At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, but it was not snowing anymore.
Ruan Mingfu opened her eyes dazedly and met a pair of bloodshot eyes. She was startled, but only breathed a sigh of relief after she saw the person in front of her clearly in the morning light.
"...You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Xie Yanzhao moved his stiff body, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and nodded.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Neuropathy!
"You..." Seeing the bastard man like this, Ruan Mingfu didn't know what to say, "It's still early, lie down and rest for a while."
She was really afraid that the man would die suddenly.
He turned his head and looked at the time on his watch.
"No, you have a good rest, I'll go prepare breakfast for you."
After saying that, Xie Yanzhao turned around and got off the bed, without even giving Ruan Mingfu a chance to refuse.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She couldn't sleep any more, so she got up as well.
Today, the emperor eats noodles.
Ruan Mingfu picked up the malted milk, but was stopped by Xie Yanzhao. He reached out to take the cup, and only helped her bring it after confirming that it was not hot.
She took a sip and put it aside. Just as she was about to pick up an egg, she was stopped by the dog man.
"I'll do it."
Xie Yanzhao picked up the egg, peeled it and put it in her bowl.
"Old Xie, there's something wrong with you!"
Ruan Mingfu looked at the eggs in the bowl and looked at him with an indescribable expression.
"I'm just pregnant, not a fragile doll," she frowned, "You don't have to take care of me like this."
It also put a lot of pressure on her.
Xie Yanzhao: "You don't like it?"
"Well," she rolled her eyes at Xie Yanzhao, "What do you think?"
He nodded very much.
“Then I won’t do that.”
Ruan Mingfu exhaled slowly.
While the two were eating, the dazzling sun rose up, shining straight in through the window, just covering her body, as if Ruan Mingfu was also coated with a layer of golden light.
"There's sunshine," she said. The heavy snow for several consecutive days made her feel depressed. "Then the snow in the yard should melt, right?"
Xie Yanzhao handed her the malted milk and said, "No, and it will snow heavily tomorrow."
"Again?"
After staying here for a few days, Ruan Mingfu went from being curious at first to being bored.
The dazzling sunlight shining on the snow, refracting a stronger light, brightened Ruan Mingfu's mood.
She sat on the chair, watching Xie Yanzhao clean up all the dishes and chopsticks, and told him what Hu Wanning had said yesterday.
Xie Yanzhao paused, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"I see."
Ruan Mingfu:……? ?
"I'll make a phone call later to see if I can ask Aunt Zhang to come over and look after you."
Zhang Ma?!
Oh, that’s right, she actually forgot about Aunt Zhang.
Ruan Mingfu's eyes lit up, "To the outside world, I will say that Aunt Zhang is our relative."
There was no other way. Ms. Luan had to take care of Mr. Ruan, not to mention Xie Yanzhao. She could only place her hopes on Aunt Zhang.
Xie Yanzhao nodded slightly.
"By the way, when you call, please inform Lao Ruan as well," Ruan Mingfu said with a little pride in her heart, "If I don't inform him in time, Lao Ruan will be angry with me. Oh, and my brother... forget about him."
If you calculate carefully, more than half a month has passed since Qi Yangyan left, and I don't know how the situation is over there.
But it's not easy for her to contact him here.
Ruan Mingfu was not worried. Her brother was very cunning and no one could outsmart him.
"You're not leaving yet?"
She looked at Xie Yanzhao who was busy with work, picked up the watch on the table and took a look. It was already eight o'clock, and the man would have disappeared at this time.
This is... the troops are not busy anymore?
"This is filled with boiling water. Pour it out and let it air dry before drinking." Xie Yanzhao brought over a thermos bottle. He felt it was unsafe to put it anywhere. He thought for a moment and said, "It's a little hot... Never mind. I'll pour it in a cup and let it air dry first."
He came back at noon, and the room is very hot, so it shouldn't get cold so quickly.
But he was still a little worried, "...don't drink it if it's cold."
"I've put away all the needles and thread, and I've locked the storage room," he brought several books from somewhere, "I can read when I'm bored, and I can also bask in the sun here... It's cold outside, and..."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She is an adult, not three years old.
Seeing that Xie Yanzhao was about to continue nagging, Ruan Mingfu pushed him out of the door.
"I will take good care of myself, you can leave now," she stuffed her coat into Xie Yanzhao's arms and closed the door as he hesitated to speak. "It's embarrassing for a regiment commander to be late."
Ruan Mingfu leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
...becoming so fussy!
She has a headache when the dog man is quiet, and she has an even worse headache when he nags her.
Xie Yanzhao looked at the closed door in front of him, shook his head and laughed. He stood there for a while, then put on his clothes and stepped across the yard. In order to prevent Ruan Mingfu from falling, he specially cleared the snow inside.
After he made two phone calls, he rushed to the troops.
When passing by the shooting range, he happened to see Captain Wang training new soldiers. Just as Xie Yanzhao was about to leave, he was stopped.
"Captain!" Captain Wang hurried over and lowered his voice, "I was just telling those soldiers that you can score ten rings every time, but they still refused to stop. Old Xie, for my sake, can you show them some of your skills?"
Battalion Commander Wang and Li Xianglan are husband and wife. Wang became the battalion commander because of his young age and drive.
