"Nonsense! You're all being ridiculous!"

Xiao Aiguo was furious when he saw Yang Yufeng, who was disheveled and had a bruised and swollen face.

If word got out that a military wife beat another military wife, people would laugh themselves to death.

Turning back to look at Li Shulan, Zhao Lanying, and the others, he said angrily:

"To get you out as soon as possible, Commander Gao and I went to great lengths, begging and pulling strings. And this is how you repay us when you come back?!"

The group lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xiao Aiguo.

However, they were not convinced. Yang Yufeng deserved to be beaten, it was just a pity that Xiao Ting got away.

"Waaah, Political Commissar, they beat me so badly! You have to do me justice! Ouch, ouch..."

Xiao Ting, her face grim, stood to the side and said, "Political Commissar Xiao, these people tried to beat me up. You'd better deal with them properly!"

Looking at the group, she felt a lingering fear; if she hadn't run fast, she would have been caught.

She glanced at Yang Yufeng's miserable state and shuddered inwardly.

"Comrade Xiao Ting, please help Yang Yufeng back to the medical room, apply some gentian violet to her, and give her another check-up."

"I?"

Xiao Ting pointed to herself, somewhat reluctantly.

Of all the people who were shouting that they wanted to hit me, Yang Yufeng's voice was the loudest.

"You're a doctor, who else could it be but you? Hurry up."

Xiao Aiguo was in a bad mood. He looked back at the group and felt a headache coming on. He didn't know what to do.

Beside her, Xiao Ting gritted her teeth and helped Yang Yufeng up.

"Ouch, be gentle, it hurts, ouch..."

Xiao Ting rolled her eyes and pulled her towards the troupe.

“Each of you will write a self-criticism and personally apologize to Comrade Yang Yufeng. You will split her medical expenses equally.”

Xiao Aiguo pondered for a moment, then continued, "Also, you few form a political study group and go to the auditorium once a week to study hard and reflect on your actions!"

“Political Commissar, it was Yang Yufeng who reported us first. She’s a despicable person, she deserves to be beaten.”

"That's right, that's right, I'm not going to apologize to her."

Li Shulan, Zhao Lanying, and the others were still unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Aiguo's face immediately darkened.

He waved his hand and said to a few soldiers beside him, "Take them to the regiment and put them in solitary confinement. Also, notify their spouses to come and pick them up from me, hmph!"

"yes."

After the soldiers escorted them away, Xiao Aiguo stood there and sighed.

He looked back at the family compound and began to ponder to himself.

So much has happened in the family compound in the past six months; it's really impossible to manage it without someone in charge.

Old Gao's wife was originally quite good, cultured and prestigious, but unfortunately, Sister-in-law Shuhua was always in the provincial capital's cultural troupe and could only come back a few times a year.

As for his wife, Xiao Aiguo never even considered it; his wife couldn't do this kind of work.

"Sigh, if only Lu were a little older."

...

Lu Fangfang had no idea what happened next; she slept until dark.

When she woke up, she pinched her brow, feeling a slight headache.

She got up and went to the outer room, where she found Zhuang Mingcheng had returned. He was sitting in the middle of the room, washing lynx bones with clean water.

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox lay on either side of him, watching curiously.

"Meow~"

Little Flower sniffed the lynx skull; its furry head seemed eager to explore.

Lu Fangfang leaned against the door frame, quietly watching this scene.

Zhuang Mingcheng looked up and said with a smile, "You're awake? I cooked some porridge, you should eat some."

“Comrade Zhuang, these bones belong to the farm. It’s not right for you to take them home.”

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to Sister Shufen, and I'll pay for the replacement bones."

Zhuang Mingcheng scooped the bones out of the basin, wiped them with a handkerchief, and then placed them on the windowsill.

He turned around, took a brown paper package, and solemnly placed it in front of his wife.

"What is this?"

Lu Fangfang looked at the large package with some confusion.

“It was sent from Beijing. Dad said he wanted to send us a gift, so this is it.”

Lu Fangfang glanced at her husband and knew it must have been his idea; she had told him she didn't want it.

Curious about what was inside, she reached out and started to take it apart.

Layer upon layer, it's clear that the old man was very careful when mailing it.

When it was finally taken apart, a dark red leather case was revealed inside, which looked like a rectangular box, and there was a piece of rope that could be hung around the neck.

Lu Fangfang's eyes immediately lit up.

As soon as she saw the leather case, she knew what was inside.

camera!

Back then, the most popular camera was the Seagull camera!

"This...this, Mingcheng, this is too precious, I...I can't accept it, I can't accept it."

As she spoke, she hugged the things to her arms.

Oh dear, heaven knows how long she's wanted a camera, and now it's finally come true.

With a camera, she could capture all the scenery of the Qilian Mountains.

There are also various wild animals and plants, so she will never have any regrets again.

Seeing his wife's insincere expression, Zhuang Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh.

He opened another small box in the package, revealing five or six rolls of film inside.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang couldn't resist and started fiddling with it herself.

Oh dear, Dad is so thoughtful, he even sent over rolls of film.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Zhuang's mother. Sigh, what a waste of Dad's life, marrying such a wife.
