Lin Yuan's expression was also somewhat grave. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Mom, the situation is urgent, I have no choice."
Aunt Chu nodded silently, "Then you wait here, Mom will go heat up your food!"
Thinking he had left, Aunt Chu hadn't prepared dinner for him, but there were leftovers on the table today, so heating some up would be enough for him.
"Mom, has Huanhuan eaten dinner?" Lin Yuan asked.
"We ate. We had some leftovers from the lunch feast. We heated up some meatballs, made some rice noodle soup, and also had millet cakes and steamed buns."
"Mom, could you cook me a bowl of noodles? Huanhuan and I will have a reunion meal." This was what his mother-in-law had told him before he boarded the train.
Aunt Chu nodded, "Okay, Mom will go cook the noodles."
"Mom, go back inside first. I need to entrust something to you."
Lin Yuan pulled Aunt Chu back into the house first, and handed over the twenty-seven letters she had written to Zhao Huanhuan to her mother, instructing her to secretly put them into the house when Huanhuan was not in the room, according to the numbers on them, so that she could read them when she had time.
He even arranged the delivery date and time for Aunt Chu.
Aunt Chu felt sorry for her son when she saw his clumsy yet adorable way of pursuing the girl, but she was also pleased that he knew how to put his heart into Huanhuan.
After all, she was an experienced person and knew that Huanhuan and Lin Yuan had only known each other for a little over ten days before getting married, so there was no emotional foundation at all. Moreover, their son was going back to the army, and the two of them would not see each other for a year. If they wanted to maintain their relationship, it would be necessary to put in some effort.
She was very supportive of her son, so she readily agreed, "Okay, Mom will deliver it for you."
"Thank you, Mom. I want to stay in the army for another term while I'm still young and strong, so I'll stay this year for another three years. If I can't get promoted after three years, I'll transfer back to civilian life to be with you." This was the first time Lin Yuan had told her mother about her plans.
"Okay, whatever you want is fine. From now on, discuss your future plans with your wife more often," Aunt Chu reminded her son with a smile.
Lin Yuan gave a soft "hmm".
Lin Yuan returned to the room, where Zhao Huanhuan was still sitting silently on the kang (a heated brick bed), but the melon seeds and other items had disappeared.
He went to get the teapot, brewed some tea, handed a cup to Zhao Huanhuan, and held one for himself. The two of them quietly drank their tea while waiting for their meal.
This tea was a gift from my mother-in-law. It smells wonderful, and after brewing it and taking a sip, it was indeed fragrant.
After drinking for a while, Lin Yuan organized his thoughts and said softly, "Huanhuan, I'm sorry. I was supposed to accompany you back to your parents' home tomorrow, but because of a sudden telegram from the army, I have to go back to the army tomorrow."
"I went to Shanglin City this afternoon and talked to my parents about it. They understood and said that military matters must come first. After I finish my mission, I'll find an opportunity to come back and go back with you to visit our relatives in person."
Lin Yuan remained seated sideways on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), facing Zhao Huanhuan who was now sitting on the back of the kang, and gently explained these things to her.
Zhao Huanhuan nodded, "Yes, I know. I'll go back alone tomorrow. It'll be good that I don't have to rush back, so I can spend a few more days with my parents."
"Okay, I'm sorry, Huanhuan!" Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Huanhuan's calm face and apologized softly again.
"Stop apologizing. From the moment I chose to marry you, I knew I might encounter something like this. Between national duty and personal feelings, which is more important? As a soldier, you don't need to struggle or hesitate."
"It's alright. After the autumn harvest, when we're done and there's nothing left to do here, I can come visit you at the army base!" Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile.
Lin Yuan was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Really? You're willing to come see me then?"
"Is it okay? Is it convenient?" Zhao Huanhuan asked.
“Yes, there are guesthouses. Family members can stay for a few days when they come to visit. But you need to write to me before you decide to go, so I can pick you up at the station in advance. Our unit is not in Xiling City; it's quite far away,” Lin Yuan instructed her.
"Okay, I understand," Zhao Huanhuan replied with a smile.
Lin Yuan felt much relieved when she heard that Zhao Huanhuan was willing to visit her.
"Mom went to cook noodles. We'll eat some and then rest!" Lin Yuan said, standing up and putting the teacup on the table. She opened the closet to get her pajamas, shorts, and vest, and prepared to change.
As he unbuttoned his shirt, he subconsciously glanced back at Zhao Huanhuan and saw her watching him change with wide, innocent eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhao Huanhuan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and subconsciously turned her head away.
"Hehe, you can look!" Lin Yuan said as she took off her clothes.
Zhao Huanhuan coughed lightly and turned back to look openly.
Lin Yuan has a great figure; in fact, she had seen it back in Yuancheng.
Lin Yuan changed her clothes, said "I'm going to get the noodles," and went out.
Once he went outside, he felt his burning ears cool down a bit.
In fact, if it were him in the past, upon receiving the telegram from the military, he would probably have bought a connecting train ticket that very night and gone directly to the military base.
But he knew that today was his wedding day, and there were no direct trains to Xiling tonight. To show his respect for his wife, he had to stay with her tonight.
Besides, he loves Zhao Huanhuan, and he wants to stay tonight.
Aunt Chu cooked two bowls of noodles for the two of them, and made a broth sauce with braised pork and meat soup for them to mix with the noodles. She prepared one bowl for each of them.
Lin Yuan carried the food back into the house herself, and the two of them sat at the table and quietly finished eating.
Zhao Huanhuan didn't change her clothes. Knowing what would happen that night, she didn't feel the need to be coy. Instead, she sat down next to him and ate noodles without any hesitation.
However, she couldn't finish a whole bowl; she only ate half a bowl.
Lin Yuan took the rest and finished it in a few bites.
While Lin Yuan went out to deliver the bowl, Zhao Huanhuan prepared to wash her face and brush her teeth.
She brought out their new toothbrushes, toothbrush cups, tooth powder, and towels to use.
After washing up, the two sat quietly at the table and chatted for a while. They talked about things to do at home after Lin Yuan left, and also about how Zhao Huanhuan should protect herself.
At this moment, Lin Yuan transformed into an old woman, nagging and giving instructions to Zhao Huanhuan, who was still worried about her.
Finally, it's unclear who moved closer first, but the two started kissing at the table and continued kissing all the way to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and then gradually removed their clothes.
"Huanhuan, do you want to turn off the lights?" Lin Yuan asked in a low, husky voice.
"Okay!" Zhao Huanhuan's "okay" was so melodious, gentle, and charming!
Lin Yuan quickly got up and turned on the light. At the same time, the last piece of clothing on her body fell off, and she moved closer to Zhao Huanhuan.
Outside the window, the moonlight is bright, and the Milky Way shines brightly!
Inside, passion raged, with a beautiful woman by his side!
