Mi Xaing 'er was a smart person. When she heard her husband's formal announcement that he was going out, she understood what he meant. Her hand trembled uncontrollably, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
She looked at the shattered pieces on the ground and had a bad feeling. She was stunned for a second before she squatted down to clean up the mess.
Just as she bent down, she felt a shadow flash past her. Tiger was already there. He grabbed her arm and said, "Don't move! Don't hurt your hand. "
Mi Xaing 'er looked up at him and said in a daze, "It's broken!"
Broken?
It was a festive occasion. That wasn't an auspicious thing to say!
Xiao Tianxin quickly added, "Sui Sui Sui is safe. Sui Sui is safe. It's okay."
She looked around …
She picked up a broom and a small dustpan by the door and was about to sweep the floor.
Yun Laohu took the broom gratefully and said, "Let me do it."
He glanced at his wife from the corner of his eye. Although she was safe and sound, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you scalded anywhere?"
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head.
To be honest … even if she had been scalded, she didn't seem to feel anything now. Her body was numb and she couldn't move. There was only a voice in her head that was screaming crazily, "My husband is leaving." The voice was so loud that she couldn't hear the words in her ears clearly. Her reaction was a little slower.
Yun Laohu sensed that his wife was acting strangely. He pressed her into the chair and pinched her hand twice. "Hey, what's wrong? Don't scare me! "
Really!
He looked at Mi Xaing 'er's expression. His heart was beating wildly and his face was pale.
Mi Xaing 'er looked into his clear eyes. She felt his strength and warmth on her hand and gradually regained her senses. She sat up straight and forced a smile. "Ah? I'm fine. "
Xu Jingya walked over silently, took the broom from his son's hand, and quickly swept away the broken pieces of the cup.
Yun Laohu simply squatted beside his wife's legs and rubbed her knees with his two large hands. He raised his head and stared at her face. Although he did not say a word, his eyes were full of concern.
Mi Xaing 'er's heart ached as she tugged at him. "Find a place to sit down! I'm really fine! "
Second Sister Yun couldn't hold it in any longer. "Tiger, you haven't finished speaking!"
Only then did Yun Jingting stand up. He clenched one hand into an empty fist and placed it in his pocket … as if he didn't want anyone to see his struggle. "Huh? Then I'll continue! "
Xu Jingya said calmly, "Speak."
Yun Laohu smiled faintly. "Let's change our defenses. I'm afraid that Lao Wu and I will be separated. I will leave this city in five days to join a new unit. That's all!"
That's it?
A few short sentences and that's it?
Yun Jingqi raised his voice. "Then where will you be transferred to and how long will you be there?"
Yun Laohu raised his eyebrows. "This is a military secret. I can't reveal it for the time being."
Second Sister Yun was a straightforward person. She couldn't help but say, "Don't play this game with me. Secrets with your family? Tiger, tell me the truth. Are you going to … "
She quickly glanced at her mother and Mi Xaing 'er. She swallowed the words "frontline" and gritted her teeth. "Brother, you have to make yourself clear today. Otherwise, don't even think about eating or sleeping. I'll keep asking you. "
Yun Jingting smiled bitterly, but his tone was unusually firm. "Look at you … you're shameless, aren't you? Didn't I tell you before? This is a military operation! I can't say anything to anyone! "
Mi Xaing 'er knew her husband's character best. He was as hard as a rock and as cold as ice. Once he made up his mind, there was no room for negotiation.
She took a deep breath. "Forget it! Don't make things difficult for Tiger! He's already said what he should say. It's useless for us to ask what he shouldn't say! "
She stood up and raised her chin stubbornly. "I'm going to cook! Since Tiger is going out, I'll add two more dishes. Since everyone is here today, it'll be a farewell for him! "
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the house and stood on the steps outside. As the north wind blew … she felt as if her bones were cold.
The moment she walked out, everyone in the house looked at each other. No one knew what to say.
