As Gu Ye approached forty, he reached a height that many people never achieve in their entire lives.

This man, who entered military school at the age of fifteen and survived several brushes with death, experienced a dramatic change in his life after meeting a woman named Lin Baoni.

"Wife, thank you for letting me experience the beauty of life. Thank you for making me realize that being alive is very important!"

Lying on the canopy bed that Bao Ni had longed for for two lifetimes, Gu Ye held Bao Ni in his arms, feeling deeply moved.

"Our destiny is ordained by God. Because of you, I am very happy, and we will continue to be happy together. Our children will grow up and leave us. In the end, we will only have each other."

Bonnie doesn't believe she'll become an empty nester; she'll make her retirement life vibrant and fulfilling!

"Go to sleep. I don't know how long it will take for you to get your flesh back. It feels rough to the touch."

Gu Ye was still half asleep, thinking that he must fatten up his wife's body.

Bonnie didn't think she was that thin; she felt alright. She didn't care whether she was thin or fat, as long as she was healthy.

In the morning, Gu Ye and Bao Ni cooked breakfast together, as the children hadn't returned from their morning exercise yet.

"Gu Ye, talk to the logistics department about hiring a housekeeper for our house. Luckily, there are no houses behind or to the east of our house, otherwise, it wouldn't be right to have a dignified division commander cooking every day!"

Bonnie mainly felt that Gu Ye would be busier with work in the future and wouldn't have as much time to cook. Although Sanqi wasn't in junior high yet, she would be in fifth grade next semester and would also be facing the transition from elementary to junior high, so her studies would be quite intense.

The child has to go home and cook every day after school, and she, as a mother, can't bear it!

"I understand. I'll have Chen Li handle it when I get to work. I have a meeting this morning, and the focus of my work has shifted somewhat. In addition to training, there are also some administrative tasks to be done."

Honey, I'm planning to learn English. I'll have Sanqi teach me. Do you want to learn? You'll need English a lot in the future, so it's good to be prepared.

Gu Ye studied Russian in college and hadn't studied English systematically, but he knew some basic English. He paid attention when his children spoke it.

Gu Ye was admitted to university at the age of fifteen, which shows that his IQ is not low. Among his two children, the difference between the three and seven is more pronounced, while the six and nine is also very active in thinking.

"Sure, we've got nothing else to do anyway, might as well let Sanqi review. But Sanqi's memory is really good; he memorizes things very quickly and retains them very well."

Of all the books in the house, he reads the most, and he's also read quite a few of Teacher Zhai's books, both domestic and foreign. Those few days, I saw him reading original English books, and he was reading them very fluently.

Bonnie felt that her son Sanqi was almost as good as having a photographic memory, except that he was a bit sharp-tongued.

The couple prepared breakfast, and their children returned home.

"Dad, this residential compound has a small training ground with a running track, a 400-meter obstacle course, and other training facilities. It's much better than our previous residential compound."

She had already figured it out during her morning exercise on the 6th, and she liked it.

"There must be a reason why so many people want to be high-ranking officials."

Sanqi's words drew glares from several people.

"I'm telling the truth. These days, no matter how you tell the truth, people don't like you."

After saying that, Sanqi quickly went to wash up.

There are bathrooms on both floors of the house. Sanqi and the other men use the downstairs bathroom, while Baoni and Liujiu use the upstairs bathroom.

While taking a shower, Liu Jiu looked at the showerhead and realized that San Qi's words weren't wrong.

Her previous apartment building didn't have a shower, but this new building has hot and cold water shower facilities. Although the supply can't keep up with overuse, and you have to boil water yourself to pour it in, it's enough for normal showers.

After breakfast, some went to work and others went to school. Bonnie did the final cleanup work, arriving at school half an hour late.

Bonnie locked the door, picked up her things, and headed to school. She thought to herself that during her break this week, she would turn over the courtyard and the ground in the yard, and in about half a month, the seedlings would be ready to be planted.

And the fishpond next door has quite a few fish now; I wonder if I should stock it with some more fry. The fruit trees I planted last year should be flowering this year too. I wonder if the lotus roots will continue to sprout…

I haven't figured it out yet, and I've already arrived at school. I'll stop thinking about it for now and get to work.

"Lin Baoni, congratulations, young division commander's wife!"

As soon as Lan Hua saw Bao Ni, she congratulated her. She had only learned from her uncle's house yesterday that Lin Bao Ni's husband had been promoted, from brigade commander to division commander. Her uncle even remarked that the younger generation was indeed formidable.

"Thank you, I'm still adjusting."

Bonnie is really adjusting. In the morning, the guards drive to pick up Gu Ye for work, and there are also orderly soldiers following behind. The car has also been changed. Everything seems a bit unreal.

Just a moment ago, Gu Ye was cooking while wearing an apron, but in the blink of an eye, he changed into a military uniform, and his entire aura changed. Bao Ni thought Gu Ye looked very handsome, especially since her brother Ye always works out and maintains a good physique, with eight-pack abs, and he looked particularly neat in his military uniform.

"Oh, you're just trying to piss me off. I've lost all hope in this life. You've moved into your new apartment building, haven't you? How's it going? Are you comfortable living here?"

Lan Hua's husband was of average ability; if it weren't for her uncle's help, he might have retired from the army long ago.

"It's alright. We just moved in, and we haven't finished unpacking yet, but the kids seem to like it. The training ground is quite well-organized."

Bonnie hasn't been there yet, but her friend Liu Jiu said it's good, so it must be really nice.

"Yeah, it's similar to the military training grounds, just not as comprehensive. My kid likes it there too, but he's not very physically fit."
