"Second brother!"

The little girl, wearing a pair of black leather shoes, ran down from the second floor with a clattering sound. With a light leap, she threw herself directly onto Fang Meng's back. She put her arms around the young man's neck, turned her head to look at his handsome profile, and a smile as warm as the sun was reflected in her watery eyes.

"Be careful, don't fall!"

Fang Meng quickly put the brush and paste in his hand on the shoe cabinet beside the door, quickly put one hand behind his back, and firmly supported her little butt with his palm, gently rocking it with a bit of doting.

"Tsk, who are you looking down on?" The little girl raised the corners of her mouth, looking proud and coquettish.

Bai Nuo glanced at the window grilles on the living room windows, then looked around the cleanly swept living room, stretched out her little hand and gently pinched Fang Meng's face.

"Didn't we agree to wait for me to get up and clean up together? Why didn't you call me?"

"You were soundly asleep, and there wasn't much work to do, so I didn't want to call you. Besides, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang came to help early this morning. How could the three of us grown men not handle this?"

Fang Meng had indeed visited Bai Nuo's room that morning, and seeing her sound asleep, he hadn't the heart to wake her. However, he was the only one who could enter Bai Nuo's room without disturbing the little girl. If it were someone else, she would have woken up the moment they reached the second floor.

"I'm telling you two, you're still wearing military uniforms, so pay attention to your image!" Zhu Kaixuan had just walked out of the room when he saw two children hugging each other and walking around in the living room. He couldn't help but curl his lips helplessly.

It's a good thing that the two children have a good relationship, but we also have to take into account the feelings of his old father.

This is not married yet...

"Dad, good morning!"

Bai Nuo wasn't shy at all, still sitting confidently on Fang Meng's back. He turned around and greeted Zhu Kaixuan with a smile. His frankness made Zhu Kaixuan embarrassed to say anything more, so he could only smile helplessly and shake his head.

Fang Meng also turned around with her on his back and said with a smile, "Dad, good morning. The house is ready. Xiao Wang has brought back breakfast, and the game has been delivered to the kitchen. Xiao Li and Xiao Wang just returned to the military region."

Zhu Kaixuan nodded with satisfaction. The more he looked at his son-in-law, the more he liked him.

This child was not the typical male chauvinist these days. He would rush to do all the chores around the house, never complaining, and was incredibly kind to Bai Nuo. Sometimes Zhu Kaixuan even felt that this boy doted on his daughter more than he did.

Occasionally, he couldn't help but worry: Would his son-in-law be "bullied" by his own daughter one day?

Will he make the decision for his son-in-law when the time comes, or will he hide away!!!

After the family of three finished breakfast, they went to the backyard and small compartment to pack the New Year's goods and gifts to be taken back to the No. 1 Military Region compound in the evening.

Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two children had to go door to door to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts. The No. 1 Military Region compound was far away, and driving back and forth was too troublesome. In the end, the three of them unanimously decided to drive three cars back to the compound to celebrate the New Year!

Anyway, Zhu Kaixuan and Fang Meng both had cars, and Bai Nuo also had his own sedan, so there was no need to bother. Only this family, either wealthy or powerful, could be so "arrogant".

Nowadays, not every household has a car, let alone a bicycle.

At noon, Zhu Kaixuan took his daughter and son-in-law to the military district auditorium to attend the army gala.

When Bai Nuo walked in, several people in the family compound who knew her were still a little dazed.

It is really hard to imagine that the little girl who was walking around the family compound in a police uniform a month ago suddenly changed into a military uniform, and her status changed from a military dependent to a regular soldier. The most important thing is that she is a battalion-level officer, which is a higher military rank than most of the men in the military dependents' families present.

This girl is only seventeen years old. It's no exaggeration to say she's "the youngest battalion-level cadre in the entire army." Even more astonishing is that her boyfriend, Fang Meng, is also the youngest deputy regimental-level officer in the entire army.

Crucially, these two young men earned their military commissions through genuine ability and hard-earned military exploits. Those gleaming medals are the ultimate testament to their service.

...How come all these good things happened to the Zhu family!

Being so outstanding, it is hard to even feel jealous.

Zhu Kaixuan walked into the auditorium without any hesitation. He took his daughter and future son-in-law to the front and introduced his two children to several senior leaders who were invited to attend the 28th Military Region Party.

Not far away, the aunt who had been indignant in the family compound that morning, despising Bai Nuo for being wasteful and not knowing how to live, looked towards the front of the auditorium with complicated eyes, so sour that she could hardly control her expression.

She pulled her son, who was a platoon leader, over and whispered in frustration:

"Look at you, why don't you learn from your cousin? Last year, your cousin found a factory office director as his in-law. His father-in-law is going to give him a promotion after the New Year, and not only that, he even got your little cousin a job at their factory! Who wouldn't be envious back home? Look at you, you have no sense at all!"

"I've found out everything. The daughter of that great leader has been with the army for a month. Why don't you seize the opportunity? If you had become the son-in-law of that great leader, would you have been a platoon leader for so many years? Your elder brother still has to work as a temporary worker in the factory, doing tiring and heavy work, and always getting bullied. As a younger brother, why can't you think more about your elder brother?"

"I came here this time just to help you with your marriage! I originally thought your commander's daughter would be fine, but I asked around, and I found out that a commander's position is nowhere near as high as that of a high-ranking official. Even though that girl is a bit of a spendthrift, you don't have to worry. After you get married, I'll be there to help you manage your life..."

"mother!"

The platoon leader interrupted her expressionlessly, his eyes filled with disgust and annoyance.

He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to let my mother come to the army to spend the New Year. It was not others who were tortured, but himself.

"What? I'm doing this all for you..."

Before she could finish, the young platoon leader interrupted her directly, with a seemingly gentle smile on his face, but his words were heartbreaking:

"I'm not going to tell you about the morality of stealing someone's partner. You won't listen anyway. I'll just tell you something you can understand. Do you know what that girl's partner's family does?"

"My grandfather was a military medical professor at the rank of director, and his whole family is high-ranking. It's okay if you don't understand these things, you just need to know one thing.

"If I dare to steal his girlfriend this morning, your husband, your precious eldest son, and your eldest daughter-in-law will lose their jobs this afternoon! Your eldest grandson won't even be able to go to school in the city."

"...Including me, an incompetent platoon leader. My whole family has to go back to our hometown to farm the next day."

The aunt raised her head in disbelief and looked at her little son in front of her with a serious face.

She instinctively didn't want to believe it, thinking her son was trying to scare her, but his expression, which didn't seem to contain any hint of joking, made her uncontrollably feel a surge of panic in her heart, and her face turned paler and paler.

At that moment, all thoughts of becoming a leader's daughter or rising to fame were instantly extinguished. She didn't even dare glance in that direction. She calmed down and followed her son with trepidation. Even the daughter of her teacher, whom she had previously considered trying to get close to, now completely stopped trying to establish a relationship with her.

What if it really implicates the man in the family, her precious eldest son, and her beloved grandson... she can't afford it.

As for Bai Nuo, she had no idea that such a thing had happened. When the man walked up to her, she didn't even recognize who he was.

After the afternoon party, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng accompanied Zhu Kaixuan to the military district cafeteria to have a lively reunion dinner with all the soldiers.

After the event, the family of three hurried back to their family compound, loaded all the New Year goods and gifts they were going to take into three cars, and then picked up their four furry friends.

Three cars started one after another and drove steadily towards the No. 1 Military Region compound in the city.
