Chapter 54: New Life
In the guesthouse, Yuan Lingling flipped through the two books with some curiosity.
There is a word "Xin" written on the title page of the book.
"Is it really okay if we accept this?" Yuan Lingling might have paranoia. She always felt that the two people were too enthusiastic towards her and Shen Caisheng, even though they didn't talk much.
Chen Caisheng didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and said, "It's okay, they are all practical books, maybe they gave them to you because they saw that you are really interested in them, if you don't want them, just give them to me."
"It's not that I don't want to. Don't you think their attitude towards us is strange?"
Shen Caisheng hugged her gently, “That aunt has been staring at you.”
"Yes, and the way she looked at me, how can I put it..."
The two were silent.
In fact, Shen Caisheng also felt it was a little strange, but he didn't want Yuan Lingling to worry, so he wanted her to let the matter go. However, Yuan Lingling was much more sensitive than he imagined.
So he said, "It's like looking at another person."
After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out, so they had to give up.
"Hurry up, get some sleep, I'll take you out for something delicious later." Shen Caisheng advised her.
Yuan Lingling's eyes lit up, "Have you been here?"
Shen Caisheng nodded, "I came here once before on a mission. There is a kind of fish here called wooden barrel fish. Stones that conduct heat very quickly are added to the wood. The cooked fish is poured in. It is spicy and hot, and tastes especially good."
It was rare to hear Shen Caisheng say so much about the food, Yuan Lingling said flatteringly: "Then I will definitely eat as much as I can later."
"No, restrain yourself. I can cook for you later." Shen Caisheng seemed to think he was being too serious. He added, "Eating too much is bad for your health."
"knew."
Just as Shen Caisheng said, the taste of the fish in the wooden barrel was indeed very good, but the fish with green pepper flavor was not as spicy as Yuan Lingling imagined. Shen Caisheng was worried that she would eat too much spicy food, so he kept pouring tea for her.
Yuan Lingling felt relaxed after eating something new.

The next morning, near a certain residential compound.
Several women bought some vegetables and walked back together, each carrying something in their hands.
"I heard that the new Captain Shen arrived today. He is said to be young and promising. He came from Beijing."
In fact, many of the men in their group came from Beijing, but none of them knew who the sudden parachuted Captain Shen was.
Although this place is remote, those who are chosen to carry out secret missions in this base are elites selected from all over the place. How many people are eyeing the position of company commander, and it was suddenly given to an unknown person who came from nowhere. Many people are unhappy.
The first among them was Deputy Company Commander Qi of the Second Regiment, who was also the one with the highest support.
He was originally selected here because of his meritorious service and thought he would be promoted, but he did not expect a leader to suddenly appear here.
"Just come. Do you want to hold a welcoming ceremony for us?" The speaker was Deputy Company Commander Qi's lover. Her surname was Qian and her given name was Jiao. Everyone called her Xiao Qian.
Everyone looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, and stopped talking.
Even if these people have some opinions, they are just a little bit, which is different from this small amount of money.
Before the quota was decided, this little Qian was so proud of herself that she treated everyone to meals from time to time and behaved very generously. Even when someone flattered her and said that she was Captain Qi's lover, she did not refuse. Now even her fear was swollen.
Seeing that no one was talking, she said with a desperate look, "I won't forget what you said to me a few days ago. Now that I'm here, if you want to curry favor with me, don't be too funny."
"What do you mean?" Everyone was not stupid, how could they not understand what she meant? This was a threat.
In the first few days after the news was released, everyone had more or less cursed Yuan Lingling and the other person, even though they didn't know each other at all.
But gradually they all understood that this kind of thing could not be changed by just a few words of scolding.
No matter who they are, their coming here is arranged by their superiors, and they can only follow the arrangements.
But now Xiao Qian actually said this, isn’t this forcing them to take sides?
Normally, it’s not a big deal for everyone to just talk and joke around, but if the men knew about this, who knows how angry they would be.
But Xiao Qian didn't care about that and snorted coldly: "I didn't say anything, just take what you think." After that, he left angrily.
The rest of the people looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, someone said, "I think it was Xiao Qi who spoiled her. There is no one in the entire family compound who spoils his wife as much as Xiao Qi."
"That's right. I thought everyone would spoil her. Then I'll be with the new company commander's lover. What's wrong with that?"
Yuan Lingling knew nothing about the minor frictions that occurred in the family compound. She was actually quite worried about Shen Caisheng's situation in this place. No matter what era it is, it is never easy to be an airborne leader.
But at the same time, she trusted Shen Caisheng very much. During the time she spent with Shen Caisheng, everything he had experienced made Yuan Lingling feel at ease.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the town. Although they had been on the train for half a day, they both looked in good spirits after resting after getting off the train.
As soon as I got off the car, a dark-skinned young man in military uniform came up to me, "Boss."
