Marrying Leng Libing Wang and having four children, traveling back to the 70s

The meaning of military speed was perfectly demonstrated by Comrade Xiao Zhao, orderly Shen Xiaoqi, Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao Zhihong, and Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting.

"One, two, three... ten."

"Hey, Deputy Captain Qiao, there are ten of them, and they're all pretty solid—"

After the stools were moved into the house, Shen Xiaoqi excitedly yelled like a three-year-old child.

Every year, the military's logistics department brings in some old tables and chairs. These are from various units, replaced by old ones. Sixty percent of them are new, and they're distributed. The military also brings in some for the comrades in the family compound. So...

Shen Xiaohan slapped his forehead, his longan-seed black eyes rolled, and then he suddenly realized something and started yelling again, "Ah! Deputy Commander Qiao, weren't you going to the army to return the car? Why did you take a detour and go to the logistics department to pick up Dengzi?"

"Eh—tsk tsk tsk, Deputy Captain Qiao, you're so nice to our Deputy Captain Lu!"

Qiao Zhihong, who was standing beside Lu Chenting, had a high-spirited expression on his face, but suddenly he paused. "Why did Attendant Shen's last sentence sound strange to me? It almost sounded like a woman's kiss???" He shuddered secretly and complained in his heart.

"That's right. I had just returned the car and was about to go back to the family compound when Political Commissar Jiang came over and stopped me."

"These stools were specially selected for you, Deputy Commander Lu, by Political Commissar Jiang. Well, they look a bit worn, but as Comrade Xiaoqi said, they're quite sturdy."

"Commissar Jiang said this, these were just brought back to the troops not long ago."

Qiao Zhihong said with a kind smile.

"To be honest, Political Commissar Jiang is really worried about you, Xiao Lu."

Qiao Zhihong kept wiping the stool with the rag in his hand like a nimble dancer, while continuing to chat and laugh with Lu Chenting who was also wiping the stool nearby.

"look--"

"When you were single, he worried about you every day and arranged blind dates for you. Now that you're married, he immediately applied for a family housing complex for you and even arranged for me to live next door to you so you could get used to this big family more quickly."

"Look, I even had the earthen stove in the kitchen built for you, and now there are these stools..."

The honest and hardworking Deputy Captain Qiao started talking endlessly.

Shen Xiaoqi scratched his head and said, "Oh my goodness, it turns out that the earthen stove in the kitchen was built by Political Commissar Jiang who asked someone to help our Deputy Commander Lu build it."

"Of course not. Political Commissar Jiang just asked me if I had remembered to buy the pot today. I just found out after talking to him."

The honest deputy commander Qiao Zhihong continued to chat with the soldier Shen Xiaoqi in an approachable manner, and their amiable and respectable political commissar Jiang Daye.

Well, Political Commissar Jiang’s good guy card was awarded by the deputy commander of the Second Regiment.

"Comrade Xiaoqi, didn't you just come back with a lunch box? If you don't eat now, the food will get completely cold."

I heard the voice before I saw the person. The simple and kind-hearted Kong Xiulan said with a smile in the front yard and walked into the house slowly.

"Hey, Old Joe, I brought you your meal. I know you must be reluctant to go back to eat now."

"Alright, guys, hurry up and eat. We can talk while we eat."

The considerate and virtuous sister-in-law Kong Xiulan held her husband Qiao Zhihong's lunch box in her left hand, spoke seriously, and handed it to Qiao Zhihong.

Then she placed the lunch box in her right hand on the table. "Here are some potatoes I just scrambled. You three can eat them with the rice."

"My big girl cut the potatoes, so they're a little different in size, haha..."

Lu Chenting was tongue-tied, "Sister-in-law, please work hard for me, big girl." Tsk, it seems that sister-in-law Kong Xiulan, who was frying potatoes, didn't have to work hard, but the two rough old men in front of her, and the entire army...

"Wow, Sister Xiulan, it smells so good——"

"Hehe, and that girl's knife skills are much better than mine—"

Shen Xiaoqi couldn't wait to open the lunch box filled with potatoes that Kong Xiulan brought over, and praised it generously.

"Hey, you soldier, you have a sweet mouth."

Deputy Head Qiao Zhihong carefully opened his lunch box and said jokingly.

"Hehehe..."

Shen Xiaoqi touched his neck embarrassedly and laughed awkwardly.

Kong Xiulan: "Okay, then you guys eat, I'll go back and eat too."

Qiao Zhihong: "Okay, Xiulan, I'll go back later then."

Kong Xiulan: "Yes."

***

Qiao Zhihong: "Attendant Shen, these remaining potatoes are yours."

Shen Xiaoqi: "Okay, Deputy Captain Qiao——"

Shen Xiaoqi is as straightforward as the summer sun, unpretentious and makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Shen Xiaoqi: "Deputy Captain Lu, the kitchen is now fully stocked with everything except firewood."

Deputy Head Qiao said, "That's easy. We'll take advantage of these two days of vacation and go up to the mountains to chop firewood tomorrow morning. We don't have much firewood left at home."

Lu Chenting: "Yeah."

Shen Xiaoqi: "I'll go too. Tomorrow, I'll go help Deputy Commander Lu chop firewood."

Deputy Regimental Commander Qiao: "Hey, Comrade Xiaoqi, you won't help me chop firewood? You're still chewing the potatoes that my big girl cut and your sister-in-law Xiulan picked."

Shen Xiaoqi: "Help, help, help. I'll help you chop firewood tomorrow, too, Deputy Captain Qiao. Hehe—"

Qiao Zhihong: "Hahaha..."

Qiao Zhihong: "I think you're clever. In the evening, my orderly will be back from leave. Tomorrow morning, the four of us will go up the mountain together."

Shen Xiaoji: "Really? Attendant Wang has also returned to the team? Yeah?! Hehehe,"

Qiao Zhihong: "Yeah???"

Qiao Zhihong: “!!!”

Lu Chenting: "It means 'great', Shen Xiaoqi's hometown dialect."

Lu Chenting, who had been eating quickly with a cold and serious face, explained unexpectedly.

Qiao Zhihong: "Hahaha..."

Shen Xiaoqi: "Hehehe..."

Qiao Zhihong: "Xiao Lu, are you going back to the military dormitory tonight?"

Lu Chenting: "Well, I'll move in tomorrow, not tonight."

Suddenly, Shen Xiaoqi opened his eyes and complained, "It's over. Deputy Commander Lu will move to the family compound tomorrow. Why do I feel like there's something missing here? It's weird, ah——"

"Deputy Captain Lu, I will definitely come to the family compound to see you often in the future."

Seeing Shen Xiaoqi's frosted face, Qiao Zhihong couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha..."

"You soldier, the family compound is less than 300 meters away from the troops, and Deputy Regimental Commander Lu is also in the troops during the day, and you're just complaining like a snowball—"

"And you must come to the family compound often to see Deputy Commander Lu!!!"

"What about babies who haven't been weaned???"
