Chapter 6: When I see Shen Mo, you are the husband who didn’t take me home after three years of marriage! ?
Qian Feng could tell from his awkward appearance that he must have had a conflict with the two sons of the leader.
He earnestly advised, "Zhiqi, you're only staying at the commander's house temporarily, and his two sons are the same age as you. You'll definitely get along well. You should play with them more often so you'll feel more comfortable at their house."
Jiang Ning, who had been quiet to the side, frowned. "That's not right. Who said that people of the same age get along? Does that mean you have to swallow your pride and bear it if you're bullied?"
Qian Feng also disagreed with Jiang Ning's statement, saying, "Sister-in-law, how could he be bullied at the commander's house? If he were really bullied, we would know."
Jiang Ning was too lazy to argue with him. She just glanced at him indifferently. Living under someone else's roof is not that simple. Who knows what kind of life he is living in someone else's house behind closed doors?
This topic was quickly moved on, and Qian Feng then spoke up as if giving instructions, "Sister-in-law, the accommodations are on the floor above. The first room upstairs has already been prepared."
Before Jiang Ning could thank him, he said he had something to do and jogged away.
Jiang Ning felt that Shen Mo, the orderly, seemed to be somewhat afraid of her.
In this day and age, there's no cell phone to pass the time. Jiang Ning got up and wandered around the room, finding a piece of white paper but no pen.
Jiang Ning set her sights on Huo Zhiqi, who was hunched over doing his homework, and asked, "Little guy, can I borrow a pen?"
Huo Zhiqi was a loner and had no friends at the commander's house or school. He had only accepted the steamed bun because he was starving and couldn't stand the pretty woman wasting food.
Uncle Shen once said, "A drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water."
Without thinking, Huo Zhiqi took out a sharpened but unused pencil from his schoolbag and handed it over.
Jiang Ning looked at the long pencil in her hand, while the little guy's pencil was only about the size of his palm.
This little guy looks cold and aloof, like a little old-fashioned person.
Jiang Ningsheng had a little idea to tease him, so she reached out and ruffled his hair. As she pulled her hand away, she also pinched his chubby cheeks, the only part of his body that still had some flesh. "Thanks."
Huo Zhiqi had never been touched like that by a woman before, and he immediately blushed deeply.
He looked up and was met with the pretty woman's charming face, and finally, embarrassed, he buried his head and continued doing his homework.
With a pen in hand, Jiang Ning lay on the table and began to write down research data from her time in the modern world. The data was entirely in English. When Jiang Ning worked diligently, she would always be completely absorbed in her work, and before she knew it, an entire sheet of paper was filled with English information.
When writing reports, I often think of some modern medical equipment.
In this still developing era, such equipment is impossible, and her research in the real world ultimately cannot continue.
As Jiang Ning was resting her head on her hand, looking troubled, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the little guy sitting opposite her kept glancing up at her.
It wasn't me looking at her, but at the sheet of paper she had filled with writing.
When he looked up at her for the fifth time, Jiang Ning asked, "You know English?"
Her sudden voice startled Huo Zhiqi.
The little guy quickly lowered his head. "No, I don't know him."
Jiang Ning knew that it wasn't common for elementary school students to start learning English yet, and since she was already a bit bored, she propped her head up and asked, "Do you want to learn English?"
Before Jiang Ning could reply, she looked away and clearly saw the little guy's eyes light up.
He chuckled inwardly, flipped the paper over, wrote down the 26 letters of the alphabet, and handed it over.
Then she started teaching him how to pronounce the 26 letters of the English alphabet. She thought it would be difficult to teach a child who was just starting to learn, but she never expected that the child would have a photographic memory. He remembered it after she taught him once, and could even recite it after she read it several times.
Jiang Ning then wrote down the 48 International Phonetic Alphabet symbols.
The phonetic symbols are a bit more difficult, so the child spent more time on them this time.
Jiang Ning asked him to memorize the 26 letters of the English alphabet and the 48 international phonetic symbols.
Huo Zhiqi stood in front of Jiang Ning and recited the whole thing clearly.
Judging from this learning ability, Jiang Ning knew that this child was quite intelligent.
Who doesn't love a well-behaved and intelligent child? "Would you like to learn something else?"
Huo Zhiqi wasn't as aloof as before. He looked at Jiang Ning with bright eyes and nodded, but quickly shook his head again. "I have to go back to class."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do you come here to do your homework at this time every day?"
Huo Zhiqi nodded.
He never brings his homework home to do, because Uncle Lin's two sons will cause trouble.
Jiang Ning said, "I'll have time these next few days and I'll wait for you here at this time every day. But I can only teach you for a few days. How much you learn depends on your ability."
It was as if the two of them had inexplicably made a pact.
Qian Feng brought Jiang Ning every meal. She didn't want to trouble him and said she could go eat by herself, but Qian Feng insisted on bringing her food every single meal.
What a joke! This unit is all men. The deputy regimental commander hasn't even returned yet; how can we let them see it first?
Jiang Ning didn't insist. In a place like the military, it was better for her to be more disciplined.
Jiang Ning only realized after teaching for two days that the child always came hungry.
"Didn't you bring any food?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
In this day and age, schools don't have cafeterias, so kids bring their own lunches to school.
Huo Zhiqi's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head so that Jiang Ning wouldn't see him, and shook his head, saying, "I always eat at home at night."
Jiang Ning frowned, "That won't do. You won't grow tall if you don't eat lunch."
This child is quiet and reserved. Judging from the fact that he didn't have lunch, you can tell that he's probably not doing well living with relatives.
The child has nothing to do with her. She will stay here until Shen Mo returns and then leave.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for him and asked Qian Feng to bring more food at noon.
Qian Feng didn't think anything was wrong. He happily thought to himself, "Being able to eat is a blessing."
He was thinking that after they got married, he would definitely fatten his wife up until she was fair and plump, like a big white pig!
The deputy regimental commander is really lucky; his wife is both beautiful and has a big appetite. If the deputy regimental commander were here, he would definitely be better at taking care of his wife than he is.
On the third day, when Huo Zhiqi came to learn English, Jiang Ning used the lid of a lunchbox to take out a meal and handed it to him.
Before he could refuse, Jiang Ning said, "You're not allowed to refuse. I only give it to you because I can't finish it. I always end up wasting some and throwing it away."
Upon hearing that it was being wasted and thrown away, the little guy immediately put on a stern face.
Jiang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then found it amusing; this kid was really a bit old-fashioned.
"Oh my, so cute." Jiang Ning couldn't resist reaching out to pinch and rub his little face, and finally patted his head.
Huo Zhiqi was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he blushed deeply.
Why does this pretty lady like pinching him so much!
The two spent five days in this harmonious relationship.
Five days later, the little guy had mastered some simple English words. Jiang Ning asked him to practice speaking for a while every day, and the little guy did so.
Today, Jiang Ning wrote down some relatively difficult words and is teaching him to recognize them.
One was teaching diligently, and the other was learning diligently, neither of them hearing the steady footsteps outside the door.
As Qian Feng pushed open the door, Shen Mo's gaze fell upon the slender figure at the table, and he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The slender figure seemed startled by the sudden sound of the door being pushed open, and she instinctively turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
Their eyes met.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Jiang Ning's face; she had actually seen the soldier who had bravely intervened on the train here.
Qian Feng followed him in, smiling broadly, and said, "Deputy Regiment Commander, you're finally back. Your wife has been waiting for you for days."
Um?
Deputy regimental commander?
He is Shen Mo!?
Jiang Ning stood up in shock, looking at the man she had met once before. "You're the husband who hasn't picked me up from my home for three years after our marriage?!"
