The snow in Beijing this year is heavier than in previous years.
He Lihua looked at the snowflakes falling outside the yard and couldn't help but sigh.
In half a month, it will be the Chinese New Year again.
It has been three years and four months since Tangtang left home.
She has not returned yet.
At the beginning, although my son said that Tangtang had something to do and would come back after finishing his work.
But after being gone for three and a half years, it's really hard not to wonder if something happened to Tangtang...
"grandmother."
Lu Chenxi, who was already nine years old, walked out of the house.
"Grandma, you're standing in the yard in the cold wind again. Dad will come back and scold you soon."
Lu Chenxi came forward and put the coat in his hand on He Lihua's shoulders.
He Lihua turned around and looked at her granddaughter who had grown into a little adult, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Xixi, have you finished your homework?"
"I'm done."
Lu Chenxi answered obediently.
During the three years that Jiang Tang was away from home, Lu Chenxi became much more sensible.
It was as if he had grown from a child to the pillar of the family in an instant.
"Cheng'an hasn't finished his homework yet, Chengping is supervising him."
Lu Chenxi complained to her grandmother.
He Lihua's smile widened when she heard this. "When your father comes back later, let him deal with him."
"Um…"
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, they saw a jeep parked on the road outside the yard, and Lu Changzheng got out of the car.
When Lu Chenxi saw his father, he greeted him immediately.
"Dad, why don't you have an umbrella?"
In three years, Lu Changzheng's face did not show many signs of aging, but his whole person gave people a more silent and introverted feeling.
It’s okay when I’m at home, after all, I’m facing my own children and my own mother.
So Lu Changzheng is quite easy-going.
When he is at work, you rarely hear him speak unless it is necessary.
Even his brother-in-law Cheng Guoyuan and his good brother Zhao Jianguo made it difficult for Lu Changzheng to arouse his interest and chat with them.
He has changed.
Although it is hard to say what has changed, it has changed.
When Lu Changzheng is alone, he will stare at one place in a daze for a long time.
He no longer had to worry about training. No matter whether it was freezing cold or scorching hot, he would go to the barracks and train with the new recruits.
He Lihua saw many times that her son stayed up late at night practicing boxing in the yard.
She knew that her son was thinking about Tangtang.
Although no one said it, everyone knew it.
At the beginning, the triplets would pester their father and grandmother, asking when their mother would come back.
As time went by, the triplets gradually stopped asking.
They would also be silent, looking into the distance silently, hoping that their mother’s figure would suddenly appear in their sight...
At this moment, Lu Changzheng listened to his daughter's words and looked at her eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to his wife's, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's snowing, no need for an umbrella."
"But…"
Before Lu Chenxi could finish her words, a figure hurried over in the snow.
"Commander, there's a call for you."
………
Jiang Tang sat in the Public Security Bureau, quietly waiting for the phone on the table to ring.
The police officers around her looked at her suspiciously, all trying to guess her identity and who she was.
She was not wearing thick clothes, but she sat there with a normal expression, as if she didn't feel the cold.
"This comrade..."
Just as the police approached, the phone on the table rang.
Jiang Tang took a look at the number and picked up the phone immediately.
Lu Changzheng's trembling voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is it Tangtang?"
Even if you don't see the person, you can still feel how cautious they are from their expression when they speak.
I was afraid this was just a dream.
Jiang Tang's eyes became sore.
"It's me."
She raised her hand to wipe her cheek, "I'm sorry, Lu Changzheng, I didn't realize so much time had passed..."
She really didn't know that one day over there is one year over here.
If she had known, she would not have stayed for three days.
Jiang Tang felt very guilty.
Tears fell down.
Lu Changzheng on the other end of the phone choked up as well. He held the phone tightly in his hand and paused for a long moment before softly saying, "It's okay."
"I'm glad you're back."
After that, he asked where Jiang Tang was and he came to pick her up.
When this was mentioned, the girl who had just been feeling wronged and guilty immediately became anxious.
"Well, please come quickly. I don't have a letter of introduction. I'm in the Public Security Bureau here."
"Okay, give the phone to their leader."
Lu Changzheng spoke.
Jiang Tang nodded and looked at the people around him, "Who is the leader here?"
"My husband said he wanted to talk to you."
A soft voice came through the phone and reached Lu Changzheng's ears.
Lu Changzheng's eyebrows softened, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
The young soldier in the communication room of the family compound had just been transferred here. He had seen Lu Changzheng many times and had heard the legend of this youngest commander in the entire army.
But he had never seen the leader like this before.
How to describe it?
Oh, yes, it’s like the poem we learned before.
Suddenly, a spring breeze came, and thousands of pear trees blossomed!
This young leader, who rarely smiles, was like spring after the snow melted after receiving this call.
