The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

"Brother, you're new here and don't know, this woman is full of bad intentions, we can't be soft on her." Xia Qiuran still looked indignant.

"Xiao Ran, even though she's a lesbian, this punishment is enough."

Xia Pingsheng pulled Xia Qiuran over, then went up and handed one of his canes to Bai Yunyun, trying to help her up.

"Brother, don't worry about her, let her climb back on her own."

"Forgive and forget, Xiao Ran, when did you become so heartless?"

As Xia Pingsheng spoke, he pulled on his crutch. Because his legs were weak, he strained his upper body until his face turned red. Several times, he was almost dragged into the mud by Bai Yunyun.

Xia Qiuran couldn't bear to watch, and feeling sorry for her brother, she could only help pull him a couple of times.

Bai Yunyun, who had just emerged from the mud, coughed violently several times. Her mouth was full of mud, and she, who always paid the most attention to cleanliness, could not bear it. She sat there crying and shouting.

"Mom and Dad, brother, let's go. She'll go back on her own."

Xia Qiuran pulled her parents' arms and called out to Xia Pingsheng.

Xia Pingsheng kept staring at Bai Yunyun, as if he really wanted to help her up, but didn't dare to go forward.

"Big brother, let's go back quickly and give you and Mom a bath."

Xia Qiuran raised her voice this time, finally bringing Xia Pingsheng back to his senses.

The shelter was poorly equipped, with no proper bathing facilities. They could only set up a makeshift shed with three pieces of wood, put a bucket of water inside for a quick wash, and have someone watch over it from the outside. Otherwise, with so many people watching, it would be easier for the men, but it was definitely not an option for the women.

Xia Dazhi and Xia Pingsheng finished washing up quickly, but Bai Yunyun only dared to wash her face and hair briefly because she was so unpopular that no one was willing to watch the bathroom door for her.

"Big brother, has something happened at home again? Why did you suddenly come?"

Xia Qiuran was too lazy to care about Bai Yunyun; this kind of person deserved to suffer.

"Let Mom and Dad talk to you. I'm going out for a bit."

Xia Pingsheng only gave Xia Qiuran a perfunctory reply before heading straight to Bai Yunyun.

Xia Qiuran was both angry and helpless when she saw this scene, but she couldn't just drag her older brother back in front of so many people. She had to save face for him, so she could only let him go.

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here this time?" Xia Qiuran turned to ask Qian Guifang and Xia Pingsheng.

"Something's wrong, of course something's wrong."

Upon hearing this, Xia Dazhi immediately changed his expression, his mouth practically stretching to his ears in a wide grin.

"Xiao Ran, don't hide it from us anymore. Dad was thinking of sending you back to your hometown before, but I was mistaken. I will never say such things again."

"Yes, we never expected that the benefits of being a soldier would be so good. We were really short-sighted before. Xiao Ran, you have no idea how envious everyone in our commune is."

Seeing her parents' happy faces, Xia Qiuran became more and more confused. What was she hiding? Why were they so happy? Did her parents find out that she had been promoted to a formal military doctor? But she had only written home a few days ago. How come the post office was so fast this time?

"Dad, Mom, actually, I was lucky this time, plus the guild leader helped me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to be promoted to medic directly and more than double my salary," Xia Qiuran said casually.

"You got promoted too, that's double happiness for our family!" At this moment, Qian Guifang's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared at Xia Qiuran in shock.

"What do you mean by double happiness? That's triple happiness!" Xia Dazhi patted Qian Guifang's arm and quickly corrected her.

"Yes, it's a triple celebration," Qian Guifang immediately corrected herself with a smile.

Three Joys?

Xia Qiuran paused, wondering when all three joyous occasions had occurred. Was there some happy event in the family?

"Mom, is there some good news at home recently? Has someone tried to set up a match for my brother? Which family does the girl come from? What's wrong with her?"

Xia Qiuran guessed that if her older brother really had a girlfriend, that would be a happy thing. Given her brother's situation, it was impossible for him to find a perfect match. She wondered what kind of defect the girl had and whether it would affect her future life.

"What's matchmaking? This is much happier. Your brother has a stable job now, what good girl can't he have?" Qian Guifang waved her hand, grinning from ear to ear.

"Work? What kind of work?" Xia Qiuran asked, quite puzzled.

Their family all had rural household registrations, and apart from the three paths of being recommended to school by workers, peasants and soldiers, joining the army, and being recruited by state-owned enterprises, there was virtually no way to change their household registration.

These conditions are all incredibly difficult, making it virtually impossible for her brother to get a job in the city.

Qian Guifang glanced at Xia Qiuran, her eyes filled with delight, thinking that she was still being modest.

Qian Guifang continued, "Xiao Ran, you are a hero to our family, so don't be modest. We all know that the organization is helping your dad and brother get jobs, and they've even found them a place to live. The organization is so good to our family, so you must work hard in the army from now on."

"What! The organization found jobs for my dad and my brother, and even provided them with housing." Xia Qiuran turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

How could that be? Even the regimental commander probably doesn't get this kind of treatment.

Qian Guifang: "Yes, your father was assigned to work as a flour miller, and your brother was assigned to work as a security guard at a clothing factory because of his leg injury. As a family member, I was able to come to the city with him."

"Who notified you?" Realizing something was wrong, Xia Qiuran immediately asked carefully.

Seeing Xia Qiuran's nervous expression, Qian Guifang also stopped smiling and answered honestly.

"He was a tall, thin, handsome man with shiny hair and dressed very well."

Hearing the description, Xia Qiuran quickly pictured Yan Jun in her mind. But why would he help her family with these things? They weren't that close yet.

"Isn't he quite humorous? There's a small birthmark on the back of his wrist," Xia Qiuran continued to confirm.

After thinking for a few seconds, Qian Guifang replied, "What you say is quite interesting, but I didn't notice the birthmark."

"Yes, I saw it, right here on the back of his hand. He even introduced himself, saying his name was something like Yan." Xia Dazhi chimed in from the side.

Xia Qiuran: "Yan Jun."

"Yes, yes, it's Yan Jun," Xia Dazhi nodded repeatedly in agreement.

It really is Yan Jun. How could he do these things? Could this be related to Lu Zhenghan? He seemed preoccupied last time. The more Xia Qiuran thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

No, she needs to figure this out as soon as possible.

"I understand. Mom and Dad, please have a seat. I'll be out for a bit."

After Xia Qiuran finished speaking, she ran towards the door, but turned back halfway there.

Fearing that Bai Yunyun might cause some trouble again, Xia Qiuran shouted loudly at the shed where Bai Yunyun was taking a bath.

"Bai Yunyun, I have something important to do and I have to go out for a while. I'll be right back. Keep an eye on the shelter. If anything happens to it, I'll throw you in the mud again."

You have to intimidate these kinds of people; you can't give them any pleasantries.

She needed to figure this out while there was still time.
