Faced with Lu Chen's reminder, the father looked down at the ground, and for some reason, he just didn't dare to meet Lu Chen's gaze.
He looked up at Song Changzheng and Liao Shanhe and patted them on the shoulder.
"Give my regards to Ya Shi. I'm leaving." Jiang Mingjing glanced at Lu Chen before boarding the plane.
It seems we won't be able to hear Lu Chen say those words today!
"Dad~" Lu Chen called out naturally as he watched Jiang Mingjing walk toward the plane.
Jiang Mingjing turned to look at Lu Chen, his expression still calm, but inside he was overjoyed.
"Take good care of yourself. You're not a young man in your twenties anymore. Take good care of yourself," Lu Chen told Jiang Mingjing.
After being here for a few days, Lu Chen also learned about Jiang Mingjing's life. He could only eat light food to nourish his stomach and could not eat too much oily food.
"Okay, I understand. I'm leaving now?" Jiang Mingjing didn't dare to look at Lu Chen, afraid that if he did, he would lose his composure in front of the child.
Lu Chen originally thought he would be very happy, but he didn't expect Jiang Mingjing to be as indifferent as usual.
"Okay, take care of yourself." Lu Chen nodded to Jiang Mingjing.
Jiang Mingjing nodded twice and headed towards the boarding gate.
With his back to everyone, Jiang Mingjing's lips curled up slightly, and he almost couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His son called him "Dad"!
Liao Shanhe and Song Changzheng exchanged a glance, then smiled together.
"Lu Chen, your father is very happy!" Liao Shanhe said to Lu Chen with emotion.
Lu Chen, who had been watching Jiang Mingjing board the plane, was puzzled. He couldn't see any joy in Jiang Mingjing's expression.
“But he was indifferent and not happy?” Lu Chen retorted.
Liao Shanhe and Song Changzheng looked at each other and smiled.
“Your dad, he just doesn’t like to show his thoughts to others. I bet the moment he turns around, he’s smiling happily, and even his steps are light.” Song Changzheng sighed, “When I used to work with him, he was like this, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.”
Lu Chen was skeptical.
After Jiang Mingjing boarded the plane, he waved goodbye to them.
Lu Chen raised his hand in response to Jiang Mingjing.
After closing the plane door, Lu Chen and Liao Shanhe turned around and walked inside.
The plane took off and left very quickly.
Lu Chen took a car back, glanced at Shen Qiaoyue, and then went back to his unit for training.
After the Spring Festival, the soldiers who had gone home to visit their families returned to work.
After a few days of relaxation, some people gained a lot of weight, while others lost weight and became more tanned. Many others remained unchanged.
After the New Year, Shen Qiaoyu and her family in Beijing were packing their bags to return to Fucheng.
He Ping and Shen Qiaoying took them to the Beijing Railway Station.
"Mom, remember to call me when you get back?" Shen Qiaoying held her mother's hand, her voice choked with emotion as she gave her mother these words of advice.
He Ping held Yuan Yuan in his arms and, seeing his wife crying so sadly, quickly patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.
Seeing her daughter so heartbroken, Chu Wanfang reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Qiaoying's eyes.
"Xiaoying! Over the years, your mother has always asked you to take care of your younger sister. Every time, I only care about how Qiaoyue is doing, and I've neglected you!" Chu Wanfang touched Chen Qiaoying's face.
Shen Qiaoying, who had been living in Beijing for several months, had become much fairer. It was clear that He Ping loved his daughter, and as a mother, she was relieved.
This was the first time Shen Qiaoying had heard these words from her mother.
Seeing her daughter's silence, Chu Wanfang knew that her eldest daughter had suffered a lot of grievances.
"Xiaoying, I'm so sorry! I know it's no use saying this now, and the blows I suffered in the past can't be made up for. Now that you've found someone you can entrust your life to, I'm happy for you and sincerely wish you happiness. Don't worry about me, just live your life well, and I'll be at ease!" Chu Wanfang held her daughter's hand tightly.
Shen Qiaoying nodded silently and looked at her mother, Chu Wanfang, saying, "Mom, I don't blame you anymore! I'm the older sister, so it's my duty to take care of Qiaoyue. She was less than six years old when you left her, so it's normal for you to be worried."
"My daughter!" Hearing these words from her daughter, Chu Wanfang felt even more guilty.
Holding Shen Qiaoying, he wept, his eyes filled with reluctance and worry!
On the eve of Shen Qiaoying and He Ping's departure from Fucheng, Chu Wanfang couldn't sleep and talked to her daughter a lot about what to do after getting married.
She felt sorry for her daughter and owed her something, and she wanted to make up for it with her actions.
Over the years, I've been so busy with work that I've never worried about the important life events of my children.
Seeing his mother's reluctance to part with her daughter, Shen Qiaoyu quickly comforted her, "Mom, when you miss Qiaoying, you can still come and see her. Don't be too sad; you shouldn't get too excited."
"Yes, Mom, don't get agitated. Once things settle down here, I'll come back to see you and my sister. Don't get excited, it's bad for your health," Shen Qiaoying advised worriedly.
Chu Wanfang held back her tears.
He released Shen Qiaoying and looked at He Ping.
"Mom!" He Ping knew his mother-in-law had something to say to him.
"He Ping, I'm entrusting Xiaoying's mother to you. Please take good care of her!" Chu Wanfang was naturally worried about her daughter's well-being after she married far away.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Qiaoying. She is my wife." He Ping promised as he looked at Shen Qiaoying.
Shen Qiaoying looked up and met He Ping's gaze.
"Mom, is the car about to leave?" Shen Qiaoyu reminded her again.
Chu Wanfang was worried and stared at Shen Qiaoying with reluctance.
"Mom, go back now. I'll miss you and I'll write to you and call you," Shen Qiaoying quickly said to Chu Wanfang.
After hugging Shen Qiaoying, Qian Luoshui took Yuanyuan from He Ping's arms.
The family boarded the train and waved goodbye to He Ping and Chen Qiaoying.
The train departed, and Shen Qiaoying tearfully bid farewell to her family.
He Ping helped Shen Qiaoying up and comforted her, "It's alright. If you miss your family, we'll go back to visit them together when we have time."
Shen Qiaoying looked up at He Ping with tears in her eyes and nodded.
That's all we can do now.
From the day Shen Qiaoying got married, Chu Wanfang was constantly busy preparing for the wedding.
We've prepared all kinds of fabrics and blankets that we could.
Chu Wanfang paid for both the sewing machine and the wardrobe. Originally, the groom's family was supposed to pay for these three items (sewing machine, watch, and radio), but Chu Wanfang prepared the dowry so that her daughter could hold her head high in her husband's family.
He Ping converted all the money he spent on the three-wheeled vehicle and the radio into cash, and Chu Wanfang gave it all to her daughter without missing a penny.
The dowry consisted of 3,000 yuan, along with other items such as a sewing machine, bicycle, radio, and watch, which were prepared by the groom's family.
Although the thirty-two legs were not fully prepared, the cabinets, dressing table, quilts and bed were all brand new. Chu Wanfang just wanted her daughter to be able to hold her head high in her husband's family.
Qiaoying had no job, no income, and was still waiting in line for work. As her mother, Chu Wanfang gave Qiaoying an additional two thousand yuan.
She gave almost all of her and her husband's savings to their children for their weddings.
