After two years of marriage, the officer husband can’t stand it any longer.

It has been particularly cold these days on the border. Although soldiers shovel snow every day to clear the roads, if the current bad weather continues, the snow shoveling speed will not be as fast as the snow, and it may be difficult to ensure the smooth clearing of the roads. .

Although the conditions for patrolling on the border are many times better than training in the field, during the patrol, the snow was thick up to the knees, and every step required a lot of effort, but we still persisted day after day. Walking day and night, I dare not relax at all.

The weather was ten degrees below zero, and the breath turned to ice. The cold wind was like invisible knives, penetrating into the body, causing pain.

"Lao Lu, do you want to eat dumplings?"

Yuan Ye threw a piece of mutton in front of Lu Nanchen. He frowned in disgust. He would rarely eat mutton unless absolutely necessary.

"Don't be so resistant. I'll marinate it with ingredients later to make sure there's no mutton smell. The climate here is harsh, and the mutton can provide enough heat to withstand the cold."

Lu Nanchen still backed away: "You can eat it yourself, it's rare to have a day off."

Yuan Ye looked at the drawings on his desk and mocked: "Oh, which beauty is this? It belongs to a ghost and a snake."

Lu Nanchen covered the drawings with books and drew them for fun. Yuan Ye was really bored.

"You're a hard-to-maintain guy. I won't consider the mutton stuffing, but can I do it with eggs?"

Lu Nanchen finally raised his head and said angrily, "I owe you."

Yuan Ye grinned: "Then you owe me a lot... Okay, I won't argue with you. After today's meal, Guo Feng will come to take over my job. I'm leaving. You Take care..."

"With you gone, Guo Feng has to look miserable again, like an old woman..." Lu Nanchen tried to lighten the atmosphere.

"There is nothing we can do. There is an emergency at home. If we don't leave and get caught in a snowstorm, we might be too late." Yuan Ye answered with a playful smile, no different from usual.

Lu Nanchen unconsciously turned his head and glanced at the falling snowflakes outside the house, lost in thought. The weather was getting worse year by year, and it was common for heavy snow to close the mountains.

"How's the situation lately?" Lu Nanchen stood up, took a glass of hot water and drank it in one gulp.

"What else can I do?" Yuan Ye replied honestly: "It's not a big move."

"Well, who did the other party send to negotiate?"

Yuan Ye: "It's not clear yet. Just wait patiently. Have you made a plan for the actual combat exercise?"

Lu Nanchen nodded: "It's done. The soldiers here are harder working and have gone through many hardships. They are all qualified soldiers."

Yuan Ye patted Lu Nanchen's arm: "Okay, let's not talk about my thoughts. I'll make some dough and make some hot dumplings for you. I can still go back to celebrate the New Year."

He proudly showed off to Lu Nanchen, but was ignored by Master Lu. He knew that he couldn't go back, but he still deliberately mentioned it. Isn't this a prick in the heart of people's hearts?

At noon, the snow seemed to lighten a little, but due to road problems, Guo Feng was two hours late.

"Uncle Lu, Uncle Yuan." Guo Yumeng greeted warmly. Her long hair was cut into a medium-short length, reaching Guo Feng's waist.

Yuan Ye idly pulled Guo Yumeng's Erha hat: "I've grown taller again."

Guo Yumeng said with a smile: "I am ten years old, of course I have to grow taller."

After a few words of greeting, Yuan Ye picked up his luggage and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."

Several people nodded to each other, and Guo Yumeng waved: "Goodbye, Uncle Yuan."

"goodbye!"

After the car disappeared on the road, Guo Feng and Lu Nanchen looked away.

"Uncle Lu, this is what Tangtang asked me to hand over to you." Guo Yumeng took out a picture album from her school bag.

A rare smile appeared on Lu Nanchen's stern face: "Thank you Guoguo."

"You're welcome."

He opened it and took a look. It was a picture drawn by his little baby, with crooked Chinese characters and Chinese pinyin.

〖baba, I can write zi〗

Most of the words at the back are replaced by pinyin, and many of them are even wrong. The pictures are all cartoon characters, and there are all kinds of strange underwater worlds.

Lu Nanchen felt warm in his heart. After closing the picture album, his expression returned to calm: "Guoguo, did you eat anything on the way? When traveling on the plateau, salt supplement is essential."

Guo Yumeng shook his head: "I'm used to it. I lived with my father for a few years when I was young, so I won't be high-spirited."

Guo Feng smiled and touched his daughter's hat: "Let's go, it's cold outside, let's talk inside."

…………! !! !!

Yuan Ye arrived at the station and took a car to the airport. It seemed that the flight would not be delayed.

The journey was uneventful, and he landed at Beishi Airport at 7:20. His brother was waiting for him outside.

"Brother, come and drive. I just got my driver's license a few days ago. It didn't rain when I came here. I'm worried about slipping." Yuan Shao handed the car key to him.

Yuan Ye took it and said, "Okay, okay, I'll drive."

The two brothers got in the car, and after the car started, Yuan Shao started chatting about family matters: "Brother, let me tell you first, my eldest aunt has asked you to introduce several blind dates to you."

Yuan Ye responded with a smile while driving: "Introduced several of them? I remember that the seven aunts and eight aunts at home rarely care about me."

Yuan Shao shrugged: "I find it strange too, maybe because you are doing better now. I heard that girls in the city like rich men."

"Then they will be disappointed. I am just an ordinary soldier with no money."

Yuan Ye said this deliberately, including that he was already in a high position and didn't mention anything about his family.

Yuan Shao chuckled: "Brother, don't be humble. How can an ordinary soldier stay in the army for such a long time? You must be holding some kind of position, right?"

Yuan Ye smiled: "Really not, I have been kept in the army because..." He paused, thought of an excuse and continued: "I am an ideological instructor, mainly doing ideological work, so I am relatively stable. , I can keep doing it until I’m about forty years old.”

He didn't want to have too much contact with those top relatives.

"What kind of girls did those aunts introduce to me?"

Yuan Shao: "There are doctors, teachers, bank clerks, and an artist. The eldest aunt said that those girls all have good family backgrounds and are all beautiful."

"Well, that sounds pretty good. Have you seen their photos?"

"I took a look, and they are indeed beautiful, but..." Yuan Shao hesitated, "I think they all came because of your status. I heard that you are a senior officer, and their attitude has changed."

Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "I wish I were a senior officer. Who did you listen to?"

Yuan Shao stared at his face and replied: "It's just what those aunts and uncles were talking about. They were just guessing. Because you haven't been retired, they thought you were doing well."

Yuan Ye turned his head with some embarrassment: "When our family was in trouble, they were quick to hide. They said that I was poor and had no future in my life... It is true that they were right. I had no future."

He has been in the army for fifteen years. He has struggled all the way and worked his way out...

Yuan Shao: "Brother, don't pay attention to what they say. I admire you very much. You are the hero of our family."

If his elder brother hadn't provided for him to study, he would have dropped out of school and gone to work. . .
