"Sheng Peng! Can you tell me where you found such a wonderful son-in-law?"

Now Ruan Shengpeng was even more smug: "My son-in-law's mother and my wife were college roommates. I haven't been here for over ten years because I've been on missions."

"When they left Beijing to avoid trouble, they met on the road. For more than ten years, the two families became one family, and the two children were childhood sweethearts!"

Everyone was speechless. They'd grown up together as childhood sweethearts—was there any chance of winning him over? Such a son-in-law was truly enviable!

It's really hard to let my daughter and granddaughter have a chance, but after so many years of relationship, is there still a chance?

Someone coughed and asked, "These two kids have lived together for so many years, could their relationship just be familial?"

Ruan Shengpeng immediately wiped the smile off his face: "Deputy Commander Guan, is that so? I'll call the leaders and ask. His daughter and their neighbor, Nanzhu from the Jun family, grew up sleeping in the same bed."

"Could their relationship be that of siblings? Should we break them up?"

When Deputy Commander Guan saw Ruan Shengpeng actually pick up the phone and dial, he immediately jumped off the stool and pressed the busy tone button: "Shengpeng, Shengpeng, I was just joking, just joking."

"It was just a joke, there's no need to trouble the leaders. Commander Dou is here, let's have a meeting!"

Deputy Commander Guan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He wasn't afraid to call his superiors; what he feared was that female devil, a lawless person.

But what's even more terrifying is that smiling tiger, Jun Nanzhu. Everyone in the capital knows how much he cherishes his wife. Anyone who dares to say a word against her will be secretly retaliated against.

If I were to say that they have no marital affection and only brother-sister feelings for each other, and if such words reached Jun Nanzhu's ears, I could really retire early.

Otherwise, this guy would cause chaos and trouble for everyone. You know, not every child in the family is as lucky as Ruan Shengpeng, and every child is successful.

If there is even one person who drags you down, Jun Nanzhu will use that person as the straw that breaks the camel's back, which could be fatal!

Seeing everyone seemingly fawning over Ruan Shengpeng, Commander Dou walked over and asked, "What are you all talking about? Shengpeng, what good news have you got?"

Deputy Commander Guan quickly shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it was just a joke!"

Commander Dou looked at Ruan Shengpeng: "Is it really just a joke?"

Ruan Shengpeng knew this was a joke, and he nodded in agreement: "It was just a joke. Everyone's here, shall we start the meeting now?"

Commander Dou sat down: "I called everyone here today for the national martial arts competition held every five years. This time, our military region must win the championship, just like before."

Now everyone's teeth are aching. Five years ago, the Beijing Military Region was the talk of the town. The female champion was He Jiayin and the male champion was Jun Nanzhu. This was an unprecedented honor.

After winning the championship, the two appeared to have retired gracefully, although everyone knew that they actually retained their military positions.

It's just that because the country is weak, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has suffered a huge loss of talent abroad! These two men, who are both literate and capable, have become fresh blood for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Regardless, they've officially retired, and even if they have, it's impossible to get them back into the competition. Besides, they haven't had any systematic training in the past few years.

Even if we compete now, we might not be able to win again!

Deputy Commander Guan was somewhat pessimistic: "Our military region is in trouble this year. It seems that there are no exceptionally talented people among us."

Commander Dou disagreed: "Let each regiment hold internal competitions first, and select the best candidates layer by layer. I refuse to believe that there aren't any talented people. Let Ruan Shengpeng be in charge of this matter, and make sure it's fair and just!"

Ruan Shengpeng immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

As soon as Commander Dou left, everyone gathered around. They all had relatives or nephews serving in the military, and now they all wanted to ask Ruan Shengpeng about the competition plan.

Ruan Shengpeng already had a plan in mind: "Follow the rules of the previous competition exactly, start with one team at a time, and record the scores of each participant."

"I'll send someone over to investigate undercover. If I find out they've fabricated something, it won't be something that can be resolved with just a few words!"

Everyone immediately understood that this competition was related to the entire military region. Even if it was an internal competition within a regiment, it had to be fair and just to ensure that the most capable people could participate.

All of them planned to go back and tell their children and nephews not to slack off, but to train diligently and see if they could participate in the competition.

Such national competitions, if you achieve outstanding results, are very beneficial for your personal development. You might even be recommended to go to university, and your status will be completely different when you return to the military.

When Ruan Shengpeng returned, everyone was waiting for him to have dinner. Seeing this, Ruan Shengpeng quickly washed his hands, sat down, picked up the bowl of rice, took a bite, and squinted his eyes in happiness.

As expected, life with a wife is blissful every day. Tonight we had white rice, braised fish, braised pork, an egg drop soup, and a vegetable dish.

Such a dish is considered very lavish by today's standards, and Yao Yanxin's cooking skills are excellent. One bite is enough to make you want to eat more and more.

Ruan Shengpeng couldn't help but eat until he was stuffed. He touched his belly and realized that he would have to double his training tomorrow. He couldn't afford to eat his way to the point of losing his abs.

He knew very well that Yao Yanxin really liked his abs, and every night when he slept with her, she would touch them a few times!

He glanced sideways at Xiao Gengwu's stomach, wondering if the kid had abs.

Perhaps it was Ruan Shengpeng's intense gaze that made Xiao Gengwu's heart skip a beat: "Uncle Ruan, what are you looking at me for?"

Ruan Shengpeng couldn't very well say directly, "It's nothing! Is Ah Xu feeling better now?"

Yao Tongxu still didn't dare to shake his head directly: "If I don't shake my head, I won't feel dizzy. It's not easy to lower my head now either. By the way, what should we do with Xiao Zhang who pushed us?"

This successfully drew He Jiale's attention: "What should we do with that guy, Uncle Ruan?"

"First, he'll be discharged from the military, then sent to a farm for three years of reform!"

Neither Yao Tongxu nor He Jiale were satisfied with the result. This was attempted murder, and this was the punishment?

Ruan Shengpeng explained: "Don't underestimate the fact that he's only going to the farm for three years of reform. Just the fact that he's been discharged from the military is enough to make him suffer. His family will never be allowed to join the military or participate in politics again."

Yao Tongjia was surprised: "Is it his child who can't, or his brother's child who can't?"

"None of that will work. This is enough for him to suffer. When he goes back in three years, he will suffer even more!"

Xiao Zhang pushed others away in order to stay in the army. Now he himself is being sent to a farm for reform, and his nephews and nieces are not allowed to join the army. This kind of punishment is truly heartbreaking!
