The first signs of the full moon appear
"Who to hit?"
When Shi Mingzhu turned around, she saw Huo Chengfeng standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to his side, "Have you completed the retirement process?"
Huo Chengfeng on the opposite side was also stunned. The cute and lovely Shi Mingzhu in front of him suddenly struck his heart.
Huo Chengfeng looked at her running towards him and subconsciously raised his hand. The fragrance filled his nose and he looked forward to hugging her.
Unfortunately, she stopped in front of him.
He felt lost for a moment and stared at her intently. She was wearing a rose-red polka-dot dress with a headband of the same color as the dress on her head. Her skin was pink and her lips were red. He was so stunned that he couldn't take his eyes away. His eyes were full of her.
She smiled so brightly that just by looking at him she felt all the fatigue in her body disappear.
"Hurry up and say something!" Shi Mingzhu anxiously grabbed his hand and shook it.
Huo Chengfeng looked at her and shook his head. "The report has been submitted, but the political commissar has already agreed to withdraw it. I will be able to work in the local area after a while."
"Really?!" Shi Mingzhu's eyes sparkled and her face was full of surprise.
Huo Chengfeng nodded, and took her hand with the hand that was not holding the luggage. Shi Mingzhu did not shake off his hand. He gently held it and led her into the room.
"Retire?" At the same time, Yu Meizhen's surprised voice sounded.
Huo Chengfeng put down his luggage, met his mother's puzzled gaze and nodded.
"Why did you retire?" Yu Meizhen asked anxiously, then she realized something. She turned her head and glanced at Shi Mingzhu, "Why don't you two discuss this with your families?!"
Shi Mingzhu didn't say anything, she was quite happy. There was nothing Yu Meizhen could do even if she was unhappy, as her retirement was already decided. Huo Chengfeng followed her ideas step by step, and this could change his ending.
Yu Meizhen was really angry, but she couldn't be angry at Shi Mingzhu. Besides, the person who should be more angry was her son, who had such a smart brain, but did such an impulsive thing.
"You've become the battalion commander! Why are you so impulsive!"
Huo Chengfeng: "Mom, I have thought about it carefully, and I will be assigned to a local job after I retire."
"There's no comparison at all!" Yu Meizhen retorted loudly.
"Mom, don't be so fierce. Yangyang will be scared." Shi Mingzhu said as she took Yangyang away from Yu Meizhen.
Yu Meizhen glanced at Yangyang, pulled her son out of the room, and wanted to ask about the situation in detail.
Huo Chengfeng, on the other hand, advised Yu Meizhen not to be angry. He patted her shoulder and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll be fine."
Yu Meizhen felt upset: "You like being a soldier so much..."
Huo Chengfeng shook his head. "Mom, you are wrong. I don't like being a soldier. I just..."
He paused suddenly, and Yu Meizhen waited anxiously for what to say next.
"Just what?"
"I just treat being a soldier as a job," Huo Chengfeng shook his head. "Mom, don't think too much. I am willing to retire."
After he finished speaking, he left Yu Meizhen to digest it on her own. He went back to his room, got a set of clothes, and went to wash up.
I just came back, covered in dust, and couldn't even hold the child.
After changing into clean clothes, Huo Chengfeng was finally able to hug his son. Half a month later, Yangyang seemed to have grown up a little.
He wanted to see his son, but Yangyang in his arms pouted and twisted his body, looking very resisting him.
"I haven't seen you for half a month, and you feel like a stranger to your dad?" Huo Chengfeng said as he gently shook his hands.
"It's not strange, but if you hug him more in the future it won't be like this anymore."
"Your eldest brother, second sister, third sister, and fourth brother sent gifts, especially your eldest brother, who sent two boxes of goat milk powder, 12 cans in total, which Yangyang can drink for a long time. They said they were busy with work and couldn't come for Yangyang's one-month full moon. They live far away and transportation is not convenient now, so I understand why they didn't come." Shi Mingzhu said with a smile.
"My third sister even called me, and I said it was okay, and we could have dinner together when I got back."
Huo Chengfeng nodded to indicate that he understood. He lowered his head and looked at her silently.
"The clothes you are wearing..." He remembered that there was no polka-dot skirt among the clothes he bought for her.
"Isn't it beautiful? Guess who bought it for me." Shi Mingzhu stood up and turned around in front of him. She liked this dress very much.
Huo Chengfeng nodded and shook his head. She was indeed dressed beautifully and was as pretty as the bright moon in the sky.
"Your third sister bought them for me. She bought several sets. Her taste is better than yours. Haha!" Huo Chengfeng's third sister is the lead dancer of the dance troupe of the Workers' Cultural Palace. She is a great beauty.
Huo Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and did not comment. He just stared at her face silently, and Mingzhu embarrassedly avoided his intense gaze.
The emotions in it were so strong that they seemed to melt people apart. Shi Mingzhu could not bear to see it.
Shi Mingzhu cleared her throat and brought the topic back to the full moon banquet.
"Your brothers and sisters are not coming anyway, so we can just have a simple meal with the neighbors' sisters-in-law. By the way, remember to invite your friend, the one with the surname Ji." "Well, my political commissar will come too." Huo Chengfeng said.
Shi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again the next second, "Come on, it's time to come, thank him well, after I retire, I won't be able to see him again."
They are all going to retire, and it is impossible for them to retire without the political commissar's approval.
When Shi Mingzhu thought of this, she became much more tolerant. It was just a meal, and she didn't want to care too much about it.
Two days later, Yangyang was a full moon. Shi Mingzhu met the political commissar Jiang Yeqiang mentioned by Huo Chengfeng.
