Huang Ying glanced at him sadly, then ran out crying.

Commander Qin sat on the sofa, his once straight back now hunched over, making him look several years older.

Huang Ying left the Qin family's house, covered her face, and ran home. Jiang Xiaohong opened the door for her: "Sister-in-law..."

Huang Ying shoved her away abruptly, yelling, "Get out!"

She walked into the room and slammed the door shut. Jiang Xiaohong bit her lip, touched her sore arm, and didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, Jiang Xiaoming also returned.

Jiang Xiaohong was shocked to see the wounds on her brother's face and his blood-stained clothes. "Brother, what happened to you?"

Jiang Xiaoming glanced into the room: "Where's your sister-in-law?"

"My sister-in-law is angry and has gone back to her room to sleep." Jiang Xiaohong anxiously checked her brother's wounds from head to toe.

Jiang Xiaoming brushed her hand away. "It's nothing, just a nosebleed."

He glanced at the door and said to Jiang Xiaohong, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

"Um."

……

When Su Lang returned home, he looked the same as usual, but when he bent down to hug his daughter, he still hissed.

Lin Zhilan's almond-shaped eyes flashed as she glanced at the military uniform he had changed out of.

It was covered in more dust than usual.

After dinner, Jiang Chengzhou took his sister to the yard to digest their food. While they weren't looking, Lin Zhilan took Su Lang into the room.

"Take it off!"

Are you sure?

Su Lang sat leisurely on the bed, looking up at his wife with his head slightly raised.

Lin Zhilan was wearing a white shirt and green military pants today, with a two-finger-wide belt around her waist that made her slender waist look as if it would break at any moment.

Perhaps because she no longer had to worry about the hooligans and scoundrels in the village after coming to the island, and Wang Guifen no longer came to her door every day to cause trouble, Lin Zhilan ate and slept well and became a little plumper.

Su Lang's gaze swept over the alluring curves of her chest, slowly moving to her straight, slender legs. His eyes flickered, revealing a dark expression.

He slowly and methodically unbuttoned his military uniform, one button at a time, and in no time he had taken off his shirt.

He casually draped his clothes over the chair, revealing his strong and muscular upper body.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and bulging abdominal muscles, every movement exudes a powerful and beautiful aura.

Lin Zhilan is a doctor who has seen countless people's bodies, but at this moment she still felt her ears burning.

Where are you hurt?

When she spoke, she realized why her voice had become like this.

Her voice was somewhat hoarse, yet also carried a hint of coquettishness.

Lin Zhilan glared at Su Lang.

It's all the man's fault.

Su Lang chuckled and showed her the injury on his back.

Lin Zhilan exclaimed in surprise; there was a fist-sized bruise below his shoulder blade.

"How did it get like this?"

She took out a bottle of white ointment from a drawer in her room; it was something she had made herself using the medicinal herbs she had found in her spatial storage these past few days.

Feeling the coolness on his back, Su Lang smiled and said, "I led my team to spar with Commander Jiang today."

Lin Zhilan paused, her hand still applying the ointment, a slight ripple of emotion stirring within her. She smiled and asked, "So you lost the fight?"

Su Lang turned around, wiped the remaining ointment from her palm with a towel, and said slowly, "He's in a worse situation than me."

"You're really good at comparing."

Lin Zhilan got up to leave, but he pulled her onto his lap and made her sit down.

"What are you doing... ugh!"

The series of actions were so fast that Lin Zhilan didn't even have time to react before her red lips were firmly sealed by the man.

Su Lang tightened his arms, slid his palm upwards, and pressed down on Lin Zhilan's fragile neck.

This is the action of a wild beast hunting.

This shows that Su Lang's true personality is not as gentle as he usually appears.

Gradually, his other hand quietly slipped under her shirt and pressed his burning palm against her bare back.

Lin Zhilan trembled, a strange feeling rising in her heart, but the man pulled her back into the vortex of desire, and her arms gradually climbed onto the man's broad shoulders.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind and rain suddenly stopped.

Lin Zhilan nestled in Su Lang's arms, struggling to breathe.

Su Lang chuckled, "I'll just kiss you. What if we get serious?"

Lin Zhilan turned her head and bit his neck, which earned her a muffled groan from the man.

"Zhilan, once we move, you can bite as much as you want."

Moving was quickly put on the agenda.

It happened to be the beginning of winter. In the north, the temperature is already below zero, and everyone has to stay indoors to hibernate. But on the island, the temperature is at least 10 degrees Celsius, and the soldiers are training in just vests.

Lin Zhilan heard from Chunhua's sister-in-law that many soldiers could not go home even once a year, and their families were not eligible to accompany them to the military base.

The wives of these regimental commanders and chiefs of staff would invite soldiers who hadn't been home for years to have a meal at their homes.

We just moved to a new house; it's spacious and has a large yard.

When Lin Zhilan left in the morning, she told Su Lang to call his comrades back for lunch, so they could have a housewarming party.

Today, two tables need to be set up at home. Taking into account Su Lang's appetite, Lin Zhilan started preparing early in the morning.

Yesterday, Lin Zhilan had told Yan Yuan's family that she wanted to order two buckets of fish. Just as she was about to leave, Yan Yuan and his grandfather arrived with the fish.

This was the first time Lin Zhilan had met Grandpa Yan Yuan.

He looked very thin, and because he had been fishing at sea for many years, his skin was dark, but his arms were full of lean muscles.

"Aunt Lin, we've brought over the fish, all caught this morning. We also have a basket of crabs, which are a gift for you, no need to pay."

"So much? Thank you so much." Lin Zhilan smiled and ushered them into the courtyard, pouring them tea.

"Uncle Yan, please have some water."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Yan Hai quickly took the cup with both hands. He had already heard from his grandson that a regimental commander's wife often patronized his business, and the family's children often played with him.

This basket of crabs wasn't worth much money, and Yan Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Zhilan didn't mind.

The closer to the sea, the more severe the soil salinization, making it unsuitable for growing fruits and vegetables.

These fishermen have no shortage of fish and shrimp to eat; what they lack most are fruits, vegetables, and staple foods.

This is also why the military granted fishermen special permission to engage in trade.

Lin Zhilan put the crabs in the kitchen, cleared out the basket, took some vegetables from her spatial storage, mixed them with the ones she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and put them all into the basket.

"Yan Yuan, if you give Auntie the crabs, Auntie will give you some vegetables in return, okay?"

Yan Yuan shook his head with his hands behind his back. "I don't want it. I caught the crabs myself and didn't spend any money, but I paid for the vegetables."

Jiang Chengzhou shoved the basket into Yan Yuan's hands, saying, "Just take it. My aunt and uncle are very rich."

Lin Zhilan: Thank you, my dear nephew.

Yan Hai also declined, but Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, there's a long road ahead. It's the way to get along if we give and take."

"You won't even accept vegetables, how can I dare to accept your crabs?"

Yan Hai sighed and could only let his grandson accept the vegetables.

Just as they were about to leave, Bai Yang came in from outside. "Sister-in-law, the commander asked me to come back and help. Just tell me what's wrong."
