After the call connected, he quickly introduced himself: "I am Pan Jun, a veteran. I am looking for Brigade Commander Ruan Shengpeng. Please call him."
The young man on the other end of the phone immediately replied skillfully, "Brigade Commander Ruan is out on a mission and is not currently in the camp!"
Recently, Ruan Shengpeng's mother has been calling him every day, demanding that he come home. He has already told her that he has gone on a mission, but she still won't let it go!
Upon hearing this reply, Pan Jun could only say that he knew. After hanging up the phone, he frowned. He also knew that Ruan Shengpeng had been away on missions for more than ten years.
He was promoted to brigade commander after returning, and he was completely convinced of the honor. This guy is a ruthless person who dared to take on such a mission!
But I just don't know how his wife, that seemingly gentle and weak woman, managed to raise two children all by herself!
Thinking of this, his heart started to pound. He had unintentionally heard that Ruan's mother was not an easy person to get along with. Could it be that the three of them, mother and son, had ended up here?
Pan Jun picked up the phone, wanting to ask someone to investigate. It didn't seem right for him to pry into his brother's family's privacy, so he hesitated for a moment and then put the phone down.
He laughed at himself, wondering what was wrong with him? He just couldn't let go of that fleeting glimpse of her! They say you shouldn't mess with your brother's wife, so he shook his head, banishing these inappropriate thoughts from his mind!
This place is too backward, and too many people are starving. Even though he is the highest leader of the Kagome Association, it is a position that is despised by everyone.
He also hoped to use his power to benefit the people! The waterwheel was the first project, and thinking of that kid reminded me of that face.
He took out his notebook, found the phone number he had written down earlier, picked up the phone and dialed it. The call was answered quickly.
Before Pan Jun could even speak, the other party started rattling off, "Ruan Shengpeng, you unfilial son, you'd better return your paycheck and the money your sister gave you!"
"So what if your sister spends your salary? How dare you actually take all the money? If you don't give it back, don't ever come back. I'll pretend I never had a son like you!"
"Your vixen wife abandoned you for some other man, and I kindly found you a fake one, and you're not even grateful!..."
Pan Jun hung up the phone immediately, but then pondered what he had just heard. This was Ruan Shengpeng's wife, and she wasn't in Beijing.
Pan Jun's heart was pounding like a drum. Could it be that such a simple person was forced to leave his hometown by Ruan's mother and was still here?
His surname is Yao? Could it be that he took her surname?
His lips curled into a smile, and he said, "How could two people who are not related by blood look so alike? They must be mother and daughter. That frail person must be here too!"
Pan Jun was so excited that he stood up and walked around a few times. But as he walked, his heart sank. Sigh! She was Ruan Shengpeng's wife, and she had given him a son and a daughter.
I'll just do a good deed to the end and help him find out if his wife is really here!
As he spoke, he picked up the phone, and after someone said something, the call was quickly disconnected!
Pan Jun sat down and made a detailed plan for the waterwheel factory. He was the highest leader of the Gewei Association, but not the highest leader of the county.
Even the highest-ranking leader in the county has people who voice their opposition. Nowadays, people are self-important and only want to be high and mighty, not want others to do anything practical.
Before the factory was even built, Pan Jun received the following information: Yao Tongjia really was Ruan Shengpeng's daughter. That kid is so lucky.
His wife is beautiful, and his daughter is just as pretty. I wonder what his son looks like? I heard they both attend Dongcheng No. 1 Middle School. I'll go check on him sometime.
Thinking this, he picked up the phone and dialed the army again, leaving his information: "Tell Ruan Shengpeng that if you want to find his wife and children, call me!"
The young soldier had become almost immune to the name Ruan Shengpeng lately, and mechanically nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will definitely pass it on!"
The young soldier was about to write this down, but the phone rang again. He heard Ruan's mother's voice again. Even soldiers are flesh and blood.
He had to react to Ruan's mother's voice, and Ruan's mother didn't care who was on the phone and launched into another barrage of questions. By the time the young soldier finished dealing with Ruan's mother, he had forgotten all the previous requests on the phone.
Pan Jun carefully studied the information he had found, and the more he read, the more he cursed Ruan Shengpeng in his heart. If he couldn't protect her, what was the point of marrying her?
She came to this county so early, and actually worked as a peasant woman in the Houshan brigade for over ten years! How could such a frail person endure that?
Fortunately, we are now cooperating with the military, so all I need to do every day is housework and grind medicine powder!
The next time people came to pick up the medicine, it was three people instead of two. Yao Yanxin was busy preparing the medicine and also preparing food for the two soldiers.
She didn't even notice Pan Jun's bright eyes. More than ten years of rural life had made Yao Yanxin lose confidence in herself. Even if she had seen them, she wouldn't have thought much of it.
Coupled with her husband's betrayal, she almost denied herself and closed her heart!
When Pan Jun saw that Yao Yanxin finally had a chance to stop, he called out, "Sister-in-law!"
These words made Yao Yanxin's heart tremble. She looked up at Pan Jun, her gaze meeting his empty stare into the distance. After a moment, she shook her head.
"Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. I've been divorced! I have nothing to do with Ruan Shengpeng anymore!"
It's over? Really? Pan Jun felt a surge of heat coursing through his heart. Could he possibly have a relationship with her?
Just then, Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu walked in, and Yao Yanxin immediately exclaimed with delight, "You're back? Xu'er went to class today and kept nagging about why you weren't back yet!"
It's said that you shouldn't talk about people during the day or ghosts at night. As soon as Yao Yanxin finished speaking, Yao Tongxu's voice rang out: "Sister, Brother Xiao, you're lying! You said you'd be back in a few days, but it's been ten days!"
Yao Tongjia quickly took out a gift to coax him: "It was our fault, but that waterwheel still needs to be adjusted, we need to see how it goes, and we also need to teach others how to make it, so it will take a long time!"
Yao Tongxu took the gift without even looking at it: "Every time they try to fool me with gifts, they think I like them!"
"Give me the gift!"
"How could I possibly take back something I've already given away? I'm not giving it back to you!"
"No way! The gift I gave out didn't achieve the effect I wanted, so of course I have to take it back! You come back here!"
The two started chasing each other, and Yao Yanxin laughed: "You two monkeys, you're so big and you're still playing around, aren't you ashamed!"
Pan Jun watched this scene with some envy. He was middle-aged, but because he had always been busy, he hadn't even gotten married. Now, he saw the courtyard become lively because of the three children coming in.
Maybe he should get married!
