After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

"How can we prove this? He doesn't have a gun now..." Xia Qingning immediately came out to help Lu Jingzhe out, and then said confidently:

"Anyway, I've seen him hit it before."

Without seeing it with their own eyes, the children naturally refused to believe it and looked at Xia Qingning with suspicion.

Xia Qingning was thinking about how to convince these kids, when she suddenly heard Lu Jingzhe beside her looking at the kids and asking calmly:

"Want to eat?"

Everyone looked at Lu Jingzhe in confusion, and their eyes followed his line of sight slowly upwards, and they saw a very tall and large apricot tree in the distance. The apricots had almost all been picked at this season, and only a dozen or so large and yellow ones remained on the highest crown of the tree. Because no one could pick them, they were still hanging there.

Under the puzzled gazes of the children, Lu Jingzhe parked the car, pointed at a slingshot sticking out of a child's trouser pocket and said:

"Let me use it."

The little boy hesitated for a moment, took out the slingshot and handed it over.

Lu Jingzhe took the slingshot, bent down to pick up a few stones from the ground, raised his arm, tensed it, aimed, pulled, and fired... His movements were quick and smooth, without any delay.

Only two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and as the stone was shot out, two yellow apricots were hit and fell from the tree.

His expression was focused and calm as he continued to aim, pull, and fire.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." With a few consecutive sounds, apricots fell down one after another, and every shot hit the target.

"Wow!"

"Wow!!"

"Wow!!!"

As the apricots continued to fall, exclamations also rang out, louder and louder, more excited than the last.

Not to mention the children, even Xia Qingning who was standing by was stunned.

At such a distance, she couldn't even tell which was a leaf and which was an apricot, and he knocked them all down easily.

For a moment, she actually felt that what she said about him being able to hit a 10,000-meter target wasn't so exaggerated after all.

The man in front of her was wearing a neat military uniform, had a tall figure, and tilted his head slightly. He was so charming even when pulling a slingshot. She couldn't even imagine how heroic and energetic he would be when shooting with a real gun at the shooting range.

The children's exclamations did not stop until the last apricot fell. Everyone rushed over and picked up the apricots scattered on the ground.

After the children left, Xia Qingning couldn't help but walk up to Lu Jingzhe, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him with admiration:

"As expected of Captain Lu, you are amazing!"

The corners of Lu Jingzhe's mouth slightly raised when he was praised, but he quickly returned to his usual calmness, then looked at her and said in a deep voice:

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't hit a target 10,000 meters away. Don't mislead the children."

There was no accusation in his tone, but rather it sounded like he was educating a grown-up friend who was bragging.

The smile on Xia Qingning's face froze for a moment, and she guiltily put down her thumbs-up hand.

At this time, the children had picked all the apricots and ran over soon. Some of the children ate them directly. Guangguang also picked up two and held them in his hand.

Xia Qingning carefully discovered that the apricots were all intact. She had to admire the man in front of her again. His shooting skills were incredibly accurate.

The children walked up to the two of them, and now there was no more doubt in their eyes when they looked at Lu Jingzhe, only admiration and respect.

"Uncle, you are awesome." The children looked at Lu Jingzhe and then at Xia Qingning:

"Sister really didn't lie."

When Lu Jingzhe heard the first sentence of admiration and praise, he didn't feel much emotion, but after hearing the next sentence, his brows suddenly frowned.

Why is she the elder sister and I am the uncle? ?

"Zhang Xiaoming, do you believe it now? Zeng Guang's godfather is much more capable than your dad. Last time, your dad wanted to climb a tree to pick it and he nearly fell down. Haha..." The children laughed at the boy with the pot-cut hair.

The pot-cut kid obviously no longer doubted the ability of the big uncle in front of him, but he was still very dissatisfied when he heard others laughing at his father, and muttered quietly:

"No matter how powerful he is, he is not his biological father anyway."

Guang Guang would refute anything else, but when his father was mentioned, he seemed lost and inferior. Just as he lowered his head silently, suddenly a big and strong hand reached out, picked him up, and placed him on the crossbar of the bicycle.

He was so small that he was completely encircled in a strong arm. A deep and powerful voice sounded above his head:

"catch."

