After checking the accounts of each shop and depositing them into the bank, Xia Enruo returned home alone.

Now that she enters the house, Gu Shaoxuan's presence is gone, and she feels a little uncomfortable being alone.

As her body grew heavier, she became increasingly sleepy. Before she even had a chance to eat after entering the room, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Fortunately, the faint scent of Gu Shaoxuan still lingered on the bed, and she slept very comfortably.

When I woke up, it was already past 9 p.m.

Xia Enruo went into the kitchen to heat up some food. She opened the freezer and put in bags of pre-portioned pork and cabbage buns.

They were arranged so neatly.

"This Gu Shaoxuan embodies the meticulous and orderly style of the military. Anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder would find it very satisfying to watch."

She picked up a bag of steamed buns and suddenly remembered what Gu Shaoxuan had said when he took them away: heat up a bag if you're hungry, and don't stay up late.

Xia Enruo was very obedient. She cooked some millet porridge and ate it with steamed buns, then went to bed early.

I thought that after buying a TV, I could leisurely watch it until late after dinner, but my uncooperative eyes have already started to drowsily fight each other.

In the military, preparations were underway for Deputy Division Commander Yan's inspection.

Gu Shaoxuan, Ding Haotian, and the others lived and ate at the military base, meticulously overseeing the soldiers' training.

Since the training program was changed after the Lunar New Year, the accuracy of the troops' shooting aiming has greatly improved.

The training exercises were much more effective than before.

Battalion Commander Gao Yong watched his soldiers make rapid progress and his lips curled into a wide smile.

There shouldn't be any problems when the higher-ups come to inspect this time.

Gao Yong had originally planned to go to Gu Shaoxuan to get some nice compliments.

But seeing him from afar wearing sunglasses and looking extremely serious with a stern expression, I still had second thoughts.

Forget it, I don't want the chief of staff to find fault with me. Instead of getting praise, I'll get a scolding.

Gu Shaoxuan's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were fixed on the soldiers' postures on the training field.

"Quickly find a place to hide, standing there is just making us live targets for the enemy!"

"Your hand gestures for interacting with teammates are not standard. Is this how you learn in theory? Go down and memorize them properly. Don't even think about sleeping until you've memorized them. If you transmit the wrong signals on the real battlefield, you'll lose your life."

"First Battalion Commander, you need to manage your soldiers better. The training intensity needs to be increased. They haven't made any progress in all this time."

Gu Shaoxuan shouted without any mercy on the training field. He always adhered to the belief that strict requirements were necessary to ensure a safe return from missions.

Gao Yong remained silent despite being scolded, thinking how close he had come to disaster.

Luckily I didn't go up and show off, otherwise I would have definitely gotten a severe scolding.

The performing arts troupe was doing their final rehearsal in the auditorium.

Lu Zhenhua made a special trip to the site to check on the rehearsal results.

"Commander Lu, we've rehearsed 'Daughter's Journey Through Wind and Rain' and 'Happy Chinese New Year' at least dozens of times. Please give us your feedback on this dress rehearsal."

The head of the cultural troupe sat down next to Lu Zhenhua and reported.

"Okay, let's begin."

On stage, Jiang Pei stood at the very front as the lead singer. She started the song, and it slowly began.

The comrades sang along in unison.

Jiang Pei forced a smile, though she was inwardly agonizing, but she couldn't show it.

"Xia Enruo is really lucky. She actually survived this time. Not only did she turn her image around and make her shop famous, but she also dragged Chen Yan down with her."

Since severing ties with her parents and moving in with Zhang Xin, Chen Yan has been calling Jiang Pei every few days to complain and vent her frustrations.

Jiang Pei rolled her eyes as she listened, and every day she encouraged her not to go home, not to apologize to her parents, and to find opportunities to frame Xia Enruo and Ge Qiuqin.

She had almost said all the things she didn't mean to Chen Yan.

In the end, she actually gave Chen Yan a suggestion: since Zhang Xin couldn't bring himself to kill the four kids, Chen Yan should find a way to sell the two youngest ones to human traffickers.

This not only cleared away two obstacles at once, but might also cause Ge Qiuqin to go insane in the end.

Jiang Pei and her comrades sang two songs in a row, and Lu Zhenhua was very satisfied with them.

"Excellent, the rehearsals have been very effective recently. They are refreshing and innovative. Keep it up, and bring out your best performance on the day of the official performance for the leaders to review."

When the head of the cultural troupe heard Lu Zhenhua's praise, he pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was secretly overjoyed.

It seems he has a good chance of making a contribution. If he can really promote these two songs, he will definitely be promoted again.

"Thank you for the praise, Commander Lu. Our cultural troupe will certainly live up to its mission and successfully complete the tasks assigned by the troupe."

Jiang Pei, listening on stage, pursed her lips and muttered under her breath:

"Complete my ass! Only the two of you would like such an awful song."

On the day Deputy Division Commander Yan arrived, the entire regiment conducted a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.

Even the most remote and shady spots were washed clean with water.

Lu Zhenhua led all the officers of the regiment to accompany the higher-level leaders on their inspection tour of the troops.

First, they inspected the infrastructure construction and training situation of each battalion, and then held a symposium to listen to the newly formulated training plan.

At the meeting, Gu Shaoxuan gave a detailed introduction and report on the new training plan.

Deputy Division Commander Yan was very satisfied with what he heard and had his subordinates take a copy of Gu Shaoxuan's report to use as an innovative model to report back to their superiors.

Lu Zhenhua was so excited when he saw this that he even patted Gu Shaoxuan's arm twice as he walked out of the conference room.

This indicates that he performed very well.

By evening, everything was already prepared in the auditorium of the regiment headquarters.

Jiang Pei and the others put on their makeup backstage early, waiting to go on stage to perform. They had prepared more than ten programs over the course of a month, and were looking forward to this performance.

The troupe specially arranged for Gu Shaoxuan to go home and pick up Xia Enruo to watch the performance together.

After all, she wrote these two new songs, and if the leaders ask about the inspiration behind them, she will need to explain and report on it.

Gu Shaoxuan helped Xia Enruo into the auditorium and sat her down in the second row behind the leaders.

"Shaoxuan, the regimental headquarters auditorium is much bigger than the military auditorium. Why didn't we hold the parties here the previous times?"

“Those previous performances were all for grassroots communities and to show our appreciation to the local people. This time, it’s a performance to report to higher-level leaders, so it’s different.”

"Oh, I see. I've been so busy lately, I haven't seen a performance in ages, I'm really excited."

Xia Enruo sat in her seat, her hand being held by Gu Shaoxuan. After all, they had to maintain their image in the military, so the two of them didn't sit too close.

"While I was away from home these past two days, did you behave and go to bed early?"

Gu Shaoxuan asked.

"Yes, you don't even need to remind me. I fell asleep as soon as I got home without even turning on the TV. Your two babies are obviously little lazybones. I'm getting lazy taking care of them."
