Chapter 338 Commander Duan’s eyes almost popped out
In the living room, Xu Fuxian teased Fu Jiqiu for a while, knowing that this was Fu Xun's only son, who came to play with Baoer during the summer vacation.
Fu Jiqiu was young and mature by nature. He didn't want to pay any attention to the deputy commander and just lay on the sofa playing with his wooden toys.
"Fu Jiqiu, you came to Kunming to play. Have you learned piano?" Xu Fuxian looked around and caught a glimpse of a dark brown piano placed in a corner of the living room, teasing Fu Jiqiu.
He also heard that the piano was a wedding gift from the Duan family to Han Suijing.
This set of equipment is estimated to be worth several dozen months’ salary for him!
The boy's face froze, he turned back to look at the piano for a few seconds, pursed his lips and said, "Not yet."
"That's right. Han Suijing doesn't have the time to teach you piano at home."
The two of them were chatting idly. Baoer informed his father and took his hand to go downstairs. Hearing Xu Fuxian's words, the little boy said in a childish voice: "That's my mother's piano!"
"Hey! Your mother's piano? Uncle thought your father had grown up and could play the piano." Xu Fuxian turned around and laughed out loud. He was elegant and easy-going, unlike Commander Duan who was sharp and aggressive.
Han Suijing led the child downstairs and explained casually: "It is indeed my wife's piano. She is the only one in the family who can play a few songs."
"..." It was the first time that Xu Fuxian heard that Han Suijing's teenage fiancée had also learned piano. She must have had many shining points, otherwise she would not have attracted Han Suijing's attention.
The young man looked smug as he hopped up to the deputy commander and said, "You've never heard my mother play the piano, have you?"
"You guessed it right. Let your mother come down and play a song for uncle."
Xu Fuxian smiled and pinched the boy's face.
"But she hasn't gotten up yet. Uncle, please wait a moment." The little guy fluttered his little arms seriously and ran to play with Fu Jiqiu.
Xu Fuxian and Han Suijing sat down and joked, "It seems that you love Bao'er's mother very much. We have lived in the family compound for so many years. You also know that when the troops are training in the morning, all the wives of the soldiers get up to make breakfast..."
When we arrived at Han Suijing's place, his newlywed wife not only did not get up early to prepare breakfast for the family, but was still sleeping in.
If the officials got together for a meeting, no one would believe it.
Han Suijing's expression was as cold as ever. He looked at his comrade across from him with a cold and sharp gaze, "Why do you come to see me so early in the morning?"
"It's not a big deal," Xu Fuxian chuckled, "Look, my niece, her mother has arranged a marriage for her, and I think Jiaojiao is also at the age of marriage, so I want to ask her for a few days off, so that she can come back and arrange the marriage first, and then she can get married after the training period."
"All the soldiers have just joined the special forces. If you let her go home to get engaged at this time, won't it disturb her mind?"
As Han Suijing looked stunned, Xu Fuyan pretended to be calm and said, "As a girl, when she reaches marriageable age, her family should arrange everything for her. Otherwise, if her family doesn't care, she will be confused when she sees so many soldiers at the military station."
"It's not as serious as you say! When I return, I will strictly enforce the special forces discipline."
"Forget it, let Jiaojiao go home and get engaged. If she doesn't, her mother won't be able to sleep at night." Xu Fuxian insisted on using the back door to ask for a few days of home visit leave for his niece.
Finally, he glanced at the two little kids playing on the sofa and lowered his voice.
"By the way, what's the background of the soldier that Jiaojiao likes? What's his family background? That guy must be good-looking. If he's not, Jiaojiao will definitely look down on him."
Han Suijing turned his head calmly towards the stairwell and guessed that his wife was still changing clothes in the room.
He also lowered his voice, "I haven't delved into the female soldier issue. I will face it when I return, so don't worry. As for going home, I can ask Ye Jiaojiao alone. If she is willing to come back to get engaged, I will give her three days of home leave."
"Three days of home visit leave? It's not enough, so you have to take the train on the way." When Wang Ziru walked down the stairs, she glanced at the two men sitting in the living room and talking in a low voice. She always felt that they seemed afraid that others would hear them.
The two men in the living room turned around at the same time and saw Wang Ziru's pretty figure walking into the living room.
Han Suijing pretended to get up and make tea, "I forgot to make tea for you, please sit down first."
"Uh... no, I have to go back to the headquarters to work. The commander is not here recently, and I have to deal with a lot of documents submitted by the troops under me every day." Xu Fuyan stood up and smiled politely at Wang Ziru.
"Commander Xu, please sit for a while. Am I disturbing your conversation?"
"No, no, Baoer just said that mom is very good at playing the piano. Next time I come to visit, I must listen to your specialty songs."
Beside him, Han Suijing shook his head helplessly. This Old Xu is really a smart guy.
Wang Ziru was holding a comb in her hand, with her long, satin-black hair casually draped over her shoulders. A light blue round-neck pullover set off her fresh and charming face.
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why wait until next time? If you want to listen, Commander, listen first and then go back to work."
"My sister-in-law is so thoughtful, so I'd better obey your orders. It won't be too late to go to work after listening to you." Xu Fuyan sighed lightly and bowed to Wang Ziru.
When the two cute little kids saw their mother was going to play the piano again, they quickly got up from the sofa and ran to the piano following Wang Ziru.
Wang Ziru placed the comb on the piano and joked as she lifted the piano cover: "If you don't open it, dust will fall on the keys."
Then Han Suijing and Xu Fuxian stood up and walked over to watch.
Wang Ziru had just sat down on the piano stool when a cute little baby sat beside her. She smiled softly and said, "I'll play a world-famous song for you, 'Adeline by the Water'."
"Are famous songs just famous?" Baoer asked with a curious face while sitting next to her mother.
