"Hmph, I told you more than a month ago that I was going to see my daughter in person. Look how long it's been now, and we still haven't arrived."
On the train, Chen Juan complained to Ruan Minqiang with dissatisfaction.
Hearing his wife's complaints, Ruan Minqiang showed no displeasure. He smiled and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to Chen Juan.
Chen Juan took the chocolate, glared angrily at Ruan Minqiang, and then put it in her mouth.
Seeing this, Ruan Minqiang's smile widened even more.
In fact, he had long wanted to see his daughter in person.
However, he was, after all, a division commander. To leave his military region, he needed to submit an application to his superiors and wait for approval before he could leave.
After all, many people are eyeing his position as division commander. The current situation is unstable, and many details can easily be used as leverage. If he is accused of some bad crime and ends up being criticized and demoted, that would be a real loss.
He was worried about his daughter, but he couldn't disregard the safety of his entire family.
Chen Juan was naturally aware of her husband's predicament, but because she was worried about her daughter, she would sometimes throw a little tantrum.
To keep a low profile and avoid giving anyone grounds for suspicion, they didn't even use a car when traveling from Haicheng to Qian Province. They simply took three bodyguards and came directly by train.
As she got closer and closer to Qian Province, Chen Juan became more and more anxious: she was about to see her precious daughter, but she wondered if her daughter would be happy.
******
Ruan Miaomiao, from Jianshan Brigade, was busy tidying up her small courtyard, unaware that her parents were coming to see her.
The newly built courtyard was constructed by Zhou Jingyun according to her preferences, leading the entire village to build it together. It is one of the few large brick and tile houses in the village.
There are two bedrooms, a living room, a storage room, and a kitchen.
Zhou Jingyun even built a simple bathroom with a wet and dry separation, as requested by Ruan Miaomiao.
It's supposed to be a wet and dry separation, but it's actually just two small rooms next to each other.
Of course, this is the first of its kind in Jianshan Brigade.
Don't underestimate this simple, flushable squat toilet made of cement; it already blows away all the other toilets in the village.
After all, at least Ruan Miaomiao no longer has to worry about falling off the wooden planks of the outhouse when she defecates, nor does she have to worry about seeing wriggling white maggots inside when she looks down.
This alone makes many young women and wives in the village extremely envious.
When we moved into our new house, this squat toilet was the place that was visited the most in the whole house.
Now, Ruan Miaomiao is sitting in the living room with a honeycomb briquette stove burning, sorting through the things she received after moving into her new home, and thinking about what she can send to her parents in Haicheng.
Although she was a transmigrator and not the biological daughter of Ruan's parents, she could still feel their deep love for her.
Moreover, she has taken over the body of the original owner, whose parents were kind and good. What reason does she have not to be filial to them?
After sorting through the gifts sent by the village, Ruan Miaomiao began to organize the things in her space.
Inside the space, there was a huge pile of vegetables she had grown herself, such as green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pea shoots.
Seeing that she had enough vegetables stored in her space to eat for a long time, Ruan Miaomiao began to have other ideas:
Qian Province is located in the southwest, but it is a famous province for medicinal herbs. Chinese medicinal herbs can be found everywhere, covering the mountains and plains.
It is said that several years later, the Chinese herbal medicines produced in Qian Province were even exported to places like Xiao Rizi.
Later, out of jealousy, he secretly set fire to several forests, destroying most of the forests in Qian Province, and many of the precious Chinese medicinal herbs were also destroyed.
Now that she has her own space as a helper, she wants to try planting some precious and rare Chinese medicinal herbs in it.
When the time comes, once they're ripe, they can pretend they dug them up from Qinglong Mountain themselves and have Zhou Jingyun sell them for them at the provincial pharmaceutical factory.
Here she is, she just sorted out a wild ginseng that looks like it's twenty years old, but it was actually only grown in her space for a little over a month, along with a lot of astragalus and angelica, and asked Zhou Jingyun to take it to the provincial capital for her.
"Miaomiao, Zhou Tiemin's accountant position has been revoked. He must still be holding a grudge against me. Be careful when I'm not home. If you notice anything amiss, shout loudly. I've told the brigade leader and the others to take care of you while I'm away."
The thought of having to leave for a few days filled Zhou Jingyun with reluctance.
Looking at Ruan Miaomiao with a worried expression, he thought for a moment and then solemnly instructed her, "Miaomiao, if anyone dares to bully you, beat them to death. Just keep them alive. Don't worry, your man is capable now. As long as he has a breath left, I will make sure you don't go to jail."
His Miaomiao can bully others, but others can't bully his Miaomiao.
"Also, tomorrow people from the commune and the county revolutionary committee will come to criticize and denounce Zhou Tiemin's family. When you're watching the commotion, don't go to the front. Those people are too reckless and might bump into you!"
...
Zhou Jingyun kept talking, expressing his reluctance to part with Ruan Miaomiao.
Ruan Miaomiao poked the other person with a cute smile, and replied with a helpless look, "I know, I know, if you keep saying that you sound like a little old lady!"
"..."
Hearing Ruan Miaomiao's heartless words, Zhou Jingyun rubbed her head helplessly but affectionately, and continued to instruct: "Now that the weather is cold, you don't need to get up so early in the morning. I've told my mom and the others, and my mom will have my sister bring you breakfast around ten o'clock every day. After you eat, you can go back to sleep."
"You stay home and sleep well, wait for me obediently. When I come back, I'll bring you your favorite big meat buns from the state-run restaurant in the county and sticky rice from the state-run restaurant in the provincial capital."
...
"Zhou Jingyun, are you reluctant to part with me?"
Ruan Miaomiao tilted her head, her watery eyes slyly watching the man who was still babbling on and on, and suddenly asked a question.
? ? ? ?
Zhou Jingyun was surprised that the other person had seen through his thoughts. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to pull the person into his body.
With his head resting on the woman's head, Zhou Jingyun's deep, resonant voice was filled with sorrow: "Yes, I can't bear to part with her."
I want to see you every time I open my eyes!
But I want to give you the good life that all women in the world envy, so I have to work hard and strive!
I'd rather suffer the injustice now than let you suffer even the slightest in the future!
Zhou Jingyun silently told himself that he didn't want to pass on his negative emotions to the little woman; he just wanted Ruan Miaomiao to always be happy.
Feeling enveloped by intense emotions, the ice in Ruan Miaomiao's heart slowly melted, and something seemed to be starting to change.
She reached out and hugged Zhou Jingyun back, whispering, "Zhou Jingyun, I'll wait for you!"
