After giving him a warning look, Xiao Yuheng began to take care of his wife and children's meals.
Their attentiveness was truly remarkable.
"The regimental commander is like a completely different person in front of his wife."
"Do you even need to tell me? Look how beautiful your sister-in-law is. She even gave birth to twins for the regimental commander. Anyone would have done the same thing in her situation as the regimental commander. I certainly would have."
"I can too."
As the two adults and three children sat down to eat, whispers rippled through the room, all expressing envy towards Xiao Yuheng.
"Uncle Xiao, can I go watch the other uncles and brothers train later?"
Xiao Yuheng looked at the chubby boy in front of him, who had become quite thin, and asked, "Do you really want to join the army when you grow up?"
Big Fatty nodded, "Yes!"
"Then you'd better start exercising when you have free time, otherwise even running will be difficult."
The fat man looked at his own fleshy body with embarrassment and said, "I know."
Then she offered the meat in the bowl to Erbao, saying, "Erbao, here's the meat. I'll just eat some vegetables."
Erbao: ...Are you going to abandon me and lose weight all by yourself?
"No way, we'll gain weight together or lose weight together. Besides, it doesn't matter if we're fat or thin, we can just eat this and then start dieting."
Erbao himself craves meat, but he would never let Da Pang leave him behind and be handsome on his own.
Big Fatty also craved meat, and upon hearing this, he said with a hint of doubt, "Eat it all before you start dieting?"
Erbao immediately picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "Eat this before you start dieting. This is military meat. You really don't want to eat it?"
What could the fat man say? He simply ate two bites of meat as a sign of respect.
After finishing her meal, she looked at Xiao Yuheng sheepishly and said, "Uncle Xiao, I'll start dieting after I finish eating."
These are his own children, not his soldiers, so Xiao Yuheng naturally said it was no problem.
The group spent the weekend in the family compound, and Xiao Yuheng distributed all the things they brought. Now, when people talked about Gu An'an, very few had anything bad to say about her.
When are you leaving?
"The 11th of next month."
They had less than a month to handle all the formalities and arrange things at home.
"What should I do? I'm already feeling reluctant to leave you even before you've gone."
Since they met, when have they ever been apart for so long? Not to mention Xiao Yuheng, even Gu An'an is a little unaccustomed to it.
"Should I tell Teacher Wu I'm not going?"
That was obviously a joke.
"No need, you should focus on your studies. It's only a year, I can get through it."
A good man should never hold his wife back.
The time spent together was always too short, and soon it was time for Gu An'an to leave. Not to mention the adults, the two little ones cried, not in a loud wail, but in a soft, sobbing voice that was heartbreaking to hear.
"Mom, you must remember us."
"Yes, we can forget everyone else but us. No foreign kids are as cute as my sister and me. You can't forget your own children when you see foreign kids."
Although the two children are usually more mature than other kids, they are no exception when it comes to this kind of thing; their hearts and minds are filled with thoughts of their mother.
"Okay, you said you're my biological child, how could your mother forget you?"
After calming the two children down, Gu An'an turned her attention to Xiao Yuheng.
"Take good care of yourself at home."
"I know, you're the same way. You must be careful when you're out and about. It's not like home, you know?"
The family lingered for a long time, reluctant to part. Just before boarding, Teacher Wu came over to call them, saying, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Ms. Wu had lived abroad when she was young, and she was also friends with Aunt Xiao, so the Xiao family trusted her.
"I'm leaving everything in your care, Teacher Wu. Don't let her loud and boisterous manner fool you; she's just a child. Please bear with her."
There are six exchange student spots available this time, but they are not from the same department; four are male and two are female.
When we arrived in the United States, we moved into a house that Teacher Wu had arranged, which was near the school.
With no family around, Gu An'an absorbed all kinds of knowledge like crazy. In just one year, she not only completed her studies excellently, but also learned about many other fields.
On weekends, she would go to the exchange and, relying on her experience from her previous life and what she had learned now, multiplied her funds many times over in just one year.
"An, are you really going back?"
"An, can you stay here? I'm so bored without you."
Looking at her two new friends, Gu An'an's face showed longing for home. "Yes, I'm going home. My child and husband are waiting for me."
When Gu An'an mentioned Xiao Yuheng, the two foreign girls simultaneously turned their gazes to the man not far away. "An, if you stay here, you might find an even better man?"
“Yes, take Alex for example. Who doesn’t know how he feels about you? His family is noble. If you accept his advances, you can live a better life, and we can see each other all the time.”
They had never met Xiao Yuheng, but they knew that Alex's family was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
“My husband is wonderful and loves me very much. Alex and I are just friends, there is absolutely no possibility of anything else.”
She was telling the truth. Alex was handsome, but he was the puppy-dog kind of handsome, which didn't suit her taste.
Besides, she genuinely likes Xiao Yuheng; it's not just a casual fling.
"Alright then! I really want to see what kind of man can make An so devoted to him."
"Welcome to China."
After chatting with them, Gu An'an was calculating the best time to sell the stocks she held when her path was blocked. The person who came was Alex.
"An, are you really going back to China?"
Gu An'an nodded firmly, "I've told you many times, I have a husband and children, it's impossible for us."
Alex couldn't understand why it was impossible! There were so many people around him who got married and divorced, why couldn't An?
“An, if you don’t go back to China, we’ll get married right away, and everything I have will be yours.”
The boy's eyes were clear, but Gu An'an almost laughed. "No, impossible!"
She then turned and left without saying anything more. She thought she might as well go shopping and prepare more gifts for her family.
The day before boarding the plane, Gu An'an found a manager to help her remotely manage her stocks.
"Mother!"
"Mommy! Waaaaah!"
As soon as Gu An'an appeared at the exit, she was grabbed by several figures.
She knelt down and hugged the two children, listening to their chatter for a long time before Gu An'an finally had time to look at the still handsome man beside her.
Welcome home.
Xiao Yuheng opened his arms wide, just as he had when he left a year ago.
Gu An'an rushed into his arms, "Did you miss me?"
Xiao Yuheng ruffled her hair, took a deep breath of its fragrance, and his restless heart finally calmed down.
"I think about you every day and night, I wish I could meld you into my body."
