The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

This time, the Tao family didn't have any controversy and unanimously chose the 32-year-old leader.

Everyone in the village knows that his daughter Hongdou is going to marry the regimental commander. What's the point of getting a battalion commander instead?

Only Tao Hongmei, the youngest child in the Tao family, was a little worried about this. The Tao family was large, and the two sisters could only share a room. When they were lying in bed at night, Tao Hongmei asked, "Third sister, are you really going to marry that regimental commander? He already has two children. You'll be a stepmother if you marry him!"

Not to mention the two children, one seven years old and the other five, both of whom are not quite grown up yet. They can't just remember you as their own mother just by raising you.

She thought that battalion commander was pretty good. Although there was no one left in his family to help him, it also meant that there would be no trouble.

Tao Hongmei is seventeen years old and is still in her first year of high school. Nowadays, there is not much of a study atmosphere at school, and she will probably drop out after another semester. At that time, her family will start arranging her marriage.

If she had to choose, she would choose that battalion commander, but she probably wouldn't be so lucky. She could only find one in a nearby village. In the countryside, everyone has a large family, and if she married into the family, she would have to take care of her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law.

She was a little confused.

Tao Hongdou lay on the bed with her eyes shining: "As long as I become the regimental commander's wife, a stepmother is fine with me!"

From the first time her mother mentioned that a regimental commander was coming to meet her, to the time she was rejected and felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, to the time she secretly hoped that her mother would help her find a regimental commander, not to mention her mother's constant nagging that she must marry a regimental commander and never be outdone by the girl from the Chang family next door!

After Yan Shuqin came to deliver the message last time, her eldest brother, second brother, and sister-in-law had already spread the news that she was going to marry the regimental commander!

She absolutely had to marry a regimental commander, otherwise, how would the villagers view her, and how could she ever hold her head high again!

Tao Hongmei fell silent, lying in the darkness, lost in thought.

A few days later, Tao Hongdou took the letter of introduction and boarded the train to her post.

The weather grew colder day by day, and before we knew it, it was December.

Every household is preparing for the New Year, and the village has started slaughtering pigs and distributing meat, making the New Year atmosphere very strong.

Jiang Linghan took all the vacation days he had accumulated, but even so, he could not arrive at Shangtang Village until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

The wedding was held directly at the Chang family home, and afterwards, the couple stayed at the Chang family home. After the New Year, they took Chang Ning directly to join the military.

Rural weddings are very simple; they just set up a few large tables in front of the house to host a meal. The Chang family had been preparing for a long time, trading a lot of pork with others and buying some chicken, duck, and fish. Fortunately, the weather was cold, so the food could be stored for a long time.

In winter, the only vegetables available are radishes and cabbages, plus dried beans, peppers, and other dried vegetables that were dried in the summer.

In addition, there were some local specialties sent by Jiang Linghan. All together, there were ten dishes, five meat and five vegetable, which was already considered a rather luxurious banquet.

Chang Ning didn't need to worry about any of this. She was busy trying on new clothes these past few days. Her mother had asked the village tailor to make her a bright red wedding dress, and also made two other winter dresses. They were all very nice.

Changning was extremely satisfied with the tailor's excellent skills, having heard that the tailor's ancestors had been embroiderers in the palace.

The mirror in the house was too small, making it difficult to see oneself. Just then, Yan Shuqin came in, and Chang Ning immediately asked, "Mom, does it look good?"

After saying that, she turned around in front of her and said, "It looks good. Change it off quickly, don't ruin it!"

He was also a little worried: "It's already the 25th of today, and Xiao Jiang still hasn't come back. Could something have happened to him?"

"Mom, he said he won't arrive until the 26th, why are you in such a hurry!"

Seeing Ningning's carefree attitude, Yan Shuqin was truly worried: "Ningning, you and Xiao Jiang are getting married soon, so you should take better care of him from now on!"

“I’m not driving that train, and I can’t make it go faster, so what can I do?” Chang Ning said as she changed out of her new clothes. “Let’s go to bed early tonight, maybe he’ll arrive first thing tomorrow morning.”

Yan Shuqin was speechless and too lazy to talk to the girl, so she changed the subject: "I wonder if your second brother will be able to come back this year!"

I really don't know. Chang Bo doesn't have that much seniority, so whether he can take leave depends on his superiors' arrangements.

The next morning, while Chang Ning was still asleep, she heard a commotion outside.

A car pulled up in front of the Chang family's house, and the villagers immediately gathered around to watch the spectacle. Some were even eating their breakfast.

Jiang Linghan, dressed in military uniform, stepped out of the car. He was tall and straight. Yan Shuqin immediately smiled and said, "Little Jiang, you've finally arrived! We've been thinking about you every day!"

Father Chang stood beside him with a smile on his face. Jiang Linghan greeted him and asked, "Where's Ningning?"

"That girl hasn't gotten up yet, I'll go call her!"

Jiang Linghan quickly said, "No need to wake her, I arrived too early, let her sleep a little longer!"

Yan Shuqin still went, and seeing Chang Ning getting dressed, she quickly went out and asked, "Xiao Jiang, have you had breakfast? Are these two your comrades? Come and have some with us!"

The two quickly waved their hands: "No need, Auntie, we've already eaten. We just came to help deliver things and we have to go back soon!"

The villagers watching were astonished as they watched the things the people took off the car: canned fruit, malted milk powder, Moutai liquor, and some other packages containing unknown contents.

After taking all that, the two unloaded something else from the car—a sewing machine!

Yan Shuqin was also surprised: "Xiao Jiang, didn't I tell you last time that it's unnecessary? Nobody in our family knows how to do this!"

Jiang Linghan said, "This is not difficult. You can study it when you have free time as a pastime."

Yan Shuqin clicked her tongue in amazement. She wouldn't dare to treat it as a pastime; she'd have to treat it like a precious artifact if she kept it at home.

After moving their belongings, the Chang family's main room was already packed full. The two comrades then said their goodbyes, but Yan Shuqin insisted that they stay for breakfast because of the cold weather. The two quickly refused, saying, "We've already eaten, Auntie. We'll come back for Ling Han's wedding!"

Then he drove away.

Father Chang called out, "Little Jiang, come in quickly and sit down inside!"

Yan Shuqin was stopped by the villagers who had gathered around: "Is this the one who's going to marry your Ningning?"

The villagers knew the Chang family was having a wedding, but they didn't know who the groom was. They only knew he was from out of town and was a soldier.

Although the Tao family knew, they would rather keep it a secret than tell anyone.

Yan Shuqin's face was almost frozen from smiling. "Yes, that's it! Everyone's coming to the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow!"

"This is no ordinary situation!"

"It was delivered by a military vehicle," someone tentatively asked. "Is it a battalion commander?"

Yan Shuqin smiled but didn't say anything. "I have to go back to entertain my guests. You guys go ahead with your work!"

Only Chen Baicui next door gritted her teeth in anger. Her son-in-law was supposed to be hers, but Yan Shuqin snatched him away!

Fortunately, her daughter also married a regimental commander and will be back in a couple of days.

As soon as Jiang Linghan entered the house, he saw Chang Ning coming out of her room. The moment she saw him, her eyes lit up: "Jiang Linghan!"

He couldn't help but laugh: "Ningning!"
