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

That night, Chang Ning and Jiang Linghan lay in bed, and Chang Ning asked him what he was really thinking.

Jiang Linghan said, "Why are you still struggling with this issue? I don't have any strong desire to have a child. If you want one, we can have one and raise it well. If you don't want one, the two of us are fine too."

Chang Ning then told her about Teacher Chen's story from earlier that day and asked if it was related to this.

Jiang Linghan was silent for a while, then said that it was somewhat related, but not the main reason, and that he himself didn't really like children.

Chang Ning then asked, "What if we have children in the future? Won't you like them either?"

Jiang Linghan said, "Of course I like you, but I still like you the most."

Chang Ning laughed for a while and then asked, "Are your missions always very dangerous?"

"Not necessarily." Jiang Linghan hugged her tightly. "Don't worry, no matter how dangerous it is, I will come back alive to see you."

To outsiders, he was a young and promising regimental commander who excessively cherished his wife, treating her like a precious gem. Everyone thought Chang Ning was lucky.

But only he himself knew that he was the lucky one.

When they first met, she stood at her doorstep, peeking at him. He wasn't unaware of it, nor was he oblivious to his suddenly racing heartbeat. However, he was still rational at the time and knew he shouldn't disturb a girl's peaceful life.

But when she came to him the next day, he could no longer control himself; he knew he wanted her.

He knew that taking this step might turn her life upside down, just like what happened to Ms. Chen and her husband, but he still reached out and grabbed her hand without hesitation.

Love is selfish; when you give to the one you love, you are ultimately the one who is satisfied.

Chang Ning was naturally unaware of his somewhat obsessive thoughts. She didn't actually think that much about it. Even if she might encounter a bad ending in the end, it hadn't happened yet, so she put her melancholy aside after a while.

I haven't thought about the child's situation yet; we'll see.

Life returned to normal. Jiang Linghan went on a few missions, and Chang Ning learned to cook a few dishes, all of them vegetarian. She didn't know how to handle meat; at most, she would just boil it and make a cold salad.

Jiang Linghan also brought back some soil from the yard and built a flower bed with stones. He planted scallions and chives in it, and it was quite interesting to watch them sprout and grow slowly.

However, Changning only cooks for herself once every ten days or half a month, and after it grows up, she gives most of it to Sister Tian next door.

Sister Tian reciprocated by often bringing her homemade pickled cowpeas, chili sauce, and other similar items. Today, she brought her zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).

The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and the weather is getting warmer. Sister Tian saw a large flowerpot in the corner of the yard, which made the branches inside look extremely weak. She laughed and said, "This is an orange tree, isn't it? Your Commander Jiang is really thoughtful."

Chang Ning said that she had always wanted to plant a tree in the yard because it was too sunny in the summer with no shade.

However, the ground was compacted, so there was nothing I could do but buy a flowerpot from a local villager. It was probably someone's old pickle jar, about half a person's height. I filled it with soil and planted an orange sapling in it.

"Then you're still going to expose it to the sun here. It'll probably take two or three years for this seedling to grow!"

Chang Ning pointed to the side near the courtyard wall, "Jiang Linghan said that he would build a pavilion here and plant some grape seeds so that the grapevines can climb on the pavilion!"

"That's great. If they really grow, I bet a lot of mischievous monkeys will come running here."

Then I asked her, "You two haven't planned to have children yet?"

Chang Ning said no, they haven't had enough time together yet.

"A world for two?" Sister Tian pondered the term for a moment. "That makes sense. Once you have a child, you're constantly focused on the child."

Actually, it was Jiang Linghan who used this term. He seemed to really not care about the child. Chang Ning felt that she wasn't ready yet, but she didn't know in what way she wasn't ready. She would just live like this for now.

Chang Ning said, "Isn't your eldest going to junior high school? He'll be more sensible soon!"

The military only has primary school; for junior high school, students have to go to towns outside the city.

“My two kids are doing well; they’re becoming more and more obedient,” Sister Tian said. “Do you know that a new regimental commander was transferred to our station? He lives in the remaining courtyard and just moved in yesterday.”

When Jiang Linghan applied for the house, there were two left. One was next to Sister Tian's house, and the other was a little further away on the other side.

Chang Ning really didn't know about this. Yesterday, she had a lot of classes at school and no one was chatting in the office. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

This kind of garrison transfer is actually quite normal; Jiang Linghan may also be transferred in two years.

"What could be wrong with that? It's just that their house seems really noisy!"

Sister Tian said she passed by there yesterday and the family was packing up. She didn't see the man, probably because they were busy with the handover. There was only a pregnant woman, whose belly didn't look very big, just slightly showing.

There were also two children, a boy and a girl, around six or seven years old. They didn't offer to help; they just ran around inside and outside the house. There was also an old woman's voice inside, and I couldn't hear what she was cursing!

A pregnant woman was packing her things, and Sister Tian said she felt sad when she saw this. She went over to ask if the woman needed help, but the woman was probably embarrassed and declined.

Sister Tian shook her head and sighed, "Having too many children isn't good either; it takes so much worry!"

"Isn't the family planning policy being promoted now? I think it's great, it makes women suffer less!"

Chang Ning had no concept of these things and couldn't relate to them at all, but she did remember that if she wanted to have children in the future, one would be enough, as more would cause trouble!

She usually only interacted with teachers at school and a few neighbors who lived nearby. She thought she wouldn't have any contact with the new regimental commander's family member too soon, but she didn't expect to run into them the next day.

Chang Ning didn't have any classes during the first period and was preparing lessons in her office when someone knocked on the door. She looked up and saw a pregnant woman standing in the doorway with two children. She was taken aback. "Tao Hongdou?"

Tao Hongdou was also taken aback. "Chang Ning?"

Chang Ning had mixed feelings. She hadn't taken it seriously when Sister Tian mentioned it yesterday, but she never expected it to be someone she knew!

"You're the family member of the newly transferred regimental commander?"

At the time, I only heard that she chose that regimental commander and then got married. That regimental commander had two children from a previous relationship, so I suppose it was these two.

She asked, "Are they here to register? What grade are they in?"

Tao Hongdou said the procedures were completed, but she had something to do this morning, so she was late for school.

Chang Ning took the two children to their respective classrooms, and then saw Tao Hongdou out.

When they reached the small playground, Tao Hongdou seemed to realize, "I didn't expect you to be here too."

She looked Chang Ning up and down. Although it had only been a few months, it felt like a long time had passed. Her face used to have a bit of a childish look, but now she had completely grown up.

Like a flower swaying in the wind on a branch.

Her eyes were still clear, and her skin was as fair and delicate as before; it was clear at a glance that she was living a happy life.

Tao Hongdou felt a sudden surge of anxiety, an unease like ants crawling over her. She touched the woman's stomach and finally stopped: "You're not pregnant yet?"
