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

Hearing this strange yet familiar voice, Xia Qingning's eyes instantly filled with tears.

She held back the tears that were about to fall, walked quickly to Lu Jingzhe, squatted down, and held his hand.

That hand is still as big and warm as I remember. Once I hold it, I will never let go.

"Sister-in-law, Commander Lu just had surgery on his leg. The doctor said that he cannot walk for the time being and needs to rest for a while." The little soldier who was pushing Lu Jingzhe said to Xia Qingning.

"Okay, okay, when I get home, I will urge him to have a good rest." Xia Qingning said, and tears instantly rolled down her eyes.

She had just seen him coming back in a wheelchair and had guessed countless possibilities. She was afraid that he had lost his legs and that he would never be able to stand up again, so she had not dared to ask.

In fact, in her heart, as long as Lu Jingzhe can come back, she can accept it calmly no matter if he is injured or disabled.

But she knew that Lu Jingzhe was such a proud man. If he needed to be taken care of for the rest of his life, unable to take care of himself and had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, it might be more cruel for him than sacrificing himself.

Now that I heard the little soldier say that he just couldn't walk temporarily, I felt relieved and dared to cry.

Her Lu Jingzhe is back, back intact.

"Dad." At this time, Lu En walked over, looked at Lu Jingzhe and called out in a loud voice.

After calling everyone, he stood very straight, raised his right hand, and gave a standard military salute.

Lu Jingzhe looked at his son who had grown to be as tall as his wife, and recalled that when he left, he was just learning to speak, but now he has grown into a young man. He couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

Neither of them is an outgoing person, so it was their first meeting and they were a little unfamiliar.

Lu Jingzhe responded and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything sentimental. He just raised his hand and returned his military salute.

This was a silent communication between two men using the highest ritual.

"Thank you for the trouble along the way. Let me push it." Xia Qingning stood up with a smile and took the wheelchair from the little soldier.

"You should go back to the army and report first." Lu Jingzhe said to the young soldier.

"Yes, Commander." The little soldier saluted Lu Jingzhe, then said goodbye to Xia Qingning before turning around and leaving.

Xia Qingning pushed Lu Jingzhe forward, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and she said gently:

"Let's go home."

Lu Jingzhe's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.

As far as he could remember, this was the third time his Aning had taken him home.

The first time was on the afternoon when he reconciled with his childhood, the second time was on the day Su Xiangnan was sacrificed and buried, and the third time was now when he returned in a wheelchair.

It seemed that every time I encountered setbacks, she would always come to take me home quietly and gently.

It’s great to have a home, it’s great to have her!

Xia Qingning bought a courtyard house in the north city and planted it with flowers and plants.

When Lu Jingzhe was pushed in, he felt that this place had a sense of déjà vu, just like their home in the garrison military area.

Because the two children had an activity in their class, Luo Ya originally wanted to ask for leave for them to go to the station to pick up Lu Jingzhe, but Xia Qingning did not let her.

Because the children are participating in a group activity, if they temporarily stop going, it will disrupt the results of many days of rehearsal.

As soon as the afternoon activities ended, Luo Ya hurriedly took her two children and rushed back home. When she saw Lu Jingzhe, and saw him sitting in a wheelchair, Luo Ya was stunned.

After learning that his legs only temporarily required him to use a wheelchair, Luo Ya could not help but say with tears in her eyes:

"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."

The two children also came forward and called Lu Jingzhe "Fourth Uncle". Lu Jingzhe looked at Su Luo, a man of iron will, who looked almost exactly like Su Xiangnan, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes at this moment.

Xia Qingning knew that he was thinking about his third brother.

Who doesn’t want to?

*

During the ten years of fighting with Country X, there were actually many opportunities for Lu Jingzhe to be transferred back, but he always stayed at the forefront of the battle.

"Drive Country X completely out of China's territory." This was the promise he made in front of Su Xiangnan's tombstone ten years ago.

His guards advanced and died in the long battle, and he himself almost lost both legs, but fortunately it took him ten years to finally fulfill his promise.

During the time that Lu Jingzhe was recuperating, Xia Qingning felt that this was the happiest time for the two of them.

She turned the study into her temporary studio. She designed clothes while Lu Jingzhe read beside her. When they were tired, they chatted and had a drink together.

Sometimes when she was making clothes, she would find Lu Jingzhe looking at her intently, and his eyes were just as full of love as they were back then.

After more than three months of rest, Lu Jingzhe's legs have almost recovered. Now he has been transferred to the Beicheng Military Region as a division commander. His family all lives in Beicheng and they no longer have to be separated.

When July was approaching, the school was on summer vacation. Lu Jingzhe, Xia Qingning and Luo Ya, along with their three children, returned to the garrison military district in Yincheng.

It was Xia Qingcao who came to pick them up this time. When he saw Lu Jingzhe, he saluted seriously and called out:

"Hello, Chief."

Lu Jingzhe looked at Xia Qingcao, who was wearing a neat military uniform and had become very steady. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying two words in a deep voice:

"Not bad!"

Xia Qingcao's eyes were a little blurry. The scene when she first met her brother-in-law more than ten years ago and her brother-in-law asked her, who was so thin and weak, "Do you want to join the army, kid?" was still vivid in her mind.

At that time, my brother-in-law was wearing a green military uniform. He felt very proud and envious. In a blink of an eye, he also put on the same military uniform.

Only now did he deeply realize the significance of this military uniform:

It is not a uniform that makes people look impressive or envious, but a duty, a mission, and the belief that one will never retreat even if it means shedding blood and sacrificing life.

When they returned to the Su family, their aunt and eldest brother Su Xiangdong came to greet them. Their uncle Su Yunlong had been dead for more than a year.

Su Yang and Su Xin from my eldest brother’s family are now students at Peking University and Tsinghua University. They have been working on projects with their supervisors recently and have no time to go home.

After dinner, the second uncle shared his experience with Lu Jingzhe, telling him to put a heater next to him on rainy days and soak his feet more often in winter, which could relieve leg pain.

These are all from my second uncle's experience. His leg was also injured in battle and there are still shrapnel that have not been removed. So after learning that Lu Jingzhe had a steel plate left in his leg, he passed on his experience to him.

It was originally a cruel thing, but both of them acted very calmly. It was their testimony to the cruelty of the war, and also the war's testimony to their bravery.

After dinner, the family sat together and drank tea leisurely. Lu En and Su Luo here started arguing about the topic that had never been decided before - whose father was more handsome.

"I still think my dad is more handsome!" Su Luo said, and then he looked at his sister and asked again:

"Luo Su, tell me fairly, whose father is better looking."

Luo Su hesitated for a while and answered:

"Our father."

After Su Luo heard this, he immediately looked at Lu En with a proud look:

"Did you hear that? Two to one, you lose. My dad is handsome."

Lu En showed an expression that said 'I don't want to bother with you', obviously not wanting to argue with him anymore.

Lu Jingzhe looked at the three children arguing, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, and he secretly said in his heart:

"Su Xiangnan, you are indeed foresighted. We have the advantage in numbers."

No matter what, Lu Jingzhe loses, because he will slowly grow old and become an old man in everyone's eyes, while Su Xiangnan will always be young and handsome.
