Just when Xu Jianguo inadvertently cast his gaze at the acquaintance, the acquaintance also happened to see Xu Jianguo. The expression on his face was suddenly stunned, and a hint of surprise and unexpectedness flashed in his eyes.
Because it was a weekday, there were not many pedestrians on the street, so the two people in cadre military uniforms stood out among the black, gray and blue crowd, just like two bright stars in the night sky. It was impossible to pretend not to see them.
Seeing that the man also saw him, Xu Jianguo smiled and led Wen Sitian and the five little ones towards him.
When he came closer, the man spoke first, "Xu Jianguo!" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice, as if he didn't expect to meet Xu Jianguo here.
"Director Wang, long time no see. Why did you come to Bingcheng?" Xu Jianguo said with a warm smile on his face.
This person was none other than Wang Dawei, director of the Binhai Confidentiality Department of the Fengzhou Military Region, who was responsible for capturing Cao Dejiang, deputy chief engineer of the Jingzhou Military Research Institute, at the Binhai base.
"Well, I've been transferred from Binhai to the Military Region's Confidentiality Department. I came to Bingcheng this time to take care of some personal matters. Aren't you at the Dawali base? Why are you in Bingcheng too?" Wang Dawei said, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue, and his brows slightly furrowed when he spoke, which made Xu Jianguo guess that he might have encountered some trouble.
However, Xu Jianguo did not ask. After all, it was someone else's private matter. Besides, the relationship between the two was not that deep. They had only met a few times at the Binhai Base.
"Oh, I just came back from a mission some time ago. The commander gave me a few days off, and I was thinking of bringing my wife and children to visit Ice City!" Xu Jianguo said easily.
"I see. Okay then, I won't disturb your family anymore. I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first!" Wang Dawei said with a hint of apology on his face, as if he felt that he had wasted Xu Jianguo's family's time.
"Okay, goodbye!" Xu Jianguo smiled and waved goodbye.
"Goodbye!" Wang Dawei nodded to Wen Sitian and left in a hurry.
Xu Jianguo did not pay too much attention to this little episode. He felt that it was just a small part of life and there was no need to dwell on it too much.
The family continued to walk slowly towards the guesthouse, their figures looking particularly warm in the winter sunshine.
On the way, Xu Jianguo enthusiastically took Wen Sitian and the five little ones to buy Madiel ice cream.
Originally, Wen Sitian was worried that the children would get diarrhea if they ate ice cream in such a cold weather, so she initially disagreed with Xu Jianguo buying it for them.
But considering that it was noon, the temperature was slightly higher than in the morning and evening, and with the three girls, Erya, Funniu and Lele, acting coquettishly and flattering her, Wen Sitian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and finally had no choice but to agree.
But after buying the ice cream, Xu Jianguo received several eye rolls from her. There was a hint of anger in those eyes, but more of it was love for the children.
The five little ones walked on the street, each holding a Madiel ice cream, eating as they walked. The rich milky aroma filled the air, winning praise from everyone.
Especially the girl Lele, holding an ice cream in her right hand and being led by Funiu with her left hand, she walked with her little belly sticking out as if she didn't recognize anyone. She looked so cute that the couple who followed behind her laughed.
Xu Jianguo took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and took out a digital camera from the space to record this scene as a video, his eyes full of cherishment for this moment.
He thought that when the little girl grew up, he would show it to her, and it would definitely be a beautiful memory.
After returning to the guesthouse, everyone went to Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian's room. The reason he had booked a six-person room for the children that morning was to avoid arousing suspicion.
After locking the door, Xu Jianguo led his family back to the space.
While Wen Sitian was taking the five little ones to wash their hands, Xu Jianguo asked Du Yu to make some honey ginger tea with the water from the space well.
After all, it is a very cold day, so it is better for children to drink something to warm their stomachs and drive away the cold after eating ice cream.
Now Lele is the only one in the family who has not taken the genetic medicine. Xu Jianguo plans to wait until she is a little older before giving her the medicine.
Because everyone got up early in the morning, after drinking honey ginger tea, Xu Jianguo sent the five little ones back to their room to sleep, and he and Wen Sitian also returned to their bedrooms, took off their coats and got into bed.
As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage. The couple had been separated for more than half a month and missed each other very much, so after a while, they played a harmonious and resonant song together in the room.
An hour later...
Xu Jianguo looked at Wen Sitian who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and his heart felt extremely at ease and peaceful.
His eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if the whole world only had the two of them. He lowered his head and kissed Wen Sitian lightly, then slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
…
At this time in Jingzhou, three days had passed since Xu Jianguo left.
The patient he cured returned to work after three days of rest.
Although she felt good after recovering, there was no happy expression on her face. Instead, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed some anger and depression. Her mood seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, making it unpredictable.
No one knows why, only Feng Zheng, who knows her best, seems to be able to guess something.
