The children were older now and at the age where they were most mischievous. The dogs at home had become the three children’s playmates. Cats preferred quiet environments, so such a rowdy environment was not very good for them.
In this era, medical care was not that advanced yet and most of the medical equipment was very old. If one was scratched or bitten by dogs and cats, it was difficult to get an injection to prevent rabies. There were many people who died of rabies every year.
Although Qiao Mei’s ginseng juice could cure many illnesses, she had never tried using it to treat rabies before. Therefore, she did not want her children to risk getting into unnecessary danger.
She took a look at the furnishings in the house. The entire place looked welcoming and tidy. There were many photos on the wall and she even spotted many CDs in the cabinet! She did not expect Tang Hui to be a rock and roll fan .
Unfortunately, Xia Guang did not have any hobbies and was just a blockhead! Other than having a good family background, he was not worthy of Tang Hui at all.
“Are your injuries better?” Qiao Mei asked.
Tang Hui removed the bandage and said, “Actually, it’s not serious at all. The doctor doesn’t even think I need any treatment. If I had reached the hospital a little later, the wounds would have healed! It’s just that Xia Guang was too worried, so the doctor bandaged it up like this. It looks scarier than it is.”
“I want to thank you for today.” Qiao Mei took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and opened the lid. There was a light pink paste inside. She handed it to Tang Hui and said, “This is an ointment which I made myself. After applying it for two days, your wounds will recover and there won’t be any scars on your face and neck.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits,” Tang Hui said.
It was getting late and Qiao Mei went home after delivering the gift. The next day, she brought her three children as well as Xia Wen, Xia Sun and Xia You to Xia Jun’s house.
When Xia Jun saw the children, he could not stop smiling. Now that Xia Jun was much older, he liked to play with the children. Seeing the children having fun noisily around him made him feel happy and alive. He even felt as if he had suddenly become many years younger.
“Grandfather, why don’t you move to the courtyard house and be neighbors with Father and Mother. I’ve already bought that house. Then, you can also play chess with my grandfather. The two of you can keep each other company,” Qiao Mei said as she sat beside Xia Jun.
“I can’t leave the military compound. The higher-ups don’t allow me to do that!” Xia Jun said helplessly.
Xia Jun had actually gone to stay in that courtyard house for a period of time during the new year. The superior in charge of the military compound made several phone calls to ask him to move back urgently.
Xia Jun was one of the last few veterans who survived the war. The military still needed Xia Jun’s guidance in many issues and they could only ensure his safety when he was in the military compound. They deemed it too dangerous for him to live in the courtyard house which Qiao Mei bought and did not want to take the risk.
“It’s fine. We’ll bring our children over to visit you often,” Xia Wen said.
Xia Jun nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Xia You and asked, “Your siblings and cousins already have children. When are you and Lu Huai going to have a child of your own?”
“Grandfather, Lu Huai and I are currently progressing well in our careers and we want to work hard for the next few years. We will put the matter of children aside for the time being. Besides, it’s fate whether one has children or not. When it’s meant to be, the child will come no matter what,” Xia You said.
