As the two fathers who loved their grandson, Jiang Yuman did not agree to let his son pick him up every day, but he paid attention to Fu Jingchen.
People who used to leave the army at five o'clock and be home before five-thirty were already seven o'clock and still not back.
Jiang Yuman was puzzled. "Has the military training schedule been changed recently?"
"That should be the case," said Fu's mother, "I think I heard your father say that."
Jiang Yuman felt a little relieved. Since her father-in-law said so, there must be no problem.
"By the way, Manman." Mother Fu said, "Your birthday is coming soon. Is there any gift you want?"
After she reminded her, Jiang Yuman thought about her birthday and realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was indeed approaching.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she shook her head and said, "As long as our family is safe, we don't need any gifts."
She really doesn't lack anything now.
Mother Fu smiled and said, "Then I'll make more dishes and we'll have a good meal."
"It would be great if Haitang came back." Jiang Yuman sighed sincerely, that was a real family.
Thinking of her daughter, Mother Fu felt a little uncomfortable. On a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival when the whole family was reunited, she also hoped that her father would come back.
However, thanks to Fu Wangshan's vaccination, she had also made some mental preparations and did not hold out too much hope.
"Time is too tight. She may not be able to come back. Let's call her after we're done."
Having said that, on the actual Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu's mother seemed a little absent-minded. Whenever there was any movement outside, she would be the first to rush to open the door.
He waited for President Gao and his companions, Political Commissar Zhuo and his companions, and Captain Fan, but the only person he wanted to see did not show up.
In the end, I just focused on working in the kitchen. After I got busy, the house didn't seem so empty anymore.
It was time for dinner, and the food was served on the table, filling up a large table.
Even Xiaoyi knew that today was his mother's birthday. As soon as he woke up and saw his mother, he wished her a happy birthday.
A group of people gathered together, chatting and laughing. After dinner, they left one after another.
Jiang Yuman personally saw President Gao and his wife out and asked Gao Fei if she had sent any letters. Gao's mother couldn't hide her smile.
"She sent it. She said she would be back after the Chinese New Year."
The two elders were urging the couple to get married so hard, and they were so cheerful when they were introducing Gao Fei. It must be that Gao Fei and Chu Su's relationship was going smoothly.
"Then let's come and pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year."
Dean Gao smiled and said, "You're welcome anytime."
After seeing off the guests, the evening became a family dinner. Fu's mother specially made a bowl of longevity noodles for Jiang Yuman. Looking at the lights and the caring eyes of her family, Jiang Yuman felt warm in her heart.
"Mom, please make a wish." Xiaoyi said.
Jiang Yuman closed her eyes and made a sincere wish, hoping that her family would be safe and healthy and that she would have a daughter.
After making a wish, she ate longevity noodles, and the family had a meal and ate mooncakes.
When it was time to clean up the dishes, Jiang Yuman wanted to help, but Fu's mother said, "You are the birthday girl today, you can't do these things."
Jiang Yuman had no choice but to come out.
In the living room, except Fu Jingchen, the two fathers and Xiaoyi were gone.
"Where are Dad and the others?" Jiang Yuman asked Fu Jingchen.
"They went upstairs," Fu Jingchen paused and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
He rarely takes the initiative to invite people like this.
Jiang Yuman glanced at Fu Jingchen, and the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably. "Let's go. Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to appreciate the moon."
The woman's first impression was quite accurate. She had a hunch that Fu Jingchen wanted to give her a birthday present.
The couple came out of the yard and walked around the compound of the General Military Region. The moonlight swayed with the shadows of the trees. Walking on the wide road, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was in the 22nd Division.
Fu Jingchen would always pick her up when she was off duty. He would put Xiaoyi on his shoulders and then go home in the moonlight.
Recalling the past, Jiang Yuman rarely felt a little childish, like she did in the 22nd Division, to step on Fu Jingchen's shadow.
Fu Jingchen let her step on him and cooperated quite well.
It must be said that teaching by example is very important. Because of this, the little Yi he raised always follows his mother's whims.
After walking around, Fu Jingchen still didn't make any move. Jiang Yuman couldn't help but look at his other hand.
She noticed just now that there seemed to be a ring on the ring finger of that hand. She wanted to see how long Fu Jingchen would drag it out!
Jiang Yuman was very patient after making up her mind. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone was at home with their families, and the streets were very quiet.
After walking for a while, Fu Jingchen finally stopped.
The crisp military uniform, covering the broad shoulders and narrow waist, the moonlight, the clear outline of the stern face, stained with an indescribable tenderness.
Jiang Yuman was almost lost in his eyes.
"Manman, today is your birthday, I prepared a gift for you."
Finally speaking... Jiang Yuman suppressed the corner of her mouth, "What gift? Take it out and let me see it."
She felt that she had guessed what it was and tried her best to appear calm, but the excitement in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was almost overflowing.
Fu Jingchen smiled and handed his hand to her, slowly opening it.
In his hands lay two large keys, obviously the keys to the courtyard door. The ring on his finger was originally a key ring.
“…What is this?” Jiang Yuman looked at his hand and stared at her blankly.
Fu Jingchen raised his mouth, "Our home."
Home?
Jiang Yuman didn't understand. Did the West District compound get a new key, or did her father get a new key... No, neither of them was right.
If the locks were really changed, why was it her birthday present?
In a flash, she raised her head and looked at Fu Jingchen for confirmation.
"I've saved up a lot of effort and have passed the military rank test. Here are the keys to our house in the headquarters compound."
Fu Jingchen took her hand and put the key in her hand. "The information is very troublesome. Fortunately, it was done before you were born."
Being held all the way, the key carried the warmth of Fu Jingchen's body temperature. This temperature seemed to flow straight through the clasped palms and reach Jiang Yuman's heart.
Jiang Yuman felt her nose was sore and her eyes were blurry. Any words seemed inadequate in the face of such emotions.
She could only hug Fu Jingchen tightly, "You did it on purpose, deliberately trying to move me so much."
"This is my promise," Fu Jingchen said, "Manman, I never want to break my promise to you."
"You have always had a full reputation with me." Jiang Yuman choked up a little.
Fu Jingchen didn't want her to be sad, so he asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"
Jiang Yuman withdrew from his embrace, her gaze fixed on the yard in front of her, "Is this the place?"
"right."
No wonder he took her for a stroll in the compound. It turned out that he had already decided to tell her at the door of their new home.
Jiang Yuman managed to hold back this time. She walked to the door and opened the courtyard gate with the key in her hand.
