Chapter 25: CH 25

MASS UPDATE (2/10)

*****

The next morning, Wei Jianwei and his father and first brother went to Houshan to weed the tombs of the ancestors of the Wei family, while Wang Chunhua began to pack things for her son one after another.

Home-fried peanuts, newly knitted sweaters, a few pairs of thick insoles. She walked back and forth in the house. He Xiaoyun and Feng Qiuyue knew that she was uncomfortable, and they couldn't persuade her.

Next door Aunt Zhang finished her housework and came to drop in. Seeing Wang Chunhua walking around like a headless bird, she couldn't help asking, "What is your mother doing?"

Feng Qiuyue glanced at He Xiaoyun and replied to her: "Jianwei will return to the army tomorrow morning. Mom is packing his luggage."

"Oh," Aunt Zhang nodded: "A month has passed so soon, it seems like Jianwei just came back home yesterday."

"Yeah."

"I remember Jianwei leaving home for the first time that year. He was only a teenager. How many tears your mother has wiped in front of me that time, now, it has been so many years in a blink of an eye." Aunt Zhang sighed with emotion.

After finally finishing packing, Wang Chunhua finally sat down.

Aunt Zhang patted her hand and comforted: "Days are fast, Jianwei will be back in a blink of an eye. Don't be sad, otherwise, the second child will see you and go uneasy."

Wang Chunhua sighed and smiled reluctantly, "I know, it's just uncomfortable for now, it will be fine afterward."

Aunt Zhang joked: "You can't bear for him to leave, Xiaoyun also can't bear for him to go. This young wife has a thin face, so don't sigh in front of her. Later, you might provoke her tears."

He Xiaoyun smiled and lowered her head as if embarrassed. Although she wasn't too uncomfortable, she felt a little melancholy because of the imminent parting and the atmosphere at home.

Wang Chunhua looked at Aunt Zhang, nodded, and cheered up, "You're right. If I'm like this, it will make the people even sadder."

"En. That's right." Aunt Zhang said, thinking of something again, "I heard that some of the cadres in the army have reached high ranks and can take their family members over. I don't know if that's possible with Jianwei?"

"Is there such a thing? I don't know about such things, I will ask Jianwei when the time comes." Wang Chunhua said.

"Of course, otherwise this young couple will be separated all year long, it will be difficult."

Wang Chunhua nodded in agreement.

In fact, if her second daughter-in-law had the same temperament as before, even if the family members could join the army, Wang Chunhua wouldn't dare to let He Xiaoyun go, for fear that something might happen again, which would affect her son's future. But now, her second daughter-in-law has changed, and has a good relationship with her son. And the child is still small. If the family can be together, then it's better to get together.

He Xiaoyun couldn’t help but raise her head. She knew that a high military rank could allow her family to join the army, but she had never thought about it before and didn’t think Wei Jianwei would want her to be there. After all, they're not really a loving couple. Does he want to continue sleeping on the floor?

Approaching noon, the Wei family, father, and son came back from the mountain. After lunch, Wei Jianwei went back to the room to change his sweaty clothes and prepared to go out again.

"Are you going out again?" He Xiaoyun asked him, leaning against the door.

He nodded, "I'm going to my uncle's house."

Although the elders of the Wei family are no longer there, there are still a few elderly people in the family who are close to each other. Wei Jianwei is going to return to the army, so he has to go to their house and say something.

"Dad, are you going to play at your uncle's house?" Wei Yuanhang emerged from behind his mother.

He Xiaoyun touched his head and corrected him: "That's your Dad's uncle, you need to call him Uncle Taigong."

The child nodded and then asked, "Will Dad go to Uncle Taigong's house to play??"

"If I'm going to play, will you go?" Wei Jianwei asked him.

"Will Mom come, or not?" Wei Yuanhang raised his head and asked He Xiaoyun.

She shook her head, "Mom's staying at home, go with Dad if you want."

The child struggled for a while. He did want to go out, but at the same time, he wanted to follow his mother. He was in a dilemma. He Xiaoyun flicked his forehead lightly, "Go, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Okay, mother can't sneak out and play by herself." The kid worriedly said.

"Got it." He Xiaoyun rolled her eyes a little.

The father and son left, and the room was deserted. He Xiaoyun walked to the desk, sat down in the place where Wei Jianwei usually sits, took a book out, and flipped through it, unknowingly, she lost her purpose to read.

In her previous life, until she died of cancer, she was a single dog. But in her era, information is aplenty and various entertainments flooded people’s lives. TV was full of dogblood drama with beautiful women and handsome men. He Xiaoyun is not ignorant of certain things.

She knew that she had some good feelings for Wei Jianwei, and she could feel the other person's feeling too. But she doesn't know how far this kind of affection can last.

Just like when Aunt Zhang mentioned about them joining the army in the morning, there was a small voice asking in her heart, if she can go, would she go?

While in a daze, Wang Chunhua walked in with the towel in her hand.

"Mom?" He Xiaoyun stood up.

Wang Chunhua waved her hand and motioned to her to sit down, "I'm fine, this towel, wait for Jianwei to put it away."

