Annihilation of the solar system

A sumptuous dinner was already prepared on the dining table. He was sitting next to his daughter at a loss and did not dare to look up at his wife sitting opposite him. Yan Hua said lightly:

"Didn't you say you prepared a birthday cake for your daughter? Take it out."

Only then did Lu Yuanzhou seem to remember what he should do. He quickly placed the big box on the table, then removed the gift ribbon made of signal flags and opened the box he had graffitied on.

Inside is a strange-looking round cake with a layer of white cream on it. It doesn't look very symmetrical. The top of the cake is surrounded by orange petals. In the middle is a line of black biscuit pieces spelling out "

Happy tenth birthday to Yanyan."

My daughter danced happily when she saw the birthday cake:

"Wow! What a beautiful birthday cake. I haven't had such a beautiful cake in a long time. Thank you, Dad."

Yan Hua still had a cold expression on her face, and she looked at Lu Yuanzhou with her clear and moving eyes:

"You really brought the birthday cake."

Lu Yuanzhou did not dare to raise his head to look into his wife's eyes, so he pretended to be relaxed and said:

"There is always a way."

In fact, the strange birthday cake in front of him was really frustrating for the boss. The fresh eggs used to make the cake were included in his breakfast quota for the past ten days. But he persuaded the chief secretary to cancel the boiled eggs for him and put them away.

The raw eggs were given directly to him.

I made the cream by quietly bringing back the breakfast milk in a plastic bag. The ring of fruit on the cake was made by me when I climbed up to the balcony on the second floor and picked all the oranges grown by the political commissar while the political commissar was in a meeting.

As for the black biscuit pieces on the cake, he forced his wingman Xiao Zhao and asked his girlfriend to contribute the inventory. Of course, the price was to accompany Xiao Zhao to practice aerial gun dog fighting for the last time.

After getting the raw materials, production was the most troublesome thing. The shelf life of the cake was very short, so he got up at four o'clock in the morning today, relying on a rice cooker and the cake making guide written by Xiao Zhao's girlfriend, and cooked it before breakfast.

This birthday cake came out.

A candle was lit, and they sang happy birthday to their daughter with smiles. Only in such dim and swaying light could he dare to look at his wife more. However, only the love for his daughter could be found on her delicate face.

After singing the birthday song, my daughter held her hands on her chest and made a wish seriously under the dim candlelight. Her little mouth softly read out her wish:

"I hope my parents and I will always be together and never be separated."

This tiny voice was like sharp steel thorns that pierced into Lu Yuanzhou's heart. There were mixed feelings in his heart, and regret surged in his chest. The emotional frenzy almost drowned him, and the tears he had not seen for a long time came out again.

The eyes of this tough golden helmet slipped.

Together they blew out the ordinary candle that was painted red with a colored pencil. Taking advantage of the interval between turning on the lights, he hid in the darkness and quickly wiped away his tears. After turning on the lights, Lu Yuanzhou took out the last candle with a happy smile on his face.

He handed the hand-painted box to his daughter and said:

"Look what birthday gift dad has prepared for you."

The daughter happily took the box and dexterously opened the unique packaging box with her fair hands. Inside was a digital camera. Lu Yuanzhou looked at his daughter expectantly:

"Do you like it? Haven't you always wanted a camera? Dad traded a lot of things for this with his comrades."

Seeing the exquisite imported digital camera, the expression on her daughter's face froze at first, and then filled with an innocent smile. She put her arms around Lu Yuanzhou's neck and kissed him on the face.

"I like it so much, thank you dad."

The turbulent emotions in Lu Yuanzhou's heart finally calmed down temporarily. The coldness on his wife's face became even deeper, because Lu Yuanzhou didn't know that she had already given her daughter a digital camera on her daughter's birthday last year.

Three pieces of the cake were cut, and one piece was placed on each person's plate. My daughter took a bite first. Her expression was a little strange, and then she said with the same innocent smile:

"It's so delicious. I haven't had such a delicious cake in a long time."

Lu Yuanzhou felt happy in his heart. It seemed that all the hard work during this period was finally in vain. Yan Hua also took a piece of cake with a fork and put it into his mouth. After his pearl-like lips squirmed, he finally swallowed the piece of cake covered with cream. Then

He looked at Lu Yuanzhou with sharp eyes and asked:

"Did you do this yourself?"

Lu Yuanzhou smiled and nodded:

"In this special period, we have no choice but to do it ourselves."

Yan Hua then asked:

"Cream too?"

Lu Yuanzhou nodded, and suddenly his expression froze. He realized something was wrong, and quickly tasted the cake he poured out. A strong salty taste filled his mouth, and he quickly went to take the cake in front of his daughter.

plate:

"Damn it! You must have mixed up the seasonings and salt when you were mixing the cream! It's so salty! Stop eating it!"

My daughter protected her cake plate and said excitedly:

"I love the taste, I want to eat it!"

Seeing his daughter holding the cake, tears almost came to his eyes. Lu Yuanzhou stopped trying to snatch the cake plate from his daughter.

