Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 56 Her body was held tightly in his arms.
Worried about Wenrou's pregnant health, Huo Yanchuan disregarded his own injuries, got out of bed, changed his clothes, threw away his crutches, and went straight to find the political commissar.
Political Commissar Zhao had just seen Wenrou off and had barely sat down when Huo Yanchuan barged in without even knocking.
"What mission did you send Hao Gang with Wenrou on? She's pregnant! I'm her husband, why didn't you tell me first?"
Political Commissar Zhao had already experienced Huo Yanchuan's temper firsthand the day he arrived at the army.
"Why are you here? Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't let it reopen." Political Commissar Zhao said with a headache and concern.
"This injury is nothing. Where did Wenrou go?" Huo Yanchuan asked Political Commissar Zhao with urgency in his voice.
This was the first time Political Commissar Zhao had ever seen him so anxious; usually, he was the calmest person in any situation.
But now, for the sake of gentleness, Huo Yanchuan can't care about anything else.
After hesitating, he had no choice but to tell Huo Yanchuan about Wenrou going to get the car repaired.
"What? You're telling her to go fix the car?" Huo Yanchuan's face darkened even more upon hearing Political Commissar Zhao's words.
Seeing this, Political Commissar Zhao quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, this was her own request. She was worried about your injury and didn't want to be notified. She also said she was confident she could fix it."
Political Commissar Zhao was also afraid of Huo Yanchuan's temper, so he explained to him before he lost his temper.
Huo Yanchuan was shocked to hear what Political Commissar Zhao said.
He knew Wenrou could drive a truck, but he didn't expect her to be able to fix cars too.
Even so, he was still worried.
"Arrange a car for me," he said to Political Commissar Zhao, frowning.
"Your injury..." Political Commissar Zhao was still a little worried because Huo Yanchuan was such a troublemaker.
Huo Yanchuan didn't seem to care at all, saying, "This injury is nothing."
In the end, Political Commissar Zhao had no choice but to agree.
Huo Yanchuan left the army and, without delay, drove straight to find Wenrou.
Wenrou and Hao Gang drove for more than three hours before finally arriving at their destination.
"You've finally arrived!" Upon seeing the military vehicles arrive, the people transporting the supplies hurriedly ran towards them.
Wenrou got out of the car carrying the repair kit. When the man saw that there were only two people, and that it wasn't Huo Yanchuan, his excited expression immediately deflated.
"Why isn't Commander Huo here? What are we going to do if he doesn't come?"
At this moment, Hao Gang walked over with Wenrou and introduced her, "This is Platoon Leader Wu, who is in charge of transporting goods and supplies."
She nodded gently, walked up to him, and asked directly, "What's wrong with the car?"
"Who...who are you?" Platoon Leader Wu was slightly taken aback when he saw that Wenrou was a female comrade, and asked in confusion.
Seeing that he was rambling on and on, Wenrou had no choice but to explain, "Didn't you say you needed your car repaired? I'm a car mechanic, so take me there now."
Upon hearing Wenrou's words, Platoon Leader Wu's confusion turned into shock, and then into disbelief.
He looked at Hao Gang, as if seeking his explanation.
No, is that right?
He needed someone who could repair trucks, so why did they send a woman to him?
She just said she needed to fix the car, isn't she just messing with him?
She's a woman who stays at home taking care of the kids and doing housework, let alone repairing cars. Could she even understand the workings of a car?
Seeing the suspicious look on Platoon Leader Wu's face, Wenrou was too lazy to explain to him at this point.
The weather is currently very windy and dusty, the sand is so strong that it's impossible to open your eyes.
As expected, the Black Wind is coming soon.
If they stay here any longer, they'll probably get buried in the sand.
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she had heard about it in the news in her previous life.
Black Wind is the most destructive sandstorm, and she doesn't want to lose her life here.
So she ignored Platoon Leader Wu and walked past him with her repair kit toward the truck.
Upon seeing this, Platoon Leader Wu quickly followed behind Wenrou.
"What...what are you going to do?"
What's wrong with this woman? What if she doesn't know how to fix the car and ends up damaging it?
Hao Gang hurriedly followed, putting his hand on Platoon Leader Wu's shoulder. "Trust her."
