The due date is in May of the following year, so it is a very long process.

After Lou Xi returned to the army, he failed to take time to go home for a long time. During this period, he went out to perform two tasks. The arduousness of the task was slightly smaller than what he had experienced before, but he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, because he led the new ones with the old and five of them were recruits in the team of nine people.

Last year, the group of new recruits have been becoming more mature after devil training and struggle, but they are still inexperienced and need more tempering. As the training tasks need to be strengthened and aggravated, their combat capabilities have been significantly improved. However, training and actual combat are completely different. A truly excellent special forces soldier needs to break through the siege in battles again and again. Every battle is a transformation of life.

By leading the new with the old, they united and helped each other and completed the task successfully, but this is not the end. After they come back, they have to summarize the problems exposed in the battle, analyze, summarize, correct them one by one... and then re-enter the new combat mission.

Ye Xingchen basically spent this period in bed. In Han Fengyi's words, the child in her belly was even more troubled than Sun Wukong, and the whole family was in chaos. After giving birth, he would definitely be a little bully.

When the baby in her belly was six months old, Ye Xingchen's belly was obviously bigger and it was not convenient to move. The winter in Beijing was particularly cold, and the road after the snow was slippery, so she didn't dare to go out easily.

But the doctor said that doing proper exercise will help future childbirth, so I still have to do some activities every day, but there are people accompanying her every time. Even if she just walks around the yard, Han Fengyi and Mrs. Lin were worried and rushed to support her.

Ye Xingchen said that she was not that spoiled, but they didn't listen to her. Han Fengyi even gave up her job and didn't go to the company if she could. Every day, the secretary brought documents to her home to sign. Mrs. Lin even prepared fish soup, chicken soup, bone soup at all times... Ye Xingchen complained secretly, but for the sake of the little guy in her belly, she could only drink it as medicine.

I just drank another bowl of crucian carp soup. Ye Xingchen leaned against the head of the bed, stroking his round belly. In the room, he still looked like he was when he left, and the word "Happy" was still attached, but it was a little faded. There was a small crib next to the big bed.

Although the baby is still several months away, everything is ready at home. The baby's bed, quilt, clothes, hat, shoes... has been bought all, and even a lot of toys are prepared.

Ye Xingchen felt that although she was a little hard-working, she was extremely happy.

Ring--

The landline at the head of the bed suddenly rang.

Because of pregnancy, it was not convenient for her to use her cell phone anymore, so her mother-in-law asked someone to pull a wire and connect her to the landline. Every weekend night, the phone would ring, morning or evening, but it would always ring.

She bent her eyes and gently picked it up, "Hey..."

"Xingchen, how are you doing? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Lou Xi's anxious voice came clearly through the microphone. He got out only after something happened in the army today, which was a little later than usual.

"Fortunately, my situation has improved much this week and I won't vomit so much anymore." Ye Xingchen held the phone in one hand and gently stroked his bulging belly with the other hand.

"Do you have a better appetite?"

"Well, I can eat it these two days." Ye Xingchen said embarrassedly.

Lou Xi was happy after hearing this and asked with interest, "What have you eaten?"

"I just drank a bowl of crucian carp soup..." As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he heard Duanlou Xi's strange groan on the other side of the phone. She couldn't help but chuckled, almost forgot that he hated eating fish the most, let alone fish soup. If he brought the bowl of soup just now, he would probably vomit even more than hers.

Lou Xi's fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, and her heart was a little turbulent, not because of eating fish, but because he thought that his star was so hard alone, but he was not by her side, let alone chicken soup, even a glass of water could not be poured for her.

On the day he got on the train, there was a couple opposite him. The woman was pregnant, but her physical condition was much more stable than Xingchen. But her husband was still very nervous and took good care of his wife along the way. Even the apples were peeled and cut into small pieces to feed them into their mouths. But the woman was still not satisfied and scolded the man at all times, but the man just smiled foolishly and told him that women had a bad temper when they were pregnant, either intentionally or could not control them.

But for so long, every time she called, Xingchen was gentle and tender, and she didn't complain to him. He didn't know if she really had no temper or forced herself to stop sending her. In fact, she had the right to blame him, or even scold him.

Through the phone, he couldn't see her expression, so he couldn't help but wonder, does she cry secretly every time she put down the phone?

Ye Xingchen changed his hand and took the phone, then reached out his other hand to get the sour plum on the bedside table, and couldn't help but hold one.

