Reborn and hastily married to a military officer, the aloof beauty's medical skills bring prosp

The following day was the day to receive the commendation.

Ying Mingcheng returned to his post at the Qilu Military Region. They were to depart together the next morning, while Mu Huaixi could leave from home and then meet up with the logistics troops upon arrival.

She changed into her military uniform early in the morning, put on her full set of medals, and set off in a heroic and spirited manner.

Mr. Ying even arranged his own car for her, but Mu Huaixi felt it was too high-profile and preferred to set off earlier and walk there.

The roll call was scheduled for 8:40, but Mu Huaixi arrived at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People at 8:15. The huge square was already filled with many people.

The banner of logistics and medical services stands out among the banners of various military regions. Mu Huaixi quickly found her organization and was pleasantly surprised to see her comrades.

"Dr. Ma, Xiao Tao, what brings you here too?" Mu Huaixi didn't expect to run into so many people here, especially the "Monkey King".

He is no longer a wild child in tattered clothes, but a handsome young man in ethnic costume and new rubber shoes.

"He's living with the Kangwa family now. Dr. Kang is sick, so he asked us to bring him to Beijing to broaden his horizons," the accompanying military doctor explained to Mu Huaixi.

"Dr. Kang is sick? What's wrong with him?" Mu Huaixi was a little worried. Kangwa was in his thirties, which wasn't considered old, but in the local area he was already considered an uncle or grandfather.

The little boy who grew up with the white tiger and the monkey now has a new name, Connor, which is said to mean star.

He spent many years walking in the mountains, collecting herbs and saving lives just like Mu Huaixi's grandfather, and like Mu's grandfather, he was also covered in injuries and illnesses.

After Mu Huaixi returned, she still missed him very much and would send him food and cloth during holidays. However, Dr. Kangwa could not write Chinese, so the two had never corresponded and she did not know that Connor was with Kangwa.

"Duck, delicious," Connor still speaks haltingly, but he has improved compared to before. Dr. Connor sent him to the town school, but he ran back after a few days. He had no choice but to learn to speak by listening to a small radio.

But Connor was very popular in the village, where people worshipped wild beasts and firmly believed that the white tiger was the mountain god. They heard that he was the white tiger's son and often brought them dried meat and offal.

The villagers all believe this is an offering to the white tiger, hoping to please the mountain god and ensure their safety through such a small means.

Mu Huaixi observed that Connor was in better condition than when he was wandering in the mountains. He had grown taller, his face had become rounder, and even his hair was shinier than before.

"I brushed my teeth," he said, deliberately showing his teeth to tell Mu Huaixi that he had cleaned his teeth carefully as she had instructed.

Mu Huaixi felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected him to take her words so seriously, especially since they had been traveling together.

After all, Connor grew up with wild animals, loved to eat meat, and didn't have the habit of cleaning his teeth. There were already black marks between his teeth, and his gums were swollen and painful.

Mu Huaixi taught him to find herbs that could clear heat and reduce internal fire to chew, and also taught him to brush his teeth with twigs and clean between his teeth. To prevent him from being disobedient, she even scared him by saying that if he didn't brush his teeth properly, he might not be able to bite meat in the future.

"Good boy," Mu Huaixi said with a smile, patting his head. She noticed that the boy had grown taller and was clearly enjoying his time at Dr. Kang's house.

"Come home with me tonight and meet your younger brother and sister." Mu Huaixi liked Connor very much and invited him to her home. She also wanted to take the boy to buy some clothes and daily necessities, and then treat him to a big meal.

Amidst laughter and chatter, the large group entered the auditorium.

It was Mu Huaixi's first time entering, and she was immediately attracted by the simple yet grand decoration. She followed the footsteps of the person in front of her, but her eyes roamed around and couldn't stop looking!

This grand auditorium can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Its tiered design allows every seat to have a clear view of the front platform—where military flags flutter and flags from all military regions stand tall, guarding the national emblem and military insignia in the center. Just seeing it from afar is enough to stir one's heart and make one unable to control oneself.

Many people around Mu Huaixi were already wiping away tears. She could understand this emotion; it was a pure feeling of being moved and revering.

This is the capital, the closest place to great men, and a sacred place in everyone's dreams.

Even as she sat there, she had a slight doubt that she was dreaming.

Who would have thought that simply trying her best to be a good doctor would lead her to a place she never dared to dream of in her previous life?

"Xi, why are they all crying?" Connor was so excited that he only realized now that everyone around him had red eyes, and the doctor who brought him to the capital was sobbing uncontrollably, his handkerchief soaked with tears.

Mu Huaixi's eyes were also filled with tears, but she wiped them away without making a sound, turned her head and smiled as she ruffled the boy's hair, "Everyone is just too happy."

“Happy…” Connor mused. With his temperament, he found it hard to understand why people cry tears of joy instead of laughing out loud when they are extremely happy.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore. Connor shook his head and said to her with emotion, "I'm happy. This place is so beautiful."

"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful here," Mu Huaixi said, looking up at the "water and sky in one color" dome, where circles of lights shone like stars, and in the very center was a large sunflower surrounded by sixty gilded petals, with a bright red star light inlaid in the center.

The lights shone brightly yet gently, casting a magnificent and moving glow that touched the heart.

"Comrades, the commendation meeting is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible."

As the announcement sounded and military songs began, the military representatives who were still in the aisles and at the door quickened their pace. Soon, the auditorium was filled with people, and those who had just been crying wiped away their tears. The auditorium returned to silence, with only the military songs drifting through the air.

"Next, let's welcome the logistics heroes who have made outstanding contributions in this southern Xinjiang campaign. They are—"

Mu Huaixi watched as batches of soldiers went up on stage to receive awards, her palms turning red from queuing. For a moment, she forgot that she was also a participant until the leader of the conference called out her name.

Mu Huaixi was stunned. Fortunately, she was not the only one who went up on stage to receive the award. With the reminder from the people around her, she quickly got up and lined up, heading towards the podium.

She had never thought of herself as someone who would get nervous in big situations, but the moment she stepped onto the stage, all the blood in her body rushed to her head, and her heart started racing uncontrollably.

"Thank you..." she heard her voice trembling. Suddenly, a weight settled on her neck as a gleaming medal appeared around her neck, along with a commemorative certificate and medal in her hands.

As she stepped off the stage, she suddenly began to doubt herself, wondering if she had been moving her hands and feet in unison.

It wasn't until she saw Ying Mingcheng, his face beaming with pride, smiling and nodding at her, that her anxiety finally subsided.

She straightened her back and suddenly saluted him, just like in the song, the medal belonged to both her and Ying Mingcheng.

The two of them complemented each other.

Mu Huaixi was overjoyed countless times for regaining the courage she had on her wedding day, and for making changes little by little, which unexpectedly changed her entire life.

I never imagined I would meet the love of my life, never imagined I would gain so many family members, and never imagined I would stand here today to receive the highest level of recognition.

What more could one ask for in life than this?
