"Tingting, are you willing to live with me in this military camp in the future?"
Qin Ting was stunned for three seconds before organizing her words: "Xi Lang, shouldn't soldiers' grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law live in the barracks?"
A group of new recruits marched past.
The squad leader was a soldier who had been led by Xi Lang himself. He had heard that Captain Xi had found a super beautiful girlfriend. Now that he saw her in person, he immediately had evil intentions of stirring up trouble.
"Stand at attention!" the squad leader ordered.
The recruits all stood still.
"Call!"
The new recruits: "Hello, Captain Xi! Hello, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
Qin Ting's big eyes flickered as she looked at the energetic smiling faces and was unable to react for a moment.
Xi Lang laughed and kicked the monitor's butt: "Run ten kilometers as punishment!"
The squad leader saluted in a mock military manner: "Yes!"
He turned to the soldiers and said, "Captain Xi said that today's 20km endurance training will be changed to a 10km run. Why don't you hurry up and thank Captain Xi?"
The new recruits shouted in unison: "Thank you, Battalion Commander Xi."
To prevent Xi Lang from changing his mind, the squad leader smiled and ran away with the recruits.
Xi Lang turned around: "Tingting, what did you just say? What grandson?"
"The current policy on accompanying the troops is that spouses and children can have quotas, but as for grandchildren... it seems that's not possible." Xi Lang added seriously.
Qin Ting's pretty face suddenly turned red: "Ah...that's not what I meant."
Her voice trailed off: "Are you an officer?"
Xi Lang smiled without saying anything and took Qin Ting to his single dormitory.
The dormitory is not big, with a military iron bed and a green military blanket neatly folded into tofu blocks.
There is a desk by the window with only a desk lamp on it. When you open the drawer, you can see some stationery and books, as well as a photo album that records Xi Lang's life from just joining the recruit company, to winning every military competition, to becoming the youngest battalion commander in the entire military region.
Qin Ting flipped through the photos and finally convinced herself that Xi Lang was not a truck driver, but the handsome military officer that girls of this era most wanted to marry.
No wonder Chu Li cares so much about Xi Lang.
"Tingting." Qin Lang stood behind Qin Ting, looking at her back which was gilded by the setting sun, and forcibly restrained the urge to hug her. "Now, I have no secrets from you anymore. Can you answer my question? Will you be willing to..."
"I do." Qin Ting turned around and smiled at him.
The bright smile adds a bit of warmth to this single dormitory filled with an abstinence atmosphere.
After receiving Qin Ting's affirmative answer, Xi Lang felt relieved and his blood was boiling.
He wanted to rush over and hug Qin Ting, to express his joy to the fullest. However, he couldn't, because Tingting was still a student, and he had to wait patiently until she graduated from high school before they could have physical contact.
Xi Lang suddenly opened the door and strode out of the dormitory.
He caught a battalion commander who had just returned from training, hugged him, and the entire corridor echoed with his hearty laughter.
Everyone who stayed in the dormitory stuck their heads out.
The battalion commander who was hugged looked confused.
"Captain Xi, you..."
"Old Lu, I have a wife. Do you have one?" Xi Lang felt an irresistible urge in his chest, wanting to tell the good news to the whole world.
After hugging enough and finishing talking, Captain Lu suddenly let go of her hand before he could answer, and walked away like a scumbag.
Captain Lu, who has no wife: "..."
Am I part of your play?!
Qin Ting saw Xi Lang's childish and funny side through the window, and the smile on her lips deepened.
She could feel that he really cherished her.
Before the evening self-study class, Xi Lang sent Qin Ting back to school and told him that his mission outside was over and he would stay in the army most of the time in the future, so the time they spent together might be less.
Qin Ting felt a little reluctant, but didn't tell him.
As it is the last semester before the college entrance examination, she is destined to be very busy.
When she returned to the classroom, her deskmate Ma Jia had already picked up her books and placed them neatly on her desk.
"Classmate, have you finished your math test? Do you need me to check it for you?!" Ma Jia said the classic opening remarks after the holiday with a smile.
Qin Ting handed her the math test paper familiarly.
"Do you want English?"
"What about Chinese?"
Ma Jia: "Yes, yes, yes, you are so nice, deskmate!"
The first self-study class ended with Qin Ting previewing the new lesson and Ma Jia writing furiously.
The moment the bell rang, Ma Jia slumped over the table in frustration: "Classmate, if I work my butt off from now on, can I get into a university in Beijing with you?"
"You're going to Beijing?" Qin Ting was puzzled.
Ma Jia once said that she was reluctant to leave the good life at home, did not want to move far away, and wanted to stay in the city to go to university.
"Ah...it's so annoying at home!" Ma Jia had a look of despair on her face, and in a dejected tone, she said something that shocked Qin Ting the most, "You met my parents and my brother during the winter vacation."
Only then did Qin Ting realize that Ma Jia was actually Ma Yuejin's sister.
From her, I learned that Ma Yuejin and Yun Yao's marriage was finalized by their parents.
The eldest sister Ma Ling's in-laws had originally broken off the engagement, but when they heard that the Ma family had made friends with a prominent family in the capital, they changed their minds and agreed to let Ma Ling marry into their family.
The Ma family turned a disaster into a blessing and became the most powerful family for a while.
Su Xiaojuan was in high spirits because of the good news, and she insisted on asking Ma Jia to ridicule Qin Ting after arriving at school to vent her anger.
Ma Jia was unhappy, so Su Xiaojuan said that she was not very good at dealing with others and gave her a good scolding.
"Hmph! No more talking. I need to study hard! My deskmate, let's prepare for the battle and meet in the capital!" Ma Jia suppressed all his grievances, raised his arm, and continued to bury himself in the sea of questions.
Qin Ting smiled and touched her head: "Come on!"
————
the next day.
Middle school starts.
Elementary school starts.
Even the kindergarten started on time.
With the start of kindergarten, Qin Anan had to pay attention to one thing.
That is... Li Tuzhu will drown in a pond in the mountains this winter.
Winter in North China is very long, lasting another month after the Lunar New Year. Qin Anan remembered that in the original novel, Li Tuzhu's accident happened after school started, but the book didn't specify the exact day.
In the book, Li Tuzhu is just an insignificant name.
But he is Qin Anan's friend now. Since they are friends, Qin Anan will not watch him get into trouble!
Because we don’t know the exact time when he will get into trouble, if we want to protect Li Tuzhu, we must always be by his side.
If you want to be with him, you must...
Qin Anan put on her clothes and slid off the bed.
【Mom, I want to go to kindergarten! 】
