Wen Lingling looked shyly at Ruan Shengpeng, only to find his face was frosty. She shivered, realizing she had been too hasty.
We should deal with the immediate obstacles first. After all, this is a military camp, and military marriages are no joke.
Wen Lingling quickly tugged at her companion: "I'm sorry, Commander Ruan, we were just joking with your wife. I was worried she'd be too bored at home alone."
"Sister Qiu was just joking; she absolutely had no intention of ruining your marriage!"
Sister Qiu looked at Wen Lingling with some confusion. She was about to speak when Wen Lingling pinched her, and even the dumbest person would know not to say anything now.
The two men ran off quickly, leaving behind the family of three. Yao Tongjia looked up and asked, "Commander Ruan, people say my mother is old and faded, and that we should let her step down. Do you think so too?"
Ruan Shengpeng's scalp tingled: "Tongtong, if I really want to change people, when I come back I can just say that you've been missing for over ten years and that I'm marrying a new wife!"
"Then who would criticize me? Why would I need to bring you all back before even discussing remarriage!"
Yao Tongjia knew this was a stress reaction. She put her hand down and pulled her mother inside, saying, "The problem is still with you. You need to solve it yourself. Don't leave it to my mother."
"That woman is clearly after you. You must not let her get close to Mom. Mom is such a naive person. If she gets framed, no matter how much you retaliate, she will still have a grudge!"
Yao Tongjia's words made Ruan Shengpeng's heart tighten: "I'm going to make a call right now. What's the point of keeping such a pillar of the military? Just make her take off her uniform and leave!"
Ruan Shengpeng was also angry. He had finally managed to get closer to his daughter, but someone always seemed to be causing trouble.
The head of the cultural troupe was somewhat surprised when he received the call: "What are your instructions, Commander Ruan?"
It was a cultural troupe, not a part directly managed by Commander Ruan, so the two of them really had no interaction whatsoever.
After hearing Ruan Shengpeng's words, the troupe leader closed her eyes. Of course, she knew that Wen Lingling had been looking for a partner recently, and she also knew that she had always disliked the people she was looking for.
But no matter how bad things are, she shouldn't have set her sights on Commander Ruan. She had heard of Commander Ruan's deeds; they were still as loving as ever after being separated for more than ten years.
Such a person, who dares to dream of replacing others, is truly a fool!
However, Wen Lingling was someone she had personally trained, and she couldn't bear to see Wen Lingling forced to retire from the military. At her age, it was already difficult for her to find a partner, and if she retired, her options would become even fewer.
The regimental commander pleaded for Wen Lingling: "I will definitely have a good talk with Wen Lingling. If she harasses you again next time, I will definitely make her leave the army! Is that alright, Commander Ruan?"
This department wasn't under his direct management, so his request was already somewhat overstepping his bounds. He could only agree: "As long as she doesn't harass my wife, how could I possibly remember who she is?"
The regimental commander understood Ruan Shengpeng's words: "I will definitely tell Wen Lingling that if there is a next time, I will make sure she can never wear a military uniform again!"
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Shengpeng spread his hands: "If Yan Yan dares to come looking for you, ignore her and tell me. I will definitely make sure she can't stay here any longer."
Yao Yanxin has always been kind to others: "As long as she doesn't come, that's fine. You can't block someone's future!"
Yao Tongjia disagreed: "Mom, didn't you see the calculating look in her eyes when she left? She hasn't given up on your husband yet!"
"I bet she'll apologize to you later and say she sees you're lonely and that she often comes to keep you company, becoming your best friend. Once you're best friends, it'll be easy for her to do something behind your back!"
"Really? Don't think so badly of her. Maybe she just misunderstood for a moment!"
"I bet she will. Even with my dad's threats, she'll still come to you, Mom. Do you believe me? Let's make a bet. She'll come to apologize to you by tomorrow at the latest!"
"What if she doesn't come tomorrow?" Yao Yanxin was a gentle mother. Seeing that Yao Tongjia wanted to play, she decided to play with her.
"She's not coming tomorrow, so I'll learn to cook and make you a meal!"
These words made Yao Yanxin laugh. She knew that Yao Tongjia disliked cooking the most. Seeing that her daughter had shown her utmost sincerity, she nodded: "Then come over tomorrow night. I'll listen to whatever you say from now on!"
Ruan Shengpeng loved seeing the two most important women in his life together in harmony. Thinking of the bullets he'd taken out, he said, "Are we still going to practice shooting? I've already got the bullets!"
"Mom, let's go together. Let's practice our skills. I'll ask Dad to give you a toy gun, it'll be good for self-defense!"
Yao Yanxin initially wanted to shake her head, but seeing the longing in her daughter's eyes, she nodded: "Let's go together!"
Ruan Shengpeng was genuinely happy this time. He had invited her before, but Yao Yanxin had always refused.
When the three of them arrived at the training ground, Yao Tongjia was stunned by what she saw. The venue could only be described as 'rudimentary'.
On a vast expanse of muddy ground, several targets stood upright, their centers tattered and worn, clearly indicating they had been frequently hit.
Seeing Yao Tongjia's incredulous look, Ruan Shengpeng explained, "No one comes around here. If someone does come, they'll see us immediately, so we won't accidentally hurt anyone."
Yao Tongjia understood. She picked up a pistol and weighed it in her hand. It was a bit heavy. She remembered the pistol that Xiao Gengwu had made. She hadn't fired it, but she had handled it.
"Has Brother Xiao's handgun not been used yet?"
"I heard it's not finished yet. Use this to practice first. If you like it, I'll see if I can give you the materials and have your brother Xiao make one for you and your mom!"
Yao Tongjia nodded. Ruan Shengpeng first disassembled all the pistols, then explained them to the two of them one by one, and then reassembled the guns little by little.
When talking about his expertise, Ruan Shengpeng seemed to glow, and Yao Yanxin looked at her husband with stars in her eyes.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ruan Shengpeng so radiant, which made Ruan Shengpeng extremely happy; the couple's eyes were practically glued to each other.
Yao Tongjia wished she could just disappear on the spot. Sure enough, the child was an accident. The couple is the real love!
Ruan Shengpeng sensed Yao Tongjia's unease and quickly pulled her aside to explain the structure of the pistol, then had them assemble it themselves.
两个经过萧庚晤改造过的记忆力，很快就把手枪组装好，阮盛鹏感叹：“我媳妇和闺女真厉害，有些兵来来去去好几天都装不好，你们看两遍就会了！”
