Rebirth in Another World

I thought parting was just to deal with some trivial matters of resignation and handover, but I didn't expect that war was about to start, Li Shang guarded the border all year round, how could he say resignation at this time.

Bai Ran pretended nothing had happened, put the letter back on Li Shang, and said to the proprietress, "Have you eaten yet, why don't you stay for lunch, as there are a few new foods in the workshop."

As soon as she mentioned the things in the workshop, the voice of the proprietress who wanted to refuse immediately changed, "That's troublesome."

It was not too far before lunch, Bai Ran nodded politely, got up and went into the warehouse to pick out a few new dishes, cut them up and put them on the plate, because they were all meat, he fried two more vegetarian dishes to match.

During the meal, the three of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere was so dull. After the meal, the proprietress saw that Li Shang didn't reply, and left after a while.

Bai Ran skillfully tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, fed Taotao, and when Taotao fell asleep, she took out a bag and began to pack things for Li Shang.

Clothes, dry food, money, after thinking about it, he took out a thin blanket at home and stuffed it in, checked it twice after packing, and felt unsatisfied.

He opened the wooden box sealed with supernatural powers, took out six hundred taels of silver bills, and took out 400 taels of the money he earned these days and put them together in his luggage.

Li Shang has been watching silently from the side, and stopped his movement when he saw this, "I don't need money."

Bai Ran didn't listen to him, and stuffed the banknotes into a piece of clothing, "Take it with you, it's not like being at home outside, and you'll be troubled if you don't have the money when you need it."

Li Shang disagreed: "The money is your bottom of the box, and you gave it to me, which is equivalent to emptying out the bottom. What will you do in the future, what will Taotao do?"

"I still have it on hand, and I don't need any money at home. You...be careful outside alone, don't...lose yourself and you won't even be able to find your home." Bai Ran hated his own reason for the first time, If he is a villager who only knows how to farm and cook, can he let his emotions threaten the other party not to leave now?

Li Shang couldn't help hugging Bairan in his arms, "Even if I crawl, I will crawl back, I'm afraid Taotao won't know me as a father anymore."

I don't know how long this battle will last, it may be months, or it may be years. He is even more afraid that he will not come back alive and let his wife and children down.

Bai Ran said: "Isn't there still me? When Tao Tao grows up, I will tell him how stupid his father is. Once a day, when it comes to his boredom, don't we still have a portrait in our family, and I will show it when the time comes. Let him see it every day."

Li Shang smiled and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Why don't I go to the battlefield with you..." Bai Ran felt uncomfortable, and subconsciously said it, but even if he had the ability to fight side by side with Li Shang, the reality would not allow him to go to the battlefield. It's not allowed, and it's not allowed for Taotao, the father has already left, and the child can't even lose his father, "I'm just talking casually, I won't go anywhere, I will just stay here and wait for you to come back."

"Okay." Li Shang took a deep breath and calmed down, "I'm going to take the pillar with me, and this is also an opportunity for him."

Bai Ran worried: "I'm afraid his mother won't agree, after all, the battlefield is not a child's play, and there is a danger of death at any time."

"It's up to him. If he can convince his parents, he will go. Otherwise, he can just retire in Taoxi Village." Li Shang also put his mind to Mr. Chen. If Chen Zhu can't even overcome this trouble, then Just go home and farm.

Bai Ran pushed him: "Go and talk to him, I'll pack your things for you."

Li Shang let him go, nodded and left.

In the afternoon, the proprietress entrusted someone to send two fast horses for Li Shang's journey.

Before dark, Li Shang sent Taotao to Wang Lana, asked his helper to stay for a day, and when he returned, he pressed Bairan on the kang, lingering to death.

Thinking of the parting the next day, Bai Ran also indulged, even if he was about to faint, he didn't stop.

After the end, Li Shang washed the two of them, and then lay quietly with Bai Ran in his arms, without sleep all night...

-

When Bai Ran woke up, the side was already empty, he turned his head to look at the table, the package that was placed on it yesterday was gone, only a few pieces of paper were left under the weight of the teacup.

He braced himself up and looked at it. It was five hundred taels of silver bills and a piece of paper with only two words written on the paper: "Wait for me".

Li Shang pulled him hard yesterday to make it clear that he didn't want him to send him off, fearing that he would feel even more uncomfortable when the time came.

Bai Ran stared at the words on the paper quietly, feeling as if a piece had been dug out of her heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Wang Lan sent Taotao back, and when she entered the room, she saw Bai Ran's expression, she was a little puzzled, "Ranzi, what are you doing?"

Bai Ran regained consciousness, quickly picked up the paper and banknotes and stuffed them into the wooden box, and replied, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry."

Wang Lan handed Taotao to Bairan, and asked casually, "Where's Boen, why didn't you see him?"

Bai Ran was stunned, and lowered his eyes to his son's small face, "He has something to do, so he's leaving."

Wang Lan thought she was out to do some errands, so she didn't ask any further questions, seeing that Bai Ran went out to work with the big guy after dinner.

