431: They want the monkeys to do the work.

Moreover, Xiao Niannian had reported this matter to Captain Chen and the others, and their opinion was that they could create another standard version for use by fraternal units.

Of course, some training methods were classified secrets of their Production Brigade and would naturally not be leaked.

Qiao Yan did not participate in these parachute jumps but instead joined the Second Team and Third Team in other training.

After returning to the training base, Lu Jing and Instructor Qin went to report, while everyone else went to the mess hall.

Shen Yan and his comrades-in-arms talked about the night training.

"That gust of wind was too strong just now; otherwise, I definitely would have landed at the designated spot..."

"The wind was indeed very strong; I just happened to land by the pond..."

Listening to her comrades-in-arms, Xiao Niannian continued eating her meal.

"Instructor Xiao, how could you land so accurately?"

Shen Yan still called Xiao Niannian Instructor Xiao in front of others.

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian replied.

"Follow the training manual, and after enough practice, you'll be able to do what I do..."

Shen Yan gave a thumbs up, saying admiringly,

"Impressive."

Time flew by, and when the appointed time arrived, Xiao Niannian and Shen Yan took the car driven by her Older Brothers and returned to Xiang Province.

"Little sister, there's still plenty of time. Do you want to go hunting?"

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin had visited Guangdong Province many times over the years and knew which places between Guangdong Province and Xiang City Name were suitable for hunting.

They now also had gun licenses and could hand-make bullets, so no one would bother them if they went hunting now.

"Let's go home first."

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"I miss Grandma."

Hearing their little sister's words, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin said nothing more.

After more than ten hours of driving, the group returned to Xiang City Name.

In the City Name, Xiao Niannian bought some supplies.

"Grandma, Aunt Gu."

Xiao Niannian ran towards Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao saw her Granddaughter, excitedly walked forward, took Xiao Niannian's hand, and carefully examined her Granddaughter.

"Niannian, you've lost weight..."

Grandma Xiao said with great heartache.

"Grandma, I ate very well there. I brought back some dried seafood for you..."

Looking at the several large bags of things her Granddaughter, Gu Yuan, and Gu Jin were carrying, Grandma Xiao said with a smile,

"It's good that you're back, but why did you bring so many things..."

Aunt Gu also looked at Xiao Niannian with a pained expression.

"Knowing you were coming back, Auntie made a lot of food in advance..."

Xiao Niannian and her Older Brothers looked at the table full of dishes, and Xiao Niannian was deeply moved.

All the dishes on this table were her favorites, and some were red yeast cured meat and red yeast cured fish made by Grandma Xiao, which tasted excellent.

Xiao Niannian loved this dish, as well as the braised beef and stir-fried yellow beef, all of which were her favorites.

"You all quickly sit down and eat; eat more..."

Xiao Niannian ate two bowls of rice and was very full.

Seeing Grandma Xiao and Aunt Gu about to clean up, they quickly stepped forward and took over the work.

After quickly tidying everything up, Xiao Niannian sat down again to talk with Grandma Xiao and Aunt Gu.

"Niannian, the rooms are all cleaned up. Go to sleep now..."

Lying on her own bed, Xiao Niannian felt her sleep had greatly improved.

When she woke up, it was already past six in the morning.

Xiao Niannian heard sounds downstairs. Grandma Xiao and Aunt Gu were busy in the kitchen, and her Older Brothers had also gotten up.

"Grandma, you and Aunt Gu should go sleep. We brothers will make breakfast..."

After eating, Xiao Niannian followed Grandma Xiao to the back mountain to pay respects to Grandpa Xiao.

The brothers Gu Yuan and Gu Jin also followed.

Xiao Niannian knelt on the ground, listening to Grandma Xiao talk to Grandpa Xiao.

"Old man, Niannian is so outstanding now..."

The brothers Gu Yuan and Gu Jin also knelt down.

After a while, Xiao Niannian kowtowed to Grandpa Xiao, and her Older Brothers followed suit.

Grandma Xiao watched this scene, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Niannian knew that Grandma Xiao was missing her Older Brothers. She had been trying to find a way these days. In Rong Chengdu, she had also asked someone to post missing person notices, but there was no news.

No matter what, she would find her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers, so that Grandma Xiao could be reunited with them.

She would not take any of the family's possessions; she would leave them all to her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers. In addition, the Gu Family would also compensate her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers.

"Grandma, let's go back."

Grandma Xiao nodded.

Xiao Niannian helped Grandma Xiao walk towards home.

After returning home, Grandma Xiao had recovered.

"Niannian, you rest well at home these next few days. Grandma will make you more delicious food so you can get stronger..."

Every time Grandma Xiao saw her Granddaughter, she felt that her Granddaughter had lost weight and wanted her Granddaughter to eat better.

It seems that most Grandparents feel this way.

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Now that a phone had been installed at home, Xiao Niannian called her Grandparents in the Capital City.

"Grandma."

Hearing her Granddaughter's voice, Grandma Gu couldn't be happier.

"Precious, you're back in Xiang City Name?"

"Yes."

Her Grandparents expressed all sorts of concern for Xiao Niannian over the phone.

They originally thought their Granddaughter could stay in the Capital City for two months, allowing them to spend more time together, but their Granddaughter had too many things to do. Even if they wanted to spend more time with her, they couldn't hold her back.

After their Granddaughter graduated and joined the Special Forces Brigade, they would then go and live in the Family Courtyard for a while.

As long as their Granddaughter wasn't on a mission, they could spend time together in the evenings.

After talking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Niannian finished the call.

Only then did she remember that her Grandparents hadn't asked about her Older Brothers at all.

Xiao Niannian walked out of the room and saw in the courtyard that her Older Brothers and Shen Yan were chopping firewood.

"Little sister."

"Sister Xiao."

Xiao Niannian asked,

"What are you doing?"

Hearing his little sister's words, Gu Yuan said with a smile,

"Autumn is almost here. We plan to fill the backyard with firewood these next few days so that when it gets cold, it will be more convenient for Grandma to use the tin wood stove..."

"Sister Xiao, there are many trees on the back mountain, just right for clearing a path. But leave those bamboos for The Monkeys to play with..."

As soon as The Monkeys were mentioned, Shen Yan was delighted. He hadn't expected the current Monkeys to be so intelligent. Earlier, Grandma Xiao had said she wanted to feed The Monkeys, so she cooked pumpkins and potatoes.

Grandma Xiao tapped the basin, and suddenly, more than ten Monkeys emerged from the quiet back mountain.

And when The Monkeys came, they didn't just eat for free.

They all brought wild fruits, incredibly fresh.

Shen Yan even planned to make The Monkeys stack the firewood these past few days; if they wanted to eat, they had to work.

"Sister, I'm thinking of having The Monkeys stack the firewood later..."

Xiao Niannian listened to Shen Yan's words and laughed.

Shen Yan felt a little flustered by his sister's laughter. What did his sister mean by that?

Did she disagree?

Then he would stack the firewood himself.

"Okay, let them help you stack the firewood."
