Xiaobao is cute, has fair skin, and her facial features combine the best of her parents. She is obviously a beauty at first glance.
Huang Meimei liked her daughter, so she held Xiaobao tightly and wouldn't let go.
The little girl Xiaobao was still a little shy. She felt a little embarrassed when Huang Meimei praised her, so she twisted and turned in Huang Meimei's arms.
Huang Meimei and Lu Zhiyao looked at Xiaobao's actions and both laughed.
Huang Meimei's husband walked over with the brewed tea, and seeing Xiaobao's actions, he immediately hugged Xiaobao over.
As he held her, he said, "Be good, little darling, uncle will hold you, be careful of Aunt Huang's belly."
Lu Zhiyao reacted immediately when she felt her stomach rumbling. She looked at Huang Meimei in shock.
Seeing Lu Zhiyao's eyes, Huang Meimei looked at her belly again.
"My husband is making a fuss. It's nothing serious. Thanks to your medicine, I found out I'm pregnant."
Huang Meimei looked very gentle after she became pregnant. Lu Zhiyao was as excited as she was when she heard the news.
"Congratulations, Meimei!"
Lu Zhiyao put down the teacup, looking surprised. She was really happy for Huang Meimei.
Huang Meimei smiled and said, "Thank you, Yaoyao. I know you really want to bless me. I wanted to tell you right after I found out, but you were too busy. I didn't have time to look for you, and your family has been..."
Huang Meimei didn't finish her words because she was afraid the two children would hear her.
"Oh, it's okay. For me, your situation is good news."
Lu Zhiyao was indeed happy for her, knowing that she was thinking about her. She felt satisfied to have such a friend.
Lu Zhiyao patted the back of her hand and said, "I'll leave the children to you. I'm leaving now. I have things to do at home."
There are indeed things that need to be arranged. After all, the funeral needs to be presided over by Lu Zhiyao personally.
And she also had to go back and pick out a set of military uniforms to use as a cenotaph, otherwise if the body wasn't found, she wouldn't know what to put in the grave.
"Okay, leave the kids to me. It's okay. Just go and do your own thing. I'll take good care of them. We won't send you off then. Take care."
Huang Meimei stood up and saw Lu Zhiyao off.
Huang Meimei's husband took Dabao and Xiaobao to play in another room, deliberately preventing them from seeing their mother leave, so that they would not make a fuss and ask to go home.
The next morning, Lu Zhiyao got up very early. She wanted to look for Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian has been in a bad mood during this period. Lu Zhiyao understands her pain of losing her lover, so she spends a lot of time with her.
Today she also went to Jiang Nian's residence, preparing to go to the Martyrs' Cemetery with her to see Mu Qingyuan and Luo Yan off.
Many people from the army came to the funeral.
Lu Zhiyao stood with Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian has been taken care of by Lu Zhiyao these days, and she has shed many tears.
But today, when he saw their tombstones, Jiang Nian couldn't help it and started crying again.
Lu Zhiyao originally wanted to comfort her, but she felt that it was too fake, and it would not be good if she didn't look very sad.
So Lu Zhiyao deliberately took a half step back and observed how a really sad person like Jiang Nian cried, and she followed suit.
When Jiang Nian wiped his tears, she wiped her tears. When Jiang Nian gave her flowers, she gave her flowers. Her every move was imitating Jiang Nian, and she looked really sad.
Many leaders came to the funeral. Lu Zhiyao knew some of them but not others.
However, Captain Liu was a good person. He knew that Lu Zhiyao came from the countryside and had no one to help her, so he took the initiative to act as Lu Zhiyao's elder and help her receive these leaders.
Mu Qingyuan's teammates were very good. They took care of everything on their own initiative without Lu Zhiyao saying anything.
So Lu Zhiyao was relatively relaxed and just needed to cry here for a while.
The minister and Ma Jia came from a distance and saw Lu Zhiyao and Jiang Nian crying. The minister asked them to mourn.
Ma Jia was in a good mood when she saw Lu Zhiyao crying sadly. She glanced at Lu Zhiyao intentionally or unintentionally.
But the more he looked at her, the more he felt something was wrong. Although Lu Zhiyao was crying, her eyes and eyebrows were still so pretty. Ma Jia was still unhappy and secretly thought that he should stab more little people when he returned, and it would be best if he could stab Lu Zhiyao to death.
Since no body was found, all that was left in the grave were clothes, and those who came acquiesced and did not pay their respects to the body.
After the funeral, Lu Zhiyao dragged her tired body back home.
It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
After sitting at home for two hours, Lu Zhiyao calmed down before going to Huang Meimei's house to pick up the children.
Huang Meimei sent the children out, exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Zhiyao, and told her not to be too sad before she was willing to go home.
Lu Zhiyao carried the children home and went out of her way to talk to them as usual. Dabao and Xiaobao were having a lot of fun at Huang Meimei's house, so they didn't notice anything was wrong.
When they returned home, they looked for their father several times but couldn't find him. Finally, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Dabao was holding the airplane that Mu Qingyuan had carved out of wood. Looking at the airplane, he missed his father.
Looking at Dabao's puzzled eyes, Lu Zhiyao didn't know how to start.
Today is their father's funeral, I can't possibly tell them this.
Lu Zhiyao patiently put Dabao and Xiaobao together, and then told them seriously, "Dad's mission this time is a long-term mission, which may be as short as one year or as long as two years, so you may not see Dad for a long time, and you must keep it a secret and don't let others know."
Lu Zhiyao felt that this was reasonable. Anyway, everyone assumed that Mu Qingyuan had passed away. Even if the child said it unintentionally, they would not believe it and would think that Lu Zhiyao was just comforting the child.
"Is that so?"
The luster in Dabao's eyes suddenly faded. He must miss his father very much, otherwise he wouldn't ask him every day.
Xiaobao was more sensible. He hugged Lu Zhiyao's legs and said, "I will wait for Dad at home."
After this incident, the two kids didn’t ask where their daddy was going for several days.
After living in the staff quarters for about a week, Lu Zhiyao began to pack up her belongings.
Logically speaking, after Mu Qingyuan's death, Lu Zhiyao should have received the notice to move out of the compound, but a week later, Lu Zhiyao still hadn't received the news, and she found it a little strange.
However, although Mu Qingyuan "passed away", Lu Zhiyao had the identity of a military doctor, so she should have a house, but it was not this big, so Lu Zhiyao packed up her things and waited for the notice to move.
Just as we were packing up, someone from the army arrived.
Captain Liu asked someone to come and ask Lu Zhiyao to go to his office to find him.
Lu Zhiyao didn't understand, but went anyway.
When we arrived at the team leader's office, the team leader spoke first.