At the end of the words, Lou Xi heard the sound from her mouth and smiled knowingly.

Because he was in the military camp, he did not allow videos, and she was pregnant and could not contact the computer, so since they parted, they had to contact each other by phone, and each call was not long, but for two people, such communication was particularly warm.

Every time the baby does a checkup, she will mail the photos to him to witness the baby's growth. Although express delivery is very convenient, the letters entering the special brigade need to be screened and reviewed layer by layer. When the photos are in his hands, the baby has actually grown a lot, but it will not affect his excitement at all. Looking at the b-ultrasound photo, the small ball has become a child bit by little. He wishes to leave everything behind, fly back to her, touch her belly with his own hands, and feel the curve of life.

But reality is reality, reality is that he cannot leave.

There were countless nights when he couldn't sleep all night. He ran to the playground alone, ran round after round, and couldn't count how many meters he had run, until he was exhausted, and ran until he lay directly on the ground and looked up at the sky.

The two stars in the sky look so close, but they are actually very far apart and invisible.

"By the way..." Ye Xingchen suddenly stopped eating sour plums, wiped his hands, and asked with a little hesitation, "When will you come back? Lou Yi and Rao Rao are about to get married. Can you come back to attend the wedding?"

During these days, everyone was very busy, but they were happy to enjoy it. The wedding of Lou Yi and Shu Rao was finally on the agenda. They could have been faster, but because Lou Yi's troops always had something to do, Shu Rao's grandparents moved again, and Shu Jing was a recruit, and there was basically no holiday. In addition to her pregnancy, the Lou family was already very busy. After comprehensive consideration, they decided to put the wedding date in February and found someone to check the day. The 14th was an auspicious day, and it happened to be Valentine's Day again, which was a double happiness.

Lou Xi thought about his life, and the possibility of going back was not high, because during the period when he and Xingchen were about to do IVF, he had already taken some leave, and later he took wedding leave and annual leave together. Now there is no chance. Moreover, the C Military Region is about to conduct a military exercise, so he has to lead the team to participate in it himself. This busyness is probably going to be day and night again.

"I'll try my best." He could only say this, because he was really unsure.

◎◎◎

Shuxin Cake Shop.

Although it was already evening, Shu Rao had not yet rested, and the business of the cake shop was getting better and better after it opened. Recently, she has delayed some orders because of her busy wedding matters. Moreover, she has always been empty in her heart these days, so she dare not let herself be idle.

The troops had seasonal training, and Lou Yi led the team to Inner Mongolia. It had been more than ten days and had not called her a single call.

Although he repeatedly assured her that this was just a routine exercise and that it would take countless times a year, and there would be no danger, she was still very worried.

This kind of training was common for him, but for her, it was the first time she had experienced it. Although he had been busy for many days before, he went so far this time. She knew that many things were military secrets, so she didn't dare to ask too much, but he went to the vast prairie and the weather was so cold now that she was really worried.

But it was useless for her to worry. The environment there was probably too bad, so she couldn't even call her mobile phone. She couldn't contact her for so many days, but she couldn't ask anyone. Although she was not a formal military wife, she learned a lot from Aunt Lou and Xingchen during this period. She could only turn her nervousness and worry into silent prayers and blessings, hoping that he would come back safely as soon as possible.

The feeling of waiting was very bad. Every day was like a year. She felt like she was like the cake in the oven. She roasted it slowly with a warm fire and would not burn all at once, but she would feel tormented.

In order not to make her think about it, she tried hard to keep herself busy. In fact, she was really busy. Not long ago, she helped her grandparents move home and her house was demolished. Now the two old people live in the store with her. In fact, they were actually a little worried, but when they heard that she was going to get married, they rushed over immediately.

She went back to her hometown to pick up her grandparents in person. That day, there was something wrong in Louyi's army and he couldn't go with her. However, before she set off, he personally called her grandparents and invited them to Beijing to attend the wedding.

Grandpa and grandma were very moved by this. Their wish was actually very simple. They wanted to see her get married happily with their own eyes. This wish was enough.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the wedding date to arrive.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside the roller shutter door.

"Niu'er, open the door, it's me!" the little devil's voice.

Shu Rao laughed when she heard the sound. The little devil was on vacation and often came to her store to play. Sometimes she could also act as a waiter. Her little mouth made her coax the customers to ears and even attracted many repeat customers for her!

