Wei Jianwei's troops belonged to the Capital Military Region. He Xiaoyun took Wei Yuanhang on the train all the way to the north and finally arrived at the station in the evening of the next day.
She was holding the child in one hand and the luggage in the other. As soon as she stepped on the platform, a gust of wind blew on her face. The north was colder than the south, and the bleak autumn mood in the wind was already obvious.
"Is it cold?" Xiaoyun squeezed the child's hand.
Wei Yuanhang shook his head, holding a piece of candy in his hand, he leaned close to her side, looking at the crowd with curious big eyes.
People were coming and going on the train platform, He Xiaoyun looked up, there were moving heads everywhere, and the sky was about to darken, her whole body was enveloped in gray tones, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Several people squeezed over behind her, and she hurriedly protected Wei Yuanhang, but she was squeezed aside for several steps. Fortunately, someone held her arm in time to prevent her from falling.
"Thank you—" He Xiaoyun raised her head to say thank you. After seeing the person who came to help, she felt relieved, and her face revealed a little bit of joy, "You're here."
"Dad!" Wei Yuanhang ran over and hugged the other person's legs, and soon, he opened his mouth: "Daddy, hug."
Wei Jianwei was dressed in a military uniform, and his upright posture was eye-catching. He bent down to hug Wei Yuanhang, and freed up one hand to carry He Xiaoyun's luggage, "I'll carry it."
"I'll do it myself." He Xiaoyun shook her head, but she couldn't hold back Wei Jianwei, so the luggage was picked up by him.
When he lowered his head, Xiaoyun saw his side profile. His features looked more brave than usual with the military uniform on, and his body was full of sharp vigor.
He Xiaoyun couldn't help thinking that the person in front of her seemed to be different from the one who had always spoiled her at home before.

The three of them left the station. Along the way, Wei Yuanhang kept talking, "Mother and I take the train. It's so long and fast! Oooooh—the train is leaving!"
Wei Jianwei nodded twice from time to time to show his response, and then turned his head to talk to He Xiaoyun: "Are you tired?"
Of course, He Xiaoyun's tired. They have been on the train for two days and one night, she can't get proper rest. She also had to watch Wei Yuanhang carefully to prevent him from running around.
"A little bit." He Xiaoyun nodded.
Wei Jianwei originally planned to take the two to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. Seeing the tired look on his wife's face, Wei Jianwei changed his mind and went directly to the family area to settle down.
The family area was separated from the battalion area, apart from a few guards, no one was encountered along their way.
The house allocated to them isn't big and the decoration is nothing new, but it's very clean. Wei Jianwei put down the child and the luggage, he let He Xiaoyun sit for a while and went to get hot water.
The boiling water room was outside. When He Xiaoyun heard him walk out, a female voice called Wei Jianwei to stop.
"Old Wei, is your family here?"
Wei Jianwei’s answer wasn't heard clearly, but the other party continued: “Liqiang mentioned it to me that day, and I remembered it. It’s so late, surely they haven’t eaten yet? I’ve saved a meal for them, I will bring boiling water later. Tell your family to have a good rest, this sister will come back tomorrow to disturb them."
Before long, Wei Jianwei came back with boiling water, holding a few aluminum lunch boxes in his hand.
He Xiaoyun got up and went to the kitchen to look for the plates and chopsticks, and decided to ask him: "Who was that just now?"
Wei Jianwei gave her a brief introduction.
There are three infantry battalions in their regiment. The commander of the first battalion is called Wang Liqiang. The one who just spoke is his lover. The commander of the second battalion is Lin Yuefei. His family is still in his hometown. Wei Jianwei is the commander of the third battalion.
He's the youngest of the three. From the total age of the other family wives, He Xiaoyun is also the youngest. In addition, there are also families of several deputy battalion commanders living in the army.
Xiaoyun pinched her index finger, it seems that there are not many people who she needs to deal with in the future.

Opening the lunch box, there's rice, vegetables, and meat inside. The fragrant braised meat is oily and greasy, it whets people's appetites greatly.
After traveling all the way here, He Xiaoyun didn't have any appetite, but after smelling the meat, her belly immediately sang the empty city plan. (Her stomach growled in hunger.)
"It smells so good." Wei Yuanhang sniffed like a puppy.
He Xiaoyun set aside a small bowl of rice for him, and another bowl of meat and vegetables, and let the child eat by himself with a spoon.
The three of them sat at the table and ate alone for the first time. In the past, they have a lot of family members. He Xiaoyun finally understands a little bit of what He Xiaofen said before. The small families here close their doors and won't care about how others live.
Small family.
He Xiaoyun repeated the two words in her mind again and couldn't help but look up at Wei Yuanhang and then at Wei Jianwei.
Wei Yuanhang was trying harder to fight for more food. He didn't notice his mother's sight, but Wei Jianwei looked up almost when she turned her gaze at him.
"Is the food not to your appetite?" He asked.
"No." He Xiaoyun shook her head, "This sister's craftsmanship is very good."
"Let's hurry up, I'm a little sleepy."
