The three of them walked towards the cinema together. Ye Xingchen was waiting there with Sisi in his arms. After the five people met, they immediately took a taxi home. Lou Yi sent them downstairs and then wanted to take the little devil back to the hotel to stay, but the little devil didn't want to
Qian said pitifully, "Dad, I want to live with my aunt and niu'er. I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow. It's my last night!"
Lou Yi had no choice but to agree. The little devil quickly hugged her beloved "Harry Potter" collection. Shu Rao also quickly took the bag of milk tea, then took out two cups and handed them to Lou Yi with a straw, "Take this back and try it."
,tasty."
Lou Yi knew that she wanted to thank him, so he took it without being polite and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Shu Rao smiled shyly, and several people said goodbye to each other. Sisi and Little Devil said goodbye to Lou Yi respectively, and then Ye Xingchen and Shu Rao took them upstairs.
Lou Yi watched them go upstairs until the lights came on in the windows, and then he bent down and got back into the taxi, heading to the hotel they had booked in advance.
After the little devil went upstairs, he immediately opened a cup of milk tea and started reading "Harry Potter" with great interest until he saw it before going to bed. As before, she and Shu Rao slept in the same room, but tonight it was a little bit different.
It was different. She was going back to Beijing tomorrow, and she felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Girl, will you miss me?"
Shu Rao turned over and faced her. Seeing the little devil's rare sad look, he gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's leave each other's phone numbers so we can contact you at any time."
The little devil immediately got up, turned on the small desk lamp, sat down at the desk, picked up paper and pen, and started writing, writing and writing for a long time.
Shu Rao couldn't help but wonder, does it take so long to write a phone number?
She also stood up and wanted to take a look, but the little devil suddenly turned around and said mysteriously, "Girl, don't come over yet. I won't show you this yet. You can look at it after I leave!"
"
Shu Rao couldn't help but frown, wondering what kind of mystery this kid was going to do again? But he still cooperated with her, smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
The little devil grinned, turned his head and continued to write. After a while, he finally finished writing. He folded the note and stuck it in the book. Then he pursed his lips and had fun, and returned to bed with a smile on his face.
Shu Rao helped her tuck in the quilt, and the two fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Lou Yi came to pick up the little devil. The little devil was still too sleepy to open her eyes, but the flight was at nine o'clock in the morning, so Shu Rao had to forcefully drag her out of bed.
Ye Xingchen had already made breakfast, and the little devil yawned while eating. Lou Yi had already eaten in the hotel and was waiting in the living room. On the side, the little devil's bag had been packed. It didn't take long, but her things
She actually added a lot, which Ye Xingchen and Shu Rao bought for her, and he was very grateful.
At 7:40, Lou Yi led the little devil downstairs. The taxi was already waiting. Before getting in the car, the little devil turned out the small note he wrote last night and stuffed it into Shu Rao's hand, "Niu
Son, you must call me!"
After saying that, he hugged her hard, then hugged Ye Xingchen, and even kissed Sisi with saliva on her face, and then reluctantly got into the car.
As the taxi drove away, Shu Rao lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand. As soon as he opened it, he immediately laughed out loud. On the big A4 paper, there was a big cat face drawn on it, with a lot of contact information written on it——
Girl, this is my home landline number. You can find me by dialing this number. However, our home phone calls are usually answered by security guards. They want to get to the bottom of things. They want to put you on political trial. It’s too troublesome, so you call my school.
The number is available, but I am on winter vacation now and the school cannot be contacted, but you can call my cram school. I plan to study English when I go back. You can call the cram school and you can find me!
Also, I will leave you the address of the cram school. If it is convenient for you, you can go directly to find me there. If I am not there, then I must have gone to recess. I usually go to the candy next door to the cram school.
Wanyuan, wow, the candies sold there are super delicious. When you come, I’ll treat you to some!
Also, if the candy house is closed, then you can find me in the backyard of the cram school. There is an alley in the backyard. The fifth store in the alley is a flower, bird and fish shop. I often go there to play, and the boss is very kind to me.
, he also gave me several small goldfish, but unfortunately I kept them all to death. I later bought a small turtle, which I still keep at home! But the turtle has to hibernate, and it has fallen asleep now, and is not doing anything at all.
Fun!
Also, diagonally across from the Flower, Bird and Fish Store is a store that sells antiques. I often go there and buy several treasures. Although it is not valuable now, it may increase in value one day. I spent five
The vase I bought for 3 yuan looks like blue and white porcelain! Maybe I picked up a big leak!
And there's more...
And there's more...
The big cat face was filled with crooked fonts, including her home number, school number, cram school number, the number of the candy store next to the cram school, the number of the flower, bird and fish shop, and the number of the antique shop.
...There are also a lot of geniuses who know where the numbers are, everything is there, and no one is left behind!
