Chapter 399: Extra: A Comprehensive Story (1)

Bai Linyan looked at the family quietly.

He has not seen such a happy and warm scene since his original wife left him five years ago. Although Wang Ziru has divorced the man under his roof, they still get along well.

Inexplicably, I developed a strong interest in this seemingly weak woman.

He secretly looked at Zhai Ximo with a rather meaningful look in his eyes.

Although this boy was born in poverty, his parents gave him a good-looking appearance, a pair of long legs, and a cool temperament. He is indeed a rough but handsome man that women find hard to take their eyes off.

Wang Ziru bit a cucumber in her mouth and scanned the crooked handwriting on the letter in her hand. "Huh? Xueru said in the letter that they might come here to see us soon?"

"Is uncle coming?" Although Baoer didn't recognize the words written on the letter, the cute little Baosi was not to be outdone. She tried hard to get into her mother's arms, pulled the letter over, and read it seriously.

Suddenly, the child's mother raised her almond-shaped eyes, looked at the man standing under the eaves, and changed her words: "Brother, will they really come to the special forces to see you?"

"Maybe it's just what's written in the letter. In reality, they don't have the time, and they don't have a car to come. Unless..." Zhai Ximo touched his head, and his eyes lit up after a little thought, "If there happens to be a military vehicle transporting supplies between the Ninth Division and the special forces, they may really be able to take a ride here."

Wang Ziru continued to read the letter, muttering, "They didn't say when they would come. I miss them so much."

"..." Zhai Ximo pursed his thin lips tightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

The past events are like a nightmare.

Zhou Zijiao noticed something was wrong, walked over calmly, and looked at the mother and son with a smile.

Then he looked at Zhai Ximo again, "Is your elder brother going to join the special forces?"

"Yes! Zhou Zijiao, do you want to meet my uncle and aunt too?" The cute little baby asked curiously, calling Zhou Zijiao by his name.

"Yes, after all, he is your uncle, the biological brother of your father Zhai Ximo."

Zhou Zijiao secretly tugged at Zhai Ximo and whispered, "It's time for us to rejoin the team."

The silent man nodded slightly.

"Mom! I miss uncle so much. When will they come to the special forces to see me?" Baoer asked while tilting his little face and blinking his cute big eyes.

"My uncle works in a luggage factory every day, and my aunt has to farm. How can they have the time to go to such a far place? Maybe they just want to make your father happy."

Wang Ziru gently held her son's body like a loach, and after some gentle persuasion, she approached him and kissed his forehead.

Zhai Ximo knew very well that during the five years that the mother and son had lived in the Zhai family, it was more or less his eldest brother who had taken care of them.

It is human nature to have deep feelings.

"Zi Ru, we can't be out for too long. We have to return to the team on time." Zhai Ximo greeted his ex-wife politely when he left.

"You two should go back soon." Wang Ziru folded up the letter and wanted to return it to the man, but Baoer refused. "Dad, keep it for me. When I miss my uncle, I will take it out and let mom read it to me."

After hearing these words, Zhai Ximo felt even more uncomfortable for some reason. He sighed, frowned slightly, turned around and strode towards the village path.

The two men sitting on the other side of the door both looked at Wang Ziru.

Commander Zhou was thinking about whether to find an excuse to leave when he saw the lady and Zhai Ximo hurried back to the unit.

He stood up and said, "It's time for me to go to the troops and meet up with the commander. I heard that the special forces built more than a dozen dormitories in just a month and a half. Han Suijing has done a great job this time and solved a big problem for the commander."

"After all, he promoted these subordinates himself..." Bai Linyan said calmly while drinking tea.

Several people left the village one after another and returned to the troops. The previous bustle gradually faded away, and the Yang family courtyard seemed a little deserted.

As Commander Zhou followed his daughter out of the forest path, he saw a jeep in front of him. The person who got out of the car was the instructor of the 9th Division, and several other people got out of the car one after another.

Outside the troop gate, Fu Xun came out of the car, shaking his feet and moving his legs, and then he saw Commander Zhou.

The two men greeted each other from a distance.

