Chapter 173 Three Years

When Li's mother saw that all the things she had packed inside had been taken out by her daughter-in-law, she became anxious.

Knowing that his daughter-in-law was being filial, and considering the large pork leg she had just received, he figured she wasn't lacking in meat, so he let her take out the meat and fish.

But she wouldn't allow that big bag of seafood and the things she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Fish and meat are fine, but we don't have much dried seafood here. Eat more good food and replenish your body so you won't be thinner next time I see you. Mom has already accepted so much of your meat, so you can't be too polite with Mom. Quickly accept it."

There was no other way, so I put the bag of dried seafood back into the sack. Seeing that it was getting late, I said goodbye to my in-laws. Unexpectedly, they stuffed a red envelope into my hand before I left.

I couldn't even return it; it just rushed off to work right in front of me.

I have to say, this trip was quite useful. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, which was somewhat unfamiliar before, suddenly became closer.

After leaving, Yunxi went straight back to Yunjia Village. Looking at the snow in the fields in the distance that reached up to her calves, and thinking about the climate she had sensed, she sighed heavily.

Based on my own experience, the current difficulties are not yet severe; the next two years will be even more challenging. Fortunately, the villagers don't have to worry about starving to death; they'll just suffer a bit.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and it was now 1961. The natural disaster had finally passed, and it was time for Yunxi's wedding to take place.

For the past three years, natural disasters have been rampant everywhere, and Li Xingtang has had no chance to return. Perhaps it's because Ling Tao has nurtured him too well, turning him into a king of soldiers with even more responsibilities, making it impossible for him to come back.

Three years have finally passed, and I've finally managed to get a vacation. I can't wait to marry Yunxi and bring her home.

Yunxi didn't care. She had already decided on this person, so it didn't matter whether they got married sooner or later.

During these three years of natural disasters, in order to make life a little better for the villagers, he would often secretly deliver meat and fish to the village without making a fuss, and occasionally deliver some food to those who had no food at all.

Originally, I just wanted to do a good deed casually, but I felt more and more golden light in my soul, so I did it with more enthusiasm.

Yunxi knew that the golden specks in her soul were the legendary merits. When she was a fairy, it was extremely difficult to obtain merits. Now that she had a rare opportunity to obtain merits, she certainly couldn't miss it.

She even wanted to try it out: if the more merit she accumulated in the depths of her soul, the more likely she might be reincarnated with her memories in her next life.

As an ancient monster who has lived for over a thousand years, she didn't want to die young at around a hundred years old. If she could be reincarnated with her memories intact, she might be able to embark on the path of cultivation again. Just thinking about it made her excited. So, she was now wholeheartedly devoted to doing good deeds, which she had previously considered optional.

Apart from keeping enough food for themselves, all the food in the space had already been sent out. They even went to a large river 50 kilometers away to catch various big fish specifically to help the disaster victims. Although there was less water in the space due to the drought, it was still much better than other places where even drinking water was a problem.

In the past three years, most of the edible food in the space has been given away. The rest is kept for personal consumption. Occasionally, I also go to the mountains to dig up various yams, kudzu roots, and sweet potatoes and potatoes that I secretly grow.

Later, the natural disasters gradually subsided, and the speed of collecting merits slowed down, so Yunxi stopped. Just then, Li Xingtang said he was coming back to hold the wedding, so Yunxi obediently stayed at home and waited for the time being.

However, she has already made up her mind that she will work hard to earn money to help more people in need, and that when this life is over, her soul will definitely be the kind that shines with golden light.

I originally thought that after this life, there was no hope for my next life, but since there is such a good thing that can give me a chance to live, I must seize it.

After Li Xingtang returned home, he left his luggage at home and couldn't wait to find Yunxi. Without saying a word, he immediately hugged Yunxi in his arms.

He hugged Yunxi tightly for a long time before letting go. "I missed you so much. I've been thinking about you every single moment of these past three years. If I hadn't been unable to take leave, I would have come back long ago. Yunxi, I'm sorry for making you wait for so long, and thank you for being willing to wait for me for so long."

Yunxi was quite pleased with herself. She thought she was a very moral fairy. Now that she was sure she was with him, she wouldn't have any more wild thoughts and would stay at home obediently waiting. She thought this was her strength.

"I'm only waiting for you because I'm willing. You'd better treat me even better in the future. If you don't treat me well in the future, see how I deal with you."

Yunxi's face showed a hint of shyness, and her tone gave the impression of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

"Yunxi, don't worry, I will treat you very, very well. I came back this time to get married. After the wedding, I will take you to the place where I served in the army."

It's a bit of a surprise. It's only been three years. Does that mean I can join the army now?

Thinking this way, I asked directly, "Have you reached the level where you can accompany the military?"

Thinking about the years I've spent on missions outside, I always feel like I have inexhaustible energy. I'm not worried about being overheard in the house. "If you have something this good next time, keep it for yourself. But it's true that my physique has improved so quickly thanks to what you gave me. I can easily take on fifty people at once. Thank you for giving me such a good thing."

Yunxi nodded, not wanting to talk about the spirit peach, "What level are you at now?"

"At the deputy battalion level, he's too inexperienced, so he's been put on hold. In a few more years, when he's made more contributions, he'll be fine."

Compared to others, Li Xingtang was quite satisfied with his current rank. The most important thing was that he had reached the deputy battalion level, which allowed his family to accompany him. Whether he was promoted or not was no longer important to him.

Yunxi didn't understand the concept of levels; she only knew that she was happy to be able to leave with him.

Although I feel a little reluctant to leave Yunjia Village, it seems that parting and reunion are normal in life.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingtang knew that Yunxi had no objection to accompanying him to the army. He was overjoyed, thinking that he would no longer have to be separated from Yunxi. He wished he could shout it out loud to let everyone know how happy he was.

"When I get back, I'll ask my parents to pick a good day to hold the wedding banquet and get our marriage certificate at the same time. Then we can leave here together."
