Chapter 392 The Secret No One Knows

He Lihua...

The original plan was to let my son and daughter-in-law spend time alone, so why did I bring them along?
Looking into Jiang Tang's eyes, He Lihua wanted to refuse her, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Mom, we're not going with Grandma."

Lu Chenxi truly deserves to be called her father's sweet little darling, the kind that doesn't let anyone slip through her cracks.

If Grandma can't say something, she'll say it.

"why?"

Jiang Tang asked curiously.

Lu Chenxi explained earnestly, "Dad will be back at the end of the month, and then we will be able to see him."

"We meet once, and Mom meets once; that's fair."

Xiao Chenxi counted on her fingers and explained to Jiang Tang.

If they go to the military base with their mother, they will see their father one more time than their mother, which is unfair to their mother.

Jiang Tang blinked. So, even meeting Lu Changzheng required an assignment?
He Lihua, who was standing to the side, was amused by her granddaughter's explanation. However, because her granddaughter had started, it was easier for her to refuse.

"Yes, Tangtang, Xixi is right."

"When Changzheng returns, we will be able to see him."

"Go and take a look first, stay there for one night, and see how the family compound is doing so that we can go there in July."

“Changzheng said before that the house he applied for had been approved, but he hasn’t moved in yet. He’s probably still living in a single dormitory. You can just stay there for one night by yourself, but if a group of us go, we’ll have to spend money to stay in a guesthouse. It’s not worth it.”

Ultimately, it was He Lihua, as a mother, who understood how difficult it was for her son and daughter-in-law to be separated for so long, and tried every means to create opportunities for them to spend time together.

We've all been young once. Young, spirited men, though they may not say it, definitely long to spend more time with their wives.

This also helps to improve the relationship between husband and wife.

Jiang Tang gave a blank "hmm".

She and Lu Changzheng have a very good relationship. They don't need to make a special effort to do those kinds of things; their relationship will remain good.

But if both the mother and baby need to be alone together, then she'll go.

"I'll go next week if I'm free."

"it is good."

He Lihua was extremely satisfied.

Lu Chenxi waved her chubby hands, "Mom, don't worry about us. With General Black at home, it's very safe."

The black general, who was lying at the door of his house, twitched his ears when he was called, stopped his unconsciously wagging tail, and opened his eyes, which had been dozing, to listen.

It didn't hear its owner mention it again, so it twitched its eyelids and closed its eyes to continue sleeping.

On the Saturday of the second week of April, Jiang Tang got up early, packed a set of clothes, put a toothbrush and towel in her bag, and carried two lunch boxes containing Dongpo pork knuckle and steamed pork with glutinous rice made by He Lihua. She went out to take the bus to the suburban camp.

He Wenjing had originally planned to go with her, but unfortunately she received a notice last night that she had to work overtime today.

Therefore, she had to go alone.

However, Jiang Tang did not feel lonely or afraid.

Sitting on the bus, we slowly drove out of the city and headed towards the suburbs.

After the sun rose higher, the car became a bit hot.

Jiang Tang, who was originally wearing a long skirt with a thin cardigan, rolled up the sleeves of the cardigan.

A section of her arm, white as jade, straight and slender, was revealed.

Jiang Tang is beautiful, with delicate features and fair skin, plus a somewhat aloof and indifferent expression, making it easy for people to focus their attention on her.

I glanced at it and looked away, not daring to look any longer.

He was afraid that his gaze would offend this pure and innocent woman.

Jiang Tang arrived at the bus stop in the suburban area around 1 p.m.

After getting off the bus, I walked about 500 meters before reaching the guard post.

The guards at the post instinctively looked at Jiang Tang as she approached.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" the young soldier holding a gun asked.

Just as Jiang Tang was about to answer, a somewhat uncertain voice sounded from the side.

"Comrade Jiang Tang?"

She turned around at the sound.

When Gong Guodong got out of the jeep and saw her, his eyes were filled with disbelief and a fleeting look of surprise.

Her voice rose slightly, "It really is you!"

Jiang Tang responded with an "oh," her attitude remaining as indifferent as ever.

They did not express any particular impression of Gong Guodong.

To be honest, Gong Guodong was somewhat frustrated.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Jiang Tang is just like that; didn't he know that from the beginning?

Gong Guodong composed himself and stepped forward. "Comrade Jiang, are you looking for Deputy Lu? I'll take you in."

The young soldier who was registering Jiang Tang heard Gong Guodong's voice, looked up at him, and immediately greeted him.

"Gong Tuan".

After greeting him, he asked Jiang Tang, "Comrade, are you going in with Commander Gong? Or should we call Deputy Commander Lu to come and pick you up?"

Jiang Tang chose the latter.

Upon hearing her answer, Gong Guodong's expression visibly dimmed.

"Vice President Lu is probably in a meeting."

"I'll wait for him."

After Jiang Tang finished speaking, she wrote her name in the registration book and then sat down on a bench under a tree.

I placed the mesh bag containing the lunchbox on the stool, took a book out of my bag, and started reading.

No matter what happens outside, she can always quickly immerse herself in her own world.

At first glance, she appears to be completely isolated from the end, and whatever happens outside has nothing to do with her.

However, only those who know Jiang Tang very well know that although she seems to be immersed in her own world, she is aware of every little thing happening outside.

She just doesn't care.

Gong Guodong stood still, looked at the person under the tree who was holding a book and reading it intently, and pursed his lips slightly.

Even though he knew he shouldn't, he couldn't help but look at her.

Almost five years have passed since she carried him out of the mountains.

More than a thousand days and nights is enough for many things to change.

He had always thought that he had forgotten that thin, frail, yet exceptionally resilient figure.

Countless times in the dead of night, I've dreamt of myself leaning on that thin shoulder, simply because people have such vivid memories of the brush with death...

But only now has he realized that his so-called forgetting was nothing but a self-deceiving excuse.

Some things are silently imprinted on the soul.

Once the right opportunity arises, the seed deep within the soul will sprout and grow into a towering tree that no one can stop.

Gong Guodong couldn't help but ask himself, was it really at this time that the seed sprouted?

No, actually, there were already signs of it.

Over the course of five years, his superiors and friends introduced him to countless potential partners.

He rejected them all, citing a physical condition that prevented him from getting married and starting a family normally...

Whether his body was concealed or not, outsiders have no way of knowing.

Just like the girl who was already married and whom he secretly loved, no one ever knew about it...

"Commander Gong, Commander Gong!"
