Upon hearing Feng Zhiyi's words, Xiao Bin immediately agreed, "From now on, the four of us will stay with Ziheng and the others to ensure their safety, as well as the old lady; we will protect her as well."
"Thank you for your help!"
After Feng Zhiyi finished speaking, she said to Xiao Bin, "Go back and rest. You don't need to keep watch tonight."
Xiao Bin nodded and replied, "Okay." Then he went to the neighboring courtyard to rest with Xiao Jiao and the others.
Anyway, they live close by, separated only by a wall, so they can hear everything. Besides, this is a military family compound, and people who aren't from the military can't get in at all.
Feng Zhiyi glanced at Xiao Bin and the others, then stepped into the courtyard with Lu Lingxiao.
Grandma Feng was still awake. She sat in the living room watching TV to pass the time while waiting for Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao to return.
Hearing the noise, the old lady subconsciously looked towards the door and saw the young couple. She immediately smiled and said, "You're back? Have you had dinner? If not, there's some food warming up in the pot. Xiao Xiao got it from the army canteen."
As she spoke, she got up and quickly walked towards her granddaughter.
Feng Zhiyi quickly went over and took the old lady's arm, saying gently, "Grandma, you should go back to your room and rest. Don't worry about us, Ling Xiao and I can take care of it ourselves."
Grandma Feng looked at her with a smile, "I was worried something might have happened since you hadn't come back so late, so I waited until now. Well then, since you're back, I'll go back to my room to rest."
"The food is in the pot, go get it yourselves."
“Okay, Grandma, you should go and rest!” Lu Lingxiao replied.
Grandma Feng nodded with a smile.
Then he went back to his bedroom to rest, feeling relieved.
After the old lady returned to her bedroom, Lu Lingxiao pulled Feng Zhiyi towards the yard. "Wife, go wash your hands. I'll go to the kitchen to get some food. After we finish eating, let's go back to the house to rest early."
"The military is holding an awards ceremony tomorrow, starting at nine o'clock in the morning, so you and Grandma should remember to arrive ten minutes early."
"Will everyone go?" Feng Zhiyi asked curiously.
Lu Lingxiao nodded, "I should go. This commendation ceremony is quite large. Comrades who participated in the rescue mission in the first half of the year will attend, as will comrades who participated in the spy arrest mission. They will all be commended."
Feng Zhiyi understood.
In other words, this commendation ceremony was a combination of several events, so there were more participants than in previous years.
——
Feng Zhiyi originally planned to go into the space to rest tonight because she had important business to attend to tomorrow, since the space contained spiritual energy that could nourish her body and spirit.
Unexpectedly, after entering the space, Lu Lingxiao carried her directly to the hot spring pool and, without saying a word, stripped her naked.
Don't try to reason with a hungry wolf; it won't work. No amount of talking can shake a man's determination to eat meat.
However, Lu Lingxiao was quite gentle and considerate. He only messed around with her three times before carrying her to clean her up and then going back to the bedroom to sleep peacefully. Of course, it would have been even better if his brother had behaved himself.
It would occasionally lift its head, which was absolutely terrifying!
The next morning, Lu Lingxiao prepared breakfast, changed into his official military combat uniform, and went to the military base.
Feng Zhiyi slept in late, not getting up until 7:40 in the morning.
After washing up and getting ready, I went out for breakfast, and it was almost 8:20.
Feng Zhiyi took her grandmother, Ziheng, Zirui, and Ningning to the family compound first, then called Ma Hongying and Yang Xiulan, and then went to the military base.
There were many people on the road, including soldiers from the military region and family members from the residential compound.
The group arrived at exactly 8:50.
At first glance, it was a sea of people.
Feng Zhiyi was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected so many people, and that they had all arrived so early.
Feng Zhiyi and Grandma Feng stood on the side with their child. From there, they could see the podium. She saw several military wives around them watching the soldiers being commended on the podium, their lips curved into smiles, but their eyes were red.
On the stage, Commander Lin personally awarded medals and third-class merits to the seven men. The medals, hanging on their chests, shone brightly.
Looking at the energetic and spirited people on the stage, Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, but after the emotions subsided, she also felt a pang of sadness.
These medals were earned with the blood and sweat of soldiers, some of whom even gave their precious lives!
Don't be fooled by the admiration they receive on stage and the big red flower on their chests that represents their glory. How many people know the hardships behind it all?
"Commander Lu, where's your wife? Has she arrived yet? Hurry up and call her up. Next, we'll be awarding you both your medals." The First-Class Merit was awarded personally by Commander Jiang. Only Lu Lingxiao was on the platform, but Feng Zhiyi was nowhere to be seen. He quickly asked Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Lingxiao is looking for his wife right now.
He glanced at the audience, but there were too many people and he couldn't see anyone. When the leader asked him, he was still thinking about how to answer when he finally spotted Feng Zhiyi in the corner of his eye.
Feng Zhiyi happened to look up at him as well.
She lifted her foot to walk onto the stage, but just then she heard the man's loud voice say, "Wife, come up here quickly, the leader is waiting to award you a medal and certificate of honor!"
Feng Zhiyi, "......"
Suddenly, I stumbled and almost fell.
Is it really necessary to be so high-profile?
"You brat, stand still! Can't you keep your voice down when you're this close?"
Jiang Fengyi was also quite surprised. He immediately scolded Lu Lingxiao with a stern face. Before he got married, this kid was cold and aloof, like a block of ice. Now he's almost unrecognizable.
The audience burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Lu Lingxiao was frustrated, but he didn't show it on his face.
Especially when he saw his beloved Zhizhi walk onto the stage, a gentle smile instantly appeared on his perfect face. This was his wife, Lu Lingxiao's wife!
Feng Zhiyi glanced at Lu Lingxiao, walked to his side and stood next to him. As soon as they stood still, Chief Jiang picked up the medals and pinned them to their chests.
The First-Class Merit Award, the golden medal shines even brighter than the blazing sun today!
After Commander Jiang pinned the medals and red flowers on the two of them, he gave a few more brief remarks, and the commendation ceremony for the day came to an end.
As soon as the leaders walked away, the crowd below the stage erupted in chaos.
"My goodness! My sister-in-law actually received a first-class merit award!"
"My sister-in-law is amazing! She was awarded the First-Class Merit Citation by the army at the same time as Commander Lu—no, I should say Brigade Commander Lu."
"Yes, this is absolutely incredible!"
