The next morning, around 8 a.m.
Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao waved goodbye to the group of military wives and comrades who came to see them off, as well as Mayor Zhou's family, and then got into the car with their families.
Soon, the car drove out of the Jincheng Military Region and sped off towards the southern province.
Luggage, furniture, and daily necessities were already loaded onto a truck and set off ahead of time, while some of the furniture had already been transported to the new unit.
The family traveled light, filled with hope for the new environment and future life, heading towards the southern province.
Lu Lingxiao's appointment letter was issued to his new unit last year. Now he is not only the youngest brigade commander in the major military regions, but also the commander-in-chief of the special operations forces.
Colonel, equivalent to a division commander.
Despite his young age, his achievements over the years are unparalleled, and therefore, no one objects to his appointment as the commander of the special forces.
As a military commander, he was allocated a fairly large family housing unit, with four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a storage room.
Upon entering, you'll see a large courtyard.
When Feng Zhiyi and Lu's mother saw the large open space in the yard, they planned to use it to plant some vegetables, fruits, and fruit trees.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, their family will likely live in this place for many years to come.
Of course, my new home should be decorated to be warm and beautiful!
And so—
After resting for a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to decorate their new home.
All the furniture has arrived; we just need to arrange it.
However, Lu Lingxiao and his mother did not allow Feng Zhiyi to do anything. They let her stand on the side and direct the work, leaving the moving of things and placement to them.
Fortunately, there were plenty of manpower. Qin An was also transferred to the new unit along with Lu Lingxiao, along with Xiao Bin and a few others.
In no time at all, everything was arranged.
"The house on the left belongs to Political Commissar Long. He was transferred from Hunan Province, and his whole family of five came with him."
Qin An arrived at his new unit ten days ago and quickly learned about the unit's situation.
"Sister-in-law, Political Commissar Long's family is alright, they're easy to get along with."
“He has one daughter and two sons. His daughter is the eldest in the family and is 18 years old. His two sons are twins and are 10 years old this year.”
Feng Zhiyi wasn't particularly interested in anything else, but when she heard that Political Commissar Long had a daughter who was just 18 years old, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to Qin An.
Looking him over carefully, Qin An was 24 years old and single.
If Political Commissar Long's daughter hasn't found a partner yet, perhaps...
Thinking of this, she asked Qin An, "Do you know anything about his daughter? Is she dating anyone?"
Qin An didn't think that much about it. He assumed that his sister-in-law was asking if the girl surnamed Long had a boyfriend because she wanted to know about her situation so that their brigade commander wouldn't be targeted.
So he told the truth, "According to Aunt Wang, her daughter is still single and not engaged."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and then added seriously, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, although that Miss Long is quite pretty and has a very nice personality, she is far inferior to you."
"Besides, our brigade commander is notoriously devoted to his wife, he definitely wouldn't have any other ideas..."
"Get lost!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiao kicked him in the back of the knee, his eyes full of disgust. "Wife, why do you care about him? A simpleton like him should stay single for life!"
Even he could understand the unspoken meaning in his wife Zhizhi's words, but Qin An, that simpleton, didn't say a word and just randomly dragged him into it.
What does this have to do with him?!
Is he the kind of scumbag who's always looking for something better?
Besides, is there any girl in the world more outstanding than his wife?
Qin An looked at Lu Lingxiao with a puzzled expression. "Brigadier, my sister-in-law clearly asked whether the Long family girl was betrothed or not. What does that have to do with whether I'm a bachelor or not?"
As he spoke, he quickly rubbed the back of his knees.
The brigade commander was too ruthless. He used so much force that his leg was almost broken.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyi's lips twitched.
She also agreed with what her husband Lingxiao said: Qin An, that silly boy, really... should stay single!
He's quick-witted in other matters, but when it comes to relationships, he seems to be missing a screw, and hasn't figured it out for a long time.
If things continue like this, this silly boy might really be destined to be a bachelor for life!
“Honey, let’s go back inside and rest. Don’t worry about him, this idiot is beyond saving.”
When he returned to the room, Lu Lingxiao gave Qin An another disappointed look.
The more I look at it, the more I realize I must have been stupid to choose such a simpleton as my partner, especially seeing how clueless this idiot seems.
He wished he could kick him back to the Jincheng Military Region!
Shen Yaqin, who was watching from the side, laughed until her stomach hurt. After catching her breath, she smiled and said to Qin An.
"Qin An, don't listen to your brigade commander's nonsense. You're great. You're down-to-earth, ambitious, and very responsible. You don't smoke or drink. Any girl who marries you will definitely enjoy a lifetime of happiness."
"Thank you, auntie!"
Upon hearing Aunt Lu's words, Qin An was overjoyed. "Auntie, I'll go help out in the backyard first."
Lu's mother waved her hand happily.
You know what, Qin An and Xiao Bin and those other young men are all pretty reliable. They don't smoke or drink. Young men like that will definitely know how to cherish their wives when they get married.
When the family arrived, they had prepared plenty of things. Lu Lingxiao told Feng Zhiyi to take the children to rest in the house or go for a walk in the yard to get familiar with the new environment.
After sorting and tidying up the things in the house, he and Lu's mother went to the kitchen to get busy.
"Mom, I'll be leaving Zhizhi in your care from now on."
Lu Lingxiao chopped the chicken into small pieces. Zhizhi said she wanted to eat spicy chicken, so as her good husband, he naturally had to make it for her.
He glanced at Lu's mother and said, "Once all the soldiers selected from the various military regions have arrived, they will enter a closed assessment period that will last for three months."
"This assessment is not conducted at the base, but in the field. Sometimes it involves live-fire exercises in other locations, and sometimes it involves attending academic classes at military academies."
"In short, I spent very little time at the base during these three months, so I was unable to take care of Zhizhi."
Fortunately, her mother came with them to the new military unit; otherwise, when he got busy, there would be no one to take care of Zhizhi.
Although there were Xiao Bin and a few others, they were men after all, and sometimes it was not convenient for them to take care of Zhizhi's daily life.
Moreover, Feng Zhiyi is currently pregnant, so she needs to be even more careful with her diet.
Xiao Bin and his group of rough-and-tumble guys are lucky if they can even cook something decent; expecting them to be good cooks is out of the question.
