Lin Tingwan turned sideways and held the little girl in her arms. She patted her with her hand and said softly, "Auntie will tell you a story. You will fall asleep after listening to the story."
"Okay." Lu Zixin closed her eyes obediently, waiting for her story.
"Once upon a time, there was a castle, and inside it lived a princess..." Lin Tingwan's gentle voice came out slowly, soothing the chaos in her heart amid the complex sound of rain.
After a while, the little girl fell asleep.
Lin Tingwan's eyes were a little difficult to open, and her voice was intermittent and drowsy.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at her sideways, and seeing the little girl sleeping soundly in the crook of her neck, he also smiled.
Later, seeing the little girl pressing down on her arm, he reached out and lifted up the little girl's head, and pulled Wanwan's arm out. If she kept pressing down on her arm like this all night, she would have no use for the arm tomorrow.
He randomly covered the two people with a quilt, then lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It rained heavily all night and the yard outside was full of mud.
Lu Yunzheng went to the military district early in the morning to take a look, fearing that there were some orders from above that he had missed.
Sure enough, when he was on his way to the military area, he saw his police officer rushing over.
After seeing his figure, he immediately ran over and saluted, "Captain, many places in the neighboring city have been flooded. It is said that the flood prevention measures taken before are no longer effective. We need our military region to provide emergency support!"
After hearing this, Lu Yunzheng's temperament changed suddenly.
He immediately opened his mouth and ordered, "Blow the assembly call. I'm going home for a while. Please tell the political commissar about the situation first."
"good!"
Lu Yunzheng ran home. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lin Tingwan cooking in the kitchen.
After he walked into the kitchen, Lin Tingwan raised her eyes and asked, "What were you doing so early in the morning? I didn't see you when I got up."
Lu Yunzheng's dark eyes were filled with complex emotions, and then he spoke in a low voice: "There's an emergency in the next city and I need support. I have to leave now! I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next few days."
When these words came out, Lin Tingwan was stunned for a moment.
Although she knew that this moment would come for a military wife, and she thought she was prepared, when this day came, she suddenly felt uneasy.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yunzheng always went out on time and came home on time during this period, and they could see each other all day long, which made her forget her identity as a military dependent for a while.
After she came to her senses, she put the things in her hand on the stove.
She looked up at Lu Yunzheng and asked softly, "What do you need to prepare? I'll prepare it for you right away." As she spoke, she wiped her hands on her apron and was about to go back to the house.
Lu Yunzheng frowned slightly and reached out to grab her arm.
Then he stretched out his long arms and held Lin Tingwan in his arms.
"Wanwan, you don't have to prepare anything, just hug me."
Lin Tingwan put her ear against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her own heart gradually calmed down.
She reached out and hugged Lu Yunzheng back, and said calmly, "Be careful and don't do anything rash. I'm... the kids and I are waiting for you at home!"
Although she didn't know how critical the situation was, it would definitely be a serious situation if troops were transferred from other places.
She couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Lu Yunzheng also felt a little uncomfortable, but the assembly call kept sounding in his ears, and he had no time to say more.
After letting go of Lin Tingwan, looking at her delicate eyebrows and eyes, especially the worried look in her eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility in his heart!
Then he put his hand on her cheek and bent down to kiss her lips.
"Wanwan, wait for me to come back!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Yunzheng turned and left without stopping or looking back.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go back, but he is afraid that once he turns back, he won’t want to leave.
But he still has responsibilities ahead of him, so he has to leave.
Watching Lu Yunzheng's leaving back, Lin Tingwan couldn't help but raise her leg and follow him, her hands tightly gripping the door frame, her eyes suddenly becoming a little misty.
Until the little girl came out of the house, raised her head and asked in a baby voice: "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Tingwan finally came back to her senses, lowered her eyes to look at the little girl and said softly, "It's okay, auntie will go cook for you." Then she turned around and headed towards the kitchen.
Just standing in front of the stove, her mind went blank for a moment.
I feel empty inside and don't know what to do.
In this family compound, when the soldiers heard the assembly call, no matter what they were doing, their first reaction was to run to the door, but they said something while running and rushed straight to the military district without looking back!
Some military wives have become accustomed to this situation, but they are still worried, just not as strongly.
Some of the newly married military wives couldn't help feeling sad and started sobbing in the house.
Fortunately, Lin Tingwan still had three children to accompany her, which helped her dispel many of the thoughts in her mind.
It rained in Jiangning on the afternoon of the day Lu Yunzheng left, but the rain was not as heavy and stopped in the evening.
But at dinner time, the little girl saw that Lu Yunzheng had not come back, so she asked, "Aunt, uncle hasn't come back yet."
Lin Tingwan put the food in front of her and explained softly, "Uncle has gone to help others and will not be back for a few days. Will Xinxin be scared?"
Lu Zixin shook her head and said with a smile: "With my aunt here, Xinxin is not afraid!"
Lin Tingwan curled her lips into a smile, then started eating.
After eating just a few bites, the little girl suddenly grinned and asked, "Aunt, can I sleep with you today?"
"Of course."
"Then let's listen to stories today!" The little girl's eyes were full of joy. Not only was her aunt's body soft and fragrant, but she could also listen to stories. She loved sleeping with her aunt the most!
"Okay, I'll continue telling you tonight!" Lin Tingwan picked up a piece of food for her and told her to eat quickly.
Come to think of it, she didn't know what she was talking about yesterday. Anyway, she fell asleep in a daze and slept soundly. She also hoped that she could sleep as soundly tonight.
The little girl nodded contentedly and ate obediently.
However, Lu Zihang standing by was very envious.
He has never slept with his aunt, and no one has ever told him a story. He also wants to listen to a story before going to bed!
For a moment, he suddenly wanted to be the same age as his sister. If so, could he sleep with his aunt? !
Lu Zizhou recalled the story his sister told him during the day, probably told by his aunt.
Then his eyebrows flickered, and I don’t know what he was thinking about. Anyway, he ate a lot faster.
