The General Loves to Collect Little Red FlowersCh56 - Lucky Wooden Fish

Edited by Wiji and Noks

Le Yao was particularly amazed. Previously, because of the increase in his appetite, he had thought about whether he really had a child or not. But then, even though he had thought about it, he didn’t think that it would become a reality so soon. As a result, not only did this thought actually become a reality, but instead of one, he had three little ones coming, all at once!  LOMPYd

Three! Just one was enough to make him feel worried. But he was getting three at the same time. He was surely going to die!

Le Yao still felt like he was dreaming when he left the hospital that afternoon. Originally, Xu Yao and President Liu had suggested to have him stay at the hospital for another day, and then be discharged when the symptoms of dizziness and nausea had completely disappeared. It would also ensure that the medical staff could take care of his condition appropriately. However, he wanted to go home and see Uncle Ming and Tang Ye, who would soon return from Vodapei. Thus, he left after the dizziness had reduced and was not as severe.

Uncle Ming and Tang Ye soon returned with the insect-eradicating team and the additional soldiers that Xu Yao had personally picked for the mission. This time, although he personally did not participate in this mission, it was considered a complete success. All the soldiers had returned, and only a small part of the team had been injured, and they had all been immediately treated by the medical staff who had been fighting alongside them. After returning, the injured could slowly receive proper treatment at the hospital.

“It’s all thanks to Mr Xiao Le. I was attacked several times on the battlefield, but I would always be saved at the critical moment,” said Tang Ye, while sitting on Xu Yao’s living room sofa. BOo6v2

“It’s nothing. I’m just glad you returned safely, and that’s better than nothing.” Le Yao smiled, but suddenly scrunched his face as he retched, “Ugh!” 

“Mr Xiao Le, are you alright? Why do you look so uncomfortable?” Tang Ye had been busy with his post-war work report ever since he had come back, and had only just seen Le Yao. He didn’t know that Le Yao had spent the whole day in the hospital today.

“I was frightened by a snake this morning.” Xu Yao handed him something to drink and he took a sip. “I went to the hospital and rested for a day. This is just a side effect of the medicine I was given.”

“Un. There are quite a lot of snakes in this season. If you are afraid of snakes, then you should pay close attention to your surroundings. Or, you can bring snake repellent or something around with you.”

“I had thought about that before, but now it probably won’t work.” Xu Yao said, naturally rubbing Le Yao’s shoulder. “He has three little ones in his stomach now, so we need to be careful with medication in the future.” 

Hearing this, Tang Ye immediately dropped his jaw in surprise. “Ah?!”

Zhang Xuwei, Head of Heavy Mecha Regiment, had also came along and was sitting right beside Tang Ye. He looked at them in shock. Did we hear you right? Three little ones?!

Le Yao smiled awkwardly, then turned to glare at Xu Yao. Fthlfy

Xu Yao was really too shameless. These people had traversed to a distant planet and had worked hard to clean up the insect tide. They didn’t have any knowledge about the events that happened in the camp during their absence from it. After their return, they were told directly that it had been like this… and like that… and now, they even had a bun in the oven!!!  And not just one bun, but three buns! How did these two achieve something like this in such a short time?

Tang Ye was still unable to process this information. He cupped his ear with his hand and asked, “How many did you just say?”

Xu Yao laughed loudly, “Three.”

Tang Ye was so impressed that he wanted to prostate himself in admiration while exclaiming, “Oh my God, when I left… you hadn’t even had…” gXTZC9

Zhang Xuwei muttered, “The General deserves to be called the General, and the General’s wife deserves to be the General’s wife. Such efficiency~~”

As expected, the news that Le Yao was pregnant with triplets soon spread to all of the soldiers when they went to have dinner at the cafeteria. Once everyone heard that he was pregnant with three children, they immediately deemed him a rare treasure. Although everyone generally believed that Omegas were especially fertile, it was still rare to conceive three children at once. It was also difficult for people to avoid discussing it.

What peerless genes Madam has! He understands xuanshu, is good-looking, good-natured, and is also pregnant with triplets! tHXS6F

“You’d better go out as little as possible in the future. I’m afraid that you will be beaten up.” Tang Ye voiced his classic line again, “How can you take all the good things?”

“Yes. No matter what the expectation, whatever happens to the General ultimately turns into something very good.” Yan Jie added, “But is it possible to return to Tarot during this time?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Well, President Liu has suggested that we go back there only after Le Yao’s condition is more stable.” Originally, Xu Yao had planned to take Le Yao back to Tarot for sightseeing or shopping, but now that the children had suddenly arrived, he shouldn’t be in such a hurry. He should instead focus on Le Yao’s safety. Although there had been many trips between planets during recent years, it was also an indisputable fact that, throughout the vast galaxy, no place was as safe as the camp.

