On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lu Xue should go back to school.
She was studying at Long City University, so she returned to Long City with Wen Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting.
Before leaving, Wen Yao gave Lu Xue a coat, and Li Xiu Lian prepared some snacks for her to take along on the journey.
Huo Jingqian was waiting at the gate of the courtyard in his car. He would drive the two fathers and Lu Xue to the city train station soon.
Wan Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting spent a lively and warm New Year here, and now they are reluctant to leave.
The kids were still three or four months away from being born, and the two old fathers were even more reluctant to leave when they thought of this.
Chen Lan stuffed the new clothes Wen Yao made for Wen Guoqiang into her bag and said, "When you go back, you have to eat on time and take care of yourself."
"How about you and Yaoyao go back with me? I don't want to go back when I think about going home alone," Wen Guoqiang said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Not to mention that Yaoyao's career is thriving now and she can't do without her, her current condition is not suitable for long journeys and fatigue!" Chen Lan said helplessly.
She and Wen Guoqiang had been married for several years, and this was the first time they had been separated like this.
But her daughter is pregnant now and needs someone to be around her. As a mother, she feels at ease only when she takes care of her personally.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll apply for early retirement," Wen Guoqiang said angrily.
"That's even worse. Yichen doesn't even have a family yet. How can you retire?" Chen Lan said unhappily.
"Why? I still have to work and earn money for him to get married. He can take care of himself with his current salary. I'm already this age, and other people of my age can just enjoy their old age by raising grandchildren."
"You, stop being so childish." Chen Lan comforted him with a sigh, "If you want to be rich... forget it. If you really retire, it will be boring to stay at home every day. Your grandparents don't love them enough, so how can they let you take care of them every day?"
Chen Lan's mood was also brought down. If Wen Yihao was still alive, they would have killed him long ago.
Seeing that Chen Lan was in a low mood, Wen Guoqiang knew that he had inadvertently brought up Chen Lan's painful memories.
He sighed, "Oh, okay, I know. You guys can just relax, I'll take care of myself."
Wen Guoqiang carried the luggage out of the room, and Huo Jingqian took the luggage from his father-in-law and put it in the car.
Huo Zhenting patted Wen Guoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Old Wen, when the children are born, we will come again."
Wen Guoqiang nodded and got in the car immediately.
On the other hand, Jiang Yu and Li Xiu Lian also prepared food and clothes for Lu Xue.
Li Xiulian gave Lu Xue many instructions and asked her to take good care of herself in Long City.
Lu Xue nodded in agreement, even though it was not her first time traveling far away.
"Let it go, mom. I'll take care of myself."
After Lu Xue finished speaking, she hugged Li Xiulian, carried her luggage, and said goodbye to her brother, sister-in-law, and mother.
The car drove slowly out of the family compound. Wen Guoqiang looked through the car window at the figures of his wife and daughter going away, his heart filled with reluctance.
He knew that after this separation, they would have to wait until the children were born before they could reunite.
Lu Xue leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Her emotions were complicated. Although she had thought about giving up, she still couldn't let go.
The car suddenly stopped. Lu Xue opened her eyes and saw that the car was parked at the gate of the military area.
Wen Yichen immediately opened the car door and got in.
The car started again.
Wen Yichen stared out the window intently. The atmosphere in the car remained silent all the way.
Halfway through the journey, Huo Jingqian and Wen Yichen exchanged positions, and Wen Yichen started driving.
Lu Xue leaned her head against the window, staring at the figure in front of her.
Liang Si turned her head and pretended to look out the window.
Wen Yichen was focused on driving and didn't notice Lu Xue's gaze.
After a while, he broke the silence.
"Dad, Uncle Pei called yesterday and said Pei Xinyi and Pei Ning'an will come to Ning Province in a few days. He asked me to help take care of them." His voice was quiet and low.
"Well, I knew about this a long time ago." Wen Guoqiang replied.
"You didn't call Uncle Pei and asked him to send the child here, did you?" Wen Yichen asked tentatively.
"Well, your uncle Pei told me that Ning An was going to join the army. I thought that since you and Jing Qian were here, you could take care of Ning An if he came over," Wen Guoqiang said.
"Dad, it's OK for Ning'an to come here, why did Xinyi come here?" Wen Yichen rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
"Why, can't she come over to work in your sister's factory?" Wen Guoqiang said unhappily.
Pei Song and Wen Guoqiang are good friends who grew up together and are military doctors.
During a mission, Pei Song blocked a shot for Wen Guoqiang and managed to save him, but lost an arm and retired from the army.
He returned to his hometown, Xincheng, to retire. Wen Guoqiang's hometown is also in Xincheng.
But later, after serving in the army in Long City, he moved to Long City with his family.
Although Wen Guoqiang did not return to Xincheng to visit Pei Song, the two often wrote letters and talked on the phone, and their relationship did not fade.
"Yi Chen, you have to take good care of Xinyi and Ning'an after they come here! So that your uncle Pei can be at ease," Wen Guoqiang warned.
"Yes, I know." Wen Yichen nodded in agreement.
Four hours later, the car arrived at the downtown train station.
Wen Yichen parked the car and got out with his father.
Huo Jingqian carried Huo Zhenting's luggage, Wen Yichen carried Wen Guoqiang's luggage, and they walked towards the station lobby.
Lu Xue followed behind with her luggage, head lowered and in a depressed mood.
Suddenly, her head hit something soft.
She raised her head and saw Wen Yichen looking at her with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Wen Yichen sighed and took the luggage from her hand. "The station is crowded. You have to watch the road when you walk."
A group of people walked into the waiting hall, waiting for the arrival of the train.
After a while, the train arrived at the station and the passengers walked towards their own carriages.
Wen Yichen and Huo Jingqian helped them find the carriage and beds according to the tickets their father had given them. The three of them bought sleeper tickets.
After Wen Yichen and Huo Jingqian helped the two old fathers and Lu Xue put away their luggage, they got off the train.
They didn't go back until the train left the station.
Wen Yao and Jiang Yu are helping Fang Zhi decorate his new house.
The room was filled with a festive atmosphere. Red double happiness characters were pasted on the walls, red curtains were hung on the windows, and red sheets and quilts were covered on the beds. The whole room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Fang Zhi saw the two busy figures, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, my dear sisters! Without you, I don't know what I would do."
Wen Yao and Jiang Yu smiled at each other and said in unison: "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite!"
Fang knows that He Qifang's wedding date has been confirmed, which is set for the fourth day of the first lunar month.
The wedding hall was set up in the army cafeteria, with their comrades witnessing their love.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the fourth day of the first lunar month has quietly arrived.
