"Xiaotang, now that your parents have been reinstated, are you still planning to stay in the South City Military Region?"
Lu Xiaotang said with a smile: "Uncle Huo, I have been in the Nanshi Military Region since I joined the army. I have been with my brothers for several years and have developed feelings for them. I can't bear to leave them, so I don't want to be transferred around."
Chief Huo continued to persuade: "Your parents are not young anymore, you are their only son, and your sister lives far away. Can you bear to see them here?"
Lu Xiaotang sighed and remained silent.
But I was thinking, how come my parents are not young anymore? You are just over 50 years old, but you say they are old. You are several years older than my parents, so why don’t you say that you are old?
Seeing that he was a little resigned, Chief Huo continued, "Next year, the Beijing Military Region is planning to set up an independent regiment. I want to transfer you here to be the commander of this regiment. What do you think?"
Lu Xiaotang pretended to be surprised and said, "Uncle Huo, at my age, being the leader of an independent regiment, others would not accept it, right?"
Commander Huo laughed and said, "Don't be so modest, kid. I've heard about your abilities. Since it's an independent regiment, you'll be allowed to bring a few men from the Nanshi Military Region.
When the time comes, I will call Chen Guanghuai and ask him for a few people. If that old guy dares not agree, I will go to the Nanshi Military Region to find him in person. ”
Lu Xiaotang got what he wanted and had dinner at the Huo's house before returning to his own small building.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu just came back a few days ago, and the hospital has to hand over their work, so they haven't come back yet.
He took a shower and then read a book in the living room. He lives in the courtyard over there and only comes here occasionally.
The work here is almost finished. I will return to the Nanshi Military Region next month. Before going back there, I will go to see my wife and children first. I will be able to be transferred to Beijing City at the beginning of next year.
Father and Mother Lu didn't come back until after eight in the evening. When they saw him, they asked happily, "Xiaotang, why are you back today? Have you finished your work?"
"Mom and Dad, my work here is basically finished, and I will return to South City at the beginning of next month."
He put down the book in his hand and went to pour a cup of tea for his parents.
Father Lu sat on the sofa and said, "Your mother and I have been busy these past two days, and we haven't had time to ask about your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Dad, don't worry about my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I heard today that the college entrance examination may be resumed. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are professors at Beijing University, so they should be back soon."
They were both very surprised when they heard this: "Xiaotang, are you sure?"
Lu Xiaotang said: "It's not confirmed yet, but I think it's almost certain. Xiao Ning and Xiao An have been reviewing for the past two years, and my sister and brother-in-law are also reading. If the college entrance examination is really resumed, then our family will be reunited."
Dad Lu remained calm after hearing this, but Mom Lu's eyes were red with joy when she thought of her relatives in the countryside.
I plan to buy review materials tomorrow and send them to Xiaoning and Xiaoran.
"Xiaotang, your father-in-law said that they had a courtyard near Beijing University, but since their accident, no one knows who lives there now.
You can go over and take a look tomorrow, so you can have a better idea of what's going on. Your mother and I will then find a way to get it back. "Dad Lu told him.
Mother Lu thought for a moment and said, "Just go and ask around. Don't alert the enemy, or someone might do something bad for that house and prevent your father-in-law and mother-in-law from returning to the city."
Lu Xiaotang saw that his parents were still concerned and gave him instructions, just like when he was a child.
I smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, when I came here last year, Xiao Ning told me the address of her house.
I have already visited it. My father-in-law's younger brother and his family are living there now. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will be back soon.
Just let them move out. We have already severed our relationship, so what's the point of them living there? ”
Mother Lu said worriedly: "I heard from your mother-in-law that her stepmother-in-law is not an easy person to deal with and has a black heart.
When she was in confinement, all the food that Xiaoning's grandmother brought over was given to her youngest son, and your mother-in-law couldn't even eat an egg.
Later, Xiaoning's grandparents found out about it and bought the yard, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law moved out to live there. ”
She sighed and added, "Now that they have moved in, it may not be easy to get them to move out in the future."
Lu Xiaotang sneered: "Let them stay for a while, and then ask them to move out the same way they moved in. Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
He also told his parents that he was going to be transferred to the Beijing Military Region. The two elders were very happy and asked him to write a letter to tell Xiao Ning as soon as possible.