"Old Fu!"

"Old Zhou, you're here early!"

Zhai Ximo was walking towards the military gate with his head down when he suddenly saw Fu Xun coming out of a car and someone in the car called him.

Turning around, he was surprised to see his eldest brother and sister-in-law, who had also come to the special forces with Fu Xun.

There was another woman whom he had never seen before.

Fu Xun and Commander Zhou shook hands and greeted each other warmly while standing on the road.

Then, the two of them walked towards the gate, talking and laughing. They saw the young lady standing next to the brat with a happy look on her face, and heard Zhai Ximo calling her brother!

Teacher Zhou was stunned. Could it be that these two were Zhai Ximo's brother and sister-in-law?

"Dad! Wait a minute." Zhou Zijiao saw his father looking at them, so he quickly called him and shyly introduced him to Zhai Qingsong: "This is my dad..."

How could Zhai Qingsong know that his third brother had found a new partner just a few months after his divorce in the special forces?

He smiled and nodded, "Hello, Chief!"

Just now, he also saw Fu Xun greeting the other party and calling him "Commander Zhou", so he guessed that the other party must also be a leader.

"Well, you guys chat." Commander Zhou glanced at the people who greeted Zhai Ximo, waved his hand, and walked straight into the special forces for a visit with Fu Xun.

Cheng Xueru could tell that the shy girl who followed her brother-in-law must have a complicated relationship with him.

She smiled and asked, "She is your comrade-in-arms, right?"

Without waiting for Zhai Ximo to answer, Zhou Zijiao volunteered to introduce himself: "Sister-in-law! My name is Zhou Zijiao, and my father has agreed to their two dating. The one just now is my father."

The girl's cheeks flushed and she pointed her finger at the army gate.

Zhai Qingsong was a simple and honest man. He just smiled and paused before asking, "Where are your sister-in-law and Baoer?"

"Baoer and his mother are in the village. I'll take you to find them." As he was speaking, he saw Fu Jiqiu didn't need anyone to lead him and went straight to the village.

Zhou Zijiao couldn't follow them back to the village, so he had to stand on the road and look at the direction they left. He always felt a little regretful that he had not yet penetrated into the enemy's interior.

Zhai Ximo led them for a few steps and asked, "I don't think I've seen her before?"

"Oh, Su Su is Fu Jiqiu's new mother. Commander Fu just got married, and you must have never met her." Cheng Xueru introduced enthusiastically.

"...Has Commander Fu got married recently?" Zhai Ximo felt a little surprised.

They all knew that Fu Xun's ex-wife had passed away due to illness, and he had been living alone with Fu Jiqiu in the past few years. He might have wanted to find a woman to marry, but he had never found a suitable one.

But in the end, I found such a young and pretty girl. I am so lucky.

Su Meikou followed them and smiled shyly, "Not long ago, I came here with Fu Xun. At that time, I came to see Fu Jiqiu."

The group walked into the forest path talking and laughing. With two women present, Zhai Qingsong could find out more about Zhou Zijiao's background.

When they arrived at the village, Cheng Xueru saw the densely packed greenhouses and asked in surprise, "Are these all the vegetables grown by Ziru?"

"You've also heard what Chief Fu said, right?" Zhai Ximo smiled knowingly and introduced, "These crops are usually worked on by villagers. Ziru can't handle it all by herself."

"I really admire her! A woman like her can build a vegetable garden of this scale." Cheng Xueru had long been full of admiration for her sister-in-law. She had even been wondering in her heart whether she would also build such an insulated shed to grow vegetables when she returned.

In the village, the mother and son had just put the letter in their pockets when they suddenly saw Fu Jiqiu rushing into the village like a gust of wind.

The two little cuties held hands and screamed excitedly.

Less than half a minute later, Zhai Ximo also returned to the village.

There are a few people following behind...

Wang Ziru saw the person following Zhai Ximo and waved at her, and her jaw dropped in shock. "Brother! Why are you here?!"

“Zi Ru!”

"Baoer!"

…

Wang Ziru was so happy to suddenly see so many relatives that she didn't know what to do and hurriedly arranged dinner.

