Chapter 166 Farewell

Seeing that there were so many people around and no one was paying attention to her, Yunxi finally let him take her hand.

After pulling for a while without him letting go, worried about wasting time, she simply pulled her hand away. "I came here specifically to deliver something to you, so don't waste time. I see some people have already started getting on the Liberation truck."

He quietly pulled Li Xingtang aside and told him what was in his bundle and basket.

Including the special dried peaches, the leather armor that could protect against bullets, and all sorts of delicious food that she made herself.

Li Xingtang was deeply moved that Yunxi had given him such a wonderful treasure, and he secretly vowed to try his best to come back alive.

But when she saw the buns in the basket, she couldn't help but laugh and cry. How afraid was Yunxi of going hungry that she brought so many buns?

I'll take it up in the car later. I wonder if my comrades will laugh at me?

Thinking about it, it's a joke, but this was prepared by Yunxi for herself. Others want something from their wives but don't even get it.

Thinking about it this way, a hint of pride and emotion appeared on his face.

Sure enough, Yunxi loves me. It's just that Yunxi was too reserved in the past and didn't know how to express it, so it seemed like she didn't like me. But these past few days, after the two got engaged, Yunxi has clearly shown that she likes me, so she definitely loves me, she just doesn't know how to express it.

He was so excited that he wanted to kiss Yunxi's cheek, but then he saw so many people around, and Yunxi was so shy, so he decided to give up.

Li Xingtang's parents watched quietly from a distance, seeing their son looking so worthless, and the couple said they wanted to beat him up.

I was initially feeling incredibly sad, since I didn't know when my son would return after leaving, but seeing my future daughter-in-law beside me made me feel a little less upset.

Li's mother felt that she might be a bit of a looks-obsessed person. She felt that just looking at her daughter-in-law's face could make her eat two more bowls of rice. Since her son was not at home, she had to take good care of her daughter-in-law and keep a close eye on her for her son.

So when her husband wanted to go talk to their son, she stopped him, feeling that her husband was really too tactless. She couldn't disturb her son and daughter-in-law's relationship development. Only when their relationship was good would they care about each other.

Soon, whistling sounds filled the air. Li Xingtang couldn't stay any longer. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, he quickly kissed Yunxi on the cheek and ran away.

A smug smile spread across his face, as if he had gotten a great deal.

Yunxi rolled her eyes at his retreating figure, clearly annoyed.

It's not like she's not allowed to kiss, so why be so nervous? But she still subconsciously glanced at the other people around her, and only relaxed after confirming that no one had noticed.

Yunxi was initially worried that if she sent too many things, they might not be allowed to bring them.

But seeing that the other people had quite a lot of things, I felt relieved.

At eight o'clock sharp, without any delay, everyone got on the bus. Before leaving, Li Xingtang waved goodbye to Yunxi, and Yunxi quickly responded, watching him drive away.

On the way back, she rode in the same car as her future in-laws, who were incredibly enthusiastic the whole way, so much so that Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she felt loved by her in-laws and knew that they genuinely liked her as their daughter-in-law. Gradually, she became less nervous and started to adapt to their enthusiasm.

Sitting in the car, just after leaving the county town, Li Xingtang suddenly felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.

He held his wife's bundle tightly in his arms, burying his face in it. No one could see that tears were uncontrollably streaming down his face, one by one, onto the bundle without making a sound.

Even if it wasn't posted, people would know from his action that he was reluctant to leave his family.

In an instant, the eyes of the other new recruits in the Liberation vehicle shed also turned red. Not one of them regretted it. This was the path they had chosen, and they would firmly continue on it.

Yunxi and her future in-laws parted ways in town and went back to their respective homes.

When she got home and saw the empty house, she felt a moment of loneliness, but that loneliness seemed to last for less than two seconds before she forgot about it.

How could a peach tree spirit that has lived for thousands of years be lonely?

They should be used to being alone and even enjoy it.

After all, tree roots can't be moved, and having stood in one place for so long, she has plenty of patience.

I was just too busy the past two days, and now I don't even know what to do. I feel like I have nothing to do.

Back in his room, he suddenly remembered the money Li Xingtang had given him a couple of days ago, and put all his money together with his own savings.

The stack of cash totaled over 130,000 yuan. Adding the money Li Xingtang gave him yesterday, there was over 4,200 yuan in loose change, plus a few dozen yuan in other small change.

This doesn't even include my own bracelets and small yellow croakers.

This money will last me a long time. Besides, I'm not someone who only spends and doesn't earn. Whenever I have the chance, I'll still go up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.

Yunxi felt that selling medicinal herbs could earn her more money than she would earn working a regular job, so she didn't bother looking for one. Staying at home was so comfortable; the money she earned from going up the mountain once was enough to cover her annual salary.

After putting the money back into her spatial storage, Yunxi couldn't stay idle at home. She wanted to check on her private plot, where she had planted some sweet potatoes to cope with the drought. She wanted to see if they needed watering and keep herself busy.

Carrying a wooden bucket with a large spoon inside, along with a pair of scissors and a large basket, he headed straight for his private plot.

As soon as I came out, I saw that there was no one idle in the village. They were either running up the mountain to dig up all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits, or watering the crops in the fields. Yun Shengnan, who was the same age as me, was also in the fields. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but it seemed like Shengnan had gotten a little tanned.

She was originally supposed to be married off, and the man had long since stopped her from working in the fields, wanting to keep her fair skin. Unexpectedly, she was allowed to work in the fields today.

She was there, and her second uncle, needless to say, was also picking the tender stems of the sweet potatoes.

These are meant to be rinsed once, dried, and stored as dried vegetables, just like Yunxi's purpose.

She was carrying a large basket, intending to collect more tender stalks to put into her space. Hers didn't need to be washed and dried; she could simply store them in her space.

"Second Uncle, Shengnan, you're busy here too. Judging from the time, you've been here for quite a while. Second Uncle, you're really diligent."
