Beijing, Xu Jianzhong’s home.

It was the first time that Shen Xingchen was not at home for the New Year, and Xu Jianzhong was still a little uncomfortable.

However, Shen Xingchen called Xu Jianzhong before the New Year and told his uncle that he was married.

To be exact, I told Xu Jianzhong only after I got the marriage certificate with Mai Sui.

Originally, Shen Xingchen also planned to take Mai Sui back to Beijing to visit his uncle's family, but Mai Sui didn't have a holiday, so the plan had to be shelved.

Although Shen Xingchen talked a lot about Mai Sui's heroic deeds, Xu Jianzhong was still a little worried.

He was afraid that Shen Xingchen would only report good news and not bad news, or even lie to him directly.

So, he found Chen Chien who had returned home for the New Year and asked him about Shen Xingchen and Mai Sui.

Chen Chien didn't know whether out of jealousy or some other reason, but he deliberately said some ambiguous words.

He said that the villagers did call Mai Sui a fool behind her back, and that she often beat Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai at home.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mai Lao San is Mai Sui’s biological father. Isn’t it crazy for a daughter to beat her father?

Xu Jianzhong became more and more worried about Shen Xingchen.

So, instead of visiting relatives during the New Year, Xu Jianzhong immediately decided to go to Xiangxi County to find Shen Xingchen to see if he had been bullied.

After three days and two nights on the train, Xu Jianzhong and his son Xu Hao finally arrived at Suyang Railway Station.

Then take a bus from Suyang City to Xiangxi County, because there is no railway station in Xiangxi County.

The reason why I brought my son Xu Hao along was that if anything happened, having more people would be helpful.

Originally, Xu Jianzhong planned to quietly go to the Southeast Military Region to look for someone, with the main goal of taking the enemy by surprise, in order to see how Shen Xingchen was doing.

But....no car passed!

Not to mention the Chinese New Year, even on ordinary days only the military’s procurement vehicles can travel back and forth.

And not everyone can ride in the military vehicles if they want.

The key point is that Xu Jianzhong didn’t know him either.

Generally, strangers who want to go to the military area either drive themselves or walk.

It would take a long time to walk, and people who have never been there wouldn’t know the way.

So Xu Jianzhong could only call Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen had previously left Xu Jianzhong the phone number of a military region research institute.

At Shen Xingchen's current level, he doesn't have a separate office or a separate phone, but their large office has a phone.

That day, Shen Xingchen went to the research institute as usual to find Sheng Huainan to continue yesterday's research. When passing by the office, he heard the phone ringing inside.

He originally had no intention of going in and wanted to go directly to Sheng Huainan, but for some reason, Shen Xingchen seemed to have a premonition that the call was for him.

So he opened the door and went in to answer the phone, and sure enough, it was Xu Jianzhong calling.

This was the fifth call he had made, and no one had answered before.

"Xingchen, you finally answered the phone, otherwise I would have had to try to walk here by myself."

"Uncle!" Shen Xingchen was very surprised when he heard Xu Jianzhong's words, "Where are you now?"

"I'm at the post office in Xiangxi County."

"Okay, wait there, I'll pick you up right away."

Afterwards, Shen Xingchen borrowed a car from Sheng Huainan and took Xu Jianzhong and Xu Hao home.

Xu Jianzhong looked at the spacious and bright house, the bacon hanging on the kitchen beam, the rice in the rice jar, and even a few big grass carps in the water tank.

Life now seems to be no worse than when we were in the capital, and may even be better.

Especially Shen Xingchen's whole mental outlook, he looks energetic and full of vitality, not like someone who has been oppressed for a long time.

Instead, it looks like...it has been deeply moisturized.

In short, Xu Jianzhong had a good first impression when he arrived at the military region, and he could finally put his mind at ease.

However, he hasn't seen the wheat ears yet, so he can't jump to conclusions for the time being.

On the way back, Shen Xingchen had already asked his uncle the purpose of his trip.

Seeing that his uncle was looking around, he took him to his room and pointed to the photo frame on the wall and said:

"This is my wife Mai Sui. What do you think? She's not the fool that drools all day long as you think."

Xu Jianzhong was stunned when he saw the photo of wheat ears.

This person doesn't look like a fool at all; it's no exaggeration to say that he is a fairy.

The two people in the photo are leaning against each other, smiling, and they look like a perfect match!

Shen Xingchen took out Mai Sui's third-class merit medal from Mai Hongcai's room and showed it to his uncle.

He said proudly, "Uncle, this is the medal my wife won, a third-class individual merit. Here is also a certificate of honor.

The army has clearly written it in black and white, congratulations to Comrade Mai Sui for winning the third-class individual merit. There is absolutely no way it can be faked!

Not only that, the director of our institute particularly admires my wife and says that she is a genius that only appears once in a century!

There are some questions I don’t understand, so I have to ask my wife. My wife knows everything!

After the New Year, the army will award my wife a medal. This time it will not be a third-class merit, but a second-class merit.

Our director told me that the military district’s top brass has already held a meeting to discuss the matter.”

When Shen Xingchen talked about Mai Sui, he couldn't control himself and kept talking. His words were full of his deep love and admiration for Mai Sui.

Not to mention Xu Jianzhong, even the birds passing by in the sky could clearly feel the joy in Shen Xingchen's heart.

Xu Jianzhong had never seen Shen Xingchen like this before, and he was unable to react for a moment.

On the contrary, Xu Hao was very curious, so he asked: "Brother, what about sister-in-law? When will she come back?"

"The army is not on holiday. Your sister-in-law is training in the camp and won't be back until the evening."

In fact, I couldn’t come back at night because my wife missed me, so she sneaked back to see me.

My wife loves me so much!

I also want to love my wife more!

However, at night, something happened to Mai Sui and he did not come back.

Xu Jianzhong asked for the hundredth time: "When will Mai Sui come back? Isn't the training over yet? Why don't you go and ask?"

Shen Xingchen was afraid that his uncle would think too much, so he had to tell him the truth.

“In fact, they can’t go home at night because of their current training, and my wife usually sneaks back home.

I don’t know what happened today. No matter how late it was before, I should have been home by now.

However, I can’t go to the camp to ask, after all, sneaking back home is a violation of discipline.”

Xu Jianzhong: ...Is this possible? Can you still sneak away?

"Don't worry, uncle. Their leader knows about it. Although he can't say it openly, he has tacitly agreed to it."

Xu Jianzhong is becoming more and more confused about his nephew's wife, who is always treated specially in the army.

Mai Sui didn't go home that night. Shen Xingchen was worried about her the whole night and couldn't sleep.

But he knew that Mai Sui was probably tripped up by the training and couldn't get away, not that something had happened.

Because if something happened, Qi Chuanqing would definitely come to inform him.

So, apart from being a little uncomfortable with staying alone in an empty room, Shen Xingchen was not worried.
