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

"Driver, it's not departure time yet, please stop!" Xia Qiuran shouted anxiously to the long-distance bus driver.

The driver then glanced silently at the rearview mirror and said, "I'm just making a U-turn. If I leave before the time is up, I'll still get a fine."

After turning the car around, it came to a smooth stop, and Xia Qiuran finally felt relieved.

Just then, Lu Zhenghan got into the car carrying the things he had just bought.

Upon seeing Lu Zhenghan, Xia Qiuran immediately stood up as if she had seen a savior. Then, she glanced at the burly man sitting next to her, her lips slightly downturned, her eyes seemingly filled with grievance.

Lu Zhenghan understood Xia Qiuran's meaning and walked up to the burly man politely, "Comrade, we're together, could we switch seats?"

The burly man looked up and saw that although Lu Zhenghan was tall, he wasn't as strong as him. With his weight of over 200 pounds, he would have the advantage even in a fight. He snorted coldly, "No way."

"Okay, then please make way so the ladies inside can come out." Lu Zhenghan didn't say anything more and politely agreed.

After hearing this, the burly man simply sat in his seat and slowly turned around, gesturing for Xia Qiu to walk past him.

Xia Qiuran glanced at him but didn't move. The burly man was too wide. Although he turned to the side, there wasn't enough space for her to pass through. If she forced her way through, she would inevitably have close contact with the burly man's body.

"Comrade, there isn't enough space in the seats, so I'll have to trouble you to stand up," Lu Zhenghan said again.

"Why is it so complicated? I'll just stay here or go out like this," the burly man said impatiently, raising his voice.

Lu Zhenghan wasn't angry. As he spoke, he placed a hand on the burly man's wrist and said, "Comrade, what you're doing is a bit unreasonable."

Before long, the burly man's arm veins began to bulge, and his face turned red. He tried to resist but found that he couldn't move at all.

Lu Zhenghan remained standing in front of him, his expression unchanged.

In just two minutes, the burly man finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up abruptly, revealing five deep finger marks on his wrist.

Xia Qiuran quickly grabbed her handbag and sat down in the back seat with Lu Zhenghan, then told him what had just happened.

"Commander Lu, thank you so much. I'm so glad you were here, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do." Xia Qiuran said her thanks in a soft and sincere voice, her eyes looking at her with gratitude as if they could speak.

He had heard words of thanks many times before, but for some reason this time it made his heartstrings tighten, and he seemed a little nervous.

"You're welcome," Lu Zhenghan replied casually, then looked to the side.

"Master, wait a minute."

"etc."

Just as the car started moving, a man and a woman outside chased after it and ran onto the car.

Xia Qiuran looked up and saw Zhao Feng and Yang Yuqin. They naturally noticed Xia Qiuran and Yang Yuqin as well, but Xia Qiuran just turned her head away as if she didn't know them.

Zhao Feng led Yang Yuqin to sit near the burly man.

"Why are you so late? It's too late." The burly man said to Zhao Feng and his companion after they sat down.

It turns out they knew each other.

Xia Qiuran glanced at the burly man and thought about it carefully. This time, she finally remembered that the burly man was Zhao Feng's colleague at the automobile factory, named Ma Daguang.

In his previous life, Ma Daguang was violent by nature. He beat away five or six wives. When he couldn't find a wife in the city, he asked around to find one for him from the countryside.

Zhao Feng must have come back to the commune this time to introduce a wife to Ma Daguang. It's truly despicable that he would cheat the people of his own commune like this for a small introduction fee.

"It's a bit late when I left home." Zhao Feng replied to Ma Daguang, then looked at Xia Qiuran, "Qiuran, are you going home today too?"

"Mm." Xia Qiuran nodded lightly.

At this moment, Ma Daguang also turned around with some surprise and asked Zhao Feng, "You two know each other?"

"Not only do I know her, she was my betrothed." Zhao Feng's eyelashes drooped, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of sadness.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuqin immediately pouted and tugged at Zhao Feng's clothes, giving Xia Qiuran a venomous glare.

After the car had traveled some distance, Zhao Feng frequently glanced at Xia Qiuran out of the corner of his eye.

"Qiu Ran, I remember you love White Rabbit milk candy the most, here you go."

"No need, I don't like eating it anymore," Xia Qiuran replied expressionlessly.

"We also have glutinous rice strips here. I remember when we went to the market before, I bought you a pack," Zhao Feng said again.

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's true, but didn't your sister take it back after we got back?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Feng's face. "Here, take this bag. I promise I won't let my sister know."

Xia Qiuran ignored her, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her chair.

Lu Zhenghan glanced at Xia Qiuran, who was resting with her eyes closed, his gaze deep. They had even shopped at the market together; it seemed their relationship had once been quite good.

Zhao Feng, however, didn't take Xia Qiuran's behavior seriously. She was still pretending. Of all the days to go home, why did she have to choose today? She must have found out that he was going home today and deliberately chose this train to bump into him.

After several hours of bumpy travel, the car finally arrived at the station. After getting off the car, the group saw a hand tractor parked across the road.

"My dad came to pick me up," Zhao Feng said with a smug look on his face.

Yang Yuqin glanced at Xia Qiuran and then hooked her arm around Zhao Feng's. "That's a new tractor that the commune just bought. My dad said it's very expensive."

"Qiu Ran, although we've broken off our engagement, our friendship remains. If you're willing, I can let you ride back with me." Zhao Feng turned his head and smiled slightly, as if showing off his superiority.

After saying that, she didn't forget to raise her head and give Lu Zhenghan a defiant glance.

"Thank you, but no need." Xia Qiuran didn't even give Zhao Feng a second glance before picking up her luggage and leaving.

"Qiu Ran, why make things difficult for yourself? Do I need to elaborate on my strength in our commune? Do you think you can find someone stronger than me after leaving me?" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and shouted, unwilling to give up.

At this moment, the people on the hand tractor got off and walked over, first giving a respectful salute to Lu Zhenghan, who was dressed in military uniform.

"Sun Zheng, I'm here. My dad sent you to pick me up, right?" Zhao Feng said, clearly displeased.

"Brother Shen, I was sent by the Party Secretary," Sun Zheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng's face grew even more smug. "I didn't expect my return to have even alarmed the Party Secretary. Well then, go back and tell Secretary Fang that I'm doing well and will visit him another day."

Sun Zheng glanced at Zhao Feng with some confusion, then turned to Lu Zhenghan and asked, "Excuse me, are you Commander Lu?"

"I am."

"I was sent by Secretary Fang to pick you up. Please get in the car." He said, taking the luggage from Lu Zhenghan's hands.

Before coming, Zhou Guangming had already contacted the leaders of Dagang Commune, but since they had never met, Lu Zhenghan did not rush to acknowledge them.

"Sun Zheng, are you sure you're not mistaken? I already notified my dad before I came back, and he promised to pick me up in a hand tractor." Zhao Feng's cheeks flushed red as he asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Brother Shen, this is an order personally given by the Party Secretary, how could it be wrong?" Sun Zheng said with great certainty.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the braying of a donkey came from the other side.

Zhao Feng turned around and saw that it was his father who had come to pick him up in a donkey cart.

"Dad, didn't you say the commune bought a new tractor?" Zhao Feng said to his father, his face flushed with displeasure.

"I went to the commune to borrow it, but the secretary said a big shot is coming and I can't use it this time," Zhao Feng's father replied anxiously. "You three, get on the truck quickly, the donkey is hungry and we need to feed it when we get back."
