Your health is more important than anything else.

  The little devil carefully handed over his phone to Mom and went back to drinking porridge with his head down.

  After waiting for so long, she finally received his call, but Ye Shanshan didn't know what to say. She was stunned for a while before stuttering and opening her mouth, "That... Mr. Ning asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

  "I heard it." The low male voice on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his excitement and enthusiasm, "Next time you have a chance to see him, help me thank him."

  "Oh." Ye Shanshan instinctively responded with a sound, and after finishing, she was a little puzzled. "What to thank him for?" The chief is not confused, right? Ning Zihans words were so presumptuous, he didnt get angry, but instead wanted to thank him?

  "Thank him for taking the trouble to take care of you and Xiao Xiao, thank him for standing up for you." In fact, Gu Bei Chen didn't think Ning Zi Han's words should be linked to the word "impolite". On the contrary, he was very grateful that someone was willing to say these things to him.

  Ye Shanshan was afraid that the leader would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I and Xiaoxiao didn't complain about anything, why does he need to take our side?"

  "Not a single complaint?" It's been more than half a month since she last called home, and there was no news from her. If she didn't have any complaints at all, he would probably worry that she really didn't care about him.

  Ye Shanshan sneaked a glance at Xiao Xiao, who was focused on drinking porridge, and walked out of the ward to the rest area with her phone. The soundproofing in the ward was too poor, so she could only try to lower her voice, "There is, and there are many, many!"

  "Listen carefully." After she said that, Gu Bei Chen felt a bit more at ease.

  "I'm going to scold you severely! The most severe kind!" In the heat of the moment, Ye Shanshan didn't care about keeping her voice down and shouted loudly, "How could you not give your family any news for over half a month? Don't you know how worried they were?"

  "Alright, I was wrong, I'm willing to accept any punishment." Director Gu's tone was completely sincere and apologetic.

  "What's the point of punishment? No matter how severe the punishment is, it can't make up for my loss of being nervous all day and sleeping poorly at night!" This anger had been bottled up in Ye Shanshan's heart for too long, and she finally felt relieved to be able to vent it out so recklessly.

  Ye Shanshan had almost finished venting, but the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. She became anxious again, "Hello... Commander... Mr. Gu... Gu Beichen... husband..."

  In her excitement, she called out all the names she could think of.

  "Wife, I'm here." The first time she called him "husband", Gu Shou Zhang was a bit unaccustomed to it, but this feeling was truly wonderful.

  "You..." Ye Shanshan also felt a bit strange when she heard him call her "wife" for the first time.

  "Sorry to have worried you. This mission was quite tense and the communication facilities were all cut off by the heavy snow, no time to repair, I couldn't call home." After a brief silence, Gu Bei Chen's tone finally became serious and solemn.

  "Never mind, I'm a magnanimous person and won't bother with you. As long as you're fine, that's all that matters." All the complaints and worries would dissipate like floating clouds once she confirmed he was safe and sound. Being a military wife meant getting used to waiting; what she feared wasn't the wait itself, but rather... bad news.

  Just like Dad all those years ago, no news for over a month, and when the news finally came back from the troops, it was bad news. She didn't want to experience that kind of desperation again, as if the sky was about to fall.

  "I'm fine, not a single hair is missing." It's just that when I think of you, my heart hurts a little - such cheesy words are still hard for Gu Shou to say out loud, so he can only silently repeat them in his heart.

  "Xiao Xiao and I are fine, Xiao Xiao is getting an IV drip, the fever has subsided a bit, I just took some medicine and my headache isn't that bad anymore." After saying all this, I still haven't reported my condition to Master.

  His wife and children are all sick, but he can only be anxious in a place thousands of miles away. This feeling is really terrible. This is also why Gu Beichen chose to participate in this military exercise. By completing several arduous tasks, he will have the capital to negotiate with his superiors, although he still cannot return for the time being. At least he can shorten the interval between each return home.

  "Haven't had dinner yet?" The cook from the barracks was calling everyone over to eat, and it wasn't until then that Gu Bei Chen thought to ask this important question. Being sick was already miserable enough, and he couldn't bear to go hungry too.

  "Ha ha, I'll eat first and then go." Hearing his voice was more effective for Ye Shanshan than anything else. Now she not only didn't feel hungry, but the discomfort of her cold seemed to have alleviated a lot as well. Love, indeed, is the most miraculous medicine in this world.

  Although it's reluctant, I still have to temporarily end this call. Can't let my sick wife go hungry, "Go eat first, I'll call you again in half an hour."

  "You should also give your parents a call, they went to R city to attend an old comrades' reunion and don't know about you and Xiao Xiao going to the hospital. Don't tell them either, so as not to worry them." Hmm, Ye Shanshan is getting more and more like a big leader, giving instructions in a very proper manner.

  "Yes ma'am!" The Director's wife was exactly what the Director loved, anyway he had never thought of bringing his directorial airs home.

  "You... I'll hang up first!" Ye Shanshan still made a small awkward face and quickly hung up the phone, running back to the ward.

  Back in the ward, there's nothing good about it. The little devil at home has sharp eyes and many thoughts, just knowing how to annoy her, "Mommy, why are you blushing again?"

  "I... still haven't recovered from the burn." The result of telling a huge lie in front of the child was almost biting her own tongue.

  What's even more infuriating is that this lie can't be glossed over, "Hmph, I don't believe it, Dad must have said something sweet to coax you, right?"

  Alright, you win, I'll shut up and drink my porridge!

  The steaming hot red bean porridge tastes especially sweet at this moment. So, it's not the taste of food that matters, but the mood when eating.

  After dinner, Director Gu made another phone call back. This time it was mainly to satisfy Xiao Xiao. Looking at her afterwards, dare she say that Dad is biased, every time only chatting with Mommy, and hanging up the phone after saying a few words to her.

  However, after inquiring about the reason for his wife and child's illness, another matter was also exposed. The strict and decisive General Gu would not tolerate such hypocritical behavior. "This is outrageous! You actually ignored my words! Didn't I tell you to let Xiaoxiao take the school bus before I left? Why did you still send her yourself?"

  Ye Shanshan could only lower her head and speak in a low voice, "Before, it was always Feng Qing who drove to pick me up. This week, he happened to accompany his parents to R City, so I had to take the bus."

  "Why didn't you say anything when I called back the last few times?" To Shanshan, Gu Beichen was fully trusted, so he felt no need to make small moves, and unexpectedly, the result of full trust turned out to be like this.

  Ye Shanshan had nothing to say and could only hand the phone over to Xiao Xiao, after all it was her idea, so she should be the one to deal with it.

  "Dad, why don't you let Mom take a driver's test and then buy her a car? That way, she won't have to wait for buses or transfer anymore." Alright, I was originally going to let her solve the problem, but instead, she came up with another idea.
