The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 318 - 317

"The two elders couldn’t rest easy, leaving the crops to the elder and second brothers. They came to help look after the children." Wang Liansheng quietly explained to Ling Chengyan.

"This..." Even though Ling Chengyan was always calm and composed, she was touched by such loving and caring elders.

Aunt Qu Cui held Ling Chengyan’s hand and smiled, "Don’t worry about us, there’s nothing wrong at home. Your elder and second brothers didn’t want us to tire, so they planted only beans and corn, and it’s all harvested. Other odds and ends were entrusted to Zhanrong by your uncle, he’s watching over them, and will harvest when needed."

Uncle took a lap inside and outside the house with his tobacco pipe, smiling and nodding, "This house is nice, enough for a family to live in."

Aunt chuckled, "It’s just, no kang here, at this time at home we should be tidying the kang hole and preparing to heat the kang."

Uncle glanced at her and said, "There’s no firewood in the city, what would we use to burn the kang!"

Ling Chengyan smiled, "Elder brother came once a few days ago and helped renovate the fire wall, in winter we use a coal stove, it’s warm too."

As she spoke, she assisted Aunt into the house and pointed to a large bed against the fire wall, saying, "This bed is next to the fire wall, you two can live here, it’s warm."

Both Uncle and Aunt waved their hands together, "Let the children live here, let the children live."

Finally, it was Ling Chengyan who explained to them that she would prepare electric blankets for the children, and only then did the two elders agree.

Since everyone was here, the idle kitchen in the house must be utilized; Aunt did not require Ling Chengyan to lift a finger, and pulled Wang Liansheng to assist her, quickly preparing a table full of dishes.

Ling Chengyan poured wine for the two elders and Wang Liansheng, smiling and asking, "The stove and pot here are small, can Aunt get used to them?"

"Oh, they are a bit small, but I’m getting used to them just fine." Aunt Qu Cui said with a smile, "No wonder they say city people’s stoves are cleaner than our dinner tables, they don’t use firewood or emit smoke, how can they not be clean!"

The family laughed and finished their meal, Uncle and Aunt had traveled a long way and were tired, so they let the elders rest at home while Ling Chengyan and Wang Liansheng took the two kids to school to familiarize them with the area and handle transfer and enrollment procedures.

They both attended dependent schools, with entrance tests to determine classes.

At this time, there wasn’t much bilingual education, the curriculum learned by children in the district wasn’t much different from that in the provincial capital, and furthermore, Wang Wenzhang was just a first-grade student, easily passing the entry tests; little Xing entered Junior One Class of the Junior section, while Shi Tou joined the primary section as a first-grade student.

Coincidentally, autumn school uniforms were being customized, so Ling Chengyan paid for the two children’s uniforms, which they could wear when school started.

The family then went to buy some daily necessities, toothbrushes, and washbasins for Uncle and Aunt. Ling Chengyan also bought the elders a set of tea sets and a pound of jasmine tea; the elders were used to drinking this, as they didn’t quite enjoy the clear tea that Ling Chengyan drank.

The house had a kitchen, bathroom, and plumbing, the elders learned to use the gas stove and coal furnace; Wang Liansheng rushed back to Huicheng on the last day of the holiday, and Ling Chengyan trusted the house to the elders and went on to her affairs.

With the special training team newly established, they received a task as the national shooting competition would be held in Jiang Province in late December.

Ling Chengyan was notified and gathered the deputy leader, instructor, and all squads and teams to discuss the personnel to participate in this competition.

Zhang Yuanhong looked at Ling Chengyan, "If the captain could lead the team, there’s no worry about winning a prize."

Ling Chengyan smiled, "Are you trying to get me to praise your shooting skills?"

Everyone laughed.

Ling Chengyan suggested, "I propose voluntary registration first; teams and squads can also recommend, then we let the skill speak; whoever’s the strongest goes."

Zhang Yuanhong emphasized, "We’re newly established, and you never know how many are waiting to see us fail. Go and tell everyone, no matter who goes, don’t disgrace our team."

Tian Kai then said, "Nothing else to say; training rounds are guaranteed, no need to save or calculate, use them freely until you can’t shoot anymore."

Ling Chengyan and Zhang Yuanhong were famous sharpshooters, but hadn’t had the chance to compete together these past years; this shooting competition piqued both their interests, so after the meeting, they went to the shooting range, casually borrowing two guns from the soldiers, each fired ten rounds.

Ling Chengyan was quick and resolved swiftly, while Zhang Yuanhong was steady and firm; ultimately, Ling Chengyan won again with a score of 100 rings against Zhang Yuanhong’s 96 rings.

Ling Chengyan tossed the gun back to the soldiers and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, good job, you’ve not let the skill down."

She never left the skill, while Zhang Yuanhong became a clerk after transferring to the provincial office; over the years, he was able to maintain this level, which was outstanding, indicating he practiced in his spare time.

Zhang Yuanhong shook his head with a bitter smile, "I’ll take it as praise."

"It truly is." Ling Chengyan said.

The two joked as they left the shooting range; just as they entered the office, the guard stood up to report—

A recent order was received to immediately gather and rush to the Southern Mountain Area for rescue; there was a major safety accident with a few vehicles falling into the mountain ravine, requiring a descent for rescue.

Ling Chengyan’s gaze sharpened, she immediately ordered the assembly call to be sounded.

The vehicles roared out as each squad hurried to board, and within five minutes, all vehicles departed the camp.

Ling Chengyan sat in the driver’s cab of the leading vehicle, holding the walkie-talkie, while the communication soldier beside her tried to contact headquarters, intermittently sending and receiving information.

The convoy sped to the accident site; police and ambulances were already parked around the scene. As the military vehicles arrived, the previously disordered scene quieted down.

Ling Chengyan jumped out of the car, searching for the command personnel on-site and inspecting the accident situation.

The accident was caused by unclear vision due to heavy fog, leading to successive rear-end crashes. Two heavy trucks overturned two cars and a bus, rolling them into the valley; an initial estimate indicated 40 to 50 people involved.

Ling Chengyan immediately directed personnel to install descent facilities, organize people to descend the valley to investigate, and then proceed with further rescue.

The special training team members were capable of rappelling down hundred-meter wild cliffs, let alone this twenty-something to not-quite-thirty-meter small mountain ravine, which was a piece of cake.

In just over ten minutes, the personnel who descended into the valley relayed messages via walkie-talkie: the bus and the car were severely damaged, some injured individuals managed to crawl out of the compartments themselves, while some, due to serious injuries or being trapped, were still inside.

Ling Chengyan ordered, "Split into two groups, one leading those not seriously injured out of the valley via another route, the other finding a way to rescue people."

Then she added, "Check for fuel leaks from the vehicles, avoid open flames, and stay safe!"

After the special training team attached the descent ropes into the valley, the firefighters and other rescue personnel also descended, while another group went down the valley by a roundabout route to receive the lightly injured.

At this moment, a report came through Ling Chengyan’s walkie-talkie again: "A black car is severely deformed; three people trapped inside. The young woman in the passenger seat is already deceased, while the driver and the elderly in the backseat are seriously injured..."
