Chapter 251 Peaceful Times, and We Are Still Young
Wang Haiyan only has three sisters. She looks down on others who favor sons over daughters, but she also wants to have a son. What you lack, you cherish even more, right?
"Who told you that? There really isn't such a thing! Otherwise, how come my mom gave birth to nine girls and not a single brother?"
However, I do have medicine to replenish qi and blood and nourish essence. I'll ask my grandfather for a bottle for you. Take one pill a day for a month.
"That's great! I'd like one for my sister too. How much is it? I can't just take it for free!"
"Hmm, two yuan a pill, thirty pills a bottle, buy one get one free, here are two bottles for you! Are you here to see me or to ask for a fertility pill? Why have you started beating around the bush since you started working?!"
"I really missed you, so I came to chat! But we just ended up talking like this, didn't we? Next time I get my medicine, I'll bring you some of our homemade pickled cabbage; this year's is especially good!"
"You should take it this time. You can get the pickled cabbage after the New Year when you have time. We're leaving after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Don't take too much, two pieces are enough!"
"Alright, alright, I'll go back first. I'll come back to collect your dowry on your wedding day!"

After leaving Qing Shi after the New Year, Tong Yuheng gathered several people from Feixian City who were so engrossed in their pleasures that they forgot about home, and then packed them up and sent them back.
Two members of the special operations team were also sent there; they would later assist Yu Yao in managing the ideological guidance and education of cultivators.
There is also corresponding policy interpretation and publicity work for the general public, all for the purpose of removing the barrier here in the future, so that everyone can better integrate into modern society.
When these people returned, they immediately told their families and friends about what they had seen and heard, and they did so with great enthusiasm! Everyone was so excited that they all hoped that they would be the ones to go out and see the world next time.
They also asked Tong Yuheng to bring in some gifts, mostly daily necessities: things like thermos flasks, glass mirrors, canned goods, and so on.
Feng Heming also brought a camera and took two rolls of film. He asked Yuyao to take them out to be developed and bring them back next time.
Now the people inside were even more eager to get out. Tong Yuheng told them not to worry, she would find a way to completely break the barrier as soon as possible, and then everyone could leave whenever they wanted.
She also taught several cultivators how to cooperate in opening the "loophole" in the barrier, so that every ten days or so, a group of people could go out, and staff outside would arrange for them to go to nearby towns to experience life.
However, they still have to go back. The living expenses given to them are limited, after all, the country is not rich and can't support tens of thousands of people for nothing.
Cultivators are taken on trips and missions with the action team; ordinary people are given some living expenses and arranged to work for a period of time in a factory or rural area, and then they are allowed to take some gifts home.
After returning to Yan City and sorting out her new job, Tong Yuheng decided that her personal presence wasn't always necessary, so she delegated daily tasks to Yuyao and the team leaders. She then applied to begin an open-style closed-door cultivation retreat!
The so-called open retreat means that she focuses on cultivation for a period of time, but it is not a complete shutdown from work. She will still participate in important matters, but for general matters, everyone can do their own job and there is no need to look for her.
Most of the special operations team members are scattered across different locations, and there are established rules and regulations for accepting and carrying out missions. Everyone can just continue in the same way as before.
There is also a personal strength rating system, with eight levels from low to high: GFEDCBAS. Each level is further divided into three tiers: no plus sign, single plus sign, double plus sign, and S level has two tiers: SS and SSS.
Currently, her ability rating is Super SSS, which is the highest level of strength.
She is proficient in formations, knows ancient magic, and has spatial abilities. What is even more remarkable is her high moral character. She is the daughter of a martyr and is a new generation nurtured by the new China.
The leaders had high hopes for her, and Tong Yuheng's subordinates were also very convinced of her abilities as the newly appointed captain, because she had defeated them all with overwhelming strength on her first day in office!
To thank everyone for visiting her that time, she gave each of them a set of medicinal pills. Of course, they were the regular version; she didn't want to "steal business" from Dong Wuyou!
Delivering the medicine was purely a personal act, done to thank everyone for enduring several days of hardship near the sinkhole and for participating in an armed rescue mission.
By employing a combination of kindness and firmness, she quickly won everyone over, gaining their recognition and respect. After all, this group believed that strength was what mattered.
Tong Yuheng chose to go into seclusion at the family compound of Li Chengsong's unit, where she was going to become a military spouse. At the same time, their plan to have a child was about to begin!
Li Chengsong applied for a family compound, a detached house with simple furnishings. He knew his wife had plenty of storage space and lacked nothing; she could decorate it however she liked when she arrived.
"Do you like it here? It's much smaller than our homes in Qingshi County and Chenjiatun."
Li Chengsong knew that she really liked having her own house. During the years she was overseas, she bought quite a few houses, owning one or more in almost every country. These locations later became contact points and refuges for some gay men.
"It's not small at all. It's just the two of us living here, and it's quite spacious. Aren't there large families of more than ten people living in Qingshi County?"
"Why don't you arrange a job for me that's publicly known? I'm worried you'll get bored."
"No! Our main task now is to pass on our bloodline! Otherwise, people will think I can't have children, and some little devils will try to steal my husband away!" Tong Yuheng joked.
"Don't talk nonsense! This is a military base, and we have a legitimate military marriage. Who would dare to ruin it?! Besides, I can't have anyone else in my heart but you!"
Looking at her youthful and beautiful face, which had hardly changed, Li Chengsong still felt the same flutter in his heart as when they first met.
"Oh, you've got a sweet tongue, haven't you? But I haven't been here for the past six months, and you've been living in the dorm all by yourself. Has no one thought you were single and tried to make a move on you?"
"No, I'm busy all day long!" Li Chengsong put his arm around her hand and whispered in her ear, "We can finally spend a lot of time together!"
"Yes, this is the peaceful and stable life I've been longing for. Life is good, and we're still young..."
This warm and sweet moment was ruthlessly interrupted by a knock on the door. Tong Yuheng used his divine sense to observe and found a long-haired beauty standing outside the door carrying two lunch boxes.
Li Chengsong frowned, annoyed at being disturbed. He was about to open the door when Tong Yuheng pulled him back: "You said nobody cared? Isn't this a beautiful woman delivering food to your door?"
