Chapter 203 What if it’s Zhizhi?

Wen Zhile held her arm and said, "I'm just afraid that my mother will laugh at me."

Shu Ying smiled but said nothing. The child was quite shy.

A few minutes after six o'clock, the bus drove over.

Wen Zhile got on the bus alone. As soon as he sat down, the woman in front of him turned around and said, "This girl is really pretty."

The person in the car replied: "Yes! This is the first time I have seen such a pretty girl."

"You look unfamiliar, is this your first time visiting a military area?"

Wen Zhile smiled sweetly: "Sister, what is the procedure for visiting relatives here?"

"Oh, I'm old enough to be your mother!" The woman was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Wen Zhile smiled and said, "No way, my sister and the other sisters all look like they are only in their twenties."

Everyone in the car couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Everyone in this car is a woman. Apart from Wen Zhile, there are only two girls in their twenties, and the rest are all over thirty years old.

Her words "in her twenties" made most people laugh, and they took the initiative to explain to her the procedures for visiting relatives.

Generally speaking, it is not much different from the Jingzhou Military District. The first step is to fill out an application form at the security office at the gate of the military district, and then wait in the reception room for the relatives who want to visit to come out and pick you up.

"Girl, your accent doesn't sound like a local."

Wen Zhile nodded: "I'm from another place and I came here to study."

"Wow, you're still a college student."

Everyone on the bus was talking to each other, and all kinds of random questions came to their mind all at once.

Wen Zhile only responded when he heard something he could answer.

The people in the car were already familiar with each other because they often rode together, so there was no sense of incongruity when Wen Zhile, a stranger, came in, and they quickly got along well. They asked Wen Zhile whose relatives she was going to visit, and the girl just said it was "the son of my parents' friend, who asked her to deliver a letter."

The few people did not ask any more questions. When they arrived at the gate of the military area, Wen Zhile became the darling of the group and was the first to get off the car. The application forms were handed to her by the women.

After filling out the form, I entered the reception room.

Except for her, everyone else who came to visit brought a basket of food.

Her sister gave her an apple here and a bag of biscuits there, and her hands were quickly filled.

Wen Zhile didn't want to accept it at first, but they were so enthusiastic, so she had to accept it first, thinking that she would ask Zhou Jihuai if he brought any food and share some with them.

At around seven in the morning, the entire 12th Division was in training.

Zhou Jihuai was observing several new recruits he had personally selected at the training ground of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, and from time to time he analyzed their physical strengths and weaknesses with the political commissar beside him.

A soldier ran over from a distance, stopped and saluted: "Report to the commander!"

Zhou Jihuai responded: "What's the matter?"

"Chief, someone is here to visit you."

The man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who?"

"A girl!"

girl?

Zhou Jihuai's first reaction after hearing this was outrageous.

How come there is a girl from the Northwest coming to visit his relatives?

Tao Cheng stretched his neck to listen to their conversation, and was delighted when he heard the girl: "Commander, was this the peach blossom you encountered while you were out on a mission?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Jihuai asked the messenger to go back, "I have a target."

The messenger turned to Tao Cheng again: "Political Commissar Tao, my sister-in-law is here too!"

Tao Cheng retracted his eight big teeth, his face full of excitement: "Your sister-in-law is here? Brigade Commander, I'll go there and find out what your girl looks like!"

After he finished speaking, he started running, running faster than the messenger.

Tao Shi was just as fast as him, and the brother and sister rushed into the reception room one after the other.

"Wife!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

Chen Lan was serving pork ribs to Wen Zhile. She didn't move when she heard the voice: "Here she comes."

Tao Cheng and Tao Shi ran over quickly, smelling the aroma of the pork rib soup. The next second, they saw that a bowl of pork rib soup had been served. Their hearts skipped a beat and they looked at Wen Zhile.

His wife's cooking skills are extraordinary. I'm not exaggerating, her cooking skills are better than those of hotel chefs.

Similarly, his level of frugality in managing the household is also extraordinary.

It is quite remarkable that such a daughter-in-law can actually share the pork rib soup with others.

This girl... is so beautiful!

Tao Cheng and Tao Shi looked at each other.

They originally thought that this was a relative of Chen Lan, but after seeing his appearance, they no longer thought so.

Look at the girl's appearance, temperament and dress, she is obviously a lady from a wealthy family.

Chen Lan listened to Wen Zhile and only scooped a small half bowl: "Try it quickly."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

Seeing Wen Zhile take it, Chen Lan looked at her husband and sister-in-law with a smile: "This is the girl I met on the bus, and she's a college student."

Tao Cheng and Tao Shi nodded and stared at the ribs.

Wen Zhile took a small sip and looked at them. He was so stared at by them that he didn't dare to drink any more.

After drinking a little, he started praising Chen Lan's cooking skills. After looking around for a while, he suddenly realized that other people's relatives had arrived one after another.

It seems... she's the only one who has no one to answer?

The others said goodbye to Wen Zhile one after another. The little girl said goodbye gently. In a blink of an eye, Tao Cheng and Tao Shi had already sat down on the bench and started eating ribs.

Chen Lan looked at them, feeling helpless, but she didn't say anything.

She had previously delivered meals to her husband and sister-in-law’s workplaces, but usually they would only eat two or three bites, and the rest would be shared by their colleagues.

It’s all my fault. I’m such a good cook.

Chen Lan happily watched her husband and sister-in-law scramble for food, then looked at Wen Zhile: "Sister, did you check when you filled out the form? Don't make any mistakes."

"I'll go and take a look."

Wen Zhile was very sure that he had filled it in correctly.

She thought that Zhou Jihuai must not have figured out which girl was looking for him, and was afraid of meeting someone he didn't want to see, so he was not in a hurry.

Zhou Jihuai was not in a hurry just as she thought.

But after thinking it over carefully, he walked towards the reception room.

What if it’s Zhizhi?

No, just pretend you didn’t see it.
