Chapter 222 Not as important as you
"Don't talk nonsense, I heard her. She told you her name right away. You call her the country wife all day long and don't even know her real name." Su Xiangnan looked at his sister and warned her,
"And you've seen it too. She is not like the rumors say. So don't believe the rumors. Be polite to her in the future and don't make your fourth brother unhappy."
Su Man also reacted at this time. Everyone used to say that she was from the country, ugly and rustic, and that she had climbed into the fourth brother's bed and that the fourth brother was forced to marry her. But when he saw her today, he felt that she was not exactly the same as the person in the rumors, but at least they had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, the way the fourth brother looked at her, there was no sign of resentment or dissatisfaction, he was clearly clinging to her. If he and the third brother were not around, they would probably hug each other and chew on each other.
"I have to go back to the army to ask Liu Xiaofeng." Su Xiangnan told his sister: "You go home first and tell mom about the situation here, so that they won't be waiting at home."
"Oh." Su Man replied, and then said: "Don't punish him too hard, he didn't mean it." Su
Xiangnan turned around without saying a word and walked forward, only thinking in his heart: It's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up!
At the same time, there was still a little pity in his heart. He was very satisfied with Comrade Xiao Xia, but now she has suddenly become his fourth brother's wife, so it is naturally impossible anymore.

Xia Qinggui was led home by Lu Jingzhen. Lu Jingzhen's hand was big and warm, wrapping her small hand. It
's not like she hasn't been led by him before, but for some reason, this time she actually felt her heartbeat speed up. Could it be that this is what people say: "A short separation is better than a new marriage".
Thinking about it, this description is not right. They are not real husband and wife, and they have never been "newly married".
But it's not strange to have this feeling. Friends will miss each other when they are separated, not to mention that they have slept in the same bed for so many days. Although they are not real husband and wife, they are also half husband and wife.
Just look at the tall man in camouflage uniform on the road, with colorful camouflage paint on his face, holding a fair-skinned and beautiful girl by the hand. At first glance, it feels like a beauty and the beast.
Such a combination, as expected, attracted frequent glances from passers-by. Xia Qingying knew that everyone was looking at them with surprise and curiosity, but she did not pull her hand away.
Because she didn't want Lu Jingqi to misunderstand that she disliked him and didn't want to hold his hand.
She had roughly guessed some of the reasons for what had just happened, especially what Su Man had just said. She was not stupid, so she didn't understand it.
"Did they mistake my identity with that of another person?" Xia Qingxi asked.
"Yes." Lu Jingxue replied in a deep voice in front of him.
Xia Qingxi suddenly realized what his reputation was in the army. He had already learned something from his former sister-in-law Ah Zhen and that doctor Pu. He was wondering these two days why everyone was so warm and friendly to him. It turned out that they had mistaken the wrong person.
It turned out that the good treatment she received was because of the help of another person.
She was feeling lost when she suddenly heard the person holding her in front of her say in a firm and affectionate tone:
"But you are my daughter-in-law, that's right!"
Hearing him emphasize so solemnly that she was his daughter-in-law, Xia Qingxi's mouth corners unconsciously lifted slightly.
What was he hinting at?
In fact, Xia Qingying really wanted to ask him, "Is it in name only, or do you think so in your heart?" But she felt it was too abrupt, so she finally suppressed it and said,
"I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lu Jingchen responded in a deep voice, and then said, "You were supposed to be back tomorrow, but the troops there have arranged a celebration banquet tonight."
"Is it because of me that you came back early?" Xia Qingying blurted out and asked.
After asking, she realized belatedly how straightforward the question was. If the other person said no, she would be so embarrassed. Just as she was secretly blaming herself for speaking too quickly, she heard the man next to her answer very affirmatively:
"Yes." Then he said without disguising: "My security guard said that he didn't pick you up. I was very worried."
In an instant, Xia Qingli's heart was filled with joy and sweetness. The feeling of being cared for and cared about was like the breeze in summer and the warm sun in winter, which made people infinitely happy. But after a moment, she suddenly realized something and asked:
"Then if you leave and don't attend the celebration party, will it have any bad effects?"
"No." Lu Chen saw her worry and explained to her:
"The celebration banquet is for the selected elite personnel. The commander will only receive awards if he goes there, so it's okay to leave early."
"Then it's a pity that you didn't receive any awards." Xia Qingying said with some regret.
Looking at the traces of battles left on his body, you can see how bad the training environment is and how hard it is to command and fight.
In order to come back to see me, he didn't attend the celebration banquet, didn't receive awards from his superiors, and didn't receive the admiration of the soldiers. He rushed back day and night. It was really a bit unfair to him.
"It's not a pity, it's just an empty name." Lu Jingchen didn't seem to care, and then he said:
"Not as important as you."
The words "Not as important as you" instantly moved Xia Qingying to the point of being incomparable.
In this man's heart, how important the country and the army are, she knows better than anyone else. If he has to choose between national justice and his own personal safety, he will choose the country without hesitation. The people and the country are the spiritual pillars and lifelong beliefs of their soldiers.
However, after completing the mission brilliantly, he does not care about personal honor, but rushes to himself. How can this preference for himself not move Xia Qingqing? !
Finally, Xia Qingqing asked what she had not asked just now:
"Just now you said I was your wife, was it out of responsibility to me, or... did you really think so in your heart?"
