Lou Luhui hadn't had a long vacation for several years, and this time he took a total of more than 30 days.
It seems like a long time, but if you exclude the time wasted on the way there and back, there are only about twenty days left in total.
In addition, I had to rush back to Chaoyang Village to attend a funeral, so I really didn't stop for a moment. All in all, the whole vacation was more tiring than when I was on the island.
At least my body is really tired.
So, when they said goodbye to their parents and got on the train back home, Tian Mi and her husband both breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not easy!
Especially when there are two noisy little ancestors traveling with you along the way.
It is no exaggeration to say that both the couple lost several pounds during this vacation!
When he returned, he not only brought back the young boy Tian Jun, but also Zhou Jianshe's mother.
Not counting the little ones, there were six adults in total, so two of them had to sit in another carriage.
Neither Tian Jun nor Zhou's mother had ever traveled far, and Wang Linkun originally planned to take Tian Xin to the next carriage.
But the young boy and Zhou's mother thought that they were just being taken along, and since they were sisters and brothers-in-law, they were all real relatives, so they were unwilling to disrupt the formation and went straight to the next carriage while chatting and laughing.
Tian Mi was a little worried, fearing that the old man and the child might be bullied again on the road, so he asked two people to go over and carefully settle them down.
After all, the military uniforms they wore were the best deterrent, especially since they had four pockets.
"How long will Linkun's vacation last?" After the train started, Tian Mi placed the cotton pillow that her mother-in-law had specially asked her to bring behind her back, leaned back and relaxed on the lower bunk, watching the twins playing games. Then she remembered that her third brother-in-law's vacation had also passed for more than ten days.
Tian Xin was a nerd most of the time. Although she was sitting cross-legged on the lower bunk next to her fiancé, except for her initial blushing and uneasiness, the girl quickly immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge after flipping through the book, completely forgetting the man with a strong presence next to her.
Wang Linkun was both angry and amused. He pulled her to sit on the lower bunk to accompany him, but he didn't ask her to read.
Besides, can that book be as good as his
Just when he was thinking about whether to play a trick and take the book away from her hand, he heard his sister-in-law's words, so he looked up and smiled and said, "This time I've also asked for a long vacation, which is still half a month."
"Then apart from the time spent on the round-trip bus, we can only stay on the island for five or six days." From now on, we will have to be in a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships were difficult in the past, let alone now. Thinking of this, Tian Mi turned his gaze to his silly sister.
Sure enough, although the little girl was still holding the book, her mind was obviously not on it.
"It's true that you can only stay for five or six days." Although he was talking to his sister-in-law, Wang Linkun had always kept his eyes on his fiancée. Now seeing her in a daze, he couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart while feeling happy.
This girl still cares about herself after all.
But when this thought came to his mind, he secretly laughed at himself for being so easily satisfied.
Even he himself did not expect that at the age of 25 he would be defeated by a little white rabbit, and he did it willingly.
"Then we'll have to hold an engagement party when we get back." Tian Mi glanced at her sister and found that she had already started packing her books. She obviously knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything more and just asked about their engagement.
Although a banquet had already been held in Chaoyang Village, no one else on the island knew about it except for two close families.
Before Tian Xin gets married and joins Wang Linkun's troops in the south, she must have lived on the island.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is indeed necessary to hold another engagement party. Of course, this is also the idea of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu.
Hearing this, Wang Linkun reached out and took his fiancee's hand, which had already put away the book and was closer to him, into his palm. He looked at the little girl with soft eyes. Her cheeks turned pink again because of his action, but she did not struggle. He was even happier in his heart: "Well, I'll do it when I get back. Not only me, but my father and mother must be worried too."
“.”
There is nothing wrong with what Wang Linkun said.
Ever since Brigade Commander Wang and his wife found out that their son had successfully dated Tian Xin, they have been in high spirits all day long. To put it more exaggeratedly, they even feel like they walk more lightly.
Especially after learning that his son had been recognized by his in-laws and was engaged, he was extremely happy.
After praising his eldest son for his swift and decisive action, he began to discuss with his wife about holding another engagement party on the island to make things clear.
First, it was to stop other people from having the idea of hitting the girl, and second, it was to show the couple's satisfaction with their future daughter-in-law.
