Chapter 428 Thank you!



Jiang Si didn't say anything at the time, she just nodded.

But she knew in her heart that this was definitely not as simple as just having a blackout.

But even after the train traveled south to Guangzhou, she still couldn't recall any useful clues.

Because Huo Tingzhou had a meeting in Guangzhou, the group stayed here for two days.

During this time, Jiang Si took an opportunity to go out alone.

She buried the things she had stored in her space at the dock ten years ago on a small hillside a few kilometers from the port.

These things don't belong to the Jiang family, so there's no point in her keeping them.

The main reason is that she doesn't lack these things at all right now.

After handling everything, she wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to the relevant authorities.

As for how the matter was handled afterward, she didn't care anymore.

Two days later, the ship arrived at Xiuying Port on Qiongzhou Island more than an hour ahead of schedule.

He Ping was the one who came to pick them up this time.

After not seeing him for several years, He Ping has become noticeably more mature and composed.

But upon seeing Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou, his excitement remained unchanged.

"Commander... Sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey!" He Ping's eyes were already red as soon as he finished speaking.

Huo Tingzhou is not usually a talkative person.

But He Ping had been with him for several years, a bond that few could match.

"If you're not used to calling me that, just call me Commander."

"That won't do!" This is the commander of the General Military Region! Thinking of the years he had worked alongside him, He Ping straightened his chest instantly.

Don't ask, the answer is pride!

It was windy at the dock, so He Ping quickly called out, "Sister-in-law, Grandpa, get in the car quickly."

After saying that, he looked at Jingxing and Jingyan.

When the two siblings were born, He Ping had already gone to military school for further studies.

This is the first time I've ever seen this.

He Ping smiled, his eyes full of affection, "These must be Jingxing and Jingyan, right? They're really good-looking."

One is like their own commander, and the other is like their sister-in-law. No wonder the sisters-in-law all praise them.

"Hello, Uncle He." Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao often heard their parents mention Uncle He. Although they had never met him, they still respected him very much.

"Okay, okay! Get in the car."

While helping with the luggage, He Ping introduced Qiongzhou Island to the children, instantly livening up the atmosphere.

That evening, the group stayed at the provincial military district guesthouse again.

When checking in, the two staff members at the front desk stared at Jiang Si for a long time.

I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before.

But I can't remember it right now.

The next day, when Jiang Si came downstairs, she was wearing the same white shirt and dark green long skirt as she had ten years ago, and her hair was still in a fluffy single ponytail with a dark green ribbon tied on it.

Then they remembered that the two of them had lived here ten years ago!

They said at the time that the two of them were a perfect match, and their baby would definitely be incredibly good-looking!

As it turns out, their guess was absolutely right!

Unlike last time when the two whispered among themselves, this time their conversation was clearly heard by Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou, who were walking behind.

Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou turned his head and glanced at Jiang Si beside him.

Jiang Si happened to be looking at him as well.

Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but smile.

The road leading to the Fourth Division was renovated two years ago, and the journey has now been shortened to two hours.

The newly built highways are mostly coastal roads, with coconut palms, blue sea and sky all along the way, the scenery is simply breathtaking.

This was an irresistible attraction for the brother and sister who were born on Qiongzhou Island but had never been to the beach.

More than two hours later, the car came to a smooth stop at the back gate of the Fourth Division's family compound.

The reason for not entering through the main gate was based on He Ping's experience.

The visit of Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Xu to the family compound a few days ago already caused quite a stir. If they knew that their own sister-in-law was also coming, what would they do?

But what He Ping didn't know was that his sisters-in-law had already anticipated his prediction.

The moment the group got off the bus and hadn't even finished collecting their luggage, the women who had been waiting for them suddenly surrounded them from all directions.

This day was spent amidst flowers and various greetings.

As a result, Jiang Si's wish to take a nice stroll around the family compound had to be abandoned.

“We can go now.” Huo Tingzhou suddenly turned over and glanced at the moonlight outside the window. “The moonlight is beautiful tonight.”

"Now?" Jiang Si looked at her with a "Are you kidding me?" expression. It was already almost nine o'clock at night.

But looking into Huo Tingzhou's eyes, she knew he wasn't joking.

For some inexplicable reason, Jiang Si actually agreed.

That evening, the two of them, as always, strolled hand in hand through the family compound for more than an hour by the moonlight.

In recent years, the residential compound has been expanded considerably.

The earliest batch of low-rise courtyards has now been demolished, and many coconut trees have been planted along the roadside.

Unbeknownst to them, the two found themselves near the old house they used to live in.

This house holds so many memories of the two of them, from their first meeting to their growing relationship and companionship. Just standing here for a short while brought back so many images to Jiang Si's mind.

Good, bad, sour, sweet... these things no longer matter.

The important thing is that these beautiful memories shared together have become part of each other's lives and will accompany them throughout their lives.

Knowing that the two children were eager to go beachcombing, after visiting Commander Yao and Political Commissar Li and other senior leaders, the families chose a sunny day to go to the beach.

Blue sky, white clouds, and sandy beach.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle.

The child was making a fuss, and she was laughing.

Time seemed to have been completely paused at that moment.

Even if they do nothing, just sitting here quietly, listening to the endless sound of the waves and feeling the salty sea breeze on their faces, is a unique experience.

Before we knew it, it was already sunset.

Watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, Huo Tingzhou suddenly turned to look at Jiang Si, who was leaning on his shoulder.

"Wife, thank you for coming to me, thank you for giving me a home."

He paused, then looked into the distance again. "Thank you for making me look forward to every day from now on."

Jiang Si looked up at him.

It's hard to imagine that someone so restrained and reserved could say such things to her face.

In fact, she should be the one saying thank you.

She hooked her finger around his, just like when they took their wedding photos ten years ago.

"Thank you, Huo Tingzhou."

Thank you for choosing her, believing in her, and loving her unconditionally from beginning to end.

It is precisely because of his unwavering choice that Jiang Si lives such a vibrant, carefree, and happy life.
