"Hey, the girl in front, wait a moment."
Xia Qiu was walking and kicking stones. When she reached the village entrance, she suddenly heard a crisp sound behind her. She looked around and found that she was the only one there.
Xia Qiu turned around in confusion.
A pretty girl with an unfamiliar face came over, carrying a bag in her hand. She had short, neat hair and two shallow dimples when she smiled, making her look very approachable.
"You called me?" Xia Qiu asked in confusion.
"Yes, yes, yes." The girl nodded quickly. She looked at Xia Qiu and asked, "Hello, I'm here to look for someone. Do you know how to get to the Su family?"
"Su family?" Xia Qiu was stunned. "Which Su family?"
"Su Congwen's house."
Xia Qiu widened his eyes. It really was the Qingyun family.
"Are you from Brother Wen..." Xia Qiu asked cautiously. She didn't dare to bring a stranger to Qingyun's house casually.
"I'm..." The girl suddenly felt a little shy, "My name is Chen Xiaoyu, I'm from Yun Province, and I'm Su Congwen's... friend."
Classmate? Xia Qiu was puzzled. What kind of friend would come to visit on New Year's Day?
"This is my ID." Seeing that she was still skeptical, Chen Xiaoyu quickly took out her ID from her pocket and showed it to her.
Xia Qiu took it and took a look, a little surprised that this girl was a soldier.
There aren't many female soldiers these days. Xia Qiu dismissed his doubts and nodded, saying, "Come with me."
"Okay, thank you so much."
Chen Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. She had been on the bus for such a long time and had finally found her way here. She was exhausted.
Xia Qiu took her to the Su family and couldn't help asking Chen Xiaoyu on the way, "Are you Cong Wen's girlfriend?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a girl went to a boy's house. Xia Qiu could not think of any other possibility except that they were in a relationship. Moreover, the shy expression and tone of the girl named Chen Xiaoyu when she mentioned Brother Congwen made Xia Qiu confirm his guess.
"I'm not..." Chen Xiaoyu said this with a bit of frustration, then quickly raised her voice, "But I believe it will be soon."
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiaoyu with admiration.
I can't believe it, this girl is so brave to pursue love, she is really courageous.
Soon, she brought Chen Xiaoyu to the door of the Su family.
"Wait a moment, I'll knock on the door and tell them first." Xia Qiu said. She didn't want to bring anyone into the house directly.
"Okay, thank you so much." Chen Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly.
Xia Qiu knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" It was Wu Guixiang's voice. She was in the yard.
"Grandma Wu, I'm Xia Qiu. There's a girl here who said she's looking for Brother Congwen." Xia Qiu raised her voice and said.
"What?" Before Wu Guixiang could answer, Zhang Xinlan heard this and rushed out, "Where is the girl from Congwen?" Her tone was extremely excited.
"It's outside the door." Wu Guixiang said unhappily.
"I'll go take a look."
Zhang Xinlan hurriedly opened the gate and saw a beautiful stranger. She smiled brightly and said in a soft voice, "You're the one looking for our Congwen, right?"
"...Yes." Chen Xiaoyu was a little at a loss.
"This is Brother Wen's mother." Xia Qiu helped to introduce.
Su Congwen's mother, Chen Xiaoyu, became even more panicked and quickly introduced herself: "Hello, Auntie, I am Su Congwen's friend. My name is Chen Xiaoyu and I am from Yunnan Province."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, right?" Zhang Xinlan's tone was extremely happy. Judging from the girl's dress and speech, she knew she was a lady from a wealthy family. She was extremely happy. "Hurry up and come inside. It's cold outside. Let's talk inside."
"Okay... okay." Chen Xiaoyu nodded reservedly.
"Xiao Qiu, come in and sit down."
"Okay, auntie, excuse me for disturbing you." Xia Qiu followed in. It was obvious that there was going to be a good show, so she had to go in and take a look.
"Congwen! Congwen!" Zhang Xinlan started shouting before even entering the house.
Su Congwen, who was burning a fire inside, heard the sound and replied, "Mom, I'm here."
"Come out quickly."
Su Congwen put down the tongs in his hand and walked towards the door.
"Look who's here?" Su Congwen heard her mother say, "Look, Xiaoyu is here!"
Xiaoyu?
Su Congwen paused, looked up, and saw Chen Xiaoyu smiling and saying to him, "Su Congwen, I'm here to see you."
He was stunned. Seeing the person in front of him, he felt that it was a little unreal and he didn't know what expression to make.
"Congwen, are you crazy with joy?" Zhang Xinlan poked her son. "Xiaoyu, they came all the way from Yun Province to see you. Why don't you let them in?"
Chen Xiaoyu looked at Su Congwen, twisting her fingers, a little nervous.
Su Congwen looked at her intently for three seconds, then made way for her and said, "Come in."
The smile on Chen Xiaoyu's face suddenly became brighter, and she walked into the house happily.
Everyone was sitting in the room. As soon as Chen Xiaoyu came in, the Su family members all looked at her with curiosity.
Chen Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, but she bravely greeted everyone: "Hello, I'm Chen Xiaoyu, Su Congwen's friend."
"Hello, Xiaoyu."
"Hello, hello."
The family greeted each other warmly, curiosity overflowing in their eyes.
Su Congwu looked at Chen Xiaoyu and whispered to his wife, "Look, my brother is even more awesome than me. I used to bring my girlfriend to my house, but my brother's girlfriend came all the way to my house."
Wu Shuhui almost couldn't help laughing.
Su Congwen pursed his lips and said nothing. He just asked Chen Xiaoyu, "Are you hungry?"
"A little." Chen Xiaoyu was in a hurry to get here, and the food on the train wasn't very tasty, so she didn't eat much.
"Please sit down and I'll make you a bowl of noodles." Su Congwen said with a frown.
"good."
"Come, come, Xiaoyu, sit down quickly." Zhang Xinlan greeted her warmly. Since her son took the initiative to care about this girl, their relationship must be complicated.
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and sat down carefully.
"Xiaoyu, how old are you this year?" Zhang Xinlan asked first.
"22."
Zhang Xinlan calculated and said, "That's a few years younger than our Congwen." But it doesn't matter.
"Is your family in Yun Province? How many people are there?"
"Yes, in Chuncheng, Yunnan Province. There are five of us in our family: my grandparents, my parents and me." Chen Xiaoyu answered obediently.
"Oh, so what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a nurse."
"Nurse? Hello, nurse." Zhang Xinlan's eyes brightened. This is a good job.
Su Congwen was in the kitchen, hearing the questions and answers outside. He frowned and felt a little annoyed.
"Then how did you get to know Congwen from our family?" Zhang Xinlan continued to ask.
"I……"
"Eat quickly." Su Congwen placed a bowl of noodles in front of Chen Xiaoyu, interrupting her reply.
Chen Xiaoyu swallowed back the words she had learned on the battlefield.
