Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

Although I was mentally prepared, I once told myself that marrying a soldier means I have to accept that they will be on missions from time to time and will not be at home, and will not be able to be by my side in time when I need them.

But when this situation really happened, I found that all the psychological preparations were pale and useless.

After Yang Yi left, Ou Ruoxing lay on the bed, feeling very lonely and a little uncomfortable.

Habits are really scary things. In just half a month, I got used to having him next to me when I sleep.

I kept waking up and sleeping until dawn, and then I couldn't lie down anymore, so I got up and found something to do.

"Xiuying, go talk to Yizi's wife later. Yizi went on an emergency mission last night. This should be the first time Comrade Ou has experienced this. He must be feeling bad." Lei Zhen said to Tan Xiuying while having breakfast.

Tan Xiuying agreed without hesitation. She knew this feeling very well. In the early years, when Lei Zhen from their family had to go out on missions, she was also anxiously counting the days and waiting in agony.

Things got better in recent years, when he basically stopped going on missions.

"Knock knock" Tan Xiuying came directly to Ou Ruoxing's house with a sewing basket and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Ou Ruoxing had just packed up her things at home when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ruoxing, I am Aunt Xiuying." Tan Xiuying responded.

Hearing that it was Aunt Xiuying from Political Commissar Lei's family, Ou Ruoxing quickly walked to open the door, "Aunt Xiuying, why are you here? Come in!"

"Hi, I heard that your Yang Yi went out on a mission last night. I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable at home alone, so I came to see you." Aunt Xiuying said as she followed Ou Ruoxing into the house.

Ou Ruoxing paused when she heard this. Her emotions became unstable. Her eyes turned red and she choked up as she replied, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie! I know that as a soldier, it is his duty to go on missions. As a family member, I should support him unconditionally. But as soon as I found out that he had left, I felt very sad. I was worried that he would get hurt and that he would not be able to eat or sleep well outside..."

Aunt Xiuying hugged the delicate girl in front of her and patted her back gently, "My dear child, I understand! I went through the same thing! But my child, we must cheer up and take good care of ourselves when they are not with us. When they come back and see that we are healthy, they will feel at ease!"

Ou Ruoxing stayed in Aunt Xiuying's arms, crying silently. She understood the truth, but it was so difficult to actually do it!

Tan Xiuying didn't say much, but just kept patting her, silently accompanying her and comforting her.

She knew this feeling too well. All words were empty. As long as she didn't see the man return safely, her heart would not be at peace.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ou Ruoxing finally adjusted his emotions and came out of Tan Xiuying’s arms.

"Auntie, I'm sorry! I..." she said a little embarrassedly.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I understand. Don't think too much. Come and chat with me when you are free, or you can chat with your sisters Yu, Chunxiang, or Cuihua." Aunt Xiuying took her hand and patted it gently.

"Okay! As long as my aunts and sisters-in-law don't think I'm annoying!" Ou Ruoxing agreed with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Yu from next door also came to her house. Seeing the gate and hearing Tan Xiuying's voice, she said loudly, "Oh, I was thinking about finishing the work at hand and coming to see Sister Ruoxing earlier, but who knew that you, Auntie, would get the first place."

"Look at your sister-in-law Yu's unforgiving mouth. She even dares to make up stories about me." Aunt Xiuying smiled and pretended to blame her.

The three of them talked and laughed together, and the atmosphere finally became much better, and Ou Ruoxing's emotions also calmed down.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two said goodbye and left.

Ou Ruoxing also simply cooked a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles. After eating, she felt a little sleepy, so she went to take a nap.

After waking up from my afternoon nap, I sat at the desk by the window and busied myself with translating books.

When you are quiet and busy, time flies.

Perhaps it was because no one disturbed her and she didn't feel hungry. When the light dimmed, Ou Ruoxing realized that it was already evening.

Maybe I was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so I just ate something simple, washed up, and continued to translate.

In the next few days, she hardly went out, just ate, slept and translated quietly by herself.

This made other people who cared about her very anxious.

"Aunt Xiuying, Sister Ruoxing has hardly gone out these days. Look at this..." Li Yu's house is next door, so she knows clearly whether Ou Ruoxing has gone out or not.

"Oh, we've said what we need to say. What can we do? Isn't there a big fair in the nearby village tomorrow? Let's ask her to go out for a stroll together. It doesn't matter if we buy anything or not. Let's just treat it as a chance to relax!" Tan Xiuying was at her wit's end. She was also worried, but she couldn't go to her house every day.

This is too frequent. If some gossipy women in the family compound find out, I don't know what kind of gossip they will make up.

"Okay! Then when I go back I will tell Sister Ruoxing that she has never been to the market in such a long time!" Li Yu took the initiative to say.

Ou Ruoxing, who was being watched by everyone, had no idea that the people outside were making a fuss because she hadn't been out for a few days. She was completely immersed in the ocean of translation and couldn't extricate herself.
