Chapter 216 Epilogue



The day Lu Xiao came back was a sunny and bright day.

He went straight to Kyoto University, wanting to see the person he had been thinking about day and night as soon as possible.

He has missed her all the time in the past two years. The nature of his mission is special, and he cut off all contact with his previous family after joining the army. This is also what he feels most guilty about.

He knew that his wife would miss him, but he couldn't tell her where he was going, and he couldn't even contact her until the mission was over.

In order to reduce this guilt, he could only work hard and finish the task as soon as possible.

Of course, he didn't dare to put himself in any danger. Even if danger was imminent, he would fight to survive because he knew that she was still waiting for him.

When he finished his mission and returned to the army, he heard that Wanwan was pregnant and even that he might already have a son or daughter. His endless guilt reached its peak.

He worked day and night to organize the task materials, and after handing over the work, he rushed back directly.

Jiang Wanwan came to the school today to handle graduation procedures. She had learning experience in her previous life, so she was a fast learner. In addition, with the little one at home, she didn't want to waste too much time in school, so she applied for early graduation half a year ago. After passing layers of assessments, she finally got her diploma.

As soon as she walked out of the office building, she saw a man in military uniform in the distance. Compared with two years ago, the man was more mature, and his calm and steady temperament attracted the female classmates on campus to glance at him from time to time, but his eyes were firmly fixed in her direction.

Jiang Wanwan stopped where she was, their eyes met in silence for a long time, and finally, her lips slowly curled up.

Lu Xiao's dark eyes were filled with tenderness as he strode towards his woman. In the last few steps, he actually ran up to her and took her into his arms.

"Wanwan, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Jiang Wanwan's eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on his waist. "You know I'll be worried, Lu Xiao, let me tell you, if there's a next time, I will disappear without a sound and you will never be able to find me again."

Although I know that he has no choice and it is his duty for the country, as a wife who has gone through the long pregnancy and childbirth alone, it is impossible for me to say that I have no resentment in my heart.

Lu Xiao hugged her tightly and said in a low voice, "No, never again."

Lu Xiao returned to the army only to carry out this special mission. Because the enemy spies already had a certain understanding of our personnel, the army had to hand over this special mission to Lu Xiao.

Now that the mission has been completed, the army wants to keep him, but Lu Xiao has no intention of staying.

He is already past his prime, and even if the army gives him a good placement because of his military capabilities, he doesn't want to force himself and should give more opportunities to young people.

The most important thing is his future life plan, he doesn’t want to miss his Wanwan again.

"Classmate Jiang, classmate Jiang..."

The voice behind them interrupted the brief sweetness of the two people. A young man wearing thick glasses caught up with them breathlessly. When he saw Lu Xiao, he nodded politely to him, and then said to Jiang Wanwan, "Classmate Jiang, if you don't plan to stay in school after graduation, do you have any other plans? To be honest, I have a friend who is very short of teachers. I know you don't even want to be a university teacher, and maybe a middle school teacher... But I still want to ask you, their middle school is in Kyoto, so you can stay in Kyoto and live there."

Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, there is a shortage of teachers in middle schools and universities in various regions. Jiang Wanwan has excellent academic performance, and it would be a pity if she did not work in this field.

Jiang Wanwan glanced at Lu Xiao and declined with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Bai. I plan to return to my husband's hometown."

Jiang Wanwan had already made up her mind that even after going to college, she did not plan to do a conventional job.

Now that the situation of reform and opening up is very good, she also wants to carve out a place for herself in the tide of this era.

Originally, she planned to return to the Red Star Brigade, recruit the previous members, and work while waiting for Lu Xiao to return home. Now that Lu Xiao is back, it gives her more confidence.

In the past two years, she and Wang Sanni have been in contact. The two piglets left by Lu Xiao have grown into more than a dozen pigs, but this is far from enough.

After applying for early graduation, she mailed some money to Wang Sanni so that they could build a larger and more standardized pig house.

She also got news from Wang Sanni that the Red Star Brigade also wanted to respond to the national call to contract production to households, and that they needed to find contractors for those hilltops.

The villagers' minds are still trapped in the past thirty years. They are already content with one or two acres of land and dare not contract the entire mountain, not to mention that some people have the desire but not the money.

After declining Teacher Bai's kindness, Jiang Wanwan and Lu Xiao expressed their thoughts on the way home. Lu Xiao also expressed his thoughts, and the two of them surprisingly had the same idea.

At this moment, the two held hands, smiled at each other, and were full of confidence in the future.
