Unlike Lin Qingmei who had a smooth life, Lin Qinglan who was far away in Yun Province was on the verge of life and death several times.
She hadn't had a holiday for three days in a row since her last vacation. Even her correspondence with Xu Zhiwei was sporadic, and she would often only reply to one or two letters out of a dozen.
It is now the end of the 75th month, and Lin Qinglan finally took a leave to go home.
"Captain Lin, this is your marriage application form. According to your military rank, you can bring your family with you when you return this time." Captain Wang handed the application form and the leave note to Lin Qinglan. After all these efforts, Lin Qinglan is now the battalion commander of the special forces.
"Thank you, Captain Wang. Once our family compound is approved, I will let my son come to accompany the army." The family compound of the special forces is located in a big mountain. Normally, when going out to buy things, they can only take the army's military supply vehicle.
She didn't know whether Xu Zhiwei was willing to come. If he was not willing to come, she could only let him stay in Linjiawan first, and then let him come here to settle down after the reform and opening up.
"This time, including the wedding leave, I have approved a total of two months for you. Go back and recuperate, and when you come back I will need you to carry out a special mission." The only reason why Captain Wang was able to approve such a long marriage for Lin Qinglan this time was because Lin Qinglan was seriously injured while performing the previous mission. She had just been discharged from the hospital the day before.
"What mission?" Lin Qinglan was very curious about what kind of mission could make Captain Wang so cautious and wait for her to come back.
"I have nothing to tell you now. I'll tell you when you come back." Captain Wang smiled mysteriously. This mission was a top-secret one and very dangerous. The only one in the army who could complete the mission was Lin Qinglan.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
"Please wait a moment. This is the money we all raised. I wish you a happy wedding in advance."
Lin Qinglan was a little touched when she saw Captain Wang take out a bunch of money from the drawer, and her voice was a little choked up when she spoke. "Please...thank everyone for me."
The next day, Lin Qinglan packed her luggage and set out on the journey home.
A day later, when she walked to the gate of her yard, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
When she opened the door, she saw Xu Zhiwei chopping wood in the yard. The familiar figure made her eyes red. Xu Zhiwei looked up and saw her, and was stunned at first, and then a bright smile broke out on his face.
"Qinglan, you're back." Xu Zhiwei walked up quickly and hugged Qinglan tightly, feeling her warmth. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a choked voice, "You're finally back. I missed you."
"I'm back, are you still here?" Lin Qinglan's face was filled with a bright smile and her voice was full of joy.
"That's great, Xiao Zheng has been admitted to junior high school, and your second sister has given birth to twin sons."
"My second sister is born!" Lin Qinglan's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She opened her eyes wide, her face full of surprise. "When is she due? Didn't you say in your last letter that she was only eight months old?"
"Maybe the kids knew their aunt was back, so they rushed out last night."
Last night, she was still full when she was having dinner. Not long after dinner, Lin Qingmei's stomach started to hurt. Fortunately, Lin Qingmei was worried that her water would suddenly break, so she got the car out of the space in advance, otherwise she would not know how to go to the hospital.
"Then let's go to the hospital quickly." Lin Qinglan put the luggage on the ground and pulled Xu Zhiwei out.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's go after the chicken soup is ready." Xu Zhiwei had just returned from the hospital not long ago. He had just made the chicken soup and they still had to wait for another hour or so.
"Who makes the chicken soup? Do you make it?"