"Here's here!" She quickly put down the work in her hand and turned around to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the little devil crashed in like a locomotive and said hurriedly, "Niu'er, my dad was injured during the training!"

"What?" Shu Rao's face suddenly turned pale.

At this time, Xiao Jiang, the guard who sent the little devil, spoke, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to her mysteriousness. Brother Lou Yi was just a little bit of minor injuries, it's okay!"

Shu Rao held the apron tightly, not knowing who to believe, took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and asked as calmly as possible, "What the hell is going on?"

Before the guard could speak, the little devil said first, "I heard from Wang Xiaoming that his grandfather is Political Commissar Wang. Political Commissar Wang is definitely right. My father was injured in Inner Mongolia. He would not let them tell their family members, especially not to tell us both!"

When Shu Rao heard this, he felt a little cold. He must have been seriously injured!

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Lou Yi is really nothing big. I've inquired about it just now. He just got injured his arm, not serious!"

Shu Rao nodded stiffly, but she could never let go of her heart.

The little devil sent the guard away and said he would stay in the cake shop tonight to sleep with her. The guard comforted them several times before leaving.

As soon as the guard left, the little demon immediately put down her backpack, rushed to the counter, took some cakes and pudding, packed them in, "Niu'er, get ready quickly, let's go immediately!"

"Get out, go?" Shu Rao was still a little embarrassed.

"Yes! Let's go see my dad!"

The little devil's idea was right in Shu Rao's mind. Without thinking, she followed her action. She took out her backpack, quickly packed up some luggage, prepared some food and drinks, and went upstairs to tell her grandparents that of course, she would not say that Lou Yi was injured, but only said that she would go to the military compound to stay with Xingchen for two days.

In less than ten minutes, the two of them finished packing and rushed to the train station with panting in the cold wind.

When the train started, Shu Rao's rationality slowly got back a little. Was she too impulsive? She didn't understand anything and got on the train? She didn't even know where he was training! But if she didn't go, she would definitely be unable to sleep or eat!

Just as she was thinking, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was the landline of the military compound.

"It must be my grandma!" the little devil said confidently.

Shu Rao's nerves immediately became tense again, afraid that he would hear some bad news, so he nervously answered it. It was indeed Han Fengyi.

"Mom..." Since she met her in-laws, she began to change her words.

"Rao Rao, I just asked someone to go and inquire. Lou Yi is really nothing wrong, don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Rao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her mother-in-law must be as worried about Lou Yi as she did, so she must be unable to make any mistakes.

"I...I understand..." She couldn't help but feel ashamed. If her mother-in-law knew that she was already on the train, she would be so embarrassed!

"Okay, then there's nothing else. You and Xinxin should go to bed early, don't be too tired!"

"I know mom, you can rest early."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Rao was full of heart. What should I do now? Should I continue walking, or get off at the next stop and turn back?

The little devil blinked and was a little stunned.

The two looked at each other, and they had no idea, but they saw the desire in each other's eyes, and they still wanted to go!

But the little devil's reason became very ridiculous, and he said thiefly, "Niu'er, I heard that the whole roasted lamb on the prairie is delicious! Have you ever eaten it?"

Shu Rao couldn't help laughing and shook her head, "No."

"Then let's go and eat!" the little devil said excitedly, looking jealous.

Shu Rao rubbed her furry little head and felt loving, but she was an adult after all, so she naturally thought more. "Xinxin, let's just go there like this, there will be no problem, right?"

"No, I know where my dad is training. Then we can follow the map!" The little devil took out the small note in his pocket. It is said that it was a "military secret" that Wang Xiaoming secretly copied from his grandfather's study.

Shu Rao looked at the "map" and felt a little scared. Is this a messy painting accurate? Don't get lost then!

"Niu'er, don't worry, I'm carrying a compass!" The little devil took out her magic weapon from her pocket again.

Shu Rao took the compass and tried it. It was not bad. The train is now heading north, and the opposite direction is south, and the pointer is pointing just south!

She took the little devil's backpack and checked it carefully. There were knifes, lighters, flashlights, etc. inside. It can be seen that this child is a master who may run away from home at any time!

The little devil laughed and said in a pleasing way, "I had that kind of idea before, but now how can I bear to leave you?"

Shu Rao pinched her cute little face, "Okay, let's act as planned!"

The little devil cheered, long live!
Chapter completed!
