My name is Xiao Ming, and I am a young man born in the 95s. When I was a child, I always longed for that handsome military uniform, and I was determined to dedicate my strength to the country. When I grew up, I resolutely joined the army and became a soldier of the People's Liberation Army.
In the army, I trained hard, was strict with myself, and was determined to become a good soldier. However, as I got older, my parents began to worry about my marriage. They asked people to introduce me to people, hoping that I would start a family as soon as possible.
On this day, I received a letter from my parents, saying that they had found a good partner for me, the daughter of the village chief of a neighboring village. I was stunned and thought to myself, "The daughter of the village chief? Isn't that the eldest lady? I'm a soldier, can she take a fancy to me? "Although I had doubts, I decided to go home and have a look.
When I got home, my parents warmly dragged me to meet the village chief's daughter. Along the way, my heart raced, expecting and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the village chief's house, a sweet-looking and elegant girl appeared in front of me. Her name is Xiaofang, and she is the daughter of the village chief.
The two of us hit it off at first sight and had a great conversation. Xiaofang does not have the frame of the eldest lady, but is very approachable. She expressed her admiration for my dedication to the military and said that she had always dreamed of marrying a brave soldier. I was secretly happy in my heart, and I felt that I really found the right person on this blind date.
However, in the process of getting along, contradictions and conflicts also follow. The village chief did not agree with our relationship, believing that the life of a soldier was unstable and could not bring happiness to Xiaofang. And Xiaofang's family is also worried that she will suffer with me. In the face of pressure, Xiaofang said firmly: "I love him as a person, not his identity." As long as we truly love each other, we will be able to live a happy life. ”
At our insistence, the village chief and his family finally agreed to our marriage. However, just as we were preparing for our wedding, a sudden mission broke my life. I was ordered to return immediately to an urgent mission.
Before leaving, I said to Xiaofang guiltily, "I'm sorry, I may have to postpone the wedding." Xiaofang said goodbye with tears in her eyes, encouraging me to go on a mission with confidence, and she would wait for me to come back.
During the mission, I fought bravely and made many meritorious contributions. Finally, the mission was successfully completed, and I returned with honor. At this time, Xiaofang and her family had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. We hugged each other tightly, tears of happiness streaming down our faces.
After this twist and turn, we cherish each other even more. Finally, with the blessings of relatives and friends, we walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand. And I also promised to protect her for the rest of my life and give her happiness.
Time flies, and our love has withstood the test of time. Today, we have children and grandchildren and live happily ever after. Looking back, I worked hard for my country and love, and now I am full of happiness. I know that this is inseparable from Xiaofang's support and companionship. And she has also become my strongest backing.
Life after marriage was not always smooth sailing, and the tasks of the army sometimes forced me to leave my hometown, Xiaofang and the children. Every time I go on an expedition, Xiaofang always sends me to the door strongly, with reluctance in her eyes, but an encouraging smile on the corner of her mouth.
That day, I had just returned home from a long day on duty. Xiao Fang looked at me, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Xiao Ming, you are always running around like this, and I also know that this is the duty of a soldier, but the family also needs you, and the children are asking when their father can play with them." ”
My heart tightened, and a sense of guilt for my children and family came to me. I took Xiao Fang's hand and said sincerely: "Xiao Fang, I know that you have suffered all these years, and when this break is long, I will definitely accompany you well." ”
Not long after, the army gave me a transfer order, and I was transferred to teach at a military academy closer to home. Xiaofang was overjoyed by the news, and the children excitedly surrounded me to ask questions.
The days at the college were relatively peaceful, and I had more time to spend with my family. Every weekend, I take my children on outings to enjoy rare parent-child time. Xiao Fang will also join us, her laughter is like a spring breeze, warm and infectious.
One weekend, our family came to a wooded area. The children were running and playing in front, and Xiaofang and I slowly walked behind. I looked at her side face, and a warm current welled up in my heart. At this time, Xiao Fang suddenly stopped, looked at me seriously and said, "Xiao Ming, do you think we are happy?" ”
I shook her hand and replied affectionately, "Of course, with Xiaofang and the children by your side, this is my greatest happiness." ”
Xiao Fang smiled, her eyes flashing with happiness: "I'm just worried that this kind of day will not be too short, and you will be transferred away again, and you will leave us again." ”
I felt a pain in my heart, knowing that Xiaofang had never let go of this worry over the years. I hugged her tightly and said firmly: "Xiaofang, no matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to protect this family, protect you and the child." Our happiness will not be diminished by distance, but will only be deepened by our persistence. ”
As the days passed, our children grew up and began to have a life of their own. Xiaofang also continued to run our small family by my side, warm and harmonious. I understand that no matter how things change in the world, with Xiaofang by my side, I have a strong backing, endless courage and strength. Our love, like that wood, has gone through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and is still tenacious and full of greenery.
