The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 242 - 239: Consideration, Can’t Wait

"Mom!" A clear and crisp voice sounded behind her, and Ling Chengyan turned around to see Wang Liansheng’s face.

She had just been looking at those boys who were like little black iron eggs, and now she turned around to see a handsome and gentle man—hmm, he was indeed pleasing to the eye!

She vaguely felt her eyes were much more comfortable now.

"When did you all get here?" Ling Chengyan asked in surprise, reaching out to touch her son’s little face, then rubbing her daughter’s head.

It’s Sunday, adults and children don’t have to go to work or school. Ling Chengyan had asked if they wanted to come over and see the excitement during breakfast. What did the boys say? Didn’t they say they were busy and couldn’t make it?!

Little Xin smiled with crescent eyes, gently shaking her mother’s hand: "We wanted to sneak over and give you a surprise!"

Ling Chengyan raised her eyebrows and let them fall, holding back a laugh: "Hmm, hmm, it was quite a surprise."

Watching the young people on the field go from strangers to acquaintances, with even two pairs starting to exchange flirtatious glances, her interest in the lively scene began to wane.

Watching one or two lovey-dovey couples is enough. Dozens of young couples on the field...it’s a bit overwhelming, after all, she’s from ancient times.

So, when the children came over, she was genuinely happy. With her kids by her side, she didn’t have to envy those people on the field.

The kids didn’t understand the love scenes on the field between the men and women; they only knew to watch the games—grabbing a bride was fun to watch too.

Little Xin watched and got angry, tugging at Ling Chengyan’s hand and shouting, "That person is so bad, causing trouble!"

Ling Chengyan turned her head and accidentally met Wang Liansheng’s smiling eyes.

She lowered her gaze, touched the little girl’s braids, and said, "That’s also part of the game. It’s about whether the participants can complete their tasks smoothly even when someone’s disrupting them."

"Oh?" Little Xin agreed verbally but felt that what her mom said didn’t quite make sense. But she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

She turned to look at Dad, only to see Dad just looking at Mom with a smiling face.

Pouting her lips, Little Xin hugged her mom’s hand tighter.

Indoor games broke the initial unfamiliarity and distance, and when they moved outdoors, the expanded space seemed to break down the restraint of the young men and women completely. Not only did the participants on the field let loose, but the spectators around the field also relaxed, watching the excitement while chatting and getting to know each other more deeply. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

When the 400-meter obstacle course was completed, the top five participants became team leaders and selected their teams, and at noon, they made dumplings themselves to eat.

The Special Service Company had collectively made dumplings during the New Year, and everyone knew whose skills were the best. Even those who couldn’t at home had learned it after coming to the army. They might not wrap them perfectly, but they could at least keep the filling inside without the dumplings falling apart.

The teams were soon formed, and each team leader assigned tasks. Some went to gather cabbage, some went to get meat filling, and some went to fetch flour... everyone knew their roles, and everything was in perfect order, lively but not chaotic.

Moreover, during the dumpling-eating phase, even the substitute team members and cheerleaders who couldn’t enter the dining hall got to participate. With more people, the atmosphere naturally became more lively.

Wang Liansheng took the kids back, and Ling Chengyan and the leaders also occupied a table, sitting around, chatting and making dumplings together, chatting casually.

The games were always lively and noisy, but making dumplings was relatively refined and quiet. Everyone making dumplings together gave the men and women who had mutual feelings a chance to further understand each other.

The atmosphere was very nice, the dumplings were delicious, and after eating them, the social event was drawing to a close.

The girls were about to leave, and the boys from the Special Service Company had prepared gifts, all packed in small bags and boxes, handing them to the girls they liked.

Watching the people get on the bus and leave, Liu Caixia turned back and smiled at Ling Chengyan and Xu Dong, saying, "Your idea was great. Our men should indeed take the initiative."

Ling Chengyan looked at Xu Dong: "It was all arranged with care by the instructor."

She had thought Xu Dong was a reliable and steady person that day, and she was right. Look at how well this was all planned—thorough and detailed—he’s a good talent for clerical work.

If Xu Dong knew he left such an impression on Ling Chengyan, he might not be too happy. But, when it comes to impressions, the person involved is often the last to know.

When Ling Chengyan returned home, Wang Liansheng and a few kids were already geared up and getting ready to head out.

"Just got a call from Second Brother—Father-in-law can be discharged tomorrow. I was just about to take them over to clean up a bit."

Upon hearing this news, Ling Chengyan was delighted and quickly said, "Then I’ll go apply to borrow a car to pick him up."

Wang Liansheng pulled her back: "No need to rush."

Ling Chengyan turned around, raising her eyebrows as she looked at him.

Wang Liansheng pulled her over to wash her hands in the basin, smiling, "I borrowed Mr. Lian’s car. I’ll go pick him up early tomorrow."

Ling Chengyan’s hand was in the water when she heard this, and she frowned slightly: "Mr. Lian—is that okay?"

Mr. Lian’s identity is sensitive, and he’s involved with foreign affairs. Although Ling Chengyan roughly perceived that the national policy’s general direction had changed, in the minor details, there were still some discrepancies in execution across regions, even back and forth.

She always instructed Liu San and Second Brother to act low-key, not to stand out too much, because of this. So, her question to Wang Liansheng was about whether getting too close to Mr. Lian would be an issue.

Feeling warm in his heart, Wang Liansheng handed her a towel and shook his head with a smile: "Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Having weathered many storms, Wang Liansheng wasn’t someone with a rash and reckless character. Hearing him say so, Ling Chengyan was relieved. However, she still added, "I’ll go ask Commander Jiang for a fuel ticket so you can take the fuel money to the man."

They recognized the favor of borrowing the car but didn’t want to be caught economically.

Understanding that it was all for his sake, Wang Liansheng felt even warmer and more at ease, nodding and agreeing with a smile.

After drinking a glass of water, Ling Chengyan set off with Wang Liansheng, taking the kids to the rented yard for Father Ling, cleaning it inside and out, with Ling Chengyan tending to the stove and Wang Liansheng hauling water buckets to fill the water tank.

Thinking about the yard mentioned by Second Sister-in-law Zheng Xiaotian, Ling Chengyan pondered: having gotten used to tap water, hauling water is truly inconvenient. If they could buy that yard together with Second Sister-in-law, someone would need to be found to channel the water through.

Moreover, the drainage also needed work. With the two families so close, doing it together could save some labor and material costs.

The next day, before dawn, Wang Liansheng set off with Mr. Lian’s car to the provincial city.

What surprised Ling Chengyan was that just as she arrived at the office, Yang Hua came knocking on the door.

"What’s the matter?" Ling Chengyan asked in surprise.

Xu Dong had just returned with some water and, upon seeing Yang Hua, smiled, "You kid, what are you doing here so early? Can’t wait to apply for a marriage license already?"