Now that his sons would be able to arrive at Hongchun Station around five o'clock this afternoon, he asked the guard to drive an 8-seater car to pick them up early. He then took out the dishes that Mei Zi had arranged to buy for lunch and planned to go find the quartermaster.
"Where is Xiao Fang going?" Political Commissar Liu had no idea what his old friend was doing behind his back. As he watched Xiao Fang drive away, he casually asked a few words out of curiosity.
Wang Lu
Yes, just say you forgot something.
It seems like he has never told his old partner about the children's affairs
He and Mei Zi had never told anyone about this before. After all, it was just his son's one-sided idea at that time, and the girl Tian Xin might not agree. If they told others, if it failed, it would be detrimental to the girl's reputation.
Later, their son got engaged again just two days after getting married. The couple was so busy having fun that they completely forgot about their old friend.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu felt even more embarrassed.
Political Commissar Liu and he had been partners for so many years, and they both knew each other very well. Seeing the guilty look on the other's face, he immediately had a bad feeling: "You old man, did you do something bad behind my back?"
This guess was quite accurate. Wang Lu was choked up, but he smiled with the simple look of an old farmer and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
"You are! So tell me! What did you do? Let me make it clear first. If things go too far, you will have to compensate me for all the tea." Seeing that his old partner's expression was not serious, Political Commissar Liu knew it was not a big deal and was in the mood to make a joke at the moment.
Wang Lu nodded repeatedly: "All for you, I'll give it to you when I get back!"
"There's something wrong with you! Tell me, what conscienceless thing have you done?" Political commissars are not simple-minded. The more generous his old partner was, the more Political Commissar Liu felt that something was wrong, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished asking this question, he saw the other party was embarrassed but couldn't suppress his joy: "Lin Kun will go to the city this afternoon and come back to get engaged."
"This is a good thing. Why are you so guilty, old man? Who is the other party?" Before he finished speaking, Political Commissar Liu reacted. He widened his eyes and became angry: "With Tian Xin?"
"I didn't do anything behind their backs. It was really the children's fate." Wang Lu then recounted their chance encounter in the hospital. Of course, he shamelessly changed the concept and said that the two children didn't know each other's identities, fell in love at first sight, and have now gone to the girl's hometown to get engaged.
After explaining the whole cause and effect, Wang Lu glanced at his old partner's already dark face, and wisely looked back and took a step back. He and Lao Liu were both old, and it would not be a good look if they fought.
Is Political Commissar Liu angry
Of course he was angry. Although he didn't have to marry Tian Xin, he had mentioned it to his son in private. He had originally planned to ask his son to come back to meet the girl when she turned 20 during the Chinese New Year, but now all his plans had gone down the drain.
Look at the old guy smiling so hard that his teeth are showing.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Hehe, is the tea enough? Take away the wine too!
No residue left!
Looking at every corner, even a bottle of good wine that he had secretly hidden behind his wife's back was found out by his old friend. Brigade Commander Wang felt his heart bleeding but he didn't dare to say a word.
He sacrificed too much for his son.
Late September.
The temperature in the south is often still as high as 30 degrees during the day, but in the north it is only around 10 degrees.
Tian Mi and his friends were already used to the big temperature difference between the two sides, but Zhou's mother and Tian Jun, who came here for the first time, were really surprised.
In those days, information was blocked and most people had never even left the village, like Tian Jun.
Although Zhou's mother worked in the government all her life, she also worked in an office and never left Beijing.
Although I have always known that the further north you go, the colder it gets, I never expected the difference to be so huge.
In more than three days, not only did everyone's clothing change from light clothing to thick coats, but even the scenery changed from lush green to yellow and withered grass and trees.
Even after everyone got in the car, Zhou's mother was still looking out the window and sighing, "It's only September and we have to wear coats. When winter comes, how cold will it be? Can we really stand it?"
Tian Mi smiled and comforted him, "It's not that bad actually. We have a heated kang in the house, so it's not cold once you get used to it. Besides, winter is fun here. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so you should ask Brother Jianshe to take you out for a walk. The scenery here is very beautiful, especially the snow scenery and the ice lanterns. I have a camera, so I'll take some photos for you as a souvenir."
