Back to the 80s, I was a military wife and was pampered by a tough guy with a pure heart.

Eight months later, winter entered and retirement season came.

Ye Ying finally knew why Ji Lianqi had fallen out with Lin Jie a long time ago.

Lin Jie is retiring this year.

At that time, Hao Yonggang inadvertently revealed to Ji Lianqi that one of their fellow soldiers was planning to retire and change careers.

There were not many people who joined the army in the same batch as him, and he guessed Lin Jie right away.

Among so many people, Lin Jie had an unusual relationship with him. He had always regarded Lin Jie as a good comrade and brother who shared life and death and shared adversity.

He tried it and gave him a chance, but Lin Jie still chose not to confess the matter to him.

Ji Lianqi was furious at the time and felt that he had been betrayed. He couldn't help but beat Lin Jie.

This was one of the few times he lost control of his emotions.

The reason why Lin Jie didn't confess to Ji Lianqi was because they both swore to each other when they were new recruits:

As long as they are alive and as long as the army wants them, they will stay in the army one more day.

But Lin Jie quietly made the decision to retire!

Ji Lianqi knew that he had no right to interfere with Lin Jie's decision to retire, and he did not take the 'oath' he swore back then seriously.

He was angry because he didn't know anything about it, and he even found out about it from other people's mouths!

But after a period of time, he gradually figured it out and began to try to understand Lin Jie, and the matter passed like this.

Lin Jie seemed to love his second wife very much.

His second wife, Chen Fang, not only treated Yueyue as her own, but also gave him endless tolerance and understanding.

Knowing that his profession was special, he didn't complain a word. He not only took good care of Yueyue, but also took care of both families.

Lin Jie was deeply moved by this and decided to treat her well.

But in his heart, he was vaguely afraid that he would follow the old path of his first term again.

As New China becomes stronger and stronger, they will eventually retire and leave the army. In the future, more and more outstanding talents will join the army and serve the motherland.

After much thought, Lin Jie decided to retire and change his career to live a good life with them for the sake of Yueyue, Chen Fang, and their future children.

When things became clear, Ye Ying looked at Ji Lianqi, who had an ugly face in front of him, and raised his eyebrows:

"I said Commander Ji, why are you so angry when someone retires because of his wife? It makes you look like the abandoned one!"

After a pause, he added: "Everyone takes a different path. It is understandable that he finally chose to return to his family. After all, not everyone can do what you, Captain Ji, do."

"I..." Ji Lianqi lightly clenched his fists upon hearing this, "I'm not refusing to let him retire, I'm just angry that he didn't say a word. That's what makes me angry!"

"Oh, okay, okay." Ye Ying put a hand on her tall belly and stroked it gently, "He will leave the army in a few days, right?"

"Ah."

Ji Lianqi felt a little depressed when he mentioned this matter.

After a few days, it may be difficult to see him again.

Ye Ying can also understand the comradeship of more than ten years.

Seeing his depressed look, she took his hand and put it on her pregnant belly, comforting her: "There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. But you still have me and the child!"

Ji Lianqi's eyes fell on her growing pregnant belly, and the haze in his eyes dissipated a lot, "Yeah. You're right."

Then, with a serious face, he changed the subject: "But you, the baby is due in two months, why are you still running to the factory every day?"

"You are so disobedient, do you want to force me to 'put you in confinement'?"

"Oh! Are you crazy?" Ye Ying clicked her tongue a few times as if she heard some big joke: "It's different that this person has been promoted to captain! He actually wants to put his wife in solitary confinement?"

Ji Lianqi glanced at her, "Who told you to be dishonest? Hu Yong couldn't be the first to step in?"

Ji Lianqi was filled with jealousy when he mentioned Hu Yong.

Even though such a long time has passed, he also knows that Hu Yong and Ye Ying are really just a cooperative relationship, but he still feels a little uncomfortable every time he thinks of them working together.

Ye Ying explained casually: "This is not the only factory I have to take care of. Hu Yong is also very busy! He also has to take care of the Red Sun Food Factory, so I can only take care of many things myself."

Ji Lianqi was immediately speechless.

"Oh, don't worry!" Ye Ying knew that he was worried about her, so she patted her chest and said, "I will be very, very careful, and I won't let anything go wrong with our child!"

Ji Lianqi just held Ye Ying's hand tightly.

Just the day before Lin Jie was discharged from the army.

