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

At the end of the wedding banquet, a woman in her twenties, holding the hand of a little girl of three or four years old, took the initiative to walk to Xia Qingning and gently patted her shoulder:

"Hello, Teacher Xia."

Xia Qingning turned her head and looked at the woman, and after a moment she called out in surprise:

"Yunxiang."

Yunxiang smiled gently, then greeted Luoya next to her. The little girl she was holding also called out to everyone obediently.

"How old is your daughter?" Luo Ya asked.

“Almost five years old.” Yunxiang replied.

Here, Lu En, Su Luo and other children had finished their meal, and Xia Qingning asked him to take his little sister to play over there.

After the children left, Yunxiang sat down and continued chatting with Xia Qingning and the others.

Xia Qingning told her that she was no longer her teacher, and that they were all of similar age, so she could just call her by her name.

Yunxiang shook her head and said that calling her "Teacher Xia" was more intimate, as if she had returned to the days in the art troupe.

Speaking of the art troupe, Luo Ya couldn't help but sigh:

"It would be great if the group hadn't disbanded. We could still be together and perform for everyone."

"Yes, we are all reluctant to disband the group." Yunxiang smiled gently, and there was a kind of calmness in her:

"But the times are moving forward, and change is inevitable. What we have learned in the art troupe and the basic skills we have practiced have also come in handy." After saying this, she looked at Luo Ya:

"I often see your posters in high-end clothing stores."

Luo Ya also smiled and sighed:

"Well, if I hadn't exercised every day in the art troupe and developed a habit, I wouldn't have been able to maintain my figure and become a model for Green Lemon Company."

"Teacher Xia, the clothes designed by your company are very popular. The students I teach like your company's clothes very much. They think they are fashionable and trendy." Yunxiang looked at Xia Qingning and couldn't help but sigh:

"I thought you would always be a teacher, after all, you play the piano so well, but I didn't expect you to become a great female entrepreneur now."

Xia Qingning smiled and replied:

"It's not that I'm great, it's just that I caught up with the good policies."

They chatted for a while. At this time, Liu Yuanzheng, who was wearing a military uniform, came over holding the little girl who had just followed Yunxiang. When he saw Xia Qingning and Luo Ya, he greeted them enthusiastically and said:

"I just saw the two little boys playing with my Xiaoyue, and I recognized them as the sons of Captain Lu and Captain Su at first sight. They look so similar."

"Your Xiaoyue looks a lot like you." Xia Qingning replied.

"Really?" Liu Yuanzheng chuckled twice:

"Why do I feel like you look more like Yunxiang?" His tone and eyes were full of love.

Because of He Shanshan's joining the army a few years ago, although Yunxiang and Liu Yuanzheng had obtained a marriage certificate, they did not live together.

Later, after being separated for about a year and a half, with Liu Yuanzheng's confession and efforts, Yunxiang accepted him again and never mentioned the name He Shanshan again.

She has always been a very clear-headed person. Since she has chosen to forgive, she will never pursue the past anymore.

Liu Yuanzheng treated her even better because he felt guilty.

They chatted for a while, then Liu Yuanzheng and Yunxiang stood up, said goodbye to Xia Qingning and the others, greeted the groom (who was now Liu Yuanzheng's subordinate), and then walked forward holding their daughter.

Liu Yuanzheng held the child in his arms, Yunxiang snuggled up beside him, and they walked forward together. Looking at the happy backs of the family of three, Xia Qingning's lips unconsciously raised, and she said silently in her heart:

"My little family, everyone is happy and safe. Perhaps this is the meaning of Su Xiangnan and Lu Jingzhe's dedication to the country."

After spending the New Year in the army, Xia Qingning and Luo Ya were going back to North City. Two days before leaving, they took their three children to the martyrs' cemetery on the back mountain.

On their way back, they brought the children here once before. The children had good memories, so this time they walked in front to lead the way.

Luo Ya cooked the braised pork that Su Xiangnan liked, carried it in a basket, and followed the children.

When we arrived at Su Xiangnan's grave, we found that his tombstone had been wiped clean. It seemed that people often came to see him and had not forgotten him.

After everyone finished paying their respects, Xia Qingning took the children and left first, wanting to leave some time for Luo Ya and Su Xiangnan to be alone for a while.

Xia Qingning was standing at the intersection with her three children. Su Luo suddenly tilted his head, looked at Xia Qingning and asked doubtfully:

"Fourth aunt, why don't you like braised pork?"

Luoya made braised pork last night, it tasted so good that Su Luo ate a lot. He never understood why some people didn't like braised pork, so he couldn't help but ask now.

"My mother thinks it's too greasy. She doesn't like eating fatty meat." Lu En answered for Xia Qingning.

"It's not greasy, and it smells so good." Su Luo disagreed at all. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned his eyes to look at Xia Qingning and said:

"Fourth aunt, next time my mom asks you if you want to eat braised pork, just say you do."

"Why? But I don't like it." Xia Qingning looked at Su Luo, wanting to know what was going on in his little head.

Su Luo seemed to be waiting for her to say this. As soon as she finished speaking, he immediately volunteered:

"It's okay, I can eat it for you secretly, I'm not afraid of oil."

Xia Qingning smiled unconsciously. Luo Ya was afraid that he would eat too much and his stomach wouldn't be able to take it, so she usually wouldn't let him eat too much. This clever little guy wanted to eat, so he set his sights on her.

"I don't think your method will work." Lu En on the side suddenly said.

"Why?" Su Luo asked doubtfully:

"As long as Fourth Aunt doesn't tell you and you don't tell me, my mother won't know."

"Aunt Third knows that my mother has never eaten fatty meat. Don't you think it's strange that she suddenly wants to eat it?" Lu En continued to explain:

"If you think this is strange, wouldn't Third Aunt also think so?"

Su Luo thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to make sense, and he sighed unconsciously. At this time, Luo Ya came over and heard her son sighing, so she asked him what was wrong.

"The braised pork flew away."

Before Su Luo could speak, his sister Luo Su answered for her brother.

Luo Ya wanted to ask more, but Su Luo took her hand guiltily and told her to go quickly.

The five of them walked down the mountain together. Xia Qingning deliberately observed Luo Ya and was relieved to see that her mood was not affected at all.

After returning to North City from the army, Xia Qingning and Luo Ya started another year of work.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye. This was the tenth year that Lu Jingzhe had gone to the border to fight. In this year, China won the war with an overwhelming advantage, and Country X completely withdrew from China's territory.

In March, Lu Jingzhe finally returned to North City. Xia Qingning brought Tuantuan, who was already eleven years old, to the train station to pick him up.

The train arrived on time. The two stood on the platform, waiting anxiously and patiently, but until all the soldiers got off the train, they still didn't see Lu Jingzhe.

Xia Qingning had been notified early in the morning and knew that he was in this carriage. Just as she was about to walk towards the carriage, she saw a soldier coming out and putting a wooden board at the door of the carriage.

A moment later, another soldier came out pushing a wheelchair.

The person sitting in the wheelchair was Lu Jingzhe.

Lu Jingzhe also saw Xia Qingning, and called her name affectionately, just like many years ago:

"A Ning........"