She called over Zhuang, who was picking vegetables for the army's kitchen staff, and said, "I'm going to entertain guests tonight. Go buy me some bacon and pork trotters."

"Ah? But Comrade Ziru, the soldiers in the kitchen squad still need me to weigh them."

"Brother Li, let others do the work in the fields!" Wang Ziru, the small boss, waved her hands, "Go buy me a bacon pig's trotter! I'll make some pig's trotter soup to entertain the guests tonight."

Zhai Qingsong hadn't seen his sister-in-law and Bao'er for a long time. He hugged his eldest nephew and kissed him, smiling innocently, "Sister-in-law, we are not outsiders. Eat whatever you have and don't spend that money."

"Yes! Ziru! Our family finally has the opportunity to be together. We two sisters-in-law can talk for a while when we have time. It will be enough if we can have something to eat." Cheng Xueru said with a smile.

Su Meikou also nodded: "Zi Ru, you really don't need to buy pig's feet. Just bring some vegetables grown in your fields and stir-fry them."

"How can I do that? You are my family! You have come all the way to see me and Bao Er, how can you only eat vegetarian food?"

Wang Ziru insisted on preparing a sumptuous dinner to entertain them.

The two cute kids held hands, and Fu Jiqiu suddenly said, "Auntie, is the pickled cabbage you made last time ready to eat?"

“Sauerkraut?!”

"Yes, you said that it is especially delicious when cooked with sauerkraut and fish..." Fu Jiqiu said embarrassedly.

"Oh! By the way, the pickled cabbage I made is ready to eat." Wang Ziru patted her forehead and suddenly remembered the pickled cabbage she made in the pot two months ago. It was ready to eat, but she just didn't eat it recently. "Brother Li, please buy me a fish, a big one, so I can cook pickled fish for them."

Zhuang Jiahan smiled innocently and nodded, then took the money and said, "Then I'll go back to the village to buy it."

Bao Er pulled Fu Ji Qiu and said, "There are so many soldiers coming to the army now. Let's go. I'll take you to see the soldiers training."

"Brother, sister-in-law, you guys just stay and play in the village. I have to go back to the army." Zhai Ximo was reluctant to leave, especially when he saw his ex-wife arranging dinner so happily. Seeing that the two young guys were going back to the army, he took them back with him.

As soon as the two kids ran onto the playground, they ran into Commander Duan and his group. They were standing at the edge of the playground, pointing at the training ground in the distance which had been expanded several times and talking about something.

Suddenly seeing Fu Jiqiu coming, Commander Duan joked, "Fu Jiqiu, are you going to the special forces with your father to see Baoer again this time?"

Fu Xun smiled and waved: "Fu Jiqiu, come and talk to the commander uncle."

The two little cute babies walked over hand in hand, looking very close.

Commander Duan said to the two little kids with a smile, "You two are so skinny. Go to the canteen tonight and have more food, like two big steamed buns."

Fu Jiqiu said embarrassedly, "Last time my aunt made pickled cabbage, and she wanted to cook pickled fish for us for dinner."

Commander Duan originally did not intend to embarrass his young wife at night.

I was very surprised to hear that Zhai Qingsong and his wife had also come here, and Fu Xun's newlywed wife also came to play.

Commander Duan's mood suddenly brightened up a bit, stroking his chin, "It seems that I'm in for a treat today! Tonight, I'll go to the village with my little guy to taste the pickled fish made by Bao'er's mother..."

The news of Wang Ziru entertaining distinguished guests spread quickly. Commander Duan, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately arranged a soldier to go to the village to inform: "Go and ask Bao'er's mother to prepare dinner, and tell her that I am coming over for dinner."

"Commander, you are out of touch with reality, aren't you? As special forces, you should go in-depth into the masses and eat in the cafeteria with the soldiers." A division commander said half-jokingly.

Commander Duan frowned and glanced at the other party. "How can a noble son of the Duan family like me get used to the food in the army cafeteria?!"

"You are right. I will leave you to go to the cafeteria and eat with the warriors."
