Chapter 35: Mo Haoyue Returns to the Military

The two finished breakfast and left the space.

Continuing yesterday’s pace, they worked until a little after four in the afternoon before heading home.

“Why are you back so late? I thought you wouldn’t be back today. Come in quickly,” Zhang Hongxia said happily.

Mi Xia smiled helplessly, “Yes, we finished things and came back directly. It’s not convenient to stay out all the time.”

“Mo Haoyue’s been back for these days, and he’s tired out his sister-in-law. Xia Xia has been sleeping with you.”

Zhang Hongxia laughed: “What’s the big deal? Xiaohuan is so happy. She sleeps with Xia Xia, and the two are very close now, eating and sleeping together.”

“I’m going to cook. You guys go see Xia Xia.”

In the room, the laughter of Xia Xia and Mi Xiaohuan could be heard outside the door. Mi Xia pushed the door open, and the two children were sitting on the mat building blocks.

“Xia Xia, Mommy and Daddy are back.”

The little girl ran to the door barefoot, “Daddy, Mommy.”

Mo Haoyue quickly strode over and hugged the little girl, tapping her nose and saying, “How can you be barefoot? You’ll catch a cold. Don’t do this again.”

Mo Zhixia grinned. She thought Mo Haoyue was teasing her.

After playing with the two little girls for a while, several children and Mi Qiu also came back, “Auntie, Uncle, dinner is ready, little sister.” Mi Jianguo shouted at the door.

For dinner, seeing her younger sister and brother-in-law were back, Zhang Hongxia added two dishes.

Usually when Mi Xia was at home, she would buy the groceries. She would control the number of times she bought meat. The family always drank spiritual spring water, so they didn’t worry about insufficient nutrition.

After dinner, Mi Xia and Mo Haoyue went into the space to study. After getting up in the morning, they took the two little girls to play everywhere.

Mo Zhixia’s anticipated movie finally arrived. That day, Mi Qiu had the day off, and the children were also on the weekend. The whole family went to see a movie after breakfast.

This time, Zhang Hongxia and the children were very happy. Mi Qiu was a little worried that her brother-in-law would dislike her younger sister. She looked at Mo Haoyue and felt that he wasn’t unhappy, so she felt a little relieved.

No, next time when Mo Haoyue is not around, she needs to talk to her younger sister seriously. Spending so much money, what if Mo Haoyue dislikes her?

Time flew by, and it was time to say goodbye again. This time, Mo Haoyue went back to the village yesterday afternoon and sent some food and money.

Mi Xia prepared two sets of thermal underwear and two sets of thin autumn clothes and trousers at home.

She found a nondescript down jacket, a very simple style, so that people wouldn’t notice anything special. She also brought several pairs of leather shoes and sneakers.

She also brought a lot of beef cubes, beef jerky, beef sauce, canned fruit, and various fruits.

She also brought a lot of salted duck eggs, pickles, and pancakes, which could be eaten on the train. When she went to the train station, she also brought Mo Haoyue a lunch box of dumplings.

Parting is always sad. At the train station, Mi Xia couldn’t stop crying, and Mo Haoyue was also very sad, his eyes slightly red.

This time, they didn’t bring Mo Zhixia, otherwise, the little girl would cry her eyes out seeing her father leave.

Mi Xia said reluctantly, “Get on the train quickly.”

Mo Haoyue looked back three times, seeing his wife crying, he felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do now. Just wait, in two years, the whole family will be together.

Mo Haoyue hardened his heart and got on the train directly. He was afraid that if he looked back again, he wouldn’t be able to leave. He missed his wife and daughter.

The day after Mo Haoyue left, Mi Xia went to Zhang Xiaoyu’s place.

“Oh, my sister, dear sister, why haven’t you come over for so long? I didn’t know where to find you.” Zhang Xiaoyu was so anxious that his mouth was chapped.

“My partner just left yesterday, and I came over today. It’s inconvenient for me to come over while he’s at home.”

Mi Xia was also helpless. Mo Haoyue didn’t let her sell supplies. The most important thing for a couple is respect. She couldn’t sell them in front of him.

Those days would be restless. After Mo Haoyue left, she would come out to sell supplies, and he wouldn’t know.

“There are a lot of supplies this time, take more money,” Mi Xia urged.

Zhang Xiaoyu wasn’t afraid of having too many supplies, only afraid of not having enough. His face was wrinkled with a smile.

“Okay, is it half an hour later?”

Mi Xia nodded and set off for the small woods. She first checked if there was anyone around before safely taking out the supplies.

The goods she and Mo Hao had collected in the mountains, except for what they ate at home, were all in the space, as well as what had been bred in the space over the past few months.

Eggs, duck eggs, pheasants, wild ducks, etc., Mi Xia didn’t even want to count them. There were too many. When she traded with Zhang Xiaoyu before, she had counted the supplies.

The number Zhang Xiaoyu reported was never wrong, and sometimes there was even more, so she was very relieved. Even if she didn’t count, Zhang Xiaoyu wouldn’t underreport.

After counting, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Mi Xia flatteringly, handed her the money, and anxiously asked about the next transaction. He was worried that he couldn’t eat because she hadn’t come for two months.

Mi Xia said a week later, Zhang Xiaoyu finally relaxed. He had to go see Grandma Song. He hadn’t been there for more than ten days.

Mi Xia brought some seafood, meat, rice, flour, and several fish. In addition, she also took some fruit.

Grandma Song liked to eat fruit, so she would bring some every time she went.

Song Binbin happily said: “Sister, you’re here! I miss you, and Grandma does too.”

Mi Xia pretended to take out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket, but actually took them from the space.

“Close the door quickly, I’ll go see your grandma.”

“I know, Sister Xia, you go quickly.”

As soon as Mi Xia entered the yard, she shouted into the house: “Grandma Song, I’m here to see you again.”

“Xiao Xia is here. Where’s your partner? Why didn’t he come together?” Grandma Song asked curiously.

Mi Xia: “Grandma Song, he’s back to the military. His leave is over.”

“Why didn’t you go with him? Long-distance relationships are prone to problems.”

“It’s okay, Grandma Song, don’t worry. Our relationship is very good. There are still some things here. I’ll go over to his place in two years.”

“That’s right. Couples shouldn’t be separated for a long time.”

“Grandma Song, I brought you a new kind of fruit. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it, I’ll bring you some next time.”

Mi Xia took out some lychees from her backpack and peeled one to give to Grandma Song. “Try it.”

Grandma Song took it and put it in her mouth, “This is also delicious, sweet. Everything you bring is delicious.”

“Then Grandma Song, you eat first. I’ll cook a few dishes. You can heat them up tonight.”

“Every time you come to my house, you have to trouble you, doing this and that, you never rest for a moment.”

“It’s okay, Grandma Song. I like doing these things. I often do them at home.”

I owe Xiao Xia too much. Sigh, she’s struggling herself now, how can she repay Xia? Thinking about it, she sighed again.

After Mi Xia returned home, she resumed her previous life. During the day, she would accompany Mo Zhixia, buy groceries at noon, occasionally cook, and tell stories to the little girl at night.

She would sleep with her and go to the space to read at night. As long as she had free time during the day, she would also go to the space to study, not wasting a minute.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was approaching again, and Mo Haoyue was still not there this year.
