Chapter 98 She is Special
Lin Anan felt a little embarrassed by the compliments, and her face flushed: "Thank you for the compliments, aunts. I just do some haircuts in my free time, just for fun. I hope you like it."
Aunt Chu also came out of the house, looking at the lively scene, smiling from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, everyone stop standing in the wind and chatting, just visit more when you have time. An'an, we still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise we will miss it."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Anan came back to her senses and said goodbye to her neighbors. "Uncles and aunts, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. We'll talk later."
The crowd then dispersed, and they did not forget to remind Lin Anan to visit them at her home when she was free.
When Lin Anan and the others left the house, they could still hear the neighbors whispering along the way:
"The more you look at this daughter-in-law of the Chu family, the more she attracts attention."
"That's right. I misunderstood her before. Now it seems that she is a rare good girl."
"Let my daughter-in-law come over more often tomorrow. This girl came from far away and doesn't even have any friends..."
Lin Anan was in a good mood as she listened to her neighbors' discussions.
After packing up, a few people went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
As there were many children, Aunt Chu did not let them go with her. She only told Chu Minglan to lock the door and keep an eye on her younger brothers.
Along the way, Lin Anan was held by Aunt Chu and listened to her talk about Chu Mingzhou's childhood.
"Mingzhou was not like this when he was a child. He was not dull and was as naughty as a monkey. He was rarely seen when he went up the mountains and down the rivers every day..."
"Really? I thought he was always calm and composed."
"Hahaha, when he was a kid he was much more noisy than Yu Ge'er. He bullied others and before anyone came to him to ask for justice, he would cry and complain first."
The Chu family was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. The further they walked along the road, the more lively it became.
When we got closer to the supply and marketing cooperative, we saw crowds of people everywhere, as if the air was filled with the festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year.
"sister in law."
Not long after the three of them entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Anan heard Lu Qing's voice.
When she turned around, Lu Qingren was already behind her.
"Sister-in-law, what a coincidence."
Lin Anan smiled and responded: "Yes, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy New Year's goods too?"
"Yes, a friend came from the north and refused to leave. He said he wanted to spend the New Year with me. So I came to buy some things for the New Year."
As he was speaking, another person came up from behind Lu Qing, and Lin Anan looked up and saw Qiao Xu.
Qiao Xu didn't take it seriously at first, and was playing with the cigarette in his hand! But when he looked up, he saw Lin Anan, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Comrade Lin."
Lu Qing was slightly surprised, "Do you know each other?"
Lin Anan frowned slightly, her expression a little cold, "Not really acquaintance, we just met once yesterday."
Lu Qing didn't notice anything wrong and introduced him warmly: "Oh, let me introduce you to my good friend from my hometown, Qiao Xu. He is currently the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the Northern Military Region Air Force."
"Ah Xu, this is Lin Anan. Comrade Lin, I'm sure you saw her wonderful performance yesterday."
"Yes." Qiao Xu quickly pinched the cigarette in his hand and put it in his pocket. He subconsciously smoothed his hair and looked at Lin Anan with a smile, "Comrade Lin, we meet again."
Lin Anan nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Qiao Xu seemed not to notice her attitude, and still said enthusiastically: "Comrade Lin, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. Your performance yesterday was very wonderful and impressive."
Lin Anan didn't want to argue with him any more, so she just politely replied, "Thank you."
Lu Qing seemed to remember something, "Sister-in-law, you helped me so much this time. I should have gone to your house this morning to thank you, but something happened and I was delayed."
Lin Anan politely declined, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me specially. Besides, as a military wife, I am very happy to be able to do my part for the organization."
Qiao Xu's eyes darkened. She was both his sister-in-law and a military wife. Hearing this, he felt a little disappointed.
"Sister, come and look at this..."
Lu Qing wanted to say something else, but Lin Anan said goodbye first, "My brother called me, I have to go and do my work first, you guys take your time shopping."
"Okay then. I'll tell Ming Zhou then."
"Um."
Lin Anan bought a lot of things. Aunt Chu was very quick and bought everything the family needed in less than half an hour.
All the things were put into the backpack and Lin Zihuai carried it.
As soon as the three of them left the supply and marketing cooperative, Tang Jingqiao arrived.
"Qiao Xu, what are you looking at?"
Seeing Qiao Xu staring blankly in one direction, she followed his gaze.
Lin Anan?
Lin Anan's figure is easy to recognize. Even though she is wearing a thick cotton jacket, it is easy to see that she is thin.
Moreover, the way she walked was completely different from the female comrades here. She walked in a graceful and delicate manner.
What's more, Aunt Chu is with her.
Qiao Xu sighed, "It's nothing, it's just a pity."
Tang Jingqiao withdrew her gaze, disgust flashing in her eyes.
After buying things, they went to Lu Qing's yard.
Lu Qing and Qiao Xu were from the same military compound, were of similar age, grew up together, and knew each other.
But after Lu Qing came to the Northwest, the two were thousands of miles apart and had few opportunities to visit each other.
As for Tang Jingqiao and Qiao Xu, they were middle school classmates. Both of their fathers were brigade-level cadres, so naturally they had close contacts. The two families had wanted to become relatives several times.
However, things went against their wishes. The man was heartless and the woman was indifferent, and the two of them just couldn't stand each other.
Moreover, Tang Jingqiao's academic performance was not good, and she went to Kyoto to study just to gild her resume. After graduating from high school, she returned to the Northwest and joined the Northwest Propaganda Department.
After they entered the courtyard, Lu Qing put all the New Year's goods on the table and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we have bought everything. You guys don't want to stay in Kyoto, but insist on spending the New Year with me. You really cause me trouble."
There were two other people in Lu Qing's yard, one was Mu Youwei and the other was Qiao Xu's little follower.
Qiao Xu insisted on staying in the Northwest to celebrate the New Year. They were used to praising him and did not dare to disobey him, so of course they had to accompany him.
As soon as Qiao Xu entered the room, he sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and half-lying there lazily. He was still lost in thoughts about his recent encounter with Lin Anan, and was in a bad mood.
Tang Jingqiao looked at his absent-minded look and pondered for a moment.
Mu Youwei poured tea for Qiao Xu, "Ah Xu, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't brought me along, I wouldn't have known so many old leaders. By the way, our art troupe will go on a border tour in the early spring of next year..."
Mu Youwei is very handsome, with feminine features but not feminine. He is polite and gentle with a gentle temperament.
Even Tang Jingqiao looked at him several more times.
Qiao Xu just hummed lightly and flicked the ash casually, obviously not in the mood to listen to him.
"A Xu, I heard that you had a quarrel with someone yesterday? Was it because of me?" Mu Youwei asked.
Qiao Xu frowned slightly, "No! However, the people in the Northwest Art Troupe are good and very talented."
"You mean the violin player?"
"Well, she is the most special."
Mu Youwei nodded and said, "That female comrade is indeed very talented. It would be great if I had the chance to meet her. I heard that she is not from the Northwest Art Troupe, but such a good talent will be recruited sooner or later."
Tang Jingqiao narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively: "Qiao Xu, are you saying that Lin Anan is special?"