Thoughts were running through his mind, and his daughter's maturity and understanding beyond her years made him feel ashamed. Yan Hua brought a glass of water from the kitchen and placed it next to his daughter:

"Eat it if you like. The food your dad makes basically tastes like this. Just drink more water."

He felt that his wife's attitude had changed slightly, and his thoughts gradually calmed down. His daughter asked while eating the cake:

"Dad, you were gone for such a long time last time. My lost teeth have grown in, but you still haven't come back. Can you stay with me and my mother this time?"

Lu Yuanzhou was stunned by his daughter's words. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He took a deep breath, touched his daughter's head and said:

"I'm sorry, Yanyan. Dad has been very busy recently. He has to rush back to the army tomorrow morning because there are bad guys who want to bully us. Dad is a soldier! I have to go and eliminate them so that you and your mother can live safely.

It’s here.”

The daughter looked at Lu Yuanzhou with big watery eyes, and nodded her head in confusion.

"Then daddy goes and kills the bad guys quickly, can he come back to mom and me?"

Lu Yuanzhou nodded:

"Um!"

The daughter asked him to pull the hook again before giving up.

As the night gradually deepened, Lu Yuanzhou played games with his daughter and told stories until her daughter could no longer hold her eyes open and fell asleep in his arms.

He put his daughter on the crib and watched her sleeping peacefully. His heart felt a wave of excitement again. He kissed his daughter's forehead, then turned off the light and left his daughter's room.

In the kitchen, his wife Yan Hua was clearing away the dishes. He looked at his busy wife and didn't know what to say. But Yan Hua saw him standing in the dining room and glanced at the epaulettes on his shoulders:

"Why, did you run out wearing someone else's clothes today?"

Lu Yuanzhou felt inexplicably moved in his heart. Only his wife, who has been together for more than ten years, can know what he did from such details. All the tacit understanding he once had was only realized after he destroyed it with his own hands.

It’s so precious. He nodded awkwardly, and said hesitantly with a dull expression:

"Haha, that's right. During the emergency period, the troops are not allowed to go out. That's why I..."

The wife continued to wipe the water drops on the dishes in her hands:

"The guest room has been sorted out for you, so just make do with it tonight."

Lu Yuanzhou had an awkward smile on his face:

"Oh, no! I have to rush back to the army right now. There will be training tomorrow morning."

Yan Hua's originally plain expression flashed with anxiety, and he turned to look at the man with a forced smile on his face:

"Are you going back to the base tonight? What time is it? Your base is so far away."

Lu Yuanzhou still stood at a loss and looked at his watch:

"There's still enough time. I should be able to get back before tomorrow's morning training."

Yan Hua turned around and continued to clean up the dishes in the kitchen without saying anything. Lu Yuanzhou's eyes were a little distracted.

Watching his wife's slender figure busy in the kitchen, this was once just a normal detail of life, but now it was as precious and charming to him as admiring the sunrise on Mount Everest.

He struggled in his mind for a long time, and finally decided to say the words that he had been reluctant to say for more than a year:

"Uh...that...Huahua..."

His tongue was a little tied, but his wife just said coldly:

"Call my name."

Lu Yuanzhou didn't care, he took a deep breath:

"I have to go on a very special mission and may not be able to see my daughter for a long time..."

Seeing Lu Yuanzhou's hesitant tone, Yan Hua added in a sarcastic tone:

"You haven't been allowed to see your daughter for more than a year. Hasn't she grown up?"

The awkward expression on Lu Yuanzhou's face became even more unnatural. He closed his eyes gently. As if he mustered up a lot of courage, he finally said:

"It may take longer than that, and you will be more burdened with your daughter. Uh... um... just take out the "Divorce Agreement" and I will sign it for you. I will make all the mistakes.

It's my fault, I'm really sorry for taking so long."

Yan Hua stopped what he was doing and stood motionless, listening to Lu Yuanzhou's intermittent words.

"Although we are no longer husband and wife in the future, when you and Yanyan encounter any difficulties, you must contact me... I will do my best to help you... You will always be my relatives...

..”

When he said this, his voice became a little louder. The plate in Yan Hua's hand slipped into the sink, making a sharp sound. She was stunned for a moment, wiped her hands on the towel, and walked to the coffee table in the living room.

, took out a "Divorce Agreement" and a pen from the coffee table drawer, placed them on the dining table, and then walked into the kitchen and continued to wipe the dishes.

Lu Yuanzhou opened the agreement with trembling hands and wrote his name one stroke at a time in every place that needed to be signed. Each stroke was like a carving knife scratching on his heart, confirming all the blank spaces.

When everything was signed, my eyes were too blurry to see anything clearly.

After signing, he wiped away the tears on his face with his palms and adjusted his mood:

"Then I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself and your child."

His wife never raised her head to look at him, only her slim back was facing him.

"Well, drive carefully."

When he walked out of the house and closed the door, the two people separated by a wall were completely in a state of collapse.
