Xia Huiying and Lu Limin were very happy to see the two young men arrive and quickly invited them to sit down.
"Hello, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu."
He Binglin and Xing Yi greeted each other together.
The two tall young men standing in front of us looked incredibly energetic, and the elders were very pleased with them.
“I was just talking to Lao Lu about you guys a few days ago, and now I’ve met you. Don’t go back later, stay for dinner and let’s have a good chat.”
Xia Huiying knew that her grandson was good friends with them in the army, and that they were the ones who brought him back when he was injured. Therefore, she had a very good impression of the two men.
"We came here on orders from our superiors to visit Lu Lin. Seeing how well he has recovered, we can have something to report back to him."
Xia Huiying smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, organization. It's all thanks to Yueyue. Since she came to our home, we've had one good news after another."
Xia Huiying held Gu Mingyue's hand affectionately. When the child first came, she only treated her as an old friend's granddaughter and took good care of her.
Now, after spending so much time together, I truly consider her my own child.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. If she had such a well-behaved child, she would never be willing to leave her in her hometown.
Her parents aren't reasonable either; they'll regret it later.
Seeing that Xiaolin and Yueyue were getting along better and better, and that she was happy every day as if she had drunk honey, the Ling Lao guys all said that she was in great spirits.
"Aren't you in a hurry to go back? Stay at home for a couple more days."
He Binglin: "We also wanted to stay a couple more days, but we had orders from above and had to go on a mission."
Lu Limin: "Then the important business is more important; organizational matters cannot be delayed."
Xia Huiying chatted with Lu Limin for a few minutes, then excused herself to go for a walk, leaving the children some space to chat alone. It would be inconvenient for the children to have the two old men around.
As soon as the elders left, Xing Yi immediately sat down next to Lu Lin and whispered while Gu Mingyue wasn't paying attention, "Hurry up and tell us how you suddenly got a wife."
Lu Lin is 27 years old this year, and Xing Yi is a month older than him. The two can be described as brothers in misfortune in the army.
Today he was called to the leader's office and urged to go to the social gathering.
Tomorrow he'll be taken to his boss's office and pressured into going on a blind date.
Sometimes, they didn't even dare to step into the gate of the family compound, but the wives were just as enthusiastic.
Xing Yi had longed to wear this green uniform and serve his country since he was a child, and never imagined that he would have such troubles after joining the army.
Actually, it's not his fault. No matter when, this identity is very popular in the dating market.
He and Lu Lin graduated from the same military academy and were assigned to the same island.
There were two such young and outstanding men, and they were highly sought after by the leaders and their wives. Whoever got them first would be theirs.
Unexpectedly, these two were both incredibly dense, and they dragged their feet until they were twenty-seven without finding a partner.
Lu Lin was adamant and often said: "If I can't find someone I like, I'd rather stay single."
Nowadays, most gay men and women meet through blind dates, following the old-fashioned idea of arranged marriages.
Even if one shouts the slogan of pursuing free love, when actually entering into marriage, one must consider the differences between the two families.
At least Lu Lin had thought about finding a partner, but Xing Yi was like a bull, not thinking about it at all.
They spend all day either running drills on the training field or carrying guns to practice.
He never stops, even on rainy days; anyone who didn't know him would think he had inexhaustible strength.
During Lu Lin's absence, all the guns were pointed at him. Xing Yi had no way to express his suffering, and his ears were practically calloused from hearing it.
"Brother, I missed you so much when you weren't around, Lao Lu."
Xing Yi buried his head in Lu Lin's shoulder, looking miserable.
Lu Lin turned away in disgust, trying to avoid his approach.
Xing Yi was completely unaware, assuming that Lu Lin shared the same thoughts as him, and that the two brothers appreciated each other.
"Old Lu, you still haven't told me what happened to your sister-in-law?"
He Binglin cleared his throat, bringing the topic back on track.
Oh right, Xing Yi suddenly remembered that Lu Lin hadn't answered his question yet.
Lu Lin thought of when he first met Gu Mingyue, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, his lips curving upwards. "It's a long story, and someone like you who doesn't have a wife wouldn't understand."
Xing Yi: ?
He stared wide-eyed at He Binglin, then at Lu Lin. Of the three, he was the only one without a partner, so the words must have been directed at him.
That's heartbreaking; this isn't his good brother anymore.
"Old Lu, I covered for you in front of the leaders, and this is how you treat me?"
Xing Yi couldn't wait to drag his good buddy to the training field for a match.
"Alright, what kind of behavior is it for a grown man to cry like this?"
Xing Yi wiped away his tears and stubbornly said, "I can't even ask questions, can I not even cry? Sister-in-law, look at this kid."
Xing Yi turned to Gu Mingyue and complained.
Gu Mingyue smiled brightly, "Lu Lin is very happy that you've come. You can do whatever you want. It's definitely not true that he says he doesn't want to."
"Really? I knew we brothers couldn't live without each other."
Lu Lin glanced at Gu Mingyue.
This statement doesn't help him; it actually harms him. Didn't you see that he's become even more clingy?
Oh well, he's my partner, so I can only spoil him.
"Before we came, the leaders were worried that your injuries weren't healing well, so they told us not to mention anything about the military camp in front of you."
Seeing that Lu Lin was recovering well, He Binglin decided not to hide anything and briefly told him what he could.
"Please go back for me. Thank you for your concern, leader. I will definitely recover as soon as possible and return home soon."
Lu Lin was extremely grateful for his leader's decision at the time. If his application hadn't been rejected, he probably would have lost the opportunity to fight alongside his brothers.
"Brother Xing, Brother He, what's the scenery like on the island?"
Lu Wanwan was very curious about the place where her brother used to work.
Because of confidentiality, there was a lot of information they didn't know. Every time her brother called, he would only tell them good news and not bad.
Lu Wanwan had never visited her brother's post, only heard him mention that it was a beautiful island, so she was very curious.
Xing Yi: "Our island is wonderful. It has mountains and water, beautiful scenery, and you can go up the mountain to catch wild game or go down to the sea to catch fish."
He Binglin: "The facilities on the island are becoming more and more complete. There is water and electricity, as well as schools and hospitals. The lives of soldiers and their families are better guaranteed. When my younger siblings go to join the army in the future, I won't have to worry about their living conditions."
He Binglin realized that the relationship between the two needed to be further developed, so he took the initiative to help his brother.
Lu Lin gave him a look that said, "You little brat, you'd better know what's good for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue readily agreed.
