Gu An'an wore light makeup, which was barely noticeable, but it made her complexion look very good. In modern terms, it was a subtle, deliberate makeup look.

Erbao chattered incessantly beside her, praising Gu An'an to the skies.

It has to be said that being good with words is hereditary; Erbao's sweet talk is just like his father's when he wants to coax people.

"What kind of trick are you up to now? Just say it."

After her mother saw through her little scheme, Erbao wasn't embarrassed at all. "Dapang wants to go too, can we take him with us?"

Ever since he learned that Da Bao and Er Bao were going to join the army, Da Pang has been itching to join them. In his eyes, the most handsome man is Er Bao's dad, his own father, and everyone else has to come second.

At such a young age, this boy has set a goal for himself: to join the army and defend his country when he grows up.

"Did Fatty tell you this, or did you want to drag him along?"

When they first met, Erbao was quite disgusted with her, but after spending these few days together, the two of them have become inseparable.

"Of course he wants to go. He just wants to visit the army. He begged me for days. I saw his sincerity, so I agreed to put in a good word for him. Mom, if you think it's okay, we'll go and take him later. He's probably already ready and waiting at home."

Gu An'an glanced at her son. The silly little dumpling she used to be had now become sesame-filled.

Everyone's at home and all is ready, so if the guy agreed, how could she not agree?

She reached out and pinched his chubby little face. "That was a good move for you. You've got the style of your older sister."

Erbao chuckled, "So, does that mean Mommy agreed?"

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and Gu An'an had no reason to object. As long as Da Pang's mother was at ease, everything would be fine.

"I agreed."

"Thank you, Mom. You can continue with your makeup. I'll have him come over."

It was already half an hour later when the group of one adult and three children set off.

Xiao Yuheng's military region was located in the suburbs, and it took them more than three hours to get there. When they arrived at the gate, Xiao Yuheng was already waiting for them.

"daughter in law!"

Seeing the person getting out of the car, Xiao Yuheng immediately strode over to greet her, took the things from Gu An'an's hands, and even helped Gu An'an tidy up her messy hair.

"Why are you picking us up here? It's not like we can't find our way."

"Of course I have to come pick you up. You've come all this way to see me. If I didn't come even though it's just a few steps away, my parents would scold me to death."

Xiao Yuheng was joking, of course; the truth was that he wanted to see his wife as soon as possible.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The three children were used to seeing the two adults so affectionate, but the young soldier on guard duty was stunned.

Is that still their serious Commander Xiao?

Commander Xiao just said he was here to pick up his wife, right? That young lady must be the commander's wife.

At that moment, the young soldier was quite pleased with his 5.0 vision, as he was able to clearly see his sister-in-law's face even from a distance.

When I saw him clearly, he looked just like the pickled cabbage in the sauerkraut jar back home. How could the regimental commander's wife be so beautiful! What good deeds did the regimental commander do in his life to find such a wife?

The couple cuddled for a few minutes, and the three children, watching from the side, couldn't stand it any longer, so the eldest child spoke up.

"Dad, that's enough! We're still at the gate. Can't you take us inside first before you get all lovey-dovey with Mom?"

Since it was his daughter speaking, Xiao Yuheng didn't dare to show any anger. If it were his son, then he would be in a different situation.

"Okay, okay, Da Bao is getting impatient."

"How can I not be in a hurry? We're already at the door, why are you in such a rush for just a few minutes?"

Erbao had clearly forgotten his importance to his father again; as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuheng's foot made intimate contact with his bottom.

"Erbao, you've already learned your lesson several times, why haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Erbao touched her bottom, which didn't hurt at all, and said, "Old Xiao is just sexist. He was like this when I was in his belly, so I'm used to it."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You've had everything I've ever had since I was little. If you keep spouting nonsense, Dad will really beat you up."

"Hehe, I was just saying, don't take it seriously, sis."

Of course he knew that his parents loved him; it was just that the way boys and girls were raised was different.

Moreover, he is quite used to this way of getting along. He would only get really angry if his family were like some of his classmates' families, where boys are treated like treasures and girls like trash.

"Come on, Dad, give me some."

Big Fatty followed closely behind, saying, "Uncle Xiao, just give me this bag."

When Xiao Yuheng led one adult and three children to the guard room, the envy in the young soldiers' eyes made him quite pleased.

"Xiao Rao, this is from your sister-in-law. Have some to try."

Xiao Yuheng shared some food with the young soldier, who thanked him profusely, saying, "Thank you, Commander, thank you, Sister-in-law."

Xiao Yuheng was satisfied and continued to lead the people inside. Although Gu An'an had never been here before, Xiao Yuheng, as the leader of the group, still allocated a house, which was basically fully equipped.

"Is your sister-in-law here?"

Xu Wen looked behind them but didn't see the figure he had been longing for day and night, and felt a little disappointed.

"Shanshan has some family matters to attend to this week."

Xu Wen felt a little better knowing that he couldn't come because of other commitments, not because he didn't want to.

"It's okay, she can just focus on her own things. I'll go see her when I'm on vacation."

Ling Xiao's unconventional actions acted as a catalyst for the two of them, because of that incident, they confessed their feelings to each other ahead of time, and officially started dating.

It's perfectly normal for people who have just started dating to want to see their partner.

After chatting with Xu Wen, Xiao Yuheng led them on a slow walk, explaining things along the way. By the time they arrived home, half of the people knew that the regimental commander's wife had brought their three children.

"Have you heard? The regimental commander's wife is here!"

"What? The regimental commander really has a wife? He's not just bragging!"

Xiao Yuheng happened to hear this when he brought his wife and children to the cafeteria for lunch, and his eyes immediately darted over.

The young soldier speaking had his back to them, oblivious to the coughs of those around him. "Stop coughing! Has the commander really gotten married? I thought he wasn't interested in women. There was that article before..."

Xiao Yuheng didn't want to speak, but when the topic came up, his radar went off immediately, and he coughed loudly twice, "So happy, what are you saying?"

The soldier who was speaking turned around when he heard his voice, his face ashen. "Commander, I, I didn't say anything."
