Reborn as a Tough Army Wife
Chapter 165 - 160: Trouble

Chapter 165: Chapter 160: Trouble

Zhiming glanced at Zhiyong, and seeing that Zhiyong did not object, he dared to respond to Pingying’s words, "I won’t go tomorrow. I’ll take a leave to accompany Xiu’er around the city, and I’ll send her back to the city the day after tomorrow."

Zhiyong did not oppose because he had experienced the same, understanding that when one’s wife is not around, one surely misses her. It wasn’t too much for her to ask for a day off.

But he still reminded him, "Can you actually get the leave? Don’t mess things up. The timber factory can’t afford to be short-staffed, don’t stir up trouble for me in the end."

Zhiming sensed from Zhiyong’s words that he was allowed to take leave, and immediately smiled, "No worries, brother. I’ll formally request the leave. At most, they’ll deduct one day’s salary. The manager will allow it."

Zhiyong nodded, "Alright then, take some things with you and come back early. Be careful on the road."

Since other things were not yet prepared, Zhiming and Xiu only packed some rice in a lunchbox, and took away the steamed meat that Pingying had originally cooked with the rice, along with some pickles. It was enough for the two of them to have a meal.

Watching the eagerness of Zhiming and his companion to leave, Pingying shook her head, hoping that at the timber factory tonight only Zhiming would stay, otherwise...

Indeed, Pingying’s worry was not superfluous as Zhiming and Xiu were like newlyweds excited to reunite, their hearts burning with impatience.

Almost as soon as they left the military base and hadn’t walked ten meters, taking advantage of the darkness and the unseen surrounds, they darted into the roadside bushes and began to kiss impatiently.

In the bushes, Zhiming couldn’t wait to remove Xiu’s clothes, biting all over her body, and whispered lowly, "Wife, I’ve missed you so much."

"I have too, mmm... ah." Xiu couldn’t control her loud cries as Zhiming kissed her. Since it was late at night and few people passed by this road, besides they were hidden in the bushes, Xiu felt free to shout.

Unlike before at home, where they had to restrain themselves considering the family around.

Xiu’s screams further stimulated Zhiming. He reached out to remove the obstructive pants from Xiu, and seeing Xiu from below, his eyes slightly reddened, and he lowered his head and kissed her.

Having not been intimate like this for a long time, Xiu’s body was especially sensitive, shuddering uncontrollably under Zhiming’s mouth...

But Zhiming had not yet started. He turned Xiu over, making her face away from him, and pressed directly up against her...

Back at Pingying’s place, they had prepared meals for Zhiming and his companion, and the three of them were stuffed, with food leftover.

Pingying packed up the leftovers, planning to use them for breakfast the next day.

Thinking of Honglan who had sat on the train all day and was extremely tired, Pingying poured water for her and asked her to take a bath in the bathroom.

In the living room, Pingying laid out the bedding on the couch for Honglan.

Seeing that the couch unfolded into a bed as wide as a small bed, Zhiyong laughed and said, "This couch is not bad at all, great for when we have guests over."

Fang Pingying also felt that although the sofa was somewhat expensive, it was very practical. She smiled and said,

"I originally planned it this way, to put it in the living room for everyday use. When you come back from work and sit on it to read the newspaper or something, it’s more comfortable than sitting on a chair. And when guests come, it can also be used as a bed. Although it’s not wide, it can fit two girls without a problem. If Fang Xiu were here today, she and Hong Lan could both fit on it."

Speaking of Fang Xiu, Luo Zhiyong sighed with worry, "Ah, that Zhiming, he actually took Fang Xiu to the lumber mill, and I don’t know if the person in charge there will allow it."

"If he lives in a room by himself, there shouldn’t be a big problem," Fang Pingying whispered, "The couple hasn’t seen each other for so long, they must have some things to say privately, which is really not convenient here."

"It’s true, but working outside can’t compare to home, and there are still rules to follow. If they arrange for a single person’s dormitory, bringing his wife violates their regulations." Actually, Luo Zhiyong had wanted to scold Luo Zhiming just now.

But seeing him cowering in front of him, and also not wanting to undermine his dignity in front of his wife, Luo Zhiyong held back, but he still couldn’t help expressing his worries to Fang Pingying.

Luo Zhiyong also understood he meant well for Luo Zhiming, so he smiled and reassured her, "Let it be, they’ve already gone. If it turns out not to be allowed, Fang Xiu might come over early tomorrow, and then I’ll take her to the city to work, letting her and Hong Lan stay in the shop temporarily."

"Are you sure Fang Xiu will be comfortable working? I remember that Fang Xiu isn’t someone used to working, and I’m afraid she might bring trouble to Fang Pingying."

Fang Pingying sighed and shared her thoughts, "I know with so many years of being pampered at home, she certainly won’t settle down easily to work, but since she’s already here, on one hand, there’s my sister-in-law, and on the other, my own sister, I can’t really ignore her."

Pausing, Fang Pingying continued, "Let her work in the shop for a while, if she feels it’s too tiring, she might not want to stay, and then we’ll see what she decides to do."

"That works, your shop is just starting, and I can’t spare the time to help you. Having those two help you is better than hiring strangers." Luo Zhiyong understood Fang Pingying’s thoughts, although Fang Xiu and his wife weren’t on great terms, she was still her sister, and out of respect for Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an, he couldn’t neglect her.

Fang Pingying nodded, she had planned just so.

Temporarily, while Fang Xiu is here, since the shop has just opened and it definitely needs preparation for a few days, normally, let Fang Xiu follow to buy some goods or help clean the shop.

As Fang Pingying was thinking, she suddenly heard a loud noise in the corridor, and was just about to ask Luo Zhiyong to check what was happening, when they heard their own door being knocked.

Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong were both puzzled, at this hour, the troops wouldn’t typically require Luo Zhiyong for work-related issues.

Luo Zhiyong went to open the door, and saw a young soldier standing at the entrance.

The expression on the soldier’s face was a bit strange, as if he felt awkward, and his words seemed hard to utter.

Luo Zhiyong noticed this, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The soldier glanced at Fang Pingying, walked a few steps towards the corridor, and whispered, "Camp Chief Luo, let’s talk outside."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong closed the door slightly and followed the soldier to the corridor, "What exactly happened?" (To be continued.
