The autumn harvest started in a blink of an eye, and everyone else went to collect the rice, but He Xiaoyun and Feng Qiuyue were still at home.

He Xiaoyun is responsible for cooking for the family. Although Feng Qiuyue is in confinement, she has recovered a lot and can take care of the baby. Basically, He Xiaoyun only needs to help wash diapers and serve food. Sometimes, she will deliver food. Feng Qiuyue can help to look at Wei Yuanhang.

This afternoon, He Xiaoyun took a look in Feng Qiuyue\'s room after finishing the housework.

When He Xiaoyun was working, she asked Wei Yuanhang to take a nap with her aunt. Originally, the adult was lying in the middle, the baby was on the inside of the bed, and Wei Yuanhang was on the outside, but when she went in, she found that the little kid woke up somehow and walk inside the bed. Feng Qiuyue is probably too tired to wake up and scold Yuanhang.

He Xiaoyun immediately said, "Xiaoyuan, what are you doing? Don\'t touch your sister."

"Hush...Mom. Don\'t be noisy, sister is sleeping." Not only was the child not afraid, but he also lowered his voice to scold her.

He Xiaoyun walked a few steps closer, only to see the little girl half-closed eyes sleepily, while Wei Yuanhang seemed to pat her with a chubby hand, actually coaxing her to sleep.

He Xiaoyun was surprised. She didn\'t dare to speak loudly. She took Wei Yuanhang out gently after the baby was asleep.

Once outside, Wei Yuanhang said triumphantly: "I woke up from sleep and my little sister woke up too, but auntie didn\'t wake up, so I told my sister to continue sleeping!"

The three-year-old kid coaxed a one-month-old baby to sleep. The key is that he really coaxed her to sleep. He Xiaoyun was a little bit dumbfounded.

After the rice is harvested, the family\'s work is temporarily finished, and the issue of joining the army is raised again. He Xiaoyun thought about it. This time, there\'s no trouble, and sooner or later, it\'s better to just set it down.

After paying attention, He Xioayun went back to her family\'s house and mentioned this to Li Yuegui.

At first, her mother was very happy, "Really? You\'re not lying to me."

"Really. Why do I need to lie to you with this?"

"Now, it\'s alright. I can feel relieved." Li Yuegui patted her hand and said with emotion: "I have been worried before. You and Jianwei are in a long-distance relationship. The relationship between husband and wife must be cold."

He Xiaoyun was helpless: "The more you talk, the farther he is, what can he have?" (Like, what\'s so good about him?)

"That\'s really hard to answer. Not to mention that Jianwei has a good appearance, he\'s a tall man and also a cadre. How many young girls are staring at him? Your aunt has a sister who married a soldier twenty or thirty years ago. The man went to war and she took care of the family at home, what happened? He won the war and returned as an official, and then turned around to marry a new wife!"

"There are few people who have no conscience like this."

"Fortunately, your aunt\'s sister remarried later, and now has a good time. By the way, when will you and Xiaoyuan go to Jianwei?"

"This time, the family affairs are all done, and first sister-in-law is about to be out of confinement."

When Li Yuegui heard this, her eyes widened, "You won\'t wait for next year?"

He Xiaoyun expected her mother to be reluctant when she heard her words, and she really is.

"It\'s September and the Chinese New Year was still far away. We will go now, and we will be back with Jianwei in April next year."

Li Yuegui can\'t help but complain about the rushed time: "You bad girl! Why didn\'t you tell me earlier? I\'m not prepared at all."

He Xiaoyun had to appease her: "Jianwei wrote to me last month to set the matter down. He\'s been busy settling this during this time."

"When I think of you and Xiaoyuan going so far, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Is your mother-in-law willing to see her grandson go away?"

"She will definitely be reluctant, but now that there\'s a new baby in the family, she should feel better."

Li Yuegui sighed, "Raising a daughter is a disadvantage. When the daughter is wedded and left with others, the child is also from someone else\'s family."

He Xiaoyun smiled, "Then, I won\'t move in with Jianwei?"

Li Yuegui hurriedly waved her hand, "Don\'t have this kind of thinking."

"You meant to say that I should stay, and then you proceed to shoo me away. It\'s hard to be a daughter." He Xiaoyun sighed helplessly.

"It\'s just that you\'re good at talking." Li Yuegui scolded with a smile.

In the next few days, He Xiaoyun successively told her sister, her brother, and some close people about the matter.

In the meantime, she also received a package from Wei Jianwei. The other party bought her a face cream this time, of course, it was still three bottles.

When Wang Chunhua saw it, she said, "This is for you, young people. I don\'t want it."

He Xiaoyun explained: "This is a moisturizer. You can spread this to your face if it\'s dry in winter or summer."

"My face is the same as an old bark (of a tree). Wiping that in my face is a waste. You two can share it." Wang Chunhua resolutely refused.

About the silk scarf last time, the color is dark and she can still wear it when she has a guest. But what about the gift this time? If she moisturizes her face like her second daughter-in-law, and someone happened to see it, wouldn\'t others laugh at her? She\'s so old but still keeps up with the manners of the young people. 

The more she thought about it, the more Wang Chunhua felt that her second son was unreliable. How could a person who was so stable in the past become like this now?

He Xiaoyun had already decided to go to the army. She wrote to Wei Jianwei to tell them their departure time. If she waited for Jianwei to reply, the time it would take will be too long, so He Xiaoyun ran to the county again to take a telegram.

In the next few days, she started to pack her luggage. Her things are easy to pack, a few sets of clothes, some daily necessities, a few books, and nothing else. Wei Yuanhang’s baggage includes his little quilt, the building blocks, and his small pillow. 

After He Xiaoyun packed his clothes, she simply put all the other things in front of him, asking him to choose: "You are only allowed to bring two more. Choose by yourself."

This embarrassed the child, his small brows were frowning tightly, and his fingers stretched out to point at one thing to another, undecided.

He Xiaoyun asked: "Is the little quilt going to be taken?"

"Yes." Wei Yuanhang nodded.

She put the little quilt aside, looked around the pile of things, picked up the wooden box, put the pile of wood in it, and asked, "What about this?"

Wei Yuanhang looked at the wooden box, and then at the toys on the bed, nodding hard, "...Yes."

"Then that\'s fine. We will take these two things away. You can play with the rest as soon as you are still at home." He Xiaoyun smiled.

The child pouted pitifully, "Mom is bad."

He Xiaoyun squeezed his face, "Who told you to be my son?"

The closer the separation date is, the faster the time seems to pass. When He Xiaoyun goes out to wash clothes or take a walk these days, she will look at the scenery around her. Although she hasn’t been here for long, she likes it a bit although it’s not prosperous at all. It\'s a simple and beautiful place.

Two days later, after receiving a telegram from Wei Jianwei to confirm the pick-up time, He Xiaoyun took the child and left Qingshuihe.