Ji Lianqi had just returned from fetching hot water and was washing Ye Ying's feet.

Throughout her pregnancy, her feet were often swollen, which made Ji Lianqi feel distressed. Every night, he would bring a basin of hot water back to soak her feet, and then rub them to promote blood circulation.

Ye Ying sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the man whose eyes were full of hers, feeling endless emotions in her heart.

In the past eight months, a house and a car have been purchased.

Although they have bought a house outside, this man still likes to live here.

He always said that it was too deserted for two people to live in the house he bought. He was used to living here and could often see familiar faces.

She thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense, so she continued to live here.

It's not too late to consider moving to a new home after the baby is born.

At this time, a slight knock on the door interrupted the warmth in the room.

"Old Ji, do you have time?" Lin Jie's dull voice sounded from outside the door.

Ji Lianqi rubbed Ye Ying's feet for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

Seeing that no one in the room was moving, Lin Jie spoke again, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I want to have two more drinks and chat with you."

Today, He Peng and Ye Ning were going to bid farewell to Lin Jie. Ji Lianqi was worried that he would lose his temper, so he didn't go.

But when he saw that everyone was here except Ji Lianqi, Lin Jie felt very unhappy.

Ye Ying patted Ji Lianqi's shoulder and persuaded softly: "Just go, I will leave tomorrow, and it will be difficult to see you in the future. Do you really not regret it?"

Ji Lianqi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll go. If you're sleepy, go to bed early, do you understand?"

"Ah."

Ji Lianqi responded to Lin Jie outside, picked up a towel and helped Ye Ying dry her feet, then helped her lie down and put her swollen legs on the wall.

After doing all this, he turned around and went out.

Lin Jie saw Ji Lianqi, who had been writing ink for a long time, come out and frowned: "What's the ink in there? You didn't even come to see me off."

Ji Lianqi turned a deaf ear and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where?"

"Yen Ning's family."

Among so many people, Ye Ning was the only single one, so it was convenient for him.

Not long after, they arrived at Ye Ning's house.

Seeing Ji Lianqi, who had arrived late, several people laughed and joked: "Tsk, tsk, Commander Ji is so arrogant, and he has to be urged and invited by the parties involved!"

Ji Lianqi deliberately kept a straight face: "Don't say a few words."

Seeing this, Ye Ning became even more teasing. He stood up in a military posture on the spot and gave a military salute with his right hand: "Copy that!"

The room burst into laughter.

"Ye Ning!" Ji Lianqi's face turned even darker. How could he not see that Ye Ning was deliberately teasing him.

"Okay, okay, let's all be serious." Wei Hongxing said, "Lin Jie is leaving tomorrow, let's get together one last time."

On the table, there are wine, vegetables, and several plates of peanuts.

Ji Lianqi silently sat on the chair and picked up his chopsticks.

"Lao Ji, Commander Ji, you have nothing to say to Lin Jie? Don't just eat peanuts!" He Peng said.

"Smooth sailing!" Ji Lianqi said stiffly.

Everyone: "..."

Lin Jie: "Okay, don't embarrass him, he will just be bored. Today we are just drinking, so don't be so sensational."

After three rounds, several people were a little drunk.

Ji Lianqi looked at Lin Jie with a lot of emotions in his heart.

Over the years, batch after batch of comrades have been sent away, and now it is Lin Jie's turn.

Ji Lianqi sighed and slowly raised his cup: "After you retire and go back, live a good life and don't forget us brothers."

Lin Jie picked up the cup and clinked it with Ji Lianqi, his eyes shining brightly: "Retirement will not fade, and retirement will not give up ambition."

"I'll come back to see you."

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, several people chatted about many past events.

At the end of the farewell, their eyes were filled with indistinct tears.

The next day, when Lin Jie left, many soldiers came to see him off.

Ji Lianqi and others also came.

Lin Jie hugged them one by one, got into the car with great reluctance, and was about to leave this place where he had stayed for more than ten years.

The car started slowly and he couldn't help but look back.

Ji Lianqi, Ye Ning, He Peng and others were seen waving to him and watching him leave.

He Peng shouted: "Lin Jie! Remember to come back and see the brothers when you have time!!"

Lin Jie made his hands like trumpets: "I will definitely do it!"

If there is a war, they will be summoned back.

If the country needs it, he will still come back without hesitation and risking his own life!
