Xing Yuan looked at the lively children and nodded with a smile.
His gaze fell on Su Luo, and seeing her holding a child, he felt a little puzzled. He said softly, "Stand back a bit, don't get too close, it's safer that way."
Su Luo nodded, then took two steps back while holding Su Tiantian.
"Ah~"
Su Tiantian made a childish sound, "I want to see too!"
Attracted by the voice, Xing Yuan couldn't help but say, looking at Su Tiantian's fair and adorable appearance, "Your child is so cute."
"Ya~ pfft~"
Su Tiantian suddenly saw a stranger and felt very curious. Most importantly, this stranger was good-looking and had golden light shimmering around him.
This is a person with a lot of merit. Such a person has accumulated merit over several lifetimes or has formed good karma by saving many people in this life.
"Ah~"
Su Tiantian smiled, her childlike voice sounding soft and cute, as if she were talking to someone.
Xing Yuan's gaze softened, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Is she smiling at me?"
Xing Yuan was a little unsure. This was just a baby, so why was it smiling at him?
His appearance was too serious, and many children would cry when they saw him. So when he suddenly met a child who smiled as soon as he looked at him, he was both delighted and incredulous.
"Auntie, let Uncle hold your little sister, let's count together!"
Su Xueguang cleverly said, "My sister smiled at me, so she must like me."
The person my sister likes must be pretty good.
"Auntie, auntie, come quick!"
Su Xuemin's children also started calling her Su Luo.
Su Luo was at a loss for what to do.
She said helplessly, "My little sister can't leave her mother; she only feels safe in her aunt's arms."
Xing Yuan listened to the children and Su Luo's conversation, and looked at Su Luo with a mixture of surprise and slight disappointment.
He never expected that she was already married, and that the child was actually hers. He had thought the child belonged to her eldest or second sister-in-law.
Su Luo smiled politely at Xing Yuan and said, "Comrade, please don't mind, the children are still young and don't understand."
Xing Yuan was wearing a military uniform and exuded righteousness.
But Su Luo harbored resentment towards soldiers, so she didn't want a strange soldier to hold her child.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll keep track of the numbers."
Xing Yuan sensed the coldness in Su Luo's words, and he replied politely.
He glanced at Su Tiantian, then went over to help her keep count.
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
They were quickly drawn to the competition between the military and civilians.
"one two three……"
The children counted loudly, while the soldiers doing push-ups remained unfazed, even doing one-handed push-ups.
When Su Chengguo was doing push-ups, he saw that all the soldiers were doing them with one hand, so he gritted his teeth and did the same with one hand.
"Go, Dad! Go, Dad!"
Su Xueguang kept cheering on Su Chengguo.
Su Chengguo's face turned red. His stamina was quite good, but he was quickly defeated in front of regular soldiers.
On the arm-wrestling side, they were all defeated by the soldiers.
They were all fishermen, with outstanding endurance and arm strength, but they were still no match for regular soldiers.
People have gained a deeper understanding of the soldiers' "impregnable fortress".
After the competition, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
"With you guarding the country, it will surely become strong, prosperous and strong."
Su Chengguo covered her mouth with her hand and shouted.
"Yes, our motherland is getting better and better!"
Countless people echoed this sentiment, followed by even more enthusiastic applause.
Xing Yuan led his soldiers to salute the crowd.
"Thank you for the people's trust. We will definitely become stronger and stronger."
Xing Yuan spoke solemnly and seriously, and then led his soldiers out of the field in a marching manner.
After watching the exercise, the people went home.
Su Chengguo returned to Su Luo's side to help hold the baby.
Su Chenggong walked over and said, "I'm also Tian Tian's uncle. You carried her when we came, so it's my turn to carry her when we go back."
Su Chengguo scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Hehe, okay."
Su Chenggong finally got to hold the little guy, and Su Tiantian smiled happily when she saw that it was her uncle.
My eldest uncle is a man of few words, but his embrace is incredibly warm.
"Little one, did you have fun today? Come on, let's go home."
Su Chenggong said with a smile.
Xing Yuan had excellent hearing and accurately heard these words amidst the noisy crowd. He glanced at them a few times and felt something was off.
What exactly happened to that girl? Why was she at her parents' house with her child?
Logically speaking, a child this young should be at home during this stage.
But it seemed she was always at her parents' home, which felt a bit strange.
However, he didn't have time to think much about it. The road back to the army and the road back to the village were in opposite directions, and he couldn't hear anything anymore.
As Su Luo walked home, Li Xue reminded her to watch her step.
Speaking of the military exercises, Zhou Chunmei said with a smile, "These soldiers are really amazing. They train for who knows how long every day. They are truly admirable."
"Mom, they train all day long."
Su Xueguang interjected with great interest.
"Sister-in-law, Luo, that comrade just now, does he look familiar to you?"
Zhou Chunmei recalled the people she had just seen and asked about Li Xue and Su Luo.
"It does look somewhat familiar."
Li Xue nodded.
"It's the same person from last time."
Su Luo recognized her.
"Then he must be an official."
Su Chengguo recalled the conversation and couldn't help but wonder what kind of official he was.
"Auntie, my sister really likes him. Shall we come see him again tomorrow?"
Su Xuemin looked at Su Luo and spoke.
The children immediately looked at Su Luo: "Auntie, Auntie, please promise us!"
The uncle didn't hug the little sister today, but as long as the aunt comes every day, there will definitely be a chance.
"You little rascals, stop causing trouble. It's hot and sunny here. Your little aunt can't come out every day. Besides, your little sister is still so young. Unlike you guys, she's not tough. She can't stand this kind of sun."
Zhou Chunmei pinched Su Xueguang's ear, wondering what was wrong with these kids, why they were suddenly clinging to Su Luo.
"Auntie, we can bring water!"
Su Xuemin immediately said, "It's okay if it's hot."
"I'll fan my aunt!"
Su Xuebo also said.
“My aunt can wear a hat, and I can help carry my little sister.”
Su Xueguang also said.
"We can protect my aunt and sister."
Su Xuekuo also spoke up.
Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue looked at each other and both noticed that something was wrong with the children.
"Go away, go away! Stop causing trouble! If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be in for a beating!"
Su Chengguo pretended to wave her hand, shooing away several mischievous children.
The children looked at each other, then ran home.
"A-Luo, don't pay attention to them, they're just playful and have no sense of propriety."
Su Chengguo said to Su Luo, he was afraid that Su Luo would overthink, that Su Luo would be sensitive and think that it was their children who made Su Luo go out, and that Su Luo would misunderstand that they couldn't stand her staying at home.
