Chapter 549 The Hero's Way Home

Knowing that Su Xiangnan and his men had won the battle and would be back in the afternoon, today happened to be Sunday. After lunch, Luo Ya told Xia Qingxi that she had not lived in the house for almost a month, and there must be a lot of dust in the house, so she had to go back and clean it up first.

Xia Qingxi knew that she had been looking forward to Su Xiangnan's return and couldn't wait to tell him the good news of her pregnancy. Looking at her, she reminded him half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Luo Ya, I know you and the third brother are very affectionate, but... hehe, you have to restrain yourself in the future."

"What do you mean by restraint?" Luo Ya thought Xia Qingxi wanted her not to go back yet, and asked in confusion with her puzzled eyes.

Xia Qingxi knew that Luoya didn't understand what she meant. With a meaningful smile on her face, she leaned close to Luoya's ear and whispered:

"If you can't restrain yourself... it won't be good for the baby in your belly."

Luoya realized what Xia Qingxi asked her and Su Xiangnan to restrain themselves from. Her face turned red and she said in a low voice embarrassedly:

"Qingxi, why do you talk... the same way as Su Xiangnan..."

"The same as what?" Xia Qingxi asked deliberately, pretending not to understand.

Knowing that Xia Qingxiang was still joking with her, Luo Ya became a little anxious and blurted out:

"You're so unruly."

"Hahaha..." Xia Qingxiang laughed so hard that her eyes curved up. Then she tilted her head and deliberately leaned her face towards Luo Ya and asked:

"Do you like it?"

The two have lived together for almost a month, and the way they get along is more and more like "college roommates", so now when Xia Qingxiang talks to her, he is a little more playful.

Luo Ya thought she was just asking whether she liked her or not, and answered without thinking:

"Yes, of course I do."

"Hahaha... I knew you like the third brother and can't wait to meet him."

Xia Qingxing laughed even more happily, then put her hands on Luo Ya's shoulders from behind and gently pushed her out, saying:

"I won't keep you here, you go back first, I will come over with mom and brother to help you clean up the house."

"No, no, there's only a little dust in the house, and it's not dirty. I'll clean it up in a while." Luo Ya quickly rejected Xia Qingxing's kindness.

"You are a pregnant woman now! You are a key protected person. Don't think about doing everything by yourself like before." Xia Qingling reminded her seriously, and then said as if imparting experience to her:

"When the third brother comes back, you just cross your feet and give instructions from the side. Let him do everything, understand?"

After that, as if thinking of something, he said to Luo Ya:

"Don't worry, I will let Lu Jingzhen teach the third brother step by step, and guarantee that you will live comfortably and happily throughout your pregnancy."

Thinking of Lu Jingzhen's concern and meticulous care for Xia Qingling when she was pregnant, Luo Ya couldn't help but smile. With such a good master, there is no need to worry that the apprentice will not learn.

Besides, Su Xiangnan has a good personality and is very caring. I believe that I will live a comfortable life every day in the future.

After seeing Luoya off, Xia Qingxi also prepared to pack up and wait for Lu Jingxi to come back. In fact, she cared about Lu Jingxi just as much as Luoya cared about Su Xiangnan. It was just that

Luoya and Su Xiangnan had just been married for a short time, and this was their first time apart, so it was inevitable that they missed each other more.

Luoya returned home and had just packed up for a while when Xia Qingxi and her brother came over, bringing meat and vegetables. They helped her clean up the house before going back.

The sky outside was a little gloomy, but Luoya was in a very good mood. Thinking that she would see Su Xiangnan soon, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

The pot was already filled with his favorite braised pork. He had been out on duty for so many days, and must have been very tired. He had to be well fed.

Su Xiangnan loved braised pork the most.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a jeep drove slowly into the troops in the drizzling rain, and stopped at the main gate of the military region after a while.

Lu got out of the car in a panic, holding a black box in his hand. Su Xiangnan's guard Qu Xiaoman stood beside him, holding the same box in his hand.

Many soldiers stood side by side on both sides of the military district road. At the main gate, Su Yunlong, Su Yunfei and Commander Liu stood in the front, and Su Xiangdong, Su Xiangbei and several brothers of the Liu family stood behind them.

Everyone's expression was very solemn. No one held an umbrella, letting the drizzling rain fall on the military caps and uniforms.

After getting off the car, Qu Xiaoman hurried a few steps and handed the black box to Commander Su. Another soldier held the military uniform worn by Liu Xiaofeng, with a military cap on it.

General Liu took the box with trembling hands, looked at the military uniform next to him, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Boy, you did a good job this time! You deserve this uniform."

Liu Xiaofeng's brothers behind him instantly had tears in their eyes, walked forward, and took the military uniform and cap from the soldiers.

Lu Jingchen walked towards Su Yunlong with extremely heavy steps. When he approached, he saluted Su Yunlong with a proper military salute, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"Lu Jingchen of the Vanguard Regiment, Su Xiangnan of the Garrison Regiment, you have completed your mission and report to the division commander."

Su Yunlong raised his old right hand with a serious expression and saluted in return:

"The army is proud of you!"

Before handing the black box to Su Yunlong, Lu Jingchen stood up straight, calmly, and shouted loudly:

"Su Xiangnan, we are home!"

He had promised Su Xiangnan that when he got home, he would call him so that he would not lose his way home.

"Captain Su is home!"

"Captain Su is home!"

"Captain Su is home!"

...........

Led by Qu Xiaoman, the soldiers on both sides also shouted. The loud and powerful shouts echoed in the heavy rain, as if guiding the heroic souls wandering outside to go home. In

the middle of the high wall, the five-pointed star became more bright and eye-catching under the baptism of rain.

It seemed that Su Yunlong had grown a lot of white hair overnight. He first raised his hand and patted Lu Jingchen's shoulder, comforting him not to blame himself.

Then he took the box from his hand. The box was so light, not even as heavy as when he held Su Xiangnan when he was born.

Su Yunlong looked at the box, slowed down his voice, and said softly:

"Xiangnan, your father is here to take you home!"

In the past, he was always a stern teacher, but now he is just a father who takes his child home!

Tears kept falling from Su Xiangdong's eyes, and the younger Su Xiangbei had already cried loudly.

Su Xiangnan, who was so lively and optimistic and always had many ways to make them happy, can only stay quietly in this small box now.

In the rain, Su Yunlong walked slowly in front holding his "son", Su Xiangdong held the military uniform that Su Xiangnan had worn, and Lu Jingchen and Su Xiangbei followed him silently.

Soldiers walked on both sides, leaving the middle space, which was the way for the heroes to return home...
