Just as Jiang Yue and Ning Ning arrived at the gate of the 179th Division's family quarters, a car horn sounded behind them.

She looked back and saw a convoy of troop carriers, at least a dozen of them, coming towards her in a mighty procession, one after another.

Jiang Yue thought she was blocking the military vehicle's way, so she took Ningning to the side of the road, but the military vehicle stopped next to her.

Someone stuck his head out of the car window and shouted happily: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Yue looked up and saw that the person who was speaking was a man who looked to be in his twenties, with a big white smile. Jiang Yue searched his memory and recognized that the man was from Gu Ye's group, an officer, and his surname seemed to be Xue.

"Officer Xue, are you guys back after completing the mission?" Jiang Yue stood on tiptoe to look into the cars. The first one was a troop carrier with only two seats in the front, where the driver and Xue Hongliang sat.

"Tuan Gu is in the car behind! I'll call him for you!" Xue Hongliang thought Jiang Yue was looking for Gu Ye, so he leaned his upper body out of the car window and waved to the back.

Jiang Yue saw that many soldiers on the car stretched their heads to look at her and shouted in unison: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Okay! Okay!" Jiang Yue responded while quickly saying to Xue Hongliang, "Secretary Xue, I'm not looking for Gu Ye. Please go in quickly! Don't delay your work!"

"It's okay, there's no need to delay!" Xue Hongliang saw someone getting off the car at the back of the convoy and pointed to Jiang Yue happily, "Look, sister-in-law, here comes Tuan Gu!"

Jiang Yue: “…I saw it!”

Gu Ye attracts attention wherever he goes. Look at his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his long legs and quick steps. Even his walking posture is so beautiful. It is hard for Jiang Yue not to notice him.

As he spoke, Gu Ye had already walked closer. He looked at Jiang Yue and then at Ning Ning.

"Dad!" Ningning had candy in her mouth and her cheeks were chubby, like a little hamster.

Gu Ye waved at the convoy, and the convoy continued to move forward. The car in front entered the gate of the division headquarters. The soldiers in the military green covered wagon enthusiastically shouted to Jiang Yue in unison: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

The soldiers greeted her, and Jiang Yue naturally responded.

"Hello!" Jiang Yue waved generously with a smile on her face. Seeing Gu Ye staring at her, she praised him, "Your soldiers are so enthusiastic!"

Gu Ye's lips curled up slightly, and it was unclear whether he wanted to laugh or something. He took the backpack that Jiang Yue was carrying, then leaned over and picked up Ningning with one hand.

The car behind drove over, and the soldiers in the car saw Gu Ye and Jiang Yue standing together, and they shouted enthusiastically again: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Yue continued to smile and wave, "Hello!"

I don't know if greeting my sister-in-law is contagious, but the soldiers in one car after another took over like a relay race, and the deafening shouts of "Hello, sister-in-law" echoed at the gate of the 179th Division Headquarters.

Jiang Yue had the illusion that she was at a military parade and almost shouted out, "Hello, comrades! Thank you for your hard work!"

Fortunately I held back!

By the time more than a dozen troop carriers drove into the division headquarters, Jiang Yue's mouth was almost frozen from smiling.

"This is the first time I feel so tired just by laughing!" Jiang Yue rubbed her face with both hands and muttered.

"Let's go. I'll take you home!" Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Yue with a half-smile, then walked forward holding Ningning in his arms. Jiang Yue followed him.

"Did you go to the county town to buy groceries again today?" Gu Ye asked casually, "What did you buy? Why do they feel so light?"

"I didn't buy any vegetables because the weather cleared up, so I went for a walk." Jiang Yue answered guiltily. She fried all the remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes at home today and filled her backpack layer by layer. When she arrived at the county town, she started selling French fries and didn't have time to buy vegetables.

"Oh, where did you go? Was it fun?" Gu Ye asked again.

Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye secretly. He was walking one step ahead of her. From her angle, she could see Gu Ye's handsome profile.

He hadn't shaved for a few days, and there was a blue stubble on his chin, but he didn't look sloppy, but rather more sexy.

"Not bad!" Jiang Yue said casually. She felt that it was a bit abnormal that Gu Ye talked too much today.

"What is Ningning eating?" Gu Ye asked Ningning again.

Ning Ning opened her mouth to let Gu Ye see what was in her mouth, then patted her small bag and said happily, "Big White Rabbit!"

Gu Ye asked Jiang Yue: "Did you buy it for me?"

Ningning shook her head, "My mother didn't buy it, my aunt gave it to me!"

"Aunt? What aunt?" Gu Ye asked.

"Oh, I passed by a friend's house today, and his family gave it to Ningning." Jiang Yue explained.

Gu Ye frowned secretly. White Rabbit milk candies are not cheap. Jiang Yue's friend was so generous that he filled Ningning's small bag with them.

The two of them were chatting casually here, and when they turned the corner, Xue Hongliang ran over.

"Gu Tuan, did you ask my sister-in-law about the last incident?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.

"Oh, isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon? I'm going to my girlfriend's house to propose, and I wanted to ask Gu Tuan what kind of gift would be appropriate. It has to be something high-end." As soon as Xue Hongliang saw Jiang Yue's expression, he knew that Gu Ye didn't mention it to her when he went back.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue turned around and looked at Gu Ye.

"I forgot!" Gu Ye admitted generously.

Jiang Yue didn't know what to bring when proposing marriage in this era. She scratched her head and asked, "What should I bring when proposing marriage? Cigarettes, alcohol, malted milk, or canned food?"

That was all she could think of.

Xue Hongliang smiled and said, "I have prepared all these, but I always feel like something is missing, it's not special enough!"

Jiang Yue: “…” It’s just a marriage proposal, why does it have to be so special?

"Sister-in-law, I just wanted to ask you, did the vegetable market get any new goods that day? I saw you all running hard to line up, tell me so I can line up to buy some too!" Xue Hongliang happened to meet Jiang Yue today, and ran over to ask as soon as he got off the car.

"Oh, ah?" Jiang Yue was stunned. "Which day?"

When did she desperately run to line up? What was it that was worth her desperately running to line up to buy? How come she has no memory of it at all?

"It was Monday, early in the morning, Gu Tuan and I went to the county town to do some work, and we saw you and Ningning, sister-in-law, in the vegetable market." Xue Hongliang said happily.

Jiang Yue became nervous after hearing this. Did Gu Ye also go to the county town on Monday? And did he see her and Ning Ning at the vegetable market?

"I don't remember what I was queuing up to buy." Jiang Yue's eyes flickered and her heart was beating fast. Xue Hongliang didn't explain clearly. What did Gu Ye see her and Ningning doing in the vegetable market?

"Oh, I see." Xue Hongliang wanted to buy a particularly high-end gift to please his father-in-law. When he heard Jiang Yue say that she didn't remember what she queued up to buy, he was very disappointed.

"Go ask Political Commissar Tang and let him help you make a decision," Gu Ye suggested.

"Okay! I'll go ask the political commissar!" Xue Hongliang immediately turned around and ran away.

Jiang Yue felt Gu Ye staring at her. She knew that she couldn't feel guilty at this moment, so she looked up as if nothing had happened, met Gu Ye's cold eyes, and smiled, "Secretary Xue is quite honest!"

Gu Ye: “Huh!”

Jiang Yue's heart was beating again. What did Gu Ye mean by "ho"? Did he know that she went to the county town to work as a peddler or not?