Ruan Lin came in the afternoon, and passed all the orders in his hand to Bai Ran as usual, "The few sheets below are the food and medicinal materials I ordered, and I have already received some of them, and put them in the old Liu's house at the east end of the village. In the old house, here is the key, I paid the rent for a month first, you see..."

Bai Ran said: "I don't worry about you doing things. The old house of the Liu family is a green brick and tile house. Although it is a bit old, it is still solid. I will get you money, and you can buy it and change it. Stronger locks, and finally find some people to dig a cellar, dig some concealment, and then hide half of the grain in the house, and collect the rest of the list as soon as possible.”

Ruan Lin nodded and hesitated, "Brother Bai, are we really going to fight?"

Bai Ran smiled wryly, "Maybe, we're close to the border, so it won't hurt to make more preparations."

Ruan Lin gritted his teeth, thinking of his daughter-in-law and unborn child, he turned around and walked out, wishing he could fly, "Okay, I'll do it now."

Time will not stop because of the absence of a person, but it will make the missing a little bit into the bone marrow, go out to take care of Taotao's time, Bai Ran tries to keep himself busy, and this will make him feel better.

Autumn and winter came, when the north wind blew the first snow, the war at the border finally started. When the news came, people panicked overnight and prices soared.

The news from Bai Ran's side was sent by the proprietress, followed by a letter, but it was not written by Li Shang, but sent by Li Sheng who was far away in the capital.

Li Shang is in an important position, and besides sending memorials to the capital, he can't write other letters to pass on, otherwise, if someone catches him, he will be accused of leaking military information, and he will have to be stripped of his skin if he is not dead.

So even though the couple miss each other, they have to keep in touch and can only keep everything in their hearts.

Li Sheng's letter was as brief as usual, just explaining that he had handed in his resignation letter a few days ago, and that he was waiting for the emperor to release him. He also said that everything was fine at the border, so that his daughter-in-law could rest assured.

Bai Ran carefully put the letter into his purse, put it together with the piece of paper written by Li Shang, and then solemnly said to the proprietress, "Thank you."

The proprietress hesitated to speak, and said with a wry smile: "I understand your suffering, but as long as he is still alive, you will be reunited one day."

Bai Ran nodded, and didn't answer the question. The lady boss looks glamorous, but her husband died early, and her child died young. The family's business is only supported by her as a woman. In terms of hardship, Bai Ran is not as miserable as her. At least Li Shang is still alive. , He still has Taotao, and he has thoughts in his heart to support him, but the proprietress only has Liu Ji left.

The proprietress went on to say: "By the way, my recent order will be halved. If there is a war, the business of the restaurant will be difficult."

Saying this is just a reminder, with my mind on it, Bai Ran thanked me again.

After seeing off the proprietress, he entrusted Aunt Yu to watch Taotao, and went to Wang's house to tell the news about the war.

It was winter, and the Wang family were all nestling in the big house to keep warm. When Wang Lan heard this, she immediately thought of Li Shangna, "What a crime!"

The Wang family often came and went, so they found out that something was wrong on the third day after Li Shang left. After Bai Ran admitted, Wang Lan and Cheng Yongfei took turns to guard him for half a month, until he was sure that he was really fine. .

Cheng Yongfei said the same thing as Li Shang, "Ranzi, why don't you take Taotao to the capital."

Bai Ran smiled and refused, "No need, the capital city is good, but now it's winter, the wind is hard, Tao Tao is too young to bear it, and I think it's good to be here."

Wang Lan regretted and said: "If only I stopped Lao Bai's family from letting you two get married, it would have been fine. With so many things going on, I would rather Boen has always been a fool and lived a poor life with you."

Wang Jinshui patted Wang Lan on the shoulder, "It's fate and destiny for the two of you to be together. If you can stop today, you won't be able to stop tomorrow. Boen and Ranzi are both blessed, and you can't go wrong."

Wang Lan sighed, as a tacit consent.

Bai Ran said: "Let's talk about the war. Although we are still a little far from the border, I'm afraid that the future will be difficult if the price rises. The peace and prosperity have passed for too long. I am afraid that this war will not be able to be fought for a while. It’s over, I’ve prepared food and so on, there’s no shortage, see what you’re missing and prepare it in advance, the price is estimated to rise.”

Wang Shi said: "Why don't Zihan and Chunzi come back? The town is full of people, and Taoxi Village has fewer people, so it's safer."

Although Wang Lan was also worried about Wang Chun, she didn't mean to let him come back, "I have to ask the Zhao family about this, after all, Chunzi was married."

"Let's go to the town now to have a look, but you should go home quickly, don't let Taotao stay alone, the child is young, so don't be scared if there are no adults around." Wang Jinshui said He dragged Wang Lan down to put the shoes on.

"I asked Aunt Yu to watch it for me. I'll go back now." Bai Ran didn't want to leave Taotao for too long, so she went out of the yard with Wang Jinshui and Wang Lan.
