Chapter 376 First Meeting with Duan Zhao
When Su Nuannuan and her group arrived at the military region, Zhao Yalan was waiting for them at the entrance.

After half a month apart, Zhao Yalan's complexion was noticeably better than before, the melancholy between her brows and eyes had dissipated, and her cheeks radiated a unique glow.

Su Nuannuan could sense that Zhao Yalan was in a very good state.

Su Nuannuan was feeling good. Ever since Zhao Yalan and Duan Zhao had their conversation, their relationship had progressed rapidly. They both really enjoyed their current life.

Zhao Yalan was overjoyed to see Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

"Nuan Nuan, Ming Zhou, you've finally arrived."

Su Nuannuan stepped forward and gave Zhao Yalan a hug, smiling as she spoke.

“If we hadn’t been so busy these past few days, we would have come much earlier.”

Chu Mingzhou and his group followed behind, each carrying a burlap sack as they entered the military region.

Along the way, many people greeted Zhao Yalan warmly.

Zhao Yalan responded to each of them.

In the past two weeks, Zhao Yalan has become a prominent figure in the military region. No one had expected that Zhao Yalan was originally a university teacher.

Although they had heard many stories of university teachers being sent to lower levels, the situation in the Southern Province remained completely unaffected. Instead of thinking badly of Zhao Yalan, everyone thought she was quite remarkable.

What was once ignored and looked down upon has now turned into reverence.

Although they were uneducated, they understood a fundamental truth: education is the only way to a better future.

Many of the older women in the residential compound hoped that their children could be assigned to Zhao Yalan's class.

Watching Zhao Yalan chatting and laughing with the older women in the family compound with ease, Su Nuannuan was genuinely happy for her.

Compared to last time, Zhao Yalan is now more confident and smiles more often.

The group arrived home quickly. Everyone in the Duan family knew that Zhao Yalan and Chu Mingzhou were coming today, so they were all waiting at home.

Duan Zhao had someone exchange two old hens and two crucian carp early this morning, and he's busy in the kitchen now.

After marrying Zhao Yalan, Duan Zhao didn't just let her do the laundry and cooking. In his spare time, he would take over the household chores.

After tasting Duan Zhao's cooking for the first time, Zhao Yalan realized that Duan Zhao's cooking was the best in the family.

So this morning, Zhao Yalan directly asked Duan Zhao to go to the kitchen to cook for Su Nuannuan and the others.

Su Nuannuan felt that Duan Zhao was a good person from the first time she met him.

His features were calm yet held a sharp edge; his eyes were typical "peach blossom eyes," somewhat out of step with the prevailing aesthetics of the time. However, Su Nuannuan found Duan Zhao very handsome.

Duan Zhao's looks would have been a huge advantage in Su Nuannuan's previous life in the entertainment industry.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan was staring at Duan Zhao's face, Chu Mingzhou's eyebrows drooped, and he squeezed the back of Su Nuannuan's hand.

However, Chu Mingzhou didn't use any force; he just wanted to draw Su Nuannuan's attention back to Duan Zhao.

She felt a tingling, itchy sensation on her hand, and then she saw a slender hand playing tricks on it.

Su Nuannuan instantly understood what Chu Mingzhou meant, and found it somewhat amusing.

However, it is indeed not good to keep staring at the male homeowner.

Su Nuannuan instantly put on a well-behaved and gentle smile, greeted Duan Zhao, and said.

"This must be my brother-in-law. He's quite the handsome man."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Chu Mingzhou nodded to Duan Zhao and said.

"Hello, I am Chu Mingzhou, Yalan's younger brother. My mother and grandfather asked me to give you their greetings on his behalf."

When Zhao Yalan and Chu Minghe divorced, Chu Mingzhou changed his address to "Sister Yalan," and Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou voluntarily became Zhao Yalan's younger brother and sister.

Duan Zhao was initially a little awkward meeting his wife's former brother-in-law, but after hearing how Chu Mingzhou addressed Zhao Yalan, he immediately understood that Chu Mingzhou genuinely considered Zhao Yalan his older sister. At the same time, Duan Zhao also understood that Chu Mingzhou's words were a way of telling him that Zhao Yalan had him backing her.

Chu Wenzhu has fallen, but Ji Xiangjun is still here.

Duan Zhao felt that the Chu and Ji families were really good to his daughter-in-law.

Although there was the connection of her stepson, she genuinely wanted Zhao Yalan to have a better life.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were also very happy.

During this time, they witnessed firsthand how well Zhao Yalan and Duan Zhao's relationship was growing. Naturally, neither of them wanted anyone to interfere in their relationship.

The old couple were also reassured by Chu Mingzhou's address.

Duan Zhao was very skilled at dealing with people and quickly figured out the nature of everyone present.

He quickly noticed that Xiong Li and Xi Lun were unusual. In particular, the calluses on their right hands were impossible for Duan Zhao to ignore.

Just as Duan Zhao was beginning to doubt the identities of the two men, Xiong Li and Xi Lun shrewdly showed Duan Zhao their military IDs and mission credentials.

It was only then that Duan Zhao realized that his wife's former brother-in-law and current brother-in-law's identity was somewhat unusual.

After confirming that the two men's identities were legitimate, Duan Zhao felt relieved.

However, for safety's sake, Duan Zhao still found an excuse to tell the commander about it.

Duan Huaying was happiest when Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou arrived.

The young man is now 1.7 meters tall. He jogged over, excitedly hugged Chu Mingzhou, and said...

"Uncle, you've finally come to see me!"

Chu Mingzhou was not good with words, but when he was facing Duan Huaying, his expression softened. He gently patted Duan Huaying's head and said softly.

"Yes. I've grown taller and stronger."

On the other side, Su Nuannuan noticed that Duan Zhanji was hiding behind Zhao's father, secretly watching them with envious eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, Duan Zhanji only had Duan Zhao as a relative. He was physically weak, and no other children wanted to be close to him.

Duan Zhao had to go to work at the military base every day, and Zhou Weidang had to go to school, so he was all alone in the large courtyard. He was very lonely and longed for someone to keep him company.

When Duan Zhao heard that he was getting married and would have an older brother, Duan Zhao didn't feel sad at all; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation.

He also longed for his mother's care and his brother's company.

Zhao Yalan and Duan Huaying did not disappoint him. Zhao Yalan's gentleness, Duan Huaying's vitality, and the tenderness and love of Zhao's parents were all the kind of family affection that Duan Zhanji longed for.

He also really liked his aunt who brought him lots of delicious food.

Seeing the envious look in Duan Zhanji's eyes, Su Nuannuan waved to him and said.

"Little Zhanji, come here and let your auntie see if you've grown taller."

Su Nuannuan was beautiful, had a very approachable smile, and a gentle voice, which made Duan Zhanji blush instantly.

However, more than feeling shy, Duan Zhanji was secretly delighted.

It turns out that besides his family, there were other people who wanted to care about him.

Zhao's father could tell at a glance that Duan Zhanji was happy. He nudged the little guy with his hand and said with a smile.

"Go, Zhanji, let your aunt take a good look at you."

Zhao's father genuinely liked Duan Zhanji. The little guy was pitiful and kind, making it hard not to soften one's heart.
