Nie Shenyuan didn't dare to do anything more; even just a kiss was enough for him to savor in his dreams.

His mission was quite urgent. It was originally scheduled for the next two days, but he ended up leaving on the afternoon of the second day.

Time was tight here, and Xie Qingyu didn't have time to buy some meat to make fried pork cracklings for him to take with him. All she could give him was a handful of milk candy from home.

This was something Tuanzi insisted on giving to Nie Shenyuan.

Even though he is still young and doesn't understand what a mission means, he knows that Nie Shenyuan is going on a long trip for a while.

Nie Shenyuan also came back before setting off, brought a piece of clothing, said a few words, and then left.

Xie Qingyu and Tuanzi could only be sent to the military region.

After Nie Shenyuan left, Xie Qingyu returned with Tuanzi.

Although Nie Shenyuan is usually not home at this time, knowing that he will be back in the evening, I don't feel anything is wrong.

But the feeling now is different; I always feel empty inside.

When Nie Shenyuan got up this morning, he had already done all the chores at home, filled the water tank, and even filled all the pots, pans, and bowls that could hold water.

The ground in the yard was all swept clean, and there was nothing Xie Qingyu needed to do.

But the cleaner it is, the more spacious it feels.

However, her peace and quiet didn't last long before someone came to her door.

It was Song Qin who arrived.

She smiled happily as soon as she saw Xie Qingyu, but before entering the room, she first grabbed Tuanzi and kissed her twice.

Tuanzi wasn't used to it, and only wiped her face after she finished kissing and stood up.

Song Qin wasn't angry at his actions; instead, she wanted to kiss him a couple more times.

"What's making you so happy?" Xie Qingyu asked, looking at Song Qin, who was radiating joy.

Song Qin gave her a wink, "What else could it be? I went back to my parents' house today."

Song Qin's tone became excited when she talked about it.

After hearing about Yu Lingling's situation yesterday, she went straight to her parents' home this morning as soon as she woke up.

"Let me tell you, the Yu family is really lively right now," Song Qin said, her eyes lighting up.

"You know Yu Lingling is going to the countryside. She signed up yesterday and is leaving today. She's in this batch. Although she doesn't want to go, she has no choice but to bring a lot of things. The luggage she packed couldn't fit in three suitcases, so Chief Yu won't let her take it."

Song Qin's family lived next to Yu Lingling's family; otherwise, she wouldn't have known so much about the matter.

However, her family was able to live there because of her grandfather. Now that her grandfather has passed away, it's a bit of a stretch for her father to live there, but that doesn't stop her from eavesdropping.

"Commander Jia is also unwilling. She doesn't want Yu Lingling to go to the countryside, but the application has already been submitted and she has to go. However, she should be assigned a good place in the north, which is close to here." Song Qin told Xie Qingyu everything she knew in one go.

"This is karma, but thank goodness for you," Song Qin said with emotion.

"It must be that Chief Yu wants her to go to the countryside to learn." Xie Qingyu didn't say anything hypocritical to Song Qin, after all, Song Qin's dislike for Yu Lingling had been there from the beginning.

"Although it's for learning, going to the countryside is still a bit scary." Song Qin has a phobia of going to the countryside.

Therefore, I think the punishment of being sent to the countryside is good, but I still feel that the people who are sent to the countryside are very pitiful.

When she returned, it took a lot of resources and connections from her family, and they didn't dare to make a big fuss about it. Getting married right after returning wasn't a big deal either.

Thinking of the people who went to the countryside with her before, they have been in the countryside for two or three years and are still there. In fact, given the current situation, it will be even more difficult for them to come back.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back.

“Those who have never done manual labor do find it hard to stay in the countryside,” Xie Qingyu agreed.

“Right!” When she said this, Song Qin seemed to have finally found someone who could resonate with her.

"My palms were covered in blisters after only two days in the countryside, and the brigade leader of our production team doesn't allow us to use money to offset work points, so we can only work," Song Qin couldn't help but complain.

"It's allowed where I'm from, but some people are dishonest, and I haven't had much money left." This wasn't something Xie Qingyu made up.

She did lose a lot of money and tickets, otherwise she wouldn't be living such a miserable life with Tuanzi.

"Right! Some people in our educated youth settlement are thieves. I was robbed just three days after I arrived in the countryside." Song Qin almost screamed. Only someone who had been to the countryside could understand her.

“There are so many good-for-nothings in our brigade. Female educated youths are stared at when they go out, and two... two were raped and committed suicide by drowning.” Song Qin shuddered as she spoke.

She can still remember those looks, whether they were the looks of those hooligans or the looks of the female educated youth before she died.

"Our brigade is alright, it's just that the work is heavy," Xie Qingyu said.

“So you should have come to join the army sooner. I heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Nie’s parents have passed away, right? In this situation, you can apply for priority to join the army. Why didn’t you come?” Song Qin asked.

If Xie Qingyu had arrived sooner, she would have had someone to talk to sooner.

"I was thinking it would be more convenient to take care of the child at home," Xie Qingyu said, not wanting to elaborate.

The original owner had no intention of joining the army; Tuanzi was only sent over after her death.

"Now you've finally made it through, at least you don't have to work anymore. You have a good eye for talent. How did you meet Deputy Commander Nie?" Song Qin had been curious for a long time, and now she finally had the chance to ask.

“He was visiting his family at the time, and his mother was anxious to find him a wife. That’s when I happened to run into him,” Xie Qingyu said.

However, even without her explaining in detail, Song Qin could already imagine the scenario of the two falling in love at first sight.

“Deputy Commander Nie must have taken a liking to you at first sight. Look how much he cherishes you now. I heard that he doesn’t even let you wash the dishes after dinner,” Song Qin teased.

“Aren’t all soldiers trained like this? Your family members also wash the dishes willingly.” Xie Qingyu laughed, and Song Qin and her husband were enjoying a blissful life.

"Of course, you can't let me do it anymore." Song Qin's voice suddenly became louder, attracting the attention of Tuanzi, who was playing nearby.

"What's wrong?" Xie Qingyu asked, looking at her.

Song Qin looked at Tuanzi, then at Xie Qingyu, and suddenly lowered her head to touch her belly somewhat shyly. "I'm pregnant."

"Really?" Xie Qingyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Shh, it hasn't been three months yet, my mom doesn't want me to tell, but this child is so lucky to have our Tuanzi's clothes, I'll definitely tell you." Song Qin lowered her head and chuckled.

"I'm two months pregnant."

........

Xie Qingyu thought about it; she had only taken those clothes half a month ago.
