Chapter 183: Getting the Opportunity to Visit the Capital
After Mother Wang left, everyone's life returned to normal.
Wang Xinxin also gets along better with the Chen family.
Su Tang returned to work in the hospital. Occasionally, when she thought of the contents of the book, she almost thought it was a dream.
It was true that Zhou Rui never appeared again, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
That day, Su Tang had just gotten off work from the hospital and was about to go see Xiao Cheng'an when she saw Lu's father coming over with a letter.
"Tangtang, there's good news. Lu Xiao sent me a letter saying there's an opportunity for family members to visit relatives in the army, and he's applied for you."
Because it is a confidential place, Lu Xiao cannot leave for the time being, but the army also knows that they are thinking about their families.
I specifically applied for an opportunity to visit my relatives.
Although I can only see you for one day, it can ease the pain of missing you.
When Su Tang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Really?"
It has been nearly four months since Lu Xiao left home.
Of course she would miss Lu Xiao, but more than that, she was worried about him.
I was worried about whether he could adapt to life in Beijing, whether he was tired from training, and whether he was eating well.
Also, when can he come home?
By leaving the Northwest, Lu Xiao can get better promotion opportunities, but in the future, they will be apart more often than together.
"Of course it's true. It would be nice to go and see it. You haven't been to the capital yet, right? Go and take a look."
Dad Lu said this with a smile, and Su Tang nodded in agreement.
She returned to the hospital and asked for leave from her boss. When the department director heard that she was going to visit relatives, he approved it readily and gave her some advice with a smile.
"Reunite with Lu Xiao. It's not easy for you two. Don't worry about the hospital."
After thanking the director, Su Tang went home.
Next is packing.
Su Tang picked out a few clothes that Lu Xiao usually wore at home, brought some of his favorite dried meat and pickles, and even stuffed a recent photo of Xiao Cheng'an into the bag.
This was taken by Su Tang during the full moon banquet.
It was just so that Lu Xiao could see the child when he returned home.
Before leaving, she talked to the two elderly people.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to visit Lu Xiao tomorrow. It's just for one day and I'll be back soon."
As she spoke, she held little Cheng'an in her arms and said, "I'll need your help in taking care of the child."
Mother Su nodded immediately: "Don't worry, leave the child to us. It's not easy for Lu Xiao to be alone over there. You two should have a good talk."
Father Su also agreed: "Yes, it's not easy to see each other, don't worry about the family."
When Mother Lu heard the news about her son, her eyes turned red.
"Finally, we can see each other...Tangtang, tell him not to worry about home and just work hard."
"I know, Mom."
Father Lu held little Cheng'an in his arms and said solemnly, "Be careful on the road. Don't panic when you get there. The army has its own rules. Just follow the instructions."
"Don't worry about anything."
How could these four old people not take care of a little kid like Cheng'an?
Little Cheng'an seemed to know that his mother was going on a long journey, and he grabbed Su Tang's collar with his little hands and refused to let go.
Su Tang's heart softened and she kissed her son's forehead.
"Be good, An An. Mommy will go find Daddy and will be back soon."
Little Cheng'an opened his big eyes and looked at Su Tang.
It is said that the only thing that can tie a mother down is her child. Su Tang looked at Cheng An and felt very reluctant to let him go.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Su Tang went out with her bag.
After traveling a long way, taking a bus and then a green train, it rattled on and on for nearly five or six days before finally arriving at the military base where Lu Xiao was stationed.
Fortunately, the speed of trains is much faster than before, not so slow. Otherwise, she felt that she would have to walk for eight or nine days to complete this journey.
After strict registration and inspection, a young soldier led her inside.
"Sister-in-law, Lu Tuan is coming back from training. Please wait for him in the guesthouse first."
"Thank you, comrade."
Su Tang nodded, his heart beating faster and faster.
I don’t know why. We haven’t seen each other for just a few months, so why am I getting nervous?
Just like her first day in the Northwest, her heart was pounding.
The room in the guesthouse was simple and clean. She had just put her luggage away when she heard familiar footsteps outside the door.
Step by step, solid and powerful.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
The moment the door was pushed open, Su Tang raised his eyes and met those deep, dark eyes.
Lu Xiao was wearing a training uniform, his face was covered with sweat and dust, but he still stood as tall as a pine tree.
He froze at the door, as if he hadn't expected her to arrive. His eyes softened instantly: "Tangtang."
Su Tang's nose felt sore and she called out, "Lu Xiao."
He strode in and pulled her into his arms.
The familiar body temperature and breath hit Su Tang in the face, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Don't cry."
Lu Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, and his fingers gently brushed the corners of her eyes: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
There's nothing wrong with it except being a little tired and hard.
And here, he did learn a lot.
Su Tang buried her face in his chest and said in a low voice, "I miss you."
He hugged her tighter, rubbing his chin against the top of her head: "I miss you too, very much."
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, no one spoke.
Four months of longing finally found an outlet at this moment.
Later, Lu Xiao went to get some water to wash his face, and Su Tang quickly took out the things he had brought.
"I brought you clothes and food."
He watched her busying around, with a smile on his face all the time.
When she came closer, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit beside him.
"There's no rush for these."
He looked into her eyes and lowered his voice: "Let me take a good look at you first."
Su Tang's ears felt hot and she didn't avoid his gaze.
Lu Xiao gently stroked her eyebrows, cheeks, and finally stopped at the corner of her mouth.
The atmosphere became silently ambiguous.
His fingertips were rough and warm, and every touch made her heart beat faster.
"How is little Cheng'an?"
He asked in a hoarse voice.
"He can't speak yet, but when you get back, he'll be able to call me daddy."
Su Tang smiled and replied, "Next time you go back, he will definitely jump on you and yell."
Lu Xiao's eyes softened: "Thank you for your hard work."
She shook her head: "It's not hard."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
It was a restrained and gentle kiss, but it made both of them tremble slightly.
"I've requested to have dinner with you at the guesthouse tonight. I don't have any tasks until tomorrow night."
He whispered, actually wanting to tell her that they could stay together for this day.
Su Tang raised his eyes: "Is it only such a short time?"
"Um."
He rubbed his thumb over her wrist. "So there's no time to waste."
It was getting dark outside the window and the lights inside the house were dim.
Two people who had been separated for several months finally hugged each other tightly at this moment, as if they wanted to make up for the missed time bit by bit.
At some point, it started to rain outside.
It was a small drizzle, but it turned into rhythmic drumbeats, beating on the hearts of the two people.
