The photos of Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian traveling were developed.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the photos one by one.

From north to west, then to south, then to east, and finally back to north, they circled the motherland.

Yu Xiangnian said Cheng Jingmo was handsome in the previous photo, and said he was ugly in the next photo.

Cheng Jingmo: "...I think you are beautiful in every photo."

Yu Xiangnian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I like to hear that. I'll give you a kiss as a reward."

Yu Xiangnian stretched his neck, and Cheng Jingmo also came over cooperatively.

An An just walked in and saw this scene, his expression remained calm.

Instead, Cheng Jingmo blushed and asked, "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

"Your door is open."

Cheng Jingmo: "...what's the matter?"

An An said, "Do you have any dirty clothes to wash?"

Cheng Jingmo: "No."

Yu Xiangnian said, "My dirty clothes are in the basin in the bathroom. Thank you for your hard work."

“It’s not hard.”

Washing with a washing machine is not that hard.

From then on, every day in the family compound, one could see two grown men strolling in the yard with two little girls.

Cheng Jingmo lives in the family compound, which is very convenient for Yu Xiangyang. He has to help Yu Xiangyang take care of the children every day, whether he is willing or not.

"I really owe you!" Cheng Jingmo took a child from Yu Xiangyang.

"You don't owe me anything!" Yu Xiangyang had another child in his arms. "You said you would help me take care of the child."

Cheng Jingmo retorted, "I said I would help you take care of the child more often, not every day."

Yu Xiangyang said reasonably, "How can it be every day? You go home on weekends and don't take care of the children."

Cheng Jingmo: "...can't I have a weekend?"

Yu Xiangyang: "I don't have any!"

"That's your child!"

"Does it have nothing to do with you?"

"Uncle and nephew!" Cheng Jingmo said, "Explain yourself clearly!"

When others heard this, they thought he had done something wrong to Yu Xiangyang!

After more than two years of treatment for his illness, Cheng Jingmo finally recovered.

He could talk about that past with others, and although he was angry and sad, he was able to face the cruelty.

He can also go on missions normally, firing guns and seeing blood.

Occasionally, he still has nightmares.

When he woke up from a dream, he would still be stunned for a minute or two before realizing that it was a dream.

He would get up, drink some water to wake himself up for a while, then go to bed and hold Yu Xiangnian in his arms.

For more than two years, Yu Xiangnian never went out. He stayed by Cheng Jingmo's side every day, helping him with treatment and accompanying him in his recovery.

Of course, other family members also contributed.

An An and Ke Ke patiently talk to their father every day. Yu Xiangyang, Yu Cailing and Yu Caiwei are also great contributors in helping Cheng Jingmo regulate his emotions. There are also four elderly people who are silently accompanying Cheng Jingmo.

Cheng Jingmo held Yu Xiangnian's hand and walked towards the sunset, "Niannian, thank you!"

He has witnessed Yu Xiangnian's hard work and dedication in the past two years.

When he gave up on himself, it was Yu Xiangnian who persisted.

Yu Xiangnian said: "You are the one I love the most. If anything happens to you, I will be alone for the rest of my life."

Cheng Jingmo asked, "Don't you want the eight eights?"

"How can they compare to you?!" Yu Xiangnian said seriously, "You are the husband, with a legitimate status. Those are kept outside, and at most they are considered concubines."

Cheng Jingmo: "...Thank you for giving me a name."

At the end of the year, after Cheng Jingmo celebrates his birthday, he will be forty years old.

By chance, he flipped through the photo album again, which contained photos of him and Yu Xiangnian traveling two years ago.

Cheng Jingmo opened the photo album and looked at it carefully again.

Finally, he solemnly wrote on the cover of the album: Traveling through mountains and rivers, life is worth it.
