Chapter 989: Chapter 993:

Xiao Yurou heard their conversation and felt very nervous, after all, the matter of Third Group’s Deputy Company Commander Sun’s sacrifice hasn’t passed.

Li Laixiang, worried about scaring Yunyi, quickly explained, "It’s really not what you’re thinking. We just happened to be off today, so we thought we’d drop by your house."

Yunyi didn’t believe her words, but since they weren’t saying more, she’d just go ask at the army side later.

At this point, she looked towards the unfamiliar woman following behind, "And who is this?"

Li Laixiang quickly introduced, "This is our Political Commissar Guan’s wife, Feng Yuelan."

Yunyi didn’t expect the Commissar’s wife to come to her place, "Hello, please have a seat."

Feng Yuelan nodded slightly at Yunyi, "I heard my husband mention Deputy Regimental Commander Huo married a pretty wife, but I never had the chance to meet her. Today, I just happened to run into them in the courtyard, and I took the liberty to come along."

Yunyi didn’t believe what she said was true, "Sister-in-law coming makes this house much more distinguished, no need to talk about taking liberties. You’re very welcome here."

Though her mind was occupied with Huo Jingrui’s matter, since they visited, she had to bear it and host them patiently.

Fang Xiuping and Li Laixiang indeed weren’t lying; today they really had the same day off, but their men had entrusted them with an important task, to come and show care.

However, they genuinely didn’t expect Yunyi to be so sensitive. ℯℯ𝑙.

Yunyi poured sugar water for everyone before returning to her seat.

Feng Yuelan set her cup on the small table beside her, "I heard you took the college entrance exam this year, how did you do?"

Yunyi didn’t mention her score or that she was the Ji Province’s top science student; some things are best kept personal, no need to spread around town. She didn’t like being treated like a spectacle, "I did okay."

Feng Yuelan continued asking, "Which university did you apply to?"

Yunyi didn’t hide this since it couldn’t be hidden; in a few days, when the acceptance letter arrived, everyone would know, "I applied to a medical school."

However, Yunyi felt this person was overly interested in her matters, so she was cautious and didn’t specify which medical school she applied to.

Li Laixiang heard she was studying medicine, "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember hearing that you saved Camp Commander Shen’s wife from the Fourth Group that day?"

Yunyi smiled faintly, "I just happened to be there and gave a hand."

Feng Yuelan frowned slightly, not knowing about that day’s events or Yunyi’s situation, and felt she might have just stumbled upon the situation by chance.

Seeing how casually Yunyi spoke, she thought Yunyi might be a bit of a show-off, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Yunyi, being very perceptive, noticed the fleeting change in Feng Yuelan’s expression despite having her mind on multiple things, indicating this person wasn’t friendly.

After chatting for a while, Feng Yuelan couldn’t sit still anymore and wanted to leave; naturally, Fang Xiuping and Li Laixiang also bade farewell and left.

After seeing them off, Xiao Yurou didn’t stay long either. She was a careful person and noticed Yunyi had been preoccupied ever since they arrived.

Once everyone left, Yunyi took out a serving of pickled fish and a spicy shredded potato dish, warming them on the stove. She also steamed rice, adding just enough firewood to cook it without any excess.

After locking the front door, she turned to enter the neighboring Lü family, "Sister-in-law, here’s my house key. When Zining and the others return, give it to them. I’ll go out for a bit and be back shortly."

Wan Ruhua took it with a smile and didn’t ask where Yunyi was going, thinking Yunyi was worried Zining might come back and not be able to enter. She just reminded her, "Be careful walking, don’t go where the snow hasn’t been cleared."

The family compound had young soldiers helping to clear pathways, so traveling was not a concern.
