...

Chen Rou's phone beeped; it was a flip phone, and she could see the message with a single press.

It was sent by Nie Zhao, asking how A Yuan was doing, whether he missed him, and whether he wanted to pick him up from the airport tomorrow.

Chen Rou lifted the lid, quickly replied "No need," and closed it again.

At this point, she actually wanted to say goodbye, but Xiao Zhang didn't take out his knife and kept checking his watch, so he must have something to keep her here. The children were also having fun, so Chen Rou decided to have some tea for the time being.

Sure enough, the phone rang in the bedroom a little while later, and Xiao Zhang went in to answer it.

A little while later, she came out again with a smile, clapped her hands and said, "Minmin, let's go, take your little brother downstairs to play."

Minmin had been playing with Ayuan in the room for a long time. Now she took Ayuan out, but Ayuan was wearing a small tiger-head hat. Minmin asked, "Mommy, look, where's my little hat? He looks so handsome in it."

Xiao Zhang laughed when he saw it: "It's true, this child looks good no matter how he's dressed up."

A Yuan is so good-looking that even a rustic tiger-head hat looks incredibly cute on him.

After being praised and kissed by the young lady, A Yuan's face immediately became a meme.

Actually, just now, she complained to her husband, and her husband complained to his second brother. Since it involves the special economic zone, the complaint should be quite successful. The second brother is very angry. Of course, the good days for the eldest brother and his wife are over.

So when her husband called, Ms. Zhang felt much better.

The old man had arranged for Chen Rou to visit the museum, but Xiao Zhang had to go down to military training every year and three months without fail. If her clothes couldn't compare, what about her physical fitness and various sports? They had to be compared.

Springtime in the capital is windy. After going downstairs, she said, "It's too windy at the museum, it's not good for the kids. Let's go to our unit's gym for a bit, let the kids get some exercise. By the way, do you know how to play tennis or table tennis?"

Chen Rou said, "Anything is fine. I'll play whatever you like."

This is exactly what Xiao Zhang wanted. She flicked her wrist and said, "My specialty is marksmanship."

He laughed and said, "Just kidding. That was our military training, not entertainment. But I'm passing in darts, archery, and javelin. We have to be tested on military skills every year."

She was holding Ah Yuan's arm, while Xiao Minmin was holding Chen Rou's hand.

Chen Rou could tell that Xiao Zhang, like her, was quite competitive and his skill level was probably good as well.

But no matter what, she's a leader, so as long as she passes, that's fine.

But Chen Rou was a soldier, and the best soldier at that; she excelled in every single thing Xiao Zhang mentioned.

Just playing along, and to avoid dampening the leader's enthusiasm, Chen Rou will consider going easy on him a bit.

He ran into a few family members, one of whom asked, "Colonel Zhang, are you also planning to resign and go into business?"

Most women don't have the same ambition as men. A senior colonel is a four-star officer, the most impressive among ordinary people. But Xiao Zhang is holding a male dog, dressed in camouflage just like her. Could it be her child?

Is she also prepared to give up her future and have another child?

A Yuan's behavior this time was beyond his mother's expectations. It was probably because Xiao Zhang was also wearing camouflage. He wasn't shy at all, and he hugged her neck affectionately, just like her son.

Xiao Zhang asked everyone with a proud smile, "Look at my little darling, isn't she cute?"

A relative came over and took A Yuan's hand, asking with a smile, "Is she really your daughter? She's so beautiful, another daughter?"

Jokes should have their limits. Xiao Zhang looked at Chen Rou and said, "My sister's son is born."

The family members were truly shocked: "It's actually a boy?"

Looking at Chen Rou again, I thought, "This girl must work in the south; she's dressed so fashionably."

Another family member said, "This girl must be in business. Judging from her outfit, she's probably a millionaire."

Their imagination of the rich is like the common people guessing that the emperor uses a golden hoe, and that it only goes as far as millionaires. Of course, they can't imagine that for the truly rich, a million is just pocket change.

Xiao Zhang actually wants another child. People with sons want daughters, and people with daughters want sons. It's not that he prefers boys to girls, but he wants to experience the joy of raising children of different genders.

Someone mistook her for A Yuan's mother, and Xiao Zhang was in a good mood.

Ah Yuan was being polite, as it was his first time in the gymnasium. He was dazzled by the many people playing there, pointing here and there, and asking Xiao Zhang what the people in the distance were doing with the big ball and the people playing with the small ball.

Although Xiao Zhang thought A Yuan was cute, he was unwilling to lose to his mother.

She called over two young soldiers to help watch the child, loosened her wrists, and prepared to compete with Chen Rou.

It had been a long time since Chen Rou had played in a stadium like this, so she shook her wrists.

However, although Xiao Zhang was giving it her all, for her, it was just like playing ball with her boss—a mere formality.

Just make the boss happy, so any random calls will do.

At the same time, Yue Zhongqi, who had just hung up the phone, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Captain Chen, slap me."

Chen Ke retorted, "Are you crazy? Why would I slap you?"

Yue Zhongqi was stunned for a moment, then slapped himself to make sure his face hurt and that what he had just heard was true. Only then did he say, "It was our boss who called me personally just now. Guess what?"

Chen Ke tensed up: "What's wrong?"

Yue Zhongqi opened his mouth and closed it several times before finally saying, "I was seconded to the 'Wang Meng Special Task Force' and I'm the team leader."
