But they didn't.

Xingxing remembers that when they were a little over one year old, they saw their father give their mother a gift, and their mother was very happy.

They felt guilty for not preparing a gift for their mother, so they and their sister cried.

Finally, Mom let them kiss her, saying that the kiss was their birthday gift to her. As long as they are safe and healthy, growing up is the best birthday gift for Mom.

But the brother and sister knew that their mother was trying to comfort them.

Although they were comforted at the time by going along with their mother's wishes.

But they always kept this in mind.

And this year, my mother's birthday is coming up again.

Actually, Xingxing had been thinking about what gift to give her mother for the past week.

but……

"The gift I want to buy can't be found at the supply and marketing cooperative inside the military region," Xingxing said.

"Me too, then, brother..."

Yueyue's eyes darted around. "Brother, should we sneak out?"

"No, Mom said before that there are bad people, so we can't leave the military area." Xingxing's little face was serious.

"But brother, I heard that the bad guy isn't here."

The stars hesitated; this was indeed true.

but……

"We can't get out; the guards at the military area gate won't let us out."

Not only will they not be allowed to go out, but they will also tell their parents.

"Then let's not go that way."

"Ok?"

Yueyue leaned closer and whispered in Xingxing's ear, "I know, there's a dog hole over there in the grove, you can crawl out."

Xingxing seemed thoughtful; this was indeed a solution.

but……

Xingxing was still somewhat hesitant.

But in the end, wanting to buy a birthday present for his mother prevailed.

“We can go, but it can’t be just the two of us. We have to bring Hongying and Leiting with us.”

Hongying and Leiting are Amber's two children, and they are quite lively and active.

As for why they didn't ask for amber, well, of course, amber would definitely not agree.

But they can secretly take Hongying and Leiting away.

Xingxing still considered that they were only two years old. No matter how smart they were, they would definitely not be able to match the strength of an adult-sized bad guy.

But Red Tassel and Thunder are different.

Dad had trained Red Tassel, Thunder, Sharp Sword, and Lightning, so the latter, a single dog, could easily take on two adults.

Therefore, Xingxing felt she should bring Hongying and Leiting.

“Sure, Hongying and Leiting would definitely be willing.”

"We also need to leave a message for our parents."

Otherwise, what if Mom and Dad think they've gone missing?

“Yes.” Yueyue agreed, nodding emphatically.

Kindergarten dismisses students relatively early, at least around 3 PM, so neither Sheng Zexi nor Gu Jianing had gone home from get off work yet.

Meanwhile, the four little ones, Amber, who were supposed to take Xingxing and Yueyue home, ended up in a sorry state.

Every day, the two little ones take turns picking up Xingxing and Yueyue from school and bringing them home.

Today, it just so happens to be Hongying and Leiting's turn.

Sure enough, after school, Xingxing and Yueyue came out with their little schoolbags on their backs and saw Hongying and Leiting waiting outside.

Upon seeing Xingxing and Yueyue, Hongying and Leiting immediately ran towards the two little ones.

Soon, Xingxing and Yueyue went home with Hongying and Leiting.

When I got home...

The two little ones tore off a page of paper and took out pens.
