After getting on the train to the capital, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie slept peacefully in the carriage. It would take two or three days to arrive anyway.
One day and one night later, Lu Yao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the familiar scene outside the car, her eyes gradually becoming misty.
Duan Mingjie was frightened, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "I'm fine."
"Then why are you crying?"
Lu Yao sniffed and nestled into Duan Mingjie's arms, "My home is not far from here."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie held her on his lap and said in a gentle voice, "Are you homesick?"
All in all, Lu Yao hasn't been back for more than a year.
Lu Yao hummed.
"When we come back from the capital, I will go back with you. We have been married for so long, and it's time for me to meet my father and uncle. I just want to bring the piece of Yuan Datou to my uncle."
Although my mother is the late mother, my father is my real father.
Lu Yao did not agree immediately, "Let's talk about it later."
In her previous life, her father and his wife knew what happened to her in Duanjiacun, so they turned around and left. To this day, she still remembers her father's disappointed look at her.
Later her uncle found out and wanted to take her home.
But she didn't have the courage to see her uncle.
In the end, she threatened her uncle with death and forced him to go back. Later, Duan Mingjie became the boss and took her back.
After resurrecting her life, Lu Yao still dared not face her uncle. If her uncle knew that she was married to Duan Mingjie, he would definitely feel sorry for her and make things difficult for Duan Mingjie.
So, let’s wait and see.
Duan Mingjie didn't know why his wife and her family were at odds with each other, but if she didn't want to go back, he wouldn't force her.
"Okay, whenever you want to go back, I will take you back at any time."
At this time, a man wearing a military uniform walked in.
The man was tall, wearing a military cap, and had to lower his head when he came in. He measured 1.9 meters tall.
Lu Yao quickly got down from Duan Mingjie's arms and sat aside with a blush.
The man didn't seem to notice them and sat down opposite.
As if there was a kind of magic, Lu Yao and the man's eyes met without warning, and Lu Yao's heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with cold eyebrows, a high nose, a tight jaw, and a pair of dark eyes like a cheetah in the dark, sharp and ruthless. The military uniform made him even more majestic, but he looked a bit decadent.
Especially the shoulder straps on his military uniform, which are decorated with two thin blue bars and three star emblems. If Lu Yao guessed correctly, this man should be an Air Force colonel!
As soon as he came in, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie noticed a sense of oppression, but for some reason, Lu Yao felt that there was still a sense of familiarity and closeness?
The man was stunned when he saw Lu Yao.
The girl has an oval face as big as a palm, beautiful eyes with a lively look, and a small and straight nose, as if he has returned to the day he first met her twenty years ago.
Thinking of this, the man's eyebrows softened and he took the initiative to say hello, "Hello."
Duan Mingjie held Lu Yao's hand and looked at the man warily.
Lu Yao had a natural admiration for soldiers and smiled at the man, "Hello, uncle."
The man smiled gently at Lu Yao, "Are you going on a long trip?"
Lu Yao smiled, "Yes, I have nothing to do at home. Come out and see the great rivers and mountains of our motherland."
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this to be the reason, and raised his lips and smiled.
"It's good. While you're young, come out and see more. When you get to my age, you won't be so angry anymore."
Lu Yao said softly, "Uncle looks like he is in his thirties, still young."
Hearing this, the man laughed heartily, "I'm fifty."
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie were both stunned. Lu Yao was surprised, "I can't tell at all. I thought you were about thirty-five years old."
The man took off his hat, revealing the white hair on his forehead, "You are no longer young."
Seeing the white hair on the man's forehead and the long scar that was just covered by the brim of his hat, Lu Yao's heart suddenly hurt. It came without any warning or even reason.
Lu Yao suppressed her strange emotions. She probably admired the soldiers too much, so she felt distressed when they saw them grow old.
"Uncle, are you in the Air Force?"
The Air Force was very powerful in this era. He was still a colonel, so he must have made many military exploits, as evidenced by the epaulettes and scars on his head.
The man nodded, "Yes."
Lu Yao had a look of admiration on her face, "You are amazing, you are our hero."
The man twitched his lips. Once he wanted to be a hero for his country, and then he wanted to be a hero for his country and her. Unfortunately, he lost her.
Seeing that he was not in a high mood, Lu Yao said nothing.
The man suddenly asked, "Little girl, where are you from?"
Lu Yao: "My home is in a small village in Chen City. It's about an hour away from Chen City."
After speaking, Lu Yao found that the man's eyes brightened for a moment, and then dimmed again.
Lu Yao blinked, not quite understanding why he reacted this way.
"Boss."
At this time, a man also wearing a military uniform came in. When he saw him talking and laughing with the two people opposite him, he was immediately dumbfounded.
When had his boss ever been so kind to strangers?
He, Zheng Weiguo, is the living king of hell in the army!
He had never seen him laugh before. In his mind, Zheng Weiguo always frowned. This was the first time he saw him smile today.
Zheng Weiguo glanced at him lightly and returned to his usual calm self-control.
The guard quickly placed a document in front of Zheng Weiguo, "Boss, this is your thing."
Zheng Weiguo hummed lightly, "You can go out."
The guard retreated, and before leaving, he glanced at Lu Yao.
Could it be that the boss has fallen in love with this little girl?
But this little girl looks young!
Lu Yao glanced at the portfolio and looked away, and never spoke to Zheng Weiguo again.
When he arrived at the hotel, Duan Mingjie went to buy food. Before leaving, he turned around and asked Zheng Weiguo, "Uncle, do you want me to buy you one?"
Zheng Weiguo shook his head lightly, "No, someone will come to deliver the food in a moment."
Duan Mingjie nodded and left.
Duan Mingjie looked at him, and Zheng Weiguo looked at Lu Yao, "Is this your lover?"
Lu Yao hummed.
"You two look a little..."
Zheng Weiguo paused for a moment, as if he couldn't think of the right word, "Accident."
Anyone can see that Duan Mingjie is not worthy of Lu Yao.
Lu Yao looked like a child from a wealthy family.
Lu Yao smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "The ancients said that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Although my man looks a bit fierce, he is very kind to me, very responsible, courageous and knowledgeable. , is also the object of my affection.”
Hearing Lu Yao's defense of Duan Mingjie, Zheng Weiguo pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry."
"My uncle is a soldier. My lover's father and his eldest brother are also soldiers. They just died. Otherwise, maybe you can still know each other."
Hearing this, Zheng Weiguo sat up straight. He didn't expect Duan Mingjie to have such a life experience. He said sincerely, "His family members are all admirable."
Lu Yao didn't like others to look down on Duan Mingjie, "If the eldest brother hadn't left, he wouldn't want his mother-in-law to lose another son and join the army."