As time passed, the children left home to study, and only me and Xiaofang were left at home. Our lives have become more and more peaceful, but in this tranquility, we have found more ways to get along. Xiaofang began to learn gardening, and kept the yard at home in good order, with flowers blooming all year round, and the garden was full of fragrance.
One morning, I woke up to find Xiaofang already up and busy in the yard. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the picture was as beautiful as a painting. I walked up to her and asked softly, "Xiaofang, got up so early to get busy?" ”
She looked up and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile: "I want to grow some vegetables in the corner of the yard, self-sufficient, and fresh." I looked at her dirty hands, and a warm current surged in my heart, this is my Xiaofang, hardworking and simple.
During that time, we often worked together in the yard, talking about the growth of the children and reminiscing about the past. Until one day, I received a special letter, it was a recall order from the army. I looked at the letter in my hand, and my heart was mixed.
Xiao Fang noticed my strangeness, walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong, Xiao Ming?" I handed her the letter, and she was silent for a long time. Then, she raised her head, although there was reluctance in her eyes, but more understanding and support: "Xiao Ming, you go, this is your responsibility." With me at home, you can rest assured. ”
I hugged her tightly and felt her strength and warmth. At that moment, I understood that no matter where I went, Xiaofang was my strongest backing.
When I embark on this journey again, my state of mind is different from before. Whenever I miss my family, I think of Xiaofang's busy figure in the yard, and think of her sentence "I am at home, you can rest assured". This longing has turned into a driving force for me to move forward, making me more courageous in my mission.
At the end of the mission, I returned with honor. Xiao Fang greeted me at the door, her smile still as warm as ever. The children also went home, and our family sat around the yard and enjoyed the joy of reunion.
That night, in the courtyard under the stars, our family talked and laughed. I looked at Xiao Fang, and my heart was full of gratitude. She is not only my wife, but also my comrade-in-arms, my partner. In the days to come, we will continue to move forward hand in hand and face the ups and downs of life together.
As the years go by, our hair is getting gray, but our love is getting stronger. Xiaofang is still planting flowers and vegetables in the yard, while I, by her side, quietly guards this tranquility and happiness. We know that no matter how the years change, as long as we support each other and understand each other, our love will be like the flowers in the yard, blooming all year round and never withering.
Time passed quietly unconsciously, and our yard became the envy of the surrounding neighbors. Xiaofang's gardening skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the yard is full of flowers, and the scenery is different throughout the year. And I, too, found a new passion in my work at the Military Academy.
One fine afternoon, I was sorting out my teaching materials when I suddenly received a phone call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Ming, I'm Lao Zhang, do you remember me?" I was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Lao Zhang, it's you!" It's been a long time, why do you think of me? ”
Lao Zhang is my old comrade-in-arms, and we developed a deep friendship many years ago when we were on a mission together. He smiled and said, "Xiao Ming, I am coming to your city to do business recently, and I want to get together with you." How's that, do you have time? I readily agreed: "Of course, there will be time, and then we will catch up." ”
A few days later, Lao Zhang arrived as promised. We sat in the yard and chatted over tea. He looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and couldn't help but admire: "Xiao Ming, your yard is so good, Xiao Fang is really a capable and good wife." I smiled and nodded, "Yes, she's the baby of our family." ”
In the chat, Lao Zhang mentioned that he now works for a military technology company, specializing in the research and development of new military equipment. I listened with relish and became intrigued by his work. Seeing this, Lao Zhang suddenly proposed: "Xiao Ming, are you interested in joining our team?" I think you're a good fit. ”
I hesitated for a moment, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and looked at Lao Zhang's expectant eyes. I know this is a rare opportunity, but I am also reluctant to leave Xiaofang and this warm home. I turned my head to look at Xiao Fang, who was busy, and she seemed to feel my gaze and raised her head to smile at me.
I made a decision in my heart and said to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, thank you for the invitation, but I still want to stay at home, accompany Xiaofang, and enjoy our peaceful life." Lao Zhang nodded understandingly: "I understand, family is also very important. However, if you want to change the environment one day, feel free to join us. ”
After Lao Zhang left, I returned to the yard, looked at Xiao Fang, who was pruning the flowers and plants, and walked over to hug her gently. She raised her head, her eyes full of doubts: "What's the matter, Xiao Ming?" I smiled and replied, "It's okay, I just want to hug you and tell you that with you, I have the whole world." ”
As the years go by, our hair gradually turns gray, but our love grows stronger. Xiaofang is still planting flowers and vegetables in the yard, while I, by her side, quietly guards this tranquility and happiness. We know that no matter how the years change, as long as we support each other and understand each other, our love will be like the flowers in the yard, blooming all year round and never withering.
