Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Everyone present was stunned, frozen in place, subconsciously stopping what they were doing, and all eyes were focused on Xiao Re.

She carried several bags of exquisite gifts as she approached. She stopped in front of the farm's management office.

The short, fat administrator with an arrogant attitude, whom Xiao Chengji had pleaded with yesterday, was now sitting in the duty room with his legs crossed, drinking tea and chatting.

Hearing the noise outside the door, he casually glanced up at the window and was immediately blinded by the brand-new red Santana outside.

After standing up, she saw Xiao Re standing outside the door. Her beauty was stunning, but what truly set her apart was her dignified, elegant, and noble demeanor; one look was enough to tell that she was the wife or daughter of a high-ranking official or noble family.

He slammed his enamel teacup on the table with a loud thud, startled, and jumped up from his chair to rush out to greet him.

He put on a polite smile and asked very courteously.

"Hello, comrade, what brings you to our unit?"

Xiao Re remained calm and silent, only giving Sun Zhigang beside him a meaningful look, which Sun Zhigang immediately understood.

Sun Zhigang stepped forward, took out a beautifully packaged pack of Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket, deftly opened it, pulled out one, and handed it over.

He stood ramrod straight, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, and the golden shoulder insignia on his uniform were particularly eye-catching, making it clear at a glance that he was an officer.

"Brother, this is the wife of Regiment Commander Lu from the Jizhou Military Region. She's here to visit a relative. Could you please do her a favor?"

Upon hearing the title of regimental commander and seeing the identity of the young officer in front of him, the short, stout administrator's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became even more polite.

He quickly accepted the cigarettes with both hands, his awkward smile clearly showing a hint of flattery and ingratiation.

"Oh, so you're a military family member! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"Visits are allowed, but we have regulations here that limit family visits to a maximum of one hour."

"May I ask, what is the name of the person you wish to meet?"

"Xiao Congwen," Sun Zhigang replied in a deep voice, "was he on your farm?"

The short, stout administrator recalled the image of a fair-skinned, refined man who always stood ramrod straight, no matter what he was doing, and answered repeatedly.

"Xiao Congwen, I know this person."

"At Farm No. 3, Production Brigade No. 6. I'll take you there now!"

The short, stout administrator dared not be perfunctory or negligent, and personally led the way, taking Xiao Re and the others towards the farm's work area.

Following closely behind, Xiao Chengji looked at the short, fat man in front of him with a mixture of emotions.

Yesterday, he came alone in an oxcart, humbly saying countless kind words, and reluctantly offering two large jars of aged wine and a string of fine cured meat, all while putting on a smiling face, only to be granted a mere ten minutes of visitation time.

They didn't even see the person, and were kicked out.

But today, my daughter came in a car, and just by having someone offer her a cigarette and saying a few words, she was able to visit me for an hour.

Indeed, clothes make the man. When you're out and about, your attire reflects your image and confidence.

At this moment, Xiao Chengji finally understood the weight of status and pomp.

He admired his daughter's shrewdness and long-term vision from the bottom of his heart.

With this red Santana to show for him, plus the title of son-in-law, Wen's days on the farm will certainly not be as difficult and miserable as before.

After passing through vast stretches of dry farmland and neat thatched huts, the group quickly arrived at the Sixth Production Brigade of the Third Farm, led by the short, stout administrator.

After meeting the manager, Sun Zhigang offered cigarettes to the short, fat man, the farm's group leader, and several other managers.

With just a simple "Thank you for your hard work!", everyone grinned and thanked them with beaming smiles.

"Thank you, officer. I'll get someone for you right away!"

This fine cigarette is a rare and precious commodity on this resource-scarce farm.

In addition, Sun Zhigang's military uniform made him look like a junior officer.

Even the officers treated the beautiful woman beside them with utmost respect and obedience, which shows that the woman had an even more powerful background.

Those who can serve as team leaders and managers on the farm are all shrewd and capable. It's obvious without any explanation that they'll need to take good care of Xiao Congwen in the future.

Afterwards, Sun Zhigang found an excuse to go to the restroom, sent the managers away, and sat alone under a large tree not far away to cool off, leaving Xiao Re and his family with space to meet.

With a shout from the steward, a slender and upright figure walked slowly and steadily from the rocky hills not far away.

Before the person even got close, Xiao Chengji rushed forward impatiently, his eyes red with tears.

Twenty years of longing, concern, guilt, and torment erupted at this moment.

He staggered, his whole body trembling violently, his lips quivering for a long time before he could choke out half a sobbing, incoherent sentence.

"You are—my son, Congwen?"

Because he had mistaken someone for someone else yesterday, Xiao Chengji was in a hurry, but dared not rush forward again.

Xiao Congwen nodded, his eyes moist.

Xiao Chengji's heart sank, and he rushed over, embracing his son whom he hadn't seen for twenty years. He wept uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

Xiao Congwen was so overwhelmed by his profound and tender fatherly love that he was speechless.

The front of his clothes was completely soaked, and he still couldn't stop crying.

Xiao Congwen froze, raised his hand and gently patted his father's back, choking back tears as well.

"Alright, Dad!"

"I'm doing great here... I haven't suffered much. In fact, I've gotten stronger from training!"

After a while, he felt that his clothes were so wet that they couldn't get any wetter, and he couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice.

"Father, how did you end up here?"

"Where's Mom? Where's An'an? Have you found them? Are they doing well now?"

"How is things at home now?"

No matter what Xiao Congwen asked, Xiao Chengji only buried his head and wept, his throat choked with sobs, unable to utter a single word.

Time ticked by, and the one-hour visiting time was almost up, but the old father cried for more than ten minutes.

Xiao Re, who was standing quietly to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She flicked her father's forehead hard and loudly reminded him.

"Dad, that's enough! If you keep crying, you'll flood the whole farm."

"You've washed away the Dragon King Temple!"

A clear, sweet voice suddenly rang out on the empty stone ground, breaking the somber atmosphere.

This finally stopped Xiao Chengji's endless tears.

In fact, Xiao Congwen had noticed the elegant and beautiful woman beside him long ago, but he was so overwhelmed by his father's torrent of tears that he lost control of his emotions and had no chance to greet her.

Hearing Xiao Re call out "father" at this moment, he guessed that she was the little girl his father had adopted years ago.

He gently pushed his father away and smiled warmly at Xiao Re.

"You must be Ruoxin, right? I never imagined you'd grow up so fast and become such a beautiful young woman."