Shu Rao couldn't help but laugh out loud. In the end, there wasn't even a big cat face written on it. A small arrow pointed to the back. She turned it over and looked at it again. There was a supplementary explanation: Niu'er, when you come to me, you must
Dress nicely so I can show you off to the kids!
A small fist is also drawn at the back for emphasis.
At the end, I drew a crying face and wrote next to it: Girl, you must come!!!!!!!!!!
Shu Rao looked at that crying face, but he almost burst into laughter. Is this the little devil going to do this?
Ye Xingchen also looked at the note, and couldn't help laughing as well, and said with a smile, "Raoruo, you are going to send Shu Jing to Beijing soon, why not drop by and see her!"
Shu Rao laughed so hard that she gasped, "I have to go even if I don't come by my way, otherwise she will definitely want me all over the world. Look at how comprehensive this is!"
Ye Xingchen also sighed repeatedly, as expected of a child born among soldiers, he has the potential of a scout since he was a child!

Time passed two days later, and there were only a few days left before the Chinese New Year. Lou Xi made a phone call to Ye Xingchen during his busy schedule, saying that he could not go back before New Year's Eve, and that he would have to go to New Year's Day at the earliest.
They couldn't leave until two days later, which meant that they had to spend New Year's Eve in the military camp.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Although it was good to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, it was still a bit regretful that he couldn't spend it with his parents and relatives during the Spring Festival, a day of family fun.
Lou Xi said lightly, "It's nothing, I'm used to it. Besides, even if I go back, there may not be anyone at home."
Ye Xingchen bit her lip gently, knowing what he meant. She saw on TV that his father, the commander of the J Military Region in Beijing, had to leave the army to pay condolences during the Spring Festival, so naturally he had no time to go home for the New Year.
In addition, the little devil also said before leaving that she would go to the army with Lou Yi on New Year's Eve. Military Region J had just concluded its military exercise, and it coincided with the Chinese New Year. Some soldiers had finally got the vacation they had been looking forward to for a long time.
, the leaders specially allowed some people to go home to visit relatives, but after they left, the posts could not be left vacant, so the leaders took over one-on-one. As the chief of staff, Lou Yi naturally had to take the lead and set an example.
All in all, as soldiers, there are too many things that they have no choice but to do. Even during the Chinese New Year, during the days of reunion that the Chinese have inherited for thousands of years, they must stick to their posts. For the sake of the country, their own little
Home has long been insignificant and not worth mentioning.
What are real soldiers? They are a group of good men with perseverance, selfless dedication, and deep thoughts and concerns for their loved ones. They are the sons of so many parents, the husbands of so many wives, and the fathers of so many children.
Leaving my hometown and relatives, I resolutely chose to fulfill my mission.
What are real soldiers? They are a group of ordinary men with sincere emotions, a strong sense of responsibility, but also a normal heart. However, due to the limitations and rigidity of various conditions such as time and space, they are more like soldiers.
Helplessness and man's responsibility.
Like any ordinary person, they also want to give their loved ones a harbor that is warm and safe enough for them to dock, and they also want to stay with their parents and relatives and fulfill their filial piety and responsibility. But just by putting on that military uniform, they are given more weight than ordinary men.
As they have a greater responsibility and mission, they can only silently swallow their helplessness and sadness.
Putting on that military uniform, what is shouldered on the shoulders is not only the responsibility of a man to his family and relatives, but more importantly, the responsibility of a soldier to the country and the people. More often, they need to leave their own family and take care of everyone.
Real soldiers have taken the needs of the motherland and the people as their own responsibility, which is a natural combination of responsibility and obligation. Putting on that military uniform, they choose to pay silently.
When the phone call ended, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but burst into tears.
Similarly, Zuo Lingfeng is also busy. He is still busy dealing with matters related to Lingfeng Group. In the past few years, Lingfeng Group has done a lot of business. On the surface, the money belongs to him, but in fact
Every penny is the country's money and the people's money. He doesn't dare to be sloppy at all. Every transaction must be made clear. There are too many funds and it will take some time for him to handle them all. And among those businesses, there are many
For cross-border transactions, he must personally travel to countries such as Switzerland and go to banks to retrieve transaction records and other information. Recently, he has become a trapeze artist.
However, he did not forget Ye Xingchen despite his busy schedule. One day, when he was in Zurich, he bought a necklace for her and airmailed it back to China.
After Ye Xingchen received the gift, he immediately called him and called him several times before he got through. Obviously he was very busy.
"Brother-in-law, why did you buy me something again? It's expensive, right?" She didn't know how much the chain was worth, but it looked like it was valuable.
Zuo Lingfeng chuckled and said softly, "Although I'm not as rich as Zuo Lingfeng, I'm definitely not as poor as you think. And this is a New Year's gift for you. Do you like it?"
