Chapter 81: Acting like nothing happened.

He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but his hearing is too good. When Aunt Yu keeps questioning him about whether he has a crush on Cen Yan, it makes him quite unhappy.

He originally planned to mention the promotion of key soldiers when he reported to his superiors recently, including the name of Squad Leader Yu.

It seems that Squad Leader Yu's name can be crossed out now.

It wasn't about settling a personal score, but rather that he felt Squad Leader Yu couldn't even handle his own private matters.

Once you rise to the rank of officer, how do you discipline and lead your soldiers?

As for Squad Leader Yu's promotion, let's put that on the agenda again once his family issues are resolved.

Cen Yan was overjoyed that Qi Jingchuan listened to her. She raised her hand and patted the man's shoulder with a proud look on her face.

"Since you've been so obedient, I'll prepare some autumn pears and Qi Bai ointment for you later. Take them to the army tomorrow and share them with your men."

"Autumn pears are for eating. It's good to eat more of them this season. Seven White Paste is for women. Here are twenty bottles for you to take to the army. Give them to whoever you like."

Qi Jingchuan's upturned lips quickly returned to normal: "The army is all men, what would we need women's things for?"

"Idiot! Don't the men in the army have women at home?" Cen Yan rolled her eyes at the man. "Let them take it back to please their wives, so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Cen Yan pointed to the Yu family, who were arguing, and whispered to Qi Jingchuan. Even she didn't dare to speak too loudly when talking badly about others.

This time, Qi Jingchuan genuinely smiled. "Alright, thank you for preparing." He had never really thought about building good relationships with his subordinates before.

Looking back now, marrying Cen Yan was indeed a good choice.

Seeing that Qi Jingchuan didn't ask about the origin of Qiuli and Qibai Ointment, Cen Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's getting late, you should get some rest. Tomorrow is my first day at work, I can't be late."

"Mm." Qi Jingchuan grabbed his toiletries, went to the bathroom to shower, and when he returned to his room, Cen Yan was already asleep.

The Yu family made a scene all night. Around 10 p.m., Wang Lijuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and brought people to their home to give them a lecture, which finally calmed things down.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the Yu family's farce, at least not openly. The residents of the family compound continued to live their lives as usual.

Cen Yan woke up early in the morning but still didn't see Qi Jingchuan. He must have gone to the army early in the morning, leaving only breakfast on the table.

She packed the lunchbox into her storage space and pushed her bicycle outside.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he bumped into Sister Yu.

"Sister-in-law Cen! So early?"

Cen Yan didn't want to talk to Sister Yu, but to her surprise, Sister Yu took the initiative to greet her and hurriedly walked over to walk alongside her.

Since she was smiling, Cen Yan acted as if nothing had happened, saying, "Yeah, it's my first day at work, and I was just looking forward to getting to know the work environment."

“Well, we’re on the same page. The organization arranged an interview for me in the childcare center, and I passed yesterday. I’m starting work today. If you and Commander Qi have children in the future, you can put them in the childcare center, and I’ll help you take good care of them,” Sister Yu said with a smile.

Cen Yan quickly said, "Qi Jingchuan's elders are also on Dongming Island. They plan to have the elders help take care of the baby after she was born, and won't send her to the daycare. Um, Sister Yu, I really don't have time."

"Okay, then hurry up and go, but don't be late."

Aunt Yu smiled and waved, watching Cen Yan's figure gradually disappear into the distance before spitting out a mouthful of saliva with a sullen face.

"Just talk, why are you raising your hand and tapping your watch? Are you showing off?"

It's just a broken watch, why are you acting like nobody cares!
