Chapter 420 Relatives meeting

"I." After Su Xiangnan asked, a voice immediately sounded.

Xia Qingcao straightened her back unconsciously after she finished speaking, and her tone was filled with undisguised pride.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so capable, kid." Su Xiangnan praised him in cooperation, and then asked:

"What did you use? Stones?"

"No!" Hearing Su Xiangnan say that he used such a "low-level" thing to hunt, Xia Qingcao was obviously a little anxious, and hurriedly explained to him:

"It was a gunpowder gun, the gunpowder gun of the village director's grandson." Then he said with a slightly proud tone:

"He can't shoot accurately, but I can shoot accurately. What we hit, we each get half."

At this time, Xia Qingshu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Su Xiangnan:

"Qingcao is right, he has good eyesight, can see far, and his shooting skills are also accurate. He has never returned empty-handed when he goes out hunting."

"Oh, really? You're such a good shooter, haha, you look like a good candidate for the army!" Su Xiangnan glanced at Xia Qingcao and asked with a smile:

"Kid, do you want to be a soldier when you grow up?"

"Yes!" Xia Qingcao answered immediately without hesitation, in a particularly loud voice.

"Hahaha, you have ambition!" Su Xiangnan praised, and then reminded:

"To be a soldier, you have to protect the people. To protect the people, you have to have a spirit of fearlessness. Kid, you have to think about it."

"I'm not afraid of death!" Xia Qingcao answered immediately after Su Xiangnan finished speaking.

He looked determined and had a loud voice, looking like a little adult.

"Okay, okay." Su Xiangnan was amused by Xia Qingcao's serious look, and then looked at Lu Jingchen beside him and teased:

"Your brother-in-law is quite brave!"

Lu Jingchen knew that Su Xiangnan was a very outgoing person and could chat with anyone he met, so he didn't want to pay attention to him.

The car became quiet, and after driving for a while, Guo Yumei couldn't help but asked Su Xiangnan:

"His third brother, is it really so dangerous to be a soldier?"

Hearing her question, Lu Jingchen knew that his mother-in-law must have taken Su Xiangnan's words to heart, and knowing that Qingcao really wanted to be a soldier, as a mother, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

He just looked at Su Xiangnan with cold eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was obviously "warning" him not to talk nonsense and scare people.

Su Xiangnan quickly received the signal released by Lu Jingzhen, and knew that what he had just said might have scared the lady in front of him, so he hurriedly explained:

"Auntie, I was joking with you." He laughed, and then continued to joke:

"It's not that dangerous, haha... I have been a soldier for so many years, haven't I died gloriously?"

After hearing what Su Xiangnan said, Lu Jingzhen looked at him unconsciously with frowns. Although they were soldiers, if there was really a war and their superiors asked them to go, they would do it without hesitation, but he still didn't like Su Xiangnan to say the word "sacrifice" casually.

Although the two of them always like to take advantage of each other verbally, in Lu Jingchen's heart, this third brother is extremely important, and he never wants anything to happen to him.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Look at how worried my fourth brother is." Su Xiangnan looked at Lu Jingchen and teased.

Su Xiangnan didn't say anything else, and the car became quiet. After a while, Xia Qingcao suddenly said to Su Xiangnan:

"I'm 13 years old, not a child anymore, don't call me a child."

He had been holding back this sentence in his heart for a long time. When Su Xiangnan called him that for the first time, he was thinking of "refutating".

But because Su Xiangnan was a soldier and a relative, he didn't say anything. But he kept thinking about it in his heart. He couldn't help but say it out.

"Hahaha." Su Xiangnan laughed heartily, then looked at Xia Qingcao and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't call you a kid." Originally, he would have ended here, and everyone would be happy, but he didn't want to. He looked at Xia Qingcao and uttered two more words:

"Little devil."

Xia Qingcao ignored him all the way.

The car drove to the army and was inspected as a routine. Guo Yumei took out the letter of introduction issued by the commune. After the inspecting soldiers read it, they let the car pass.

Along the way, Su Xiangnan never mentioned Mo Xiaoxiao again, as if he had never met such a person at the train station just now. If he had seen such a beautiful girl in the past, he would definitely have discussed it with Lu Jingzhen.

Lu Jingzhen felt something was wrong unconsciously, but he soon understood that Su Xiangnan's eyes were now on the girl from the art troupe.

He would be unhappy when he saw her chatting with other gay men every day, so he had no energy to pay attention to other girls.

After another twenty minutes, the car finally arrived at the courtyard of his old home. Xia Qingling stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting. When he saw his mother and others get off the car safely, he was relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

She had been worried that her mother would get carsick because she had never ridden in a car before, but she didn't expect that they were all fine, just looking a little tired.

"Xiaoxi"

"Mom."

The two called each other, walked towards each other, and naturally held each other's hands.

At this time, Qingshu and Qingcao also walked over impatiently to meet Xia Qingxi and talked to each other.

"Qingcao has grown taller." Xia Qingxi looked at Xia Qingcao and said with a smile.

Xia Qingcao kept looking at Xia Qingxi's bulging belly, with surprise and worry in her eyes.

When Lu got out of the car in shock, he saw his wife standing outside the yard looking around. He knew that she must have been standing there for a long time. Fearing that she was tired, he told Xia Qingcao:

"Help your sister into the house and let her sit down and rest for a while."

After that, he and Su Xiangnan each carried a sack and walked into the house.

Xia Qingcao immediately supported her sister and then watched her carefully walk forward. Xia Qingxiang

told him not to be so nervous, saying that her belly was just a little bigger now, but her movements were not affected.

After a while, everyone went into the house. Su Xiangnan finished his mission and prepared to go back.

Xia Qingxiang asked him to stay for dinner, but he said he didn't want to eat anymore because his family was waiting. Before leaving, he said to Guo Yumei:

"Auntie, you must have been tired on the road. Take a good rest first. I will pick you up the day after tomorrow and have dinner at

home." His sister-in-law's family came over, so of course they had to treat them to a meal. When he went to pick them up in the afternoon, his mother Zhou Huiying reminded him not to forget to invite their family to come to their home the day after tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Su Xiangnan was about to leave when Guo Yumei called him. She quickly untied the rope on the sack and took out two pickled and smoked turtledoves from it to give to Su Xiangnan.

Su Xiangnan quickly waved his hand to refuse the game, and when Guo Yumei tried to stuff it into her arms, she said she would come to her home to eat next time.

After Su Xiangnan left, Xia Qingxi noticed that Qingcao had been looking at her belly. Knowing that he was very curious, she smiled and waved to him, motioning him to come over to her side, and asked him:

"Qingcao, do you want to touch him?"
