"Aunt, I'm here to see the political commissar. My wife came to see me from her hometown today. I was so busy the past two days that I forgot to ask for leave. I couldn't wait for the political commissar to go to work, so I had to come home to give her a leave note. I've always treated Jian Shanshan like a sister. I'll find some time to let her meet my sister-in-law. It's a good thing to have one more person to love her. Don't you think so?"

Out of consideration for Political Commissar Jian, Fu Wencheng did not embarrass the mother and daughter. He simply stated his position, which was considered as giving them a chance. If they continued to push forward like this, don't blame him for being angry.

"Yes...yes...haha, that...Old Jian, Old Jian, Wen Cheng is here and said he wants to talk to you about something."

They are all shrewd people. Fu Wencheng's words have made Jian Shanshan's thoughts clear. Her originally rosy and pretty face suddenly turned pale. Tan Shu felt distressed, and her originally enthusiastic smile disappeared. She took her daughter and went straight back to the house.

When Political Commissar Jian came out of the room, he heard the door slamming shut. He frowned and looked at the door of the next bedroom. Thinking that someone was there, he didn't say anything.

"Wen Cheng, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Political Commissar, my wife is coming over today. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to ask for leave. So now I'm here to bother you so early in the morning. I'm really sorry."

"Well, it's not a big deal. You are the top soldier in our Northern Military Region. You don't have any missions right now. Missing two days of training won't affect anything. Where's the leave note? I'll sign it for you. Your wife finally came here, so stay with her for two more days. When you have time, we can have a meal together."

Political Commissar Jian had a sincere smile on his square face, and he looked at Fu Wencheng with relief in his eyes.

This was a strong soldier who had grown up under his watch and had a strong character. He had thought about marrying him to Fu Wencheng a long time ago, but Fu Wencheng had no intention of doing so, so he couldn't force it.

"Thank you, Political Commissar Jian. I have rented a small courtyard in Baihe County. I will invite you over once I have it ready."

"Okay, okay. Our army's housing will not be completed until May or June next year. I'm sorry to trouble you two. Please keep working hard. When the housing is completed, I will be the first to approve a family housing for you. This way, you two don't have to live apart."

Political Commissar Jian knew that the lives of military wives were hard, and he admired them very much. They stayed behind the small family, endured hardships that ordinary people could not endure, and firmly supported the soldiers in charging on the front lines.

Besides, Fu Wencheng is newly married, and the couple doesn't even have a child. If they continue to divide the property like this, it might affect the relationship between the couple. Political Commissar Jian still attaches great importance to this aspect.

"Okay, thank you, Political Commissar Jian."

Political Commissar Jian waved his hand, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, signed the leave application, and let Fu Wencheng leave.

After everyone left, Political Commissar Jian knocked on his daughter's room door.

With a stern look on his face, he asked, "What's wrong with you two? The guest is still here, why did you leave him in the living room? You even closed the door so loudly, isn't it obvious that you don't welcome Wen Cheng?"

"Humph, you call Wen Cheng so affectionately every day, but she doesn't take you seriously at all. It's just you who always cares about the relationship."

"Bullshit, where did you come to this conclusion? Huh?"

"Look at Fu Wencheng's attitude. He would rather marry a country bumpkin than my Shanshan. He knows that my Shanshan likes him so much, but he still talks about meeting his sister-in-law one day and having more people to love her. Isn't this rubbing salt into my daughter's wounds? Besides, a country bumpkin is also worthy of being my Shanshan's sister-in-law? Pah."

"Tan Shu, your idea is very dangerous. What is Shanshan's status? She is just an ordinary female comrade. Counting back three generations, everyone in our two families is born in the mud. If it weren't for those pragmatic and hardworking working people, you wouldn't even have food to eat now. Wen Cheng rejected Shanshan a long time ago and said that he only treated her as a sister. It was you two shameless people who approached him. He was well-educated for not giving you a cold shoulder. With your temper, how can you raise a good child? I'm really glad that the eldest and the second child didn't grow up with you, otherwise I don't know what they would be like."

"Old Jian, you... you actually quarreled with my daughter and me because of an outsider? Shanshan is our daughter. It's fine if you don't love her, but you actually sided with an outsider. I think you, as a political commissar, have almost forgotten about this family."

"Shut up right there. Do you know where this is? You're just talking nonsense here. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? I think you don't know what you're talking about. You've wasted all those years studying."

Political Commissar Jian didn't want to stay at home and argue with Tan Shu, so he slammed the door angrily and went to his house.

Tan Shu was left there cursing, while Jian Shanshan, with tears in her eyes, was comforting her mother.

"Mom, it's all my fault. I liked someone I shouldn't have liked. But Dad clearly introduced Brother Wen Cheng to me before, so why...why did I go back home...wuwuwuwu, I can't accept it. Why am I not as good as his wife..."

"Shanshan, don't cry, don't cry, it's Fu Wencheng who is blind. You are gentle, pretty, and well-educated. It's his loss if he doesn't marry you. How can that country bumpkin compare with you? Be good, don't cry. Didn't Fu Wencheng just agree? He will treat us to a meal in a few days. When the time comes, mom will buy you some nice clothes. Just stand in front of his country bumpkin wife and show your ability. Mom promises that Fu Wencheng will definitely regret not marrying you."

"Mom, really? Are you really going to buy me new clothes?"

"Buy it, let's go now."

"Mom, you're so nice."

Jian Shanshan snuggled in her mother's arms, with tears on her face and a determined look.

The man she likes, haha, no one can take him away.

Fu Wencheng took the leave application, went back to the dormitory, got his things, and headed straight to the army gate.

Wan Xin was already waiting there.

"Captain, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, we would have missed the train."

"Let's go."

Fu Wencheng had his guards drive the regiment's military vehicle to wait at the door early in the morning. The two men quickly opened the door and got in.

The green military jeep instantly turned into a trail of shadow and sped towards the Baihe County Railway Station.
