The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 90 - 89: Wang Liansheng Comes Home
Ling Chengyan slightly raised her eyebrows, "Oh, I got it."
Agreeing, she leisurely and unhurriedly gathered her things and got off the vehicle, tossing the keys to Ma Dajun who was following, and said to Zhang Wanxiang and Wu Qingyun, "Are you two free tonight? If you are, come over for a meal."
"Okay..." Zhang Wanxiang instinctively wanted to agree, but was pulled back by Wu Qingyun.
"Squad Leader, we won’t be going over for dinner. We’ve got to study tonight, the exams are coming up in a few days." Wu Qingyun said with a smile.
Zhang Wanxiang came to his senses as well, quickly agreeing with a dry laugh, "Yes, yes, I’m stupid, always can’t memorize... I’ll study tonight, prepare well for the exams, can’t embarrass Sister Yan."
Ling Chengyan looked at the two, shaking her head somewhat helplessly, "Alright then, when you pass your exams, I’ll make a few good dishes to celebrate with you."
Meanwhile, Ma Dajun had gently parked the car in the garage, the sound of the brakes drawing the attention of Zhang Wanxiang and Wu Qingyun. They watched Ma Dajun jump off the vehicle and carefully hand the keys to Ling Chengyan, adopting a posture like a schoolboy awaiting critique or reprimand, making the tall man look comically timid.
But in the hearts of Zhang Wanxiang and Wu Qingyun, the humor was secondary; what dominated was envy, deep envy.
They entered the Automobile Company at the same time as Ma Dajun, yet in both drills and theoretical study, Ma Dajun was always trailing behind. Zhang Wanxiang also claimed to be dumb, but he felt confident next to Ma Dajun.
That’s the kind of person who was initially pitied and ridiculed when assigned to the notoriously strict Zhou Guoqing. But now? While they’re still stumbling over the vehicle maintenance exam, Ma Dajun has already advanced to learning how to drive, backing into garages with ease.
Absolutely a study slacker turned success story!
How could they not be envious, even jealous!
Ling Chengyan was unaware of their inner musings. Accepting the car keys, she gave Ma Dajun a word of advice, "Study your theory well tonight, don’t let the mentor down!"
The mentor in her mind and mouth was always Zhou Guoqing. Both she and Ma Dajun were his apprentices. Now, with the mentor away, she’s temporarily filling in as the senior sister.
Bidding farewell to the group, Ling Chengyan went home as usual, without any rush or excitement.
Encountering a fellow soldier returning to park, she heard that a shipment of oranges had just arrived at the military supply office, so she detoured there halfway, queued for half an hour, bought five pounds of oranges, and returned home at dusk.
Upon entering the house, Ling Chengyan saw Xiaoxing bent over, tugging on a strap as if walking a dog with Shi Tou.
Little Shi Tou, well-nourished, was sturdy and chubby like a little pig, yet very energetic, full of endless energy all day long. Having just learned to walk, he was very excited, wanting to get up and move as soon as he opened his eyes until he fell asleep.
Initially, adults bent over to support him walking, but bending for a whole day left them unbearably exhausted, with back pain as if it were breaking.
Drawing advice from older sisters and aunts, Ling Chengyan sewed a harness with towels for the toddler, with a long strap on top. Adults could hold the strap to prevent the child from falling or running off. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
After Xiaoyu sewed and equipped Shi Tou, Ling Chengyan couldn’t help but laugh: it was like a dog leash!
Ling Chengyan washed her hands, took over "walking" Shi Tou, and said, "Try the oranges, are they tasty, and send one to your Aunt Xiaoyu."
Just then, Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen holding two plates of dishes, saying, "This is a rarity, let Xiaoxing and Shi Tou savor them slowly, I can’t eat them, too sour."
Xiaoxing had already peeled an orange, tasted a segment herself, and happily said, "Not sour, Mom, try, Aunt, you try too!"
With that, she handed a segment to both Ling Chengyan and Xiaoyu.
The oranges weren’t large, the skin was thin, and they were quite sweet with just a slight tang, fragrant and delicious, perfectly balanced between sweet and sour.
Xiaoxing peeled one and gave it to Xiaoyu, then continued to eat her own orange. Suddenly, she spoke while holding a piece of orange in her mouth, "Can I call you ’Mom’ in the future?"
The words were unclear with the orange in her mouth, and it took Ling Chengyan a moment to realize what the little girl was saying.
Finding it funny, she asked, "Why suddenly start calling me Mom?"
With downcast eyes and in a soft voice, Xiaoxing said, "Xing Fei, Dalin, and Xiaoshuang all call their moms that."
Ling Chengyan lifted her hand to gently rub her small braid, saying with a loving smile, "Call me whatever you want. Mom and Mom are the same, you are my daughter, there’s no mistake."
Xiaoxing seemed to suddenly understand and rolled into Ling Chengyan’s arms along her arm with giggles.
Wang Liansheng came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of soup, instantly seeing the harmonious scene of mother and daughters.
Such a warm picture, and yet for a brief moment, Wang Liansheng was lost in thought. The young woman before him, even when sitting on a low stool with one hand holding on and the other embracing, maintained a straight back, her head slightly bowed, snuggling intimately with the little girl in her arms, wearing a smile. However, that smile was shallow and faint, and her eyes no longer carried the softness he once knew, replaced by decisiveness, boldness, even extraordinary capability and decisiveness in decision-making.
In just a few short months, she transformed from a rural woman, championing in military competitions at county and district levels, to a fast-tracked enlistment, promotion, and appointment as female squad leader...
All sorts of emotions flashed through his eyes, yet he quickly collected them, suppressed them, and raised a smile, greeting, "You’re back, let’s get ready to eat!"
Ling Chengyan looked up, glanced at him and responded faintly, then untied the strap from Shi Tou and directly placed him into a sideways chair. The chair’s beam formed a frame, confining the never-resting troublemaker, preventing escape or falls, while Ling Chengyan held a bowl of steamed eggs and used a small spoon to test the temperature before feeding it straight into Shi Tou’s mouth.
The little one grew fast, with an appetite vastly expanding. From half a steamed egg initially, now he could eat one and a half each meal.
Being fed the same daily became tiresome; the little one preferred dipping bun in vegetable soup, and a small piece of meat would delight him, his little mouth smacking happily for quite a while.
After skillfully feeding the egg, Xiaoyu was almost done eating. She scooped the leftover softened rice grains from the rice porridge and fed them to Shi Tou.
The little glutton, with high energy levels and a big appetite, found both the egg and rice grains delicious. While eating, his eyes were still glued to the table’s food, a little palm tapping the chair leg, he exclaimed loudly, "Up... up..."
Xiaoxing fed him a small piece of stir-fried cabbage leaf, correcting him, "Eat, not ’up’!"
"Up... up... jiajia, jiajia, up..." Shi Tou continued squealing.
Xiaoxing scoffed, "Mom, why is Shi Tou so dumb, he can’t even say ’sister’, he says ’jiajia, jiajia’... like a big crow!"
