"Since it's a second marriage, we don't plan on having a big wedding. We'll just invite two tables of guests to the army to have some fun. Deputy Commander Tong has always felt bad for our family because of what happened with Li Chunmei, so he invited us to this wedding as well," said Gu Weicheng.

Li Xia calculated the time. It had only been a short time since Li Chunmei gave birth to a stillborn baby and Deputy Captain Tong divorced her. She didn't expect that he would get married again so soon.

Thinking of Deputy Captain Tong's daughters, Li Xia couldn't help but worry about those children.

But she couldn't say much about other people's affairs. It would be embarrassing not to attend a wedding invitation. So Li Xia nodded and said, "Okay, when is it?"

"It's this Sunday, one week earlier than Lao Hu and the others." Gu Weicheng said.

"That will be soon, in three days." Li Xia said.

When sleeping at night, Li Xia lay in Gu Weicheng's arms and suddenly asked: "Weicheng, I want to ask you a question. If, I mean if, if I suddenly passed away, would you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped on the butt.

"Ah!" Li Xia glared at Gu Weicheng, accusing the man in front of her with her eyes, and said with dissatisfaction, pouting her lips, "Gu Weicheng! Why did you hit me?"

"I'll let you off with your nonsense." Gu Weicheng said fiercely, "How can you say such things casually? If you say such bad things again next time, I will spank you again."

"I just said what if..." Li Xia knew he was in the wrong, so his voice became much softer.

Gu Weicheng hugged her tightly and said firmly: "There is no such if. You will always be fine and live to be a hundred years old without any illness or disaster. We will grow old together and watch An An grow up. When he gets married and has children in the future, we will help take care of the grandchildren. Don't say stupid things in the future, understand?"

"Well, I won't say anything." Li Xia nodded, knowing that she had said something wrong, and couldn't help but say, "But wouldn't living to be a hundred years old be too long? By then, all my teeth will have fallen out, and I'll be a toothless old lady. Would you like that?"

"I like it. When your teeth fall out, I will chew the pig's trotters into pieces and give them to you to eat." Gu Weicheng said.

"Eh..." Li Xia made a disgusted expression and frowned, "Stop talking, it's disgusting. Besides, you are four years older than me, so your teeth will definitely fall out before mine."

Seeing Li Xia's expression, Gu Wei couldn't help it and reached out to pinch the tip of her nose.

In fact, he also felt disgusted, but he just wanted to tease Li Xia. Looking at her disgusted expression, he felt so vivid and beautiful.

"Does it hurt?" Gu Weicheng asked suddenly.

Li Xia was stunned: "Ah?"

Gu Weicheng coughed lightly: "Butt, does it hurt?"

Li Xia's face turned red: "It doesn't hurt, but you can't spank me anymore. I'm not a child..."

After hearing this, Gu Weicheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Looking at Li Xia curled up in his arms, what Gu Weicheng didn't say in his heart was that if something really happened to Li Xia, he felt that he would lose the will to live.

But if he sacrificed himself, he hoped that Li Xia could live well.

I don’t know if it was because I thought too much before going to bed, but Li Xia had a dream that night.

The time in the dream was several decades earlier than now, probably the Republic of China period.

The fire was very big and there were cries and shouts everywhere. Later, she saw a man walking slowly towards the Buddha statue, bowing his head with every step.

He didn't know how long he walked like this. His knees and forehead were bleeding, and there were two long trails of blood behind him.

"Please, Bodhisattva, save my beloved wife. Please, Bodhisattva, save my beloved wife. Please, Bodhisattva, save my beloved wife..."

The last scene shows the man holding a woman in his arms and appearing in front of the Buddha statue again. He holds a gun in his hand, pointing it at his temple.

"If there is a spirit in heaven, please allow my beloved wife and I to be husband and wife again in the next life."

"Bang——"

"Ah! No, no!" Li Xia struggled to wake up from the dream, only to find that she was already in tears, wetting the pillow.

"Wife, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Weicheng immediately hugged Li Xia in his arms and coaxed her softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here. Dreams are the opposite of reality. What's bad in a dream is good in reality."

In fact, he doesn't believe in things like dreams being positive or negative, but he still uses these words to coax his wife.

"Yeah, I had a terrible dream..." Li Xia also hugged Gu Weicheng tightly back.

Only by holding him tightly like this could she ease the fear and heart-wrenching emotions in her heart.

"It's okay, everything is okay." Gu Weicheng coaxed her in a low voice, gently stroking her back with his hand, as if he was coaxing a child.

At this time, An An also ran over from the small room next door: "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you!"

That little face was full of anxiety and concern: "Dad, what happened? What happened to Mom?"

He came in such a hurry that he didn't even notice that he had put his shoes on the wrong way.

