The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

After discussing the matter, Lao Lu handed the man over to them, while he led another team to rescue Qin Xiang'an.

Qin Xiang'an's side is running low on ammunition; he was just shot in the arm while protecting a comrade.

"Old Qin, what do we do now? I'm running low on ammunition." Old Chen, a comrade, checked their ammunition and found they were almost out.

"Looks like we're not going back today. Do you regret staying with me?" Qin Xiang'an leaned against the tree and asked them.

He was the one who brought them out, but this time he probably won't be able to bring them back.

"What are you saying? Every time we go on a mission, we risk our lives. You're underestimating us. Do you think we're afraid of dying?"

"That's right, even if that gun were pointed at my head, I wouldn't even blink. The only problem is, I haven't gotten married yet, and I don't even have a son," Old Zhu said with some regret.

"Before I went on this mission, my mother said she had found me a beautiful blind date and that I should meet her when I go back on my next vacation. It seems that I really can't go back this time." Old Fang also felt a little regretful.

"None of us have wives. Only Lao Qin is lucky. He even got married when he went home last time," Lao Chen said with a hint of envy.

At least Lao Qin got married, while the rest of them were all single.

But this is for the best, so they won't have to worry about what will happen to their wives and children if they die.

When Qin Xiang'an heard what Old Chen said, he also remembered the wife he had married a few months ago.

He was urgently recalled to his unit the day after their wedding.

He didn't know if his adoptive parents were good to her. He had been thinking that once he finished his mission and returned home, he would submit a report to the army to apply for a family compound so that she could come and live with him.

But now I'm afraid I really can't go back.

Just as they were running out of ammunition and supplies and were surrounded by the enemy, the sound of "bang bang bang" came from their side.

The enemy was caught off guard by the unexpected reinforcements and scattered in all directions.

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Xiang'an and the others quickly lay down and looked towards the source of the sound.

Upon seeing this, Old Chen burst into laughter and exclaimed, "It's Old Lu! He's brought reinforcements! We're saved!"

They all saw it, and smiles appeared on their faces without prior arrangement.

"That old man, thank goodness he arrived with his men in time, otherwise we would all be dead here."

Old Lu returned with his men. They had plenty of ammunition, and the enemy, seeing their overwhelming firepower, quickly retreated.

Old Lu led his men to their side. Seeing that they were all alright except for Old Qin, who had been shot in the arm, he was immediately relieved.

"Alright, Lao Lu, if you had come any later, we would have really been done for." Old Zhu laughed and punched him.

"I met them on the road. One group of them escorted the experts and the wounded comrades back, while I brought the other group to rescue you. Luckily, I arrived in time."

Lao Lu himself felt fortunate that they were all alright.

"Captain, how's your hand?"

Lao Lu noticed the injury on Qin Xiang'an's arm.

"It's nothing, I was just hit by a gun. We'll just go back and get the bullet out."

Qin Xiang'an didn't take the injury on his arm seriously at all. Such injuries were commonplace during missions; as long as his teammates were alright, that was all that mattered.

"Let's hurry up and leave, lest those bastards bring their men back to fight us again."

Seeing that they outnumbered them, those people dared not linger and had already run away.

They need to get out of here quickly.

Shen Jingyue, who was far away in the military family compound, was completely unaware of what was happening here.

Tan Jianguo has already spoken to his superiors about Shen Jingyue's situation.

Once the leadership confirmed that she was Qin Xiang'an's family member and that she was pregnant, they specially approved her application for a family housing unit.

The houses here are all single-story buildings, and the family compound is also a single-story building with a yard. There are only two rooms inside, both with kang (heated brick beds), and the kitchen is outside.

If you want to take a bath, you either have to go to a public bathhouse or boil water at home and bring it inside to shower.

The outhouses were outside; you had to go outside to use them, and they were all dry toilets.

There's only well water here; if you want water for drinking or cooking, you have to fetch it yourself.

The place to fetch water was some distance from the residential compound where Shen Jingyue was assigned.

Thinking about this, Shen Jingyue really felt the urge to leave.

She wondered if Tan Jianguo could help her set up a flush toilet in the yard, but she had been troubling him for days, so Shen Jingyue didn't bring it up again.

Forget it, let's talk about these things when Qin Xiang'an comes back from his mission. Fortunately, she has a spatial ability, so she can use the toilet in her spatial ability.

She really couldn't accept going to the outhouse.

"Sister-in-law, I've already had the house cleaned up, and the water tank in the kitchen is full. Considering that you're pregnant and it's inconvenient for you now, I'll have someone help you with fetching water from now on."

"No need, that would be too much trouble for you. I can pick them back little by little."

Shen Jingyue was really too embarrassed to trouble them any further.

"It's no trouble at all, just a few buckets of water."

"We wouldn't dare let you choose while you're pregnant. Don't worry, the leadership has approved it, and no one will say anything."

"Thank you so much for your help. I will definitely invite you to my home for dinner when Qin Xiang'an returns."

Shen Jingyue had no choice but to accept it. She would wait for her husband to come back so he could properly thank them.

"That would be great! We'll have to eat a lot then," Tan Jianguo replied with a smile.

"Well then, sister-in-law, I'll be leaving with my people if there's nothing else. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."

"Oh, thank you."

After they left, Shen Jingyue looked at the spacious courtyard and thought it was alright. The courtyard and the floor inside the house were all earthen, with no cement floor at all.

Once the yard is spacious enough, we can tidy it up and maybe even grow some vegetables.

Since we'll be living here from now on, we should at least make sure it's comfortable.

She went into the room, which was rather dimly lit. It was 1968, and windows were usually quite small in those days, so the room was not well lit.

Fortunately, there are electric lights here, but the power goes out at nine o'clock every night.

The electric light was a dim, yellowish bulb, but it was still better than lighting a candle.

Tan Jianguo and a few young soldiers helped her clean the house.

In some places, the plaster on these walls is peeling off.

I remembered that I still had some curtain fabric that I had bought before in my space, which I could hang on the wall. This would not only look nice, but I also wouldn't have to worry about the paint falling off the wall while I was sleeping.

She also discovered a new skill of the space: no matter what she used, a new one would appear the next day.

Even if she doesn't have enough curtain fabric, she can get more tomorrow.

She first took the curtain fabric out of the room, and when someone asked her, she said that she brought it herself.

There's nothing on this kang (heated brick bed), so she'll have to ask if anyone here knows how to make a mat to put on the kang.

She started tidying up. She stood up and held the curtains up to see if they were high enough. If they weren't, she would have to lower them a little.

Just as she was gesturing with the curtains, she heard a sound coming from outside.

Is anyone home?

Judging from the voice, it was a woman. Considering that there were people living next door, it must be one of my sisters-in-law who came.
