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

Gu Yanli wiped his hands and said, "There are still some at home. I brought these few for my sister-in-law and the old company commander to try. There aren't many."

As Gu Yanli spoke, Wei Hongtao's wife, Wang Zhihua, had already untied the burlap sack.

Inside were two lively rabbits hopping around, and a listless pheasant with its head tilted to one side.

These were all specially selected by Gu Yanli, plump and full of energy.

So even now, it's still very watchable.

Wang Zhihua was delighted at first sight, exclaiming, "Wow, this rabbit is so fat!"

"Old Wei, come quick and take a look!"

Wei Hongtao got up and walked over.

Gu Yanli then took the water he had washed his hands and went out to pour it out.

As he carried the water past Wei Hongtao and Wang Zhihua, Wei Hongtao quickly said, "Just put it there."

Wang Zhihua also turned around and said, "How can I let you pour this? You leave it there, I'll do it."

Gu Yanli naturally couldn't put it down. He didn't even stop walking, just smiled and said, "I'm not an outsider."

After he said that, Wang Zhihua didn't snatch the basin from his hand, but just let him pour the water onto the snow pile in the yard.

After pouring out the water and placing the basin on the basin stand by the door, Gu Yanli went back into the house. Wei Hongtao said, "I'll kill this rabbit later. Have your sister-in-law make a hot pot for lunch. You can eat here for lunch, and I'll have a good drink with you. It's been years since we last met."

When Gu Yanli returned before, he visited Wei Hongtao, but later Wei Hongtao gained a foothold in his hometown and his official position gradually rose, so Gu Yanli stopped visiting as often.

Of course, he rarely goes home either.

Wei Hongtao invited him to stay for dinner, and Gu Yanli didn't refuse, saying, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, what's the trouble?"

"You sit and talk with Lao Wei, I'll go prepare some hot water right away."

Wang Zhihua quickly boiled the water. Gu Yanli didn't let Wei Hongtao kill the rabbit; he skillfully killed and skinned it himself.

When Gu Yanli was killing the rabbit, someone knocked on the Wei family's door, but Wei Hongtao didn't even show his face before Wang Zhihua sent the person away.

While Gu Yanli was helping to chop the rabbit, someone else arrived. This time, Wei Hongtao showed up, but still didn't let anyone in.

The other party tried to slip a gift inside, but Wei Hongtao refused with a stern expression.

Then he told Wang Zhihua, "If anyone else comes, just say I went out."

Wang Zhihua nodded, but also said, "It's almost noon, so I don't think anyone will come."

As she spoke, she continued working in the kitchen.

Wei Hongtao complained to Gu Yanli, "It's better to be in the army, it's quiet."

"I'm back, and all the social obligations are so annoying."

Gu Yanli lowered his eyelashes and said, "There are advantages to coming back; I can take care of the family."

Looking at his expression and listening to his words, Wei Hongtao tentatively asked, "You...you want to come back?"

Gu Yanli remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

Wei Hongtao was puzzled. "I remember when you came here before, you were promoted to company commander. Haven't you been promoted in the last few years?" Wei Hongtao didn't believe it.

Gu Yanli is quick-witted, physically fit, and excels in all aspects; I knew that even when he was mentoring him.

Gu Yanli did indeed rise through the ranks as if he were riding a train.

When he came to visit him that year, he was only 22 years old and already a company commander. This year... Wei Hongtao did a quick calculation and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would at least be a deputy battalion commander!

As a result, Gu Yanli nodded and said, "Yes, I've leveled up two times."

"Two levels..."

Wei Hongtao raised his hand and punched him, "You little rascal, you're really something, keeping me in suspense."

"how old are you?"

"If I remember correctly, 28?"

Gu Yanli nodded. "Yes, it's after the New Year, I'll be 28."

Wei Hongtao patted him on the shoulder, "At 28, you're already a battalion commander, kid... you really have a bright future ahead of you!"

He was forced to resign back then because he couldn't get promoted.

He wouldn't have come back if he hadn't been stuck in the same place for years.

"You came back with such good conditions..." Wei Hongtao's face was full of confusion.

But Gu Yanli was clearly preoccupied.

Wei Hongtao then invited the person to sit down again and poured them tea.

Gu Yanli held his teacup, staring at the slowly rising steam, before finally opening up, "I got married the year before last."

"get married?"

"You little rascal, how come you didn't even tell me about something this big?"

Gu Yanli touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed, and said, "The marriage happened rather suddenly."

After he finished speaking, Wei Hongtao suddenly thought of something and asked, "You only got married the year before last?"

"26?"

"Ok!"

"Oh, I see. She must have been tied up by her uncle and aunt at home."

Gu Yanli took a sip of tea and shook his head. "Not really, it just happened by chance."

"However, we get along quite well in terms of temperament."

“That’s a good thing,” Wei Hongtao said.

Gu Yanli nodded, but while stroking his teacup, he said, "It's just that we're too far away to take care of you properly."

Wei Hongtao then said, "Why not let someone accompany the army?"

Gu Yanli is not only outstanding in ability, but also exceptionally handsome. He is impeccable in both height and temperament.

For a man like him to be attracted to a woman, she must be an exceptionally outstanding person.

When you're home alone like this, it's inevitable that one or two people will be oblivious to your surroundings.

When asked why he didn't accompany his parents to the army, Gu Yanli said, "Originally, she thought that my parents were getting old and I wasn't home, so she could take care of them for me if she were there!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongtao gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Good wife!"

"Yes, and she's very capable. She's currently making soap and promoting it to the outside world with the commune."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongtao looked surprised. He raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute..." He thought for a moment, "I remember now."

"They said before that our county would have its own soap factory. I vaguely remember it came from your family's commune."

"You mean your wife did it?" Wei Hongtao was completely shocked.

Gu Yanli nodded with a slight, humble smile.

Wei Hongtao gave a thumbs up again.

Then Wei Hongtao asked, "Is this because you want to come back and help your wife stabilize her career?"

Gu Yanli shook his head, "I know nothing about this, and I won't be of any help when I get back."

"But if someone bullies her when she comes back, I won't be too far away to help."

Wei Hongtao's expression turned serious. "I heard that the county is quite supportive of this matter!"

Gu Yanli nodded. "Yes, there are always some people who want to make a quick buck, and they'll do things even if they have to close their eyes."

Wei Hongtao immediately asked, "Who are they?"

"The county attaches great importance to this matter, yet they still dare to act so recklessly; it's simply lawless."

Gu Yanli gripped his teacup tightly, hesitating whether to speak.

Wei Hongtao then asked, "Don't you trust me?"

Gu Yanli shook his head, "Of course I trust the company commander."

Wei Hongtao raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder; the silence spoke volumes.

Gu Yanli then recounted the events.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongtao slammed his hand on the coffee table in anger. "These lawless bastards are utterly lawless!"
