My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

"Report!" Lu Qinchuan's deep and powerful voice rang out outside the office, echoing throughout the corridor.

"Come in." The leader's low voice came out.

He pushed the door open and entered the office. He saw the regimental commander, Chen Guozheng, with his back to him, wearing a pair of reading glasses and looking at the military map hanging on the wall. He had his hands behind his back and, even though he knew Lu Qinchuan had come in, he didn't turn around. He just asked calmly:

"Coming?"

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Although he knew why Chen Guozheng wanted to see him, he still asked as usual.

Chen Guozheng then turned around, lowering his head and shooting two inquiring glances over his glasses: "Why don't you look like a newlywed at all? What kind of groom is covered in dust, like he's lost a battle?"

Being teased, Lu Qinchuan could only scratch the back of his head awkwardly and chuckle.

"I'm here to ask you for one thing. It's on the table. Look for yourself."

After saying that, Chen Guozheng walked to a lucky tree planted by the window with his hands behind his back and started to take care of the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants.

As expected, a letter of appointment.

These things did not interest the two people in the room much. Lu Qinchuan was not a fan of power, and Chen Guozheng knew it better than anyone else.

Back then, Lu Qinchuan followed behind him and was determined to leave the village with his troops. The resolute expression on his face, which was not that of a teenager, deeply moved him. He believed that this child would become a talented general in the future.

As expected, Lu Qinchuan was a cunning wolf on the battlefield. He was strategic, talented, and courageous, very much like himself when he was young.

When it comes to cultivating his subordinates, Chen Guozheng is different from others. He tends to let them go on their own. Even though he has put Lu Qinchuan in solitary confinement many times, it does not stop him from promoting him step by step.

"Commander, I'll go to the company then." Seeing that Chen Guozheng was not interested and didn't want to disturb him too much, Lu Qinchuan wanted to say goodbye.

Taking off his reading glasses, Chen Guozheng frowned: "Why go back to the company?"

Lu Qinchuan blinked in confusion. "Yes, I've always lived and ate in the company. Did the commander forget?"

After calming down, Lu Qinchuan corrected the flaw in his words and said with a smile: "I said it wrong, it should be back to the camp headquarters. Thank you for your cultivation, commander."

Chen Guozheng waved his hand and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Come here and chat with me for a while."

The guard brought two cups of tea. Lu Qinchuan took off his military cap and sat down, with Chen Guozheng sitting on either side of the coffee table.

"You're a military family member, too. Why are you still so selfish? You say it's easy, you live and eat at the camp headquarters, but what about your family? They're locked up in the dark in your own yard?"

Chen Guozheng held the teacup, but glanced at Lu Qinchuan next to him, as if he was not very satisfied with his full commitment to work.

Lu Qinchuan blew on the tea in the cup a few times, then tilted his head back and drank it all down. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said with a smile, "Captain, I'm not selfish. I'm a soldier, and I'm here to fight for the revolution. How can I live like ordinary people, with a wife and children and a warm bed?"

Chen Guozheng's teacup fell heavily on the coffee table, which scared Lu Qinchuan. He couldn't help but look at the old commander whose face turned black.

"Captain, Captain...what's wrong with me?" Lu Qinchuan was completely confused.

Chen Guozheng suddenly stood up, pointed at his nose and cursed, "Everyone says you're kind and righteous, but I think you're nothing more than that. You've got no sense of responsibility in a grown man like you. I was blind to bring you out."

Lu Qinchuan was stunned and rubbed his hands in confusion, obviously not understanding what he meant. Chen Guozheng adjusted his mood, sat down again, and said earnestly:

"Xiao Lu, it's almost the 1970s, and we're getting further and further away from the war years. In a peaceful and prosperous era, we need to be vigilant and prepared, but we also need to be responsible to our families."

Lu Qinchuan nodded randomly. Chen Guozheng was really not playing by the rules today, and he didn't dare to respond to him casually.

Seeing that he was much more docile, Chen Guozheng smiled and said, "You mean revolution is just fighting, training, and going on missions?"

Hearing the old leader ask this, Lu Qinchuan nodded firmly: "Yes."

Chen Guozheng smiled and shook his head. "That was during the war. Things are different now. You're young, so your thinking should keep pace with the times."

At this moment, Lu Qinchuan saw a sly glint in the eyes of the old regiment commander, who usually had a stern face, and whispered, "Who says having a wife and children is wrong? Loving your wife and having children is also part of the revolution."

Lu Qinchuan almost vomited blood on the spot. What kind of vicious words were those spoken by the old commander? This was not revolution at all, it was clearly counter-revolutionary.

He swallowed dryly, glanced towards the door, coughed, shrank his neck, and remained speechless.

Chen Guozheng also felt that he had said something wrong: "Your wife is what your family calls a child bride, right? You've been in the army for eight years and haven't been home yet. You're getting married without any emotional foundation. You need to cultivate your relationship. Only when your family is stable can you devote more energy to your work, don't you think?"

Lu Qinchuan clutched the corner of his clothes and nodded heavily in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes."

"By the way," Chen Guozheng tapped the coffee table with his fingers. "I heard that Nurse Su from the Military Hospital has a special relationship with you. It's just a rumor, but it would be very hurtful if it spread. Don't let this cause disharmony in your small family. I believe you can handle it."

Hearing the old captain say this, Lu Qinchuan's face changed. "How could the captain not know what I think? She and I are just comrades-in-arms. How can I influence her thoughts?"

Chen Guozheng nodded with satisfaction. "You're a brave and aggressive person, and you look attractive to women. But I'm telling you, don't get yourself into trouble or I won't forgive you."

"No, no..." Lu Qinchuan hurriedly assured.

"Report to the battalion headquarters today. Starting tomorrow, you'll be on duty like the other officers. Can you have a child living and eating with a bunch of men?"

Chen Guozheng gave him a sinister look that said, "You'll figure it out for yourself": You naturally can't have children if you're with a man, you can only have children if you're with a woman. You've been around men for a long time and heard a lot of dirty talk, so you might as well become smart. How can you still have a wife and live in the dormitory?

Lu Qinchuan fled out of the captain's office. When he touched his forehead, he found beads of sweat oozing out. The captain was really fierce. This was much more frightening than putting him in solitary confinement.

The regimental commander has given the order, so report to the battalion headquarters today.

He walked out of the regiment headquarters, opened the door of the jeep, and rushed in.

Just as he was about to start the engine, he saw a platoon leader from his reconnaissance company running over breathlessly: "Company Commander, oh no, Battalion Commander, something's wrong!"
