"Xi'er, you've worked so hard. This past year has been very difficult for you," Mu Xinghe said.
“Pregnancy is inherently a life-consuming process, so I can better understand how difficult it was for my mother,” Qiao Lian’er said.
"Seeing the smile on Ranxi's face, and how quiet and well-behaved she was, I felt that everything was worth it."
Mu Xinghe felt even more heartbroken upon hearing this, but he couldn't share Qiao Xier's suffering. He could only hold her hand tightly and secretly resolve in his heart that he would never let her down in this lifetime.
The Crown Prince brought good news to Qiao Lian'er: the Ministry of War had issued a transfer order, and the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry garrison had received the news. As soon as the troops arrived at the border, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry garrison would set off in full force.
Qiao Lian'er asked, "It's just a matter of switching places. Are the troops in the capital willing to do that?"
She had been thinking about this for a long time. There were too many advantages to staying in the capital. Even if she could never get a promotion, the food, drink and entertainment in the capital were incomparable to any other place.
The Crown Prince said, "People who are used to staying in the capital are naturally unwilling to go to remote places. This troop transfer involved five locations, which is why it took more than a month."
"How so?"
"That is, troops from the capital are transferred to a large city 500 miles away, and then troops from the large city are transferred to another relatively distant city, and so on until the border."
Considering this, completing it in a little over a month is considered highly efficient.
It seems that the Crown Prince is also a very pragmatic person. He will do what he promises to do in a down-to-earth manner, and he is also very smart in his actions.
Qiao Lian'er felt that this was a trustworthy partner.
The border authorities have received the news, so she naturally has to go back.
The two elders of the Qiao family stayed in the capital for more than a month, and then went back with them.
Upon seeing her, Qiao Dayong said with great excitement, "Lian'er, you don't know yet, do you? We received a letter from the capital that we need to take over the troops in Lianzhou. The entire Guan Ning Iron Cavalry garrison, from top to bottom, is heading to the capital to station troops."
"The troops are all excited now. That's Beijing, a place that so many people dream of but can't go to. It doesn't matter how far away from home it is. On the contrary, it will become the pride of the family. My second uncle, Xiao Meng, and I can also go to Beijing to make our mark. The rest of the family will go to Beijing with us. Our whole family can reunite anytime."
Qiao Dayong's voice trembled with excitement. They had thought they would have to stay at the border post for the rest of their lives, but fortunately they had a sickle, which made it easy for their families to reunite, so they didn't have much regret.
But now that they know they can go to the capital, the family will never have to be separated again, and they might even have a better future.
Qiao Lian'er smiled, her meaning clear without a word.
Da Yong immediately realized that this must have been Lian'er's arrangement. Otherwise, they were far away on the border, in a remote and inaccessible area, with a very low profile. Why would the capital think of transferring them there?
Da Cheng and the others went to the capital first, but Lian'er did not forget her family left behind at the border. Instead, she took the opportunity to make arrangements for them.
Thinking of all this, Da Yong's eyes welled up with tears.
"Lian'er, I know, it's you. You're going to settle everyone in the capital so that our Qiao family can be together."
The two elders of the Qiao family only now understood what had happened.
"What? You can all go to the capital? Others can come along too." Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes lit up immediately.
Although the elderly may cherish their homeland, the capital is a wonderful place. There's so much to eat and drink, so many things to do, and it broadens one's horizons. Who wouldn't like that? The Qiao family is all there, and the future of the Qiao family is there too.
"Grandma, Grandpa, I'm afraid you might not want to go." Qiao Lian'er blinked.
"Nonsense! Only a fool wouldn't pick up a gold nugget. Old woman, let's hurry up and get ready." Old Qiao said as he strode off with light steps.
