"Why are you leaving the capital?"
"Yes, we came here because we wanted to be closer to you..."
"What exactly happened? Could something have gone wrong?"
"Chenyi, even if we can't help, at least we can have more people to discuss things with."
The Chi family members all looked at Huo Chenyi with concern.
Chi Tang's eyes immediately reddened, and she hugged the other person tightly, crying and shouting, "I don't want to! I don't want my wife to leave! Waaah!"
She had finally been looking forward to being closer to her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law was leaving.
How can that be allowed?
The outside world is full of temptations; a wife might be easily lured away if she sees too much of it!
"Tangtang, don't cause trouble!"
"Be a good girl."
Mr. and Mrs. Chi tried to take Chi Tang away, but their daughter refused to let go and cried loudly.
No one expected that Chi Tang, who was always clever and sensible, would react so strongly. Hearing her cries, the whole family felt their hearts clench.
"Tangtang, I will keep writing letters to you. So Tangtang, you should learn to write soon so you can write back to me."
"No! My wife won't leave, waaaaah. I have to protect my wife! If my wife goes too far away, I won't be able to protect her anymore."
Chi Tang cried so hard that she hiccuped and snot bubbles came out of her nose.
But he didn't care about his image as a big shot at all, and cried his heart out.
Finally, exhausted from crying, she fell into a deep sleep in Huo Chenyi's arms.
"Sigh, why is this child so attached to Chenyi? She was attached to him before, but she wasn't like this every time Chenyi left."
"yes."
"I guess Tangtang knew that Chenyi would be gone for a long time this time?"
Huo Chenyi looked at Chi Tang, who was still twitching her little body in her sleep, and his heart ached, but his thoughts never wavered.
If you don't have the ability to protect others, then you don't have the right to like them.
He wanted to protect his mother, Tangtang, and the Chi family... so he had to have his own strength!
"Sister-in-law, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, it's about the stars..." Huo Chenyi explained his plan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Shuxing's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped off his horse: "I'll go, I'm willing to go! Parents, please let me go with you!"
Sister-in-law Chi did not express her opinion.
She couldn't bear to part with her son.
Moreover, swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. Although they wouldn't go directly to the battlefield, ...
I always worry about my child when they're not around.
"Chenyi, where are you going?"
"On the shores of the South China Sea!"
Huo Chenyi's eyes were burning, as if flames were leaping within them.
The Great Liang Dynasty did not yet have a true navy, and its coastal areas were constantly harassed by Japanese pirates.
This time, the emperor's uncle sent people to train a special naval army. Huo Chenyi not only wanted to go by himself, but also wanted to take Chi Shuxing with him.
Young people are always passionate at heart.
To them, dying on the battlefield was not a tragedy, but an honor.
Besides, at their age, they would only be trained and not go directly to war, so it wouldn't be that dangerous.
but……
There will be some challenges and even dangers involved.
"On the shores of the South China Sea!" Chi Dashan was deeply moved.
The others quickly asked, "How far is it from the capital?"
Huo Chen pursed his lips: "If we ride at full speed, it will take a little over a month to arrive."
Everyone: ...
Isn't that a bit too far?
Since Sister-in-law Chi was pregnant at the time, she was in a period of emotional turmoil and was somewhat unwilling.
Xingxing was willing and kept trying to persuade Sister-in-law Chi, but the latter just wouldn't budge.
Chi Shuxing went to bother his grandmother again.
But how could Aunt Chi possibly make decisions about this matter without her daughter-in-law's consent?
Even after arriving in Pinghe Town, Sister-in-law Chi did not budge, nor did Chi Shuxing give up.
However, just as they arrived and were about to have lunch, Sister-in-law Chi started vomiting as soon as she smelled the food. She even vomited bile and some blood!
Dr. Li said it was normal.
Some pregnant women experience such severe reactions.
But Chi Shuxing dared not linger any longer.
He was afraid.
Mrs. Chi should have been happy that her son had stopped nagging, but seeing his dejected look, she felt a mix of emotions.
She told herself that she could just endure it.
Once Chenyi leaves and Xingxing goes to school, she will gradually forget about this matter.
“I’ve found two courtyards I like, Auntie, let me take you there.”
When did Huo Chenyi ever do something like this?
It's only because he keeps the Chi family in his heart that he can be so considerate.
Half a month ago, Huo Chenyi secretly came to Pinghe Town to visit almost every vacant takeout courtyard in the town.
Taking into account the Chi family's situation, two locations were ultimately selected.
"Oh, Chenyi is so thoughtful."
Aunt Chi rubbed Huo Chenyi's little head, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, including heartache.
If it weren't for looking at Chen Yi's innocent face, she would almost have forgotten that Chen Yi was only a little over six years old!
"Auntie, let's go take a look first." Huo Chenyi's ears were burning, and he wanted to hug Chi Tang, but the latter held tightly to Xiao Wu's neck and refused to look at Huo Chenyi even once!
After Chi Tang woke up, she refused to speak to Huo Chenyi or let him hold her.
Everyone talks about her, but no one forces her to do anything.
Including Huo Chenyi himself.

The two houses are located next to a private school and are surrounded by relatively upscale residential areas. The town center is just four or five streets away, where you can buy anything.
