Chapter 1584: Chapter 1584: Brief Reunion 1

Seeing Hu Lan’s amiable attitude towards her sister, Feng Qingxue felt a weight lifted from her heart.

When marrying off a daughter, it’s crucial to see if there’s a mother-in-law who is understanding and reasonable.

After breakfast, Feng Qingyun and Li Jiaoyang coaxed Hu Lan to bed to rest. In her fifties, having rushed overnight, she might appear full of energy on the surface.

Sleep is important. Going a whole night without sleep can take a normal person many days to recover, let alone Hu Lan, whose health was visibly weak and frail.

Hu Lan was reluctant to sleep, her eyes fixed on Li Jiaoyang.

Li Jiaoyang said softly, "I won’t leave. I’ll stay right here. When you open your eyes, I’ll be the first one you see."

Only then did Hu Lan close her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

She smiled in her sleep.

The Lu Family was busy, with some going to work and others to school, leaving only Cheng Baoguo’s parents and the orderly with the triplets at home. After a turn outside, they found Hu Lan still asleep.

"She’s exhausted. She definitely won’t wake up without sleeping for a full day and night," Li Jiaoyang, who knew a bit about health maintenance, said.

Cheng Baoguo nodded slightly, "Before Xiaoxue left, she left a prescription for medicinal food and brought out a piece of old mountain ginseng. She probably took her pulse while chatting with your mom. Later, ask Zu Lei to cut a few slices of the ginseng to make some soup for your mom to nourish her well."

Li Jiaoyang felt very grateful, "I’ll do it myself. I can cook and make soup."

He had grown up taking care of himself.

Though Hu Lan deeply regretted losing him and constantly apologized upon their first meeting, he didn’t resent his parents’ carelessness because, compared to those who didn’t survive, he was very lucky. Not only did he survive, but he also got into college, found a good job, and met someone he loved.

Cheng Baoguo patted his shoulder, "No need for formalities in a family. All our kids are great. Jiaoyang, you’ll realize how lucky you are to be with Xiaoyun."

Having known Commander Rong for a long time, it was inevitable that he viewed Li Jiaoyang with favor; high-ranking officers who’ve fought together are all familiar with each other.

Li Jiaoyang nodded, "I don’t need to wait until later; I already know how fortunate I am."

With Hu Lan expected to sleep for a long time, he entrusted Hu Lan’s temporary care to Wang Cuilan and headed to the Service Society himself. The military supplies were ample, but not everyone had the quota to buy meat, and with New Year’s approaching, there was fish and chicken.

He got off at Wucheng and navigated his way into the black market, exchanging goods he brought from Shanghai for some local tickets.

Nobody understood better than Li Jiaoyang how to live well.

He bought meat, fish, and even an old hen, spending all the tickets he exchanged, and used the national grain tickets he brought to purchase some foods only available in the military.

Once he left, a few soldiers and some accompanying family members at the counter began to chatter.

"Captain Rong’s brother is certainly generous. He must be buying these for the Lu Family, right?"

"Definitely, I heard his mother rushed over in the middle of the night, and she hasn’t left the Lu Family since arriving in the morning."

"Mother and son reunions, they probably wish to be together every day."

"Very fortunate indeed, for a family to reunite. Many lost in those times never found their families."

Rong Yuan finding his brother wasn’t a secret, nor was the relationship between Li Jiaoyang and Feng Qingyun; in the family compound, there were hardly any big secrets, and news spread quickly from one person to the next.
