He Yanzhi lay on his side as if frozen in place, the warm breath of Guan Wenru coming from the left side of his neck, the fine downy hairs trembling slightly in the breeze.
The memory of their accidental kiss last night still lingered on their skin; her knees, curled up, were now pressed against the outside of his thigh…
The way the two of them are sitting is really... not good!
But he was afraid that if he moved, he would wake Guan Wenru up.
Last night, the two accidentally touched lips, and she seemed angry.
If she sees him move over and they're still in that position, will she misunderstand?
Could she think he might do something to her?
Thinking about all this, he became even more afraid to move.
But he knew he couldn't continue like this.
Otherwise, he was deliberately taking advantage of Guan Wenru.
Just as he was racking his brains, Guan Wenru suddenly let go of his hands and legs and rolled to the other side.
She seemed to be having a dream, muttering something to herself.
Upon gaining his freedom, He Yanzhi sat up as if granted a pardon.
But after thinking about it, he moved forward and covered her with the blanket.
Having done all this, he scurried back to his bed as if being chased by a dog.
...
That night, He Yanzhi slept for less than an hour again.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and as he walked into the camp through the dew, his lower eyelids were tinged with a bluish-gray tinge.
When his comrades saw his appearance, smiles appeared on their faces, and the corners of the tense mouths of several new recruits twitched suspiciously.
After He Yanzhi walked to the side, the soldiers nudged each other in the ribs.
"Did you see Commander He's dark circles under his eyes?"
"Of course we're not blind!"
“Count how many days it has been… Ever since the commander’s wife arrived, the commander hasn’t had a proper rest, has he?”
"If you had such a beautiful wife, would you be happy to go to sleep obediently?"
Hahahahaha
While the soldiers gossiped, Wan Tao, holding a teacup, walked towards He Yanzhi with a smile.
He Yanzhi was the commander of the regiment, and the political commissar of the regiment was Wan Tao, who was five years older than him.
Wan Tao walked up to He Yanzhi and punched him on the shoulder. "Hey, Commander He, you need to take it easy. Don't underestimate your young age. If you overwork yourself every night, it won't work."
“!” He Yanzhi frowned slightly. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Wan Tao chuckled, "What nonsense am I spouting? Go look in the mirror, how many days have you had these dark circles under your eyes? I'm just being kind by reminding you, haven't you seen the smiles on the faces of your soldiers these past few days? Do you know what they've been saying?"
He Yanzhi stared at him indifferently, "What do you mean?"
Recalling the gossip of those brats, Wan Tao couldn't help but laugh. "They all say Commander He's wife is a fairy from the moon palace descended to earth! They say Commander He climbs a cloud ladder to the moon palace every night, no wonder..."
At this point, Wan Tao chuckled again, "Look at your dark circles. Do you think they wouldn't have impure thoughts? They even said... Commander He's wife is so beautiful that looking at her will bring longevity, marrying her will shorten one's life, and not looking at her and not marrying her will be the most painful thing!"
“!” He Yanzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura without making a sound. “They’re still too idle.”
Sensing danger, Wan Tao immediately slipped away.
It's just a pity for those soldiers who do their morning exercises.
He Yanzhi returned to the group of soldiers and said unhurriedly, "We're adding 20 kilometers of weight training today!"
"!!!" The entire training ground fell silent instantly.
He Yanzhi's training methods are more terrifying than those of a devil.
Back in his office, Wan Tao muttered to himself, "Maybe I should go and reserve a stretcher from the infirmary..."
...
After finishing his morning exercise, He Yanzhi went to find Zhu Yongqiang and conveyed Guan Wenru's intentions to him.
Once Zhu Yongqiang realized that Guan Wenru was determined to become a zookeeper, he decided to grant her wish.
However, Guan Wenru did not want to become a soldier. She joined the logistics department as an external staff member, responsible for the feeding of cattle and sheep.
Upon receiving the news, Guan Wenru didn't waste a moment and went straight to the logistics department to complete the relevant procedures.
She also went to collect two sets of military uniforms.
She wasn't a regular soldier, so she wasn't paid according to the soldier's allowance system.
She receives a fixed monthly salary of 35 yuan, with no other subsidies.
...
The day after completing the formalities, Guan Wenru changed into her military uniform after breakfast and hurriedly went to the logistics department to report for duty.
The logistics director has already explained the situation to the zookeepers.
When Guan Wenru arrived, all the zookeepers gathered together and got to know each other.
The 12th Division had approximately 5,000 soldiers.
Therefore, they raise a considerable number of livestock, currently more than 300 pigs, including ten sows.
Because the zookeepers are not very good at raising cattle and sheep, the number of cattle and sheep is relatively small.
There are 50 cows in total, 5 of which are cows.
There are 130 sheep, 20 of which are ewes.
Before winter, there were more cattle and sheep, but many of them froze to death after winter arrived.
Excluding Guan Wenru, there are currently four zookeepers.
Two people were responsible for raising pigs, and two people were responsible for raising cattle and sheep.
Guan Wenru followed the two soldiers in charge of raising cattle and sheep to the cattle and sheep shed.
At this time, the cowsheds and sheepsheds were very simple and not warm at all, no wonder the lambs froze to death.
After Lu Guodong and Wang Dagui helped Guan Wenru familiarize herself with the environment, they couldn't help but ask, "Madam Commander, why did you decide to become a zookeeper?"
They all knew that Commander He's wife was a college student from a prestigious university.
Why would knowledgeable and cultured people choose to do such dirty and tiring work instead of becoming teachers?
