A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

She calculated that from this point on, she probably wouldn't be coming to Guangyun City again for about six months, so she needed to buy more this time.

If you were to go to the Northwest to accompany the army during your childbirth, you would need to be even more prepared.

Qiao An bought several hundred kilograms of dried goods, including fish maw, abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, dried oysters, and dried squid, from a dried goods vendor.

She also got a batch of top-grade dried tangerine peel, dendrobium, codonopsis, polygonatum, wolfberry, red dates, and lingzhi from the herbal medicine shop.

I also bought a lot of nourishing medicinal herbs. Besides keeping some for myself during my postpartum period, I can use the rest as gifts or sell them for money.

The lychees in Guangyun City are delicious, but Feng Sanqiang complained that they don't keep well and he couldn't give them to his grandmother to eat if he took them back.

Qiao An has a spatial ability that can preserve lychees, but if Grandma Feng Sanqiang were to eat fresh lychees, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Just when Feng Sanqiang had given up on bringing lychees, the herbal medicine vendor told them that there was a market in Guangyun City where they could buy Guangyun City's specialty ingredients.

Qiao An took Feng Sanqiang and Xiao Lei to take a look, and they actually had an unexpected discovery.

Although they can't bring fresh lychees back, dried lychees will do.

There are many interesting ingredients in the market, most of which Joan has never tried before.

Anyway, I brought enough money, so I'll buy it first and see what happens later. I'm sure I'll need it someday.

So she bought fifty catties of each of dried lychees, dried lemons, and dried chayote.

Then there's kudzu root and various dried vegetables used for making soups and stews.

On the last day, Qiao An bought five hundred electronic watches, one hundred radios, and one hundred table fans from a middleman introduced by Dong Dahai.

Qiao An had Feng Sanqiang rent a small warehouse to store the goods they were selling.

On the last day, she sent Feng Sanqiang and Xiao Lei away.

He took the opportunity to store the goods in the warehouse into his spatial storage.

When Feng Sanqiang and the others returned, Qiao An lied and said that the workers had already transported the goods and loaded them onto the train.

They returned to Zhongchuan Province.

Joan rushed into her house and began calculating how much of the supplies she would sell and how much she would keep for herself.

After spending a good amount of time calculating, she and Yu Linzhou applied for an abandoned warehouse and neatly arranged the dried goods and electronic products they planned to sell.

In a few days, notify Feng Sanqiang and the others to come and pick it up.

After doing all this, she suddenly remembered something.

She hadn't told Huo Jiyun about her pregnancy yet.

Writing letters is too slow.

Qiao An went to the post office to send a telegram to Huo Jiyun.

Back in the army, Huo Jiyun thought about Qiao An every day.

I think about it while eating, and I think about it while sleeping.

Even at work, she would daydream about Qiao An.

His hands were trembling when he saw the telegram.

Seeing his excitement, Political Commissar Huang Minsheng joked, "What good news? Is your wife pregnant?"

Huo Jiyun suddenly looked up, a rare smile appearing on his usually serious face.

"That's right, my wife is pregnant."

"Wow! This is fantastic news!" Huang Minsheng clapped his hands.

"You're pretty good, it broke down in less than three months after you got home."

"But you went back and were busy helping capture enemy agents, and you were seriously injured. Did you still have time to hug your wife?"

Huang Minsheng and he have been partners for many years, and the two have always spoken without any reservations.

"I wasn't injured for three months. Can't we do what a couple should do after I've recovered?" Huo Jiyun glared at him irritably.

"Alright, alright, come over to our place tonight for a couple of drinks. Have your sister-in-law cook a few extra dishes to celebrate."

"Okay." After saying that, Huo Jiyun smiled again.

So on this day, everyone in the military compound noticed that Huo Jiyun, the cold-faced devil, was acting strangely.

He usually has a cold face towards everyone, but today he actually smiled.

Especially Huo Jiyun's subordinates, when they saw their commander laughing at them, their hair stood on end.

Huo Jiyun stayed for dinner at Huang Minsheng's house that night. Deng Hongjuan was Huang Minsheng's wife, a straightforward and naive person.

The two had drunk too much and didn't hide their conversation from Deng Hongjuan.

Deng Hongjuan soon learned that Huo Jiyun's wife was pregnant, and even deduced from his words that Qiao An should already be two months pregnant.

The next day, news that Huo Jiyun was going to be a father again spread throughout the entire military compound.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; Huo Jiyun doesn't mind others knowing.

After learning about this, Wu Yingguo, the commander of the Northwest Army, summoned Huo Jiyun and Brigade Commander Qi Yunsheng to the headquarters.

Wu Xingguo is over fifty years old, wearing a military uniform. He is neither fat nor thin, and has strong features.

He gestured for Huo Jiyun and Qi Yunsheng to sit down.

"Huo Jiyun's wife is already very pregnant, but the matter of her accompanying him to the military headquarters hasn't been settled yet?"

Qi Yunsheng was still wondering when Commander Wu had started caring about such trivial matters.

"He hasn't seen his wife for four years, and now she's pregnant again. If Ji Yun isn't there for the delivery, he really hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband at all."

Wu Yingguo lit a cigarette. "We can't let the families of our soldiers down."

Qi Yunsheng was also in a bit of a dilemma, because the approval process for military dependent reports was very complicated, including political review, file transfer, household registration, transfer of children's school registration, and resettlement of military dependents, all of which required approval step by step.

"Commander Wu, I'll go to the Political Department again and urge them on," Qi Yunsheng said vaguely.

"If you go and urge them, those people will probably drag their feet for another month."

Wu Yingguo snorted and immediately picked up the phone to call the Political Department.

As soon as the call connected, before the person on the other end could even say two words, Wu Yingguo launched into a tirade of criticism.

Huo Jiyun and Qi Yunsheng felt a deep sense of sympathy for each other.

"—Smack!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yingguo flicked his cigarette ash.

"Tell your wife to get ready and come over next month."

"I'll give you a pass so your luggage and furniture can go through the military passage."

Huo Jiyun quickly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Commander!"

Wu Yingguo complained, "And you too, the application for military dependent status took more than half a year to process, the approval process is so slow, and you didn't even tell me. It's just a matter of a few words, isn't it?"

"You're busy with work, it's not worth telling you about such a small thing," Huo Jiyun said, rubbing his hands together.

"Hmph! Alright! Go back and get ready to pick up your wives. You two get out of here."

"Why!"

Huo Jiyun and Qi Yunsheng were already used to Wu Yingguo's temper.

Wu Yingguo would only curse at his own people.

Therefore, in the Northwest Army, if someone was scolded by Wu Yingguo, they would be secretly delighted.

"Sometimes I envy you, kid. Commander Wu really likes you. He promoted you to regimental commander, which is already a big deal, and he even cares about your military service."

"Brigade Commander, don't you like me quite a bit too?" Huo Jiyun said in a serious tone.

"Get out! Get out!" Qi Yunsheng disgustedly shoved him aside.

"I'll head out now. I need to hurry back and clean the house again; my wife likes it clean."

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

"I don't know who it was, but they changed their clothes as soon as they came in. It was just because my sister-in-law said that you can't sit on the sofa if you're wearing outer clothes."

"Sigh, I've been stuck with an incompetent boss, so I'm destined to be an incompetent subordinate."

"Don't you dare run! I'm going to beat you to death today, you brat!"

"Huo Jiyun! You stop right there!"

Huo Jiyun ran very fast and disappeared in no time.

Qi Yunsheng was panting, but there was no anger on his face.

"After going home, he's become much more lively; his sister-in-law is quite good at disciplining him."
