"First place, Chen Jiao."
"Second place, Lu Zhengxu..."
Lu Zhengxu and Shen Jiao had just arrived at the gate of Wancheng High School where the grades were posted. Before they could squeeze in to see the red list, they heard the voices of students inside reading out their rankings and names.
The couple looked at each other and saw appreciation and joy in each other's eyes.
Although she heard other people reading out their names, when Chen Jiao squeezed in and actually saw her own name at the top of the red list.
She couldn't help but jump up with joy and hugged Lu Zhengxu.
Lu Zhengxu caught her steadily, "My Jiaojiao is so amazing!"
Shen Beixiao squeezed into the crowd more excitedly than Shen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu.
When she saw the name at the top of the red paper, she rubbed her eyes hard in disbelief.
Shen Jiao!
The one who got first place in the exam is really his sister Chen Jiao?
His sister who didn't like studying became the top scorer in the college entrance examination!
After confirming this, he slapped his thigh with joy, "Jiaojiao, I knew that my sister Shen Beixiao would definitely not be a useless fool! You were not good at studying at the beginning, and it was that bastard Chen Haoyu who misled you..."
He turned and said excitedly to Shen Jiao.
But what we saw was a scene of Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu hugging each other.
His excited expression fell in an instant.
Pulling Chen Jiao off from Lu Zhengxu like a sloth, he frowned and said, "Chen Jiao! Pay attention to your image outside. Even if he is your man, how can you hug him in public?"
Chen Jiao smiled and honestly distanced herself from Lu Zhengxu.
After all, it was still the 1970s, and even if a couple had such intimate contact in public, they would be pointed at.
When Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu returned to the military region, the fact that they were the top scorers and second placers in the college entrance examination had already spread throughout the military region.
In the next few days, military wives who had a good relationship with Chen Jiao and comrades who had a good relationship with Lu Zhengxu all came to congratulate them.
Even the old chief came.
Chen Jiao's family was filled with joy, but Zhang Fengxia's family was in a very low mood.
"What the hell? Isn't it just that he got admitted to a university? These people immediately went up to flatter him. I would have thought that the couple were going to take over the old leader's job!" Zhang Fengxia glanced at the bustling entrance of Chen Jiao's house and said sarcastically.
“Bang!”
Liang Yong slapped the table with an angry face, "Shut up! Don't you think you haven't offended me enough? I tell you, next time you see Chen Jiao, you must speak nicely to me. If you can't do that, get out of here and go back home. Don't make me unable to stay in the army!"
Zhang Fengxia shrank her neck and dared not say anything more.
She herself knew that her man had spent most of his life climbing to the position of political commissar of the regiment, and his life would probably end like this.
But Lu Zhengxu is different. Lu Zhengxu is already the regiment leader at a young age, and now he has been admitted to the military academy. After graduating from the academy, he will surely reach a higher level.
She really couldn't offend Shen Jiao again.
Even the children need to be watched carefully and they cannot go out and offend others.
Chen Jiao finally chose Tsinghua University in the capital, and Lu Zhengxu also chose a military academy in the capital.
Considering that both of them would go to the capital to study after the Chinese New Year and needed to go home to make some preparations, the old leader specially approved a one-month vacation for Lu Zhengxu.
As soon as the two children's kindergarten started their winter vacation, the family prepared to go home.
It has been a whole year since I left Dajiang Village. Every time I wrote to them or called them, both Wu Guilan and Mr. and Mrs. Xu said that they were doing well.
Chen Jiao couldn't help but feel worried.
Shen Beixiao sent their family to the train station.
Before Shen Jiaolin got on the train, she was still a little worried and confirmed with Shen Beixiao: "Brother, you promised me that you would definitely go home during the New Year's holiday!"
Shen Beixiao's eyes were full of doting, but he looked helpless, "Don't worry, don't worry, I promised you, I will definitely do what I said."
"Pink pinky!" Chen Jiao extended her little finger without hesitation.
Shen Beixiao rolled his eyes in disdain, but still stretched out his finger, "Pull the hook and hang it for a hundred years and don't change. Whoever changes will be an ugly monster."

When I set foot on the land of Dajiang Village again, Wu Guilan was already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Although they were not at home this year, Wu Guilan looked a lot younger than before, and even the wrinkles on her face seemed to have decreased.
"Oh, my dear grandson, come and let grandma see it!"
As soon as Wu Guilan saw them, she came over excitedly and hugged Yangyang and Nannan in her arms.
She touched the two little ones' faces and bodies and said, "My dear grandson and granddaughter have grown taller and stronger. It's great!"
"Grandma, Nannan, my brother, and my parents all miss you so much. Don't you miss us too?"
"I miss you! Of course I do. Grandma misses you every day!" Wu Guilan said with tears in her eyes.
She wiped her tears and held Shen Jiao's hand, "Jiao Jiao, you must be tired after taking the train back! Come on, come home with mom. I killed a chicken and stewed it for you today. I've also boiled hot water for you at home. You can take a hot bath, drink the hot chicken soup, and have a good rest tonight."
When Chen Jiao heard Wu Guilan's words, she felt warm in her heart.
My heart feels warm, and I don’t feel cold even in this cold winter.
Chen Jiao originally thought that since they got home so late today, only Wu Guilan would know that they were back.
Unexpectedly, when they returned home, the second branch of the Lu family brought them food, a big bowl of braised pork and freshly baked potatoes, paired with homemade chili powder, which was particularly fragrant.
