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

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, don't bother seeing me off. I can walk by myself. No need to see me off, no need to see me off. Okay, okay, I'll come again next time."

Xue Manqian politely left the room, leaving An Ning and Shen Changle inside.

After Xue Man left, Shen Changle looked at An Ning and asked, "Mom, who is this Uncle Xue?"

She didn't hear anyone coming over for dinner when she went out today, but when she came back, there was another person at home.

"He is your Uncle Chen's friend."

"Oh!" Shen Changle replied, "Then when are we going to find Uncle Chen Hai to take a boat?"

She doesn't know yet that Chen Hai has come to the military base with An Ning, and they might not be able to take a boat anymore.

"Looking for your Uncle Chen Hai?" An Ning smiled. "Wait a while. He probably won't be in the mood to go out with you right now."

"OK then!"

"What, aren't there enough toys at home for you to play with?"

"That's enough, I just miss Uncle Chen Hai a little."

Anning pinched her nose: "You've only been back for a short time, and you're already missing him?"

"That's exactly what I want!"

"There's no use thinking about it; he's too busy right now. If you really want to, just keep looking at the photos!"

"Alright then!" Shen Changle sighed with a precocious air. "Can I take the photos out to show my friends?"

"Yes, but you can only bring photos that only show you or only show you and your mother."

"Why can't I show them Uncle Chen Hai's picture? I've already told them that Uncle Chen Hai is amazing. He can build boats and airplanes. My toy airplane was made by my mom and Uncle Chen Hai together."

"Listen to me, now is not the right time. Let's wait a while! Don't you have a lot of solo photos? There are pigeons and amusement park photos, enough for you to share with your friends."

"Oh--"

Meanwhile, Xue Man went to find An Ning, and Song Wenyuan waited for him downstairs at his dormitory building after dinner.

As soon as Xue Man returned, he furtively pulled him aside and asked, "How did it go?"

"Good."

"What's so good about it? I'm asking if you've tested it out yet."

"You've tested it out, and I think it's great."

It's just that my sister-in-law is too capable, and I couldn't handle it. I can't blame my brother for that, can I?

After all, they did go, but they just didn't succeed.

As Xue Man answered, he silently thought to himself.

"Didn't she ask you anything?"

"asked."

"Tell me what you asked."

"She asked me if I was the one who asked me to go."

Song Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you answer?"

"My sister-in-law already guessed it, what else can I say? I can only admit it!" Xue Man felt that because of the life-saving grace from back then, it was necessary to remind his company commander. He said earnestly, "Company commander, I think this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. Why don't you just honestly admit your mistake? The outcome might be different if you admit your mistake yourself versus if your sister-in-law finds out."

"You do not understand."

Song Wenyuan suddenly felt like smoking.

He had never touched this thing before, and even thought it smelled bad. The guild leader tricked him into trying it many times, but he never tried it.

But now, he suddenly understands a little better how people feel when they want to smoke when they encounter trouble.

Did you think he hadn't considered being honest?

But several times, whenever he mentioned himself, the response was always the same: divorce.

What else could he do?

Seeing his company commander looking so bitter and resentful, Xue Man might have felt annoyed before, but now he just wanted to roll his eyes.

He realized his sister-in-law was right. The company commander was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he was faced with a desperate situation. There were some things he would never do unless he was pushed to the limit.

Since that's the case, then we can't blame him.

Who told the company commander to be no match for his sister-in-law in this area?

"Alright then, you told me to ask, and I did. It was my sister-in-law who guessed that you asked me to go. It's none of my business! I'm going back to rest now. I still have to study tonight."

“Roll, roll, roll, roll!”

Xue Man left quickly, but before entering the dormitory, he turned back to remind Song Wenyuan: "Really, Company Commander, listen to my advice. Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Only by turning over a new leaf sooner can you return home sooner. If you had recognized each other on the ship, your sister-in-law wouldn't have been in the army for so long, and you still wouldn't be unable to go home."

Before the stone hit him, Xue Man ran away in a flash, leaving only Song Wenyuan's angry and embarrassed voice.

"roll!"

The next morning, Song Wenyuan walked towards the toy factory with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Tell me, don't tell me, tell me, don't tell me, tell me... don't tell me... what a lousy flower!" Seeing the last lonely petal on the flower's core, Song Wenyuan threw the petal and the core together into the bushes, and then picked another one.

"What are you doing, you little rascal?"

A stern voice sounded from behind him, startling him.

Song Wenyuan turned around and saw that it was Li Bowen.

"Commander, what are you doing here?"

"Hey kid, I asked you first, and now you're asking me? Damaging public property, believe me or not, I'll make an example of you!"

"Nothing."

Song Wenyuan threw the flower he had just picked into the bushes and disappeared, thus destroying the evidence.

Li Bowen was furious when he saw him like this.

"Forget it, I get angry just looking at you, you good-for-nothing! It's been so long, and you still can't win your wife back."

"Who said that?" Song Wenyuan retorted, "I almost succeeded in Guangzhou this time."

"So, have you succeeded?"

Song Wenyuan: "..."

"whispering sound!"

Li Bowen made a disdainful sound, glanced at him sideways, and strode into the toy factory.

Song Wenyuan blushed immediately, but dared not do anything, so he could only chase after him: "You still haven't said why you came here this time!"

Li Bowen took a step to the side with disdain: "I'm here to see Comrade An Ning, what's it to you? Stay away from me, or I'll get dragged into this."

"My wife's affairs are my affairs."

"Your wife? We're not even sure if you can get her back! You'd be better off hoping the toy factory will keep her here," Li Bowen said. "Did you know your wife wanted to transfer her household registration to the factory? You didn't. Your daughter wanted to go to school, but she didn't even ask me for your military officer's certificate; she was planning to register her own household registration. Think about it carefully! I gave you a chance, but you're really useless!"
