Chapter 44 Chapter 44...
Chapter Forty-Four
Ye Anguo's transfer to the new military region is considered a promotion. Although his position is still regimental commander, his treatment is already that of a brigade commander. His further promotion is a foregone conclusion, and it will be implemented once he has led the special forces out of the ranks.
In fact, this can be considered as Jiang Lai's actions benefiting Ye Anguo.
Because the training space issue was in full swing, Jiang Lai's idea was to rotate it from one military region to another, striving to give every soldier the opportunity to train there. She also had Jin Nian give a few hints, just enough for the higher-ups to know.
And don't assume that everyone in the army is just a simple-minded, physically strong, and rough man. In reality, many of them are as cunning as sieves. If Jiang Lai reveals even the slightest bit of his true nature, they could probably find out everything he said in his sleep.
Fortunately, with Jin Nian's help, no one noticed Jiang Lai.
However, there were also some oversights by Jin Nian. Ye Anguo's promotion and transfer to the remote mountains to build a special forces unit was also due to Jin Nian.
As the man of his own host, Jin Nian naturally took extra care of him. However, he didn't expect that Jin Nian's slightly more care than others would be noticed by Ye Anguo's leaders.
Because of the slight favoritism shown to Ye Anguo by the secret realm, Ye Anguo stood out among equally outstanding candidates.
This time, the higher-ups were selecting people to form a special forces unit. Among the candidates were all outstanding soldiers like Ye Anguo, with excellent conditions in all aspects. Some were even more outstanding and younger. However, most leaders chose Ye Anguo because of the favor he received in the secret space.
This can only be described as Ye Anguo's luck.
Returning to Jiang Lai and Ye Anguo's new home, it was a detached bungalow with a yard, and it was clearly a newly built house.
What was even more obvious to Jiang Lai was that not only were the houses newly built, but the entire military region, all its facilities, were also newly built.
As mentioned before, the new military region is far from the city. Even to the nearest county town, it takes four hours by car. The entire military region was actually reclaimed from the mountains and forests.
Clearly, the special forces were decided upon after the secret realm was opened, and this new military region located deep in the mountains was also newly established.
Jiang Lai was not surprised at all by the country's infrastructure capabilities.
Not to mention that the new military region is still under construction and its current size is only equivalent to a regiment, she wouldn't be surprised even if the entire brigade-level special forces were completed. The title of "infrastructure maniac" is not just for show.
However, Jiang Lai was very excited. A new house is great, it's better than an old house, isn't it?
Jiang Lai's new home is quite large. After all, as one of the top leaders of the new military region, Ye Anguo's housing level is also the highest in the new military region, with a configuration of four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen.
Jiang Lai was quite satisfied with this, after all, there were many people in the family. It was fine for the children to live together now that they were still young, but when they grew up, they couldn't all live in the same room anymore; they needed some private space.
But for now, she should think about herself first. After days and nights on the train, Jiang Lai was already exhausted. All she wanted was to take a good shower and get some sleep.
"Let's tidy up first." Right now, Jiang Lai just wanted to get the room tidied up as quickly as possible, and deal with the rest later.
The house had actually been cleaned. As one of the top leaders, Ye Anguo's affairs were naturally taken to heart. Knowing that Ye Anguo and Jiang Lai were coming, someone had already come and cleaned the house.
However, even if you know the room is clean, you can't get over it if you don't clean it yourself before sleeping. It's probably just for psychological comfort.
So the two of them started working, first mopping the floor with water, wiping the whole room, and then changing the sheets and duvet covers.
Jiang Lai didn't care about any of that after that, because Ye Anguo had already boiled water in the kitchen before they started, and after cleaning the bedroom, Jiang Lai went to take a shower.
Ye Anguo had already noticed that Jiang Lai was feeling unwell and wanted to take a bath, so as soon as the water was boiled, he let Jiang Lai take a bath while he continued cleaning.
When Jiang Lai came out after taking a shower, Ye Anguo had already cleaned the kitchen and living room.
"Are you done washing up? Why don't you go get some sleep? You haven't been sleeping well on the train these past few days," Ye Anguo said.
