How's your stamina in Chapter 4?
Huo Jingyuan's eyes widened.

Why are you suddenly asking about my physical strength?
Huo Jingyuan pondered for a moment, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "Comrade Jiang Ci, I have won first place in three events in the Northwest Military Region every year. My physical strength is beyond doubt. When we return to the Northwest Military Region, I can show you."

"No need for the Northwest Military Region, tonight will suffice."

"what?"

Huo Jingyuan looked puzzled. He felt he couldn't quite understand Jiang Ci; she always spoke boldly and with hidden meanings.

"How are you going to demonstrate your physical prowess tonight?" Huo Jingyuan asked.

Could it be that he wants to test his physical strength against his comrades from the Beijing Military Region?
Wen Ci raised an eyebrow: "You really don't understand?"

Huo Jingyuan shook his head: "I don't understand."

Wen Ci stared intently at Huo Jingyuan. They stood under a shady tree, with cicadas chirping overhead. She curled her lips and said, word by word, "Things that newlyweds should do."

The word '干' is used with emphasis.

Huo Jingyuan instantly understood, his ears turned red, and his wheat-colored cheeks showed a hint of shyness as he lowered his head.

Seeing his face turn bright red and his face beaming with smiles, Wen Ci pointed to the large red characters on the wall and said, "Eugenics and good parenting, Comrade Huo, we should also call for and respond to this call."

He spent most of his time in the military region, living with a bunch of tough guys. He only ever heard them talk about how reserved their wives were, but how come his wife was so reserved...?

Suddenly, Wen Ci heard the murmurs of middle-aged women. She turned around and saw several middle-aged women standing behind them, and tilted her head slightly.

"Is this Xiao Huo?"

"Right? He looks a lot like Grandpa Huo."

"I heard that Xiao Huo has a marriage alliance with the Jiang family. Is the girl next to him the Jiang family's daughter?"

Just as Wen Ci frowned and was about to speak, a large hand grasped hers. Huo Jingyuan gave her a wink, then smiled gently and called out, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, Aunt Li."

Those family members who were able to be allocated housing in the military compound were considered meritorious.

Huo Jingyuan was also familiar with the middle-aged women in front of him; they had served as medics under his maternal grandfather and were now retired. "It really is young Huo."

Several people immediately crowded around, looked Huo Jingyuan up and down, then looked Wen Ci up and down, and joked, "Everyone says that the Jiang family's daughter is beautiful, but this is the first time we've seen her like this."

Wen Ci smiled.

"Where is Xiao Huo serving in the military now?"

Huo Jingyuan replied, "Northwest Military Region."

"What position?"

Huo Jingyuan smiled but did not answer. The group immediately realized that they had gone too far. They could talk about the military region, but it was inconvenient to disclose the military rank.

When will I be able to attend your wedding?

"I remember how the old commander used to hope you would get married and have children, but now..."

As they talked, the group became sentimental.

Seeing the sorrowful expressions on the faces of the aunts, Huo Jingyuan replied gently, "I didn't have much time during my vacation this time, so I didn't have time to hold a banquet."

"How can that be! I'll cook a feast for you at your aunt's house tonight, consider it your wedding banquet!"

Wen Ci felt the warmth of the aunties, but she was not used to this unfamiliar enthusiasm. She reached out and tugged at Huo Jingyuan's sleeve, whispering, "Jingyuan, I need to go back to the Jiang family tonight to pack my things."

"Is Xiao Jiang going to join the army?"

Wen Ci nodded: "I can't be a wife now that I'm a member of the Huo family, and I still have to live apart from my husband."

"It's good to live with the military, it's good to live with the military. The old commander was looking forward to holding his grandson before he passed away. Now that Xiao Huo is getting old, he can't live away from home."
