The other side.

Political Commissar Zhang, who had been busy for several days, finally had some free time. He found Qin Aonan and, as usual, made an excuse that he had something to discuss with him and asked him to go to his house for dinner.

Qin Aonan had been thinking about Wang Fengjiao's words in the afternoon. Considering that Political Commissar Zhang had called him several times and each time said he had something to discuss with him, but every time he went, it was always about unimportant matters, even if he was slow-witted, he understood what Political Commissar Zhang meant.

He had no intention of finding a partner for the time being, nor did he have the intention of becoming Political Commissar Zhang's son-in-law, so he politely declined Political Commissar Zhang's invitation.

"Political Commissar Zhang, I plan to increase the difficulty of the training for those new recruits tonight. If it's not something important, we can discuss it later when we have time!"

When Political Commissar Zhang heard this, his expression became somewhat intriguing.

These past few days, he has been wondering what Qin Aonan is thinking. Now that she has rejected his invitation, is it because she has already established a relationship with that woman outside and is preparing to kick him out?

This guess made Political Commissar Zhang's face darken, so he simply asked tentatively, "Since you have something else to do, let's discuss it another day. These days, there's a rumor in the family compound that a girl gave you a pair of shoes to wear. Is this the one your family introduced to you?"

Qin Aonan explained with a serious expression, "Political Commissar Zhang, you misunderstood. I have only met that girl three times. Last time she encountered some problems, I bought her cloth to help her, and she also wanted to repay me, so she made the cloth into shoes and sent them to me. I accepted the shoes because I thought that this way we would not owe each other anything. I have nothing to do with her, and she is also in a relationship."

Political Commissar Zhang's expression improved instantly. He patted Qin Aonan on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Since there is no relationship, it is better to meet less often to avoid being misunderstood by others and having a bad influence in the army."

He was eager to tell Ding Lanying the good news, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm going back too."

Political Commissar Zhang returned home happily. Ding Lanying was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard his words, her face became uglier than the bottom of the pot. She threw the spatula into the iron pot, making a loud bang.

"The woman who was looking for Qin Aonan was Sister Yang Niannian. She came to the Military Family Courtyard last time. She came just to have a blind date with Qin Aonan."

Her eyes were full of contempt. "You are still alive and well, but you were fooled by two young people. Maybe others are laughing at you and calling you a fool behind your back."

Political Commissar Zhang's smile froze on his face, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Sister Yang Niannian?"

"How could it be fake if Yu Hongli recognized her?" Ding Lanying gnashed her teeth in anger. "The shoes made by Yang Huiying were sent to the army, and Qin Aonan accepted them, which means they are attracted to each other. You are still here laughing blindly. You don't even know how others are laughing at us behind our backs. Even Yu Hongli is laughing at me."

Political Commissar Zhang didn't say anything. He knew his wife couldn't be talking nonsense. Thinking about how Qin Aonan said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, and how he teamed up with Lu Shishen and his wife to cheat him, he was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged and his arms were shaking.

Ding Lanying knew that he had a bad temper, and seeing how angry he was, she didn't dare to provoke him. She put her hand on his chest and helped him to calm down.

"Okay, okay, don't be so angry. I think it's good that Yuting doesn't want to be a military wife. It's that Yang Niannian who is annoying. She just wants to go against us on purpose. A wild girl from the countryside, relying on her husband being the head of the regiment, is so arrogant that she doesn't care about anyone at such a young age."

"Isn't she going to take the exam soon? Wait, I see if she fails and still has the nerve to stay in the staff quarters."

snort!

He thought that taking the college entrance examination was as easy as eating. He even brought his old leader along to make trouble, making everyone in the military family compound aware of it. He didn't know how to keep a low profile at all.

She wanted to see how Yang Niannian would have the nerve to continue staying in the military family compound after the test results came out.

Little did Ding Lanying know that Yang Niannian, who was waiting to see a fool of herself, was now happily eating knife-cut noodles and gossiping with Lu Shishen about Yang Huiying.

"It turns out that the person who gave Vice Captain Qin the shoes was Yang Huiying. Luckily I saw her today, otherwise, Vice Captain Qin might have really fallen into the gentle trap. If you have time, talk to Vice Captain Qin and ask him to stay away from Yang Huiying."

Lu Shishen frowned, "How did they know each other?"

"Deputy Captain Qin said he helped Yang Huiying, but I didn't ask for the details." Yang Niannian guessed, "Yang Huiying must have felt that Deputy Captain Qin had an extraordinary temperament, and wanted to use his help to continue her university studies. Anyone can see her little tricks."

"It's useless no matter who tries. The school has already expelled her." Lu Shi said in a deep voice.

As soon as Yang Niannian heard it, she knew it was Lu Shishen's work. She was so happy that she couldn't help but talk nonsense.

"Lu Shishen, I really like what you do. If this were in ancient times, and you were an emperor, wouldn't I be the most favored one in the imperial harem?"

"There are too many rules in the ancient times, which are not suitable for your life." Lu Shishen said seriously.

Yang Niannian narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly, "I'm just saying that. I don't want to go to ancient times and compete with a group of women for a man."

Without waiting for Lu Shishen to speak, she put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full. You guys should finish everything in the pot. It's hot and the noodles will go bad and inedible if left out tomorrow."

Seeing that she only ate a small bowl, Lu Shishen asked with concern, "Do you have a poor appetite?"

Yang Niannian shook her head, touched her belly and said, "I've gained some weight in my belly recently, so I can't eat so much at night."

An An looked at Yang Niannian's belly with sparkling eyes, "Aunt, are you pregnant with a baby?"

Lu Shishen's eyes deepened a little, and he also looked at Yang Niannian's lower abdomen.

Yang Niannian blushed when Lu Shishen looked at her, "I'm not pregnant, I just haven't been moving around much at home recently, so I gained some weight."

She looked at Lu Shishen and said in a chastising tone, "Don't you know whether I'm pregnant or not?"

As for the things Lu Shishen bought, three a day would last for a long time.

Lu Shishen, "..."

When An An heard that Yang Niannian was not pregnant, she asked expectantly, "Aunt, when will you have a baby?"

Yang Niannian rested her elbows on the table, holding her chin in her hands and thinking, "Wait another three to five years. I still want to go to college. At least I have to wait until I graduate from college. Otherwise, how can I study with my child?"

These words were said for An An and also for Lu Shishen to hear.

She was worried about leaving her child to Ma Xiuzhu for education. What if the child was also educated to have a zombie face like Lu Shishen?

An indescribable emotion flashed in Lu Shishen's eyes. He pursed his lips and said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yang Niannian had long been accustomed to Lu Shishen's silence. She stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. An'an, remember to brush your teeth after dinner. You can't eat candy after brushing your teeth!"

Then he said to Lu Shishen, "The dishes and chopsticks are in your hands."

She made all the arrangements for the father and son, and went to take a relaxing bath.

There was no scale at home, and Yang Niannian was worried that she would accidentally gain too much weight, so she did several rounds of stretching exercises on the bed after taking a shower. Until Lu Shishen came back from the shower, the young couple were sweet again.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yang Niannian always felt that Lu Shishen was a little different tonight. She couldn’t tell exactly what was different, but it seemed like... he talked less?

No, he never talked much.

She was really a little tired, so she didn't think about it any further. She didn't know how Lu Shishen could be so energetic at night when he trained in the army every day.

The night was pitch black. Lu Shi's deep dark eyes looked at the sleeping Yang Niannian. His large palms caressed her lower abdomen. No one knew what he was thinking.

It was not until the rooster crowed that he closed his eyes and dozed off for a while.