Ji Feng also ran over behind him and looked around the room. Not finding anything unusual, he looked at his master, as if asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Mom had a nightmare." Gu Weicheng said.

Li Xia felt a little embarrassed when she realized that she had just had a nightmare and her whole family came over.

She waved to An An, and An An came over and let his mother hug him.

"An An must be anxious." Li Xia kissed An An's forehead.

An An nodded: "Yeah, I thought Mom was in danger. But it turns out that Mom can also be afraid when she has a nightmare?"

"Of course, Mom would be afraid too. But, as long as An An and Dad are with her, she is not afraid of anything." Li Xia looked at Gu Weicheng and An An and said with a smile.

At this time, Jifeng made a sound, as if it was unhappy that Lixia did not mention it.

Li Xia and An An looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

An An said: "Mom, you didn't mention Ji Feng just now, Ji Feng was reminding you."

Li Xia immediately said, "Let me put it again. I have An An, Dad, and Ji Feng with me, so I am not afraid of anything."

This time Jifeng was satisfied and wagged his tail vigorously.

…

Sunday arrived quickly, and Gu Weicheng and Li Xia took An An to Tong's house to attend the wedding banquet.

Also going with them were Captain Ma and Mrs. Tao. After all, they were their former partners, so they had to attend such a happy event.

As for the children, there are too many children at home, three of them, so we didn’t take them with us.

I heard from Mrs. Tao that the woman Deputy Captain Tong married this time was from Yuncheng. She had been married before, but she was still not pregnant after two years of marriage, and her husband's family divorced her because they thought she could not have children.

Deputy Captain Tong decided to marry her because she could not have children anymore. In addition, she was an honest and decent person, and she would be good to his three daughters after she married him.

After hearing what Mrs. Tao said, Li Xia felt better about Deputy Captain Tong.

Otherwise, no matter how disrespectful the previous one was, it would be too hasty to marry again in such a short time.

Li Xia sighed at the time, and she also thought of the three little girls in Tong's family. Their biological mother was not a good person to begin with, and their father found a stepmother so quickly. Who knows what will happen.

When they arrived at Tong's house, Li Xia saw that the three little girls were all wearing new clothes. They were no longer like when Li Chunmei was around, when the children always wore dirty and old clothes.

Her hair is also combed beautifully, and it is obvious that the stepmother put a lot of thought into it.

Not only that, there were more smiles on their faces, especially Tong Zhaodi, who came close to her stepmother Zhang Lanhua and said something, but soon both of them were laughing.

When Li Xia saw them like this, she couldn't help but feel happy for them.

"Why are you happy again? I thought you had a problem with Deputy Captain Tong and came here unhappily." Gu Weicheng leaned close to Li Xia's ear and whispered.

"So you said yesterday that you might as well come to the wedding alone, right?" Li Xia had already guessed what Gu Weicheng was thinking.

She said: "I have no problem with Deputy Head Tong. At the beginning, I was worried about these little girls and was afraid that they would be sad. But now that I see that they are living better than before, of course I am happy again."

"I guess that's it. My wife has the kindest heart." Gu Weicheng said.

In fact, what Gu Weicheng said was correct. Li Xia's empathy ability was indeed stronger than that of ordinary people.

So when she sees suffering, she will also feel pain, but it is precisely because of her strong empathy that she can write good works.

Soon the food started to be served. The men wanted to drink, so they sat at one table and the women sat at another.

In fact, Gu Weicheng wanted to sit with his wife, but everyone else had already sat there, and Li Xia urged him: "Everyone is watching. The men are all at that table, and you are the only one not going. What a shame. Besides, I have Sister Tao to accompany me. Although I don't know the other sisters-in-law, I will get to know them after chatting for a while."

Only then did Gu Weicheng reluctantly go to the man's table.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Li, you two have a really good relationship. What's the word for it? Seven or eight."

An An thought for a while and answered quickly: "Auntie, I know, they are inseparable!"

"Yes, yes, that's it." Mrs. Tao laughed, "An An is just smart. Your parents are so good at giving birth to such a smart son."

An An felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and just chuckled.

Deputy Head Tong and Zhang Lanhua toasted everyone: "Everyone, enjoy your meal and drink. Don't be polite!"

At this moment, a sharp voice rang out: "Tong Defa, you damn bastard! It's only been a short time since you divorced me, and you've remarried. Are you still a human being?"

It’s Li Chunmei.

Li Chunmei stood at the door, glaring at Deputy Head Tong and Zhang Lanhua.

Especially when she saw Zhang Lanhua, Li Chunmei's eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to cut off Zhang Lanhua's flesh piece by piece.

"Why are you here?" Deputy Captain Tong's face immediately darkened when he saw Li Chunmei appear here.

Li Chunmei was clearly sent back to her hometown by him, so why did she come here suddenly?
