"What? You're going back again?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother frowned. She felt that An'an was being neglected because An'an had just gotten married and was now going back to the army.

"Yes, I have a mission. I have to go back tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yuheng was also reluctant to let her go! He was being called back so urgently because he would definitely have to go on a mission as soon as he got to the army. Under these circumstances, he didn't want An'an to go with him. Otherwise, if he wasn't there, An'an wouldn't know who to turn to if something happened.

Feeling the man's reluctant gaze, Gu An'an also felt a pang of reluctance. However, since she had chosen this person, she was already prepared.

"I'll go with you."

"An'an, I'll be going on a mission as soon as I get to the army, and you'll be all alone then..."

Xiao Yuheng certainly wanted to take her away; he wished he could keep such a good wife by his side every day, but he still had to consider the actual situation.

"I have to go eventually. I'll just go there to pack up and I'll be back in the spring."

Gu An'an blinked, "Or do you still have... something going on in the military?"

Upon hearing this, the Xiao family members immediately glared fiercely at Xiao Yuheng. Xiao Yuheng had no doubt that if he hesitated for even a moment, he would be chopped down by these people in front of him.

"No, I absolutely did not."

Gu An'an believed him, of course. If she found anything wrong with Xiao Yuheng, she would not be with him.

"Then why are you stopping me from going? Didn't you say you just applied for a yard? If I don't go, who will clean it?"

Now that things have been said to this extent, it would be tactless for Xiao Yuheng to refuse again.

"Okay, let's go back together."

The Xiao family was used to Xiao Yuheng's style of coming and going as he pleased. What could they do but pack their things and see him off?

"Mom, don't worry, I have a wife now, and I'll take good care of myself, so don't worry."

While the fire was burning, Xiao's mother wiped her face. "You know it yourself. An'an just married you. You have to take responsibility for her. I still have your father, but An'an only has you."

Gu An'an had just finished packing when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then went into the kitchen.

"Mom, I want to go back to the village."

"You should go back. I've already packed your things. Take them back with you."

I had planned to go back to the village tomorrow to spend the day with Uncle Li and Aunt Li, and then they would go home.

But plans can't keep up with changes, so we have to set off now.

"This is for your uncle and aunt."

Gu An'an could tell at a glance that those things were carefully prepared by Xiao's mother, and she didn't refuse, "Thank you, Mom."

"Don't thank me, they're really good to you. From now on, you're family. It won't hurt to visit each other more often."

Just for the fact that the couple came from so far away, many people's biological parents can't compare.

"Take these outfits with you too. They're all brand new from the factory. They'll be so happy if they know you designed them."

These outfits were specially selected by Xiao's mother based on the couple's body types, so they are sure to fit well.

"OK."

The two men, laden with bags and bundles, arrived at Xiaowang Village after dark. As they pushed open the door, they found a lively meal being served in the courtyard.

"An'an, weren't you supposed to be back tomorrow? Why are you back now?"

Aunt Li looked at Xiao Yuheng with suspicion. The Xiao family members all seemed to be quite nice. Surely they wouldn't have angered their new bride so much right after the wedding?

Uncle Li got up and closed the door. "Get the two kids a bowl."

Then, a knowing look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yuheng.

It's customary for a married woman to return to her parents' home on the third day after marriage. The two didn't seem to have any disagreements, so their return at this time must mean something urgent has happened.

Thinking about Xiao Yuheng's profession, she roughly understood and couldn't help but sigh, "You haven't eaten, have you? Hurry up and eat a couple of bites to warm yourself up."

As they were talking, Zhou Yue had already run over and brought over the bowls and chopsticks for the two of them.

"Brother Xiao, you're not going on another mission, are you?"

Chen Yong took a car home early this morning, saying he was going home to see his parents, but he might be urgently recalled at any time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yue frowned, feeling that although the Xiao family was good, it was still unfair to her An'an.

"Yes, I just received a notice that I have to go back to the unit tomorrow morning, so I had to come back early."

Uncle Li was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Work is important, but you're not alone anymore. You need to know what to do. To put it bluntly, we won't let An'an suffer."

The words were spoken cryptically, but Xiao Yuheng understood their meaning.

"I see."

When they first heard that the two were dating, they had already anticipated this day, so the Li couple didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let's hurry up and eat."

Zhou Yue had prepared the meal herself; it was plentiful and delicious, and Gu An'an ate it without a care in the world.

"An'an, are you coming back to live here?"

Zhou Yue was a little excited when she asked this question.

"I won't go back for now; I'm going to check on the military base."

Zhou Yue: ...Sure enough, women change after they get married.

"Aheng, have the arrangements been made with the troops?"

"The house I was assigned before I came back has been tidied up a bit. It just needs some other things to be added. Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, I will arrange it and won't tire An'an out."

"That's fine then."

Aunt Li looked at Gu An'an and instructed her, "You are more reliable than my two boys, but when you first arrive in a new place, you still need to think more carefully before you speak and act, understand?"

Gu An'an nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie. There's still Xiao Yuheng. If I get bullied in the army, I won't go again."

His slightly childlike words instantly dispelled the previously dull atmosphere.

“You silly child, since you’re leaving tomorrow, your uncle and I will go back tomorrow too.”

After finishing the meal, Gu An'an took out all the things that the Xiao family had prepared.

"Aunt and Uncle, why don't you try on these outfits?"

Honestly, Aunt Li's eyes lit up when she saw the clothes, but she still said modestly, "No need, no need, so many clothes are too expensive."

"Expensive? Not expensive at all, Auntie. I designed this dress, and I'll get a reward if it sells well. Do you think I can afford it?"

The couple had heard about it in the past few days, but seeing how beautiful the clothes were, Aunt Li felt a surge of pride.

"Okay, I'll try it right away."

She grabbed Uncle Li, who was still trying to look cool, and said, "What are you standing there for? You haven't even enjoyed the blessings of your son and daughter-in-law yet, but you're already enjoying An'an's blessings. You should be secretly happy."
