All morning, An Ran sat on the balcony, waiting for the team mbers from the exercise to return.
An Ran only knew that Mu Xingfeng and their exercise had ended today, and the blue team Mu Xingfeng was part of had won.
Although Mu Xingfeng was reassigned to a mission during the exercise, the blue team mbers were all from the Nan’an Guard Team, and even if Mu Xingfeng didn’t participate later, his soldiers were still among them.
By almost noon, there was still no news. An Ran couldn’t wait any longer, so she went downstairs to the small shop for a walkaround—it was the place where news spread.
Sure enough, a few of the sisters-in-law were sitting in front of the small shop, picking vegetables and chatting.
Seeing An Ran coming over, Sister-in-law Wang waved at her, "Captain Mu’s wife, here to buy sothing?"
Although An Ran also lived in the Guard Team’s family building, she usually didn’t co down to chat with everyone here. Sister-in-law Wang knew that An Ran was most likely here to buy sothing at this ti.
"We’re out of salt at ho, so I ca to buy a pack," An Ran said, glancing at the vegetables in Sister-in-law Wang’s basket, making a joke. "Sister-in-law Wang, are you preparing to welco back Captain Tao?"
On the day she ca to the Guard Team, Mu Xingfeng introduced her, and she knew that Sister-in-law Wang’s Captain Tao and Sister-in-law Sun’s Captain Li, along with Mu Xingfeng, were in the sa group. Mu Xingfeng had also told her she could ask Sister-in-law Wang or Sister-in-law Song for help if needed.
Anyone who earned Mu Xingfeng’s approval could not be wrong.
Sister-in-law Wang continued picking vegetables while laughing, "Why would we need to welco them? The canteen’s big pot al is already cooked, I can even sll the at from here. Since our Guard Team won this round, the Guard Team will naturally welco the team mbers back. My kid Yingying is picky and doesn’t like the canteen food, so I’m making her so greens. If you ask , you shouldn’t cook either, just head to the canteen for ready-made food later."
Sister-in-law Wang rambled on like a chain gun, and An Ran also figured out that Mu Xingfeng and the others wouldn’t be back until noon, at best.
"I’ll buy the salt first and talk once Xingfeng returns, you stay busy, Sister-in-law Wang," An Ran greeted Sister-in-law Wang, bought the salt, and went back ho.
She could no longer sit still, so she simply took out her phone to play a ga or two.
As soon as she logged into the ga interface, she found Xiao Xiao online.
Xiao Xiao had been working with her mom in the hospital all this sumr and rarely went online to play gas, so she clicked and initiated a chat with her.
I Am An Ran: Girl, why are you online playing gas today?
Wind and Rain Xiao Xiao: My mom got transferred to pediatrics, where the workload is half that of obstetrics, so I’m free now. My mom told to enjoy the latter half of the vacation carefreely.
I Am An Ran: Nice, why don’t you co to Nan’an then, I’m so bored at the Guard Team.
Wind and Rain Xiao Xiao: Ugh, please spare . I can imagine you’ve already switched to dog slaughter mode at the Guard Team.
I Am An Ran: Where? I haven’t seen Instructor Mu for a week since coming back from the mountains. They went for an exercise.
Wind and Rain Xiao Xiao: Didn’t the exercise end today?
I Am An Ran: Yeah, but Instructor Mu hasn’t co back yet. Wait, how do you know the exercise ended today?
Military exercises aren’t certain to end on a particular day until the final decision; even she learned from Liu Hu this morning that the blue team launched a final attack last night and finished before dawn. While the Guard Team hadn’t returned yet, Xiao Xiao already knew the exercise was over. It seed she underestimated the two of them.
Sure enough, after she asked this question, the other side went offline imdiately.
