Chapter XVIII
The night is like a light veil shrouded in the earth, and the occasional flash of light is like a diamond dotted on it, quiet and beautiful
"Please note that you are about to arrive at the terminal, please be ready to get off" As the announcement on the radio sounded, drowsy and listless, everything turned into relief and the joy of reunion
"Smile, nothing was left behind"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I've taken all my things, and I won't forget them" Li Xiao looked at the big bag on his grandfather's back and in his hand
"Grandpa, let's get out of the car later, what if you take so many things and squeeze in?"
"Okay, anyway, it's not in a hurry at this time" Li Gen looked at the crowd crowded at the exit and agreed, he was mainly afraid that his granddaughter would be squeezed in
The grandfather and grandson were almost gone, and then they walked to the exit, and when they got out of the car, they saw Li Minghui wearing a military uniform standing not far away
"Daddy"
"Smile, slow down" Li Minghui hurriedly caught the daughter who pounced on him and nodded her little nose
"Why are you so old, and you still look like a child?"
"I will always be a child in front of my father" Li Xiao didn't feel embarrassed at all, if he was still afraid of this and that in front of the closest people, how boring it was
"Minghui, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Dad, I just arrived, and it just so happened that there was something in the army to do something in the city, so I drove the car, let's take the car back now" Li Minghui took the big bag in his father's hand and stepped forward to lead the way
After half an hour's drive, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when the group arrived home, and after cleaning up, because there were only two rooms, Li Xiao temporarily slept in a room with Li Yan and Wang Xiaomei
The sky shimmered, and birds chirped in the branches. Li Xiao woke up early because he had just arrived in a new place and was sleeping with others, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Minghui was about to go out, and Li Xiao quickly whispered to stop him
"Dad, where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Xiaoxiao, I got up so early, why don't I sleep more, I just want to go to the cafeteria to eat" Li Minghui didn't expect his daughter to get up so early, you must know that it is only five o'clock
"Dad, wait for me, I'll be fine right away, take me with me, I want to go with you to recognize the way" Li Xiao immediately asked to go with her when she heard this, she already knew yesterday that her father only had two days off, so she wanted to get familiar with the situation in the compound while her father was at home
When Li Minghui heard what his daughter said, he simply sat on the chair and waited
After a while, Li Xiao cleaned up, and the father and daughter went out to the army canteen. Along the way, Li Minghui deliberately slowed down, and while walking, he introduced to Li Xiao the residents and precautions that passed by
Li Minghui's military compound is actually not big, and the highest-ranking commander who lives there is Lin Zhiheng, the regiment commander. It is said that he has a deep background, and there are people in the center, and he came to Cloud City because it is so chaotic and close to the border, and he wants to make some achievements.
In fact, if it weren't for the chaos here and the fact that there were military conflicts from time to time because of the proximity to the border, how could Li Minghui have nothing to do with a rural boy and have no connections, how could he have been a battalion commander for a few years at the age of 32?
It was almost six o'clock in the cafeteria, and there were already many people in the cafeteria for breakfast
"Lao Li, this is your big girl, she looks really handsome" A burly man with a Chinese character face greeted Li Minghui in a loud voice
"Old Qian, your Xiaoling is not bad, smile, this is your Uncle Qian, he has a daughter who is two years older than you," Li Minghui introduced to his daughter
"Uncle Qian is good," Li Xiao called people obediently and skillfully
"Hahaha, okay, Lao Li, no wonder you praise your daughter for being sensible and well-behaved all day long, it's true, compared to the tomboy in my family, this is like a girl" Qian just remembered the lawless daughter of his family, and he had a headache
"Old Qian, don't let Xiaoling hear what you say, otherwise you will feel good, haha" Li Minghui remembered that Qian Xiaoling had done something funny after hearing her father say this, Lao Qian couldn't handle his daughter
"Eh, Lao Li, I have something to do, I'll leave first, smile, you can come to your uncle's house to play with your sister Xiaoling in the future"
Li Xiao looked at Uncle Qian's back as if he had fled in the wilderness, and suddenly became curious about Qian Xiaoling, who had never met before
The father and daughter bought breakfast in the cafeteria and went home, and met many people one after another along the way, and it was 6:40 when they went home after a while.
"Lao Li, why did you go out to buy breakfast, and blame me for sleeping too late" Wang Xiaomei looked at Li Minghui and Li Xiao who walked in, and the smile on her face was a little unnatural
She didn't fall asleep until midnight last night, and she still woke up this morning, it was already more than six o'clock when she got up, not to mention Li Minghui and Li Xiao, that is, her father-in-law Li Gen got up, doesn't it seem that she doesn't work and sleeps lazy, it's all because Li Xiao, a stinky girl, doesn't call herself when she wakes up, and she really doesn't give birth or doesn't kiss
"Well, it doesn't matter, you were also busy last night, and it will save you trouble to eat in the canteen today" Li Minghui pretended not to see Wang Xiaomei's unnaturalness, and beckoned everyone to breakfast
"Wow, Dad bought the omelet I like, thank you Dad, sister, you can eat it too"
"Eh, okay, grandpa, come and eat" Li Xiao was actually a little surprised, since yesterday she found that Li Yan has changed a lot after only half a year of not seeing her, she will be coquettish, and she will talk more, if she is like before, she will definitely not hold her father's hand and be coquettish like now, but no matter what, I hope the two of them can get along well
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a break today or go to the city with your father to buy something and recognize the school" After breakfast, Li Minghui asked about his daughter's plans
"Dad, I'm going to go to the city with you to recognize the way early," Li Xiao replied
"Dad, I want to go too, you can take Yan Yan too" Li Yan hurriedly coquettish
"No, we only have one bicycle in our house, and we can't bring three people," Li Minghui frowned and refused
"Lao Li, why don't I go to Lao Qian's house and borrow his bicycle to take Yan Yan with you," Wang Xiaomei proposed, and Li Yan immediately looked at Li Minghui expectantly
Li Minghui looked at Wang Xiaomei fixedly for a while before speaking
"We're all out, what should Dad do at home"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaomei and Li Yan immediately knew that Li Minghui was angry
"Minghui, you can go with them, Dad is tired from the car, and he has a good rest at home alone" Li Gen spoke out in the silence
"No need, the two of them have not gone to the city less, just let them accompany you at home, Xiaoxiao and I may not come back for dinner at noon" After Li Minghui finished speaking, he beckoned Li Xiao to bring something and go with him
Wang Xiaomei looked at the backs of Li Minghui and Li Xiao, and the expressions on her faces were almost uncontrollable, and it was like this, as long as Li Xiao was there, Li Minghui would always only see her in his eyes
