The two children gathered around, and she had no chance to ask further questions. As soon as the firecrackers were set off, Mother Lu put the hot dumplings on the table.
Tangxin and Feichen received a lot of lucky money and were sitting on the kang, arranging red envelopes in a long queue.
Halfway through eating the dumplings, the small house was packed with people from the village who came to pay New Year greetings. Everyone knew that the capable son of the Lu family was back, and some of them even brought their own children to Lu Sheng for inspection.
Mother Lu was busy greeting the guests and happily listened to everyone talk about her son's family. For the old man, this Spring Festival was something she would never forget.
After finally seeing off these enthusiastic villagers, the sound of firecrackers outside gradually became quieter, and Tangxin had fallen asleep in Luo Xi's arms.
Several adults were still awake and chatting until late at night.
Because Lu Sheng had to rush back to the army the next day to pay condolences to the officers and soldiers, he could only spend one night here with Lu's mother. Although the reunion was short-lived, it was finally a happy and prosperous year for the whole family.
The two little guys obviously hadn't had enough fun yet, and they were obviously a little uninterested on the way back.
"Mom, will we come to grandma's house again?" Tangxin asked dully, nestled in Luo Xi's arms.
"Of course, because this is where dad grew up."
"Did dad start growing when he was my age?"
Luo Xi smiled, "Since I was a baby."
"How old is the baby?"
The little guy's One Hundred Thousand Whys started again, and Luo Xi answered her questions tirelessly, until her attention was attracted by a few old cows outside the window.
The time she spends with her daughter is getting shorter and shorter, and she must cherish the precious seconds left.
Lu Sheng went directly to the army. This was the first time in so many years that he did not celebrate the New Year there. Those officers and soldiers who stayed in the army and could not go home to celebrate the New Year were still fighting on the front line, always protecting the safety of the country and the people, and at any time
Difficult and dangerous tasks await.
Luo Xi took care of the two little ones and returned to their room to rest. Seeing them falling asleep, she picked up the phone and returned to her room. There was a number stored in it, which was told to her by Zhou Huiyi, a stranger on the other side of the ocean.
Number.
She was sitting on the bedside, holding the phone in her hand. The screen of the phone went on and off, then off and on again, over and over again.
She had obviously made up her mind before, but the short happy time yesterday made her miss her so much. Once she left, we would be separated from each other. I'm afraid it would be difficult to see her child and him again in the future. However, if she didn't go, he would die.
Fortunately, she has concealed it very well until now. She really tried her best to deceive Lu Sheng. Fortunately, he had been staying in the army before and was very happy on New Year's Eve, so there was no time to be sentimental.
, otherwise he will definitely notice the clues as time goes by.
The phone lit up again, and she exhaled, seeming to have made some determination, and pressed a series of unfamiliar numbers on the screen with her slender fingers.
After the call was connected, there was no ringtone from the other party, just a very monotonous beep.
Luo Xi kept clenching her fists, her palms full of sweat, and her distracted eyes fell on the snow-white wall, waiting was so unbearable.
For a long time, so long that she wanted to hang up happily, when suddenly a clear and soft voice came from over there, in standard Japanese, "Hello."
Luo Xi recognized Kondo Feng's voice, and the "you" made her subconsciously swallow.
When he didn't get an answer from the other party, Kondo asked again out of politeness: "Hello, who is this?"
Luo Xi opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
"This is China's phone number. Are you..." He immediately changed to English, vaguely guessing something.
"Mr. Kondo, my name is Luo Xi." Luo Xi finally gritted his teeth and said his name, his voice was very small, almost timid.
The other side only hesitated for a moment before hearing his laughter, "Long time no see."
The Chinese New Year is also very lively in the army. In the early morning, leaders come to pay homage and raise the national flag, and then there is the party in the army. The programs are all carefully rehearsed by everyone, including cross talk, singing and dancing, and even magic and acrobatics. There are some in the Spring Festival Gala.
Yes, it is a non-fall.
Lu Sheng sat in the audience and enjoyed everyone's performance. Even with a thousand-year-old iceberg face, he was amused by the soldiers from time to time. For example, he was included in the allegro on stage.
The little warrior held the bamboo board and spoke vividly.
The first day of the new year is really lively. We sit together and talk and praise our special forces. Out of the ordinary, elites emerge.
There is a young man named Lu. He is born not to believe in fate. He does not rely on heaven or earth, but relies entirely on his own backbone.
Climbing Gun Mountain and descending to Thunder Sea, wherever the difficulty comes, there will be difficulties.
He is our good military commander, and he is a good husband to his wife. If you want to ask me his surname, his name is Lu Sheng.
The audience below burst out laughing, and along with the warm applause, Lu Sheng also laughed. These soldiers are really capable.
The atmosphere of the party was in full swing, with climaxes coming one after another. As I said just now, elites emerge from the ordinary. When these soldiers stood on the stage, they were no less talented than those singing and dancing stars.
After the party, they made dumplings together, and a group of old men picked up leeks in the canteen. There were so many troops, and three small carts were loaded with vegetables alone.
Lu Sheng and Xu Chuanyang went to the canteen to help. He said he was helping, but in fact he couldn't make dumplings at all. Xu Chuanyang had a pair of skillful hands with a gun. The dumplings he made were used as reference models by the soldiers.
According to the rules in the army, the canteen will be used to cook food for whichever class can make the food quickly. So everyone speeded up their actions, and everyone’s face was covered with white cabbage leaves, accompanied by each other’s teasing laughter and joy.
The atmosphere makes people temporarily forget about "thinking about loved ones more during the holidays".
After eating dumplings, everyone can watch the live TV broadcast in the auditorium. Lu Sheng and others returned to his small courtyard, and the orderlies prepared sumptuous food and wine for the good brothers to celebrate the New Year together.
The members of the Ghost Soldiers gather together for a reunion dinner every year, and this year is no exception. Firecrackers sounded outside, and everyone raised their glasses to wish a happy new year.
The banquet had not yet ended, Fatty and Xu Chuanyang were drinking together as usual, while Ye Hanxuan was watching the fun, adding fuel to the fire from time to time.
Zhou Huiyi got up and walked outside the house. A spark flickered in the cold night. Lu Sheng was standing under the moonlight smoking. When he heard footsteps, he put out the cigarette in his hand.
"It's cold outside, why don't you wear some clothes?" Zhou Huiyi was caring and considerate, holding his coat in her hand.
"It's okay, come out and get some air." Lu Sheng turned around and took the clothes she handed over, "It's okay, go back."
Without waiting for her answer, he strode back, obviously avoiding personal contact between the two of them.
Zhou Huiyi looked at his thin and solemn back, biting her thin lips. When he had just stepped through the door, she raised her voice, "It's New Year, won't you give me a gift?"
