"Thank you, Auntie Lin, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Several people devoured the entire table of food, finishing it all.

Because they might be required to go on a mission at any time, none of them drank alcohol.

After dinner, they sat and chatted for a while, and then a few of them tactfully said goodbye.

They all knew that Lin An was always thinking about his family, and that he had finally taken a vacation to go home for a few days, so he would definitely stay for the family to spend some time together.

Before leaving, the members of the action team wanted to wash the dishes, but were rejected by Lin's mother.

In Lin's mother's words, children's hands are used to do big things. Now that they have finally got a vacation, they should go back to the dormitory and have a good rest. They are not needed for small things like washing dishes.

Xu Maoyan hasn't left yet.

He sat on the sofa, looking at Xu Wanning, hesitant to speak.

Xu Wanning couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Maoyan nodded. "I have something I want to discuss with you. Is it convenient for us to talk alone?"

Hearing this, Lin An stood up and said, "I'm going to clean up the kitchen, you guys can chat first."

Xu Wanning knew that Xu Maoyan should tell her about Tao Manman, so she called him to her bedroom.

Sure enough, just after sitting down, I heard Xu Maoyan say, "Was Manman's operation really successful?"

Xu Wanning nodded: "I called Dr. Heidi, and the doctor who performed the surgery on Manman said in person that her surgery was very successful and that you will definitely have a child."

Xu Maoyan's brows were tightly knitted together. "But, so much time has passed, and Manman still hasn't made any movement."

Xu Wanning's throat choked and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

She traveled through time from the future, and the cultural shock she received made her accept having an intimate relationship before marriage.

But when she first heard Xu Maoyan say this, she always felt something was strange.

Xu Maoyan pulled his lips and smiled reluctantly: "This matter has always been a thorn in Manman's heart, so after she came back from abroad, she strongly requested that I be with her... Don't worry, we have already filed a marriage report, and we are currently a legal couple, but we haven't held a wedding yet."

Xu Wanning nodded in understanding. "Brother, I know you and Manman are very anxious, but this matter is not as simple as buying groceries and cooking. The child is the fruit of your love, and it also requires the right time, place and people."

Although Xu Wanning was single in her previous life, several of her close friends were already mothers, so she had some understanding of pregnancy and childbirth.

Although Tao Manman is a military doctor, she is mainly responsible for surgery and may not have a deep understanding of obstetrics and gynecology.

Xu Wanning wanted to talk to Xu Maoyan about it in detail, but she always felt that it was a bit strange for brother and sister to talk about this topic.

Who makes the Chinese people introverted by nature?

Xu Wanning also adapted to the local customs.

"Brother, do you have to go on the next mission?"

"Hmm?" Xu Maoyan looked at Xu Wanning in confusion: "Is there a need to connect the two?"

"Of course. If you want to focus on nurturing your love child with Manman, then I suggest you not to go on the mission for now and just stay at home with Manman. I have learned some knowledge from the doctor, and I can discuss it with Manman later, so that you can have a baby as soon as possible."

Xu Maoyan was silent.

At present, his position has reached the highest peak he can reach at his age. Even if he completes a few more missions and accumulates military merits, he will not be promoted in a short period of time.

He wanted to do the mission just because of his passion and the desire to rescue more victims.

Compared to having children, Xu Maoyan personally prefers to do tasks.

But, to be frank, it was because of him that Tao Manman got hurt and became what she is today. He couldn't remain indifferent when he knew what Tao Manman wanted.

After a struggle in his heart, Xu Maoyan said, "I'll ask the organization to decide not to do the mission this time. I'll talk to Manman after she's adjusted her mindset."

"Aning, I know you are very busy every day, so it is a little difficult for me to speak. But I still hope that you can spend more time with Manman. Third sister-in-law has to take care of Shi Qian every day, so she doesn't have much free time. You are Manman's best friend, so maybe she will listen to what you say."

"Got it. I will have a good discussion with Manman in the next few days."

After receiving this affirmative answer, Xu Maoyan also stood up and said goodbye.

The next day, Xu Wanning turned down some work and went on a tour around Beijing with Lin An and the four children.

As it was the end of the year, they did not go to any famous tourist attractions, but instead wandered through the streets and alleys of Beijing. The festive atmosphere was already strong.

When Lin returned home in the evening, her mother had already prepared dinner.

Looking at the happy smile on Lin's mother's face, Xu Wanning thought that she was so happy because she hadn't seen her son for a long time.

Unexpectedly, just after sitting down, I heard Lin's mother say: "Aning, do you know? Old Chen's tailor shop has closed down!"

Xu Wanning's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, "Closed down? How long has their tailor shop been open?"

At most it’s less than a week, right?

Although Chengjia's tailor shop is not as good as a clothing store, it is cheaper, so it has received many orders.

As long as they don't do anything stupid, their business won't be too bad.

Could it be that the Chen family is committing suicide again?

Hearing Xu Wanning's question, Lin's mother curled her lips and said, "Of course! Their initial pricing was cheaper than our clothing store. Although the fabric they used was a little worse, the thirty yuan difference still helped them attract a lot of customers."

"Logically, as long as they make clothes conscientiously, these orders before the New Year should be enough for them to have a prosperous New Year. Who would have thought that they would repeat the same old trick and change the fabric again."

"The price of their woolen coats is 30 yuan cheaper than ours, but the fabric is different, so it feels different when worn. But at this price, their clothes are pretty good. After all, they have so many years of craftsmanship, so they can't be that bad."

"But the problem is that after they have done their accounting, they may have decided that they can't make much money with the existing fabrics, so they secretly replaced them with cheaper fabrics."

"Anyone who is willing to spend so much money on a piece of clothing, no matter how cheap they are, is a person who knows the value of the product. So, when the finished product came out, the customers immediately refused to buy it. Several of them got together and made trouble in front of the tailor shop, forcing the Chen family to return the money to the customers."

The money was refunded, but the customers did not return the clothes to them.
