Yang Niannian stood firm and looked up to see a strong and well-built soldier with regular features standing in front of her. He seemed to want to help her, but when he saw her stand firm, he took his hand back.

The soldier also saw Yang Niannian's appearance at this time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he apologized.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Yang Niannian shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road just now."

"Big sister, are you okay?" Tao Hua noticed something was wrong, so she turned around and walked over, looking Yang Niannian up and down with concern.

Yang Niannian replied softly, "I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Tao Hua smiled and introduced, "You don't know him yet? This is Deputy Headmaster Bai."

Then he introduced her to Deputy Captain Bai, "Deputy Captain Bai, she is Captain Lu's wife, her name is Yang Niannian."

Deputy Captain Bai just heard Zhao Fengnian calling Yang Niannian "sister-in-law". Seeing that she was young, he thought she was the wife of some platoon leader or company commander. He didn't expect that she was actually Lu Shishen's wife.

Forehead……

That guy must be around twenty-six or twenty-seven, right?

This girl looks like she has just reached adulthood... an old cow eating young grass?

Yang Niannian had no idea what Deputy Captain Bai was thinking. When she heard that he was Deputy Captain Bai, she immediately greeted him politely.

"Deputy Captain Bai."

Deputy Captain Bai came back to his senses, nodded at her, and said, "So it's my sister-in-law."

Tao Hua interrupted and said, "Deputy Captain Bai, we'll go back to the guesthouse first. We still have to clean up and prepare for the show later."

"good."

Deputy Captain Bai nodded and walked towards the cafeteria.

Tao Hua was worried that Yang Niannian would meet someone again, so she took her arm and introduced them to her in a low voice as they walked.

"The one just now was Deputy Regiment Commander Bai. He is Commander Du's nephew. However, he didn't rely on connections to get into the army. He climbed up step by step through his own efforts. He is a good person, and the wives of the soldiers all have good things to say about him."

Upon hearing this, Yang Niannian couldn't help but look back, and just in time saw Deputy Captain Bai entering the cafeteria.

She inquired thoughtfully, "Didn't Commander Du's son join the army?"

Tao Hua had an expression of admiration on her face.

"Of course they are in. Commander Du has three sons and one daughter."

"His eldest son is a naval officer, his second son is also in the Marine Corps, with a battalion rank or above, but he is not in our unit, and his third son works in the military hospital. By the way, his youngest daughter is also very capable. I heard that she was admitted to Beijing University this year."

Yang Niannian was stunned, "Chief Du's daughter is a student at Peking University?"

"Yes!" Tao Hua nodded, her face full of envy. "As the saying goes, like father and son, like daughter. Look at how outstanding Chief Du's four children are. You can't find one like him among a hundred thousand people."

Yang Niannian agreed with Tao Hua's words, "They are indeed excellent. It is not easy for all of their children to become successful. The leader's wife must have put a lot of thought into it."

Commander Du is in the army all day long, and most of his children are raised by his wife. She must be a very good mother to raise several children so well.

"Maybe it's because I worry too much. The chief's wife has not been in good health, so she seldom goes out and has been recuperating at home." Tao Hua said regretfully.

Her husband is capable and her children are promising, but she is in poor health. Isn't this a case of beauty being unlucky?

Yang Niannian was still thinking about Chief Du's daughter's study at Beijing University. "What's Chief Du's daughter's name?"

"My name is Du Jiping." Tao Hua was speaking smoothly, so she asked casually, "Big sister, you are not also studying at Peking University, are you?"

At this time, Sister Ping's voice suddenly came over, "Niannian, Taohua, why are you still walking slowly in the back? Hurry up, everyone should go to Manzhi to gather."

Tao Hua was distracted. "Hey, sister, let's go faster! I think Manzhi is in a bad mood today. If we go late again, she will definitely be unhappy again."

The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at Lin Manzhi's room. The other military wives had already arrived.

Lin Manzhi was saying something when she saw Yang Niannian and Tao Hua coming. She glanced at them and continued talking.

"Let's do as I said and go downstairs for a general rehearsal. You all need to be fully focused and perform as if you were officially on stage. No mistakes can be made."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked out.

Everyone hurriedly followed Lin Manzhi downstairs. According to the rehearsal order, Yang Niannian came on stage first and spoke a few lines. She had already memorized what she was going to say, and spoke very smoothly and with confidence, which was a great improvement over her usual rehearsals.

Lin Manzhi's face didn't look very good. She felt that Yang Niannian was usually hiding her shortcomings, but she didn't know what to say.

The whole rehearsal went smoothly and Lin Manzhi looked much better.

"Since there are no problems, let's go change our clothes now!"

Then he looked at Tao Hua and said, "The dress you wore yesterday looked like old-age clothing. Lend it to Ying Lian for a while."

Tao Hua couldn't refuse, and after Lin Manzhi left, she couldn't help complaining.

"You can borrow it if you want to wear it, but why does it look like old age clothing? I had that dress specially made by a tailor last year. I loved it so much at the time that I usually don't wear it."

However, Yang Niannian sensed from Lin Manzhi's attitude just now that she was targeting Tao Hua, so she called out to Song Fen in front of her and asked.

"Did something happen while we were away?"

When Song Fen saw that everyone had gone upstairs, she pinched her throat and spoke in a low voice.

"Just now, Sister Lin asked who took the lead in washing their faces, and the other sisters-in-law said that they washed their faces because they saw Sister Hua and I washing our faces. Sister Lin was not very happy."

When Tao Hua heard this, what was there that she didn't understand?

Lin Manzhi was holding a grudge against her.

She explained, "I didn't want to wash it in the first place, but Old Yan insisted that it looked like a monkey's butt and told me to wash it off."

Yang Niannian comforted her, "It's just a make-up. Even if she's angry, it won't matter, right? I don't think Deputy Commander Wei is a soft-hearted person. Besides, the army is not a private business. You can't do whatever you want."

Tao Hua and Song Fen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Based on their understanding of Deputy Captain Wei, he was indeed not a bad person. At least the men had never said anything bad about him, which meant that he was a good person.

"Hurry up and change your clothes! If it's too late, she will find an excuse to blame us." Song Fen said.

When Tao Hua heard this, she hurried upstairs.

After all, Lin Manzhi is the wife of Deputy Captain Wei. For the sake of the man, she can only be humble and submissive. The whole family depends on the man's allowance to live.
