Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 25: He Still Needs to Support the Family_1

Meng Yunhan’s father and mother were awake, and his mother had already prepared the food. She glanced at the door of her son and daughter-in-law’s room, knowing that they must have been loving each other throughout the night again.

“Ahao, Ahao.” It was not strange for her to call out, given the late hour. Ahao should be getting on his way to the county.

Upon hearing the noise outside, Yun Hao began to tidy up. After washing himself and cleaning Meng Yunhan, he finally got dressed and got out of bed.

“Come eat.” His mother coughed lightly, noting her son’s invigorated appearance. Indeed, he was a young man, full of energy.

As for her daughter-in-law, Meng’s mother did not ask anything, not knowing if she would be able to get out of bed today. Who knows?

Perhaps she would check on her after her son left.

“Mom, let Hanhan sleep a little longer.” Yun Hao said earnestly.

He didn’t mention that it was his fault Meng Yunhan couldn’t get up.

“Ahao, please take good care of yourself in the army. You’re a married man now.” His mother would always remind him, an unshakeable routine. Her other children were around her, she could see and take care of them. But this son was far away from her, it was hard to see him even once a year, and his job was also dangerous. She asked him to take care of himself, now that he has a wife waiting for him at home.

“I will.”

Then Yun Hao said, “Mom, Hanhan is still young. If there’s anything she doesn’t know, please teach her.”

Hearing these words, his mother’s heart was somewhat sour, but she also agreed immediately, “On this part, rest assured. From the interactions over the past few days, I can tell she is a well-behaved child. Only her body is a bit weak, I will take good care of her. By the time you both give me a plump and white grandson, I will be satisfied.”

The father coughed lightly, “When you are outside, think about your family more, don’t be too competitive.”

“Yes.”

“Go and tell your wife!” The father patted his son on the shoulder, he was worried about his son in the army. However, that was the son’s own decision, he can only remind his son to protect himself.

The father sighed again, “If it was not for the hardship in life back in those days, I truly wouldn’t let Ahao join the army.”

“It’s all in the past, it’s all in the past.” Those days when they ate Guanyin soil, surviving on tree roots to fill their bellies are over. The harsh days are all gone.

The children have all grown up, those who should get married have married, those who should take wives have taken wives, their mission is complete.

When Yun Hao returned to the room, he saw his wife sleeping sweetly. Gently stroking her tender and smooth face, he thought, “I could be a king who doesn’t hold court.”

However, he has his comrades too and a household to support. He cannot let this bit of lingering romance make him forget his ambitions.

“Hanhan, I’ll make you willingly follow me in my military service. Wait for me.” Yun Hao bent down and left a kiss on her forehead. He then packed up his things and left without looking back.

By the time Meng Yunhan woke up and saw the humble room devoid of that familiar person, the thought hit her that he had returned to the army without a word to her. Not even a farewell, he hadn’t told her anything.

Unable to stop her tears, they dropped onto her quilt, soaking it in patches.

He was gone, he was gone.

He left, he left without telling her, he didn’t say a word, he just left like that.
