Guan Wenru was in a very good mood after successfully causing Han Haoxian to fall from his position as battalion commander.
She hums songs on her way to and from get off work.
The April sun was warm, but the wind still carried the chill of the Qilian Mountains.
But she didn't feel cold at all.
I felt that life was full of hope.
That noon, Guan Wenru rode his horse from the grassland back to his family compound.
Normally, the courtyard would be quiet at this time.
But today, she heard some commotion inside the courtyard before she even stepped inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw a group of military dependents gathered in the open space in the center of the courtyard.
At the center of the crowd was a woman dressed simply, with dark skin and a kind smile.
Guan Wenru recognized her at a glance; she was Aunt Zhuoma from the nearby Dahewan Production Brigade.
"Hey, our little Guan is back!" Zeng Chunlan, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot Guan Wenru and immediately called out.
The crowd suddenly turned their attention to Guan Wenru, their eyes filled with smiles.
Aunt Zhuoma's face broke into a big smile, and she rushed over to greet him, "Little Guan, we've been waiting for you to come back!"
Guan Wenru was a little embarrassed by the commotion. "Aunt Zhuoma, what brings you here?"
"Of course we came to thank you. There were so many things to do that day, and my family was too busy to think straight. We even forgot to prepare a thank-you gift for you. Because of this, we haven't been able to get a good rest these past few days."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "Please don't say that. How are your daughter-in-law and children?"
"Good! Very good! Mother and daughter are both fine!" Aunt Zhuoma patted Guan Wenru's hand, her voice loud and clear.
"That's good."
At this moment, Sister Chunlan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Guan, did you really deliver a baby that day?"
Before Guan Wenru could say anything, Aunt Zhuoma turned to the women watching and began to vividly recount her story, "Of course it's true! You have no idea how dangerous that day was!"
My wife, pregnant with her first child, suddenly fell, her water broke, and to make matters worse, she fainted!
Even now, when Aunt Zhuoma recalls what happened that day, a trace of lingering fear still flashes across her face:
"The amniotic fluid had almost dried up, and both the mother and child were in danger! Fortunately, Xiao Guan is capable and kind-hearted. She came into the house in time to help my daughter-in-law and revived her."
"Later, my daughter-in-law gave birth, but the baby was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck, which terrified us. Fortunately, Xiao Guan knew how to handle this situation, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
After Aunt Zhuoma finished speaking, the women exclaimed in low surprise.
Their gazes toward Guan Wenru changed completely, filled with surprise and admiration.
Chunlan said with a smile, "Xiao Guan, you actually have this kind of skill. What other skills do you have that your sisters-in-law don't know about?"
Xiahenazi exclaimed in amazement, "That's right! How come you can do everything? When you first came here, you went horseback riding with me, and your skills amazed me. I never expected you to have so many other skills to show. You've been hiding your true abilities!"
Guan Wenru blushed slightly at the praise and waved her hands repeatedly, "Sisters-in-law, please don't say that. It just so happened that I met her by chance, and I happened to have read a little about it in a book, so I thought I'd give it a try."
Guan Wanxin, who was in the crowd, noticed that her granddaughter was not used to this kind of occasion, so she quickly said, "The children are all waiting at home for dinner. Everyone, please go home and eat."
"Oh right, look at our heads, we've completely forgotten about that."
"My two kids are about to start making a fuss, I need to get back quickly."
The crowd dispersed shortly afterward.
Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru welcomed Aunt Zhuoma into their home.
Aunt Zhuoma immediately opened the basket she had brought today, which contained several pieces of beef.
"Xiao Guan, thank you so much for that day. The auntie doesn't have anything good at home, so please accept this meat. Don't think it's too little."
Seeing that she was about to take out the meat, Guan Wenru pressed her hand down, "Auntie, take these back and give them to your daughter-in-law to help her recover. She needs to breastfeed and needs to supplement her nutrition."
"You don't need to worry about that. I started preparing after my daughter-in-law got pregnant, so she will have something to eat."
There wasn't much meat left at home, but she raised chickens and saved up quite a few eggs, enough for her daughter-in-law to eat.
Aunt Zhuoma was very strong; she forcefully took the meat out.
Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru exchanged helpless glances; it seemed they had no choice but to accept it.
However, Guan Wanxin suddenly said, "Wenru, since this is the kind gesture of Zhuoma's family, then accept it. Go to the kitchen and bring out the food. We'll have lunch with your Aunt Zhuoma; she probably hasn't eaten either."
"No need, no need, I'll go back now."
Guan Wanxin quickly pulled her back, "Zhuoma, we won't stand on ceremony with you, and you shouldn't stand on ceremony with us either. Besides, I have something I need your help with."
"??" Zhuoma looked blank.
What help could a woman like her possibly offer?
Guan Wenru quickly went into the kitchen; she understood what her grandmother meant.
Grandma wanted to treat Aunt Zhuoma to a nice meal.
So she took out a large bowl of clear stewed beef strips and several plates of pure beef dumplings from her spatial storage.
They also can't bring out too much stuff, otherwise others will think they are very rich, and their mindset will change.
When Zhuoma saw that it was meat, she refused to eat it. Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru kept forcefully putting meat on her plate until she had enough.
The meal was so lavish that Aunt Zhuoma felt embarrassed.
She didn't bring much meat, yet she still stayed and ate some.
What a terrible thing!
After finishing her meal, she couldn't wait to ask, "Auntie, please tell me, how can I help you? I'll definitely help."
Seeing her nervousness, Guan Wanxin smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I have a granddaughter who is going to your production brigade soon. She's unfamiliar with the place, and I'm worried she won't adapt well, so I wanted you to take care of her."
