Cannon fodder of the era strives to rewrite their lives, part 5. Please add to your favorites, muah...

The three sat in a corner, chatting and eating sunflower seeds, trying to keep a low profile. However, their striking good looks attracted many soldiers who came over to chat with them.

Not long after, Sister Wu from the logistics department led an officer over and waved to Chen Xia: "Chen Xia, come here, let me introduce you. This is Regiment Commander Guo Yongjun."

"Commander Guo, this is Comrade Chen Xia from our technical department. Comrade Chen Xia graduated from a key vocational school in Beijing. He has a very high level of political awareness and volunteered to come to the Southwest to support national construction. Why don't you two have a chat?"

After saying that, he pulled Chen Xia aside and whispered, "This Commander Guo is the highest-ranking officer among the officers who went on blind dates this time. I heard that the higher-ups are going to give him special attention."

Don't say your older sister didn't think of you when good things happened. Even though he's remarried with a child and older than you, he's more considerate now that he's older. You should have a good talk with him.

Just as Chen Xia was about to trick Sister Wu into leaving and tell Commander Guo that the two of them weren't a good match, Tang Siyu stood up and greeted Commander Guo with grace and poise.

Chen Xia could tell from Tang Siyu's demeanor that she had her eye on Commander Guo. What a kind person! She'd escaped unscathed. Ignoring Sister Wu's disappointed look, she made an excuse and slipped away with Li Wanyu.

She and Li Wanyu hid behind a pillar, watching from afar as Tang Siyu and Commander Guo chatted more and more congenially, and the distance between the two of them grew closer and closer.

Li Wanyu stomped her foot in anger: "That Tang Siyu is too much! It was clearly Sister Wu who introduced you to Commander Guo..."

Chen Xia quickly covered her mouth: "It was just a brief introduction. Commander Guo is not suitable for me. Sister Wu said that he had been married before, and his wife left behind two sons after her death. Being a stepmother is difficult, and I don't want to raise other people's children."

Li Wanyu panicked upon hearing this: "Tang Siyu is confused! Since that Commander Guo is not a good match, why did she talk to him for so long? They were standing so close, they were almost hugging. No, I have to go and remind her."

Chen Xia quickly pulled her back: "If you rush over like this, what if Comrade Tang Siyu likes Commander Guo and wants to be with him? How awkward would it be for her if you said that? Let's wait for Commander Guo to say it. Anyway, this is only their first meeting."

After Commander Guo left, the dog sneaked back, acting almost like a thief.

Seeing Tang Siyu's shy expression, Li Wanyu pulled her aside and asked how her conversation with Commander Guo went.

Li Wanyu glanced at Chen Xia, pursed her lips, and said, "You had a good chat. I've admired soldiers like Commander Guo since I was a child. Commander Guo was once married. His ex-wife died in childbirth when she was giving birth to their second child. Commander Guo raised his two children on his own, having to work and take care of them. It wasn't easy for him."

Li Wanyu's eyes widened: "You know he has two children, and you still talk to him? Are you crazy, Tang Siyu? Do you want to get married and become a mother overnight?"

Tang Siyu pursed her lips: "I'm willing. A stepmother is still a mother. Commander Guo's two sons are still young. As long as I treat them like my own children, they will treat me like their own mother."

Li Wanyu paced anxiously, "You're crazy, you're crazy! I think you've gone mad, Tang Siyu. That Commander Guo is more than ten years older than you, and he has two sons. Are you out of your mind? What are you after if you marry him?"

If you ask me, if you're going to marry Commander Guo, you'd be better off marrying Liu Shengli, who's been pursuing you all along. At least he's younger than Commander Guo and has never been married.

After saying that, he tugged at Chen Xia, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Sister Chen Xia, what do you think?"

Chen Xia came to her senses and said, "I think the most important thing in this matter is Comrade Tang Siyu's own wishes. If she feels that marrying Commander Guo is appropriate, then we should wish her well."

Just now, System 996 suddenly appeared and told her that Tang Siyu had traces of time travel, which meant that she had been reborn.

If it weren't for her interference, Chen Xia would have been relentlessly pursued by Commander Guo, who would have made a high-profile advance. In the end, under pressure from the organization, she had no choice but to marry Commander Guo, who was more than ten years older than her.

After hearing the little system's words, Chen Xia's gratitude towards Tang Siyu was like a surging river, endless and boundless. She was truly a kind person; it was thanks to her initiative that Chen Xia escaped a disaster. Chen Xia decided that when Tang Siyu got married, she would definitely give her a gift.

996 was very interested in Tang Siyu, who could travel back in time. After giving her a full-body scan, he took out a fragment of a time-space stone from her body: "No wonder she could be reborn. It turns out she obtained a fragment of a time-space stone at some point."

While this fragment can no longer support her rebirth, it can upgrade your space by one level. Her stealing your destined partner is the cause, and giving you this spacetime fragment as compensation is the effect.

Xiaxia, if you integrate it into your space, your space will be upgraded. This kind of good thing is rare and not everyone can encounter it. Xiaxia, you are lucky.

By the way, the merging of spaces will cause vibrations. Your mental strength is low, which may cause you to faint. I suggest you go home and lie down as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xia was overjoyed. Wow, not only had she escaped a marriage she didn't like, but there was also an unexpected surprise waiting for her!

