In her previous life, Xu Miaomiao was sensitive and thoughtful. She was misled by her stepsister, a white lotus, causing her to become estranged from her family. She was also manipulated by her ste...
A car with a military license plate was speeding along a country road, and the golden crops on both sides swayed in the wind created by the car.
There were two delicate children and three adults in the car. A short man in military uniform was driving in the front, and a couple was sitting in the back seat, each holding a child.
The group of people were Chen Chen and Xu Miaomiao, who went home to celebrate their child's birthday because Chen Chen had performed well recently.
So they transferred him to take charge of their newly opened department, and Xiao Li, as his deputy, naturally followed him.
This car was assigned to him after his promotion. It would be too tiring to take the train with two children, so the two of them discussed it and decided to just drive back with Xiao Li.
Xu Miaomiao held her second child, Chen Yu'an, in her arms, and the mother and daughter leaned on the car window and looked out. She had walked this road from the town back to the Hexi Brigade many times that year.
Now looking at the familiar road in front of him, memories came to his mind. The eldest brother Chen Yuning felt a little carsick and was now drowsy sitting in Chen Chen's arms.
As the car was about to enter the Hexi Brigade, we could now see the big tree at the entrance of the village and the old people chatting under the tree.
Xu Miaomiao excitedly reached out and tugged at Chen Chen's sleeve, "We're home!"
Although they lived in the military family compound most of the time after they got married, this was their first home that truly belonged to them.
Chen Chen held the wilted child in one hand and rubbed her head with the other, saying with emotion, "Yes, we're home."
It has been more than a year since I last returned. Although I saw Wang Yan when she gave birth, I still miss my family so much.
Now that it is autumn, some of the early mature crops can be harvested.
The villagers of Hexi Brigade were all working hard in the fields when they heard the roar of a car coming from the road.
Cars are a rare thing nowadays, and when they heard the sound, they quickly looked up at the road.
"Where did this car come from? Are there any people like this in our village?"
"I haven't heard of it? Could it be that some high-ranking official from the city is here to inspect?"
"Hey, is this a military brand?"
"Look! Isn't that the third kid from the Chen family?!!!"
A sharp-eyed woman saw Chen Chen through the car window and immediately exclaimed, attracting everyone to look towards the car window.
Chen Jianghe at the edge of the field was wondering when Chen Chen and the others would come back, when he heard the villagers over there not working and chattering about something.
By this time the car had already sped away, leaving behind only a cloud of flying dust.
Chen Jianghe didn't see anything special and turned around and shouted at them.
"What are you doing? Aren't you working? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll deduct your work points!"
Chen Jianghe glared at the aunts and sisters, but since they had been in the same village for so many years, everyone knew his temper, so they were not afraid of him at all.
Seeing that he was still thinking about work points, Aunt Guixiang quickly reminded him.
"Captain, please go home! We just saw a car driving into the village!"
"That's your third son in the car! Your son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson are back to see you!"
When Chen Jianghe heard that he was driving a car, he was a little unconvinced and said with a stern face.
"Don't be ridiculous. Where did my little boy get a car? Go get to work!"
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Aunt Guixiang pointed at the people behind her anxiously and said.
"Why would I joke with you? If you don't believe me, why don't you ask them?"
Seeing her serious expression, Chen Jianghe was a little unsure for a moment.
The people behind Aunt Guixiang also quickly echoed her.
"That's right! Captain, I'm not kidding, he's really your third kid!"
"Yeah, the car he drives is so impressive!"
"The third kid has really made it big. He even owns a car. There aren't many of them in our town!"
Chen Jianghe looked at the seven or eight people who were swearing so confidently, and only then did he believe that it was really Chen Chen and the others who had returned.
He didn't care about anything else at the moment. He pushed the scorebook in his hand into Liu Fu's arms and ran home.
As he ran, he said to Liu Fu, "I'm taking a leave this afternoon. Please record my work points..."
Before he could finish his words, he ran away and disappeared without a trace. Everyone who saw him sighed in their hearts.
Such speed! The captain is still going strong!
Chen Jianghe ran home from a small road. When he got home, their car was parked in the yard and the two of them were getting out of the car holding the child.
Wang Yan, who was in the house, heard the sound of a car in the yard and came out to check with a confused look on her face. When she saw that the driver was a young man in military uniform, her heart began to beat faster.
When he saw Xu Miaomiao opening the back door and getting out of the car, his mouth almost stretched to his ears and he hurried to meet her.
He took the child from Xu Miaomiao's arms, and kept stroking the child's little hands and face. He liked the child so much that he didn't know what to do.
While adoring the child, he also found time to ask Xu Miaomiao and the others, "I've been wondering when you'll be back these past few days. How come you're coming back in a car?"
After Xu Miaomiao sent the child out, she turned around and moved the things they brought back from Beijing out of the car.
He replied in a muffled voice, "Chen Chen got a promotion, and the army gave him a new car. We were worried about the child getting into trouble by taking the train."
"I applied to my boss, paid for the gas myself, and drove back."
Wang Yan's mind was now on her child, and she didn't pay much attention to what she said.
After Xiao Li parked the car, he quickly got out to help Xu Miaomiao move the things downstairs. Only then did Chen Chen get out of the car holding the child.
Chen Jianghe was an elderly man after all, and he jogged all the way back, panting heavily.
Chen Chen saw him coming in from the gate and quickly said, "Dad, we're back."
Chen Jianghe's eyes seemed to be glued to the child in his arms. The child's face was white and tender, and he was lying on his father's shoulder with a look of grievance.
Chen Jianghe nodded perfunctorily, looked at the child and asked, "What's wrong with the child? Why do you look so listless?"
As he spoke, he walked around the child anxiously, looking at the child who wanted to reach out and hug him but was hesitant, his brows furrowed in worry.
Seeing him like this, Chen Chen felt a little amused. When had he ever seen his father so timid?
It’s not that Chen Jianghe has never held a child before. He has held several grandchildren in his family. He is not a person who favors boys over girls, and he also cherishes his two granddaughters.
But I don’t know if it’s because Xu Miaomiao raised her children too well, the two children are so pink and chubby.
The child was as tender as tofu, and he didn't dare to hold him in his arms.
Seeing him like that, Chen Chen kindly handed the child to him and answered his question.
"The child is a little carsick, so he doesn't look very energetic. It's okay, he just needs to rest."
Chen Jianghe was holding a soft baby in his arms, his whole body was frozen, not daring to move at all, for fear of making the child uncomfortable.