Jiang Lai didn't stand on ceremony with him. What a joke! They were family, why be so polite? Otherwise, the marriage would have been a waste.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. You should go take a shower and rest too." Jiang Lai yawned and went back to her bedroom to rest.
As for Ye Anguo, although he didn't get much rest on the train, it wasn't a big deal. It's normal for soldiers to go on missions for days and nights without sleep, so at least he could rest on the train, which was no problem for him.
Actually, men are all full of energy right now, so they can't sleep. They have a lot of energy to burn, so they'd be better off working.
So while Jiang Lai rested, Ye Anguo stayed home like a little snail, cleaning the whole house by himself, and doing it all very quietly, afraid of making any noise that might wake Jiang Lai up.
After finishing cleaning the house, Ye Anguo started tidying up the yard. The yard was quite large, and remembering Jiang Lai's earlier suggestion that vegetables and flowers could be planted there, Ye Anguo borrowed a sickle, shovel, and hoe and started preparing the yard.
Ye Anguo's busy activities were naturally noticed by many people. Everyone only saw Ye Anguo working and did not see Jiang Lai. As a result, rumors spread during the time Jiang Lai was sleeping.
Some people say that Ye Anguo is henpecked. He looks powerful and imposing outside, but at home he can only act as a submissive wife. Otherwise, why would we only see him doing the housework?
People who had met Jiang Lai before said that Ye Anguo abandoned his first wife to marry a younger woman, and he's currently very infatuated with her.
The person who said the above knew Ye Anguo's age and had heard that Ye Anguo had three children. When Ye Anguo and Jiang Lai arrived at noon, they saw what Jiang Lai looked like and, through their own imagination, came to this conclusion.
This statement has been accepted by many people because it is true that Ye Anguo has three children, and he has already made arrangements for their education.
It's true that Jiang Lai is young. Ye Anguo, being a soldier, trains every day and is therefore rougher than the average person. Jiang Lai, on the other hand, is young and pampered, and has a special advantage. She's so tender that she seems like she could be squeezed dry.
Although the two had a harmonious aura when they stood together and seemed to complement each other well, it was also a fact that they had an age difference. Therefore, the claim that Ye Anguo abandoned his first wife to marry Jiang Lai was accepted by most people.
Jiang Lai had no idea that her reputation would be ruined simply because she had taken a nap.
Jiang Lai, who hadn't rested well on the train, slept for a long time. By the time they arrived, it was already past ten o'clock. After settling in, taking a shower, and resting, it was almost midnight. Jiang Lai ate a few bites of the biscuits she had bought on the way and then went to sleep.
Jiang Lai slept until after 8 p.m. If she hadn't been so hungry, she probably could have slept some more.
However, Jiang Lai was startled when she opened her eyes, because Ye Anguo was in the room at that moment and looked over immediately upon hearing the sound.
"Gurgle, gurgle" was the rumbling sound of Jiang Lai's stomach protesting.
"Hungry? Dinner is ready, get up and eat?" Ye Anguo reached out his hand to Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai got up with Ye Anguo's help and realized that Ye Anguo had been tidying up the wardrobe. Ye Anguo's clothes were already inside, taking up only a small part of the space, and Ye Anguo was putting Jiang Lai's clothes in.
Seeing Ye Anguo neatly placing her underwear in the drawer, Jiang Lai blushed deeply. Even after getting married, she was still shy.
Ye Anguo naturally saw Jiang Lai's blushing face. His heart stirred, and his hands followed suit. The next second, Jiang Lai, who had been sitting on the bed, was in Ye Anguo's arms.
The atmosphere became enchanting at this moment.
At this time, in this place, in this atmosphere, it felt like something had to happen for us to get through it.
Their heads drew closer and closer, so close they could feel the warmth of each other's breath and hear each other's thunderous heartbeats...
but,
"Jiang Lai, are you awake? Come down quickly." A familiar voice called out loudly from outside.
Ye Anguo could almost hear a hissing sound, the sound of the small flame going out.
