After leaving the guesthouse,

With all the luggage on his shoulders, Li Wenzhu noticed a thin layer of snowflakes covering the ground in front of the door, so he deliberately freed one hand to hold hers.

The Gu family of three was already waiting by the car, their faces beaming with happiness.

Especially for Daya, it was her first time riding in a big car. Touching the enormous vehicle in front of her, she was even more excited than when she saw the village’s big yellow ox.

“Dad, doesn’t this iron thing need to eat grass?”

Gu Xiangbei lifted the little girl into the truck bed and grinned, “Let’s eat some oil!”

Daya grinned, showing off her eight little white teeth. “No wonder it’s stronger than the oxen in our village, able to pull so many people!”

Zhang Chun’e tapped the little girl’s forehead, then climbed into the car.

“Hey north, how long will it take us to get to the camp?”

Gu Xiangbei stood under the truck and tossed the mother and daughter’s luggage onto it before climbing into the truck bed. “About an hour. Our camp isn’t far; the road was just repaired this year.”

As soon as she finished speaking, two large bags of luggage were thrown into the truck. Then, Xu Zhizhi’s pretty face appeared at the back of the truck bed, and a pair of strong arms lifted her up by the bottom and put her directly into the truck bed.

Zhang Chun’e quickly reached out to pull her, “Sister, let’s sit in the front, it’s less bumpy there.”

Just look at how perceptive her man is! She climbed up here all by herself!

Helping Xu Zhizhi towards the front of the car, Li Wenzhu also jumped into the car, and the group sat together side by side.

Gu Xiangbei had his arm around his daughter, Daya, while Li Wenzhu had her arm around Xu Zhizhi.

Only Zhang Chun’e seemed like an outsider.

However, she wasn’t jealous; there was no one in the village who cherished their daughter as much as Xiang Bei did.

For this reason alone, Zhang Chun’e was determined to have this man. Now that she has joined the army, she plans to recover her health and give birth to eight big, healthy sons for Xiang Bei.

After sitting for a while, people started getting into the car one after another, mostly military wives who were coming into the city with the shopping truck.

“Isn’t that Battalion Commander Li?”

“Is that his wife in his arms? She’s really beautiful!”

An older woman couldn’t stand it and rolled her eyes to the sky.

“What’s the use of Jun? He looks dull and simple-minded, he might even be an idiot. I wouldn’t be happy if my Zhou Wu married someone like that!”

Who wouldn’t be silly enough to let a man hug them like that in public? Aren’t they ashamed?

The wives of the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard what Aunt Zhou said.

There are two demonstration camps in the group.

One was the Fierce Tiger Battalion led by Li Wenzhu, and the other was the Lion Battalion led by Zhou Da Niang’s son, Zhou Wu.

Everyone knows that these two are rivals, both eyeing the position of deputy regimental commander!

Hearing Aunt Zhou say that, the military wives all shut up and moved aside to watch the show.

When the time was almost up, the orderly went around to the back of the vehicle and locked the doors.

Aunt Zhou immediately stood up and stopped her.

“Young man, my daughter hasn’t arrived yet. She’s the camp’s medic. Please wait a little longer!”

The orderly advised, “The vehicle must leave on time; otherwise, it will delay our mission at the next procurement point.”

“Auntie, we also have our own schedules. We need to pick up people at the next stop soon.”

Aunt Zhou was unhappy. She jumped off the car, walked around to the front of the car, and lay down on the ground.

“No, the car can’t leave until my daughter arrives!”

Seeing this, the military wives pursed their lips, knowing they dared not provoke them.

This is the train station, a place with a lot of people coming and going, and oxcarts, donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, and freight cars frequently pass by. The orderly, fearing something might really happen, quickly ran to the front of the cart to persuade it to stop.

“Auntie, the army has strict discipline. We have to buy the supplies on time. Besides, all these women are waiting!”

Aunt Zhou didn’t care. “Eating later won’t make us starve. Military wives are all idle. What’s wrong with eating later? My daughter is a military doctor!”

Although he was cursing, he still managed to stand up from the ground, simply because the ground was cold.

However, even after standing up, the old lady didn’t forget to lean against the front of the car, since she couldn’t walk anyway.

One person in one car, stuck in a stalemate for about ten minutes, until the belated military doctor finally arrived.

Zhou Tian, carrying large and small bags, spotted a military green Dongfeng truck in the distance. According to her description in the book, she was on this truck heading to the military base, and it was here that she met the male protagonist who had returned injured.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian straightened her coat collar and tidied her hair.

Just thinking about the male protagonist’s appearance in the book made her heart pound.

