Tian Hua Three Musketeers

"Honey, have you been tired of training lately?" Is it snowing, is it cold? I want to go to you again..." At more than 1 a.m., Zhou Xiaoxin, a military sister-in-law who had just participated in the online course for civil servants, looked at her mobile phone and rubbed her sore shoulders, and the WeChat that did not reply once again threw her thoughts to the northwest border of the motherland.
In 2016, Ma Juntao and Zhou Xiaoxin, who were still in college, should not have had any intersection, but thanks to the fact that they liked to participate in extracurricular club activities organized by the school. In this way, they met and knew each other in the vast sea of people, and after several months of mutual understanding, the two soon established a romantic relationship.
In 2017, Ma Juntao graduated from university, for the dream of military school in his heart, he resolutely chose to enlist in the army with a pen and a pen.
On the day of parting, Zhou Xiaoxin went to the airport to send him off, and she was not good at words, she looked at her lover affectionately, had a thousand words in her heart but hid it deep in her heart, and stuffed the ring she usually wore into Ma Juntao's hand.
Time passed minute by minute, but the couple held hands but did not want to be separated for a long time.
When Ma Juntao followed the receiving team and walked into the security gate, Zhou Xiaoxin, who was in the distance, choked up with tears: "Do a good job in the army, I am waiting for you!" ”。
Since then, they have opened a long love "marathon".
When he first arrived, from the shores of the Bohai Sea to the Desert Gobi, when he first arrived at the military camp, the tense life of the recruit company made this northeastern man a little uncomfortable, and the water and soil dissatisfaction also made him feel homesick.
Twice a week, the 10-minute landline call can not be full of heartfelt, so the two of them through the ancient "flying pigeon book" to write love, in just three months, exchanged dozens of letters, the letter full of concern and encouragement once again let Ma Juntao regain confidence.
"This is my school note, which is marked with red pen..." On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xiaoxin repeatedly told me in a serious voice.
In March 2020, after Ma Juntao applied for the military growth officer exam, Zhou Xiaoxin ran to many bookstores around his home to buy learning materials for him, formulate a study plan, and help him answer the doubts encountered in his studies through WeChat videos many times.
Fate sometimes likes to "tease people". When Ma Juntao learned that as a promotion line, he was only 0.1 points away from the admission line, he instantly felt that his dream was shattered, and the whole person was like losing his soul, listless all day long. "If you can't be a cadre, be a good soldier." Although Zhou Xiaoxin's words were brief, they deeply touched Ma Juntao's heart.
In September of the same year, he submitted an application to the party branch of the company to stay in the team, successfully selected a sergeant and followed the unit to the snowy plateau to participate in the exercise mission.
In January 2021, after 1203 days, Ma Juntao took his first vacation, and he still remembers the moment he got off the plane and walked out of the terminal.
After calculating the time of Ma Juntao's "landing", Zhou Xiaoxin took a car to the airport early in the morning, half an hour passed, 1 hour passed... Although the weather in the minus 20 degrees Celsius was cold, her heart was warm.
"Flight TV9879 is about to land, pick up passengers' friends..." When the broadcast came from the radio, the petite and exquisite she tiptoed and looked forward to it, when she saw the "Dark Horse Prince" mixed in the crowd in the distance, Zhou Xiaoxin threw an arrow into Ma Juntao's arms, and the two hugged each other tightly and shed tears of happiness.
After the promulgation of the newly revised "Several Regulations on the Administration of Marriage among Military Personnel," the two sides decided to prepare for the marriage after soliciting the opinions of their parents.
In May 2021, Zhou Xiaoxin, who had never been out of the country alone, packed up her luggage, packed a white veil, carried a household registration book, brought Ma Juntao's favorite hometown specialties, bought a ticket from Shenyang to the station, and planned to register her marriage with Ma Juntao in the army.
The ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, when Zhou Xiaoxin's flight arrived in Xi'an for transit, due to the epidemic prevention and control policies in various places, this plane full of love was "stranded" in Xi'an.
After learning that he could not go to the lover's station, Zhou Xiaoxin's eyes were moist, and tears wet the collar. The next day, strong, she packed her bags, looked in the direction where Ma Juntao was, carried a heavy bag, and took a flight to her hometown.
"If you can't do it once, then do it again..."
In June 2021, Zhou Xiaoxin resolutely embarked on the journey of pursuing love again, although she was fully prepared, but the bumps along the way still gave this northeast girl a "dismount".
Acute gastroenteritis came unexpectedly, vomiting up and down diarrhea, but stubborn and stubborn, she clenched her teeth and endured the pain. In the end, after several turns, he finally came to Ma Juntao's unit.
"Xiaoxin, marry me, I am willing to shield you from the wind and rain for the rest of my life..." In the unit guest house, Ma Juntao knelt on one knee, took out the ring he personally polished, and formally proposed to Zhou Xiaoxin.
"I do, I do." Zhou Xiaoxin frequently nodded and wore a ring of love, and at that moment, the two looked at each other and smiled.
At about 19:20 on June 25, 2021, in front of the counter of the Resident Civil Affairs Bureau, Ma Juntao and Zhou Xiaoxin both solemnly pressed their bright red handprints on the marriage registration form.
At this point, this love "marathon" spanning more than 4,000 kilometers and 1833 days has finally reached the end...
"If you can't be a soldier, it's worth it to be a military sister-in-law!" On the way back, Ma Juntao has been holding Zhou Xiaoxin's hand, the bright smile reveals the joy of the heart, and the sunset shines on them, pulling the shadow very long...