With half white hair and dressed in casual clothes, even though he has restrained himself a lot, he cannot hide his fierceness.
In her previous life, after Huo Chengfeng passed away, it was this person who came to comfort her. However, things are different now. Shi Mingzhu put on a smiling face and said, "Hello, Political Commissar."
"Hello, this is for the kids."
Jiang Yeqiang handed over a red envelope and put it into the pocket of Yangyang's quilt.
"Thank you, Political Commissar." Shi Mingzhu accepted it.
Jiang Yeqiang nodded and glanced at Yangyang, who was white and plump, wearing a red dress and looked as cute as a doll in a New Year picture.
Looking at Shi Mingzhu again, she was dressed in bright yellow, generous and dignified, with the temperament of a star on a high stage.
"No wonder you want to retire." Jiang Yeqiang sighed to Huo Chengfeng.
With a lovely wife and young son, he is truly a winner in life.
He looked a little sentimental, and the next second he asked Huo Chengfeng seriously, "Which unit do you want to go to? I'll ask if there's any opportunity for you."
When Shi Mingzhu heard this, her eyes lit up and her expression immediately became serious. She suggested in a low voice, "Political Commissar, let's sit down and talk."
Political Commissar Jiang is also concerned about Huo Chengfeng's job assignment after retirement? ! This is just great!
Jiang Yeqiang looked at her, and Huo Chengfeng slowly raised the corners of his lips. Although he was a little surprised, he felt happy when he saw Shi Mingzhu worrying about him.
Jiang Yeqiang stared at Shi Mingzhu quietly for a few seconds, then turned back to look at Huo Chengfeng's agitated expression which he couldn't hide, and he just felt that he couldn't bear to watch it.
But he still agreed.
After sitting down, Shi Mingzhu stuffed Yangyang into Huo Chengfeng's arms, then began to make tea, pouring a cup for Jiang Yeqiang first.
"Commissar, have some tea."
Jiang Yeqiang took it and took a sip, "Not bad! You are very smart!" He looked at Shi Mingzhu.
Shi Mingzhu just smiled, then looked at Huo Chengfeng expectantly, motioning him to get down to business.
She believed that Huo Chengfeng would not let her down. She had already told Huo Chengfeng frankly that they could not go together and would only separate.
"I want to go to the Special Administrative Region Police Station." Huo Chengfeng said. Huo Chengfeng has already thought about it. Being a soldier and working at the police station are, to some extent, related careers.
Shi Mingzhu was shocked. But Huo Chengfeng's decision made her very satisfied.
She looked at Jiang Yeqiang silently.
"Special Zone?" Jiang Yeqiang was surprised. "You have a good eye."
"But," he changed the subject and took a sip of tea, "this place is not easy to go to. The Special Administrative Region is now economically prosperous, and it will definitely be a place with money in the future. If there is money, there will be a lot of people eyeing it, and everyone wants to make some achievements."
"I'm just worried that you can't compete with others."
Although Jiang Yeqiang is in the military, he is also aware of the situation outside. The market economy is quite dynamic. The Special Administrative Region is an economic development zone that the country pays special attention to. With policy support, anyone who has the courage to go there can make money.
"Political Commissar, didn't you say that you only care about your own future?" Huo Chengfeng glanced at Shi Mingzhu and said, "So I want to give it a try."
This was too much of a thought, but Jiang Yeqiang didn't discourage him, "You have great ambitions."
He looked at Shi Mingzhu again, "He wants to go to the Special Zone because of you."
Shi Mingzhu smiled and said nothing, which was considered as her agreement.
"It's human nature to go to a big city to develop. I understand that," Jiang Yeqiang said. "I support you going to a big city to make use of your remaining energy."
He patted Huo Chengfeng on the shoulder.
"In that case, then... you must complete the task beautifully and strive to make a contribution in the end. This way, you will have a better chance of being assigned to work in the special zone."
"I know."
The smile on Shi Mingzhu's face suddenly froze and she looked at the two of them fiercely. What did she hear just now? Finally make a contribution? Beautifully done? You can't blame her for thinking too much. Combining the previous and next sentences, her heart was pounding.
"The Special Administrative Region is now in a state of disrepair and needs courageous people to build it. Come on, I am confident in you," said Jiang Yeqiang.
Huo Chengfeng nodded.
"What did you mean by that sentence just now?" Shi Mingzhu suddenly asked.
The sudden voice made both men stunned.
"What?"
Shi Mingzhu looked at Huo Chengfeng, who had a confused look on his face. She then looked at Jiang Yeqiang, who also had a puzzled look on his face.
Shi Mingzhu's heart was beating fast and her head was buzzing. What did they mean by what they said just now?
She was very sensitive to the word "meritorious service". In his previous life, Huo Chengfeng had made meritorious service and it was awarded posthumously.
"Chengfeng, your friend is here." My mother-in-law's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Shi Mingzhu swallowed hard, today was Yangyang's full moon.
She told herself, wait until night, wait until night.
I'll ask Huo Chengfeng later in the evening.
She raised her eyes to look at Huo Chengfeng, who was looking at her with concern.
"Mingzhu, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Mingzhu glanced at Jiang Yeqiang and forced a smile, "It's okay, maybe Ji Shaoyuan is here, you can take the child out."
Jiang Yeqiang glanced at them and felt that they had something to say, so he spoke first, "I'll go out first."
Shi Mingzhu ignored him. If her guess was true, then she would not treat Jiang Yeqiang, the evil god, with a good face.
After he left, Shi Mingzhu looked at Huo Chengfeng. She hated his concern for her without him knowing it. She patted his face gently, suppressed her anger, and smiled calmly, "Huo Chengfeng, you'd better not hide anything from me."
