After eating, the three girls gathered together and chatted.

"Lu Ping, let me tell you, the mutton steamed buns made by Chu's father are delicious."

"Oh, Yueyue, this mutton steamed bun is the food from Lu Ping and the others. I'm sure everyone can make it."

"Wen Hui, you are really wrong about that. It's true that people over there like to eat this, but most people don't know how to cook it at home."

"Ah? Why?" Wen Hui was stunned. If you like to eat, why don't you make it yourself?

"It's too troublesome. If we want to eat, we have to go to a restaurant to eat. It's good to have a toothpaste once in a while. Who dares to eat it often? It's too expensive."

Wen Hui didn't expect this answer. She didn't listen to what Lu Ping said next. She only remembered that it was too troublesome.

Every time she wanted to eat something, she told her father directly. She never thought about whether it would be troublesome or not. Today, Lu Ping woke her up with a word.

This made Wen Hui feel that she was a little too selfish. Turning her head and looking through the window, she saw the figure busy in the kitchen.

After eating just now, her father said to start preparing the food that she would eat tomorrow. Why did she have to start preparing it the night before? She had never considered this problem, but now she knew.

Suddenly, she saw her mother walking out of the living room, bouncing into the kitchen like a little girl, approaching her father, standing up on her toes and kissing his cheek.

Dad's face was filled with a happy smile. Although he couldn't see her mother's expression, Wen Hui could imagine that her mother must be full of happiness.

"Wen Hui, what are you looking at?"

Lu Ping asked when she saw that she remained silent for a long time and looked straight out of the window.

Wen Hui raised her chin and gestured.

Lu Ping and Wang Yueyue followed her line of sight and looked over.

In the kitchen, Ding Qiunan stood beside him and said something unknown. Li Chu responded from time to time. He never stopped washing the mutton with his hands, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"Wen Hui, my uncle and aunt are so happy. I envy you and Wenxuan so much."

"Don't talk about you, I'm jealous of you." Wang Yueyue followed.

Upon hearing this, Wen Hui glanced at Wang Yueyue with contempt.

"Yueyue, why are you so envious? It seems like they are not your parents."

"Ah...oh, yes, hehehehehe"

Looking at the naive Wang Yueyue, Wen Hui and Lu Ping laughed out loud.

"Oh, I hate you. Why are you laughing at me?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ah...still laughing!"

The three girls laughed and laughed for a while before stopping and lying on the bed in a mess.

"Wen Hui, do your parents quarrel?"

"Quarrel? Anyway, I haven't seen it since I was so old. Occasionally, my mother will be in a bad mood, but every time for less than two minutes, my father will make her laugh."

"Ah! That's great. Why isn't our family like this? Although my parents don't quarrel, I always feel that there is something weird between them. Well...it feels like..."

After a long time, Lu Ping didn't say anything. Wang Yueyue said: "You want to say that we treat each other as guests, right?"

"Well, yes, that's pretty much what it means. But is it weird that the husband and wife are still so polite?"

Wen Hui, who was lying on the bed, sat up.

"But I read in the book that couples should hold their eyebrows together and respect each other as guests."

"No, no, no." Wang Yueyue also turned over and sat up: "Sister Hui, think about it, if Chu's father and Qiunan's mother say thank you for your hard work, and they say "you're welcome" and then say "thank you", will that happen? Would it be awkward?”

The scene described by Yueyue quickly appeared in Wen Hui's mind, making her shudder unconsciously. If her family were like that, she would die of discomfort.

"Eh~ I don't want to do that. Thinking about it makes me panic."

"Look, let me tell you!" Wang Yueyue spread her little hands.

After saying that, she turned to look at Lu Ping and asked, "Sister Ping, is your family like that?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, but it's just very polite. And I always feel that our family is very depressed. Unlike your family, which is happy every day."

Lu Ping always felt that her father was not a big official, but he had a lot of airs. He still had to show off his airs at home. Both his brothers were married and had children, so they were all submissive in front of him.

She thought of something else, looked at Wen Hui and asked: "Wen Hui, what do your parents do?"

"My father is a doctor, and my mother works in the hospital pharmacy. Don't you know?"

"Then why do they never work the night shift? And there are cars to ride in, even drivers."

"Oh, you're talking about this. My father is now the vice president of their hospital. He no longer accepts patients, so he doesn't work the night shift. My mother is the director of the Chinese medicine pharmacy."

…

Let's just say that their family will not be simple. Although she doesn't know what level it is, Lu Ping thought that her father didn't have a car yet, so she knew that Wen Hui's father's level would definitely not be low.

She looked at Wang Yueyue again and asked, "Yueyue, where are your parents?"

"They went to Southwest China."

?

Lu Ping looked at Wang Yueyue in confusion. She still didn't know what it meant to go to Southwest China.

Wen Hui saw her doubts and explained: "Yueyue's parents are on the front line."

"Going to the front line? Are they also from the army?"

"Yes, Yueyue and her whole family are from the army."

You were on the front line, fighting, why didn't they have any special reaction?

"Yueyue, aren't you worried about them?"

"There's nothing to worry about, that's their responsibility."

Looking at Wang Yueyue who didn't care, Lu Ping didn't know what to say.

But Wen Hui knew that in Wang Yueyue's heart, she was not as calm as she appeared.

She heard from her mother two days ago that she cried herself to sleep every night in the days after Uncle Wang Jun and Aunt Qiaoyun left.

Yes, that is on the front line. If you are not careful, you will be separated forever. Who might not worry, but as Yueyue just said, that is their responsibility.

Then she thought about her father again, and thought about the summer of 1976, that night when the earth was shaking, when her father rushed into the house and took her and Wenxuan out separately, and ran to the hospital without hesitation.

Then for a long time, she never saw her father again. Her mother was worried every day, and her face had long lost the smile of the past.

When she saw her father again, it was already a month later. He was unshaven, unkempt, and wearing dirty clothes. This was the father she had never seen before.
