Chapter 609: 607, Condolence Performance

"What happened?" Luo Shu was somewhat surprised.

"It’s the peace charm you gave me. If it hadn’t been for that, my eldest would have been in real danger this time," said Qi Hui with a frightened look on her face.

"Here’s what happened: that day, Qi Hui’s oldest and some kids from the courtyard went up a tree to take bird eggs and accidentally fell off. That tree was more than three meters high. To our astonishment, the child fell from such a height and yet was completely unharmed," Wu Yuan said. At the time she heard about it, she was relieved but didn’t think about the peace charm.

"The children who were playing with the oldest told me that when he fell off the tree, a white light shot out from his body. Later when I was bathing him, I saw that a corner of his peace charm was missing, and I knew it was the charm that had protected him. Luo Shu, thank you so much! If it weren’t for your peace charm, my eldest would be gone," said Qi Hui, her eyes reddening with gratitude. When Luo Shu gave her the charm, she had told her that a peace charm could be used three times and missing a corner meant it had been used once.

"As long as he’s all right. Sister-in-Law, I brought back some local specialties for you this time. Let me go fetch them for you," Luo Shu said as she turned to walk toward the room.

"No need, I came to thank you. How could I take more from you?" Qi Hui quickly followed Luo Shu and reached out to stop her, not letting her go to fetch anything.

"Yes, we’ve always taken from you, how could we have the nerve?" Wu Yuan chimed in from the side. Although Luo Shu’s family was wealthy, she still felt embarrassed constantly accepting things from Luo Shu. Even if others didn’t say anything, she felt uncomfortable.

"It’s just some small items, for the children. If you two don’t take them, I’ll have to throw them away," Luo Shu said, smiling at them.

"Well..." Qi Hui and Wu Yuan looked at each other, "Alright, we won’t stand on ceremony with you this time only."

"But we really can’t continue like this in the future, or we’ll feel too embarrassed, even if others don’t say anything," they agreed.

"I’ll fetch them for you," said Luo Shu, proceeding into the room. Li City handicrafts were plentiful, and she had bought many this time, some for giving away and many others to keep for Baby in the future.

"Let me help you carry it; you shouldn’t lift heavy stuff while pregnant," Qi Hui suggested. However, without Luo Shu’s permission, she did not follow her in. The bedroom was a private place for the couple, and it would be somewhat improper for her to intrude.

"No worries, I can carry it," Luo Shu called, already heading into the room. She didn’t like others entering her and Hanmo’s bedroom.

In a short while, Luo Shu came out carrying two bags and handed them to Wu Yuan and Qi Hui, "They’re just some little toys. I hope you won’t look down on them."

"How could we? Our little rascals will be overjoyed to see these."

"I won’t stand on ceremony then," Qi Hui and Wu Yuan said as they took the bags.

After chatting with Shushu for a while, Qi Hui and Wu Yuan took their leave. They didn’t want to bother her too much, as she had just arrived home.

"What should I give Luo Shu in return? It’s really embarrassing to keep accepting her things," Wu Yuan asked Qi Hui.

"I’ve been thinking about the same thing. Luo Shu seems to lack nothing," Qi Hui said, frowning.

Wu Yuan sighed, "That’s exactly why it’s so hard to give her anything. Vegetables seem too meager, Luo Shu cooks better than me, and as for household items, her house lacks nothing."

"I’ve got it! Isn’t Luo Shu pregnant? Let’s buy some wool and knit some sweaters, pants, little hats, and shoes for her and the baby in her belly. What do you think?" Qi Hui said excitedly. Luo Shu probably doesn’t knit, right?

Wu Yuan clapped her hands with joy, "That’s a great idea! Let’s do that. We’ll work together."

"Then let’s go to the city and buy some wool tomorrow," Qi Hui decided with a smile. If there had been buses today, she would have gone to the city right away.

"Agreed! Let’s go first thing tomorrow morning," Wu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Seeing Lu Hanmo come over, Song Jiefang put down the newspaper in his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him, "Sit down and let’s talk."

"Yes, sir!" Lu Hanmo nodded, walked over, and took a seat on the sofa.

"Were you also in the disaster area this time?" Song Jiefang asked. He had received news that Lu Hanmo and his wife had been to the disaster area and had some trouble believing it until multiple confirmations assured him of the fact.

Lu Hanmo nodded slightly, "We just happened to be passing by."

"You’ve made significant contributions again this time," Song Jiefang said with a smile. Especially the medicines Lu Hanmo’s wife had brought, which had saved the lives of many seriously injured people this time.

"I’m on leave right now; no need to count my deeds as merits," Lu Hanmo said.

Song Jiefang laughed and shook his head, "You’re an odd one! Others are grasping for credit, yet you’re pushing it away. Your wife is also quite a hero this time. We’ve discussed it and want to award her First-Class Merit," he declared.

"Good!" This time, Lu Hanmo did not object. Even though Shushu might not care about these things, she deserved such an honor.

"Since you have no objections, we’ll present the honor to your wife on the Eleventh when the performance troupe comes to the training camp for a consolation performance," Song Jiefang said decisively.

"Understood," Lu Hanmo replied.

"On the Eleventh, the Guard’s Wives also need to prepare some acts, and I’d like to entrust your wife with this task," Song Jiefang stated. He thought of Lu Hanmo’s wife as soon as he received the orders. It wouldn’t be easy to have the Guard’s Wives prepare performances; it required someone cultured and with organizational skills, making Lu Hanmo’s wife the perfect candidate.

She had established a cake factory, providing employment opportunities for many Guard’s Wives. He was confident that her organization would resonate well with them.

"Commander, please find someone else," Lu Hanmo declined without a second thought.

"Hmm?" Song Jiefang looked at Lu Hanmo, puzzled.

"She’s pregnant, and I would prefer she not overexert herself," Lu Hanmo explained.

Song Jiefang frowned and thought for a moment, "How about this, I’ll have my daughter organize this event, but I hope your wife can assist from the sidelines. Don’t worry, she won’t be overworked." His daughter was the Deputy Squadron Leader of the performance troupe and an expert at planning. The only issue was that the Guard’s Wives would not readily follow the lead of a stranger, hence Luo Shu’s involvement was necessary.

"I need to ask for her opinion," Lu Hanmo said. It was up to Shushu to make this decision.
