After returning home, Li Xingtang felt completely drained.
The thought of leaving this place soon, and not knowing when he would see Yunxi again, made him even more heartbroken.
When I got home, I found that my luggage had already been packed.
Seeing his mother nagging and talking nonstop, he might normally get annoyed, since big boys don't like nagging. But hearing his mother's nagging voice now, he felt a pang of sadness, his nose tingled, and he felt like tears were about to fall.
A mother worries when her son travels far away, especially since he is the only son in the family. Sending their only son to join the army to defend the country must have been incredibly difficult for the family.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I will come back safe and sound."
Li's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, trying to comfort her son, but she couldn't manage to smile no matter how many times she tried.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
"Mom knows. As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters. Don't worry about home. I'll visit Yunxi often."
Knowing that her son was worried about his family and his wife, she promised him that she would take good care of his wife so that he wouldn't be distracted while he was in the army.
After hearing this, Li Xingtang felt that his worries had eased a bit and he felt less burdened.
"Thank you, Mom."
I went up and hugged my mother, giving her a comforting hug, and then let go.
Li's mother patted her son on the back, feeling pleased, but still refusing to admit it aloud, "You brat, who told you to be my son? I have to take good care of your little wife, what if you cause trouble for me?"
A quiet warmth pervades the air here, as Yunxi in Yunjia Village prepares for Li Xingtang's departure tomorrow.
Originally, she didn't plan to give him peaches anymore, but she was worried that there were sharp knives and guns outside, and that his constitution wasn't strong enough. If he got hurt, she would be the one who would feel sorry for him.
However, in order not to be too conspicuous, I took out some ordinary peaches from my space and a spirit peach, intending to put them together and make them all into dried peaches.
This way, it won't be too conspicuous when Li Xingtang eats it, and I can also take advantage of him eating other dried peaches to eat the spiritual dried peaches I want him to eat.
However, to prevent him from giving the food to others, we still need to remind him.
After coming up with this idea, it felt like the heavy burden on my heart had eased a little.
It took me one night to make, and I even dried it completely, wrapped it in oil paper, and divided it into small packages.
Set aside the three packets of dried peaches containing the spirit peaches, so that he can eat them separately. It's not good if he doesn't share any with others when he's eating them, but he can share the other packets with others.
Having not rested for a day and a night, Yunxi couldn't wait to go to sleep after preparing the dried peaches.
She hadn't forgotten that she had to see him off tomorrow, and even set her alarm in advance so as not to be late.
Just as dawn was breaking, the alarm clock rang. Yunxi didn't delay; she quickly got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and ate a steamed bun for breakfast.
Looking at the remaining hundreds of buns in the space, I found a large basket, lined it with oil paper, put about 50 buns in it, and covered them with other things.
I don't know how long their journey will take to reach their destination, so I should bring them plenty of food.
She also took out the package she had prepared in advance. She would tell him what she had put inside later, so that he would feel more at ease wearing the leather armor when he went on missions in the future.
When we set off, there was already a sliver of light outside, and we could see clearly at least a hundred meters ahead.
It seems I didn't waste too much time.
After rushing for a while, we finally arrived in the town around 6 o'clock. Instead of going directly to Li Xingtang's house, we took a car directly to the location of the county's armed forces department.
All new recruits have to go to the Armed Forces Department to check in when they report for duty. I don't know if they've left yet, so it's better to go directly to the Armed Forces Department. I can also take this opportunity to buy more things when I come back.
There are already signs of famine outside, but fortunately, there are high mountains everywhere here, and a magnificent river fifty kilometers away, so it will have some impact, but not a big one. No one will starve to death.
Moreover, it's not serious yet; there are only a few traces. So, the people I met on the road weren't too worried, and the people in the car were chatting casually.
Yunxi listened quietly to Li Xingtang, wondering when they would meet again.
The next time we meet will probably be several years from now, when we're preparing to get married. If he works hard and gets promoted, it won't be a problem for him to take me to live with him while he's in the military.
Thinking about the issue of accompanying the army, Yunxi hesitated. She was reluctant to leave this place. She had become accustomed to life in the village and did not want to step out of her comfort zone.
I also subconsciously touched my face and the mask on it. If I go out, it would be strange to wear a mask all the time, right?
Will others think I'm a spy?
If she didn't wear a mask and just walked out like that, she felt that everyone would be looking at her, which made her feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time and see how things go. We'll see what happens later.
Perhaps Li Xingtang also couldn't stand the long-distance relationship and would retire from the military in a few years. Although this hope was extremely slim, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Time passed by as Yunxi drifted off into daydreams, and it wasn't until the bus stopped that she realized she had arrived in the county town.
I glanced at my watch; it would be eight o'clock in 20 minutes. I didn't know if they had set off yet, so I hurried towards the armed forces department.
When they arrived at the Armed Forces Department, they found that roll call had already begun, and people were still arriving one after another. There were also quite a few people seeing them off. Yunxi saw Li Xingtang's parents on the side.
At this moment, the family of three was saying goodbye with reluctance. The instant Yunxi appeared, Li Xingtang saw her. It was as if there was some special telepathic connection. The moment she appeared, he could no longer see anyone else.
For Li Xingtang, Yunxi's appearance was a special surprise. He quickly walked over, took Yunxi's hand, and said, "Yunxi, I didn't expect you to actually come. I'm so happy."
He gripped Yunxi's hand tightly, his expression one of intense excitement. If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have loved to pull Yunxi into his arms.
