A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Lin Yinyin: Holy crap! The army, navy, and air force have assembled!

Looking at her like this, Li Jinye smiled faintly and added, "They each have their own skills. Whatever you want to do, these people can lend you a hand."

Lin Yinyin's lips twitched.

She was just going to the mountain to claim land and build a few rabbit hutches and a small vegetable shed. She wasn't going to attack the mountain or become a mountain king. Why did she need to make such a big fuss?

This is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a huge waste of resources!

Despite saying that, Lin Yinyin's heart felt as if it were soaking in honey, sweet and delightful.

No amount of sweet words can compare to his understated thoughtfulness.

The night before her departure, Lin Yinyin was busy.

Busy packing my things, busy saying goodbye to my sister.

"Sister, once I go to Giant Rabbit Peak, I'll be handing over the position of factory manager of the mooncake factory to you."

"No, I went to the military base this afternoon to see Political Commissar Huang, and he also said that the position of factory director still belongs to you."

Lin Huizhi has a clear understanding of herself: "I know my own abilities. When it comes to business direction, finding product ideas, and making decisions and setting the tone, I can't compare to you. I'm fine as an executor."

But don't worry, Political Commissar Huang specially arranged for Staff Officer Hu to come and assist. He'll help manage the miscellaneous tasks in the factory and coordinate these matters. I just need to keep an eye on production and quality; nothing will go wrong.

"Yinyin, you can go to Giant Rabbit Peak without worry. We'll take care of the factory!"

Looking at the certainty in her sister's eyes, Lin Yinyin said, "Okay."

Lin Huizhi moved closer to her curiously, "Yinyin, tell me more about Giant Rabbit Peak?"

Why would you name a perfectly good place like Hundred Flowers Mountain such a thing?

"Hmm... because I'm going to raise the biggest rabbit in China there! So it's called Giant Rabbit Peak, which is fitting!"

"......Pfft, hahaha! How did you even come up with that!"

However, my sister can call it whatever she wants, whether it's Thousand Rabbit Slope, Auspicious Rabbit Ridge, Leaping Rabbit Peak, or Gathering Rabbit Hill. It's your mountain, you decide."

Lin Yinyin: Holy crap!

As expected, my sister is very well-read!

The name she casually mentioned sounded better than her Giant Rabbit Peak.

Never mind, she's in charge of her own territory anyway.

As night deepened, the two sisters squeezed together on a small bed, chatting and rambling on.

In the next room, Li Jinye stared at the empty bed, his face full of resentment.

He and Lin Yinyin had been married for so long, and their child was already four months old, yet they had never truly lived together. He had hoped to spend one last night with her before leaving, but instead, he was abandoned again.

He could only stand alone facing the wall, feeling the cold air.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Lin Yinyin was dragged out of bed by Lin Huizhi.

Outside the window, everything was still shrouded in a gray haze, but inside, a steaming aroma filled the air.

"Yinyin, get up. I steamed some buns and filled your 10 lunchboxes with them. I wrapped them in a small blanket so they won't get cold for a while."

Get up quickly, we need to leave at 6 o'clock.

Lin Yinyin was pregnant with triplets and was a heavy sleeper, but there was no way around it as they had to travel today.

After yawning and washing up, and eating eight steamed buns, I opened the door and saw many people standing in the yard.

Neighbor Sister Li, Battalion Commander Zhang's mother, Aunt Zhuang, Aunt Zhao, and even Aunt Wang from next door to Li Jianjun's house all came.

Familiar faces were all smiling at her, each carrying something in their hands.

"Director Lin, these are some boiled eggs for you to eat on the way."

"Director Lin, these are some salted duck eggs I pickled. They're very oily, so you can keep them and eat them slowly."

"Manager Lin, these are sticky rice cakes I made. They're sweet and chewy; I'm sure you'll love them!"

"And I made hawthorn candy balls, you'll definitely like them now that you're pregnant."

The aunties chattered amongst themselves, handing the things they were carrying to Lin Yinyin.

Several skillful elderly women even brought out three identical little outfits.

They all knew that Lin Yinyin was pregnant with triplets.

Everyone knew that once she went to Baihua Mountain, she probably wouldn't be back for a while. They all worked through the night to finish it.

Looking at all these things, and then at the sincere smiles on her sisters-in-law's faces, Lin Yinyin felt a surge of emotion.

On the jeep.

Lin Yinyin turned back to look at her sisters-in-law who were still waving at her and sighed, "Actually, my sisters-in-law are all quite lovely!"

"Yes, if soldiers are the most respectable people in the world, then military wives are the most selfless people in the world."

"Yes." Lin Yinyin nodded gently.

"They hide their support in silent waiting, guarding their own families and waiting for your return."

Li Jinye looked at Lin Yinyin, his eyes filled with an unyielding warmth.

"Yinyin, you sleep for a while. We'll be in town in two hours."

"In town?" Lin Yinyin was taken aback.

"Yes, let's rent a courtyard in town to settle down first."

The situation in Lianxi Village is unclear. The village is hidden deep in the mountains, remote and isolated, with inconvenient transportation.

There is no road from the town to the village; it takes an hour and a half to get there by bicycle.

I need to go to town to buy a few bicycles so that everyone can get around more easily in the future.

As for whether we can rent a house in Lianxi Village, or whether anyone will be willing to provide us with accommodation, it's still uncertain.

"besides……"

Li Jinye remembered something important, "I still need to go to the steel mill."

I contacted them through connections beforehand and ordered the necessary wire, and had my comrades Zhao Qian and Zhao Hou handle the negotiations. But I need to check on the subsequent transportation and settlement.

"Also, I need to pick up someone else."

"Who is it?"

"My last veteran, and also an old friend, you call me Third Brother."

He had a slight limp. After retiring from the military, he was assigned to work as a boiler operator at a bicycle yard.

But he didn't want to do it, and we're short-handed to guard the mountain. I plan to have him guard the mountain long-term, which will give him a stable livelihood. Yesterday I already sent him to prepare two guns.

"A gun?" Lin Yinyin's heart tightened.

"Hmm, a homemade gun."

Li Jinye seemed to see through her concerns. "There are many wild animals in the mountains. This gun needs to be registered with the town's public security bureau. It is considered a militia's protective equipment and is completely compliant."

In addition to homemade guns, iron heads were also prepared.

I want to make some bows and arrows myself. That mountain is too big. There are not only small animals like rabbits and pheasants, but also wild boars, wolves, and even bears hiding there.

I've also had the iron arrowheads made as quickly as possible. Once everyone else has arrived, we'll need to organize a large-scale clearing operation to eliminate any potential dangers in the mountains. I've also arranged for a boat to be prepared for the lake.

Lin Yinyin sat to the side, listening with her eyes wide open in astonishment.

It turns out she missed so many steps!

It turns out that Li Jinye's thoughts were so thorough.

No wonder he asked his father and brother for men; the army, navy, and air force weren't just any random recruits he could find!

It turns out he had already planned it all out and laid it out step by step.

So this is what it feels like to be protected by someone.
