The family had a hot breakfast, and Qingqing was a chirping little sparrow, and the dinner table could not be quiet with her around.
She wanted to know what her father had done in the past few months, so He Linyuan told her everything he could.
Only then did Song Li realize the danger of his mission.
This era was not as peaceful as later generations. Borders were often invaded by enemy countries, and soldiers really had to go to the battlefield.
In the original book, He Linyuan's loss because the original owner retired from the army to do business was not only his loss, but also the loss of the country.
Thinking of this, Song Li felt that she shouldn't delay him.
"When are we leaving?"
He Linyuan paused while eating noodles, he could clearly understand what Song Li meant.
It was he who initiated the divorce in the first place, and now he is shooting himself in the foot.
"After completing this mission, I have a two-week vacation, and the troops in Heilongjiang Province need support, so the organization sent me to garrison here for three months."
So he won't leave in the short term.
Song Li was confused. What did He Linyuan mean? Did he not want to divorce?
As if seeing Song Li's doubts, He Linyuan sent the two children away and talked to her frankly.
"The two children are still young and they need their mother. It would not be good for them if they were suddenly separated."
Song Li agreed that if the original owner had not abused the children, He Linyuan would not have thought of bringing the two children with him to the army.
"Then you can let them all follow me after the divorce. If you want to see them, just come during the holidays. I won't stop you."
As expected of a mother and son, they even have the same ideas. He Linyuan felt a lump in his chest and blurted out the words in his mind.
"Comrade Song Li, I don't want to divorce you."
"Ah?" This time Song Li was really shocked.
Didn't we discuss the divorce a long time ago? Why did He Linyuan suddenly change his mind?
"If I'm worried about my children, I can visit them often."
In the future, transportation will become more and more developed and distance will not be a problem.
"Of course, if you remarry in the future and don't want to see me, you can also send the child to Daxingtun."
Song Li thought of everything, but it made He Linyuan even more depressed.
"There won't be anyone else... Song Li, I want to live a good life with you."
In the past three months, he thought of her almost every day, missed her gentle smile, and missed the meals she cooked. Now, when he returned home and ate the hot noodles she cooked, He Linyuan felt alive.
He didn't want to be separated from Song Li.
"Do you like me?"
Song Li was surprised for a moment and then she regained her composure. She has always been a straightforward person and would ask directly if she couldn't figure something out.
He Linyuan blushed and felt nervous and helpless for the first time. He took a moment to organize his words before speaking.
"I don't know what love is, but if I can eat the meals you cook every day and see your two children, I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it."
Huh! Song Li snorted in her heart, thinking that he treated her as his own cook.
He Linyuan didn't understand why Song Li's face became even uglier after he spoke his true feelings. His heart was pounding and he was even more nervous than the first time he went to the battlefield.
"It's okay not to divorce, but you have to promise me three things."
Song Li didn't have too many expectations for this straight man. Most people in this era get married through blind dates, so there is not much love. At least He Linyuan looks good to her, and he is good to her two children. She can't bear to leave her two children, so she might as well give it a try with him.
"You say." He Linyuan sat up straight and looked at her without blinking.
"First, I make all the decisions about family matters. You are not allowed to stop me."
She will start her business after the New Year. It will be inconvenient for He Linyuan to be at home, so Song Li has to set the rules first.
He Linyuan nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
"Second, you must discuss important matters with me and are not allowed to make decisions on your own."
This is a book, and they are all cannon fodder and villains. Song Li is afraid that the plot that has been twisted with great difficulty will go back to the beginning.
"good."
"Third, you are not allowed to have affairs outside. You know my temper. I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. I can accept divorce, but I cannot accept betrayal."
"No!" He Linyuan tightened his jaw, "I won't have affairs, and I won't get divorced!"
He has chosen Song Li, and she will be his only one from now on.
"Look at your performance. It's useless to say it."
Song Li's face turned red when she saw his deep gaze, and she quickly looked away.
After the two of them talked it out, their interactions became more ambiguous.
Today is New Year's Eve, and every household is preparing to make dumplings and have the New Year's Eve dinner.
In previous years, the original owner did no work. She took He Linyuan's allowance and went to the county town to eat in a restaurant, leaving He Linyuan and the two children at home to eat cold meals.
But this year Song Li prepared a lot of things, including dozens of kilograms of pork, which was cooked and pickled with salt and could be eaten for a year.
Moreover, the marinated meat is more fragrant, and it is best eaten with rice when stir-fried with potatoes and garlic sprouts.
There were also fish sent by the Song Chenglin brothers. Song Li planned to braise two and sweet and sour two, and fry the rest into fish pieces and stew them.
In the kitchen, He Linyuan sat next to Song Li and made dumplings with her. They were so close that Song Li could even smell the faint scent of pine smoke on him. She silently moved to the side.
With beauty in front of you, it takes some determination to control yourself.
He Linyuan was confused at first, but when he saw his wife's red ears, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Although he didn't care about appearance, he knew that he had a good look. His young wife had forced him to marry her because she was attracted by his face.
Thinking of that night, He Linyuan's heart was also a little hot, and his eyes looked at Song Li with a dark look.
After working for most of the day, it was already dark outside. Some people in the village were setting off firecrackers, and the crackling sound symbolized the arrival of the new year.
After cooking, Song Li took out a string of fireworks and asked He Linyuan to light it. This year was a new year for them, so they should celebrate it properly.
The two children hid under the eaves to watch the fun. Mingze was afraid that his sister would be scared, so he covered her ears considerately. Amid the sound of firecrackers, the whole family had genuine smiles on their faces.
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the two children fell asleep because they were too sleepy. Qingqing leaned forward in her sleep, still thinking about her New Year's money. Song Li kissed her chubby little face and said, "Qingqing, you will see it when you wake up. Go to sleep quickly."
After coaxing the two children, the couple sat back at the dining table. Song Li took out a jar of wine from the cabinet and shook it towards He Linyuan, "Have a drink?"
How can we celebrate the New Year without wine? Besides, the alcohol content of wild wine is not high, so Song Li just drinks it as a beverage.
It was the first time that the couple sat together so peacefully. He Linyuan talked about the army, and Song Li talked about her plans for the new year. She had a lot of money, just enough to build a house. Her two children were of school age, and she also had to choose a kindergarten carefully.
The two of them drank and chatted, and before they knew it, the jar of wine was empty.
Wild wine is indeed not very strong, but you will still get drunk if you drink too much.
Under the dim light, Song Li squinted her eyes and looked at the man opposite her, her eyes shimmering with drunkenness.
"He Linyuan, we are husband and wife, right?"
She was so drunk that she only vaguely saw the man nod.
"Can I kiss you then?"
