Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

Border conflicts broke out frequently, and the border war finally broke out in early 1979.

That afternoon, Su Jinru was preparing a meal at home as usual.

In another hour, the twins will be home from school.

Su Jinru always starts cooking an hour before her children get home from school. By the time the two children return home, the food she has cooked is just right, at the perfect temperature, and tastes just right.

If Yuan Wenjie comes back, he will come back for dinner around this time. If he has something to do and doesn't come back after this time, then he is eating out.

Most of the time, Yuan Wenjie eats out.

He suddenly returned an hour early that day, looking hurried.

"Ah Jie, why are you back so early today? Are you hungry? Why don't you have some pastries to tide you over? I'll make them right away."

Yuan Wenjie took Su Jinru's hand.

"Aru, don't rush to cook, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Yuan Wenjie's serious expression, Su Jinru's heart sank.

"Ah Jie, what's up?"

“I have to go south. There might be a war there. I’m leaving now. I’ll pack up and leave. From now on, the family will depend on you alone.”

With that, Yuan Wenjie went into the room to pack his things.

Su Jinru followed him into the house and watched him take out his suitcase and begin packing his clothes.

Su Jinru remembered that in her previous life, the conflict on the southern border broke out just a few days ago, and that war lasted for ten years.

In her previous life, Su Jinru was just an ordinary rural woman. Neither the ten-year turmoil nor the ten-year war had much of an impact on her.

These events were news to her.

But now, her family members are personally involved, which means that her family members will bleed and sacrifice...

When war breaks out, soldiers rush to the front lines; this is their duty as soldiers.

So what could she, as a military family member, say?

These worries and fears can only be kept to oneself.

However, Yuan Wenjie directly expressed what she was thinking.

"Aru, I'm sorry for making you worry and scared."

"I will pray for you, hoping you are safe, hoping the war will end soon, and hoping you will come back soon."

Yuan Wenjie closed the box, picked it up, and was about to leave.

Su Jinru grabbed him.

"You're leaving already?"

"Yes! The car is waiting for me outside! I'm going to catch the plane now."

Su Jinru took some pastries and wrapped them in a paper bag.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Take these with you on the road."

"Aru, you've had a hard time at home since I left!"

Su Jinru straightened his clothes.

"As a military family member, I was mentally prepared for this."

"Before, I was all alone, with no ties. Then you and the children came into my life, and I thought we could finally live a peaceful life. But who knew..."

"But I still applied to go to the front lines, Aru. If I don't come back, I believe you can raise the child..."

Su Jinru covered his mouth with her hand.

"No, you must come back. My children and I are waiting for you at home. Don't let us down."

Yuan Wenjie nodded.

"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely come back alive."

Su Jinru reached out her hand.

"You have to keep your word, pinky promise!"

Yuan Wenjie reached out his hand, and the two made a pinky promise.

Yuan Wenjie bent down and gently kissed her cheek.

He picked up his suitcase, turned around, and strode away.

Su Jinru chased after him to the door, but he had already gotten into his car, which quickly drove away and disappeared from her sight.

Su Jinru stood there for a long time before slowly closing the door and returning to her room.

She felt uneasy and couldn't calm down for a long time.

It wasn't until the two twins came home from school that they started complaining about being hungry as soon as they entered the door.

They ran into the kitchen calling "Mom, Mom!" but there was nothing there.

They ran into the living room calling "Mommy, Mommy!"

"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

"Mom, there's nothing in the kitchen. Why hasn't anyone cooked yet?"

Su Jinru stood up.

"Mom didn't cook today, let's go to the state-run restaurant to eat!"

Ruochen said happily, "Oh! We're going to a state-run restaurant. I haven't had roast duck in a long time. I want to eat roast duck."

"Okay, okay, let's go eat roast duck."

The observant Ruoxi asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you crying?"

"I do not have it!"

"Your eyes are perfectly fine."

"Really? Did some sand get in just now?"

Ruochen: "Where did the sand come from in the house?"

Su Jinru: "To the eyes, dust is like sand."

Su Jinru grabbed her bag and took her two children out.

"Is Dad not coming home for dinner again today?"

"Dad has gone on a business trip and won't be back for a long time."

Ruochen: "When ordinary people go out to work, it's called a business trip. But my dad is a soldier. When soldiers go out to work, it's called a mission."

"Okay, okay, it's a mission."

Su Jinru did not tell the two children the truth, so they did not know that their father was on a mission this time and would not be back in a few days as usual.

The two children are very close and love their father dearly. Su Jinru doesn't want them to worry about their father if they find out the truth.

An Ran and Ye Qingyun went to the research institute, and there has been no news of them for several months.

Yuan Wenjie has gone to the front lines again, and An Xin is quite busy at university, only coming back on weekends.

So after the twins started school, Su Jinru felt very empty at home.

Before, everyone else went to work or school, and she was alone at home, but she felt very at ease. Every day she planted vegetables, checked her medicinal herbs in her space, cooked, and did housework. Although she was alone at home, she had plenty of time. Now, she is alone at home, but she feels empty inside.

To pass the time in this emptiness, Su Jinru spent increasingly more time in the space.

Under her careful tending, the medicinal herbs planted in the space increased their yield by one-third.

Occasionally, Su Jinru would visit her parents-in-law, bringing them some fresh vegetables and pastries she had made herself.

Since Su Jinru started growing vegetables in the courtyard, she has been bringing them some vegetables and fruits every week, enough for them to eat for a week.

Every time she visited, Jiang Yuting would enthusiastically hold Su Jinru's hand and chat for an hour before letting Su Jinru leave.

Su Jinru originally planned to send some vegetables to her in-laws, Li Yawen and her husband.

But I later heard that they almost never cooked, and ate every meal in the school cafeteria.

Since Professor Ye recovered, they have returned to their posts.

Both he and his wife are intellectuals. Besides teaching, they spend their time reading and doing scientific research, and they simply don't have time to cook.

So Su Jinru gave up the idea of ​​sending them vegetables.

However, on holidays, Su Jinru would still cook for them herself, invite them to her home for a meal, and give them some fruits and pastries.
