Today is moving day.
The whole family felt sorry that Song Qingyun was not at home...
Xia Weian asked Han Chengwu and Li Zhao to go to the state-owned restaurant and pack up several dishes.
He went into the kitchen and cooked a few more dishes.
The first dinner after moving was quite rich.
After dinner.
Everyone was tired and went back to their rooms early to rest.
After Xia Ruokui, Han Chengwu and the others had all returned to the house, the two of them quietly went outside to talk.
Han Chengwu is leaving tomorrow.
At first, Xia Ruokui didn't think it was a big deal. At most, they could write letters and visit each other during the holidays.
But, for some reason, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable tonight.
The two men stood facing each other under the withered grape trellis in the front yard.
No one spoke.
The evening breeze is a bit cold.
"you……"
"you……"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
"Then I'll go first." Han Chengwu mustered up the courage to hold Xia Ruokui's hand, "I'll write you a letter."
"Yeah." Xia Ruokui lowered her head, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if something very important was about to be taken away.
I want to stay but I can't.
I want to let go but it's so uncomfortable.
I feel like crying.
"Xiao Kui..." Han Chengwu called softly, "I, I..."
Han Chengwu wanted to say that he would miss her, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth.
Even young people these days are very reserved in expressing their emotions.
"Brother Han, when you go back, if you have a mission, be careful and don't get hurt."
"Well, I will. You work so hard, so I will also work hard to become better."
Xia Ruokui looked up at Han Chengwu, and the little girl's eyes were red.
Han Chengwu mustered up his courage and gently held her in his arms.
Time flows so quietly...
the next day.
Han Chengwu and Li Zhao packed their things early in the morning.
"Brother, Brother Han, do you have to leave?" Xia Suihe hugged Li Zhao's thighs, her big eyes filled with tears.
Li Zhao felt his heart melt. If things really didn't work out, how about he be transferred to this military region?
His whole family is here, and he really doesn't want to leave.
Li Zhao picked up Xia Suihe and said, "Suihe, big brother doesn't want to leave either. What should we do?"
"Then let's not leave. Let's stay at home and I will support you!" Xia Suihe said crisply, hugging Li Zhao's neck.
Li Zhao chuckled. The originally sad atmosphere was relieved by Xia Suihe's childish words.
"Suihe, your eldest brother is a soldier and has a mission. During your winter and summer vacations, if your parents are free, they can take you to see them."
"Or, they can come back when they have time."
Xia Weian walked forward and patted Xia Suihe gently.
Xia Suihe grumbled, "But I can't bear to leave my big brother."
"Good boy." Li Zhao rubbed Xia Suihe's head. "Brother, you must actively carry out your mission and get more vacation time."
"Brother will write to you."
"Well, then it's a deal. You have to write more, as much as Brother Lulu wrote to Fifth Sister." Xia Suihe said.
Li Zhao: Lulu seems to write letters every day...
"Brother, your handwriting must be as beautiful as Brother Lulu's." Xia Suihe continued.
Li Zhao: It’s not easy to turn my handwriting, which is a bit awkward, into something that can be used to write couplets and make money...
"Brother, are you okay?" Xia Huihe called out.
"OK."
Li Zhao: The principles are gone.
I have to buy two more pens and copybooks when I get home, and yes, a notebook.
He is not too old, so it’s not too late for him to work hard now... right?
"I have prepared things for my elder brother and Brother Han. You can take them." Xia Suihe jumped off Li Zhao, ran back to her room, and took out two bags.
One per person.
Sui Chengxiao: Mine, all made from my very expensive herbs.
"This is for fever, this is for injury, this is for external use, this is..." Xia Suihe instructed seriously.
Li Zhao felt a lump in his throat. It was over. He wanted to cry.
Han Chengwu also felt a lump in his throat.
"I have a gift too." Xia Zhihuan took two notebooks, one for each of them.
Li Zhao opened it and saw a picture of them and their home.
"Zhihuan draws really well."
"That one by Brother Han, and I also have the one by Sister Hua." Xia Zhihuan looked up.
Han Chengwu tightened his grip on the sketchbook, "Thank you, Zhihuan."
Xia Changle and the others also prepared gifts, including food, drinks and daily necessities, and packed a big bag.
It's almost time for Han Chengwu and Li Zhao to set off.
Xia Weian didn't let all the children go with him because there were too many people at the train station and it might be easy for something to go wrong.
He only brought Xia Ruokui.
Xia Weian glanced at Han Chengwu, pulled Li Zhao, and the two of them strode ahead.
Xia Ruokui and Han Chengwu were both stunned. They didn't expect Xia Weian to give them space to talk alone.
Sometimes it’s very strange. I have a lot to say, but when the time comes, I can’t say a word.
Han Chengwu just slowed down his pace, hoping that this road would be longer and longer...
Xia Ruokui followed Han Chengwu quietly and made a decision silently in her heart.
TRAIN STATION.
When they arrived, the train was about to arrive in half an hour.
Xia Weian was still talking to Li Zhao, and he sat a little further away from Han Chengwu and Xia Ruokui.
He was afraid that they would feel embarrassed to talk if they were too close.
"Brother Han." Xia Ruokui called softly.
Her voice was very low and the train station was extremely noisy, but Han Chengwu still heard her voice immediately.
"I'm listening."
"Wait for me for two years. I will work hard to skip a grade. After I graduate from high school, I will go to the military district to find a job." Xia Ruokui looked at Han Chengwu, her beautiful eyes full of determination.
"Ruokui..." The light in Han Chengwu's eyes was particularly bright. His heart was beating fast and his breathing was a little difficult.
Their eyes met, and finally they smiled at each other.
The two people's hands were tightly clasped together under the cover of the backpack...
The train arrives at the station.
People rushed into the station. Han Chengwu carried the bag in one hand and protected Xia Ruokui with the other, and brought her to Xia Weian.
"Uncle San, don't go in. There are too many people."
"You guys go in, we'll just watch from a distance." Xia Weian said, he moved sideways to protect Xia Ruokui to prevent the crowd from bumping into her.
Han Chengwu and Li Zhao nodded.
"Dad, let's go." Li Zhao shouted.
"Third Uncle, take care."
Xia Weian waved.
The two people strode forward, their eyes were red, the warmth of home really made them nostalgic.
"Chengwu, Xiaozhao!"
A familiar female voice sounded, and Han Chengwu and Li Zhao turned around at the same time.
Song Qingyun strode over. Her clothes were slightly wrinkled and she looked thinner.
"mother!"
"Third Aunt!"
The two of them hurried over.
Song Qingyun struggled through the crowd, stood in front of the two men, and took a deep breath.
"Fortunately, we made it in time."
