Chapter 569 Whose father is more handsome

Hearing this strange yet familiar voice, Xia Qingying's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

She held back the tears that were about to fall, walked quickly to Lu Jingzhen's side, squatted down, and held his hand.

That hand was still as big and warm as she remembered. After holding it, she was reluctant to let it go.

"Sister-in-law, Commander Lu just had surgery on his leg. The doctor said that he can't walk for the time being and needs to rest for a while." The little soldier who was pushing Lu Jingzhen said to Xia Qingying.

"Okay, okay, when we get home, I will urge him to rest well." Xia Qingying said, and tears instantly fell from her eyes.

Just now, when she saw him coming back in a wheelchair, she had guessed countless possibilities. She was afraid that he had lost his legs, and that he would never be able to stand up again. She had never dared to ask.

In fact, in her heart, as long as Lu Jingzhen could come back, she could accept it calmly no matter if he was injured

or disabled. But she knew that Lu Jingzhen was such a proud person. If he had to be taken care of for the rest of his life, unable to take care of himself, and had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, it might be more cruel to him than sacrificing himself.

Now, after hearing the little warrior say that he just couldn't walk temporarily, she let go of her worries and dared to cry.

Her Lu Jingzhen is back, back intact.

"Dad." At this time, Lu En came over, looked at Lu Jingchen and called out in a loud voice.

After calling out, he stood very straight, raised his right hand, and saluted in a standard military salute.

Lu Jingchen looked at his son who had grown to be as tall as his wife, and recalled that when he left, he was just learning to speak, but now he has grown into a teenager. He couldn't help but have a lot of feelings in his heart.

Neither of them was an extrovert, and it was their first meeting, so they were still a little unfamiliar.

Lu Jingchen responded and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything sentimental, but just raised his hand and returned him a military salute.

This was a silent communication between two men with the highest ceremony.

"Thank you for the trouble. I'll push it." Xia Qingxiang stood up with a smile and took the wheelchair from the soldier.

"You should report to the troops first." Lu Jingchen said to the soldier.

"Yes, division commander." The soldier saluted Lu Jingchen, then said goodbye to Xia Qingxiang before turning around and leaving.

Xia Qingxiang pushed Lu Jingchen forward, with a smile on her face, and said softly:

"Let's go home."

Lu Jingchen's expression froze for a moment, and after a while, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

As far as he could remember, this was the third time his uncle had taken him home.

The first time was the afternoon when he reconciled with his childhood, the second time was the day when Su Xiangnan was sacrificed and buried, and the third time was now when he came back in a wheelchair.

It seemed that every time he encountered setbacks, she would always come to take him home quietly and gently.

It’s great to have a home, and it’s great to have her!

Xia Qingxi bought a courtyard house in the north city, and the yard was full of flowers and plants.

When Lu Jingxie was pushed in, he felt that there was a sense of déjà vu here, just like their home in the garrison area.

Because the two children had activities in their classes, Luo Ya was going to ask for leave for them to go to the station to pick up Lu Jingxie, but Xia Qingxi didn't let her.

Because the children were participating in a group activity, not going temporarily would disrupt the results of many days of rehearsal.

As soon as the afternoon activities were over, Luo Ya hurriedly took the two children back home. When she saw Lu Jingchen and saw him sitting in a wheelchair, Luo Ya was completely stunned.

After learning that his legs only needed to sit in a wheelchair temporarily, Luo Ya couldn't help but burst into tears and said:

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The two children also came forward and called Lu Jingchen "Fourth Uncle". Lu Jingchen looked at Su Luo, who was almost exactly the same as Su Xiangnan, a man of steel, and couldn't help but tear up at this moment.

Xia Qingli knew that he missed his third brother.

Who wouldn't miss him?

*

During the ten years of fighting against Country X, there were actually many opportunities for Lu Jingzhen to be transferred back, but he always stayed at the forefront of the battle.

"To completely drive Country X out of China's territory" This was the promise he made in front of Su Xiangnan's tombstone ten years ago.

His guards marched forward and died in this long war, and he himself almost lost his legs, but fortunately he spent ten years and finally fulfilled his promise. During the

time when Lu Jingzhen was recuperating, Xia Qingli felt that this was the happiest time for the two of them.

She turned the study into her own temporary studio. She designed clothes while Lu Jingzhen read books on the side. When they were tired, they would chat and drink together.

Sometimes when she was making clothes, she would find Lu Jingchen staring at her in a trance, his eyes full of love just like those in the past.

After more than three months of recuperation, Lu Jingchen's legs had almost recovered, and now he had been transferred to the North City Military District as a division commander. The whole family lived in North City and no longer had to be separated.

When July was approaching, the school was on summer vacation, and Lu Jingchen, Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya, with their three children, returned to the garrison military district in Yincheng.

It was Xia Qingcao who came to pick them up again this time. When he saw Lu Jingchen, he saluted seriously and called out,

"Hello, Chief."

Lu Jingchen looked at Xia Qingcao, who was wearing a neat military uniform and had become very stable. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said two words in a deep voice,

"Not bad!"

Xia Qingcao's eyes were a little blurry. He could still remember the scene when he first met his brother-in-law more than ten years ago and his brother-in-law asked him, who was thin and weak, "Do you want to be a soldier?"

At that time, his brother-in-law was wearing a green military uniform. He felt very proud and envious. In a blink of an eye, he also wore this military uniform.

Now he deeply realized the meaning of this military uniform:

it is not a uniform that makes people look impressive or envied, but a duty, a mission, and a belief that one must not retreat even if bloodshed and sacrifice are made.

The few of them returned to the Su family, and their aunt and eldest brother Su Xiangdong came to greet them. Their eldest uncle Su Yunlong had passed away for more than a year.

Su Yang and Su Xin from the eldest brother's family are now students at Peking University and Tsinghua University. They have been working on projects with their mentors recently and have no time to go home.

After dinner, the second uncle shared his experience with Lu Jingshan, telling him to put a heater next to him on rainy days and soak his feet more in winter, which can relieve leg pain.

These are all from the second uncle's experience. The second uncle's leg was also injured in the battle, and there were still shrapnel that had not been removed. So after learning that Lu Jingshan had a steel plate in his leg, he shared his experience with him.

It was originally a cruel thing, but both of them were very calm. It was their testimony to the cruel war and also the war's testimony to their bravery.

After dinner, the family sat together and drank tea leisurely. Lu En and Su Luo here started arguing about the topic that had never been decided before - whose father was more handsome.

"I still think my dad is more handsome!" Su Luo said, and then his sister asked again:

"Luo Su, tell me honestly, whose dad is better looking."

Luo Su hesitated for a moment and answered:

"Our dad."

After hearing this, Su Luo immediately looked at Lu En with a proud look:

"Did you hear that? Two to one, you lost, my dad is more handsome."

Lu En showed an expression of 'I don't want to bother with you', and obviously didn't want to argue with him anymore.

Lu Jingchen looked at the three children arguing, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously. He said in his heart:

"Su Xiangnan, you are indeed foresighted. The number is greater, and you are indeed at an advantage."

No matter what, Lu Jingchen lost, because he will slowly grow old and become an old man in everyone's mouth, while Su Xiangnan will always be young and handsome.