"Yes, I'll tell you more about Richard Clayderman's famous song when I have time."
Before Xu Fuxian saw the music score, the woman sitting on the piano stool placed her slender fingers on the black and white keys. When the piano sounded, the beautiful and melodious melody felt particularly warm and familiar.
Suddenly, calm, soft, and tortuous piano sounds slowly flowed out from the dark brown piano.
The piano music is smooth and pleasant, with a kind of narrative power.
Some families with daughters in the military compound also bought small pianos. The children sometimes practiced the piano so stutteringly that their ears would be worn out.
Xu Fuyan was startled. He opened his mouth slightly but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Looking around the family compound in Kun District, he was afraid that he would never find such beautiful piano sound again. Suddenly, he understood why the Duan family did not send a farewell gift, but instead sent a concert-grade piano.
A few days ago, the Duan family sent a piano over, which caused a sensation in the entire family compound.
Inside the living room, everyone was immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano. The sound was gentle and low, and the woman playing the piano had a carefree look on her face. She played the piano with ease, and it seemed as if she had the musical score recited by heart in front of her eyes.
The beautiful piano music floated out of the window and reached Li Junfeng's ears.
Li Junfeng had gone to the hospital to visit his leader in the morning, and returned to the family compound to help get some clothes. When he heard such pleasant piano music coming from the Han family, he couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Seeing Xu Fuyan was also at Han's house, he quickly shrank his neck.
Han Suijing turned around and walked out of the house. He saw Li Junfeng and a car parked outside the commander's house. "You didn't go to the hospital to see the commander?"
"Hey, I just came back from the hospital and brought some clothes for the commander. I heard my sister-in-law playing the piano so I came over to take a look." Li Junfeng was still talking and laughing when he saw Xu Fuxian walking out of Han's house. He hurriedly greeted him, "Commander Xu is here too."
"Well," Xu Fuxiansheng, who looked dignified and solemn, nodded, "How is Commander Duan recovering from his injuries?"
"When the doctor was doing rounds this morning, he said that family members can come in to visit tomorrow, so there shouldn't be any big problems." Li Junfeng said, waved his hand, turned around and walked straight to the Duan family across the street.
Xu Fuxian chatted with Han Suijing for a few words and then returned to the headquarters.
The sound of the piano attracted many children in the courtyard, and they all ran to the window of Han's house to watch.
In the living room, the song ended.
Baoer and Fu Jiqiu were both fascinated by what they heard, and their expressions were delighted.
"When I have time, I will teach you two to play the piano." Wang Ziru said with a gentle smile, holding a cute baby in one hand.
"Mom, we want to learn piano today." Baoer stood up from the piano stool and leaned on his mother's chest and said.
"Today? There is no music score at home. It would be better if there is music score." Wang Ziru fixed her eyes and looked at the man who came in. "When can you go to the bookstore to find music score and buy one to teach the child?"
She did not continue.
But Han Suijing understood what she meant and nodded and smiled at her.
"Leave these small things to me. You can comb your hair and wash up, and then you can have egg noodles."
Wang Ziru looked at the man: "I remember eating egg noodles last night..."
"Mom, please don't complain. We all eat egg noodles," Baoer spoke up for his father. His father was a man who had never even held a spatula. After getting married, he had been trying hard to adapt to the married life of a family of three.
Wang Ziru took the comb that Han Suijing handed over and combed her hair, "When will we return to the special forces?"
She was still thinking about the reclaimed wasteland in the village. If the wives of soldiers had helped to plow the land, all the wasteland slopes might have been plowed already, waiting for her to go back and sow seeds.
"We went to the hospital today and asked my uncle."
Han Suijing had a gentle look in his eyes and a smile on his face, and he turned around and went to the stove to boil water and cook noodles.
Across the street, Li Junfeng came out with a bag of things and put them in the car. Thinking whether he should come over to ask, he came to Han's house, "Sister-in-law, you have to go to the hospital to see the commander today, right? Are you going with me, or will Han take you there?"
Han Suijing came out with a bowl of noodles and said, "Wait a moment, I have something to do at the headquarters today, to talk to Deputy Commander Xu."
"I came home this morning, and you guys haven't finished talking yet?"
Wang Ziru teased as she sat down at the dining table.
"He just came over and sat for a few minutes this morning. We should go to the headquarters to discuss work matters." Han Suijing took off his apron and put it on a chair. "In a month, the special forces will welcome about 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers. The dormitories are not big enough, so we have to ask the engineers to build them."
This matter is urgent, so he has to go to the headquarters to urge Old Xu.
"We still need to build dormitories? Han Suijing, why don't you ask the engineers to build a row of pig pens? The kitchen team has enough manpower, so let them raise pigs. You can even consider raising chickens. In the future, during the Chinese New Year, the troops can eat the pigs they raise themselves."
In this way, at least in the winter, the troops can be self-sufficient in meat and save a lot of expenses.
"Your suggestion is very good. I will discuss it with Xu Fuxian when I go to the headquarters later." A hint of admiration flashed across Han Suijing's deep eyes.
These things are still thoughtful of my wife.
Li Junfeng waited for a while, then drove to the hospital with Wang Ziru. When they arrived at the hospital, he first went to the isolation ward to deliver clothes to the commander.
When he arrived at the ward, he casually mentioned that Xu Fuxian had gone to Han's house to sit for a while in the morning, and the hostess played the piano. "Sister-in-law is really nice. I have never heard her use a grand piano. Today, Deputy Commander Xu seemed to have only gone to their house to play for a while, and she played the piano."
Commander Duan raised his sharp eyes and looked up at the guard's excited look. He wanted to glare at the headquarters and teach Old Xu a lesson.
"Why did Old Xu go to Han's house for no reason?" the rough man looked unhappy.
