Li Xingtang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly his mind went blank.
Was Yunxi just making a dirty joke at me?
Then Yunxi saw that his face turned red little by little from his hands and neck upwards, his whole body was red, just like a cooked duck, and suddenly she felt that it looked delicious.
At this moment, several ideas popped into Li Xingtang's mind.
Did I behave well last night?
Is Yunxi satisfied with her performance?
Does Yunxi like it?
...
Yunxi had no idea what he was thinking at that moment; she just noticed that his hands had stopped moving and looked at him in confusion.
Why did it stop?
Li Xingtang snapped out of his daze and continued what he was doing.
After breakfast was prepared, Mr. and Mrs. Li, who had been hiding in their room, came out.
The family might have been a little awkward at first, but after breakfast, they instantly became lively.
It should be said that Li's mother was particularly warm and welcoming, making Yunxi feel completely at ease and allowing her to easily blend in.
Li Xingtang seemed to be busy all day long, but he didn't let Yunxi do anything. She just ate whatever she wanted and put on whatever she wanted.
"You'll spoil me if you keep doing this. When I go to the army with you, I'll have to do all the chores myself. Besides, it's not like I can't do them. When you weren't back, I did all the housework!"
Yunxi never considered herself a delicate person. With her great strength and superpowers, it was just a small matter that she could handle in no time.
"It's okay, I haven't done it in a long time either. Anyway, I won't be staying at home for many more days, so I'll do more while I'm still at home."
Besides, he couldn't bear to let Yunxi do any work. He married his wife to cherish her, not to treat her like a slave or to be constantly harassed.
Yunxi enjoyed a life of being waited on hand and foot for two days before returning home to visit her parents-in-law. Her parents-in-law had prepared everything in advance, so Yunxi and Li Xingtang only needed to carry it.
When the great-grandfather and the others saw Yunxi's rosy complexion, they knew she was doing well at her husband's family home, so they had no worries about her.
Yunxi thought that she probably wouldn't come back to her hometown much in the future, so she put away everything she could use. She told her aunts and uncles to take whatever they needed, so that it wouldn't rot away if left there for too long.
I had lunch at my great-grandfather's house and told them that I would be joining Li Xingtang in the army. They all gave Yunxi a lot of advice and instructions, saying things like, "If things don't go well, come back immediately."
Yunxi was really touched, and she felt a little reluctant to leave the village when she looked at it before leaving.
Li Xingtang held her hand from the side, not urging Yunxi, but just looking at her with a worried expression.
Looking into his tender eyes, Yunxi felt that any reluctance she felt had suddenly vanished completely. She felt that the path she had chosen would definitely not disappoint her, and Li Xingtang would definitely not disappoint her.
She squeezed his hand, which was holding hers, and gave him a relieved smile. "Let's go back!"
He spent a few carefree days at home, not having to do any work during the day, but his back was a bit sore at night. Maybe it was because he had just started having sex and was particularly curious about it, or maybe it was because he was in such good physical condition that he seemed to never get tired, like a perpetual motion machine every night.
Fortunately, her parents-in-law were experienced and understood that their daughter-in-law couldn't get up in the morning. However, they still taught their son not to overindulge all at once, because if he ruined it, he wouldn't be able to use it later. They emphasized the importance of taking it slow and building up gradually.
What could Li Xingtang do? He could only agree, after all, he loved his wife dearly, and he also felt sorry for her. However, when it came time to sleep at night, looking at his wife's beautiful appearance, it was really hard for him to resist.
After eating it for five or six days in a row, I finally managed to satisfy my craving a little and restrain myself.
It was only because I was packing my bags to leave that I stopped and mailed everything I was going to send.
Yunxi wanted to bring so many things with her. There might only be one empty house there, and she needed all sorts of daily necessities. So after packing, there were a total of eight large packages. It would be too difficult to carry them if they weren't mailed.
As she was leaving, Yunxi noticed her mother-in-law's gaze, staring expectantly at her belly, and unconsciously touching it.
These things depend on fate. If you're pregnant, you'll have the baby; if not, there's no rush. So I simply ignored my mother-in-law's gaze and pretended not to see her.
Yunxi had exceptionally sharp ears; she could hear what Li Xingtang and his father were saying on the other side, even when she deliberately walked away.
Fortunately, it was just an old father giving his son advice before his departure, telling him how to conduct himself in the future. It was as if he wanted to pass on decades of experience to his son in just a few minutes.
This isn't the first time they've said it, and I don't know why they kept bringing it up even when they were leaving.
However, it's also clear that she's worried about her son. After all, while it sounds nice that he's protecting the country, he's actually risking his life fighting outside. And since he's her only son, it's no wonder she's worried.
Yunxi wasn't too worried about Li Xingtang. He had eaten and used her good things, so she didn't believe he would die so easily.
