Sun Chan panicked, just last night she was so exhausted that she felt like she was falling apart, and if it happened again, could she even get up? She began to struggle, but Gu Junming hugged her tightly and patted her back; "I was just joking. Look at how scared you are."
"Hmm, don’t scare me like that, you’re like a wolf."
Gu Junming laughed heartily, then said: "Let’s stay here for a few days, and then we’ll move. We have to return this house to the owner, and my sister has also found a place."
Wang Shufen found a house near Guihua’s inn, although it’s a bungalow, it is quite spacious, perfect for storing fruits, and very comfortable for two people to live in.
Gu Junming didn’t stop her, just let her leave.
Sun Chan, while washing dishes, said; "When will we find a partner for big sister? It’s quite tough for her being alone."
"Hmm, I’ve found someone suitable for big sister, when I have time, I’ll bring him over to meet her."
"Really?" Sun Chan was quite surprised: "What does he do?"
"He’s a cook in the military. But he’s quite honest. He’s forty years old, has a daughter who studies out of town, and his wife passed away two years ago, so he hasn’t been looking since then. My big sister isn’t suited to find someone too clever or from an overly good family background."
Sun Chan nodded, thinking Wang Shufen is an honest person, so it’s better to find someone equally honest. The family shouldn’t be too complicated, nor should there be many children, though he’s a bit older, he seems quite suitable for her.
"You, just like my sister, are both timid. When we move back home, don’t be afraid."
Sun Chan nodded, feeling a bit nervous inside; "I... I’m not very good at social interactions. If I don’t get along well with the military wives, what should I do?" Now it’s summer vacation, and Sun Chan doesn’t have to go to school, so moving back is the most normal thing to do. But the thought of mingling with those women makes her feel a bit anxious.
Gu Junming patted her shoulder; "It’s okay, you’re doing just fine."
Sun Chan understood her own personality well, she wasn’t very good with words, people around her, like Han Dong, Guihua, and Yang Liu, were all eloquent, so her shortcoming wasn’t too noticeable. But if she were thrown into a completely unfamiliar environment, she truly wouldn’t know what to do.
Gu Junming smiled and said: "Just do what you normally do, everyone’s living their own lives, they aren’t your elders, what are you worried about? Worst case, just keep your distance, don’t be afraid of offending anyone, I’ll be here with you." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
Sun Chan smiled: "Got it, I’ll adapt."
Actually, there’s also Sister Guihua, who should find a partner, too, she’s a bit younger than Wang Shufen, but Guihua isn’t interested in such things. She herself loves to travel everywhere, now that she’s gained some freedom, why would she want to get married and tie herself down? So nobody mentions it.
Sun Chan asked: "By the way, has no one been injured?"
Gu Junming’s expression turned serious: "A total of fourteen soldiers were injured, one severely, still in the hospital, but at least no lives were lost, which is quite a relief." Speaking of this, Gu Junming got angry, as Liu Gang risked the soldiers’ safety to gain credit, making the entire team run in the water for twenty hours, and in the end, they all had to jump into the water.
When the superiors came, Liu Gang kept bragging about how hard they worked, trying to stage a sympathy act? What a despicable person! But Gu Junming didn’t tell Sun Chan any of this.
Sun Chan said: "It’s good that no one sacrificed their lives. I hope the disaster can also be brought under control." Compared to the flood she heard about in her past life, the losses are much smaller.
Gu Junming hummed in agreement, then held her and said: "Did you know, Yan Kai has someone he likes now."
"Really, who?" Sun Chan asked curiously: "Is she pretty?"
"Hmm, you don’t know her, but she’s a good girl. Looks... should be good, I guess." Gu Junming hadn’t really paid attention to her appearance.
"Achoo!" Yan Kai sneezed, who’s talking about me?
He was standing outside the building of the military newspaper when he looked up and saw Qian Xiaoshuang coming out, dressed in a neat, tidy uniform, her whole aura changed, with a scholarly air.
He hurried over, standing tall, really looking quite spirited.
Qian Xiaoshuang saw Yan Kai coming, bit her lip, and said: "What do you want?"
"I’m Yan Kai, do you remember?" Yan Kai said.
"Just say what you want straight away?"
Yan Kai said: "I want to marry you. I’ve found out, you don’t have a boyfriend, you’re newly assigned."
Qian Xiaoshuang’s face changed, she glanced around nervously, hoping no one would overhear, but with such commotion, and his loud voice, where could people not hear? Everyone was smiling and watching, even passersby stopped.
Qian Xiaoshuang grabbed Yan Kai: "Stop blabbering, let’s go, don’t cause trouble for me here!"
"I don’t want to marry you. You look down on women, I can’t stand you!" Actually, after spending time side by side in assignments, she found Yan Kai to be quite decent, but... to get married just like that?
Yan Kai hurriedly saluted and said; "It was my mistake back then, I solemnly apologize to you! Your performance left me sincerely impressed! Please give me a chance, I’m currently a battalion-level officer, my monthly salary is a hundred and eighty yuan, I’ll give it all to you, plus additional allowances..."
"Shut up!" Qian Xiaoshuang was mortified, lowered her voice and said; "You leave right now, or I won’t be polite."
Yan Kai showed a heartbroken expression: "Are you really so unkind to me?"
People around were saying; "Come on, Xiaoshuang, he’s quite a good person, don’t be like that."
"That’s right, didn’t you say growing up you wanted to marry a soldier? This guy is great, handsome too, with a high rank."
Everyone laughed and jeered, Qian Xiaoshuang’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt.
Yan Kai said; "Sorry, I was rude." After saying that, he suddenly hugged Qian Xiaoshuang.
Everyone cheered, and then Yan Kai was chased away by the furious Qian Xiaoshuang.
Before Yan Kai left he said: "I definitely want to marry you, don’t reject me!"
Qian Xiaoshuang glared in anger, feeling very embarrassed. Is this guy just causing trouble for no reason? It’s utterly reprehensible! Making me lose face. I’ll ignore him! Humph!
Who could’ve guessed, once she got home, Mr. Qian already knew about it, initially quite unhappy, thinking some punk was pestering my daughter at work? But upon hearing Yan Kai was pursuing her, he immediately laughed: "Good! Very good, I’ve known his father for years, he’s a good kid, finally found someone suitable for you, haha!"
Qian Xiaoshuang helplessly said: "Dad, are you so eager to marry me off?"
"What do you know? Yan Kai is very nice, his family background is good, a nice young man, let’s set it for National Day!"
Qian Xiaoshuang was dumbfounded, I don’t even know him, and you want me to get married?