“I didn’t really want to go back anyway.” Le Yao stared at Xu Yao and said with a smile, “As long as I’m with you, everything will be alright.” jmwG79

“Hello, hello… Mr Xiao Le, what about this group of bachelors over here? Can you not be so amorous?” Yan Jie couldn’t help but interrupt this lovey-dovey scene.

“I’m not that amorous,” said Le Yao. “To tell you the truth, your fated one is coming very soon. I think you are not that far away from losing your ‘single’ title.”

“Can you see that too?” Chen Yingwei was shocked. “Mr Xiao Le, aren’t you too amazing?”

“Yes, I can help you figure out your fate. But this thing is not absolutely accurate. After all, there are all kinds of changes every day. No one can be 100% sure about the future, so don’t believe in it too much, just take it as having fun.” 51VaOK

The moment he said this, the group of single young men gathered closer to the table to figure out where their fated one was, whether they had even been born yet or not. But, as soon as they got closer, President Liu drove them away, “Mr Xiao Le is pregnant now. He needs more rest. You are not allowed to play around. It’s too late today. If you want to figure it out, you can talk about it later.”

Everyone thought, is it? A long time had already passed after dinner, and it was almost midnight. It really is too late.

In reality, Le Yao was only a little drowsy. As he had slept all day today, he didn’t feel very sleepy at the moment. But President Liu had spoken. So, of course, he would go back and rest as soon as possible.

Xu Yao said to the soldiers, “If everyone is tired, go back and rest early. If you are not tired, you can continue to stay here. Those who have returned from Vodapei can take three days off. Others will work as usual tomorrow.” n1Gs4O

Everyone answered in unison, “Yes, General!”

On a huge table, incense ashes were blown around to form seven big words: General and Madam, please walk home safely!

Then, the living soldiers, with a chorus of laughter, also shouted: “General and Madam, please walk home safely!”

Le Yao waved goodbye, and went home with Xu Yao. KuIZPr

“Is it really alright if we don’t go back to Tarot?” Xu Yao asked Le Yao after they had arrived home.

“It’s alright. You may not know about the situation at home, but I don’t want to enter that house ever again anyway.” Le Yao finished taking a bath and laid down on the bed. “You had also said that every month there would be soldiers going back. In fact, isn’t it alright to ask them to buy some small things? As for the selection of books for the library, since it’s related to the improvement of military literacy and skills, I think it’s better that you come along as well. I wouldn’t know which books to buy.”

“Okay, then you must tell me if you have anything else you want.” Xu Yao added, “Or you can buy it yourself online. Also, don’t tire yourself out. If you want to buy something to eat, just wait for me to accompany you to the cold shed or the cafeteria, and don’t carry heavy things by yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not that delicate.” Le Yao waved indifferently. After a while, he felt a little hungry, so he went to burn some incense for Rong Gui and Ji Fengyu, before heating a glass of milk for himself, and went to bed satisfied. After a while, he took his communicator off his wrist, searched for some gentle prenatal music in the communicator to listen to, and after switching on the loudspeaker, placed it on the bedside drawer. qRMJEm

Then, Le Yao fell asleep.

Xu Yao was amused by his wife’s sleeping preparations. Suddenly, he received a call from Guan Xuefeng.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Xu Yao, did Yan Jie send some kind of small wooden fish to the Yang Family recently?” Guan asked, “Was it your doing?”

“Yes. I asked Yan Jie to send it. Is there any problem, Uncle Guan?” ZAiCFr

“The Yang Family has been doing really well recently. Some people have been saying that it’s related to this lucky wooden fish. Now, the Jiang Family is inquiring for news about the wooden fish everywhere. Le Feishan even asked me about it, and also specified that the little wooden fish came from your division. As you know, the Jiang Family and the Yang Family are rivals. The Jiang Family also wants this fish now.”

“Oh, about that, the wooden fish really can’t be handed over to them. We are willing to make the charms if you need them, but we are not willing to do it for the Jiang Family.” Xu Yao added, “Otherwise, can you deal with them if I make two ‘fake’ wooden fish?”

“That’s fine too, at least I won’t have to listen to his grumbling anytime soon. Anyways, aren’t you planning to return to Tarot in two days? Also, have Tang Ye and his team arrived safely at Huaxia?”

