The two old comrades met excitedly.
Only then did Meng Jiang notice the two creatures, one big and one small, following behind his squad leader.
"This is my sister-in-law and niece, right?"
As he said this, he looked behind him, and after seeing Xu Jiaojiao's appearance clearly, Meng Jiang was shocked.
After knowing each other for so many years, he had never heard Qin Shuo mention his wife.
If Meng Jiang hadn't known that he was really married, he would have suspected that he was lying.
People in the army even suspected that he was a monk.
How could he not be shocked when he saw such a delicate beauty?
"This is my old comrade-in-arms, his name is Meng Jiang." Qin Shuo introduced him to Xu Jiaojiao.
I won’t say much else.
Meng Jiang understood the petty look.
It turns out that this guy is just pretending.
It would be strange if he didn't hide such a beautiful wife.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Meng Jiang was a very outgoing person and he saluted Xu Jiaojiao directly.
Faced with this formal military salute, Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and almost returned the salute reflexively.
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled at him: "Hello, Comrade Meng, please come in and sit down."
“Hey!”
Meng Jiang responded without hesitation and handed the bag in his hand to Xu Jiaojiao.
"This is a specialty that I exchanged with my fellow villagers."
Looking at the bag he handed over, Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Why should I be so polite when I come to my sister-in-law's house?"
She has already learned all the social etiquette of the team.
It is natural and easy to deal with it.
But Meng Jiang's face flushed red and he handed the bag forward again.
"It's not something valuable, I just want to try something new."
Knowing it was not a good idea to refuse, Xu Jiaojiao was about to reach out to take it, but Qin Shuo took the bag before her.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
"Thank you, Comrade Meng."
Meng Jiang finally felt at ease without having to push things around anymore.
He smiled and responded, then followed Qin Shuo into the yard.
As soon as I entered, I was stunned by the beautifully decorated courtyard in front of me.
"Old Qin, your yard is well built."
After looking around, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He was a rough guy and couldn't say what was good about it, but he felt that it would be very comfortable to live in this courtyard.
As a rough guy as well, he didn't believe that Qin Shuo had the time and energy to do these things.
Needless to say, it must have been done by her wife.
You can tell at first glance that he is a person who enjoys life.
At this time, Xu Jiaojiao had already taken out tea and a kettle from the kitchen.
Walking into the yard, she put down the kettle next to the coffee table that Qin Shuo had just moved out and said something to the two of them.
"You guys chat first, I'll go cook."
Now, Meng Jiang was extremely envious of his old comrade.
Not only is my wife so beautiful, she is also so virtuous.
Qin Shuo didn't say anything, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he stood in front of Xu Jiaojiao.
He opened the box of tea leaves, put them in the teapot, poured in hot water, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Although the two people are from the same province, they are from different cities and the distance between them is hundreds of kilometers.
Why would he come here for no reason?
"I have now been demobilized, and the army arranged for me to work in the Public Security Bureau of our county."
Hearing this, Qin Shuo felt a little strange.
In the previous life, Meng Jiang did not change his career, and the two of them went to the battlefield together.
After staying in the army for a long time, who among those who can stay would be willing to transfer to civilian work?
"Are you hurt?"
Seeing that his hand holding the tea was a little unnatural, Qin Shuo frowned.
"It's not that serious, but there's a lot of trouble at home." Meng Jiang looked helpless when talking about his family's affairs.
Not only did his wife refuse to join the army, but he was also suspicious of them all the time.
In the past, it was just a minor incident.
But this time it was too much. He even took medicine and threatened to change his career.
Hearing him say this, Qin Shuo fell silent.
Being a military wife is not easy. A woman has to support herself alone at home and outside.
To put it bluntly, it's no different from being a widow.
Even when I was sick, there was no one to help me, not to mention that I had to work in the fields and take care of the children.
Qin Shuo couldn't say anything about this result, so he just silently poured him a cup of tea.
But I couldn't help but feel a knot in my heart.
My wife is so delicate...
After taking a sip of tea, Meng Jiang suddenly seemed to think of something.
Then he looked at his poisoned leg and asked, "What happened to your leg? Is it healed so quickly?"
When he was first poisoned, he, a grown man, didn't even dare to look.
Even the doctor said that the leg could not be saved.
Later, the venom was barely controlled and did not spread further, but it was impossible to restore it to its original state.
But he seemed to have just seen that Lao Qin no longer limped when he walked?
It's only been a few months?
"It's healed now. My wife treated it."
When talking about his wife, Qin Shuo's tone unconsciously carried a hint of pride.
But Meng Jiang became more and more shocked.
"Is your wife a doctor?"
And he’s such a great doctor?
The doctor who treated Qin Shuo's leg was the best old doctor in the military hospital.
Even he couldn't do anything about it, but his wife actually cured him?
Then why didn’t you take it to the military hospital? How short of doctors are they in the border force hospital?
"You are really reassuring." Meng Jiang was simply overwhelmed with admiration.
It would be fine if you never mention such a beautiful daughter-in-law, but why are you so confident about leaving her alone at home?
Qin Shuo: ...
He didn’t care before, after all, Xu Jiaojiao’s purpose in marrying him was not pure.
And I'm just doing this purely to deal with her urging to get married.
But now that it was his own wife, how could he possibly feel comfortable leaving her alone at home?
On the other side, Xu Jiaojiao took out the meat she had just bought in the county.
Afraid it wasn’t enough, she added some more from the space.
I didn't spend much time on it and just made braised pork.
In this year of scarcity of oil and water, braised pork is the most popular meat dish.
The little girl next to her was sitting on a small stool, also not idle, helping her pick vegetables.
Don’t say it, although he is young, his movements are quite professional.
That serious look made Xu Jiaojiao so cute.
I couldn't help but pray, hoping that the baby in my belly would be a well-behaved girl.
In addition to the braised pork, Xu Jiaojiao also made lotus root cakes, stewed dried fish, stir-fried vegetables, and beat a few eggs to make a soup.
After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with a rich fragrance.
Just as Xu Jiaojiao was about to pick up the porridge from the stove, Qin Shuo's voice came from the door.
"I'll serve it."
Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao did not force him and simply stood aside, giving his seat to him.
"Then take the dishes out first, I'll go call mom to come eat."
Qin Shuo really enjoyed the woman's comfort, and his gaze towards her became somewhat hot.
"Thanks a lot."
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
There was a little guy next to them, looking at them curiously!
"You guys eat first, don't wait."
Having said that, Xu Jiaojiao pulled the little guy out the door.
And at this moment, Meng Jiang in the yard was filled with so much envy that it was beyond words.
We are all human beings, so why do some people find such good wives?
Not only is she beautiful, she is also a capable doctor.
Not only that, she is beautiful and talented, but she is not arrogant at all.
Virtuous and filial.
Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating!
"Lao Qin, let me say nothing else, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
Qin Shuo gave him a puzzled look.
"With a wife like this, you can actually bear not coming back once in four years."
Qin Shuo: ...
