"Egg, Qingqing, it's getting late, let's go home."

Lu Fangfang had been busy at the farm all day when she came out and found several little guys playing wildly on the pasture. She quickly waved to them.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua quickened her pace and arrived in front of Lu Fangfang.

Little Wild Donkey, Egg, and Green also rushed over.

"Awoo~"

On the meadow, the little yellow dog looked at them and whimpered a few times.

It wanted to go home with them, but looking at its children and wife, it could only return to its burrow dejectedly.

Lu Fangfang saw the little yellow dog's expression, smiled, and shook her head.

Stroking Xiaohua's head, she walked home, saying, "Xiaohua, stay a couple more days this time. Qingqing missed you so much..."

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua stopped and looked up at Lu Fangfang.

"I miss Xiaohua too."

"Meow~"

Little Flower exclaimed happily and followed closely behind her.

Back home, Xiaohua sniffed around the house for a while before jumping onto the double wooden bed on the west side.

In the corner of the bedside table, there was a ball.

Little Flower used her claws to hook herself in front of him and hugged him.

Egg and Green climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Little Flower.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey glanced at them, then went into the yard on its own.

It walked up to Lu Fangfang, stretched its head, and nuzzled into the cloth bag.

"Alright, I'll remember your payment. I'll make you something delicious right away."

Lu Fangfang pushed the donkey's head away and started making dinner.

In the evening, she cooked a pot of sea cucumber soup, added some dried meat that she had dried earlier, and served a small bowl each to Xiaohua and Xiaoyelu.

During the meal, Zhuang Mingcheng couldn't help but pat Xiaohua's head.

Little Flower missed Zhuang Mingcheng too. After finishing its soup, it lay down next to Zhuang Mingcheng.

Zhuang Mingcheng stroked it again, then looked up and asked, "Xiuxiu, when are you planning to get married to Xu Huayun?"

"Brother-in-law, we plan to build a house after the weather gets warmer, and then get married at the end of summer."

"Old Xu and I plan to just invite a few people for tea and some wedding candy, and we won't have a banquet."

Xiuxiu sounded a little embarrassed as she spoke.

Old Xu's family background was problematic, so they didn't want a big, extravagant wedding; a low-key ceremony would suffice.

"Brother-in-law, I... I and Lao Xu, we won't affect you, will we?"

"fine."

Zhuang Mingcheng shook his head, not caring about it.

The situation between China and the north is becoming increasingly tense, with both sides continuously stationing troops along the border.

A few months ago, the Soviet Union caused trouble in Xinjiang again, ambushing our border patrol team and resulting in the deaths of more than 20 border soldiers. War was truly imminent.

In the military now, sports activities are gradually decreasing, and training and combat readiness are becoming the mainstream.

The military region will recruit a large number of new soldiers this year, and the training tasks are also very heavy.

"Xiuxiu, your sister and I are going to the military region soon, and we don't know if we'll be able to make it in time for your wedding."

Across from her, Lu Fangfang looked up in surprise at her husband.

Beside her, Xiuxiu also realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, you're getting promoted? To deputy division commander?"

"I'm not a deputy division commander. The military region intends for me to serve as the division chief of staff, and they formally asked for my opinion today."

Zhuang Mingcheng could no longer hide the joy on his face.

Although the division chief of staff is not as good as the deputy division commander, he is still a deputy division-level cadre. If it weren't for the newly established 19th Army and the large-scale expansion of the army, he wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.

"Mingcheng, when are we going to the division headquarters?"

While Lu Fangfang was pleasantly surprised, she also felt a sense of loss.

Having lived in Qilian for four years, she has fallen in love with the place.

Fortunately, the division is not far from here, so she can come here often when she has time.

"Around mid-June, Lao Zhao and I will be busy for a while longer."

"June……"

Lu Fangfang calculated the days; it was already the end of February in the Gregorian calendar, which meant there were still three or four months left.

Looking down at Little Flower and Little Wild Donkey, she was suddenly filled with reluctance.

"Dad, are we moving?"

Beside him, Egg raised his head and belatedly asked.

"Yeah, Egg, we're moving to the city, to near your place, Iron Egg's house. It's close to the city, and there are lots of fun places there..."

Wow~

Before Zhuang Mingcheng could finish speaking, Qingqing suddenly burst into tears.

She ran to Little Flower and hugged its neck tightly.

"No, no, I don't want to move. I want to stay here. I want my sister. I want to be with my sister."

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua nudged Qing Qing, then looked up at Lu Fangfang with a puzzled expression.

Beside him, the little wild donkey also raised its head in confusion.

Feeling the gazes of the two little ones, Lu Fangfang's eyes suddenly reddened.

She put down her chopsticks, got up, and walked over to the two little ones.

"Xiaohua, Mingcheng is going to the division headquarters, and I'm going with him. We're moving this summer, so you should stay on the snow mountain and not come to the family compound anymore."

"But don't worry, Dan'er, Qingqing, and I will come back to see you often, it's just... it's just..."

Lu Fangfang's nose tingled, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua quickly got up and licked Lu Fangfang's face.

"You...you and Fatty should get along well and stay healthy."

Lu Fangfang wiped away her tears and looked at the little wild donkey again.

"And you, you big gluttonous donkey, you're the one I worry about the most. You'd better hurry up and find a donkey wife, or come with us to the city. It'll save you from getting used to good food and not being able to adjust..."