"I like it." Ye Xingchen responded softly. He not only liked the chain, but also liked the intention.
Because Zuo Lingfeng was busy, he hung up without talking for a few words. After putting down the phone, Ye Xingchen put the chain on her neck and measured it twice, then took out her wedding ring. The ring could not be used because it had deformed.
She put it on, but put it inside the necklace, and it could be used as a pendant. She put the necklace on and put it inside her clothes. The ring hung on her chest, bringing a bit of coldness, but it quickly warmed up.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, a hint of joy and happiness.

On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Shu Rao and Shu Jing went back to their hometown, but they couldn't spend this Spring Festival with their grandparents because Shu Jing was leaving for the J Military Region in Beijing on the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month to report, and Shu Rao also had to go.
Send him.
Normally, they should report after the Spring Festival, but because college students like Shu Jing and others who were introduced to the army as technical talents are still different from the soldiers of the combat troops, the army asked them to arrive at the military camp in advance to experience it.
The collective life, training and tests begin from this Spring Festival.
Shu Rao was very reluctant to part with her, but she had no choice. Through Lou Xi and Lou Yi, she now slowly got to know the soldiers, so she suppressed the emotion of parting and didn't say any sad words, just saying goodbye to Shu Rao.
See more encouragement.
It's really like what Lou Yi said before, Shu Jing and his group of college students will be assigned to all parts of the country, and in the Yunchuan test center, Shu Jing is the only one assigned to the Beijing J Military Region. What he has learned
His major was requested by the J Military Region by name. Shu Jing's train ticket to Beijing was bought by the army, and Shu Rao bought one with his own money.
The two of them got on the train with their bags packed, found seats and sat down. The train departed on time and arrived at Beijing West Railway Station after more than ten hours. When they got off the train, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
After leaving the platform, they immediately saw the soldiers picking up the station outside. One soldier was holding a red flag, which was very eye-catching. The other soldier was holding a document with Shu Jing's photo on it. After recognizing them, he immediately went to the station.
I helped them carry their luggage.
Behind the soldiers there were several boys who looked about the same age as Shu Jing. They also just got off the train. They came from other cities and were assigned to the J Military Region. Shu Jing greeted each other and soon
We started chatting and it was obvious that we had a lot in common.
Shu Rao couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw them talking and laughing. It seemed that Shu Jing's choice was right. In the future, he would join these comrades in the military camp to serve the motherland and the people.
After Shu Jing, the soldiers picked up another student. They counted everyone and they were all ready to go to the army.
The troop vehicle was parked not far away, a large military jeep.
Shu Rao noticed that the parents of those students had no intention of getting on the bus. Although the army would also receive family members who were seeing them off, in order to give the students more independent space, although the parents were reluctant to leave, they still left one after another.
Shu Rao thought that she should stop being special, otherwise it would cause trouble for the soldiers, and it would also make people feel that Shu Jing was not independent enough and would not have a good influence on him, so he did not get in the car and told Shu Rao
He said a few words and then watched him get in the car and leave.
The military-green jeep drove away slowly. Shu Rao looked at it for a long time. The jeep quickly disappeared into the rolling traffic. She did not slowly withdraw her gaze until it was completely out of sight.
Blinking hard, I blinked away the sourness in the corners of my eyes.
She looked at the time and saw that it was not too late. She wanted to see the little devil. Since everyone had arrived in Beijing, she should go and see her, otherwise she would be sorry for her eloquent contact information.
She took out her mobile phone and a note. She tried to call the cram school, but she got through. It was the teacher who answered the phone. She said she was looking for Lou Xinxin, but the teacher said that Xinxin was not there and had gone out to play after class. Shu Rao couldn't help but
She smiled and said it didn't matter. Anyway, as long as she knew that the little devil was in the cram school, she could go directly to the cram school according to the address.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and went to the ticket office, planning to buy a ticket for Yunchuan first and then go see the Little Devil.
But as soon as she entered the ticket hall, she was immediately shocked, my God, there were too many people here, right?
I’ve heard about Spring Festival travel every year, but I’ve never experienced it myself. The ticket hall, which is as far as the eye can see, is overcrowded. There are long queues in front of every ticket window, and some queues are even about to squeeze out of the door.
I had to turn a corner and form a snake shape.
The station staff used loudspeakers to shout back and forth to maintain order, until their voices became hoarse.
Shu Rao looked around for a long time and found that every queue was very long, so she had to find a queue at random. The people in front of her didn't move for a long time, which made her anxious. She didn't know when and what month she would be able to buy a ticket.
, and I don’t know if there will be any tickets left when it’s her turn.
Ringing——
The cell phone rings.
She didn't hear it, it was too noisy in the ticket hall.
Ringing—ringing—
The phone continues to ring.
Shu Rao realized that her phone was ringing, she quickly took it out, looked down and saw that it was Lou Yi?!