Of course, he was also the one least afraid of Xie Yanzhao.
No one else would dare to make this request.
Xie Yanzhao turned his head and looked at Captain Wang, then took the gun from his hand.
Captain Wang's eyes lit up.
"Old Xie, you are so loyal!" He looked at the group of soldiers with a smug look on his face, and said proudly, "You are lucky. Today I will let you see how powerful our military district's soldier king is!"
Those recruits, with clear stupidity in their eyes, curled their lips at Xie Yanzhao.
King of Soldiers, that’s it?
Before the new recruit could even mock, he heard a few snaps and it was over.
They looked at the target, then looked at Xie Yanzhao who seemed to be standing casually, with fanatical lights flashing in their eyes.
"Fuck! So strong."
"The gun is right in the middle... Is this guy still a human?"
"Quick! Pinch me and see if I am dreaming."
“…”
Captain Wang: ...
I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He cleared his throat, hoping to quiet everyone down. But the new recruits were not quiet at all, and started talking at once. One of them was sharp-eyed and pointed at Xie Yanzhao and said:
"Fuck! He is the legendary Captain Xie."
"Damn! It turned out to be him. No wonder he is so strong."
"He is indeed the strongest man in the entire team..."
If these people had not been trained and knew to abide by military discipline and regulations, they would have rushed forward and surrounded Xie Yanzhao.
Their eyes sparkled, "Captain Xie, can you teach us how to shoot?"
"that is……"
"Go, go, go away," Captain Wang glared at the group of arrogant soldiers, "Do you know how busy Captain Xie is?"
He knew Xie Yanzhao's temper.
Captain Wang risked being beaten when he made that request, but he didn't expect these people to be braver than him.
"good."
Xie Yanzhao agreed and walked towards them with a gun.
Captain Wang: “…”
Confused and at a loss as to what to do.
In his impression, was Xie Yanzhao such an easy-going person?
Before Captain Wang could investigate further, he heard the group of new recruits exclaiming in surprise. He gritted his teeth and squeezed through as well.
Lao Xie's target shooting skills are unmatched, and he wants to learn too!
Next was Xie Yanzhao's personal show. He subdued the group of unruly kids, and in the end they kept calling him "Brother Xie". His eyes sparkled as if he was looking at an idol.
He was very patient and explained various techniques to them. Not to mention the group of new recruits who had just touched the gun, even the old veteran Captain Wang was fascinated by what he said.
"...Okay, I'll stop here and leave the rest to your coach."
"Thank you, brother!"
Xie Yanzhao looked at the group of people, curled his lips slightly and then left.
The soldier was so excited:
"Who said Brother Xie is cold and aloof? He's actually very approachable. And what do you mean by fierce... that's called manliness!"
"That's right, Brother Xie is so amazing. I couldn't understand this move at all, but as soon as he explained it, I understood it."
"I have done this wrong many times, and Brother Xie has a very good temper and helped me correct it."
"And this..."
Captain Wang stood aside, wiping his face. Thinking of how he was assigned to work under Xie Yanzhao right after entering the barracks, and how he was scolded... He couldn't help but look up and stare at the bright sun.
Doesn’t the sun rise from the west?
Xie Yanzhao was walking along and happened to see Xu Zhu coming out with something.
"Old Xie, you're finally here. I thought you had asked for leave. Come on, come on, I have a document for you to look at."
"Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"
He slapped away Xu Zhu's hand that was on his clothes.
"Oh, there's no time. Come with me."
Xu Zhu was obviously very anxious and pulled him over.
Xie Yanzhao glanced at the document and frowned slightly, but he still patiently read all the content.
"When will the factory recruit workers? Will you come to me?"
This is clearly the responsibility of the logistics department. Besides, the wives of soldiers in the family compound are not his responsibility.
"Well, how would I know?" Xu Zhu took a sip of water. "Early this morning, the logistics department brought the list to me and kept urging me to do it."
He also felt very wronged.
Xie Yanzhao put the documents away and said, "I'll go find them."
"Hey, wait a minute," Xu Zhu pulled him over, no longer anxious as before, and even had time to tease Xie Yanzhao, "I heard that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"
"Um."
When talking about this, Xie Yanzhao's eyes were filled with tenderness.
Xu Zhu looked at him like this and clicked his tongue twice.
Is this the childhood friend he has known since childhood?
"Congratulations, I want to be his godfather when the baby is born!"
Xie Yanzhao glanced at him, "You?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and left.
Xu Zhu: “…”
Ah... no, what does he mean?
Xu Zhu stared at Xie Yanzhao's back as he walked away, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
This bastard!
If he hadn't put in so much effort, it's not certain whether Xie Yanzhao and Ruan Mingfu would be able to succeed. Now...he's just starting to get rid of the donkey?
If the person hadn't left, he would have had to find this bastard and have a good argument with him.
…
In the hospital, He Cuixiang was lying on the bed, her face still pale. She touched her belly and frowned.
She was younger than Li Xianglan, and her belly had just begun to curve. He Cuilan felt sad. If she hadn't been careless, she wouldn't have lost the baby, and Wu Gang would have had to run back and forth between the military hospital.
She sighed, turned around and saw her biological mother walking in. Before she could be surprised, her face immediately fell when she saw the person behind her biological mother.