"That's great!" Zhou's mother did not refuse. Although she came here mainly to take care of her daughter-in-law during childbirth, it would be good for her to find something fun to pass the time. At least it would reassure the children.
A few people were chatting and laughing, and the car arrived at the door of the guesthouse where Tian Mi had stayed several times before dark.
It's getting late today and it's dangerous to drive at night, so we'll stay here for one night as usual and leave for the army the next morning.
the next day.
Eleven o'clock in the morning.
Ruan Mei couldn't sit still any longer, so she simply locked the door and walked towards the gate.
My eldest son has been away from home for more than five years, and I don’t know if he has grown taller or fatter.
Another thing is that he has a mischievous temper, so he’d better not let the daughter-in-law he has finally won over fool him and run away.
Thinking of her daughter-in-law, a smile appeared on her usually indifferent face.
Tian Xin is a good girl with a good character and is down-to-earth and motivated.
Maybe in the eyes of many people, the little girl is too soft.
But no one knows a son better than his mother. Ruan Mei knew very well what kind of personality her son had.
Lin Kun seems to be a good-tempered and gentle child, but in fact, it is very difficult for people to get close to him, and he is even a bit vindictive.
Tian Xin's simple and honest personality complements her son's cleverness.
Of course, his own son is not without merits. Not to mention his external conditions, even in terms of character, as long as he keeps it in his heart, he will really protect him.
"Aunt, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ge Yun chased his naughty son out of the house. When he looked up, he saw his aunt with a happy look on her face and asked curiously.
Ruan Mei came back to her senses, and when she saw who it was, her smile widened: "Xiao Yun, go to the door and wait for my son. Oh, Tian Mi and the others are back too."
Hearing this, Ge Yun's eyes lit up. He didn't care why they came back together. He grabbed his son who was about to run out and said with a smile, "I'll go with Auntie."
In the past few years, although she and Tian Mi were not as close as Sister Xiaoyu, they did develop a certain friendship.
It would be nice to have someone to accompany me, but... "It's almost time for dinner, your Captain Zhu will be back soon, right?"
Mentioning her new husband, Ge Yun's eyes softened: "It's okay, I've already prepared lunch, just leave him a note later, maybe we'll be back earlier than him."
"That's right. According to the time, they should be here by now. Come on, let's take turns holding the child."
"No need to hold him. The little brat is very nimble. He's not even four years old yet, and I can't catch up with him."
“.”
Ruan Mei's timing was just right.
After walking to the gate and chatting with Ge Yun for a few minutes, I saw a jeep driving towards us.
Suddenly, the two of them didn't bother to talk anymore. They just said "Coming! Coming!" several times and took a few steps forward.
the other side.
The people in the car also saw them.
Wang Linkun saw his mother from afar. No matter how well he controlled his emotions in the past, he was a little excited at this moment. Even though he knew that the car had to stop at the gate for registration and inspection, he subconsciously said, "Xiao Fang, please stop in front."
"Okay!" Xiao Fang didn't remind him and responded with a smile. A few seconds later, the car stopped at the gate.
Tian Mi's family of four sat in the front row and got off the bus first.
After Aunt Gu, who was sitting outside, and Tian Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car, Wang Linkun, who was sitting in the last row, took the little girl, whose face was blushing again, and prepared to get out of the car: "Don't be afraid, isn't my mother very familiar with you?"
Can it be the same? This time it's the future mother-in-law. Thinking of this, even the good-tempered Tian Xin looked at the man speechlessly.
It was rare to see a little girl angry or embarrassed, and Wang Linkun felt really piqued about it. He even wanted to tease her a little bit, as he really liked her shy look.
Unfortunately, the timing was not right. In the end, he could only pinch the little hand in his palm regretfully and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, my parents love you so much. Let's go down first, okay? If we don't go down, my mother might suspect that I bullied you."
Knowing that he was teasing her and trying to make her relax, Tian Xin looked at him sheepishly and said nothing. She just smiled with her lips pursed, but she also took cooperative steps.
These made Wang Linkun hesitate. His heart trembled and even his Adam's apple rolled a little at the beautiful smile of the little girl just now.
Want to kiss
"Aren't you going down?" Tian Xin reminded him in a panic as her fiancé stared at her with a fierce look as if he wanted to bite her.
Wang Linkun looked away with difficulty and gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the car!"
