"Xiao Xiao...you must protect such a good girl."
Zhang's sister-in-law glanced at the group of gossipy women beside her, and Xiao Yuheng immediately understood that his sister-in-law must have overheard something those older women were saying.
"That's for sure, I will never let anyone bully my wife."
Seeing the young couple beaming with joy, Aunt Zhang felt a pang of sadness. "Alright, alright, hurry back and get ready. Come visit me sometime, Xiao Gu."
Gu An'an continued to nod obediently. It was her first time making an appearance, so pretending was acceptable.
As for the onlookers, she greeted Xiao Yuheng when he greeted them, maintaining a compliant and supportive attitude towards her husband.
The family compound is quite large. Their house is a small courtyard that was built a few years ago. It has two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. It's quite spacious for just the two of them.
Do you like it?
Gu An'an nodded, "Very good."
It's a pity she has to go back in the spring, otherwise she could grow something in this yard.
Xiao Liu followed behind carrying the luggage, not forgetting to speak well of their regimental leader, "Knowing that his wife was coming, the regimental leader called yesterday to tell us to clean up the mess."
It wasn't to take credit for myself, but mainly to highlight the commander's care for his wife.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly prestigious status of soldiers; only they themselves know the hardships involved.
"Thank you. Your commander will invite you over for dinner in a while."
We should have tidied up and then treated everyone to a meal, but Xiao Yuheng had to go on a mission, so we could only wait until he returned.
"Okay, thank you so much, sister-in-law."
After putting down their luggage, Xiao Liu eagerly brought them their food before returning to his dormitory.
"Liu, have you picked up the regimental commander and his wife?"
"Of course."
"How's your sister-in-law? Isn't she pretty?"
Xiao Liu nodded, "It's beautiful! Even more beautiful than the rumors said, and the sister-in-law is very gentle. She said she'd like us to come over for dinner sometime."
Upon hearing this, everyone else became excited.
"Really? Your sister-in-law said so?"
Xiao Liu nodded, "How could I dare to lie to you about something like this? But now there's some bad news."
"What bad news?"
"Extra practice tonight."
"What the deputy regimental commander said?"
Immediately, groans erupted from the dormitory: "Doesn't the deputy regimental commander have to spend time with his wife? Why are they targeting us again?"
Xiao Liu felt a little guilty. He dared not say that he had caused the punishment, otherwise these people would definitely tear him apart.
After the couple finished their meal, Xiao Yuheng looked at the rather simple house and spoke with a guilty tone.
"I have to leave tomorrow. You'll have to work hard at home. If you need anything, just take the supply truck into town to buy it. Don't worry about the money."
Seeing his extravagant and wealthy demeanor, Gu An'an couldn't resist teasing him, "Aren't you afraid I'll spend all your money?"
Xiao Yuheng reached out and brushed the stray hairs behind Gu An'an's ear, "What are you afraid of? What am I going to do with it? It's just to make money for my wife to spend."
It's often said that a man's love lies where his money is.
Gu An'an wasn't short of money, but she was still very satisfied with his attitude.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Xiao Yuheng helped tidy up the quilt and everything, then took out the towels and other things he had prepared beforehand, and poured a bucket of hot water for Gu An'an. "It's not too hot anymore, go in and wash up quickly. I'm going to the troupe first. If I'm not back, go to sleep early."
Gu An'an took her change of clothes and nodded obediently. The man had his own important business to attend to, and Gu An'an certainly wouldn't make a fuss and insist that he accompany her.
"Go ahead! You're already home, what's there to worry about?"
Home, Xiao Yuheng pondered the word, a happy smile always on his lips.
He closed the door tightly before striding back into the regiment.
"Commander, Political Commissar."
Hearing the noise, both of their eyes fell on him. "Is your wife settled in?"
Xiao Yuheng nodded, "Everything is settled."
Next, the three began to discuss the mission, and Xiao Yuheng's expression became more and more serious as he listened.
Are you confident you can complete the mission?
"have!"
Since you've joined the army, how can you say no?
"Good lad, but you also need to remember that you're married now. Be careful when you're on a mission, your wife is waiting for you at home."
Thinking of his wife, his heart softened. "Okay."
Having finally managed to marry his wife, he was determined to bring her back safely and couldn't accept the possibility that she might end up with someone else.
The group chatted for a while longer before finally arriving at the training ground.
As soon as they saw him, everyone immediately became serious and focused, afraid of being caught doing something wrong and having to practice more.
"Deputy Regiment Commander."
How's your training going lately?
The group of boys perked up their ears upon hearing this, fearing that the company commander might say something unfavorable to them.
"Not bad, they were all quite serious."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng immediately realized that those mischievous boys had started acting up again, and he went down to scold them.
After taking a shower, Gu An'an went to bed. The kang (heated brick bed) had been heated in advance and was warm and cozy. She fell asleep within minutes.
When Xiao Yuheng returned, he saw Gu An'an's sweet sleeping face, completely unguarded. He couldn't help but reach out and brush the stray hairs from her forehead.
"You're back?"
Gu An'an looked at the person with drowsy eyes, "Go wash up and go to bed quickly, there's hot water on the stove."
"good."
There was hot water on the stove, and Gu An'an had neatly laid out clothes and towels beside it. For no reason, the corners of her mouth curved up again.
After taking a quick shower, Gu An'an fell asleep again. Xiao Yuheng quietly got into bed, intending to hold her and sleep peacefully.
But the person in his arms was someone he had missed for so long, and he had to leave home again at dawn, so Xiao Yuheng's hands unconsciously started to hurt.
In her dream, Gu An'an felt that someone was causing trouble. Smelling the familiar, comforting scent, she unconsciously began to cooperate.
It was quite a while before things completely calmed down.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Xiao Yuheng began tidying up with great energy, while Gu An'an slept soundly, not even lifting a hand.
After cleaning up, Xiao Yuheng finally felt satisfied and went to sleep with his wife in his arms until dawn.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yuheng got up, packed his things, went to the cafeteria to get breakfast, and then said softly, "I'm leaving now. Wait for me to come back."
Looking at the man in front of her, it was impossible for Gu An'an not to feel reluctant, but this was his job and his mission, so she could only support him.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Then he ran back to his room, pretending to take something from his package, but actually taking something he had prepared beforehand from his spatial storage. "This is for stopping bleeding. Use this if you have any external injuries."
"This is for protection against snakes, insects, rodents, and ants; this is..."
Looking at the bottles in my hand, my heart was filled with joy.
"I bought this from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor when I went to Guangzhou. It works very well. You must use it, and you must come back safely, you hear me?"
