I had just returned to the family compound and hadn't been lying down for a few minutes when I heard the good news from my husband who had just come home from get off work that Tian Jun was going to join the army.
Suddenly, she didn't care about being tired anymore and got up immediately: "Is Xiaojun on annual leave?"
Lou Luhui sat next to his wife, placed her legs on his thighs, and helped massage them to relax: "It's considered a vacation, and also a preparation for entering the military academy in advance."
Tian Mi was not stupid, and immediately said happily: "Are you saying that Xiaojun got the internal recommendation quota?"
"Yes, he said he would arrive at Beijing Railway Station in the afternoon of five days later. I originally planned to ask Xiao Gu to pick him up at the railway station." Xiao Gu was his bodyguard. Three months ago, at the end of last year, the 39-year-old Lou Luhui was successfully promoted to the brigade level. According to regulations, he needed to be equipped with two bodyguards.
Tian Mi glared at her husband and said, "How can you ask Xiao Gu to go? I'll go! I'll take Zhenzhu and Beibei with me."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui, who was not surprised at all, smiled and said, "Okay!"

Tian Jun's train arrived at 3:10 pm.
However, it is common for trains to be late these days, so Tian Mi, who arrived at 2:30, had to wait for more than an hour.
It was not until around 3:50 that the late train arrived at the station.
After joining the special brigade, Tian Jun only came back once in the first year, so I haven't seen him for three years.
So, when Tian Mi saw Xiao Jun, who was tall and had long legs and whose aura was so fierce that people around him dared not approach him even though he was wearing a military uniform, he was silent.
What has this kid been through in the past three years?
Compared to her mother's confusion, Pearl, who was 11 years old in age, was very brave and rushed towards the people with her brother.
Afraid that no one could see her, she waved her hands vigorously while running: "Brother! Brother Xiaojun!"
Tian Jun also saw a few people. The coldness in his body subsided unconsciously. He walked towards this side quickly carrying a large package.
He was tall and took big steps. He rushed to the twins in just two or three steps. Then he put down the bag in his hand, said nothing, bent down, and picked up the children easily, one in each hand.
During those years on the island, he was often called home by his aunts for dinner, and he got to watch these two children grow up.
He still remembered that three years ago, when he last saw the twins, they still liked to be held and fly around.
Beibei is a boy. Although he is only 11 years old, he has good genes. He has grown to more than 1.6 meters tall and is no longer used to being held by adults.
But the other person was Brother Xiaojun, whom he had only known for a few years, so no matter how awkward it was, the young boy held back.
Compared to her brother's resistance, the sweet little girl Pearl, who was only 1.5 meters tall and wore an open skirt and small leather shoes, adapted quickly. She hugged him back and chattered without any embarrassment, as if the past three years had just passed.
Seeing this, Tian Mi patted her daughter's back with amusement, then looked at her nephew who had changed drastically and said, "You've been sitting in the car for five days, and you're not tired enough. The two little guys are so old now, don't spoil them, let them walk by themselves."
Hearing this, Beibei, who had been enduring the shame, immediately struggled to move her body downwards.
Although Zhenzhu is a little clingy, she has been well educated. She listened to her mother and knew that Xiaojun was tired, so she followed him to go to the field.
After the children were put down, Tian Mi looked up at Tian Jun again, and finally found some familiarity in his increasingly handsome and sharp features: "You... have changed so much, Second Aunt almost didn't recognize you."
Three years ago, when the young man came back, he had changed his way of addressing the Tian siblings, and he addressed them directly by their rank, instead of the previously distant Aunt Yu, Aunt Mi, etc.
Tian Jun rarely looked in the mirror and had never carefully observed his current appearance, so he said in a deep voice: "It should be because I am darker. I need to exercise every day."
It's not just that he's dark. Not only is he tall and strong, but he also has sharp eyes and looks particularly difficult to approach.
But...Tian Mi pursed her lips, thinking that he must have been on the verge of death many times in the past few years, it was not surprising that he had such a murderous aura.
Thinking of this, she did not continue the topic, but took the two children by the hand and said, "The car is parked outside, let's go out first."
It was the peak time for passengers to get on and off the platform, and there were many people near the platform. Worried that the two children and their aunt would be bumped into by the crowd, Tian Jun picked up the packages again and, as a tall and strong man, stood behind the three of them to protect them from the crowd.
Tian Mi noticed this action out of the corner of her eye and her heart softened. Even though Xiao Jun's appearance had changed a lot from the Xiao Jun she remembered, the fact that he silently took care of people remained the same.

Chatting all the way.
At that time, it was Tian Mi who asked and Tian Jun who answered.
After the car drove a distance away, Tian Mi suddenly smiled with gloating: "Xiaojun is 24 years old this year, right?"
Hearing this, Tian Jun had a bad feeling, but he still replied, "Yes, 24 years old."
Tian Mi glanced at him through the rearview mirror, seeing the embarrassment on his face, and continued with a smile: "I know you're taking the train this afternoon. Your eldest aunt arrived in the morning, and your eldest uncle-in-law should also come later. Also, your third aunt and her husband called and said they would come together after get off work. As for your fourth aunt, she has a mission and is on a business trip, but your fourth aunt also said she would come, and we will get together to welcome you..."
After hearing this, Tian Jun's aura softened a bit.
He had no relatives since childhood and grew up eating food from many families.
But the village is poor, and every household has a hard time. Not everyone is happy to be given a bite to eat.
He understood that they were not related to him in any way and the villagers did not owe him anything.
So even if I was looked down upon and scolded, although I felt uncomfortable, I could still understand it.
At that time, he would never have thought that a stagnant person would change at the age of 17.
What made Tian Jun even more grateful was that his aunt not only sent him to the army, but also took good care of him.
Not only during those years on the island, he was given ample nourishment. Even after he joined the special forces brigade, he received packages every month.
This month it's the eldest aunt's, then next month it will definitely be the second aunt's, and then the third and fourth aunts. Occasionally, his uncle Tian Xiangyang, who is younger than him, will send him books and materials and care about his studies.
Not to mention that he is only a distant cousin with no blood relationship, how many direct relatives can do this?
So Tian Junxian was grateful, and if he had any good things, he would find a way to send them to his aunt and uncle.
They were the family he regained after he turned 17, and he always cherished them.
Now that they had gathered together for him, he put on a rare smile and said, "I should be the one to visit the aunts."
Tian Mi waved her hand: "There's no rush. Don't you have more than a month's vacation? I just want to give you a shot of prevention."
The ominous premonition came again, and Tian Jun's face twitched: "What?"
Tian Mi gave him a look that said, "My elder sister, your worrying aunt, is always talking about finding a date for you."
It was not a good premonition. Tian Jun felt his scalp tingling. He raised his hand to rub his prickly hair, pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and tried to reason: "Who wants to marry me? Animals know how to build nests, but I don't even have a house. Our special brigade cannot accompany the army."
Tian Mi didn't like what he said, so she turned around and glared at him: "Who said you don't have a house? I invested the money you sent back in the past few years. It has gone bankrupt twice in more than a year. I used the money to buy you a house, which is just across the street from my home and a ten-minute walk away."
Tian Jun had no idea about this and was shocked...?
