Although it was a campfire gathering with food prepared, fearing that she might not be used to it, Yang Yunhai got up and made some noodles for Gu Lingling first.

The tomato and egg pinch noodle soup he made was simply exceptional.

Moreover, this kind of pinch noodle soup is very nourishing.

The noodles were pinched thin, paired with the soup, and with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, it was really appetizing and delicious.

Gu Lingling ate two small bowls.

Seeing her satisfied look, Yang Yunhai felt happier than anything.

Since they had eaten dinner already and arrived a bit late, the fire was already lit, with a large pile in the middle.

The head chef from the kitchen even brought over a lamb, roasting it there, with the lamb bones being simmered in a large pot of bone broth, exuding a savory aroma from afar.

The lambs here are all raised on mountain grass and spring water, making the meat tender and without any gamy taste.

Gu Lingling walked over to take a look.

On a row of long tables, there were many cold dishes laid out, as well as some hot dishes being steamed in pots.

The atmosphere felt just like a rural family hosting a celebration.

Lights were strung all around, making it very bright.

A squad leader was already leading his team into the area.

The young soldiers couldn’t stop looking around, taking in everything, but their formation was still as orderly as ever.

How many days had they been enlisted?

And already they had such high competence.

Some military wives were also there early to help out, and when Gu Lingling looked around, she told Yang Yunhai and joined the wives.

Since they came to the base every year, there were a few military wives she recognized.

Seeing Gu Lingling arrive, they all paused their work to say hello to her.

Just because she’s young, that doesn’t mean she’s unimportant, because her husband is their husbands’ leader.

Even if they don’t become close with Gu Lingling, at least they shouldn’t offend her.

All women know the power of pillow talk.

"Lingling is here." An older wife said happily upon seeing Gu Lingling, "I was just saying I needed to thank you."

Gu Lingling was puzzled.

Thank me?

Thank me for what?

All she knew was that this wife’s husband was also in the Special Forces Group, and that was about it.

"Our Er Niu has been making great academic progress these days," the wife said proudly, "He used to be impatient with studying, always saying he’d become a soldier like his dad."

"And now?" someone close to her asked.

"Now, he says that a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and to be a general, you need education." So now he studies diligently, reading late into the night before sleeping. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

This was something that had never happened before.

"It’s a good thing when a child wants to learn," Gu Lingling said with a smile, "Er Niu is motivated, I really didn’t do anything."

She had just given him a little guidance.

After hearing this wife talk, Gu Lingling recalled that Er Niu was the big guy she remembered from before.

Looking at the wife, she was quite tall and strong, and now she realized Er Niu must have inherited it from her.

"Motivated? It’s your guidance that’s effective," the wife said in admiration, "We should learn more from you."

Gu Lingling smiled a little.

She wanted to help out, but was stopped by the wife, "Just watch while we do it, there’s too much grease here."

The delicate Teacher Gu is not suited for such rough work.

"You don’t know this, but our Teacher Gu is also very good at cooking."
