Busy and dedicated to his country, Sun Xiangqian thought that this was how his life would go.
Unexpectedly, eight years later, when he was promoted to group leader, the Huo family planned to secretly hold a grand celebration banquet for him.
Manman is already thirteen years old. He is taller than ordinary children and has inherited his father's dark face. His facial features have changed from a white egg to a young version of a black egg.
But it’s still different. When the boy smiles, it’s as warm as the spring breeze and especially bright and sunny.
Just like his mother.
"Uncle Hat, you're walking too slowly." Manman, holding a black cloth strip in her hand, walked behind him with squinted eyes, and stood on tiptoe to tie it for him.
Sun Xiangqian smiled from ear to ear: "I never thought that one day I would be able to have a surprise."
“That has to be WOW!”
Manman held his hand and walked forward.
This road leads to Yard No. 7, and Sun Xiangqian has walked this road countless times over the years.
The Huo family is like his second home, and he is not polite at all.
Not only him, everyone in the family compound liked to go to the Huo family. There were often aunts who would bring a ball of wool and sit there for the whole day.
Mrs. Han is old and retired from the research institute a long time ago.
The two old ladies, Cai Jinhua, plant flowers every day and have grown quite a few crops.
One summer day, every household in the family compound was filled with flowers. After a long day of work, the soldiers returned home and looked at the bright colors, and their fatigue disappeared.
There are no other outsiders in the Huo family today.
“Woof woof!”
Old Black Panther can hardly walk anymore. In the dog world, it is considered to be very old.
Seeing his old enemy, he tried to raise his upper body and barked weakly twice.
Jiang Ningning touched its head.
The black panther narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
According to Zhao Bao, the dog Black Panther is becoming more and more clever as he gets older, and is becoming more and more eager for favors every day.
"Mom, I'm going to the research institute to pick up my sister." Zhao Bao put on his cross-body bag and pushed out his bicycle.
Jiang Ningning reminded her: "Ride slowly, don't fall."
Zhao Bao responded happily and passed by Sun Xiangqian and Manman.
After entering the yard, Manman helped Sun Xiangqian sit on a chair.
"Uncle Hat, please wait a little longer. My dad went to pick up grandpa and hasn't come yet."
Sun Xiangqian raised his eyebrows, and Xue Laoju also wanted to come over.
Two years ago, Mr. Xue retired and handed over his position to Jiang Ningning. The whole group followed Mr. Sun to play chess and fish at the base and lived a retirement life.
The two old men bickered all day long, and their spirits grew more and more dejected.
Seeing that Mr. Xue had a large house full of children and grandchildren, with three grandchildren surrounding him every day, Mr. Sun felt more and more distressed about his little grandson.
It’s not that Mr. Sun didn’t arrange blind dates for Sun Xiangqian, but Sun Xiangqian knew he was not capable of it and didn’t want to delay other women’s ambitions.
This responsibility is awe-inspiring.
But if I spend the rest of my life alone, I would feel really bad.
Half an hour later, all three families arrived.
"Uncle Sun."
A sweet voice called out, "You can take off the blindfold now."
Sun Xiangqian took off the black cloth, feeling a little uncomfortable with the light, and blinked.
The three children of the Huo family held a big cake together, stood in front of him, and smiled sweetly at him.
Xia Xia, as a representative, spoke: "This is what my mother taught us. The three of us made the cake ourselves and gave it to Uncle Sun as a gift."
Over the years, Xia Xia has grown into a quiet girl, and Jiang Ningning can occasionally read love letters from her schoolbag. For this reason, Huo Donglin secretly complained to Sun Xiangqian many times.
Later, Xia Xia's school suddenly decided to conduct military training to strengthen the children's physical education.
