The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 109 - 108: New Trucks, Homecoming, and Men’s Boudoir Complaints

Chapter 109: Chapter 108: New Trucks, Homecoming, and Men’s Boudoir Complaints

The next day, Ling Chengyan led a group to pick up ten brand new large trucks, along with the one they came with, forming a convoy, and grandly left Hai City.

The weather was favorable, with no rain or snow, allowing a smooth journey. By the third evening, the convoy arrived back in Huicheng.

Just in time for the weekend, Xiaoxing got up early to help her dad and aunt clean the house and then went to the grocery store to buy frozen fish and meat, all in preparation for her mom’s return home.

In the evening, Wang Liansheng was cooking at home while Xiaoyu held Shi Tou, and together with Xiaoxing ran to the gate of the compound to wait eagerly. They waited until the moon rose, and finally saw a line of new cars approaching from afar, eventually entering the compound.

Children and families in the compound ran over to see the new cars. It was the first time in many years that so many new cars were brought in at once, neatly lined up like soldiers in a parade, and even the newcomers driving felt compelled to stand tall and proud.

After parking the cars, the squad leader briefed them briefly, and the instructor smiled, saying, "We’ve added a meat dish in the canteen and steamed big buns, let’s go eat and dismiss!"

The newcomers cheered and rushed to the canteen in a throng.

At home, the canteen meals always seemed bland and tasteless, but after going away, they realized the meals at their own canteen were substantial and filling.

Ling Chengyan and Liu Xianghu followed the squad leader and instructor back to the company office. Ling Chengyan briefly reported the mission to the two leaders and then explained the travel expenses.

"...had to wait a few days. Everyone wanted to visit West Lake, and it happened that there was some cargo to transport there from the factory, so we helped out a little. Here are the expense details."

Though they mentioned when carrying the cargo that it was to cover travel expenses to West Lake, in reality, their travel expenses were reimbursed. That statement was just a joke.

Instructor Wu Yushu looked at the squad leader, neither criticized nor praised, simply taking Ling Chengyan’s accounting and advising them to go home and rest early.

This time, the personnel involved were given two days off.

Ling Chengyan returned home, and the specialties she bought along the way, along with the Huai Country old defective goods and such, were returned by Zhang Wanxiang, Ma Dajun, and a few others.

Ling Chengyan called Wang Liansheng to lend a hand to move the defective goods from Huai Country old into the warehouse in the small south room. The scattered items left were for her family and herself.

The eatables and playthings piled on the ground were up for Xiaoxing and Shi Tou to dig around like mining for their favorite things.

Ling Chengyan sorted out a few portions and sent them to some families they were acquainted with. After some thought, she packed another portion and hurried to deliver it to the company office. Sure enough, squad leader Jiang Yuntong and instructor Wu Yushu hadn’t returned home yet. Seeing Ling Chengyan coming back, Wu Yushu asked in surprise, "Is there anything you haven’t clarified?"

Ling Chengyan nearly rolled her eyes and replied, "I saw some fresh specialties on the way and bought a little, also got some tea leaves, thought I’d bring some for you leaders to try."

"Is this a gift?" Wu Yushu said with a laugh and then took the bamboo basket from Ling Chengyan, turning to Jiang Yuntong, "Old Jiang, I’ve decided, you can have the food, but the basket is mine."

In the North, most baskets are made of wicker, rough and sturdy, lacking the elegance and intricacy of Southern bamboo products.

Jiang Yuntong was unashamed and directly retorted, "What do you need such a pretty basket for with three boys at home? Better give it to me, my daughter likes these flashy things."

"Your daughter is only two, right?" Wu Yushu mercilessly brought up his past.

Seeing nothing left to discuss, Ling Chengyan left without a word.

After Jiang Yuntong and Wu Yushu finished their banter and thought of asking for another bamboo basket, Ling Chengyan had already nearly reached home.

After dinner, Ling Chengyan happened to catch the opening hours of the bathhouse and took Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing for a good hot water bath.

Returning home, Shi Tou was already asleep, lying face down in his pillow, his chubby little body curled like a cocoon. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"He insisted on waiting for you to come home and tell him a story..." Wang Liansheng whispered.

Ling Chengyan leaned over and kissed the little child’s face, laying the well-fed chubby child properly, and covered him with a blanket.

Perhaps sensing it was his mother, Shi Tou nudged closer to her, pressed tightly, hummed softly twice, and fell back asleep.

Ling Chengyan gently stroked the little child’s back, watching him fall into a deep sleep again.

Wang Liansheng brought in a cup of milk, smiling, "Look, I contacted a farm and got some milk. From now on, we’ll have a truck delivering milk every day, and we can finally drink milk."

Ling Chengyan took the cup, feeling its warmth. The unprocessed raw milk, once boiled, was especially thick, forming a light yellow layer of cream on the surface: "Hmm, the gamey taste is a bit strong, some might find it hard to drink."

Wang Liansheng didn’t mind, "Such good stuff, there’s never enough, never leftovers. If some have difficulty drinking it, that’s fine."

Ling Chengyan gave him a look, didn’t say much more, finished the milk in the cup, rinsed her mouth, and came back to sleep.

Wang Liansheng sat on the bed reading a book, one of the old ones Ling Chengyan bought from Huai Country old.

"These books are really good." Wang Liansheng closed the book and sincerely praised it, then started sharing tales with Ling Chengyan about taking the kids to see a gala, Shi Tou causing a fuss over seeing the gala...

As he talked endlessly without a response, Wang Liansheng leaned over to look and found that Ling Chengyan was cuddling the little child, and both mother and child had fallen asleep.

Wang Liansheng gazed at both faces for a while before gently exhaling, reaching out to tuck their blanket edges, stood up, and quietly left to sleep on the small bed.

In the morning, Wang Liansheng and Xiaoxing had their fill and headed out for work and school.

Ling Chengyan leisurely had breakfast with Shi Tou and then brought out clothes and shoes she bought for the little child to try on each piece.

Xiaoyu went in, put on the new coat Ling Chengyan bought for her, and came out with a slight blush, saying, "Sis."

"Hmm, looks good!" Ling Chengyan gestured for her to come closer, checking the fit at her waist, "You’re still too thin, the clothes are a bit loose."

Xiaoyu smiled, "I’m still growing, a bit bigger now so I can wear it next year."

Ling Chengyan considered and said, "I noticed the little girls in Hai City wearing clothes with two buttons added at the back. You could try it, maybe take a tuck to narrow the waist."

Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled. She took off her coat and went inside to find buttons.

There was a knock at the door, and Xiaoyu came out from inside to open it, only to find that it was a few of the new soldiers who went on the trip together.

"Squad leader!" The newcomers, familiar with Ling Chengyan, were no longer as afraid as before but remained somewhat reserved.
