Chapter 504 Nightmare
Lu Yuxiu is going on a mission again.
In the past two years, he has been on fewer missions. Although he is still busy, he can come back at night most of the time.
But this time many people will leave, even Yang Hongmei will go back to the family compound, because Wu Deye has to go too.
He said he was going out the night before, but he was nowhere to be seen the next morning.
Lin Xia originally wanted to see him off in the morning, but the man seemed to do it on purpose, causing Lin Xia to not wake up at all in the morning.
Seeing the light filtering through the curtains, it was getting late. Lin Xia sat up with a weak waist. Although they were not together every day, Lin Xia suddenly felt a little empty inside.
Lin Xia knew exactly what that point was, but she still had to live her life, except for the occasional time when she prepared a bunch of dishes for dinner only to find that Lu Yuxiu was not at home.
The two children occasionally asked when their father would be back, but otherwise they were very well behaved because they had tasks to complete.
Since the child’s father is not at home, Lin Xia spends more time at home, only going to Guangcheng occasionally.
The party was about to start, and Lin Xia was packing up in the office. After finishing her work, she was ready to go back home.
Yang Hongmei came in just in time to get her signature. After she signed, she watched her pack up her things. "You said that I don't see you every day when I'm in Guangcheng, but now that Old Wu is gone, I feel very anxious."
Lin Xia: "Who isn't? The sisters-in-law in the family compound don't gossip much."
We used to chat endlessly under the big tree every day, but now we sigh while chatting. Those who used to love quarreling and bickering don’t do that anymore.
Lin Xia was not very clear about a lot of history, but she knew that they were able to live such a stable life because of the silent efforts of many people behind the scenes.
Among those people were Lu Yuxiu, Wu Deye, and the men in the family compound.
Yang Hongmei sighed: "I don't know what's going on with the army. There's not even a phone call."
Da Jun had joined the Marine Corps a year ago. As a new recruit in the southwest, it was of course impossible for him to have home leave. He rarely even called home, only received occasional letters.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." This is all Lin Xia could comfort her.
Yang Hongmei couldn't help but mutter, "Why is this kid so determined to join the army? Why doesn't he stay here? He has to go to such a faraway place."
Lin Xia knew a little about it, but she couldn't tell Yang Hongmei.
"You should go back and visit Niu Niu more often. This is a critical moment for her." Niu Niu is already in high school. She was supposed to take the college entrance examination this year, but now she has to study for one more year. No one knows what will happen to her in the future.
Yang Hongmei nodded: "Yes, she is preparing to go back. The child heard Ningning and the others say that they were going to take the exam early, and insisted on going with them. She really wanted to leave home."
Lin Xia couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "The kids want to work hard and go out to see the world. Isn't that promising?"
Thinking of her youngest son who was studying in another city, Yang Hongmei sighed, "Alas, I can't keep him here! You are lucky because you have two little ones to keep you company."
Lin Xia: "I can't be with you for a few more years."
Yang Hongmei: "Yes, we have to fly away sooner or later, so we can keep each other company."
Lin Xia smiled: "Yes, and there is also your Old Wu."
After the two finished chatting, Lin Xia hurried to catch the bus back home.
The days were peaceful. Occasionally, after finishing her busy work, Lin Xia would sigh and wonder why someone hadn't come back yet.
As time went by, the two children couldn't help but ask, "Mom, when will Dad come back?"
Lin Xia calculated the time and realized that she had been out for more than two months. From the spring when she wore long sleeves to early summer, there was still no news from Lu Yuxiu.
When he had been away for such a long time in the past, the time and itinerary were kept confidential, so it would be useless even if Lin Xia went to the army to ask.
She couldn't let the children know about her worries, so she could only calmly reply, "I will definitely be back when the time comes, don't worry."
The two decided to take part in this year's high school entrance examination. The amount of study was huge, so Lin Xia personally tutored them.
Lele praised: Even if Lin Xia doesn't start a company, it would be nice to be a teacher.
Lin Xia glanced back and said, "That's because you are my son. If you don't study hard, I can beat you."
But when she was a teacher, she couldn't do it when she encountered other disobedient children, even though it was common for teachers to beat children at that time.
Lele shrank his neck and went to review obediently.
Lin Xia got up to cook. While she was busy, she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs and someone shouting happily.
Lin Xia suddenly seemed to come to her senses, dropped the spatula and ran out the door.
When the two children saw Lin Xia running out the door, they looked at each other and ran out too.
As soon as Lin Xia went downstairs, she saw some men coming back from the family compound. They were being stared at by their family members, who then smiled.
Lin Xia looked around for the familiar figure, but she didn't see anyone, including Wu Deye and Song Yu. She couldn't help but pull a familiar company commander to ask, "Have you seen Lu Yuxiu?"
"I don't know. I didn't see Captain Lu." The other party shook his head.
Lin Xia then thought that he was the leader and might have to stay to deal with something, so it was normal for him not to be the first to go home.
This happened often before. Lin Xiasong felt a lump in his chest, feeling a little stuffy and uncomfortable. He put away his disappointment and prepared to go home.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Lele and his friend were halfway down the stairs when they saw Lin Xia walking back, and asked in confusion.
"I haven't returned yet. I may be busy for a while." Lin Xia explained.
When Lin Xia returned home and saw the burnt food in the pot, she remembered that she had just gone out and forgot to serve it up.
Throwing away the burnt parts, Lin Xia went to prepare some bacon to cut, in case Lu Yuxiu came back later there wouldn't be enough to eat.
After a busy day, it was getting dark outside, but Lu Yuxiu still hadn't come back.
Lin Xia looked at the two children who were so hungry that they were eating snacks, put away her worried expression and said, "Let's eat first and don't wait for your dad."
The two children looked at each other and felt that something had happened, but they didn't want to say it out loud and make their mother worry, so they could only pretend nothing had happened and go to eat.
After dinner, when I took a shower and lay in bed, there was no sign of anyone.
Lin Xia was sure that he might not have come back yet, and she fell asleep only after there was no movement after about 12 o'clock.
But she was suddenly awakened by the shock. Lin Xia opened her eyes abruptly, calmed her heartbeat, and was still thinking about the dream just now.
She dreamed that she met Lu Yuxiu walking in front of her on the road. No matter how she called his name, it seemed like he couldn't hear her. Lin Xia hurriedly chased after him, but in a blink of an eye he disappeared.
Thinking of the dream she just had, Lin Xia told herself that everything was fine. It must be because she had been thinking about it for too long during dinner that she had such a dream.
After her heartbeat calmed down, Lin Xia lay back on the bed with Lu Yuxiu's pillow under her head. Over the past two months, his scent had faded a lot.
In the second half of the night, Lin Xia couldn't fall asleep with her eyes open. In the morning, she felt a little sleepy, but when she thought of Lu Yuxiu not coming back yet, she woke up suddenly and couldn't fall asleep again.
She simply got up and prepared breakfast for the children. But when the children all went out, Lin Xia felt a little restless.
