[25] His promise to her

Gao Wenjian looked at the young man and woman with eyes facing each other, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up his military cap and instructed Meng Chenhao: "Captain Meng, before returning to the army, talk to his family."

"Yes." Meng Chenjun stood solemnly and replied.

He is a battalion commander!

Ning Yunxi was very surprised. He was always too modest and didn't look like a battalion commander at all.

Moreover, he is so young and is the battalion commander. The officer standing next to him should have a very high level, with golden epaulettes. Isn’t he a general?

Think about it, when a general goes to a soldier's house, he can feel that this soldier is very extraordinary.

"Brother." Meng Chencheng walked over and grabbed the green military pants he wore.

Looking up to the elder brother in military uniform like this, I feel that the elder brother is so tall, like a mountain.

"Xiao Wu." Meng Chenhao, who squatted down and looked at his sister, felt a sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu. He originally said that he would send Xiao Wu to school and after school every day."

"It's okay. Brother, I will give Xiaowu." Meng Chenjun walked up and said, looking at his elder brother's green military uniform with his little eyes as admiringly.

The eldest brother is the pride of their family. Although the eldest brother is very low-key, he will not say that he will deliberately wear military uniforms and come out with excitement when he comes back.

"I believe you can help me and take good care of Xiaowu." Meng Chenhao's big hand touched his younger brother's head, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Ning Yunxi standing beside him. Next, he found the new stationery he bought with his two children: "This--"

"Teacher Ning said, my brother bought it for us." The two children rushed to answer. They did not accept other people's things for no reason.

Did she say that? Meng Chenhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ning Yunxi again.

Ning Yunxi was embarrassed by his eyes: "It was originally--" It was what she should have done to repay him for saving his life.

Meng Chenhao saw the shame on her face, and couldn't help but smile and said to the two children: "You guys do your homework first, I have something to talk to Teacher Ning."

"Xiao Wu, come here. Brother is going back to the army, we should feel honored." Meng Chenjun pulled his sister away righteously.

Meng Chencheng was a little reluctant to leave, but when he saw Ning Yunxi nodding to him, the little girl seemed to have figured out something. She turned her head and followed her fourth brother, muttering with her little mouth: "As long as Teacher Ning is there, it means that the eldest brother is there too. Teacher Ning and the eldest brother are together."

Ning Yunxi really didn't expect the child to misunderstand what she said so much. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground. She glanced at him secretly. She just watched him turn his military cap and looked at her. Ning Yunxi nodded and followed him out.

The two walked to a distance at the door of their house, and there was no one passing by around them.

"Well, Teacher Ning."

"Why."

"Thank you for everything you did for our kids."

"No, no, this is what I should do as a teacher."

"But no matter what, it's my selfishness. I always feel that those two children cannot live without you. Can you continue to take care of them after I leave?"

Ning Yunxi raised his head and nodded cautiously: "You don't need to say this, I will do this."

Her sincere eyes made a heartstring in Meng Chenhao's heart tremble suddenly.

Thinking of what Gao Wenjian said to him, yes, he should do something.

Defending the country does not mean abandoning family members, nor does it mean abandoning the person you love.

He wanted to protect her mood, and to protect his family, together.

He could not imagine that she would leave him and his family without her. So when he made a selfish request, her promise was enough to make him excited.

He took a big step forward suddenly.

Ning Yunxi was stunned for a moment and didn't react at all. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

His two hands stretched out suddenly heated her shoulders, and this wraparound seemed to release something that had been restraining in his heart before. Ning Yunxi didn't dare to move, and her heart was also beating faster and she was inexplicably throbbing.

"Wait for me to come back."

He said four words to her ears.

"Yes." Ning Yunxi tried hard to suppress the excitement in his voice.

His hands let go of her, and when he stood one step away from her, he raised one hand straight to the edge of the military cap and saluted her.

Commitment, his promise, his promise to her as a soldier.

Ning Yunxi looked at his green military uniform with both eyes. She would definitely never forget this scene in her life.

The military car parked on the side of the road honked its horn at this time.

It was almost time, he turned around and walked quickly towards the military vehicle.

At the same time, a soldier who got off the driver's seat of the military vehicle ran to Ning Yunxi and handed a note: "To our political commissar, please call this if you have any questions."

Ning Yunxi took the folded note with both hands, opened it slightly, and saw a phone number inside, nodded and said, "Don't worry."

"Thank you, comrade." The soldier also saluted her.

Ning Yunxi looked over the military vehicle and could see the political commissar sitting in the military vehicle. He quietly placed his hand beside the military hat to pay tribute to her. Ning Yunxi stood there without saying a word, standing there, watching the military vehicle leave with respect.

After the military vehicle drove a distance, Gao Wenjian said to Meng Chenhao: "It seems like a good girl, is she a teacher?"

"Yes." Meng Chenhao replied.

"Our troops charge on the front line, which is inseparable from the selfless support of countless people in the rear. We want to thank them!"

"yes!"

The green military vehicle gradually disappeared from sight, accompanied by the spectacular and beautiful sunset over the city. Ning Yunxi rubbed his fallen hair with his hand, turned around and walked back to Meng's house.

When the two children saw her come back, they swept through their little eyes a little uneasy.

"Teacher, you won't leave us, right?" Meng Chencheng said with his little hand holding Ning Yunxi's hand.

"Yes." Ning Yunxi promised to the two children that she would do her best to protect and care for the two children when he was away.

At one point later in the evening, Meng Chenxi came back.

"Sister Three." Xiaosi and Xiaowu shouted.

"Brother is gone, you must be obedient." Meng Chenxi said to his younger brother and sister.

"Does the third sister know that the eldest brother is gone?" Xiao Si asked.

In the morning, when Meng Chenhao received the notice from the army, he told Meng Chenxi immediately. Because after he left, everything in the family would be maintained by Meng Chenxi. Meng Chenxi did not expect that the relatives of Uncle Meng's second uncle were ruthless and even said that he could accept her, but would not accept Xiao Si and Xiao Wu.
