Yang Niannian was very pleased that her child had finally grown up.
"I didn't love you in vain. You've grown up and know how to care about your sister!"
Jiang Yang's chin almost lifted to the sky with pride as he spoke sincerely.
"Of course. Without you and Brother Lu, Yueyue and I wouldn't be where we are today. My descendants will all remember this kindness. If any of their unfilial descendants dare to disrespect you and Brother Lu, I will break their legs and sever ties with them."
Yang Niannian patted him on the back and smiled brightly.
"Okay, okay, stop sugarcoating my words! Ride your bike carefully and pay attention to the road."
Jiang Yang thought Yang Niannian didn't believe him.
"What I said is true. You and Brother Lu are Yueyue and I's adopted parents. If you don't even have this little bit of gratitude, you might as well just die."
Yang Niannian, "As long as you can keep your original intention and don't stab me in the back when faced with external temptations, I will be satisfied."
She praised him in a motherly tone, "You are a smart child, ambitious and hardworking. Your current achievements are not only due to me, but also to you."
Jiang Yang was so happy to be praised that his tail almost stood up. Nothing made him happier than Yang Niannian's recognition.
He was like a child encouraged by his parents. When he was in a good mood, he pedaled very fast.
Zheng Haitian had already made tea and was waiting in the office. As soon as the two entered, he first congratulated Yang Niannian on being admitted to university, and then asked them to sit down.
He asked with a smile, "Niannian, didn't Xiao Jiang tell you? My niece was also admitted to Beijing University, so I thought I'd let you two get to know each other. You're about the same age, so you should be able to get along well. You can also take care of each other when you study in Beijing in the future."
Yang Niannian smiled and nodded, "I know your niece will be very happy to be admitted to Beijing University. This way she will have a companion."
She looked around and asked, "Isn't your niece here today?"
Zheng Haitian, "She went to the bathroom and will be here soon."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a long sigh, looking melancholy. Yang Niannian had a feeling that he might have something to say, so she didn't say anything.
As expected, Zheng Haitian talked about his niece's life experience with great sadness.
"I don't treat you as outsiders, and I won't hide it from you. Although Xinyue is my niece, she is no different from my daughter. My eldest brother died early, and I raised her as my own daughter. This child is also very hardworking and was admitted to a good university."
He smiled helplessly, "I spoiled her since she was little. Her personality is a bit like a boy's. She learned some self-defense skills from me. She has been naughty since she was little. Kids around her run away when they see her. She hasn't made any close friends in all these years. I've wanted to introduce you two to each other for a long time. Your personalities will definitely be compatible."
"Uncle, are you saying bad things about me again?" A bold voice sounded at the door.
Yang Niannian looked towards the door and saw a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking in. She was wearing a light blue top and a dark blue skirt. She was dressed very quietly, but walked in a carefree and unrestrained manner.
Wheat-colored skin looks very healthy at first glance... ahem, this description seems to be more suitable for men.
As soon as Zheng Haitian saw her, a smile appeared on his face. "Come here quickly. These two are Nian Nian and Xiao Jiang that I mentioned to you."
Then he introduced her to Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang, "She is my niece, Zheng Xinyue."
Zheng Xinyue glanced at Yang Niannian and suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Oh my god, Nian Nian, you are not only a talented woman, but also a great beauty."
This girl was really straightforward. Yang Niannian winked at her and said, "Thank you."
"Don't mind it, she is just that noisy person." Zheng Haitian said.
Yang Niannian praised sincerely, "I think her personality is pretty good. She's a straightforward girl who's easy to get along with."
This girl looks interesting, and she is looking forward to studying in Beijing.
Zheng Xinyue sat down next to Yang Niannian, "Yes, yes, that's my personality. I was worried that you would become a nerd like my classmates, but now it seems that I was overthinking."
She patted her chest with a solemn oath, "When you go to school in the future, I will protect you and will never let anyone bully you."
Yang Niannian felt that she had found her organization and quickly clung to its thighs.
"It's a deal. I'll rely on you from now on!"
Zheng Xinyue was very pleased to hear this. "I heard that you were a military wife, and I thought you would be very old-fashioned and speak in a flowery manner. I didn't expect you to be so easy to get along with."
She felt very regretful. "Oh, it would have been great if we had known each other earlier. My second uncle wanted to introduce us to each other, but unfortunately I was preparing for the exam at the time and didn't have time to go out."
Zheng Xinyue pulled Yang Niannian aside to chat, not giving Zheng Haitian and Jiang Yang a chance to interrupt.
Seeing that the two got along so well, Zheng Haitian finally felt relieved. He had been worried that his niece was too careless and would be bullied while studying at Peking University, but now he no longer had to worry about that.
One of these girls is smart and the other is good at fighting, so no one can bully them.
Zheng Xinyue is heartless and never stops talking. Zheng Haitian is worried that his niece's over-enthusiasm may be annoying, so he occasionally interjects a few words and reminds her to be careful with her words.
Zheng Xinyue felt that chatting here was boring, so she asked expectantly, "Niannian, can I go with you to the military dependents' compound?"
Zheng Haitian was worried that his niece's words were too presumptuous, so he smiled.
"Xinyue has always wanted to visit the army. I promised before that I would take her there after she was admitted to university. She has kept it in mind now."
Yang Niannian didn't mind taking Zheng Xinyue to the Military Family Courtyard for a stroll. "It doesn't matter. I don't have anything to do today anyway. Let's do it today!"
After thinking for a while, she said, "However, I don't have the right to take you around the army. I can only take you to the military family compound. Is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem."
Zheng Xinyue nodded repeatedly.
Yang Niannian looked at Jiang Yang and was wondering how three people could sit on a bicycle when Zheng Haitian said.
"You guys go have some fun! Xiao Jiang and I will have some tea and I'll take him back later."
Yang Niannian, "Sorry to bother you."
Zheng Xinyue took Yang Niannian's arm and couldn't wait to leave the office. Like a bird flying out of a cage, she became more active and kept shouting that she would ride a bicycle to take Yang Niannian with her.
"You are so skinny, leave the hard work like riding a bicycle to me."
Yang Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can't ride in a skirt, let me ride!"
Zheng Xinyue, "Well, my second uncle said that once I go to college, I'm a grown-up girl and can't act like a boy anymore. He asked my second aunt to buy me a skirt, but I feel so uncomfortable wearing it."
She swung her skirt in disdain, "If this is a fight, how can you kick someone?"
Yang Niannian, "Next time I will design you a pair of skirt and pants that will look good and won't affect your fighting skills."
"You can also design clothes?" Zheng Xinyue asked puzzledly.
"A little."
Yang Niannian pushed the bicycle out of the yard. As soon as she got on it, Zheng Xinyue jumped onto the back seat nimbly.
She kept chattering along the way, "Influenced by my second uncle, I particularly like soldiers. When I was a child, I thought that when I grow up and find a partner, I must find a soldier. If you know a suitable soldier, remember to help me introduce him to someone. By the way, don't tell my second uncle about this! He will say I am shameless."