It was Guangguang's first time riding a bicycle, and he was a little scared, but he didn't say he wanted to get off. Somehow, he trusted this big uncle so much that he held the handlebars tightly.

The kids around had never ridden a bicycle before. When they saw Guangguang being put on the bike, they immediately showed envy in their eyes, especially the boy with the bowl-cut hair, whose eyes widened, because his father didn’t have such a majestic bike.

Amid everyone's envious gazes, Lu Jingzhe pushed Guangguang forward. It was the first time that Guangguang felt the favor from his "daddy". He felt very proud, and his little heart was filled with satisfaction and touching.

Xia Qingning looked at them and stood aside, looking at the children on the bicycles with envy. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally gave up the idea and followed them.

Lu Jingzhe did not ride the bike away directly, but pushed it forward all the way. He did this naturally to take care of Xia Qingning who was following behind.

Looking at the loving "father and son" in front of her, Xia Qingning's lips curled up unconsciously. Lu Jingzhe looked very cold, but every time he did something, it made people feel warm and at ease.

Lu Jingzhe pushed the child in front, and Xia Qingning followed behind. After a while, they arrived at the blue-tiled house. At this moment, a big yellow dog suddenly jumped out from behind and started barking at them.

Wang Wang Wang...

It bared its teeth and growled, looking extremely ferocious.

The incident happened too suddenly. Xia Qingning's face changed immediately when she saw the ferocious dog. She was walking at the end, and the dog was closest to her. She could only hear an unconscious yell from her mouth:

"what."

The infinitely growing fear made him completely unable to think, and he instinctively ran towards Lu Jingzhe. When he got to him, he immediately hid behind him, hugged him, and said hurriedly:

"Dog, dog..."

Lu Jingzhe was not scared by the dog, but was a little at a loss what to do because of Xia Qingning.

He saw her whole body pressed against him, with her hands tightly hugging his waist, making it impossible for him to move for a moment.

He turned around and was about to ask her to let him go, but he saw her panic-stricken look. He didn't say anything else, but just uttered two words in a deep voice,

"Don't be afraid."

Xia Qingning grabbed Lu Jingzhe tightly, keeping her eyes on the dog, afraid that it would suddenly rush up to her. She was not being pretentious, but was really afraid from the bottom of her heart. This kind of Chinese pastoral dog was the most difficult to mess with, and some of them would even launch sneak attacks.

When she was a child, she went to the village to sketch with her classmates who studied art. She encountered this incident once. The dog did not bark when it saw people, but bit the leg of the female classmate who was walking at the end.

It was summer at the time and the girls were all wearing skirts. The blood dyed their entire legs red, which was horrifying. She is still frightened by that scene.

"Let's go quickly." Xia Qingning reminded in a low voice while trembling, completely unaware that he was pulling at Lu Jingzhe. He was only thinking that the dog was barking so fiercely and might pounce on him soon, so why was he just standing there and not leaving?

Lu Jingzhe was helpless. She had to push the cart which was loaded with rice and noodles, with a little kid sitting on it. She hugged him tightly from behind and refused to let go, as if she wanted to hang on him. Now she couldn't take a step forward, and she asked herself why she didn't leave.

"Let go first." Lu Jingzhe was not angry, his tone was low, as if he was coaxing a child:

"Come to my side."

Xia Qingning's attention had always been on the big dog. After hearing Lu Jingzhe's reminder, she realized that she was holding Lu Jingzhe. She smiled awkwardly, then slowly let go of him and prepared to walk to his side.

The dog was still barking, but it was just growling and didn't jump up. At this moment, Guang Guang, who was sitting on the railing, suddenly climbed down from the car and shouted at the dog without any fear:

"Stop yelling, go away."

After he finished roaring, he bent down. The dog saw him bending down and thought he was going to pick up a stone to hit it, so it quickly tucked its tail between its legs and ran forward, barking as it ran, but did not rush over again.

Xia Qingning was stunned by Guangguang's series of actions. She felt that she was not as good as a seven or eight-year-old child. Just when she was ashamed, Guangguang walked up to her and said seriously:

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you, it can't bite you."

After saying that, he took Xia Qingning's hand and walked forward.

Lu Jingzhe, who was standing behind him, looked at the little boy taking his wife away, and his brows suddenly frowned.
