Chapter 568 Lu went home in shock
The wedding banquet was coming to an end. A woman in her twenties, holding a little girl of three or four years old, took the initiative to walk to Xia Qingxi and patted her shoulder gently:
"Hello, Teacher Xia."
Xia Qingxi turned her head and looked at the woman. After a moment of surprise, she called out:
"Yunxiang."
Yunxiang smiled tenderly, then greeted Luo Ya next to her. The little girl she was holding also called people one by one.
"How old is your daughter?" Luo Ya asked.
"Almost five years old." Yunxiang replied.
Here, Lu En and Su Luo and several other children had finished their meal, and Xia Qingxi asked him to take the little sister to play aside.
After the children left, Yunxiang sat down and continued chatting with Xia Qingxi and the others.
Xia Qingxi told her that she was no longer her teacher and that they were all of similar age, so she could just call her by her name.
Yunxiang shook her head and said that calling her "Teacher Xia" was more intimate, as if she had returned to the days in the art troupe.
Speaking of the art troupe, Luo Ya couldn't help but sigh:
"If the troupe hadn't disbanded, we could still be together and perform for everyone."
"Yes, we all don't want the troupe to disband." Yun Xiang smiled softly, with a kind of calmness from the years:
"But the times are moving forward, change is inevitable, and what we learned in the art troupe and the basic skills we practiced have all come in handy." After saying that, she looked at Luo Ya:
"I often see your posters posted in those high-end clothing stores."
Luo Ya also smiled and sighed:
"Well, if it weren't for the daily exercise and habits I developed in the art troupe, I wouldn't be able to maintain my figure and be a model for Qingling Company."
"Teacher Xia, the clothes designed by your company are very popular. The students I teach like your company's clothes very much. They think they are fashionable and trendy." Yunxiang looked at Xia Qingxing and couldn't help but sighed:
"I thought you would always be a teacher. After all, you play the piano so well. I didn't expect that you have become a great female entrepreneur now."
Xia Qingxing smiled and replied:
"It's not that I'm great, I just caught up with the good policies."
The few of them chatted for a while. At this time, Liu Yuanzheng, who was wearing a military uniform, came over with the little girl who had just followed Yunxiang. When he saw Xia Qingxing and Luo Ya, he greeted them enthusiastically and said:
"I just saw the two little boys playing with my Xiaoyue, and I recognized them as the sons of Captain Lu and Captain Su. They look so much alike."
"Your Xiaoyue looks a lot like you, too." Xia Qingling replied.
"Really?" Liu Yuanzheng chuckled twice:
"Why do I think she looks more like Yunxiang?" His tone and eyes were full of love.
A few years ago, because of He Shanshan's coming to the army, Yunxiang and Liu Yuanzheng had obtained a marriage certificate, but they did not live together.
Later, after being separated for about a year and a half, under Liu Yuanzheng's confession and efforts, Yunxiang accepted him again and never mentioned the name He Shanshan again.
She has always been a person who lives very transparently. Since she has chosen to forgive, she will never pursue the past.
Liu Yuanzheng treated her better because he felt guilty.
They chatted for a while, then Liu Yuanzheng and Yunxiang stood up and said goodbye to Xia Qingxi and the others, then went to greet the groom (who was now Liu Yuanzheng's subordinate), and then walked forward with their daughter in their arms.
Liu Yuanzheng held the child, Yunxiang snuggled beside him, and walked forward together. Looking at the happy backs of the family of three, Xia Qingling's lips unconsciously lifted up, and silently said in her heart:
"Little family, everyone is happy and safe, maybe this is the meaning of Su Xiangnan and Lu Jingchen's dedication to the country."
After spending the New Year in the army, Xia Qingling and Luo Ya were going back to Beicheng. Two days before leaving, they took their three children to the martyrs' cemetery in the back mountain.
On the way back, they brought the children here once. The children had a good memory, so this time they walked in front to lead the way.
Luo Ya cooked the red braised pork that Su Xiangnan liked to eat, carried it in a basket, and followed the children.
When they arrived at Su Xiangnan's grave, they found that his tombstone had been wiped clean. It seemed that people often came to see him and had not forgotten him.
After everyone paid their respects, Xia Qingxiang left with the children, wanting to leave time for Luoya and Su Xiangnan to be alone for a while. Xia Qingxiang
stood at the intersection with her three children. Su Luo suddenly tilted his head, looked at Xia Qingxiang and asked in confusion:
"Fourth aunt, why don't you like braised pork?"
Luoya made braised pork last night, and it tasted so good. Su Luo ate a lot. He never understood why anyone didn't like braised pork, so he couldn't help asking now.
"My mother thinks it's too oily, and she doesn't like fatty meat." Lu En answered for Xia Qingxiang.
"It's not greasy, it smells so good." Su Luo didn't agree at all. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Xia Qingli and said:
"Fourth aunt, if my mother asks you if you want to eat braised pork in brown sauce in the future, just say you want to eat it."
"Why? But I don't like it." Xia Qingli looked at Su Luo, wanting to know what he was thinking.
Su Luo seemed to be waiting for her words. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly volunteered:
"It's okay, I can eat it for you secretly, I'm not afraid of oil."
Xia Qingli smiled unconsciously. Luo Ya was afraid that he would eat too much and his stomach couldn't bear it, so she usually didn't let him eat too much. This clever little ghost wanted to eat it himself, so he set his sights on her.
"I don't think your method will work." Lu En on the side suddenly spoke up.
"Why?" Su Luo asked doubtfully:
"As long as Fourth Aunt doesn't say anything and you don't say anything, my mother won't know."
"Third Aunt knows that my mother has never eaten fatty meat, but suddenly she wants to eat it. Don't you think it's strange?" Lu En continued to explain:
"If you think it's strange, won't Third Aunt think so too?"
Su Luo thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to make sense. He sighed unconsciously. At this time, Luo Ya came over and heard her son sighing, so she asked him what was wrong.
"The braised pork flew away."
Before Su Luo could speak, his sister Luo Su answered for her brother.
Luo Ya wanted to ask more, but Su Luo took her hand guiltily and told her to walk faster.
The five of them walked down the mountain together. Xia Qingxi deliberately observed Luo Ya and was relieved to see that her mood was not affected at all.

After returning to Beicheng from the army, Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya started another year of work.
In a blink of an eye, several years passed. This was the tenth year since Lu Xun went to the border to fight. In this year, China won the war with an overwhelming advantage, and Country X also completely withdrew from Chinese territory.
In March, Lu Jingchen finally returned to the North City. Xia Qingxi brought the eleven-year-old Tuan Tuan to the train station to pick him up.
The train arrived on time. The two stood on the platform, waiting anxiously and patiently, but until the soldiers got off the train, there was still no sign of Lu Jingchen.
Xia Qingxi had been notified early in the morning that he was in this carriage. Just as she was about to walk into the carriage, she saw a soldier come out and put a wooden board at the door.
A moment later, another soldier came out pushing a wheelchair.
The person sitting in the wheelchair was Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingxie also saw Xia Qingxi, and like many years ago, he called her name affectionately:
"Ah Xi........"
