SEC Chapter 330 An unexpected surprise
Chapter 330 An unexpected surprise
Xi Hua gently stroked her daughter's soft hair and asked softly, "Xiao Yu, why did you suddenly come back without telling your mother beforehand?"
"I just finished my military academy assessment and asked my instructor for leave, so I didn't notify you."
Xi Yu said with a smile, and subtly used her mental power to examine Xi Hua's body. She was pleasantly surprised to find that Xi Hua's physical condition had changed a lot, and her physical functions, which had aged due to long-term labor, were slowly improving.
"Is the assessment over? Are you injured? Is life in the capital tough?" Xi Hua asked, looking at her daughter with concern. She was relieved to see that her daughter was in good spirits.
"It's okay, and I'll graduate after this, then I'll be assigned to the legion," Xi Yu said with a smile.
"Boss can graduate in the first year?" Black Dog knew more than Xi Hua. To graduate from military academy in just one year, one must have excellent grades!
"No wonder he's the boss! He must be so impressive in the legion, right? I see all those legion members looking pretty cool and domineering!" The fat man grinned, rubbing his belly. He had only read about it online.
Upon hearing this, Xi Hua became somewhat worried. Joining the legion meant going on expeditions, which was far more dangerous than being at military academy.
Mu Junze noticed Xi Hua's worries and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu isn't a reckless child, and new recruits usually don't have the opportunity to take on important missions."
"Yes." Xi Hua sighed and nodded. She had been mentally prepared since her child chose this path, but worry was still inevitable.
Xi Yu blinked. The interaction between Mu Junze and Xi Hua truly delighted her! It was clear that there was a warm feeling flowing between them.
Xi Yu held Xi Hua's hand and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely take care of myself."
Xi Hua smiled and patted the back of her hand: "That's good. Now that you're back, how about Mom cooks you a big meal tonight? What would you like to eat, Xiaoyu?"
"Hmm... I want to eat spicy and sour steamed fish, and also some light egg drop soup." Xi Yu licked her lips, her craving making Xi Hua very happy, and he immediately wanted to rush to the supermarket to buy some.
"Then let's close early today! Let's celebrate the boss's return properly!" Black Dog, the apparent boss, immediately made the decision.
Xi Hua had gotten used to the fact that the Black Dogs would occasionally call Xi Yu "boss," and having spent so much time with them, she had come to regard them as family.
"How about this, Mom, you and Uncle Mu go to the supermarket to buy groceries and go home first. Fatty and I will tidy up the shop and then we can close up shop," Xi Yu suggested with a smile.
After Xi Hua and Mu Junze left, she grabbed the black dog and asked, "When did Uncle Mu arrive in Z City?"
"It was shortly after we moved to Z City, right? We didn't have a shop yet. Mr. Mu would often invite Auntie to brew tea and discuss flowers. After the shop opened, he came to help almost every day. We got used to it, and with him in the shop, the flowers sold much better."
When talking about Mu Junze, Black Dog couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. You know, when they first moved to Z City, Xi Hua was in a bad mood because she couldn't adapt to the new environment and her daughter wasn't around. Black Dog and the others were very worried, but she didn't let Xi Yu know.
Fortunately, Mu Junze comforted her. He and Xi Hua shared common topics and interests, which gradually helped Xi Hua out of her slump.
