Wei Hongling pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable, and replied with difficulty, "Okay."
Si Nian came out to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, Ningning rarely comes back, so stay a few more days. I'll rest and go out with you."
"Niannian, maybe next time. I came back this time for something and I have to leave the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow, Lu Cheng will arrive in Jingshi, and they will have to hurry to Xingcheng to pick up their grandparents.
After all this going back and forth, her vacation time is running out.
"Ah? Why are you in such a hurry? I want to have a good chat with you." Si Nian hugged Qin An Ning's arm tightly, "Then sleep with me tonight."
"Go talk to Aunt Zhou yourself. In order to make my sleep more comfortable, she changed the sheets and quilt covers and even sent Zhou Xing to sleep in the army."
"Just say it. Anyway, if you don't go to my house to sleep, I'll sleep here."
"Dinner is ready."
Wen Ling called out from outside the door, and Qin An Ning and the other two hurried out to help set the table.
Everyone at the dinner table was very concerned about Qin An Ning. Even Han Ximei understood the situation and didn't say anything excessive, but everyone could feel her aloofness.
Si Nian's mother couldn't bear to see this and picked up a piece of food for Qin An Ning with chopsticks. "Ning Ning, why didn't you bring your partner to show us?"
Qin An Ning understood what Aunt Si meant and smiled gratefully at her, "Lu Cheng is busy, I'll wait for the next opportunity."
"An Ning, do you have a partner?" Han Ximei looked at Qin An Ning in surprise. How could she not know?
Are you trying to bluff me just to see Chengyu?
Now Qin An Ning is an orphan of a martyr and is not worthy of her son.
"Well, I have a partner." Qin An Ning only maintained superficial politeness towards Han Ximei.
"You live in the countryside, so your partner might also be a farmer, right?" His tone was full of contempt.
Deputy Captain Sui frowned, but did not say anything to stop him.
Qin An Ning's eyes sank slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Comrade Han, do you mean to look down on farmers?
Which of the food on the table is not grown by farmers with hard work?
Without farmers to cultivate the land, city dwellers would not even have enough food to eat. Farmers and workers only have different divisions of labor, and they are both building the country.
Your class ideology is very dangerous. Deputy Commander Sui should help Comrade Han with ideological education when he has time."
When her father was around, her mother didn't like Han Ximei very much, but because Deputy Captain Sui was working with her father, their relationship couldn't become too strained.
After the incident at home, their attitude of avoiding suspicion was very obvious. I'm afraid they came here tonight just to show Zhou Xinping.
Since they are not sincere, there is no need for her to indulge them.
Anyway, there won’t be many opportunities to contact each other in the future.
Si Nian secretly gave Qin An Ning a thumbs up under the table.
The political commissar smiled and eased the atmosphere, "Ningning is right, no matter what your status is, you are contributing to national development.
But you grew up under our care, just like my Nian Nian. No matter who your partner is, if he treats you badly, I won’t forgive him.”
Deputy Captain Sui felt a little embarrassed, so he glared at Han Ximei imperceptibly and then followed suit.
"Political Commissar Si is right. Ningning, if you need anything, just tell Uncle Sui. Don't be so distant."
Qin Anning smiled shyly, her eyes twinkling like a child who didn't know the world. "Originally I was a little embarrassed to mention it, but since Uncle Sui mentioned it, I might as well ask.
A few years ago, your family member Sui Chenggui had an accident and borrowed one thousand yuan from my family. If I remember correctly, he still owes six hundred yuan.
You see, my life in the countryside is quite difficult. I wonder if Uncle Sui is willing to pay me back the money?"
Zhou Xing choked on a mouthful of rice and started coughing. He covered his mouth to apologize and quickly ran to the kitchen to get some water.
Deputy Captain Sui's face turned from clear to pale, and then from white to red, which was very interesting.
"An Ning, how did you become so sharp-tongued?" Han Ximei felt that she had lost face in front of Zhou Xinping, and her resentment towards Qin An Ning increased a bit.
"It's only natural to pay back debts. Didn't Vice Captain Sui tell Ningning to tell him if she needs anything?
Ningning just wants to return her family's money, what's wrong with that?"
Wen Ling didn't wait for Qin An Ning to speak and directly retorted.
Don't think that you can bully Ningning just because Lao Qin and Zhilan are not around.
She and Lao Zhou are still here!
"That's right. It's not easy for Ningning to live alone in the countryside. Ximei, you have to pay back the money you owe the child as soon as possible." Aunt Si also added.
"I will pay it back, of course. I'll send the money tomorrow." Deputy Captain Sui responded awkwardly, sat for a while, and then left early.
After they left, the atmosphere among the remaining three families became more harmonious.
"Ningning, kid, you can't act rashly over there without me and your Uncle Zhou by your side!"
Qin Anning knew that the political commissar was talking about Deputy Regimental Commander Sui, but she did not regret what she did today.
She could understand Han Ximei's flattery and bullying, but she didn't provoke them, so why were they chasing after her and belittling her and Lu Cheng?
Even if Sui Chengyu likes her, she is not the King of the Sea to keep Sui Chengyu hanging, so he can't vent his anger on her!
Qin An Ning poured him some wine, "Uncle Si, I have you here, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wei are protecting me, what should I be afraid of?
I never cause trouble outside, but I'm smart."
Several people laughed, thinking that Qin An Ning's hatred of evil and eccentric personality had not changed.
After dinner, the three families sat together and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye and went home.
"Aunt Zhou, let Ningning sleep at my house tonight. I have a lot to say to her.
Lingling, come join us, let's chat all night long."
Wen Ling knew that the three girls were close, so she didn't stop them. "Okay, then Ningning, come back for dinner tomorrow morning."
Aunt Si jokingly said, "You're the only one with food? How could I possibly need Ningning to eat a meal?"
"Ningning, you heard me. If your aunt Si doesn't make you something delicious tomorrow morning, you must come back and tell me so I can make fun of her." Wen Ling was also joking.
Qin An Ning went back to the house and divided the cigarettes, alcohol and cakes he bought for several families into three portions.
"Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei, this is a little gift from me.
Normally I should come to visit you, but I don’t think you will pick on my gift.”
The main reason was that she had to go to Si Nian's house now and couldn't come back tomorrow to get the things, so she had to give the Wei family's share as well.
"Kid, don't spend money recklessly in the future. If you have money, buy yourself something delicious." Captain Wei scolded affectionately.
Political Commissar Si and Zhou Xinping also said the same thing, "Got it, got it, we'll leave first."
Qin An Ning held one of them and ran away quickly.
The three of them squeezed into one bed, talking about what had happened in the past few years, and no one knew when they fell asleep.
As expected, we all woke up late the next day.
"It's over, it's over. I overslept and forgot to ask for leave." Si Nian was spinning like a top.
She is in the army, a place where discipline is the most important, and she will be punished.
