Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

"Sir, my mother doesn't usually live here and doesn't come back often. Didn't she tell you?"

Xu Sui was slightly taken aback.

Hong Tianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the other person wasn't deliberately avoiding him, but simply didn't know.

"If your mother doesn't usually live with you, where does she live?"

Wang Yinhua had never told him about this.

The two have not seen each other since that night.

He didn't know what he had done wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he hadn't done anything wrong.

There's nothing to hide about this, Xu Sui told the truth.

"My mom lives in the county and works there. She doesn't come back here often, only occasionally when she has weekends off."

Hong Tianming frowned slightly. "Going to work? Why is your mother still working at her age?"

"Didn't any of you try to persuade her?"

In his view, a woman of Wang Yinhua's age should stay at home and enjoy her retirement, going shopping and spending money whenever she has free time.

Why would she need to go to work to earn money? For a woman like Wang Yinhua who loves beauty, going to work is too hard and tiring.

Could it be that her children are unfilial and don't support her in her old age, so she has to work hard to earn money at this age?

But he quickly rejected the idea.

After learning more about her over the past few days, he also learned that Wang Yinhua had two sons and a daughter, whose daughter was Xiao Xu.

He didn't know much about other things and couldn't say for sure, but Xiao Xu was definitely not the kind of unfilial daughter.

Xu Sui suddenly understood why her mother had been ignoring Hong Tianming these past few days.

This person is probably used to being a leader; sometimes when he talks to the people around him, he has a commanding, bossy tone.

However, her mother preferred a man who would dote on her in everything, rather than a man who would lecture her and spoil her mood.

Xu Sui began to speak:

"...Commander, you don't know, my mom loves going to work. She really likes her job. She even lives at the factory now and hardly ever comes back to us."

"I saw that my mom was quite happy, so I didn't stop her from going to work."

Hong Mingtian remained silent for a long time.

"Where does she work? Is the job tiring?"

He hasn't been seen these past few days; he must be exhausted, too tired to even come back.

But he still didn't quite understand why Wang Yinhua worked so hard.

From the very first moment they met, he had already made himself so clear, even explaining his monthly allowance to her.

As long as Wang Yinhua is willing, she can be the commander's wife.

He hands over his monthly allowance and the family savings account to her, so she doesn't need to work so hard.

There was also a nanny at home who was in charge of housework. If Wang Yinhua married him, she wouldn't have to worry about housework, and at their age, they wouldn't need to worry about children either.

Xu Sui nodded. "My mother is the production manager in the textile factory I just built, but it's a newly established factory, so it's definitely tiring."

To be honest, although her mother had never been a leader before and had no experience,

But she is indeed very capable. The entire production framework of the textile factory was built by her mother all by herself.

To work, her mother gets up early and goes to bed late almost every day, spending all her time in the production workshop with a small notebook and a pen in her hand. Whenever she encounters a problem she doesn't understand, she writes it down in that notebook.

After solving the problem, try to solve each one in turn.

Even if it means skipping meals, she'll work to solve the problem. If she can't solve it herself, she'll call her old friends from her old textile factory.

Wang Yinhua would only call Xu Sui if those people couldn't solve her problem, but this was very rare.

Xu Sui still thought highly of her mother and was thinking of promoting her to deputy factory director after a while.

Hong Tianming was somewhat surprised. He felt that the Wang Yinhua that Xu Sui mentioned was quite different from the Wang Yinhua he usually saw who loved to dress up and be pretty.

So, after asking around about Wang Yinhua, she left.

After everyone left, Xu Sui went upstairs to go home. When she passed the communal kitchen, she suddenly smelled a medicinal odor.

The medicinal scent is faint, not strong, but rather quite pleasant.

It doesn't look like brewing medicine; it looks more like making medicinal cuisine.

Xu Sui subconsciously looked up and immediately saw Old Mrs. Xu preparing medicinal herbs in front of the stove in the communal kitchen.

Grandma Xu was a cultured woman. She had attended a private school when she was young and had excellent calligraphy skills.

Even now, despite her advanced age and recent recovery from a serious illness, Mrs. Xu still stands ramrod straight, showing no signs of hunching or aging.

Her clothes were simple and neat, pressed flat, without any fancy accessories, yet they exuded sophistication.

At that moment, she was surrounded by many military wives, who kept asking her questions out of curiosity.

"Grandma Xu, is this a medicinal meal you made? It smells so good! What kind of nourishing food is it made for?"

"Is it for adults or children? Or can both adults and children drink it? What's the point?"

Medicinal cuisine is something only wealthy families would prepare and consume; ordinary families like theirs have only heard of it.

Although Mrs. Xu was somewhat aloof in her dealings with others, she would at least offer a few words of explanation when faced with questions in this regard.

"There are drinks for adults and drinks for children."

Xu Sui stood quietly not far away and watched for a while. She saw that her grandmother got along well with others, and even seemed to be more popular here than she was back in her hometown.

She was relieved and turned to go back into the house.

A short while later, Qin Yunzhou brought the two children back from school, along with Xu Fei.

Xu Fei followed behind Qin Yunzhou with his head down, not daring to breathe loudly. It was obvious that he had caused trouble again.

Before Xu Sui could even ask...

Yao Yao skipped and hopped into Xu Sui's arms, "Mommy, Mommy, Uncle is so popular!"

"There was a pretty older sister from the performing arts troupe, and a nurse sister, who brought food to my uncle every day."

A moment later, Xu Sui learned what had happened from Qin Yunzhou.

It turns out that although Xu Fei hasn't caused any trouble in the army these days, his face has become more rugged and handsome after getting tanned, and his body has also become much stronger after training.

Gradually, thanks to his face and his status as the brother-in-law of Political Commissar Qin, he attracted several admirers.

At first, the women frequently tried to win Xu Fei's favor, but Xu Fei ignored them all.

He wouldn't accept anything from others, but when people offered him food, he would accept it like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Qin Yunzhou caught them red-handed.
