Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2325: Chapter 2261: Thinking Too Far Ahead

”Brother Xinian, when have I ever interfered in your work duties?”

Except when I went to save him.

Chiang Xiao took a deep breath and continued, ”But, I want to know why.”

Why would he want to go, knowing she would be upset yet still wanting to go.

Meng Xinian sighed and said, ”I know saying this might sound a bit unrealistic, but it’s truly how I feel. As a Supervisor Guard, naturally, wherever we are needed, that’s where we should go. Going to a place still under attack, doing our utmost to save people, to protect their homes, I have no reason to refuse. If I hadn’t been listed originally, of course, I wouldn’t specifically volunteer, but if I am, then I can’t shrink back.”

Although now he has something to care about, his heart is softer, he cannot forget the original intention of being a Supervisor Guard.

”When I’m old and gray and toothless, talking to our grandchildren about my time as a Supervisor Guard, if they ask, Grandpa, why didn’t you go to help back then? What should I say?”

What he said was serious and heavy-hearted for her, but hearing Meng Xinian say it like that, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but want to laugh.

”You’re thinking way too far ahead.”

Already thinking about grandkids?

Might as well think about sons and daughters first.

”Not far at all, we will definitely walk together through life’s journey.”

”Are you so sure you’ll come back safely?” Chiang Xiao said, ”Don’t make it sound so easy, you know, you’ve got a previous record.”

Meng Xinian sighed again, ”Should I take more peace talismans with me?”

Isn’t there that thing?

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip.

”If I draw ten or eight of them, and have you wear them all, would you?”

”I would. I could just say my wife gave them to me. For these dispatch missions, they wouldn’t regulate such matters too strictly.”

Chiang Xiao puckered her lips and said, ”Then I’ll draw a hundred for you.”

Meng Xinian chuckled.

He knew she was just being playful, but knowing she truly worried, he could only softly agree.

”Anyway, the list isn’t finalized yet. It won’t be soon. There will be many things for the higher-ups to communicate.”

”Got it.” Chiang Xiao sighed quietly, ”Brother Xinian, make sure to train hard during this time, get your body in peak condition.”

She wouldn’t stop him.

So, if he truly was going, she could only do her best to support him.

In the coming time, she’d focus on drawing more peace talismans, and also experiment with other talisman diagrams.

”Little, you’re the best, I love you,” Meng Xinian said in a low voice.

How lucky he was to have met her.

If it were someone else, they might insist he not go.

”Brother Xinian, I love you too, so much.”

So if you do go, you must come back safe and sound.

After hanging up, Chiang Xiao sat in a daze for a long time, until someone knocked on the door.

Guan Tiezhu, seeing no response from her, went to open the door.

As the door opened, Old He walked in.

”Where’s Xiao Chiang?”

”She’s inside.”

Old He reached the living room and knocked on the open door, and Chiang Xiao glanced over. As Old He worked at the tea house and came over suddenly, could it be news from there?

”Old He, is something up?”

She asked anxiously.

”Xiao Chiang, the tea house business is doing well, but there’s a customer that’s difficult to handle,” Old He said.