"This is my sister-in-law, hello. I'm Zhou Kun. You can just call me Xiao Zhou."
The young man looked energetic, with a mouth full of white teeth showing, and he looked quite friendly.
Yuan Lingling quickly greeted the other party, "Hello, I'm Yuan Lingling."
As soon as she smiled, the other party immediately felt embarrassed, scratched his head, and hurried to take their luggage.
"All the things you sent earlier have been delivered to your residence. Let's go and pack them first. Su Tuan said that we can go to his house for dinner tonight and he will personally welcome you."
Yuan Lingling had heard Shen Caisheng introduce this Su Tuan.
He is Shen Caisheng's direct leader, named Su Cewen. It was he who spotted Shen Caisheng in Jing City and took Shen Caisheng to be his assistant. Later, he invited Shen Caisheng to join the secret force and gave Shen Caisheng special training. He is considered Shen Caisheng's guide.
It was this Su Tuan who asked Shen Caisheng to follow him to this place.
It has been more than half a year since the other party was transferred here from Beijing. During this period, he has almost established a firm foothold here, so Shen Caisheng's situation here may not be too bad.
"Chen Caisheng doesn't talk much, and Zhou Kun seems to have gotten used to it. He chats with Yuan Lingling from time to time. After getting in the car, she shut up and drove quietly. She looked much more reliable when driving seriously than before.
It takes more than half an hour to drive from the town to the family compound. The road is still a dirt road. Although it is relatively flat, it still looks very rural. There are high mountains on both sides of the road, and what they see on both sides are green trees.
The weather is already a bit hot, but there is still a slight coolness in the mountains and forests.
Yuan Lingling looked at the scenery outside the car and was already looking forward to the days to come.
She likes places with beautiful scenery.

Just as Yuan Lingling was about to start her new life, some people living near the Jingshi Brewery were not having such a good time.
In the afternoon, Yuan Qiang asked Old Lady Yuan to kill a chicken and cook some delicious food, preparing to celebrate well.
He had long disliked Shen Caisheng, and that wild girl Yuan Lingling was a premature baby. Yuan Qiang never thought of her as his own daughter.
In the past, when Feng Ling was alive, he protected him with all his might and there was nothing he could do. Later, Feng Ling died and the other party was well-behaved, so he didn't bother to care.
But now, a bastard has risen above his head and even dared to steal things from his house. They need to have the courage to take them.
"What good news is going on today? This old hen lays eggs for our family." Seeing her son happy, Old Mrs. Yuan finally felt happy too.
But when I think about it, what good things can happen recently?
Their grandson ran away and the money is gone. What is there for them to be happy about?
Yuan Qiang smiled and poured a glass of white wine for his mother. "Of course it's a good thing. You will know it soon."
But Old Mrs. Yuan couldn't laugh at all. She really couldn't think of anything good that could happen.
According to her, she should go and find her grandson now. It makes no sense why she asked him to go out on his own. He is just a child and has never suffered much. How can he endure going out into the world?
"I'm really worried about Zili going out alone, why don't we go look for him..."
"Mom, don't talk about that brat."
"After all, he is your son and the grandson of our Yuan family." Old Mrs. Yuan said as she kicked the old man who was just eating nearby.
Old man Yuan frowned in pain and said, "What are you doing? Young people should go out and explore more. What's the point of staying at home all day? Besides, he wants to leave on his own. What can we do?"
"What can we do? Is he our Yuan family's child? Is he your grandson? What if something happens outside? None of you have any conscience."
"If he's gone, we can just have another one. Does our Yuan family need a little kid like him?"
Yuan Qiang roared, shocking the two old men in the room, but this was far from enough to offset their shock.
Over the years, they have advised Yuan Qiang to remarry countless times, but Yuan Qiang refused to do so. Although he likes to have fun, the dead person still holds a different weight in his heart.
Now she actually took the initiative to say that she wanted to remarry and have a son. How could this not excite the two elders?
"Okay, okay, mom will go ask around tomorrow to see if there are any suitable girls. My son is so good, there must be many girls willing to marry him. I have to choose carefully."
Seeing Old Lady Yuan like this, Yuan Qiang frowned. With such an old mother like this, how could he find a good wife?
"Don't make a big fuss about it. Just find a suitable girl who is willing to live a good life."
How could Old Mrs. Yuan guess what Yuan Qiang was thinking now? She had already been overwhelmed by the news that Yuan Qiang was willing to remarry, so naturally she would do whatever her beloved son said.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely find someone to live a good life with, and give birth to a big fat boy for our Yuan family in the future!" As for Yuan Zili, she had already forgotten about him at this moment.
Thinking of the big fat boy, the whole family was very happy.
Just when the three of them were eating and drinking happily, there were knocks on the door.
"Is this Yuan Qiang's home? Is Yuan Qiang here?"
