Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Gu Jin, holding an ice pop in her hand and looking away, said, "Xiao Tang, after this, if any of my sons come to you with something, don't listen to them, don't pay any attention."

"Anyway, I don't acknowledge them anymore, so you don't need to acknowledge them either."

"Just pretend you don't see them."

"If all else fails, use a stick to knock them out."

Gu Jin didn't elaborate, but Wen Tang knew that Xu Anming and the others must have said or done something about her recruitment plans.

Wen Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. I'm a very principled person, and no one can manipulate me."

Gu Jin then recalled the shock Wen Tang had given her when she first visited after Wen Tang married Gu Yanli.

Thinking of all this, Gu Jin smiled and said, "A good idea is a good thing; only with a good idea can great things be accomplished."

Once the Dragon Boat Festival is over, it will be the end of June, and summer will truly arrive.

Wen Tang received another letter from Gu Yanli, reminding her that it was getting really hot.

Looking at the things that were almost all prepared at home, Wen Tang said to Zhong Meixian and the others, "I want to go see Yan Li."

Zhong Meixian was the first to agree with this.

"That's great! When are you going? Mom will help you pack."

Zhong Meixian was eager to see her granddaughter-in-law, who was about to give birth, while her grandson was still nowhere to be seen. How could she not be excited about such a good thing as her daughter-in-law visiting her son?

"There's nothing going on at home, so I'm planning to go in the next couple of days."

Zhong Meixian immediately shook her head and told her, "It's okay, it's okay, you just go."

After explaining everything to Chi Yue in detail, Wen Tang packed her clothes and boarded the bus to Haishi with the He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

Without informing Gu Yanli beforehand, Wen Tang followed the address on the letter and made her way to the military base.

Wearing long sleeves and trousers, with messy hair and a dusty face, Wen Tang arrived at the military outpost.

"Hello comrade, I'm looking for Gu Yanli."

The sentry on guard turned around and told the communications officer at the door what was going on.

Then he gestured for her to come over.

Wen Tang walked to the gate.

The communications officer asked her, "Comrade, hello, what's your relationship with Battalion Commander Gu?"

"Husband and wife, I am his...wife."

The correspondent looked at Wen Tang's pale, malnourished face and dialed the internal line.

After hanging up the phone, the communications officer told her, "Comrade, please wait a moment. Battalion Commander Gu is out. Deputy Regiment Commander Shen will come to pick you up in a bit."

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

The messenger glanced at Wen Tang again, thinking to himself: This Battalion Commander Gu's wife is really a bit rustic.

No wonder everyone's saying that Battalion Commander Gu doesn't like the wife he married from the countryside.

This dusty, grimy face, which looks like it's never been washed properly, is... really a bit unpleasant to look at!

However, his facial features are fine, especially his eyes, which are bright.

She looks clever.

When Shen Bangguo came to pick someone up, he saw a thin girl dressed in old clothes standing at the gate from afar.

Upon seeing such a figure in the distance, Shen Bangguo began to wonder if Gu Yanli disliked his wife and that was why he had not allowed her to come and join the army.

Shen Bangguo thought that if that was the case, he would have to have a serious talk with Gu Yanli.

As they approached, Shen Bangguo called out to them. Wen Tang turned around, and her ashen face startled Shen Bangguo.

Shen Bangguo has lived for over thirty years and has met quite a few people.

I've seen young women, newlyweds, people of all races, both black and white.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a dusty, gray face, looking like they'd crawled out of a coal mine.

"Ouch," Shen Bangguo exclaimed instinctively.

Realizing something was amiss, she quickly added, "You...comrade, you're Battalion Commander Gu's wife, right?"

“Um… Battalion Commander Gu has gone out,” Deputy Regiment Commander Shen said, extending his hand. “Here, I’ll help you carry your things and take you to Battalion Commander Gu’s residence first.”

The communications officer had just said that Deputy Regiment Commander Shen would come to pick her up, so when her things were taken away, Wen Tang quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, leader."

When Wen Tang opened her mouth, her voice was not unpleasant.

Shen Bangguo waved his hand, "What leader or not, I'm just a few years older than Battalion Commander Gu, you can just call me Brother Shen."

Although Shen Bangguo said that, Wen Tang didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen."

"Oh, you're too kind."

Shen Bangguo led the person back to Gu Yanli's residence. Shen Bangguo's wife heard the noise and closed the door to come over.

Shen Bangguo quickly introduced her as "Commander Gu's wife".

Shen Bangguo's wife, Hong Ling, couldn't help but glance at Wen Tang several times. Wen Tang's sallow face was truly striking.

Hong Ling was also surprised that the family would choose such a wife for the outstanding-looking Battalion Commander Gu.

Although surprised, Hong Ling still gave a kind smile and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Come over to my place, shall I cook you some noodles?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Bangguo chimed in, "Yes, your sister-in-law's cooking is quite good."

She hasn't eaten anything since she left home this morning, and it's already 3 PM. She's definitely hungry.

Before Wen Tang could even exchange a few polite words, ...

"Cuckoo..."

The hungry stomach rumbled without warning.

Wen Tang isn't usually shy, but she blushed at this moment.

However, her face was covered in a grayish hue, making it appear red, so no one could tell.

Hong Ling quickly grabbed her hand, "Come on, I'll turn on the stove and boil some water, it'll be quick."

As Hong Ling spoke, she pulled the person directly into her home.

Shen Bangguo then took Wen Tang's belongings directly back to his own home.

Wen Tang sat in Shen Bangguo's house waiting for dinner, too embarrassed to say anything more about needing to wash her face.

Hong Ling was a very polite person. She not only made Wen Tang a bowl of scallion noodles, but also quickly stir-fried a dish.

Wen Tang thanked him repeatedly.

Hong Ling waved her hand, "It's not a fancy dish, but I'm glad you don't mind."

Wen Tang shook her head, "I don't mind at all, this is already very good. Thank you so much, sister-in-law, for making you go through all this trouble."

Hong Ling waved her hand again, "It's just a bowl of vegetarian noodles. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Wen Tang was indeed very hungry, so she didn't refuse any longer and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Her face felt hot, and she soon broke out in a sweat.

Hongling quickly brought her an electric fan, and she cooled down in no time.

Wen Tang looked at the electric fan with envy. She thought that she must buy an electric fan when she went back. Of course, the most important thing was to build a new house and run an electric wire, otherwise it would all be just wishful thinking.

While Wen Tang was eating, Shen Bangguo had something to do, so he went out first, leaving Hong Ling to keep her company.

Hong Ling nodded, "Don't worry!"

Gu Yanli returned to the army at around 4 p.m.

The messenger told him that his wife had arrived and that Deputy Regiment Commander Shen had taken her away.

Gu Yanli got out of the car and ran towards his residence.

When he arrived at Shen Bang's house, Wen Tang had just put down her chopsticks and was about to wash the dishes.

Hong Ling refused to allow it no matter what.

"This is your first time here, and you're only eating one meal here. Can't I afford to treat you?"

"Do I need you to wash the dishes for me?"

"If people find out, they'll laugh me to death!"

"No need to wash, no need to wash, sit for a while and talk."