He Xiaoyun nodded.

Wang Chunhua put down the towel and was about to go out, but came back again, "Xiaoyun, what do you think about what your Aunt Zhang said?"

He Xiaoyun did not speak for a while. In fact, she had just thought of it, if Wei Jianwei wants her to go, she won't disagree. Anyway, if the child is by his father's side, it will definitely be more beneficial to his character development.

In the end, she just said: "You have to ask Jianwei about this."

"I'll ask him when he comes back later. If you can go there, you'll be together as a family, and Jianwei won't be alone. Xiaoyuan can also see his father every day." Wang Chunhua said.

After she left, He Xiaoyun became dazed again. In the afternoon, Wei Jianwei and Wei Yuanhang returned, and the child hopped all the way back to the room.

"Mom, I'm back!"

The child was flushed and sweat was all over his forehead. He Xiaoyun twisted a wet towel to wipe his sweat, and asked casually: "Is Uncle Taigong's house fun?"

"Yeah, Uncle and grandpa gave me delicious food." The child nodded. In his heart, it's fun to eat delicious food.

Wei Jianwei said a few words to Wang Chunhua and returned to the room.

"Mom just took a new towel and told me to tell you to put it in your duffel bag." He Xiaoyun reminded him.

"Good." Wei Jianwei nodded.

Wei Yuanhang wiped his sweat and wanted to play but He Xiaoyun held him down, "It's time to take a nap."

The child complained, "I don't want to sleep."

He Xiaoyun is very familiar with the child's routine. He says he doesn't want to sleep, but when she presses him down, he can sleep like a pig in less than five minutes.

Being forcibly suppressed by his mother, Wei Yuanhang hugged the quilt and rolled on the Kang bed. "But I'm so hot, so hot, so hot."

Wei Jianwei walked over, holding a big fan in his hand, and said to his son: "Lie down, I will fan you."

The chubby kid glanced at him, and at his mother. Seeing that there was no room for discussion, he had to lie down obediently.

"Mom, Uncle Taigong said that Dad is leaving, where is Dad going?"

He Xiaoyun glanced at Wei Jianwei and said, "Your dad will return to the army."

"Is he going alone?"

"Um."

The child pouted, "I will miss Dad a bit." 

Wei Jianwei didn't hear their conversation, he couldn't help but look at He Xiaoyun and ask with his eyes. He Xiaoyun guessed the child's feeling.

"Your son can't bear to see you go." He Xiaoyun explained.

Wei Yuanhang was still whispering, but his voice was getting smaller and his eyelids heavier and heavier. Not long after that, the child who said he didn't want to sleep started snoring.

Wei Jianwei continued to fan him, and He Xiaoyun was also sitting by the bed.

In the summer afternoon, the breeze comes in from the window, the wind smells of vegetation and sunlight, dry but fragrant.

"I and the child are going to work hard for you." In silence, Wei Jianwei said.

He Xiaoyun lowered her eyes and looked at her hand on the bed, "It's not just your child."

Xiaoyun meant to say that the chubby kid was also her child, but somehow, she sounded angry.

When Wei Jianwei heard it, he lowered his head to see her expression, "Unhappy?"

"No." He Xiaoyun turned her head.

Wei Jianwei leaned over, "Really?"

He Xiaoyun turned to the other side again, "No."

Jianwei leaned over again, "Let me see your face then."

After going back and forth several times, He Xiayun became impatient and pushed him a bit, "If I said no, It's a no, why are you so annoying?"

Wei Jianwei held the hand she used to push him. He Xiaoyun struggled for a while but still didn't break away, so she turned her head away from him.

His hands are very large, with many calluses in his palms, which enclosed her hands. He Xioayun looked down. Although she always did housework, her hands were still white and soft, and her slender wrists looked a little fragile.

Wei Jianwei slowly sighed, and his tone was low: "Mom asked me about the two of you going to the army. When I returned, I will report for the two of you to go there and wait for the approval. I also need to see if there's a suitable allocation of houses. You just need to wait for a while."

"Who's in a hurry?" He Xiaoyun snorted. Even if she could really go to the army, it would depend on her mood. Wei Jianwei curled the corner of his mouth, "I'm anxious, I'm afraid that you will miss me too much."

He Xiaoyun turned her head to glare at him, "Who will miss you?"

Wei Jianwei leaned closer as if to look at her carefully, "Let me see, did you cry just now?"

He Xiaoyun hurriedly avoided the hand he stretched out, and said in embarrassment: "You are crying, your whole family is crying!"

"Isn't my whole family you and Yuanhang?" Wei Jianwei asked with a smile. (Smooth, dude~ Real smooth.)

He Xiaoyun choked, "I didn't cry."

"Really? Why did you hide your face just now, then?"

"That's because you're annoying!"

"I can be more annoying, do you know?"

"Go away, I don't want to know."

The two were bickering back and forth and suddenly realized something was wrong, the two turned around and found that Wei Yuanhang woke up somehow.

The child looked at them with sparkling eyes, and said in distress, "Mom and Dad, you two are so noisy."
