Mrs. Hu prepared two large bags for the two of them, which looked bulging. It didn't seem like they were going for military training, but rather like they were moving house.
"That's too much. Just leave two changes of clothes. They'll be checked once you get inside, so you won't be allowed to take anything else."
Ji Fengyi felt helpless when he saw Hu's nervous expression.
Mrs. Hu glared at him: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ji Fengyi said with a stern face: "I actually want to ask, have you given me a chance in the past two days?"
During the two days of preparing to travel at home, Mrs. Hu had already learned the seriousness of the matter from other people in the village.
Although she prepared the necessary things as usual, there was a visibly low pressure in the house, and Mrs. Hu was easily provoked. The two of them had never had a good conversation.
If they weren't about to leave, I'm afraid the two of them would still not have said a word to each other.
"When I'm free again after a while, I'll go visit my father and uncle and bring them anything they need."
Ji Changying looked at the two of them staring at each other and quickly spoke to comfort them.
"You've been gone for three months and you're not even allowed to leave. Do you still want to go in?"
Ji Fengshou muttered somewhat unhappy.
What happened to Zhou?
Her husband is going to the military camp, and they haven't seen each other for three months! She didn't even come to see her off!
Ji Changying reached out and quietly twisted her father's arm.
She said that to comfort the old lady, why was her father still trying to sabotage her?
"Uh...but I think, with Ah Ying's skills, maybe she can find a way. Dad will be waiting for you to give me something then!"
Ji Fengshou was pinched and quickly came to his senses, and hurriedly made up his mind.
Mrs. Hu's expression brightened a little. "I won't say anything more now. You must take care of yourselves. It's just a training exercise. You don't need to rush to the front and fight. Everything is fine."
As she spoke, Mrs. Hu's eyes turned red.
From the moment they knew they were the reserve forces, the emotions of the past two days finally erupted at this moment.
She was reluctant but had no choice but to accept it.
Ji Fengyi sighed and patted her shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work in taking care of the family."
Hu couldn't control her tears any longer and threw herself into Ji Fengyi's arms. He patted her back silently to comfort her.
Ji Fengshou and his daughter looked at each other, then quickly turned around and walked away.
"What's wrong with your mother? How can she be so careless? It's been such a long time and she still hasn't come over?"
Ji Fengshou couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look towards the wheat field ahead.
Then he felt his daughter's hand tugging at his sleeve: "What are you pulling? I haven't even looked at your mother yet!"
"Well, my mother seems to be here."
Ji Changying smiled awkwardly.
Ji Fengshou's eyes were filled with surprise: "Where?"
Ji Changying turned her head and pointed him in a direction.
Ji Fengshou turned his head and looked.
Good! That’s really good!
He was almost becoming a wife-waiting stone here, while Zhou was standing in front of the Zhou family with a smile on her face, talking, as if she had completely forgotten that she had a husband.
…
"My mother... I haven't seen grandpa and the others for a long time... hehe..."
Ji Changying laughed dryly and explained as she looked at her father's increasingly dark face.
"Hmph, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain!"
Ji Fengshou tightened the bag on his shoulders, quickly came to his senses, and strode towards Zhou.
Ji Changying hurried to follow.
"Brother, you have to take care of your brother-in-law when you get there. He can't endure any hardship, so please help him."
Zhou looked at Zhou An with confidence and as if it was a matter of course, not realizing how much of a blow these words would cause to her elder brother.
"Little sister, why are you so biased? He can't endure hardship, but your brother can?"
Zhou pounded her eldest brother's chest twice:
"Look how strong you are! I carried him all the way to exile. How can you two compare?"
Zhou's words successfully made all the men in the Zhou family frown and look disgusted.
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it!"
No matter how much he disliked it, Zhou An couldn't give up his brother-in-law, so he accepted it with a pinch of his nose.
"Yue Niang! Why didn't you come to see me when you came back? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and now you're here!"
Ji Fengshou ran over happily and looked at Zhou happily.
After greeting his parents-in-law, uncles and nephews, he saw a group of people looking at him with an indescribable expression.
Ji Fengshou touched his face in confusion, not knowing what was wrong with him.
Ji Changying followed behind him and called for help. Then, she handed Zhou An the prepared soft armor and a dose of wound medicine. "Uncle, these are the soft armor and wound medicine. They will give you more security when you get there."
Zhou An took it with a look of satisfaction on his face, and rubbed Ji Changying's head randomly: "Hahaha, my daughter is still thoughtful!"
Ji Fengshou grinned, "That's right!"
Because the Zhou family still has elders above them, the sons did not split up the family, so only one person needed to send out.
After discussing it, the whole family unanimously agreed that Zhou An, who had the greatest strength, should go for training.
After all, the old man is old, and Zhou An is the oldest one, so he is the most suitable person to go.
A group of people were standing together chatting excitedly, and soon they heard the sound of gongs and drums.
The bailiffs were about to begin calling the roll.
When the household head's name was called, someone stood up.
On the Ji family's side, Ji Chenyan, Ji Fengyi, Ji Fengshou, Ji Shilin, Ji Shilei... they were all acquaintances. They smiled at each other and stood together.
"For three months, you will be training in the military camp outside the city. Bring only a change of clothes. No sharp weapons are allowed! Family visits are not allowed! No handing over of anything is allowed! Barring any accidents, you will all be sent back after three months. Departure!"
The leading yamen runner briefly stated a few demands and then asked people to line up and leave.
The family members who were left behind all waved their hands with tears in their eyes, and they accompanied the person to the village entrance until he could no longer be seen, and then they gradually dispersed.
"Mom, how come you don't feel reluctant at all?"
Ji Changying hadn't seen Zhou for a while and felt that her mother seemed to have become more stable.
"Why would I be reluctant to leave? I'm afraid your father will be too tired to think about us when he gets there. I also have a lot of training to do, so how can I have time to think about him? Three months will pass quickly! Instead of thinking about him, I'd rather let Mom take a good look at you!"
Zhou turned to look at Ji Changying with her snow-white teeth bared, and couldn't help but pinch her face: "It feels so good, still so tender."
He gestured again with his hand: "Still this tall, and hasn't grown any taller!"
The idea of stability is indeed an illusion.
“…I’m holding my breath and making a sudden leap!”
Ji Changying refused to accept.
Mrs. Zhou didn't notice the expression on her daughter's face. She smiled and took her left hand, and took Mrs. Hu, who was still reluctant to leave, home with her right hand: "They left, so let's go home and have dinner! I haven't been home for many days, and I miss this meal at home. Hurry and give me some! I'm starving!"
