Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Returned

The next morning, when Bai Fanglan woke up, she found two shopping vouchers beside her pillow. She knew what these were.

They were benefits given by the military, which could be used to receive military-grade leather shoes, cotton-padded jackets, biscuits, and bread—all of high quality.

Mrs. Wang walked in smiling, "You’re up? Wang Hu said when he left that you weren’t feeling well, so you don’t have to visit with me. You can rest at home or visit a classmate if you want. I’m giving you the vouchers; buy whatever you want. It’s just a shame the shops are closed until the fifth day of the New Year."

Bai Fanglan was startled by Wang Hu’s thoughtfulness and quickly smiled, "I didn’t even know when he left. Sorry, Mom. I slept too deeply."

"No problem, just rest up."

Mrs. Wang left. Bai Fanglan held the vouchers, somewhat dazed. This was a kindness to her, right?

She chuckled bitterly. She once had many suitors, starting from college, when many boys liked her and tried every means to get close to her. At that time, she was very proud, thinking they were only interested in her family’s power. And she had someone she liked and wouldn’t be moved. But now, she had fallen to the point where two vouchers warmed her heart.

How pitiful it was.

She held the vouchers, thinking that Sun Chan must have some too, after all, Gu Junming was of high rank.

"That cheap woman really is lucky." She sneered, got up, and went to wash.

The person she cursed, Sun Chan, was already up.

In the village, the New Year atmosphere was more intense. From the moment they woke up, they heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

Sun Chan and Wang Shufen got up early. Wang Shufen helped Mrs. Wang organize the cooking, while Sun Chan pasted couplets with glue.

In the countryside, the most lavish meal is usually eaten on New Year’s Eve. Lunch and breakfast are just simple meals to get by.

Gu Junming wasn’t there, so everyone had little appetite, Wang Shufen even less so, worried about the impact of her ex-husband’s deeds on Kangkang’s future.

It had snowed a little outside. Sun Chan pasted the couplets and then swept the snow from the yard. As she swept, she watched the road, anxiously waiting for news from Gu Junming, wondering why he hadn’t returned after leaving several days ago.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang smiled, thinking, this daughter-in-law truly cares about Mingzi.

The Wang Family was also worried about Gu Junming, anxiously waiting for him. They didn’t have the mind to eat, just swallowed a few frozen dumplings to get by.

Ding Kang noticed his uncle was always absent, so he asked what was going on, but they just brushed him off casually.

Finally, in the afternoon, as the sky was turning dark, Gu Junming returned. His clothes were covered in ice crystals and were torn in several places, making him look quite miserable. He had some wounds on his face and neck as well. The whole family gathered around when they saw the scene.

"What happened? Did something happen?"

"Yeah, something happened while rescuing a child." Gu Junming nonchalantly smiled, "Just minor injuries."

"Did you find the child?" Father Wang asked.

"Found them. Dad, don’t worry, the child is fine." Gu Junming replied with a smile.