When the train arrived at the station, they reluctantly parted ways. Yunxi saw that both her parents-in-law had red eyes. Her father-in-law was a little better and managed to control himself, but his eyes were still red. Her mother-in-law, on the other hand, burst into tears.
At that moment, even someone as cold-hearted as Yunxi felt her nose sting with tears.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'll come back to see you whenever I have time, or you can come to our place if you have time."
Mr. and Mrs. Li waved their hands, telling them to hurry up and go up so they wouldn't waste time and not find seats.
He found two seats, sat down, opened the window, and waved to Mr. and Mrs. Li outside. The train started moving, and his figure slowly shrank until he could no longer be seen.

Yunxi followed Li Xingtang to the army and quickly adapted to life in the army. She would wake up to the sound of bugles every day. Li Xingtang would go to drills, and Yunxi would prepare breakfast at home. When Li Xingtang came back, they would eat breakfast together.
After Li Xingtang started working, Yunxi found all sorts of things to do to pass the time. There were mountains everywhere, and it was like returning to base camp once you entered the mountains. You could go anywhere and found a lot of good things.
Whether it's wild vegetables, mushrooms, mountain products, or various kinds of game, there's nothing you can't get if you don't want it.
She was already two months pregnant in less than three months. Perhaps because of her good health, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, eight months later.
Yunxi felt that giving birth was hard work, and raising children was especially hard work. Since she had twins, a boy and a girl, she didn't want to have any more children.
He didn't look for a job, but he picked medicinal herbs in the mountains to sell, and his savings in the space kept increasing.
It could be said that nothing bothered her, after all, Li Xingtang doted on her, and apart from missions, they were never apart except when he was at work.
The only problem was that after the children graduated from high school, the "Down to the Countryside Movement" was still ongoing. By then it was already 1976, and Yunxi had no idea what would happen in the future. She was heartbroken to have to send one of her two children to the countryside.
How could Li Xingtang bear to let his wife, whom he had pampered for decades, be sad and upset?
There happened to be a village near the military base, so they used their connections to get me a job in the countryside, about 20 miles away from the base.
After his brother graduated from high school, he joined the army. He was only interested in the army and wanted to make a name for himself in the army like his father. Originally, his daughter was not required to go to the countryside, but she had made an appointment with someone else to go to the countryside together.
My daughter has been perfectly normal for over ten years, so I don't know why she suddenly had that tantrum. Luckily, Li Xingtang arranged for her to go to the countryside not far away, otherwise I would have been devastated.
Thinking back, it wasn't that long, just over a year in the countryside. Because the twins had always had excellent grades, they were admitted to university directly when it came time for the college entrance examination, leaving the countryside for Beijing.
Yunxi's parents-in-law had already retired, and she was worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to take care of herself alone in Beijing. Since she didn't lack money, she took advantage of a house sale and bought several courtyard houses so that her parents-in-law could stay in Beijing and accompany her daughter while she studied.
She studied, worked, dated, and got married, all in Beijing. She married herself off early, so Yunxi wasn't worried about her daughter at all. Except for a moment of madness when she was sent to the countryside, she was usually quite shrewd.
The only one who was single was his son, who was carefree in the army and didn't care about his marriage at all. Even after his daughter had two children, he was still single.
Yunxi had always worried that he would remain single for life, but unexpectedly, he settled down at the age of 33.
Li Xingtang had risen to the rank of general because he was in excellent health and Yunxi was never stingy with the good things he was given. He never failed any of the tasks assigned to him, so his promotion was exceptionally fast.
So even though he was 60, he couldn't retire. He worked diligently until he was 70, when he finally retired.
After retiring, the family moved directly to Beijing, where they enjoyed taking care of their great-grandchildren.
The whole family was in excellent health. When Yunxi turned 100, she still felt very healthy and didn't feel any signs of declining.
Even Li Xingtang lived past 100 years old because he ate all sorts of good food.
Sometimes living too long isn't a good thing. Even if you're in good health, as you get older, various bodily functions decline, and you become less agile, which can feel quite heavy.
Yunxi seems to have never done anything significant in her life. When she was young, she worked hard to make money, and even when she was in the army, she didn't forget to make money. There were mountains and plains everywhere, so it was really easy to make money by picking medicinal herbs.
Although she didn't do much or work a regular job, she did a lot of good deeds. She bought many houses when she was young, and received various demolitions and compensations, so she had no shortage of houses, shops, or money.
Her son and daughter are both successful, so she doesn't spend much money on herself and just uses it all to do charity.
Yunxi believed that doing good deeds would definitely bring merit, even though it was invisible and intangible. She wanted to do more good deeds and hoped that she would have a next life.
The two people lived to be 120 years old because they were about the same age and died around the same time.
It could be said that the two were entangled for a lifetime. Even when they died, Li Xingtang held Yunxi's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and prayed in his heart that they could meet again in the next life.
The End!