He Xiaoyun lowered her head to concentrate on eating to show her determination to ignore the man's gaze. Wei Jianwei looked at her for a while before continuing to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Wei Yuanhang's eyelids flicked, his head drooped lower and lower, when his head was about to drop into the bowl, his little head suddenly lifted up again, in the next second, he stuffed a spoon into his mouth. After taking a bite of rice, his lips squirmed, and then his head began to droop again, lowering and lowering, and so on.
To eat the food, the child really struggled with sleepiness.
He Xiaoyun looked at the funny scene and stepped up to solve her son's problem. After helping the child eat the remaining few mouthfuls of food, she went to the duffel bag to look for clothes and towels and wash him.
While she settled the child on the bed, Wei Jianwei also washed the dishes and chopsticks.
When there's no child’s voice in the room, it was a lot quieter, and the dim light flooded the room. He Xiaoyun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After walking two steps back and forth in the room, she asked him: "Well...Is there a shower room here?"
On the train last night, He Xiaoyun can't wash and felt dirty.
Wei Jianwei nodded, asked her to take a change of clothes, and then took her to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor, and provided hot water.
In a strange place, people tend to feel insecure. He Xiaoyun locked the door, washed up quickly, put on clean clothes, opened the door carefully, and stuck a head out ahead.
Wei Jianwei stood not far away, staring at her with dark eyes.
"You—" He Xiaoyun almost bit her tongue, "You have been standing here?"
Then the sound of her bathing has been heard!
Wei Jianwei's reason sounds very legitimate: "I'm afraid you won't remember the way back."
It's just a straight-through corridor, how could He Xiaoyun not remember it?!
He Xiaoyun's face burned red. Actually speaking, the sound of taking a bath, it's all just the sound of water, it doesn't matter who hears it, right? But still, she felt awkward in her heart, she felt weirdly ashamed to think of him standing outside just now.
However, him standing there means that no outsiders will come over, He Xiaoyun is a little relieved when she thinks about it this way.
Xiaoyun carried her changed clothes and walked back sullenly. Not long after her face was washed, she felt dry. This place was much drier than Qingshuihe, so she had to put the facial moisturizer given by Wei Jianwei last time.
During this time, Wei Jianwei kept looking at her.
He Xiaoyun tried her best to find something to say, "Last time you sent the moisturizer home, Mom had been ranting about it for a long time. She said that she was too old and she wouldn't dare to wipe such a fragrant thing to her face."
Wei Jianwei hummed, "How is the house?"
"Very good. The harvest this year is great. At the end of the year, we should be able to distribute more food. I have finished reading all your books. I told you about the early birth of the first sister-in-law's baby, right? Everyone was terrified. Fortunately, both the mother and daughter are safe. Did you know? Xiaoyuan put his little sister to sleep. He looks like an older brother."
He Xiaoyun took out her daily necessities on the duffel bag and started wiping moisturizer on her skin, after finishing and turning around, she almost bump into a tall figure.
He Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped back. The composure that she had built before was gone, and her heartbeat jumped out of her chest quickly, "What are you doing standing so close?"
Being so close, she felt that he might even smell the scent of the cream on her face.
Wei Jianwei slowly raised a hand, and He Xiaoyun's heart also lifted up. The hand approached her face without touching it. She felt that her face was already red.
"There's an eyelash." Wei Jianwei said, and took that eyelash off the tip of her nose and showed it to her.
He Xiaoyun stared at the tip of his finger, speechless.
Then she realized that the other party was teasing her again, He Xiaoyun punched him in embarrassment, "Go away, go far away from me..."
"What do you think I am going to do?" Wei Jianwei asked with his mouth bent upwards.
"Who cares about what you're going to do?! Go away a little further, I'm going to sleep!" He Xiaoyun looked angry.
Wei Jianwei didn't leave. He looked at the fingertips that had touched her skin just now and rubbed his thumbs, and his mouth said, "It's very fragrant."
No matter what it is, Xiaoyun can't listen anymore, this guy is playing hooligan again! This stinky hooligan!
He Xiaoyun picked up a comb and threw it over, "Shut up!"
Wei Jianwei caught it with one hand, and returned it to her with a grin, saying: "You should go to bed first, I'll go wash up. You don't need to wait for me."
Who is waiting for you?! Your face is thicker than the foot basin! (Shameless.)
After he left, He Xiaoyun muttered in her heart while making the bed.
Regarding the issue of sleeping on different beds or in the same bed, He Xiaoyun had thought about it before coming. It was inevitable, but there was still Wei Yuanhang. As long as the little kid sleeps in the middle, she believes that stinky man won't be able to make a move!
When Wei Jianwei came back, she had already laid down on the inner side, and the child was sleeping in the middle, leaving him on the outer side.
He Xiaoyun closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her ears were upright. When she heard the movement of him packing up his things, turning off the light, and coming over and lying down on the outside, she couldn't help but cheer up in her heart. She could sleep peacefully!
He Xiaoyun was happy in winning the battle for a while and forgot that the child is short, only occupying the upper half of the bed, the lower half is still spacious for the two adults.
He Xiaoyun swayed her foot and accidentally bumped into someone, her foot was immediately caught by the other person. Her foot was pressed together with a larger leg, and she couldn't pull it out. (T/N: (￣︶￣) )
He Xiaoyun shrank her shoulders, stopped humming, and went to sleep. I will avenge this grievance tomorrow.
