After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

With the final step of disaster relief coming to an end, they will return to Beijing with Lord Li to report in two days.

Henan Prefecture has been slowly getting better in recent times, just like the county town where they are staying, shops have slowly opened up and there are pedestrians on the streets.

"Captain Su, you have been of great help during this period!" Lord Li stood on the street and watched the passers-by, with a smile in his eyes.

"This is what I should do. Besides, the elders and the relief officials have done more. I only regret that I am incapable and can only offer this insignificant help."

Su Qinchao bowed to Lord Li, his words full of respect.

"Good, good, good. These are the good men of our Wu Dynasty. With you in the future, Wu Dynasty will definitely be better!" Lord Li clapped his hands and praised.

He saw what Su Qinchao had done to them these days, and he thought that he was indeed a good boy with a pure heart.

However, he didn't know why he became Princess Yucheng's disciple. He heard about this from his staff two days ago.

It's such a pity, otherwise his future would be limitless. This incident destined Captain Su to never be able to truly enter the court.

If I have the chance, I will try my best to help him and not let such a good talent go unnoticed. Looking at the young captain in front of him, Li Ge Lao sighed inwardly.

The Wu Dynasty needs talents. I am old now and I don’t know how many more years I can serve the people.

...

After watching Li Ge Lao and other disaster relief officials enter Chang'an, Su Qinchao also returned to the barracks with his soldiers.

They were all exhausted during this period, so they took a ten-day vacation in advance to go back and see their families and have two good meals.

Before Su Qinchao went back, he went to Chang'an City and bought Yunniang's favorite sour jujube cake and the latest storybook.

When I got home, I saw Yunniang, who was pregnant and sitting under the grape trellis, embroidering quietly, and my eyes suddenly became moist.

"Yunniang." Su Qinchao called softly, looking at the person's face who was surprised by his appearance.

Su Qinchao couldn't help but hug her gently, and his tears fell into her collar.

"What's wrong, husband?" Yunniang was extremely surprised. She had been married to her husband for many years and had never seen him shed tears.

"I miss you!" Ever since I found out she was pregnant, the busier I was during the day, the more I missed her at night.

"I'm right here." Yunniang hugged him back carefully and patted his back gently. Her husband had lost a lot of weight while going out to provide disaster relief.

"Let me see my baby!" Su Qinchao wiped his face casually, let go of Yunniang, and gently touched her arched belly, his eyes full of love.

"I don't know if it's a girl or a boy." Old people always say that sour boys eat sour girls, but she eats them all.

"I like all the children you give birth to!" He only gave birth to a son in his previous life. If possible in this life, he hopes to have a little girl. Of course, a son would also be nice.

"By the way, have you sent letters to both parents?" Su Qinchao suddenly remembered this.

"They've already sent it. My parents-in-law said they'll come to Beijing next month to take charge. My parents plan to come after the baby is born, but they've already sent a lot of little things, including food and daily necessities."

"That's good. It's not easy for me to get out of the camp. I feel much more at ease with my parents here. I will write a letter later to thank my parents-in-law for their help."

As a woman in her previous life, Su Qinchao naturally knew how difficult it was to be a daughter-in-law, and tried her best to do what she could.

So, after having lunch with Yunniang, he found a piece of fine jujube wood and planned to make a cradle for the child with his own hands.

I learned some carpentry skills temporarily during the disaster relief work in Henan Province, and now it's just in use.

Carving is impossible, but it is possible to make it smooth.

In just half a day, the cradle had a prototype. It looked very similar to those in later generations and had many more functions than those on the market. The only thing left was polishing.

Su Qinchao glanced at the sky and thought he would have to wait until the next ten-day break. He quickly ordered someone to put the things away, washed his hands, and went to the room to call Yunniang to get up for dinner.

The maid said that Yunniang had become more and more sleepy since she became pregnant. Su Qinchao, who was very experienced in his previous life, understood that this meant that the child was growing up.

However, it is not good to sleep too long. Su Qinchao plans to take a walk in the village with Yunniang after dinner.

Unexpectedly, while strolling, I met an acquaintance halfway. It turned out to be the man I rescued on the boat when I came to Chang'an that year.

At first, Su Qinchao just felt that he looked familiar, but when he heard the man talking about it, he suddenly remembered it.

The man first thanked Su Qinchao for lending him the silver. His father survived because of the timely rescue. Now he is in good spirits and can plow two acres of land a day.

Then he said apologetically that he had not yet collected enough money, but he would be able to pay it off in two years at most.

"Don't worry, as long as your father is saved, it doesn't matter if he returns slowly." After chatting for a few more sentences, he persuaded the man to go home, and he went back with Yunniang, who seemed to understand what he said.

"Husband, is this what happened when you came to Chang'an to take the military examination a few years ago?" Yunniang asked about this as soon as she sat on the couch.

"Yes, it's been so many years. I didn't expect to meet you again. It's fate." Su Qinchao took a wet towel and helped her wipe her hands.

"Why haven't I heard my husband mention it?" Yunniang felt scared just thinking about it. Encountering pirates is no small matter.

"That pirate didn't mean to hurt anyone. He risked his life for his father's life-saving money. He was the only injured person among the boats."

Su Qinchao looked at Yunniang, whose breathing was slightly rapid. He knew that she was afraid, so he tried to comfort her with kind words.

"That's good!"

...

By the time I coaxed Yunniang to sleep and returned to the military camp, it was already one quarter past midnight.

Normally, he would have stayed with Yunniang until 3:15 am, but he was not in the barracks during this period and there were many military affairs piled up, so he had to deal with them early to avoid any delays.

He was busy until almost three quarters past midnight, and the chess player kept urging him to put down his military duties and go to bed.

In his dream, he saw flowers in full bloom. A pink little girl came out from the flowers, sat on his lap, and talked to him with gestures. Just as he was about to lower his head and listen carefully, he was awakened by Guanqi.

It was already 2:15 in the morning, and it was time to gather at the training ground. Su Qinchao washed up casually, opened his arms and let Guanqi help him put on his light armor, picked up his spear and went out.

At this time, most of the people had gathered on the training ground, but a small number of people still hurried over and finally stood in their positions before the deadline.

Today is the day of the big competition. Ordinary soldiers will challenge each other up level by level until they reach a certain rank. If they succeed, they will be promoted to a higher level. Therefore, the morale is particularly high today.

Although generals do not participate in this kind of low-level competition, a small arena will be set up nearby where those who want to compete can go, but the results are not included in routine assessments.

Sure enough, someone pointed out Su Qinchao to challenge him today, and it was from the Huaihua Si level, which was half a level lower than him.

Su Qinchao knew that this battle would come to him sooner or later, just like the time when he first arrived at Yanmen Pass. He had to show his strength to convince the crowd.
