Seeing the little girl's teary eyes, Gu An'an glanced at Xiao Yuheng, who then obediently took out a piece of paper and wrote down an address.
"You can contact us at this address, but our management is very strict; not just anything can be brought in."
Zhou Yuan quickly nodded, "I know, I definitely won't cause trouble for your sister and brother-in-law."
Sister and brother-in-law?
Xiao Yuheng felt so jealous he could hardly contain himself, and he only breathed a sigh of relief when the little girl was taken away by another train police officer.
"Why are you wearing such a stern face! You've scared that young girl."
"Scared? I think you're overthinking it. That girl's heart is with you, how could she be scared by me?"
Hearing the man's slightly resentful tone, Gu An'an just smiled and didn't continue to provoke him. With such a jealous person, it's better to let things cool down than to coax him.
Seeing that his wife wouldn't even try to coax him, Xiao Yuheng was a little disappointed, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper with her. He just worriedly reminded her, "Next time you're out, don't be so impulsive like you were today, understand?"
"I wasn't impulsive. While I was talking to them, I was looking for an opportunity. I definitely wouldn't have made a move if I wasn't confident."
Gu An'an was telling the truth, but Xiao Yuheng was still worried. It was fine when he was around, but what if something unexpected happened when he wasn't?
He's a soldier, so it's his duty to stand up in this kind of situation. But his wife is so young; he just wants her to be okay and safe.
"I know, but next time when I'm not around, please take care of your safety."
Gu An'an really wanted to say that she wasn't that stupid, but seeing the genuine sincerity in the other person's eyes, she obediently nodded, "Okay."
The interaction between the two was observed by those around them, and their nimble movements drew envious glances in their direction.
Women envy Gu An'an, while men envy Xiao Yuheng.
Not only is she good-looking herself, but she also found such a great partner.
Why should I?!
Of course, these were all their inner thoughts, which they dared not reveal, knowing that speaking out would only bring them humiliation.
The rest of the journey was smooth sailing. Gu An'an spent most of the time on Xiao Yuheng's shoulder, and was even fed a few times by the train conductor. Overall, it was a very good experience.
The train slowly arrived at the station. Xiao Yuheng put all the luggage on his own body and carefully helped Gu An'an off the train.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, sister-in-law."
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the station, a young soldier of about eighteen or nineteen years old ran over and took their luggage, not forgetting to glance at Gu An'an a few more times.
Ahhh! It was definitely the right decision for him to risk his life to get this job of picking people up; otherwise, how could he have become the first soldier to see his sister-in-law in person!
Wow! My sister-in-law is so beautiful, more beautiful than any of the other women in the family compound.
No, that's not right! Even the girls in the performing arts troupe aren't as pretty as my sister-in-law.
Seeing the reddened ears of his soldiers, Xiao Yuheng knew exactly what the boy was thinking. "Aren't you leaving? You're waiting to eat here."
The young soldier, kicked by his own commander, chuckled sheepishly as he walked out. "How could that be! Sister-in-law must be tired from the journey! Someone in the regiment has already helped get food for the commander and sister-in-law. Let's hurry back, or it'll get cold."
Gu An'an smiled at them and said, "Then thank you."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Everyone was overjoyed to know you were coming, and many people wanted to come and pick you up, but they couldn't outrun me, I snatched you away."
Despite his shyness, the young man was quite talkative, and he rattled off about their competition, making Gu An'an laugh so hard she almost fell over.
"You guys are really funny."
The longer she stayed in this world, the fainter her memories of the apocalypse became, and the less cold-hearted she became.
Seeing Gu An'an smile, Xiao Yuheng was happy, but he was also a little jealous that he wasn't the one who made his wife laugh.
He couldn't bear to scold his own wife, so he could only discipline his own soldiers.
"It seems the recent training has been quite effective."
Upon hearing his deputy regimental commander's tone, soldier Xiao Liu immediately activated his radar, saying, "It's about the same as before."
It's not that he's a coward, it's just that Xiao Mowang isn't human. He doesn't treat people like human beings at all when he's training them.
"It seems your training hasn't been enough while I was home. You'll have to do extra training tonight."
The young soldier tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but he dared not bargain, for the consequences would be even more severe.
"receive!"
The two people cried out in a tragic manner. For the rest of the journey, Xiao Liu became much more restrained, afraid that he might accidentally offend his petty regimental commander again.
"Stop teasing him."
“I wasn’t teasing him; he was supposed to do extra practice anyway.”
For others, extra training is a punishment, but for soldiers, it's about providing extra safety for themselves and their teammates during missions. So he's just as strict with himself as he is with his soldiers.
Knowing that Xiao Yuheng was telling the truth, Gu An'an didn't say anything more.
As soon as the car pulled up to the entrance of the residential compound, people started looking in our direction.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao is back."
"I heard he's going home to get married this time. I wonder what kind of girl he'll marry."
"I heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao's wife is from the countryside. What good girls can you find in the countryside? I think he's good at leading troops, but his judgment is terrible."
"Oh dear, some people are going to be sad now."
Where there are women, there is bound to be gossip. It's not that everyone has bad intentions, but there are still many gossipy people. As soon as Gu An'an got out of the car with Xiao Yuheng's "help", the group immediately fell silent.
Didn't they say that Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao found a girl from the countryside? Does this girl in front of us look like a country bumpkin?
As the two approached, a woman in her forties spoke up, "Xiao Xiao, is this your sister-in-law?"
Xiao Yuheng smiled and said, "Yes, this is my wife, Gu An'an."
He turned to Gu An'an and said, "This is the sister-in-law of the regimental commander I mentioned to you."
Although Gu An'an doesn't need to rely on others, she will still cherish the support her husband found for her family.
"Sister-in-law, I've heard Ah Heng mention you at home, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."
Everyone loves to hear nice things, especially from pretty young girls.
Excited, Aunt Zhang kept laughing, "Oh? What's the rumored version of me like?"
"Aheng said you are a capable and kind person who takes good care of the soldiers. You and the regimental commander have been a harmonious couple for over twenty years. He told me to learn from you when I have time."
This made Sister Zhang laugh even harder. "Oh my, you really know how to talk!"
