Liu Jingyi took the items and went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, after all, she needed to appease the man of the house before visiting her Maternal Grandmother and the others.
Liu Jingyi bought quite a few things, planning to cook a delicious meal for Leng Yunting that evening to reward him properly.
Unexpectedly, what she received was the news that he had to go on a mission.
Liu Jingyi outwardly showed extreme reluctance to part, but inwardly she thought, Heaven truly treats her too well.
She had originally been considering how to persuade him to let her go to Niuzhuang to see her Maternal Grandmother and Maternal Uncle!
Niuzhuang was still quite far from where they were now, about twenty kilometers away.
The place they were currently in was already poor enough, and the Niuzhuang where the Song Family stayed was even more so. Moreover, Old Mrs. Song's body was not well, and she had to do a lot of work every day; Liu Jingyi didn't know if she could hold on.
After all, the other members of the Song Family were not people capable of farm labor.
After eating, Liu Jingyi and Leng Yunting started packing his luggage.
While packing the luggage, Liu Jingyi was thinking about how to subtly go see the Song Family while Leng Yunting was away, completely unaware that he was already behind her.
Leng Yunting stood behind her like that, silent and staring at her; he truly was heartless.
Usually, she wasn't this proactive about anything he asked her to do, but she was very diligent when packing his luggage.
"What, you're that eager to see me go?"
Leng Yunting's sudden remark startled Liu Jingyi.
Liu Jingyi turned around and saw his gloomy expression, only feeling that this person in front of her was so moody!
Although the Original Body was unreliable, since she arrived, she had been trying every day to please him, yet this person’s heart seemed to be made of stone.
Hard as a rock; she was clearly being very well-behaved, couldn't he see that?
"Husband, why would you say that? But you are a Soldier! Can I say no to you going?" Liu Jingyi looked up at him and said.
Leng Yunting looked at the heartless woman before him and snorted coldly!
She really had changed; now she even knew how to use words to block him.
Seeing that he didn't reply but his expression had clearly softened, Liu Jingyi then smiled sweetly, "Why aren't you changing your clothes? Are you leaving right now?"
At this moment, Liu Jingyi only wanted to send him off quickly so she could be more at ease.
"As you wish, we leave tonight," Leng Yunting said flatly.
Liu Jingyi controlled the joy inside her, coughed awkwardly twice, hid the smile in her eyes, and put on a reluctant appearance.
Leng Yunting looked at her demeanor and knew she was acting; she probably wished he would leave sooner!
Leng Yunting didn't say anything, directly sat down, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said in a low voice, "Wife, did you forget something?"
How could Liu Jingyi not understand the desire in the man's eyes? Her face instantly flushed hot, turning extremely red.
Leng Yunting seemed to notice her shyness, but given her recent performance, he didn't want to let her off so easily.
His hand rested casually on Liu Jingyi's waist, his Lips moved close to her ear, and he whispered softly, "We're practically an old married couple, what are you shy about?"
Although Liu Jingyi was from modern times, she found that she was no match for Leng Yunting at all; he didn't seem like someone from this era.
Liu Jingyi dared not speak at all then, just quietly looking at him.
Although she hadn't interacted with him much, she always felt as if, by some destiny, they had known each other for a long time. From what she knew, once Leng Yunting went on a mission, he wouldn't return for at least half a month.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little reluctant for him to leave.
Once a man has tasted meat, how could he possibly want to go back to vegetarian food? Especially since Liu Jingyi, who seemed to have changed into a different person, was even more alluring!
Leng Yunting looked at the little woman in his embrace, his eyes full of tenderness, but when Liu Jingyi looked up at him, his expression reverted to the cold look from before.
But he still said with a touch of unease, "If anything happens, go find Xiao Zhao at the guard post."
Liu Jingyi nodded obediently and said, "Mm."
Seeing her so well-behaved, Leng Yunting couldn't resist lowering his head and kissing her for a long time until Liu Jingyi couldn't breathe, then he let her go.
Of course, Leng Yunting was still unsatisfied, but he knew time was short and didn't cause too much trouble.
Liu Jingyi, however, was extremely happy; she had finally sent the man away.
The next morning, Liu Jingyi happily took a vehicle to Niuzhuang.
Liu Jingyi wasn't foolish; she didn't dress glamorously but applied makeup that even her father wouldn't recognize if he stood before her.
Liu Jingyi dressed like someone who had fallen on hard times and was coming to rely on relatives. During this era, everyone had a hard time, and people were afraid of poor relatives showing up out of nowhere, so they kept their distance.
Even so, Liu Jingyi quietly went to see the Original Body's Maternal Grandmother and Maternal Uncle's family.
Old Mrs. Song had caught a chill from the rain the day before yesterday and was sick, lying in bed when Liu Jingyi arrived; the others were already up and about.
"Jingyi, why are you here? Is Yunting treating you badly, or did your father listen to that Woman again?"
The Old Lady, upon seeing Liu Jingyi, forgot that she was sick and quickly asked.
"Maternal Grandmother, slow down."
"Grandma is fine. Why are you here? Were they bullying you?"
"No, no, Maternal Grandmother, don't you know me? How could they bully me? It would be good enough if I didn't bully them!"
"You!"
Although Liu Jingyi was not the Original Body, she could genuinely feel the love the Old Lady before her had for her.
"Maternal Grandmother, why are you sick?"
"Be good, Grandma is fine, I just got a little wet from the rain. Also, why did you come here? This isn't a place you should be. Hurry back."
"Maternal Grandmother, I'm fine. These are for you and my Maternal Uncle and Aunt. Although there aren't many things, I will find a way to bring you food often later."
The Old Lady quickly grabbed Liu Jingyi's hand, "No, no, this isn't a place for you to come. You can't let outsiders know you have contact with us, or all of Grandma's previous efforts will be wasted."
Liu Jingyi comforted the Old Lady, "Maternal Grandmother, don't worry, I will be very careful. But I've been out for a long time; I really should go back. Take care of your body, and I'll visit you again next time."
"Then take care on your way, Grandma will see you off."
"No need, you should lie down quickly. Don't forget to take this medicine."
"Got it, little housekeeper. Go back and live life well with Yunting, do you hear me?"
"Got it, I'm leaving now."
"Good. Avoid people on the road, hear me?"
"Mm."
After delivering the items to them, Liu Jingyi felt much better. She had avoided one plot point from the book, and later, when she and Leng Yunting divorced, she believed the Song Family wouldn't abandon her either.
Liu Jingyi chatted briefly with the Old Lady, left the items, and returned.
Although Liu Jingyi had disguised herself, at this time, being cautious was never wrong.
Leng Yunting had gone on his mission, and before returning, he made a trip back to J City.
