House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 261 – People From The Military Region

Wednesday finally arrived. After sending Mo Fei to work and sending Xixi to school, Yang Yi began to get busy.

He first went to find Xiao Ai and put the birthday gift sent by the fans, which Mo Xiaojuan had secretly hidden, into the car and brought it home. Then he took out the previously purchased fresh flowers, ribbons, small flags and other materials, and began to decorate the living room at home.

It was not easy. Although the venue was a bit smaller than during Xixi’s birthday, Yang Yi still spent the whole morning to complete about 60% of his planned layout. The remaining 40% had to be done in the evening because the balloons would deflate if set up too early.

The colorful curling ribbons hanging down from above caught the attention of Xiao Guai and the others. These little guys started to run around and make trouble when Yang Yi began to decorate.

Although the British Shorthair kittens, who were about five months old, still have a bit of childish cuteness, their limbs and muscles have developed very well. Even the smallest one, Xiao Guai, could jump onto the high sofa with a sudden leap.

So, they enthusiastically messed up the ribbons that Yang Yi had placed on the side. And when Yang Yi pulled out a ribbon to hang it up, they pounced on it, slapping the tail of the ribbon just as excited as Xixi when going to an amusement park…

Fortunately, Yang Yi was no longer a novice in raising cats. He skillfully took out a few catnip toys and successfully diverted the attention of these three little ones.

However, in the afternoon, when Yang Yi went to pick up the cake and wasn’t at home, the bold kittens still jumped onto the sofa, stepped on the armrest, stood up on their hind legs, and swatted the hanging ribbons.

They couldn’t grab them, but they swatted at them with their paws, causing the ribbons to sway. Then all three of them crouched there, looking up with their heads swaying, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Recently, it has been normal for Mo Fei to work overtime at night. Mo Xiaojun took on the responsibility of sending her home, while Yang Yi picked up Xixi and went straight home.

“Today is Mama’s birthday! Papa bought a big cake for Mom.” When Yang Yi went upstairs, he said to the little girl, “What gift are you going to prepare for Mama?”

After a moment of surprise, the little girl began to worry. She didn’t know what gift to prepare.

“Papa, can I give my little red riding hood to Mama?” After struggling in her heart for a while, the little girl ran over, tugged at her father’s clothes as he was inflating balloons, pouted her little mouth, and said reluctantly.

Xixi treasured her plush doll. Every night when she went to sleep, she needed the Big Bear Baby by her side, and she would hold little red riding hood in her arms to fall asleep. She wouldn’t let others touch it easily.

“Why do you want to give that gift? Mama doesn’t need your favorite thing,” Yang Yi put down the balloon and fondly rubbed the little girl’s head.

“What should I do then?” Xixi looked at her father for help, her big eyes looking pitiful. “I don’t even know what birthday gift to give!”

“You can draw a picture for Mama. She will definitely like it,” Yang Yi said with a smile.

Xixi pouted her little mouth and still wasn’t satisfied. “Then, what should I draw?”

“Draw whatever you want, unleash your imagination to the fullest!” Yang Yi waved his hand and said boldly, “No matter what you draw, Papa will help you polish it up, and it will be very beautiful!”

Yang Yi had played this game with Xixi before. The little girl nodded happily, then quickly ran to find her colored crayons and drawing paper, and started preparing a birthday gift for her mother on her small desk.

……

Almost at the same time, a jeep drove into the Jiangnan Military District barracks on the outskirts of Jiangcheng and stopped in front of the military district guesthouse. Even before the people in the car got out, several people were already waiting outside the guesthouse, and a large banner was hung at the entrance of the military district guesthouse.

“Welcome the champion of the National Military Special Forces Competition to visit and provide guidance!”

However, due to the strict discipline in the military district, although this banner was hung, there were no onlookers.

“Is this the place where Yang Yi gave a speech?” The lazy voice of Shen Xinyu came out before he even stepped out of the car.

