In a small snow-covered town in the northeast, I, Huang Jianguo, grew up. Life here is calm and monotonous, and most people choose stable jobs and never leave the town.

But I have different dreams in my heart and a desire to explore the wider world. Even though my parents wanted me to stay in my hometown, find a stable job, and live a stable life, my heart was filled with a longing for the unknown.
On the eve of my decision to join the Frontier Army, my childhood sweetheart, Shen Xiaoxiao, suffered the biggest blow in her life - her mother died.
Xiaoxiao's family is poor and cannot afford the funeral. In this icy winter, I decided to help her in any way I could. Not only did I use my little savings to help Xiaoxiao buy the necessary items, but I also managed the funeral myself.
At that time, I knew that true friendship is about reaching out when you need it most.
In the barracks on the frontier, I experienced the most difficult years of my life. The cold climate and rigorous training are challenging my limits every day. But every time I receive Xiaoxiao's letter, the loneliness and exhaustion in my heart seem to dissipate temporarily.
In her letters, she told me about the news of the town and about her own life. Instead of leaving the town, Xiaoxiao began teaching at a local elementary school, lighting up the children's future in her own way.
My correspondence with Xiaoxiao has become the warmest part of my life in the barracks. Her words were always simple and sincere, as if they could soothe my soul across the distance.
And I also shared my military life in the letter, which was difficult but also full of fulfillment. Time passed quietly in the exchange of letters, and my heart gradually understood that Xiaoxiao played an increasingly important role in my life.

One spring a few years later, I received a special letter from Xiaoxiao. She writes that she is about to participate in a teacher training program, which is a major turning point in her career.
Her letter was full of excitement and anticipation, and I could feel her hopes and dreams for the future. I am proud of her, and at the same time I feel an indescribable joy, because her happiness seems to have become my happiness as well.
As time went on, our letters became more and more intermingled with each other's concern and concern. My performance in the military was gradually recognized, and I began to take on more responsibilities and tasks.
Despite my busy schedule, the first thing I do when I return to camp after a mission is to write to Xiaoxiao to tell her that I'm okay and ask how she's doing.
And her replies always arrived when I needed comfort the most, and she was full of support and encouragement between the lines. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and my military life is coming to an end.
In the past ten years, I have grown from a young man to a mature and stable soldier. Xiaoxiao has grown from a fragile girl who lost her mother to an excellent teacher, and her life is full of confidence and vitality.
Although we are far apart, our hearts are getting closer and closer. I began to look forward to returning to the town and reuniting with Xiaoxiao. A few months before I was about to leave the military, I expressed my hopes and plans for the future to Xiaoxiao in a letter.
I told her that I wanted to go back to town, get a job, and live a quiet and fulfilling life. I also mentioned my wish to build a warm home with her.

Xiaoxiao's reply was full of tenderness and anticipation, and she said that she had been waiting for this day to come. When I stepped on the train home, my heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
I'm about to end not only my military career, but also a new life that I'm about to begin. I know that Xiaoxiao has become an indispensable part of my life, and I want to be her support and a source of happiness.
The day we returned to the town, the sun was shining and the air was filled with the familiar scent of grass and trees. I stood at the exit of the town station, my heart filled with both nervousness and excitement.
As soon as I turned around, I saw that Xiaoxiao was already waiting for me in the crowd, with a smile on her face that could not be concealed. We almost ran closer to each other, hugged each other tightly, and at that moment, all the waiting and loneliness seemed to disappear.
In the days that followed, we walked around the town together, revisiting the old places and sharing stories and changes from the years.
I showed her my medal of honor in the army, and she showed me around the school where she taught, where the children's eyes were full of love and dependence on her. I saw Xiaoxiao's pride and sense of accomplishment as a teacher, which made my respect and love for her even deeper.
Deep down, I knew I had to express deeper emotions to her. One evening, we walked together along the familiar creek in town, starlit and breezy, and I stopped and looked deeply into Xiaoxiao's eyes.
My voice carried a hint of nervousness and expectation: "Xiaoxiao, for so many years, no matter where I am, your shadow has always accompanied me." I can't imagine my life without you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

I pulled out a simple ring from my pocket, which I had specially made for her with a few months' salary. Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with tears, and her lips trembled slightly.
After a long time, he said softly: "Jianguo, I have waited too long for this day." Yes, I do. When she put the ring on her finger, we hugged each other tightly, and our hearts were filled with hope and happiness for the future.
At that moment, the night sky of the town seemed to celebrate us as well, with the stars twinkling and reflecting our smiles. It's a new beginning, not just the pinnacle of our relationship, but the beginning of our life together.
I know that in the days to come, no matter the wind and rain, we will face it together, because our love has passed the test of time and has become indestructible.
The day of the wedding finally arrived, and the whole town gathered to send us their blessings. On that sunny afternoon, Xiaoxiao and I had a simple and warm wedding in the old church of the town.
We stood arm in arm in front of our friends and family, exchanging vows and pledging to never leave each other in good times and bad. At the sound of the church bells, we step out of the church and a new life officially begins.
This is not only a triumph of love, but also the most beautiful reward for waiting and commitment. From now on, we will face every challenge of life together and overcome all difficulties with love.
My story tells everyone: true love is worth waiting for, and it will come with the deepest warmth at the most casual time.
