Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu Chen with a troubled expression.
"I'll feed you." Lu Chen realized that Shen Qiaoyue was now having trouble even holding chopsticks.
Lu Chen first picked up a piece of meat for Shen Qiaoyue and fed it to her.
The first bite is bursting with oil and flavor; it's absolutely delicious.
While eating, Shen Qiaoyue asked Lu Chen, "Have you eaten?"
"I'll eat after you're done." Lu Chen knew his wife's tastes were too different; she definitely wouldn't be able to eat much, and the rest would all be his.
Seeing this, Shen Qiaoyue reached out to take the chopsticks and said to Lu Chen, "I'll eat by myself, you eat with me."
"It's okay, you can stay here with me after you finish eating." Lu Chen thought that feeding his wife was a small thing.
Shen Qiaoyue did not struggle and enjoyed the days when Lu Chen served her.
“When I visited Xiaoli yesterday, Battalion Commander Li fed her like this. She was holding their daughter in her arms. The family looked so happy.” Shen Qiaoyue was very envious of the relationship between Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli.
When Lu Chen heard what Shen Qiaoyue said, he also saw an expression of envy in her eyes.
“We are very happy. I will fulfill any request you have, my wife.” Lu Chen will try his best to meet his wife’s requests, as long as it is within his ability. If he cannot meet them, he will try his best to do so.
Shen Qiaoyue said, "I am actually very content. With you by my side, I am truly satisfied."
To be able to live another life, living a happy and ordinary life, carefree, is wonderful.
Seeing his wife's satisfied expression, Lu Chen also became happy.
He was very curious about what the future would be like.
"Wife, do you know what the next ten years will be like?" Lu Chen asked Shen Qiaoyue.
This question is actually easy to answer, but for Lu Chen, it is painful.
"The future will gradually get better, but the old folks, the good leaders we admired are no longer here." After Shen Qiaoyue finished speaking, Lu Chen's eyes were very dim.
He was unwilling to believe it, and powerless to change it.
Seeing Lu Chen's distressed expression, Shen Qiaoyue said again, "We will soon become strong. Everything is moving in a positive direction. Our child will no longer have to suffer. He can go wherever he wants to develop."
During those ten years when her soul was adrift, Jiang Jinjing often told Lu Chen that in the future, when the country becomes prosperous and strong, no one will dare to bully it.
Shen Qiaoyue didn't say, she didn't know what the next few decades would be like, but she firmly believed that the future would only get better.
"Everyone dies. What our ancestors left us is a wealth that we can never forget: the people. Only when each generation becomes stronger will we not be bullied, and the country will gradually become prosperous and powerful."
Shen Qiaoyue gently comforted Lu Chen.
Accepting reality, Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know they will leave, and we will leave in the future. Before that, I will become strong and protect the people."
When Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu Chen say those words, he seemed to be glowing; that was his charm, attracting her.
"Brother Chen, you're getting more and more handsome." Shen Qiaoyue suddenly teased Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's cheeks flushed red as his wife praised him.
Whenever Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu Chen's innocent expression, she couldn't help but smile happily and proudly.
When Lu Chen saw Shen Qiaoyue smile, he would smile along with her.
After eating a small half bowl of rice, Shen Qiaoyue could no longer eat.
Shen Qiaoyue leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder and ate with him.
Shen Qiaoyue was aware of every move Lu Chen made, the beating of his heart, and the number of times he chewed his food. Before she knew it, she leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder and fell asleep.
Shen Qiaoyue was very happy every day after that. Every night, even if Lu Chen finished his work very late, he would come back to accompany Shen Qiaoyue, even if it was just to talk.
In front of Lu Chen, Shen Qiaoyue had no secrets and no burdens, and was pampered by Lu Chen like a child.
Just before National Day, Shen Qiaoyue packed her bags to go to Beijing to attend Lu He's wedding.
We'll be taking the train there together tonight.
Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli rarely had time to go together.
Jiang Jinyao went back with her father and son, but An Lude couldn't go because he needed to stay in the army to be on duty.
Lu He invited Xia Xiaoli to the wedding this time, and Xia Xiaoli brought Li Qingming and their child along.
After discussing it together, everyone bought train tickets.
Xu Tiande went back home a week early to prepare for his son's wedding.
The whole family attached great importance to Lu He and Xu Feiming's wedding banquet.
Xia Xiaoli and Li Qingming were on the train with their child. The child was very quiet; after eating, he would sleep, and after sleeping, he would drink milk.
She didn't make a fuss at all along the way; she was always very quiet. When her parents teased her, she would happily smile.
Li Qingming, in particular, doted on his daughter and spent the whole night by her side, holding her and occasionally spacing out and chuckling to himself.
Upon arriving in Beijing, the group, who had spent a day and a night on the train, had a simple dinner together and went to bed early.
Shen Qiaoyue did not see Lu He that evening.
Because Lu He and Xu Feiming haven't returned from the military base yet, they said they wouldn't be back until the next morning.
Whenever Lu He was on leave, she would go to the military base to see Xu Feiming.
Everyone in the unit knew that Xu Feiming had married a clingy wife who would come over whenever she had free time.