"Does she really know how to fix cars? Who exactly is she?" Platoon Leader Wu became even more curious when he saw that even Hao Gang trusted her so much.
Hao Gang looked at Wenrou and shook his head. "I don't know either."
He had never seen Wenrou repair cars before, but judging from her confident expression, she probably could.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken on this task, especially in such a harsh environment.
"Go help," Hao Gang said to Platoon Leader Wu, and then followed Wenrou over.
Hearing Hao Gang's words, Platoon Leader Wu walked over with some skepticism.
Wenrou took the flashlight and carefully checked the truck's tires. She found that the tires were all fine and there was nothing wrong with them.
He then walked over to the hood of the truck, opened the repair kit, and skillfully took out a crowbar.
She turned to Hao Gang and Platoon Leader Wu and said, "The car must have broken down. Can you help me pry open the hood?"
Platoon Leader Wu still hadn't given up waiting for Huo Yanchuan, so he looked at Hao Gang, wanting to ask him when Commander Huo would arrive, and saw Hao Gang immediately roll up his sleeves and start helping.
Seeing that the sandstorm was getting worse, Platoon Leader Wu had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
After the two of them helped Wenrou pry open the hood, they saw a bunch of parts inside, which they didn't understand.
Just then, they saw Wenrou begin to inspect each part with a serious expression.
Platoon Leader Wu couldn't help but wonder, "She's watching so intently, is she sure she can understand everything?"
How could a lesbian like her possibly understand these things?
After a gentle examination, she quickly identified the cause of the problem.
She took a wrench out of the repair kit, ready to make a repair, when she was stopped by Platoon Leader Wu.
"Are you...are you sure you can really find the problem? Don't make it worse by fixing it and cause us new trouble."
He was also worried that she might pretend to know what she didn't, and if she messed things up, he would have to take responsibility.
Wenrou raised her head and stared intently at Platoon Leader Wu. Although she didn't speak, her gaze carried a powerful and sharp sense of pressure, causing Wu to unconsciously shut his mouth.
At this moment, he became even more curious about Wenrou's identity.
Her eyes look just like Huo Tuan's, making people tremble with fear.
Wenrou took the wrench, precisely located the loose screw, and quickly tightened it.
Besides that, she also noticed the water tank was leaking, so she looked at Platoon Leader Wu and asked, "Is there any soap on the truck?"
"I think I have some, I'll go get it for you."
After he finished speaking, he went to find soap for Wenrou. He didn't even know why he suddenly became so obedient to her.
Perhaps it was the confident and powerful aura she exuded that completely convinced him, or perhaps it was because her car repair skills were so proficient. In any case, he dared not delay any longer at this point.
He could already feel the sandstorm growing stronger; if he hadn't been holding onto the car, he probably would have been swept away.
Wenrou stood there for a while, holding the repair kit with one hand and gripping the side of the hood tightly with the other to prevent herself from being blown away by the wind and sand.
She is strong and can keep going.
After Platoon Leader Wu found the soap, he gently broke off a small piece and plugged the small hole in the water tank.
She then found some water and refilled the tank.
"Try it now," she said to Platoon Leader Wu after confirming that there were no other problems.
Upon seeing this, Platoon Leader Wu instinctively got into the car and started the engine again.
This time, the car made a "humming" sound and then miraculously started.
"Alright, it's started!" Platoon Leader Wu shouted excitedly to Wenrou and Hao Gang from inside the car, seeing that the vehicle was fixed.
At this moment, he had forgotten how he had questioned Wenrou, and was completely immersed in the joy of the car starting up again.
Upon hearing Platoon Leader Wu's voice, Wenrou and Hao Gang worked together to close the car's hood.
By the time they finished doing all that, the sandstorm was about to sweep in.
Wenrou looked up at the dark mass overhead; a huge shadow instantly descended, and the sandstorm blew even harder than before.
She is now clinging to the side of the truck with both hands to prevent herself from being swept away.
At this moment, large grains of sand hit my face like knives, cutting into my skin painfully.
But she couldn't care less about that now. All she could do was use her hands to keep herself from being swept away. She didn't care about anything else. So what if it hurt?
Hao Gang, his eyes stinging from the sandstorm, called out to Wenrou with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
He brought the person out, so of course he has to send them back safely, otherwise how can he explain it to the commander?
