Aunt Qian looked outside, a look of worry on her face, a reflection of a lifetime of hard work. "I wonder how Ning'er is doing. I wonder if she's eating well and sleeping well in the army."
Old Man Qian smoked a cigarette, his face silent. After a while he said, "It's me, as a father, who is useless."
Otherwise, his son would never have joined the army.
"No more talking, let's go to sleep." Aunt Qian hunched her back, supported her waist with her left hand, tapped her waist with her right hand, and staggered back into the house.

Xuezhu followed the soul-chasing insect and found the lair of the Beishan Sword School.
Wu Weian and his men led people to surround them.
Ji Yunxi sat on the floor of the carriage with her knees hugged, looking at Baofu who was lying quietly above her.
She looked for a long, long time.
In the end, she failed to protect Baofu.
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of rain falling on the oil-paper umbrella became closer and closer, and then stopped in front of the car.
The umbrella was put away, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a man climbed up, feeling cold.
He glanced at the person sitting motionless in the darkness, said nothing, and lay down where he had been lying a few days ago.
And the place where Baofu is lying now is where Ji Yunxi slept before.
After a while, Ji Yunxi asked, "How is it?"
In the darkness, Ji Yunxi's voice was still clear and calm.
From the time Baofu died until now, she has never shed a tear.
Wu Wei'an supported his head with his right hand, lying flat on his back and looking at the roof of the car above him: "It's all resolved. The others are counting the casualties. I'll come back first."
Ji Yunxi: "Yeah."
Wu Wei'an tilted his head to look at her: "What were you thinking about just now?"
Ji Yunxi hugged her knees tightly and whispered, "I'm thinking, I'm actually really selfish."
"In Qinghe County, I put the safety of my brothers first, then the Crown Prince, then myself, and finally you."
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? I'm here too?"
This was quite surprising to him.
Ji Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Yes, you are one of them. But Baofu is missing."
She held her head with her hands. "When I brought Baofu back home, I said I would protect her. But I didn't do it. Baofu has never been the first in my heart. I have my brother in my heart, my future peace and wealth, myself, and even you in my consideration. But Baofu is the only one I haven't considered too much. And I am the first in Baofu's heart."
How unfair this is.
Right in front of Baofu's body, Ji Yunxi kept thinking about what had happened in the past few days and analyzing herself over and over again.
She was selfish from beginning to end.
She brought Baofu back because she saw herself in him.
Baofu's family background is very similar to hers in her previous life.
They are all children who are not loved by their parents, and they are all children who will be beaten and scolded by their family for not taking good care of their younger brothers.
But her personality is completely different from Baofu's.
Ji Yunxi had always been patient, enduring her joys and sorrows, until she had grown strong enough, and then quietly left. She would not look back, and even after she became successful, she never thought of returning for revenge and making her family regret it.
But Baofu had always been outgoing, never hiding her emotions. The first year Ji Yunxi brought Baofu home, she brought a large group of people back to her former home, had a big fuss, and regularly had people go to her home to cause trouble, forcing her parents and their family to flee.
This is the kind of person he is.
She has a clear distinction between love and hate, which is unlike her.
But what made Ji Yunxi most uncomfortable was.
Even so, to this day, the ranking in her heart remains unchanged.
Baofu will never be the first in her mind.
If she had not reached out and brought Baofu back to the Ji family, would Baofu have had a different ending?
Is Baofu still alive? Is he somewhere, with a son and a daughter, living a happy life?
"I seem to be wrong." Ji Yunxi murmured to herself, "I seem to be wrong."
Ji Yunxi in the previous life is somewhat different from Ji Yunxi in this life.
Because of her family background since childhood and the betrayals she encountered in the business world later on, Ji Yunxi only weighed the pros when doing things.
He is not sentimental and never shows any compassion.
Even if she met a girl with similar experience as her, Ji Yunxi would never help her.
She handles her business impartially and keeps out of the matter that does not concern her.
After Ji Yunxi did this, no one could hurt her anymore. She became invincible in the investment world and her net worth soared.
She has endless money, a pile of property deeds locked in the safe at home, she can eat whatever she wants, and if she wants to go to a country immediately, she can book a plane ticket immediately.
Life was indeed okay in the first few years, but gradually, Ji Yunxi became unhappy.
The numbers on her bank card would initially fill her with fighting spirit, but after reaching a certain amount, they became just a string of numbers that could no longer cause her to feel any emotion.
She looked at the world coldly and felt that it was boring.
The days go by one by one, and there seems to be no difference between yesterday, today and tomorrow.
The psychologist asked her to make some friends and have a romantic relationship.
But those who want to make friends with her are all attracted by her status.
What's more, it's about falling in love?
The relationship between people is essentially a reflection of interests.
You are rich, good-looking, and have high emotional intelligence. You can make me happy and benefit me, so I like you.
You have no money, no looks, and no emotional intelligence. You make me unhappy and are of no benefit to me, so I don't like you.
Ji Yunxi thought she saw through the world.
She was a little disappointed.
The turning point was an earthquake.
The company wants to donate supplies and needs Ji Yunxi to go over there to go through the motions.
Ji Yunxi went there and originally planned to show up and go home directly, but she saw some people and some things.