“Yes, they’ve come back safely. But I don’t plan to go back at this time.” From the living room, Xu Yao looked at Le Yao, who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. “Le Yao is pregnant with triplets. President Liu said it’s not suitable for him to travel too far.” Y0S5ie

“Three… three what?” Guan Xuefeng, the Commander who always had a calm and steady expression was incredibly surprised, “Xu Yao, you can’t be poss–!”

“It’s possible, Uncle Guan.” Xu Yao said with a smile, “In other words, neither I nor Le Yao will be returning this time. As for Le Feishan, let me tell you the truth, Uncle Guan. He is not worthy of being a father, so Le Yao has no intention to side with him anymore. Previously, Le Yao had no other choice but to come here with me. Now, between staying here and going back, I think he would prefer to stay with me. What do you think?”

Uncle Guan replied, “That’s right. If he doesn’t want to leave the 12th Army, who dares to force him?! They’ll have to face me first!”

“But… Xu Yao, is that little wooden fish really so spiritual? If it’s convenient, can you get one for me later? Recently, your Uncle Ye has been suffering from insomnia and sleeps very badly. We have already had it checked out at a lot of hospitals, but none of their prescriptions seem to be helping. I just want him to sleep well.”  136dya

Xu Yao replied, “Alright, I’ll ask Le Yao later.”

Ye Linran was Guan Xuefeng’s spouse and worked as a designer. When Xu Yao was a child, he had also received a lot of care from this man. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this man was his half-a-father to him.

Finally, Guan Xuefeng asked again, “Is Le Yao really going to have triplets?” After getting a verbal confirmation, he became extremely happy at the thought of having his own grandchildren.

On the other side, Le Feishan and his family were very worried. Ever since Wang Hao had came back empty handed, Le Feishan’s mood had worsened increasingly, and the Jiang Family had been continuously out of luck. First, the Yang Family’s second son and the Jiang Family’s grandson had pursued the same girl, but she ended up choosing the Yang Family’s second son. The second thing was that Dr. Liang, who was also being pursued by both families at the same time, also ended up choosing the Yang family instead. Furthermore, half a year ago, there was a piece of land that Le Feishan had wanted to buy to build a factory and he had already gone through half of the formalities for it, but now, it was being said that this transaction couldn’t be approved for the time being.  FdyLBc

In the past, Le Feishan was not very superstitious, but recently, Jiang Xinduo had been really skeptical about their situation.

Jiang Xinduo kept insisting that the small wood-carved fish played an important role. Lately, the Yang Family business had everything go very smoothly for them and the Jiang Family had been very unlucky, and this was very suspicious.

“Anyways, you have to find a way to get this fish. Otherwise, the Jiang Family will continue to decline, and we will also not be able to survive it.” Jiang Xinduo said to Le Feishan, “Are you sure this thing came from the Flying Wolf Division? You are Xu Yao’s superior, ah. Just tell him that you want one, won’t he give you face?”

“If he knew how to give me face, he would have brought Le Yao back to me!” Le Feishan’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. “Just be quiet. Wait for Guan Xuefeng’s reply.” dMYFTw

As soon as Le Feishan had finished speaking, his communicator flashed, “General, Commander Guan is asking for a holographic call with you.” 

“Pick it up,” said Le Feishan. Before long, he saw Guan Xuefeng’s face. He smiled and said, “Brother Guan, you finally contacted me. How is it? Do you have any information about that thing?”

“Un.” Guan Xuefeng said, “That fish can be made but you have to wait. It will take some time.”

“How long?” mqxjy9

“At least twenty days, and at most it’ll take a month.”

“That long?!” At least Le Feishan could get the thing, but it would take so long! It’s too long a wait!

“Then, if you think it’s a long wait, I really can’t help it. Nevertheless, I had put down my old face and ask for it for you.” Guan Xuefeng added, “If you don’t want it, I’ll keep it.”

“No no no!” Le Feishan said, “Alright! I’ll wait then. When you get it, please let me know. I’ll send someone over to fetch it.” sO2d3P

“Okay.” Guan Xuefeng then cut off communication and gave a cold ‘hum’. Send someone to fetch it? Fetch your ass!

The author has something to say: 

Le Yao: Husband, is Uncle Guan very bad? azvi1u

Xu Yao: Not too bad. Why?

Le Yao: You are really like him…

Xu Yao: Baby, although I can’t bully the four of you right now, is it really good for you to scold me like this?

Le Yao: … hvsYrw

I can’t believe we’ve gotten halfway through the story (´；д；`)