“Shen Xinyu, pay attention to the occasion!” Luo Zongsheng’s stern voice also came through.

The car door opened, and apart from the driver, three figures carrying luggage got out one after another. From the outside, they looked similar to ordinary soldiers, unremarkable, but, exuded a fierce aura. As soon as they approached, it was like encountering a dormant wolf in the jungle.

The members of the Viper special forces of the Jiangnan Military District came to greet them, including Senior Captain Old Li, whom they had met before, and Guo Dabao, who had sparred with Shen Xinyu.

“Welcome, welcome! We’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival! Although it’s thanks to Yang Yi’s influence.” Old Li said with a wide smile and came over to shake hands with Luo Zongsheng.

“Not at all, it’s an honor for us to have this exchange with the Viper team. As brother units, let’s learn and progress together,” Luo Zongsheng, after all, was the captain, and he spoke flawlessly.

While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Shen Xinyu and Guo Dabao on the other side didn’t have as many twists and turns. These two people, who had fought each other, had a mutual appreciation. Without hesitation, they immediately gave each other a fierce bear hug.

“Shen Xinyu, I lost to you last time, but I’ve been training for another month since I return. When can we have another fight?” Guo Dabao’s face was filled with excitement and wished he could go to the martial arts arena with Shen Xinyu right away and have a fight.

“I’m ready to accompany you anytime, but no matter how much you practice, you’re still be my defeated opponent,” Although Shen Xinyu has a good relationship with Guo Dabao, he didn’t hold back with his words.

“Hmph, fine. Let’s talk about it after the fight,” Guo Dabao said unconvinced, “But not now, the leaders are waiting upstairs. They want to host a welcome dinner for you and give you a warm reception.”

“Isn’t it just drinking? I’m good at that!” Shen Xinyu patted his chest.

“Hey, who’s that person with you guys? I don’t think I’ve seen him last time.” Guo Dabao pushed Shen Xinyu and pointed to the short figure standing behind them like an invisible person.

He wasn’t exactly short, a little over 1.7 meters tall, but compared to Shen Xinyu and Guo Dabao, who were both over 1.8 meters tall, he appeared “petite”. Moreover, he has a reserved and quiet personality, unlike Shen Xinyu who liked to be loud and boisterous.

“Him? He stayed behind last time and didn’t participate in the competition, but you definitely know his name! Have you heard of Southwest’s number one sniper?” Shen Xinyu raised his thumb and spoke proudly of his brother.

“Southwest’s number one sniper, Yu Xiaotian? The Yu Xiaotian who won the International Sniper Competition championship?” Guo Dabao had of course heard of him and was immediately surprised. He carefully observed the other party.

Of course, winning the championship in the competition was not considered a big deal. Yu Xiaotian’s greatest strength was providing cover for his teammates on the battlefield. He appeared and disappeared like a ghost, with incredibly precise bullets that could harvest the souls of his enemies at any moment. This not only suppressed the opponent’s firepower but also greatly ensured the safety of his teammates during engagements.

However, these feats of Yu Xiaotian as a “War Wolf” were rarely publicized. People only knew him as Southwest’s Number One Sniper because of his major awards.

Feeling Guo Dabao’s gaze, Yu Xiaotian turned his head and gave him a faint smile. However, those eagle-like eyes still made Guo Dabao shudder slightly.

After the leaders’ welcome reception and accompanied by the members of the Viper team, the three members of the Wolf Warrior were all drunk and were helped back to their rooms in the guesthouse. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Shen Xinyu sobered up a bit.

“Gramps Luo, when are we going to see Yang Yi?” Shen Xinyu looked towards Luo Zongsheng, who was in the adjacent bed, and asked.

Yu Xiaotian also turned around and focused on them.

“Seeing Yang Yi… There’s no hurry,” Luo Zongsheng had drunk more than both of them, and he was still a bit tongue-tied. However, his consciousness was clear, “Since we’re here for exchange, we need to do our work well. There will be a day off later.”

“Oh…”