There’s a certain excitement about pen pals meeting in person.

“Tian Tian? Oh my, my daughter…”

When Aunt Zhou saw her daughter, her face immediately lit up with joy. Heaven had been kind to her; she had given birth to a wonderful son and a daughter. Her son was the battalion commander of the Lion Battalion, and her daughter had studied medicine and become a military doctor.

She came here this time to find partners for her two children.

Aunt Zhou deftly took her daughter’s luggage and then pulled Zhou Tian into the car.

Using his massive body, he squeezed into the front of the car in a few quick movements, making room for Zhou Tian, which drew complaints from those around him.

“Auntie, don’t push, there’s enough room!”

“Daughter, sit down!”

Zhou Tian kept searching for her target in the crowd, but the bus was packed with people, and the ride was bumpy and swaying, so she couldn’t find Li Wenzhu at all.

The swaying lights made her dizzy and she had no time to look for the male lead.

When you get to your destination, you’ll inevitably encounter it.

Fortunately, the truck was fast, and an hour later, the whole truckload of people finally arrived at the camp.

A few years ago, the Heilongjiang Production Corps was abolished and divided into the Second Division and Qingshan Farm.

Li Wenzhu’s Independent Regiment was located at the headquarters of the Second Division, while the Qingshan Farm where Li’s parents lived was separated from them only by a newly built road.

To the left is a military camp, with sandy roads, cement ground, and training grounds, all filled with loud shouts.

To the right is a farm, where as far as the eye can see, there is golden wheat. It is the autumn harvest season, and people are bustling about in the vast wheat fields.

The Dongfeng truck slowly drove along the middle of the road. The farmers occasionally looked up and knew it was a truck from the camp across the way. It would come to the city every Thursday, so they were used to it and went back to work on their winter food supplies.

The vehicle came to a stop at the camp, and the military wives jumped out of the vehicle in a flurry, carrying their belongings back to the nearby family compound.

Just then, the whistle signaled the start of lunch break, and the soldiers on the training ground rushed to the mess hall in a swarm.

It was at this moment that Xu Zhizhi was carried out of the car by Li Wenzhu.

“Wait here while I get my luggage.”

Xu Zhizhi caught up with her, “I can help!”

“Don’t move, I can manage on my own.”

As Li Wenzhu spoke, she slipped Xu Zhizhi a peach shortbread, saying, “Have something to eat if you’re hungry. After you get your things, let’s go home!”

At this moment, Da Ya was also carried out of the car by Gu Xiangbei.

Xu Zhizhi generously shared half a peach shortbread with Da Ya, and the two of them, one big and one small, stared blankly at the adults busy at work.

Zhou Tian, who had been feeling dizzy the whole way, finally came to her senses. She had a lot of luggage, and besides, she didn’t like to rely on others. So, while carrying things out of the car, she asked her mother to go downstairs to catch them.

So busy I was dizzy

When she finally had a chance to stand up and catch her breath, she turned her head and saw a fair-skinned woman sitting on a rock eating peach shortbread, and standing next to her was the male protagonist, Li Wenzhu, who was carrying luggage!

Zhou Tian’s first reaction was that it was impossible!

She rubbed her eyes hard, then opened them again.

My gaze lingered on the face of the man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and outstanding appearance. He had heroic eyebrows, deep eyes, and slightly pursed thin lips.

That aura, that appearance—he’s clearly the male lead!

Turning her head to look at Xu Zhizhi’s beautiful face again, Zhou Tian’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

In the book, Xu Zhizhi is portrayed as a beautiful but brainless supporting character, and judging from her current silly grinning expression, it’s the same as the original character.

However, in the book, when she, as the female lead, meets the male lead, Xu Zhizhi doesn’t appear at all.

Could it be that my transmigration into the book caused a deviation in the plot?

Will she still be able to marry the male lead and reach the pinnacle of her life?

“Hello, would you like some peach shortbread?”

Xu Zhizhi also noticed Zhou Tian. To put it simply, the Zhou Tian in the book is a heavily filtered version of her colleague Zhou Tian. Although their eyebrows and eyes are similar, they look like two different people at first glance.

Since we’ve encountered this situation, let’s just follow the established persona.

She’s a beautiful fool, she has to be foolish.

“Thank you, sister-in-law. I am Zhou Tian, the new military doctor.”

Zhou Tian smiled along, thinking, “That silly beauty is definitely right.”

Although he didn’t know why Xu Zhizhi hadn’t divorced, there was no need to clash with her now. His gaze fell on her slightly protruding belly.

“Sister-in-law, are you pregnant? I majored in gynecology in college, that’s great!”
