"Uncle Gu, didn't you already know about my appetite last time? Why are you still so surprised this time?"
"I saw it last time, but it didn't feel as direct to me as it does today."
"Big brother, just eat your food properly. An'an is a grown woman, do you think she'll overeat?" Xia Lin thought Gu Yanting was making a fuss over nothing. He also had a darling girl at home who could eat just as much. If the two girls ate together, wouldn't that scare him?
"Uncle Gu, my appetite is the smallest of all my abilities. Are your soldiers prepared? I'm afraid they'll channel their grief into their appetite, and the canteen's food will have to be increased." Chu Xingyue glanced at Gu Yanting opposite her with interest.
"These brats need someone stronger than them to put them in their place, otherwise they'll really never know their place." Gu Yanting usually liked to go down to chat with these little brats.
Knowing that some of the new recruits were children of high-ranking officials or government officials, who liked to argue with everyone and were not convinced by anyone, even their squad leader could not control them. Someone had told him that as long as he didn't train them to death or cripple them, he should train them to death.
Some came through his wife's connections, saying they wanted to make things easier for him, since the child was still young and needed to be taught slowly.
How should we teach them? Since they've come to him, how we teach them is his business. He usually dislikes those who get in through connections or those who can't endure hardship.
"They've all been assigned to the new company. You've put all these troublemakers together. You'd better train them well. As long as they don't die, don't worry about them getting crippled. Our military region can be said to have the most wounded and disabled personnel in the entire army, so don't be afraid. Give these little brats a good talking to."
He wouldn't be so angry if his wife hadn't been involved in this whole affair. Now that he's been assigned to their military region, he'll have to teach these bastards a lesson in how to behave properly.
“An’an, don’t be afraid. If these kids weren’t completely out of control at home, they wouldn’t have used their connections to be sent to our military region. Our military region is known for its strictness. These are all pampered little devils who grew up with nothing but spoiled pampering at home. They’re all fearless and will cause trouble if they’re not disciplined. If they’re not straightened out because of their family connections, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Xia Lin spoke up at the opportune moment.
These children are all spoiled by their families. No matter how powerful or capable your family is, how high a position you hold, or how much wealth you have accumulated, if you have a good-for-nothing descendant who drags you down and causes irreparable consequences, then no matter how much wealth you accumulate or how high a position you hold, in the end, this one descendant will drag the entire family down.
Xia Lin knew that if his youngest son, Xia Yiyang, hadn't been with An'an, the boy wouldn't be the way he is now; he would definitely have become a spoiled brat.
"Since you put it that way, then I'll have some fun with them."
"Don't worry, just do it. You don't need to ask me for anything. I'll give you absolute authority."
"Alright, Uncle Gu, then I'll accept your offer without hesitation."
Chu Xingyue saluted Gu Yanci and Xia Lin.
Since there were no female soldiers in the Northwest Military Region, Chu Xingyue lived directly in the family quarters.
Given Chu Xingyue's rank, Gu Yanting directly approved a two-bedroom dormitory for her. Originally, Xia Lin wanted her niece to live at home, but thinking about her family, An An would probably be disturbed and wouldn't be able to sleep well. So, she decided to let her niece live in a multi-story building not far from them.
"Your home is nice and comfortable, why do you still want to live here? It's so quiet and lonely here. Why don't you come back and live with me?" Gu Si kept cleaning the house for Chu Xingyue while scolding her for not living at home.
"Xiao Si, stop nagging about the child. My brother and I finally managed to keep her with us for a while, so don't nag her away." Xia Lin came in and saw that the door was open, so he just walked in and heard his wife nagging.
"It's all your fault. An'an finally gets to spend some time here, and you still let the child stay outside instead of coming home." His wife's eyes darted over Xia Lin like knives.
Chu Xingyue watched her uncle and aunt's interaction with amusement. Although they seemed to be arguing, their relationship was actually very good.
“Auntie, I’ll be staying here for a while this time. I’ll come home to be with you whenever I have time. If I stay at home, it will interfere with your time with my uncle and me.”
"We're an old married couple, what's this about 'just the two of us'?" Gu Si blushed as he said this.
"Don't worry, I'll come home to see you. As long as you don't mind me bothering you and my uncle all the time." Chu Xingyue stopped teasing her aunt, who was quite shy.
"Then it's settled, I'll cook you something delicious. Xiao Yang and his brother haven't had time to come see us, and I'm pretty bored."
Gu Si was furious at the thought of her two sons. They were two ungrateful wretches who didn't miss their mother at all and hadn't even called. Girls were so much better. Why wasn't Xiao Yang a girl?
"It's all done." Gu Si looked at the house's decor and shook his head.
"It's too rushed, so we can only leave it like this for now. I'll decorate this place for you in the next couple of days. This room is too masculine; it doesn't look like a place a girl should live in."
Even after Gu Si finished speaking, he was still thinking about how to decorate the house tomorrow.
"Leave it all to Auntie." Why should she spoil the fun of the elders wanting their rooms decorated by the younger generation?
"Don't worry, An'an, leave everything to your aunt. Your aunt will make sure you're satisfied." Gu Si was now full of confidence.
"An'an, you should get some rest. Your aunt and I will head back now. I'll arrange for someone to come and take you there tomorrow." Xia Lin glanced at the time; it was getting late, and she wanted her niece to rest early.
"Let's go back and let An'an get some rest," Xia Lin said to his wife, who was still looking around and preparing to decorate the house.
"Alright, An'an, you should get some rest. Your aunt will come again tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Auntie. Uncle and Auntie, you should go home and rest early. I'll see you off."
"No, no need to see me off. I know this place better than you do."
Gu Si said smugly to Chu Xingyue.
"Then I won't see you off. I'll go downstairs with you."
"Go back and get some rest."
"Okay, then take your time walking."
Watching the two figures walk away, Chu Xingyue thought that people are really strange creatures. Her uncle Xia Lin, who is so cunning, actually has such a good relationship with her aunt Gu Si, who is so innocent, and it has remained the same for many years.
Chu Xingyue slowly walked up to the second floor and closed the door.
Chu Xingyue slept soundly through the night. She didn't have morning training today. She had just arrived at the military region and hadn't been to the training grounds yet. Besides, it seemed a bit strange for a female soldier like her to suddenly go to a training ground full of men. Although she didn't care, it was the men who were scared.
