Chapter 209 His wife was too enthusiastic; he was a little overwhelmed.
Qi Jingchuan assumed that Cen Yan had cooked so many dishes because she wanted to ask about the radio. After all, he had learned the strategy of "courtesy first, then force" in his officer training course, which was exactly the same as his wife's behavior tonight.
First, try to seduce them with sweet words; if that doesn't work, then give them a good slap in the face.
The strategy of "courtesy first, then force" is also known as "slapping someone in the face after giving them a sweet treat."
Cen Yan glared at him. "Who asked you about the radio? I have something important to tell you. Didn't I help with the free clinic at Xiangyang Brigade before?"
"Hmm." The man's face remained tense, not relaxing.
Cen Yan continued, "My master said that I have a good foundation and asked me to go to Lancheng in three days to take the professional qualification exam for junior TCM doctor. I plan to leave for Lancheng tomorrow."
To get to Dongming Island from other places, you have to go through Lancheng. You could say that Lancheng is the hub and intersection between the island and the mainland.
After hearing Cen Yan's plan, Qi Jingchuan nodded emphatically, "It's a good thing for women to have their own careers. Since Dean Huang thinks so highly of it, then you should go. There's nothing else to worry about at home."
He would unconditionally support whatever Cen Yan wanted to do!
"Idiot, what I mean is, can you find a way to get me a ferry ticket? I went to the dock on my way home from get off work and asked, but there are no tickets left for tomorrow's ferry to Blue City."
The main issue is the ferry ticket from Dongming Island to Lancheng. It runs once a week, and if I can't buy a ticket for tomorrow, I'll miss the exam.
Having no other choice, she had to ask her husband, Qi Jingchuan, for help to see if he could get her a ticket for tomorrow's ferry.
Or is there another way for her to travel to Blue City by boat?
It turned out that Cen Yan had something to ask of him, but only after being able to help his wife did Qi Jingchuan finally feel that he was a useful husband.
Especially as a soldier, he had to be stationed at the unit and couldn't leave at will, so he couldn't accompany Cen Yan to the Blue City exam and protect her safety.
This made Qi Jingchuan feel extremely ashamed, and he could only try to make amends to his wife in other ways...
"I'll figure out the boat tickets. I'll make sure you don't miss the exam," Qi Jingchuan promised solemnly, glancing at his watch. "I'll get them right now!"
Cen Yan was both amused and exasperated. "You should eat first. There's no rush. The ship leaves at noon tomorrow. There's plenty of time to get the tickets."
Qi Jingchuan, a regimental commander, was willing to help; the boat tickets were just a matter of a word from him. Let's fill our stomachs first.
Besides, Qi Jingchuan helped her punish Pang Ziyang today, and he must be starving after running around all day.
Cen Yan smiled broadly as she served food to Qi Jingchuan.
She has a habit of serving rice in half-full portions, never filling them completely.
At first, Qi Jingchuan was a little puzzled as to why Cen Yan had such a habit, but now, seeing the increasing amount of food piled up in the bowl like a small mountain, he finally realized.
It turns out that the leftover space in the bowl wasn't because his wife was reluctant to fill it up, but because she wanted to "lay the foundation" for the pile of vegetables!
Qi Jingchuan looked at the several large pieces of meat in the bowl, hesitated, and finally spoke up, "Can I eat first? I can take more after I finish eating..."
Cen Yan: "You eat yours, I'll take mine, it doesn't conflict. Qi Jingchuan, you expend a lot of energy in training, so you need to keep up with your nutrition. When I get back from Blue City, I'll definitely make you soup every day!"
"..." Qi Jingchuan sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling that it was better for his wife to be a little cold towards him; she was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't handle it.
