Chapter 4 The Orderly Comes to Pick Her Up



Fortunately, Yang Niannian was a good swimmer and quickly rescued the boy from the water. When Yang Niannian dragged the child out of the water, the children had disappeared without a trace.

The little boy who was rescued choked on a lot of water. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and started crying at the top of his voice, making Yang Niannian's head hurt.

She slapped the boy on the buttocks twice, "You can't swim and you're so close to the water. If I hadn't passed by here, you would have been waiting for your death. Will you come to such a dangerous place to play next time?"

"Wow... not coming anymore."

The little boy rubbed his eyes and cried in grievance, as if he had eaten half a pound of Coptis chinensis.

Yang Niannian lowered her head and twisted the water stains on her clothes. "Alright, stop crying. Go back quickly and don't play in such dangerous places anymore."

"An An?" A clear and beautiful female voice suddenly came from the road.

"Teacher Zhou." An An stopped crying, saw the person standing on the side of the road, and ran over immediately.

When Yang Niannian saw someone familiar to the boy coming, she knew that he would definitely be sent back. Her clothes were soaked and stuck to her skin, highlighting her body curves. This kind of solemnity had a bad effect in the army, and she didn't want to be criticized as soon as she arrived here.

Yang Niannian walked to the back of a high slope not far away, and seeing that there was no one around, she changed her wet clothes.

At the same time, a man with a strong and upright posture ran out from the army with a frown. When he saw that An An was fine, his brows relaxed.

The man had deep eyebrows and facial features as smooth as a sculpture. His wheat-colored skin gave people a sense of security. He wore a green military uniform without a single wrinkle, which was completely different from those unkempt men in daily life.

Looking at his handsome face, Zhou Xueli's heart beat uncontrollably. She tried to act calm and talked to the man, "Don't worry, An An is fine."

Lu Shishen glanced towards the water's edge. There was no one else here except Zhou Xueli. He said to her, "Thank you."

Zhou Xueli was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lu Shishen misunderstood that she was the one who saved An An. She went along with the mistake without any explanation, and even criticized him a few times from the teacher's perspective.

"Captain Lu, I know you are very busy, but you can't ignore the child. You have to pay more attention to An An. It is dangerous to play near the water. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret."

Lu Shishen nodded. He glanced at An An, which scared An An so much that he shrank his head. Fearing being scolded, An An did not dare to mention how he fell into the water, let alone how he was beaten by the woman who rescued him. He lowered his head and dared not utter a word.

Lu Shishen didn't yell at the child, his tone was calm, "Come here, I'll take you back to change clothes."

When An An saw that Lu Shishen didn't lose his temper, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Zhou Xueli's hand and walked over.

Seeing the two were about to leave, Zhou Xueli summoned up the courage to shout, "Captain Lu, I know you are very busy with your work, but An An's safety is also very important. I don't have anything to do on weekends. If you don't mind, I can come over to tutor An An during the holidays. This will not only improve his grades but also protect his safety."

"No need." Lu Shishen rejected Zhou Xueli's proposal directly without hesitation.

Walking into the family compound, An An mustered up the courage to ask, "Dad, why don't you let Teacher Zhou give me extra lessons?"

"It's not a good influence." Lu Shishen patiently taught, "The waterside is dangerous, don't go there without an adult. I'll teach you how to swim when I have time."

After Yang Niannian walked out from the high slope, the road was empty. There was a troop in front of her, and she was a little nervous.

There were two young sentries at the entrance of the army, both of them looked to be in their early twenties. Yang Niannian shamelessly stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Lu Shishen. I'm his wife."

After saying this, Yang Niannian almost bit off her tongue. Such words were so corny that her tongue was almost tied.

"What?" The sentry thought he had misheard and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

This time Yang Niannian said it more smoothly, "Lu Shishen's wife."

The two sentinels looked at each other, shock written in their eyes. When did the captain get married?

The sentry standing in front of Yang Niannian stared at her and happened to meet her gaze. The sentry blushed and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go and report."

Yang Niannian waited at the door for a few minutes. Soon, the sentry came with a soldier about eighteen or nineteen years old. The soldier had dark skin and spoke with a southern accent. He looked very friendly. Before he came up to her, he smiled with his big teeth bared and greeted her.

"Sister-in-law, you are here."

"The commander is really something. You are coming here for such a big event, but he didn't even inform us in advance. Oh, by the way, my name is Li Fengyi and I am the commander's orderly. I have already sent someone to notify the commander. Come in with me and rest for a while."

Li Fengyi was not at all shy and spoke a lot of words in a very familiar manner. Yang Niannian couldn't help but smile when she heard his old-fashioned name. She thought this man was easy to get along with. She nodded and smiled and followed him into the army. A group of soldiers were training on the playground. They noticed that a strange beautiful girl suddenly came to the army, and they all looked over at once.

This made the instructor who was training them very angry. He yelled at them and made them run thirty laps around the playground as punishment.

Li Fengyi chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind it."

"How could that be? They are so cute." Yang Niannian was also amused and suddenly felt that this place seemed pretty good. There were young and energetic faces everywhere. It was much more comfortable than living in the village.

Li Fengyi smiled sheepishly and touched the back of his head. "Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've heard someone use the word cute to describe grown men like us."

Yang Niannian smiled without saying anything. She followed Li Fengyi to the reception room.

"Sister-in-law, please wait here for a while. The leader will be here soon."

It was not convenient for him, a grown man, to stay here, so he gave a few instructions, poured a glass of water for Yang Niannian and left.

Yang Niannian looked at the enamel pot on the table, with the five big words "Serve the People" printed on it, which was quite appropriate.

No, what did Li Fengyi keep calling Lu Shishen? Head of the group?

Wasn't he the company commander? How did he become the regiment commander? He couldn't have been promoted so quickly, right?

Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Thinking it was Lu Shishen coming, she quickly sat up straight, but the person just glanced inside and left.

Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at her own neurosis. Several soldiers in military uniforms passed by the door one after another, and they all glanced at her and left. Yang Niannian found it funny. These people were obviously here to see her, but they pretended to be passing by. How cute.

She suddenly became very curious about what kind of person Lu Shishen was and why these people were so curious about Lu Shishen's wife.

"Captain, my sister-in-law is so beautiful. I see she is so frail. She must have suffered a lot on the way here..." Li Fengyi's loud voice came from outside, and it sounded as if he was only two or three steps away from the door.
