A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Bowen sent off the last document and prepared to pack up and go home to rest for a few days.

Last year was his last shift, so he doesn't have to worry about so many things this year.

However, when he turned his head, he saw a tall, thin figure appear in the office.

"Why the hell didn't you make a sound! You scared the hell out of me!" Li Bowen cursed at Song Wenyuan, who suddenly appeared in the office. "Why aren't you home for the New Year? What are you doing here looking for me?"

Song Wenyuan just looked at him resentfully. He wanted to go back, but could he?

As for his home in the Red Flag Commune, he doesn't want to go back for the time being.

Every time his parents wrote to him, it was always asking for money from this place or that place.

Although his reasons were often absurd, he used every excuse imaginable, like a family member being sick, but he always gave in, and that's how they treated his wife and daughter.

If he can win his wife back, that's fine; if he can't... well, we'll see!

Actually, he received a letter from home before the Lunar New Year. It was written by Song Wenying on his behalf. It was a letter from his mother apologizing for her mistake and asking if he was coming home this year.

However, whether it was Song Wenying who took it upon herself or his mother who wanted him to forgive them, she wrote down a lot of "insider information" behind the scenes. After reading it, he burned it without replying or sending any money.

Li Bowen suddenly remembered this and cleared his throat: "So what should we do? How about you come visit me this year?"

"No, I'd better visit your home less often in the future."

After Song Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Bowen also fell silent.

He knew what Song Wenyuan was talking about, but he couldn't give him an explanation, both emotionally and logically. He was just thinking about how to handle the matter.

His wife's niece was entrusted to him by his sister-in-law to be well taken care of; it was impossible for him to send her to another military unit.

But he later learned the reason behind the other person's behavior from his wife.

If his wife hadn't told him, he would never have imagined that his niece would fall for a married woman!

Song Wenyuan was already married before she came to the army, okay?

Moreover, when he was at home, Song Wenyuan always kept his distance from her, and he never even thought about this aspect.

After much thought, Li Bowen could only come up with a good idea: to introduce his niece to a suitable partner as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't keep thinking about Song Wenyuan.

"Then why did you come to see me today? And is there anything I need to give them?"

"I just heard that my child had a conflict with the child of a certain leader, so I came to ask about the situation."

"That... it's already been resolved." Li Bowen was reluctant to mention the distinguished guest who had suddenly visited a couple of days ago. "Don't worry, that leader spoke highly of your wife, and was practically asking us to recruit her into the organization. He definitely won't do anything to them."

"Praise it highly?" Song Wenyuan asked, puzzled.

He received a letter from his wife and became suspicious, so he asked his comrades about it and learned about the matter. That's why he came to Li Bowen to ask him to keep an eye on things.

However, he didn't know that the matter had been resolved, otherwise he wouldn't have made this special trip.

"Ah... that commander may have retired, but he's always been concerned about our division and keeps checking in on things. He even reviewed the shovel your wife improved, and then he connected the drone she made with the drones from the old country..."

"It's not a drone, it's a remote-controlled airplane," Song Wenyuan corrected.

"Not much difference. Since it can fly, we can put the camera on it and load the shells in," Li Bowen said nonchalantly. "Speaking of which, you should thank me. I took this opportunity to get the blueprints for the remote-controlled plane from your wife. That's pretty much done. After the New Year, part of the reward should be distributed."

"Thank you, Captain."

Li Bowen: ...This awful thing!

"Alright, alright, is there anything else? No, I'm going home. My wife is waiting for me at home for dinner!"

Song Wenyuan casually brought a paper bag in from outside: "Help me deliver this to them."

"Didn't you say you didn't have anything to bring them?" Li Bowen opened the paper bag and glanced at it. "Just a few lanterns and couplets or something?"

“I bought the other things with her. Just say it’s a benefit from the military,” Song Wenyuan said.

Li Bowen tossed the couplet with the little tiger painting back, saying disdainfully, "Alright, I'll have Yan Fei deliver it in a bit. You can get lost now."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I wish you a happy new year in advance, Commander." Song Wenyuan left with satisfaction.

After seeing his wife and daughter off, he thought about it again and again, and still really liked those couplets and tiger-head shaped lanterns, so he turned back and bought one that his wife had never seen before.

Anyway, my wife isn't in the military, so who knows what kind of gifts the army gives out for the New Year?

Even if it's different from others, just say it was specially added by the group leader, and who would dare to say no?

It's a pity he couldn't go back and celebrate the New Year with them.

If only I could have my daughter wearing a tiger hat, under a tiger lantern, in front of the couplets, and take a picture with him and his wife!

Song Wenyuan pursed his lips, thinking of the brand-new camera he had asked his comrade to find, which had just arrived yesterday, and his mood immediately improved.

I'll go back and study it, so I can take pictures of my wife and daughter when they come to visit after the New Year.
