Huo Donglin panicked, "Dad is wrong, Manman is also a hero, you are all very powerful."
Who knew that after hearing these words, Manman cried even more sadly, and struggled desperately to ask Jiang Ningning for a hug.
The little baby voice was both aggrieved and sad, "The great hero Baidan? That's too ugly, no way!"
Two lines of tears slid down from his eyes, fell along his cheeks, and instantly hit Huo Donglin, causing him to feel pain.
"Change your name, change it later!" He coaxed softly, "Dad lied to you about the white egg. We don't have that custom in our family."
“Make a pinky promise!”
"Okay, pinky promise."
Two fingers, one large and one small, gently hooked on each other to seal the promise.
Almost at the same time, the crying and tears stopped.
The little guy is quite clean and pays attention to his image. He took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and carefully wiped away all the traces of tears.
"Haha! Finally you don't call me Huo Baidan anymore." He shouted at the top of his voice.
Huo Donglin: "..."
It's hard to describe how I felt at that moment.
Maybe it's a little itchy?
I was so moved that my eyes filled with tears one second, but the next I felt that the baby was poisonous.
It was almost noon, and the family went shopping for groceries on the way.
It was the first time for the two girls to come to the supply and marketing cooperative in the military area, and they were surrounded by enthusiastic uncles and aunts.
"Eggs can't be eaten, no no, these two chopped green onions will cause Auntie to be criticized...:
The deliberately suppressed baby voice was so adorable that it made the whole audience fall in love with her.
His face was full of expression and his mouth was sweet. "Wow! Is this maltose made by grandpa? Grandpa, you are so kind and clever. I am so lucky to be your grandson."
Huo Donglin was so familiar with this "wow wow" sound that he clenched his fists.
"Little friend, you came at the right time. There is less than two pounds of beef left today." Master Yang, the butcher, was coaxed into smiling and took a piece of fresh beef brisket from the cabinet.
Jiang Ningning was worrying about what to cook in the evening to thank Mr. Wen. The old man was old and his appetite was not very good, so it would be a good idea to stew some beef brisket with tomatoes.
"It's all gone!"
"How much is the beef, Master?"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Jiang Ningning turned around and found Lin Jun's wife, who had just moved in next door, competing for the beef.
She looked very tired, holding several books in her arms, all related to publicity.
The Propaganda Department announced two days ago that it plans to recruit three new officers. Mrs. Lin has worked at the grassroots level and has worked hard, so there is a high probability that she will be admitted.
Jiang Ningning was eager for someone to come in earlier to help share the weight of Mr. Xue's respect. She looked up at Mrs. Lin and smiled even more brightly: "Master Yang, 놖 and Mrs. Lin will each have half, and you can weigh another half a pound of ribs for 놖."
Lin Tongyu was dazzled by that smile and felt a little embarrassed. "You got here first, go buy some pork."
“Neighbors don’t have to be too polite.”
Jiang Ningning looked righteous. She asked Master Yang to cut the meat quickly. After weighing and paying, she took the two kids away.
When they left the supply and marketing cooperative, the enthusiastic smiles on the mother and son's faces flattened at the same time.
Jiang Ningning beats her chest and stamps her feet: My flesh hurts!
Manman rubbed her stiff face: Being too popular is so tiring!
“…”
“…”
He looks familiar. He looks familiar again.
His wife seems to coax him like this every time!
Huo Donglin lowered his head, and the little daughter in his arms looked accustomed to it.
Noticing Dad's puzzled and bewildered look, I patted him on the shoulder like a little adult, and said silently in my heart: Dad, don't be stupid, this family has you to support it.
-
After the rumor was clarified, the entire family compound knew that Huo Donglin had been promoted.
The company commander is not on the same level as the regiment commander.
Although everyone is used to calling him Captain Huo, it cannot be ignored - after the promotion, he became one of the youngest regiment commanders in the army.
It would be a lie to say that I am not envious of someone who has achieved so much at his age, but everyone knows that Huo Donglin has countless achievements, all of which were earned at the cost of his life.
Asking their men to go on border missions, which could take several months or even a year or two, would put their heads on the line, so I guess they wouldn't be willing to do that.
Those bandits on the border are equipped with real guns and live ammunition!
Two strangers were standing at the gate of Courtyard No. 7.
Manman recognized her immediately, "She was the old lady who said that Dad was mentally ill."
Xia Xia also had a fierce expression on her face and waved her fists: "Bad!"
Captain Lu looked embarrassed. When he returned to the family compound, everyone was saying that his wife bullied the Huo family's four-year-old child in public.
Just like the evil grandmother of the twins, she is suspected to be mentally ill.
Captain Lu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately took his wife to the Huo family to apologize, "Captain Huo, my wife is ignorant."
As he spoke, he nudged his wife with his elbow.
Mrs. Lu didn't expect the matter to be so serious. There were many conflicts and gossips among the wives in the family quarters. She just said a few sour words at the time. How could she have made a mistake?
She didn't regret gossiping, but she was afraid of getting her husband into trouble.
I'm a little scared of the twins from the Huo family. They're only four years old, but their minds are filled with so many twists and turns, like monsters!
Mrs. Lu stepped forward, not daring to look into Huo Donglin's dark eyes, and handed the bamboo basket full of eggs to Jiang Ningning.
Xiao Jiang is a soft-hearted person, and she is a woman, so she is the easiest to talk to.
The two kids opened their arms and stood in front of Jiang Ningning.
"Don't bully mom!"
That alert little look, as if Mrs. Lu was some unforgivable villain.
Even Huo Donglin took two steps forward.
Low pressure loomed around them, and the cold aura made Mrs. Lu's scalp numb. She didn't care about her last bit of dignity and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I've been too talkative and have been foolish. I beg you to forgive me."
Jiang Ningning didn't answer.
If she takes the eggs, then even if she is right, she will become wrong.
"Eggs, no, but you are responsible for clarifying the rumors in the base."
Mrs. Lu raised her head abruptly: "I heard it from others..."
When he raised his head, his eyes met Huo Donglin's.
As sharp as the sword, the man's eyes were dark and compelling, as if immersed in frost and snow.
Mrs. Lu felt like there was a chicken feather stuck in her throat, and she was stuck on the words.
His eyes were as round as copper bells.
Jiang Ningning patted the man's arm gently and asked him to move aside.
Seeing Huo Donglin, who was so imposing and looked as cold as if he was going to beat someone up a moment ago, all his imposing manner disappeared and he obediently moved aside.
Mrs. Lu thought blankly: Captain Huo dotes on his wife quite a bit.
"Who did you hear it from? Why don't you ask her to clarify it?" Jiang Ningning gave a sly smile.
"Anyway, there are still rumors in the base, so I will be responsible for finding you."
Mrs. Lu regretted it so much at this moment, and she hated the person who spread the rumors behind her back, and vowed to find that person.
After seeing off Captain Lu and his wife, it was time for dinner.
There was still a lot of sauce left from the last time he made mixed noodles. Without saying a word, Huo Donglin rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to roll out the noodles.
