Chapter 363 War and Farewell
This time, Qin Huayun did not have the aggressive aura as last time, but seemed much gentler instead.
She stood at the door, smiled faintly at Cheng Wanying, and said, "I'm here to see Huai Zheng. Dr. William has already arrived in Beijing City, and the surgery must be arranged in advance. I'm here to help him contact him, and by the way... see him."
Cheng Wanying couldn't refuse her entry, so she had to step aside to let her in.
In the living room, Lu Huaizheng was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and his eyes paused slightly.
Qin Huayun stood there. Time had left fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but the familiar pride between her eyebrows had not diminished in the slightest.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the past memories came flooding back.
However, the two of them tacitly agreed not to bring it up again, as if the grudges had long been diluted by time, leaving only a thin layer of tacit silence.
Qin Huayun spoke first, her tone calm: "Dr. William is here, the surgery needs to be arranged as soon as possible, I'll contact him first and then take you to see him."
Lu Huaizheng put down the newspaper and frowned slightly: "I told you before, no need, I'll let a doctor in China do it. You don't have to worry about this!"
Qin Huayun was stunned, then sneered: "You are still so stubborn that you don't even take your life seriously?"
"I'm not a person who worships foreign things." Lu Huaizheng said lightly.
"Worshiping foreigners?" Qin Huayun laughed angrily and shook her head. "Your son Lu Chen asked someone to find him for half a year, and your daughter-in-law promised to borrow countless favors to invite William. You just send him away with a sentence of 'not worshipping foreigners'? Fine, then you might as well not even see your grandson."
Lu Huaizheng's eyebrows jumped: "What grandson?"
Qin Huayun raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Oh, you don't know yet? Xu Nuo is pregnant, and you are going to be a grandfather."
Lu Huaizheng was stunned, and the newspaper in his hand slipped silently.
Qin Huayun took the opportunity to add, "If you don't listen and don't do the surgery, when your grandson is born, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see him, let alone hold him."
Lu Huai stared at Qin Huayun suspiciously, thinking she was joking: "Are you kidding me?"
Qin Huayun snorted, with a bit of disdain in her eyes: "Why would I lie to you? Why didn't Xu Nuo tell you?"
Cheng Wanying was standing aside. When she heard this, she looked up suddenly, her eyes instantly filled with surprise: "Really?!"
She didn't bother to ask more questions, and immediately picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Chen's unit: "I'll call and find out!"
After the call was connected, Lu Chen's voice came from the receiver with a faint smile: "Mom, it's true."
Cheng Wanying's eyes were hot with joy, but she couldn't help complaining: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? Your father and I have been looking forward to it every day, but you kept it a secret!"
After she finished speaking, she called Lu Huaizheng over to answer the phone: "Hurry, talk to your son."
Lu Huaizheng took the phone and said sternly, "You are becoming more and more unreliable. How dare you hide something like this?"
Lu Chen laughed softly, his tone helpless: "Dad, it's what Xu Nuo meant. She said she would tell the family after things stabilize in three months."
Although Lu Huaizheng complained, he couldn't help but raise his lips, and repeatedly reminded: "Take good care of her, don't let her get tired, buy her whatever she wants to eat, don't treat her badly!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Huaizheng couldn't hide the smile on his face. He looked a few years younger and even his eyes were softer.
Seeing this, Qin Huayun added at the right time: "If you do the surgery now, you will be able to enjoy the happiness of holding your grandson in your arms in ten months."
Lu Huaizheng glanced at her and finally relented: "Okay, I'll listen to you and go see William."
…
Xu Nuo was pregnant. She would vomit as soon as she opened her eyes every day. Within a few days, her face turned pale.
Midsummer is coming, and she thought this summer would be very sad, so she was mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, a bolt from the blue struck, making the already unbearable summer even more unbearable.
One day in late May, Xu Nuo was taking a weekend break at home, but Lu Chen suddenly returned home in a hurry not long after going to work.
Xu Nuo thought he had forgotten something and came back to get it, but unexpectedly, he brought some shocking news.
"Why are you back at this time? Did you forget something?"
There were beads of sweat on Lu Chen's forehead, his expression was solemn, and his lips were tightly pursed.
"The border war has escalated. I have been selected to go to the front line."
Xu Nuo's ears buzzed and his heart sank deeply into the bottomless abyss.
The circles around my eyes instantly turned red, and tears blurred my vision in an instant.
She suspected that she had heard it wrong. In her impression, war was always a distant word in the news. How could it suddenly break into her life?
"Is it okay not to go?" After a long while, she heard her own voice.
"It is a soldier's duty to obey orders." Lu Chen said in a deep voice, "Please be considerate."
Xu Nuo could understand, and must understand, but she just couldn't accept it psychologically.
It was also the first time that Lu Chen saw his wife cry. Two lines of tears flowed down without any warning. He felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
When the country is in trouble, he must go.
He is a soldier and belongs to the country first, and to his wife secondarily.
Xu Nuo wiped away her tears and said, "When are you leaving? I'll help you pack your luggage."
Lu Chen took a step forward and held her cold hand: "I'm leaving soon. I came back to say goodbye to you before I leave."
Xu Nuo's tears burst out like a dam and kept rolling down.
Lu Chen felt pain in his chest and even breathing became difficult.
He hugged Xu Nuo tightly in his arms: "Nunuo, take care of yourself and the child, and wait for me to come back."
Xu Nuo tried hard to suppress her emotions. She was afraid that Lu Chen would worry about her and not be able to focus on the battle, so she wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "I will. When you return triumphantly, I will punish you by making you cook for me every day!"
Lu Chen's lips curled slightly, he lowered his head and kissed Xu Nuo on the forehead: "Nunuo, goodbye!"
Looking at Lu Chen's leaving back, Xu Nuo's eyes were blurred with tears again.
When she came to her senses, Lu Chen had already walked out the door.
She hurriedly chased after him and shouted to Lu Chen: "Lu Chen, take care of yourself. You have a family and children, you must come back safely!"
Lu Chen stiffened slightly when he heard this, but he did not turn back.
It was not until he turned a corner that he looked back. The corners of the man's eyes were red and there was a faint flash of tears.
When I returned to the troops, they were getting ready to set off.
Lu Chen stood under the car and talked to Liao Qing: "I'm going to go. You, sister-in-law, and Liao Hong, please help take care of my family."
"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of you. Don't worry, just fight with peace of mind and we will wait for your triumphant return!"
"Thanks."
Lu Chen took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Liao Qing: "Here is the key to my desk. I left a letter inside. If one day I..."
Liao Qing's face changed color when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, that day will never come."
"Listen to me." Lu Chen took a deep breath and continued, "If there comes a day like that, please pass this letter to Xu Nuo!"
Liao Qing's nose was sore and he took the envelope: "Okay, I will!"
