Chapter 66 Don’t you feel sad?
Huo Jingyuan got off his bicycle and stood next to Wen Ci. He raised his eyes slightly and introduced with a lazy smile in his voice:
"This is my love, Wen Ci."
Hearing this, Wen Ci curved his eyebrows, looked at the few people with a gentle smile on his face, and nodded slightly as a greeting to them.
"Then sister-in-law, you have to come to the meeting too."
Wen Ci glanced at Huo Jingyuan in confusion. He had just heard that a meeting was going to be held for the families of newly arrived soldiers. He shouldn't be considered a newcomer, right?
She blinked and asked, "I shouldn't be considered a new family member. Do I have to attend your meeting as well?"
"Yes, all family members must participate."
Wen Ci nodded obediently.
After those people left, Wen Ci glanced at the handsome face of the man and said slowly: "I can't use this car, so you can use it yourself."
"Then I'll pick you up from get off work."
Wen Ci: “…”
This 28-bar bike was probably the first one in the entire Northwest Military Region. If Huo Jingyuan took me to and from get off work, it would definitely become the focus.
Huo Jingyuan saw Wen Ci's rejection expression, raised his long eyebrows, and his deep eyes seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, he said: "If you really don't like it, then I will give this car to the first place winner of Devil Week?"
"Okay." Wen Ci nodded.
The Devil Week is a training to stimulate the soldiers' physical limits, with only punishment but no reward. Giving away this bicycle can stimulate the potential of the soldiers.
"Don't you feel sad?" Huo Jingyuan asked.
Wen Ci licked his lips. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad. It was a 28-inch bicycle, but it was not very useful in the Northwest Military Region. "I don't feel bad."

When Wen Ci arrived at the open space in the family compound, many family members had already gathered around, and several large round tables were filled with melon seeds, biscuits and tea.
Zhu Jing and the others had reserved a seat for Wen Ci. When they saw her coming, they immediately waved, "Sister Wen Ci, here, here, we have reserved a seat for you."
Wen Ci went over and sat down and asked curiously, "What kind of meeting is Sister Jing going to have?"
"I don't know. Notify all the family members of the troops to be in place."
Zhu Jing answered while eating melon seeds. Melon seeds and biscuits are things that ordinary families only buy during the Chinese New Year as New Year's gifts.
Everyone is happy to eat for free.
Xiang Qin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Wen Ci, then asked with a gossipy look on her face, "I just heard that Captain Huo rode a 28-bar bicycle to the family compound?"
"Don't you like it?"
Wen Ci nodded and lowered his voice: "It's too ostentatious. It's only a few minutes' walk in the Northwest Military Region. Why would you need a bicycle?"
"That's true."
Several people were chatting, and in a place with many women, the noise was inevitable. Since they were all military families, they quickly became friends.
"This girl is really pretty."
Suddenly, Wen Ci heard some words praising herself. She kept a stiff smile on her face, and then she felt the gazes of many people.
"Hmm, her skin looks so tender and white. She is obviously a hardworking wife. I don't know which man is so lucky."
Wen Ci: “…”
She was not diligent at all. Most of the cleaning at home was done by Huo Jingyuan. She usually just washed the dishes, and it was Huo Jingyuan who cooked.
The second batch of family members who accompanied the army included several people who were in their fifties or sixties. They took advantage of the completion of the Northwest Military Region’s family compound to come to the Northwest to retire.
Zhu Jing introduced to Wen Ci: "The sister-in-law who just praised you is the wife of the deputy head of the Fifth Regiment, and the one sitting next to her is the wife of the head of the Fifth Regiment."
