After rescuing the person, Lu Ze handed them over to his fellow villager and calmly arranged the follow-up work.
While he was speaking, Wan Xiaozhen stood quietly to the side, gazing intently at Lu Ze.
Among all the soldiers, he was the most dazzling, and everyone followed his lead and listened to his calm and composed commands.
His handsome face, deep and magnetic voice, tall and slender stature, and the refined manners he exuded all indicated that he was a man of high rank and from a privileged family background.
It perfectly matched all of Wan Xiaozhen's imagination of her future partner.
After giving instructions on the follow-up work, Lu Ze rushed off to his next destination without stopping.
He was incredibly fast, and by the time Wan Xiaozhen reacted and caught up, she could only see his back.
They disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Where are they? Where did they go?"
Fearing she might never see Lu Ze again, Wan Xiaozhen anxiously grabbed one of the soldiers, "Comrade, do you know the name of the officer who was rescuing people around here just now?"
The soldier thought for a moment and replied, "The officer in charge of rescuing this production team is Battalion Commander Song Yiming of the Third Regiment."
It turned out to be the battalion commander.
Wan Xiaozhen was secretly delighted. Seeing the soldier about to leave, she quickly grabbed him and asked, "Is Battalion Commander Song married?"
The soldier said, "Battalion Commander Song doesn't even have a girlfriend, how could he possibly get married? Comrade, I really have something to do, I'm sorry."
After saying that, the young soldier hurriedly left.
Wan Xiaozhen repeated Song Yiming's name several times, a shy blush on her face.
So young and already a battalion commander, he's much better than Yu Yao, that old rural man from the countryside in Guangdong province.
God has been so kind to her.
Because Wan Xiaozhen hadn't returned, Wang Xiahe was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As soon as the typhoon stopped, she dragged Yu Defu along to look for her.
Seeing Wan Xiaozhen, Wang Xiahe felt extremely distressed. "My dear daughter, you've been wronged."
Wan Xiaozhen said shyly, "Mom, I'm not wronged."
Wang Xiahe had never seen her look so shy before, so she quickly asked what was wrong.
Wan Xiaozhen then told her mother the whole story of how she met Lu Ze.
After hearing her words, Wang Xiahe knew exactly what she was thinking. She patted her hand and said with a smile, "Our Xiaozhen is also at the age where she's just starting to fall in love. Leave this to your mother. I guarantee you'll meet him soon."
Wan Xiaozhen felt embarrassed, stomped her foot, and said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I don't have any."
As the mother and daughter were talking, Yu Defu's gaze fell on a figure busy cooking nearby, and he paused for a moment.
Wang Xiahe comforted her daughter and asked her what he was looking at.
Knowing that Wang Xiahe didn't like him mentioning people from the past, Yu Defu shook his head. "It's nothing."
Wan Xiaozhen had never liked her stepfather who had taken her mother away to remarry. Thinking of Lu Ze, she urged again, "Mom, go and talk to the matchmaker for me."
If the other party is willing to take a look, the deal is 80% done.
She couldn't wait to see Yu Yao's expression when she found out she had married a battalion commander; it would definitely be hilarious.
As they spoke, they didn't hide the fact that Song Yingdi was standing to the side.
She recognized Lu Ze the moment she saw him, and knew that he was a regimental commander and that his lover was the one who sent her mother, Wan Guihua, to prison.
Not long after her mother, Wan Guihua, was taken away, her father, Song Guoqiang, divorced Wan Guihua. Soon after, the Song family introduced a woman to her father.
After her stepmother entered the family, she suffered a lot of mistreatment and was even ridiculed by Wan Xiaozhen. She was jealous that Wang Xiahe was still good to Wan Xiaozhen even after getting married.
In addition, wanting to get revenge on Yu Yao and the others, she remained silent when Wan Xiaozhen asked Wang Xiahe to go to the matchmaker to arrange a marriage.
When Song Yingdi returned to her aunt's house, she was still a little scared, afraid that Wan Xiaozhen would cause trouble for her if she found out, so she went to Wan Xiaozhen's room.
Wan Xiaozhen was holding up clothes in front of the mirror when Song Yingdi came in. "Yingdi, can you take a look and tell me how this dress looks on me on the day of the wedding? Does it look good?"
“Cousin,” Song Yingdi said, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes as she saw the dress Wan Xiaozhen was wearing, “Actually, I’ve met the man who saved us today. He’s already married. His wife is a woman from a production team in Qin Province. It was an arranged marriage.”
Song Yingdi didn't mention Lu Ze and Yu Yao's identities at all, avoiding the important points and seemingly speaking about them, but in fact, she was leading people astray at every turn.
"What? You said he's married?" Wan Xiaozhen's face turned deathly pale, and she kept muttering, "How could he get married? He's married, what am I going to do?"
Wan Xiaozhen couldn't accept it. Thinking of something, she grabbed Song Yingdi like a drowning person grasping at a straw and hurriedly asked, "You said his lover is just a village girl, or it was an arranged marriage?"
Song Yingdi nodded.
Although Wan Xiaozhen was heartbroken, the thought that the other party's wife was just an illiterate village girl rekindled her hope.
He's already a battalion commander; how could a country bumpkin's wife be worthy of him?
Wan Xiaozhen was confident in her appearance. On the vast island, apart from Yu Yao, she had never seen a woman who was prettier than herself.
She was young and beautiful, and a worker in a state-owned factory. As long as the other party knew her feelings, why would he not want to divorce his wife and marry her?
Yu Yao was unaware that Wan Xiaozhen had already set her sights on Lu Ze and even planned to have Lu Ze divorce her.
Right now, he and his sister-in-law Sun Yu are sitting in a Jiefang brand truck, rubbing each other's arms.
After cooking a whole day of large-pot meals, both of their arms felt like they didn't belong to them anymore.
While massaging her, Sun Yu exclaimed, "How do you take care of your skin? You've been on the island for so long, but you haven't gotten tanned at all. Your skin is even smoother and more delicate. Do you have some skincare secrets?"
"If I had to pinpoint the secret, it would probably be that I always cover myself up completely when I go out. I also apply face cream and friendship cream every day, not just on my face."
"No wonder your skin is so good. Even I, a woman, can't resist. Your Commander Lu must love your skin to death."
Yu Yao paused.
Why did they start driving without warning?
Fortunately, there was no one else on the truck returning to the city besides the two of them.
Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Sun Yu seemed to get excited, looking at her with an ambiguous expression: "I have some good stuff. Didn't you say today that you were about to get your period and your stomach has been uncomfortable lately? Take this stuff back and drink some before bed. I guarantee you'll be full of energy."
Sun Yu's sister-in-law's family has a long tradition of Yao medicine, and they have many traditional prescriptions passed down to them. Yu Yao had heard Song Yufeng's sister-in-law mention them before.
Upon hearing about this medicine, Yu Yao, thinking of Lu Ze's condition, asked, "Sister-in-law Sun, can both men and women take this?"
Sun Yu seemed to understand something and said, "This stuff is only for women to eat, your Commander Lu can't eat it. I also have a kind for men."
"But Commander Lu already goes seven times a night and can barely walk without needing to eat this, right?"
