Gu Shaojun, stationed in the South, lived up to his future parents-in-law's "expectations." He didn't have time to call Xiao Man, but he still learned that she had returned to Gongdao Village for the New Year. This was, of course, because Mr. Gu had arranged for someone to "unintentionally" leak the news to him.
And so, on the fifth day of Xiao Man's return to Gongdao Village, Gu Shaojun was transferred from the border defense unit to a rear post. The moment he got back to his unit, he immediately secured a business trip to the Wancheng military sub-district. Upon arriving in Wancheng, he used his lunch break to drive at breakneck speed to Gongdao Village. After greeting Grandpa and Grandma and getting their permission, he whisked Xiao Man away, promising he would definitely have her back before New Year's Eve.