As Hao Gang asked Wenrou, he slowly moved his body toward her.
Wenrou realized that Hao Gang wanted to come and help her, so she shouted loudly, "I'm fine, don't come any closer."
At this point, she could only look after herself; she didn't want Hao Gang to get dragged down because of her.
Just then, a bright light flashed in the distance and drove towards them.
Seeing this, Wenrou subconsciously looked in the direction of the light.
She saw the car getting closer and closer to her, until it drove right in front of her.
The car door opened, and a tall figure stepped out and walked directly toward her.
As the person slowly approached, Wenrou finally saw clearly that it was Huo Yanchuan.
How did he end up here? His injuries haven't fully healed yet.
Wearing goggles to protect against the wind and sand, and carrying a heavy load on his back, Huo Yanchuan moved step by step toward her.
Seeing Wenrou finally put Huo Yanchuan at ease.
He was worried about Wenrou's situation the whole way, especially when he saw the sandstorm getting stronger and stronger and getting closer and closer, which made him even more anxious.
She worried that Wenrou would be swept away by the sandstorm, worried about her health, and worried about the two children in her belly.
So on the way, he stepped on the gas pedal as fast as he could, just to get to her side as soon as possible and protect her.
Now that he was finally by her side, Huo Yanchuan's heart, which had been pounding all the way, finally calmed down.
The moment he moved closer to Wenrou, he couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to pull her tightly into his arms.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Are you alright?" Huo Yanchuan apologized to Wenrou immediately. As her husband, it was indeed his fault for not being there to protect her right away.
Wenrou felt the man's firm yet warm chest, knowing that with him there, she was safe.
However, thinking of Huo Yanchuan's leg injury, she still asked worriedly, "Your injury?"
"My injuries have healed long ago, so don't think about it now. Let's wait for the sandstorm to pass."
As he spoke, his chest heaved, and his deep voice made her eardrums feel tingly.
She was being held tightly by Huo Yanchuan, their bodies almost pressed together. She could even feel his warm, moist breath on her neck, which gave her goosebumps.
At this moment, she finally realized the importance of Huo Yanchuan's existence, and he also shared the equipment he was carrying with Hao Gang.
After all, they were already familiar with the environment here and knew what to do in this situation.
She completely trusted Huo Yanchuan, and subconsciously reached out to hug him, closing her eyes tightly as she waited for the sandstorm to pass.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she felt that she was completely buried in sand, Huo Yanchuan reached out and gently lifted her up a little.
They waited there for over an hour before the sandstorm finally subsided a bit.
When Wenrou opened her eyes again, her entire body was buried in the sand.
Huo Yanchuan also moved at this moment. With gentleness, he crawled out of the sand step by step.
"Are you alright?" Huo Yanchuan asked worriedly, noticing that Wenrou's face was somewhat pale.
Wenrou shook her head gently. "It's nothing. It's probably just from the sandstorm. It'll be fine after a while."
This was her first time experiencing a sandstorm firsthand, and she realized how difficult it is for people living here.
"Let's go home." Huo Yanchuan reached out and tightly pulled Wenrou along, walking towards the car.
At this point, half of the car was buried in sand.
Huo Yanchuan walked over, cleared the sand from in front of the car door, opened the door, and got in.
He quickly started the car and drove it out of the sand pit.
Seeing that Hao Gang and Platoon Leader Wu were also fine, he told them and then took Wenrou back first.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Hao, that female comrade is...?"
Platoon Leader Wu witnessed everything that just happened.
He had known Huo Tuan for so many years, but this was the first time he had ever seen a female comrade so nervous.
And I heard that he was injured, but he still drove over to protect that woman.
In the past, they had all witnessed Huo Tuan's aloofness towards women.
At that time, when the cultural troupe came to perform here, a female comrade took a liking to him, but he didn't even give her a glance.
What he said was particularly hurtful to that woman.
They all thought that Huo Tuan would probably remain a bachelor for the rest of his life, but to their surprise, he even skipped the blind date stage and got married directly, which shocked his brothers in the army.
"She is Huo Yanchuan's lover, Comrade Wenrou," Hao Gang introduced to Platoon Leader Wu as Huo Yanchuan's car drove away.
