Gu Xiaobei wiped her tears with the back of her hand, sniffled loudly, and opened the door to find Guo Huaqiang standing there.
Guo Huaqiang had come home to bring food to Xiangmin and heard Gu Xiaobei's loud crying from the doorstep. Thinking of Lu Zhanguo's current mission and the instructions he had given before leaving, he couldn't help but come to check on her.
"Sister, are you okay?" Guo Huaqiang asked with concern, looking at Gu Xiaobei, whose eyes were all red.
Gu Xiaobei replied with muffled voice: "I'm fine."
Guo Huaqiang thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry too much. Zhanguo has lots of combat experience. He'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaobei calmly asked, "Did they really go to the battlefield?"
"Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Gu Xiaobei's face showed no expression, other than the redness of her eyes from crying. She said, "I know. Lu Zhanguo even promised to help me plant cabbages."