Then, hearing a tremor in the upgrade space, he greeted Li Wanyu and Tang Siyu and headed outside. Just as he stepped out of the auditorium, he bumped into a man in military uniform who rushed out from the side.

The guy charged straight at her, and Chen Xia couldn't dodge in time, crashing into him. His chest was as hard as steel; the impact made Chen Xia's head buzz, and combined with the shockwave from the spatial fusion, she immediately passed out.

Upon realizing he had bumped into someone, Han Xiao quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, comrade, comrade, I'm doomed..."

Han Xiao was stunned. Hitting the girl wasn't a big deal, but knocking her unconscious was a real disaster.

In his haste, he saw Chen Xia, who was pale and breathing weakly. He was so anxious that he forgot about the proper distance between men and women, picked her up and ran all the way to the factory hospital.

The doctors and nurses at the hospital were also startled to see Chen Xia unconscious. They quickly told him to carry her into the emergency room and begin emergency treatment.

Not long after entering the emergency room, the spatial fusion was successful, and Chen Xia woke up. The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Man's forehead was red from banging her head against the wall. When she first woke up, she felt a little dizzy and nauseous because the space had just finished merging. The doctor diagnosed her with a mild concussion.

Given that she had been unconscious for so long and was feeling dizzy and nauseous, the doctor ordered her to be hospitalized for observation overnight.

Han Xiao stood outside the ward, head bowed, humiliated and speechless after being scolded by his sister Han Jing.

"You, Han Dabao, you grumbled when I asked you to attend a social gathering, and then you turned around and caused me such a big mess. Do you think you did this on purpose?"

That young girl was just walking along peacefully, and you bumped into her and gave her a concussion. What am I supposed to say to you?

Han Xiao looked frustrated. He couldn't understand how such a simple collision could cause a concussion. If it weren't for the fact that the girl seemed quite seriously injured, he would have thought he had encountered a staged accident.

Regardless of the circumstances, he admitted to the trouble he caused. He readily offered to treat the injured person, apologize, and compensate them.

When Chen Xia woke up, she saw Han Xiao standing by her bedside being beaten by her sister, and she felt a little guilty. Her fainting wasn't really related to being hit, but mainly to the shockwaves caused by the spatial fusion. She felt really bad that he had been blamed for it.

Faced with Sister Han's apology, Chen Xia quickly waved her hand: "You're too kind. Actually, my fainting had little to do with this Comrade Han. I just suddenly felt a little unwell..."

Han Jing kicked Han Xiao, signaling him to continue apologizing: "Xia, you're just too kind. You don't need to speak up for this idiot. If he hadn't been walking without looking where he was going, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Han Jing's eyes lit up the moment she saw Chen Xia. After hearing the introduction from Sister Wu of the instrument factory's union, she became even more interested in Chen Xia.

She felt it was fate; such a good girl, and her mentally challenged brother had hit her and sent her to the hospital, so she had to take full responsibility. Coincidentally, she also overheard a familiar head nurse say that Chen Xia had been carried to the hospital by her brother.

She could easily imagine the rumors and gossip that would circulate in the factory after carrying such an innocent young girl all the way. She was just being prepared.

Sigh, this older sister is really going to great lengths to help her mentally challenged brother find a wife.

So, when Han Jing left, she ignored Chen Xia's objections and directly asked Han Xiao to stay and take care of her.

Chen Xia looked at Han Xiao, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, and couldn't help but sigh. She had no choice but to faint when she bumped into this Battalion Commander Han, and he even carried her all the way to the hospital. It was easy to imagine that by tomorrow, all sorts of rumors would be flying around the factory.

She used to listen to her sisters-in-law and older women gossip while munching on sunflower seeds, but this time she's the subject of the gossip herself, and just thinking about it makes her head spin. She can't really blame Battalion Commander Han for his inappropriate actions; after all, he was just trying to save her.

Chen Xia couldn't stay in the hospital for more than one night. The space had been fully integrated, but she dared not enter the space in the hospital. In fact, because the nurses often came to check on her, she hadn't even tried to enter the space with her consciousness. She was mainly afraid that if the nurses came to check on her, she would faint and scare them.

The next day, she made several requests and underwent several more tests to make sure she was fine before they finally discharged her and sent her home.

Once home, after locking the door, Chen Xia couldn't wait to enter the space.

The thatched cottage was upgraded to a charming little wooden house, the two acres of land became ten acres, and in addition, a large pasture was added.

The well has gained a bit more spiritual energy. Although it doesn't reach the level of a low-grade spiritual spring, it is rich in spiritual energy and is suitable for ordinary people to drink. It also has the effects of prolonging life and conditioning the body.

System 996 leveled up and gained a physical form, setting its appearance as a soft and cute black and white dumpling.

Chen Xia excitedly hugged it to her arms, rubbing and kneading it: "996, your physical form is so cute, how about you be called Tuantuan from now on!"

996 patiently let her rub him: "Okay, Xiaxia, after the system upgrade, you can earn points by selling your harvest from the space farm and ranch to the system mall. Although it's not very cost-effective, it can be used to tide you over if you find something you like in the system mall but don't have enough points."

After hearing this, Chen Xia immediately opened the system store to check the selling prices. After reading them, he couldn't help but complain that the system store was a real rip-off, as the prices were too low. Even capitalists would cry if they saw this.

However, upon further reflection, she realized that unless she urgently needed the points, she would not usually sell the products of her space to the system store at a low price.
