A few days after their conversation, Xiao Che received a secret mission notification from his superiors.
This mission was extremely dangerous, a near-death experience. Xiao Che only told his grandfather about it.
"Grandpa, if—and I mean if—something happens to me and I don't come back, please take care of Ya Jing... In the future, if she recovers, please help me get married..."
Although Grandpa Xiao was worried about his grandson, he also knew that once the child made up his mind to do something, no one could persuade him otherwise.
Furthermore, he was unwilling to let the Xiao family continue to suffer injustice and decline.
"Alright, I will take good care of the family and Comrade Xiaobai. However, are you willing to let her marry someone else? So, please be careful on your trip. Even if the Xiao family declines, I don't want anything to happen to you!"
The old man's eyes reddened, a rare occurrence for him, and he became somewhat agitated.
"Okay, Grandpa, I know." Xiao Che smiled and gave the old man a hug, while secretly making up his mind that he must come back alive.
He will definitely protect his own life. He still has to come back to marry Ya Jing, and he also has to come back to take care of his grandparents and parents.
On the day he left, no one else was allowed to come and see him off; he had already said goodbye to them the day before.
Bai Yajing brought over a large bag of things and handed it to Xiao Che.
"There are all kinds of medicines inside, and I have labeled them all. You must carry that bottle of life-saving medicine with you at all times, pay close attention to safety, and put your own safety first."
Xiao Che felt a lump in his throat and hugged the person tightly, unwilling to let go.
Only when the adjutant who came to pick her up reluctantly urged him on did Xiao Che reluctantly let go of her, saying, "Ya Jing, wait for me..."
"Okay." Bai Yajing answered with utmost seriousness. She wanted to convey her firm attitude to him and hoped he knew that she would always wait for him.
Xiao Che got the answer he wanted and left satisfied.
Bai Yajing wasn't bothered by his departure; she wasn't worried at all because she trusted Xiao Che's abilities. He was the youngest regimental commander in the Kyoto Military Region, and no matter how difficult the mission, it wouldn't be a challenge for him.
On the contrary, Li Xingyue's reaction was somewhat hasty.
She came for Xiao Che, but now that the main character is gone, what is she still doing here?
It's so annoying!
For several days in a row, she didn't even want to leave the house, afraid that she would lose her temper and reveal her true colors in public.
The village's reputation is all thanks to her hard work!
Fortunately, the busy farming season is over now, and everyone is resting and recuperating.
So she stayed in her room and didn't go out, and no one said anything.
Liu Meiling has been busy lately searching for wild vegetables, mushrooms, and game in the mountains with Bai Yajing.
“Ya Jing, I’ve collected almost a whole bag of dried goods that I’ve been drying over there. I’ll send them back to my parents and brother so they can try them. I’ve been in the countryside for a few months now, so they should have calmed down by now.”
In the past few months, she called home, and her father and brother answered the phone, but her mother was still angry with her. However, she knew that her mother was just being selfish.
Thinking about her mother coldly preparing and sending her all sorts of necessities, she couldn't help but laugh.
She also wanted to help her family in some way. With supplies being scarce, all she could do was send more food back home.
Bai Yajing planned to dig some up and send it to her godmother. If possible, she would also send some to Grandpa Xu's family.
Although her uncle didn't say it, she knew that he still cared about Dean Xu.
"You've been getting wild vegetables, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and stuff like that before. They don't taste like meat at all. Today, let's get some wild game, make it into dried or cured meat, and send it over for our uncles and aunts to eat."
I'll also send some to my godmother and Grandpa Xu. If possible, I'd also like to send some to my uncles and elders in the military region. It's just not convenient right now…”
Liu Meiling knew the reason, but there was nothing she could do about it.
