The others were exhausted from sitting on the train for several days, but the three of them were still healthy and full of energy when they got off the train.
Standing at the exit surrounded by a sea of people, the contrast is clear.
"䀲志, do you want to go to the General Political Department first, or follow us back to the West District compound?" Xiang Lifeng turned his head and asked Zheng Jiqing.
Zheng Jiqing glanced around and said, "I'll go to the General Political Department. A secretary will come to pick me up later."
Others might already be on their way, so it’s a good idea to let them miss the opportunity.
Xiang Lifeng and Fu Jingchen understood it themselves.
After a brief farewell, the two of them returned to the West District compound, while Zheng Jiqing waited for Xi Jinping from the General Political Department at the agreed location.
Although the West District compound is also located in the capital, the people living there do not have military ranks high enough to reach the headquarters, but their registered residence is in Beijing.
Take the Xiang and Fu families as an example. Their fathers both served in military areas outside the capital, and the family could only reunite during holidays.
"I haven't been back since the incident at your house."
As he walked along the outermost edge of the compound, Xiang Lifeng looked around and said, "Looking at this place now, it seems that nothing has changed."
They grew up in the same compound and used to be friends. After the accident of the Fu family, he didn't want to come back at all, so he saved up so many vacations.
Fu Jingchen said lightly: "this is not the reason why you want to come back to visit your relatives."
Xiang Lifeng choked, and the emotion that had just arisen in his mind disappeared in an instant.
Turning around, there was a hint of something in Fu Jingchen's eyes. He must have seen something.
After knowing each other for so many years, Xiang Lifeng had never felt that his gaze was so oppressive.
But he did not intend to back down, but said seriously: "I will not cause trouble to Fu Haitang's character."
This is no different from confessing one's true feelings.
"At least it's like this," Fu Jingchen said seriously, "she has her own dreams, and she always regards you as my comrade-in-arms. We all fully respect her decision."
After seeing the military ruffian Chuzhou, Fu Jingchen was afraid that Xiang Lifeng would become like this.
"What is her dream?" Xiang Lifeng couldn't help but ask.
Fu Jingchen paused and said, "Enter the female soldiers' company." This is not a big deal, and he doesn't intend to hide it.
Xiang Lifeng seemed to be thinking about something.
As they were talking, several people arrived at the gate of the West District compound.
Compared to two years ago, the guards had been replaced by a new batch, but the two men were released quickly because they were wearing military uniforms and had letters of introduction.
When Fu Jingchen knocked on the door, Fu's mother was playing with Xiaoyi in the yard.
When I heard a knock on the door, I thought it was my neighbor and got up quickly.
When he opened the door, he widened his eyes in disbelief, "Jingchen, why are you back?" His tone was both surprised and happy.
"I'm on vacation." As he spoke, Fu Jingchen looked around the yard.
The yard was swept clean, and even the steps leading into the house were spotless.
Seeing his confusion, Fu's mother smiled and made way for him, "Everyone is here to help clean up."
The Fu family was promoted, and everyone with a discerning eye was willing to do some favors. They would bring servants to help, or look after the children. One person would have to clean the house for two or three days, but in fact it only took one day.
"Come on, you must be exhausted after the long journey back. Come in and take a rest."
Mother Fu urged him to rest. Xiao Yi also raised his eyes curiously and looked at the tall man in front of him. When he saw his face clearly, he opened his arms and said, "Daddy, hug me."
His memory seems to be pretty good. Even after being separated for a few days, he still remembers his father.
Fu Jingchen picked him up and followed Mother Fu into the house.
The duplex villa is exactly the same as I remembered, even the picture frame hanging at the corner of the stairs is still shiny.
Noticing his gaze, Fu's mother smiled and said, "Although no one has lived here for two years, it's still in good condition. I've cleaned up your rooms, but I don't know when Manman and Haitang will be able to come back."
“That’s right!”
At this point, Mother Fu asked again, "Did you tell Manman about your return to the capital?"