Yun Laohu looked at everyone and pretended to smile casually. "What are you all doing? The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. I'll say it again. It's just a transfer. I'm a soldier. This is a normal job transfer! Don't think too much about it! "
He walked over quickly and squeezed Xu Jingya's shoulders with his large hands. His voice was gentle. "Mom, let's celebrate the festival! Don't think about all this nonsense, okay? I'll say it again. I'm a soldier. I'll go wherever I'm needed! "
He exerted more strength in his palms and rubbed Xu Jingya's shoulders twice … There were thousands of words that needed to be said.
Xu Jingya used to be a soldier's wife and was now a soldier's mother. Of course, she knew that there were some things that she couldn't do. Although she didn't want her son to go, she couldn't say anything.
She raised her hand and held Yun Jingting's large palm. She opened it and carefully looked at his palm … His palm was wide and thick, the lines were clear, and the joints of his fingers were distinct. There were even calluses between his fingers from when he practiced shooting.
She couldn't help but sigh softly. "San 'er, I always remember when you were young, you used to arm wrestle with your father. At that time, your little hand was so big that I could wrap it with my fist. But now? You've grown up. You have the world in your hands. Mom can't control you anymore! "
She looked up and looked straight into her son's eyes. "Tiger, you're going out. I don't have anything to tell you. I only have one thing to say … Take care of yourself!"
She didn't say anything else. She gently patted his arm and said, "Go! Spend more time with your wife! "
Yun Laohu grinned and didn't hide anything. "Mom, you understand me the best. Actually, even if you didn't say this, I would still go and see her! Mi Xaing 'er definitely can't bear to part with me. She's just stubborn. She's afraid that I'll be worried, so she doesn't say it out loud! I'll go and coax her! She's just a child. I'll just tease her a little! "
Although he said this, it was to ease his mother's worries. He also understood that this matter couldn't be resolved just by coaxing.
He entered the kitchen …
Seeing that his wife was washing the vegetables with her head lowered, he immediately strode over and pulled her into his embrace from behind. He put his lips near her ear and called out, "Xiang 'er … Xiang' er …" He didn't know how to continue.
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly. She turned around and rubbed her wet little hands on his shirt. After they were dry, she raised her hands and gently stroked his facial features. It was as if she wanted to imprint every inch of this man's skin in her mind. "Tiger …"
"Hmm?"
"Tell me the truth. Are you going to the front line?"
Yun Jingting didn't know how to lie to his wife, but he didn't want her to worry either. He simply pursed his lips tightly and didn't nod or shake his head.
Mi Xaing 'er understood.
She smiled bitterly and said, "You! You hide everything from me. Do you think that I'm young and inexperienced, so you're always taking care of me like a straight man? "
Yun Laohu didn't understand. "What straight man?"
"That's not important!"
Mi Xaing 'er wasn't in the mood to explain. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her palm-sized face against his firm chest. She listened to his strong heartbeat and reveled in his thick and warm embrace. "Tiger, I won't be a burden to you!"
Yun Jingting gently rubbed his chin against her forehead. "Hmm?"
"I remember you said that you wanted to raise me into a little swallow and soar in the sky to my heart's content. I'll do whatever I want and go wherever I want. I'll return to your side whenever I'm tired, right?"
"Yes!"
"Today, I'll say the same thing to you! I want to raise you into a great bird that can spread its wings and soar through the mountains and rivers. No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, just do as you wish! You'll have a bright future. When you want to rest, there'll always be a family behind you. There'll always be me and our child waiting for you! "
Her voice softened, and she drew circles on her husband's chest with her right index finger. "I want to carve my name here. Even if you rise with the wind and soar up to ninety thousand miles in the sky, you will still have my mark on your chest. In this life, and in the next life, you will always belong to me!"
Yun Laohu felt that the woman's fingertips were magical. He could feel the heat even through his military uniform.
He sighed contentedly. "Xiang 'er, taking you away from me was the wisest thing I've ever done in my life! If time could go back a thousand times, I'd still do the same! But this time, I want to do it earlier! I should have married you the moment I saw you. That way, we might be able to spend more time together. Even if it's just a month, a day, an hour, or a minute more! I also want to be with you sooner and make you my wife! "
He didn't say anything more …
He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
