Chapter 241 The Taciturn Head of the Doting Wife x The Delicate Little Educated Youth 12
After reading the letter from Xu Hanzhang, the old couple finally put down their worries. Yu Cuihua took Aunt Qiao's hand and said in a profound tone, "Mom knows that you two have a good relationship, but you are pregnant now, and it is so dangerous to take the train. How about this, I will go with you later, and I will come back after you give birth to the baby."
"Hey, old woman, you're just going to leave me at home like this." Xu Jianguo was unhappy when he heard this. Now that the family was divided, he couldn't cook, so he must be starving to death.
Aunt Qiao was amused by the old couple. "Mom and Dad, there's really no need. I can do it by myself. Mom can come over to help when the baby is about to be born. But I still need to ask Dad to take the time to buy a train ticket for me."
Yu Cuihua thought this made sense. She couldn't just abandon her husband, so she thought for a moment and said, "Then wait until three months have passed. When you are about to give birth, mom and dad will go over and take care of you after you've finished your confinement, and then come back."
Aunt Qiao nodded slightly, this decision was still acceptable.
By the time Xu Hanzhang received the reply, Aunt Qiao had already boarded the train to Guangzhou.
This time, Aunt Qiao was well prepared for the train ride and took a sleeper berth. Xu Jianguo was afraid that it would be hard for Aunt Qiao to take the train with her child, so he spent some extra money to buy a sleeper berth ticket from a scalper.
Xu Hanzhang had just finished his morning exercises with his soldiers and was about to take a shower, drenched in sweat, when the communicator called him.
"Captain Xu, there is a letter for you"
When Xu Hanzhang heard this, he immediately knew that Aunt Qiao had replied. The expression on his face changed from serious to gentle, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made the group of soldiers marvel at him.
"You said that the leader has changed a lot after getting married."
"Needless to say, he scolded us so harshly before, but now he knows to give us a break."
"What you said is all nonsense. The leader is an old bachelor. He is so angry every day, so of course he takes it out on us. Now that he has a wife to cool down, we will definitely work harder."
"Shut up." Xu Hanzhang heard their whispers with his sharp ears, and said coldly, "It seems that you are still not tired, why don't you run a few more laps?"
The group of soldiers were so scared that they ran away in all directions, not daring to say anything else.
Xu Hanzhang didn't even bother to take a shower. He just sat on the side of the road reading Aunt Qiao's reply.
The letter explained everything clearly, including what time the train would arrive and even the matter of dividing the family property.
Xu Hanzhang felt very guilty, he felt guilty towards Aunt Qiao. He knew his third brother's wife too well and she must have made things difficult for his wife.
However, at the end of the letter, Aunt Qiao specifically instructed that she wanted to give Xu Hanzhang a surprise.
Xu Hanzhang felt extremely uncomfortable. He was both looking forward to and anxious about any surprise.
It was already the end of spring in Chunshi, and it was still very cold in the mornings and evenings. At least you had to wear a sweater. But it was different in Guangzhou. As soon as you got off the train, you felt a burst of heat. Aunt Qiao looked down at her pink sweater, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Daughter-in-law"
A familiar voice sounded, and Aunt Qiao looked up and saw a strong figure standing not far away.
When Xu Hanzhang saw Aunt Qiao looking up, he ran over and quickly took the luggage from Aunt Qiao's hand.
"Are you tired?" Xu Hanzhang asked softly, wiping the sweat off Qiao Jinjin's cheek with his hand. "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you about the temperature difference."
Aunt Qiao smiled and shook her head. It was a little hot, but it was okay. I brought some thin clothes with me. I could just change into them when I got there.
Aunt Qiao looked around and joked, "Didn't you say you were the head of the group? Why are you alone? I thought you were with a few soldiers."
"Hahaha" Xu Hanzhang couldn't help laughing "Those soldiers lined up to come, but I sent them away. I'll take my wife to a restaurant later to try Guangzhou's food."
Because it was too hot, Aunt Qiao found a thin shirt from her luggage, ran to the restroom in the train station to change it, and then followed Xu Hanzhang into the car driven by the troops.
In this day and age, it is a great honor to ride in a military vehicle, and you are guaranteed to get people turning their heads to look at you.
Guangshi is more prosperous than Chunshi, and people are dressed more fashionably. It was then that Aunt Qiao realized that the clothes she bought at Chunshi were out of fashion in Guangshi. Perhaps she could resell the clothes after she settles down? It should be quite profitable.
All restaurants in Guangzhou are state-owned. The dishes sold every day are written on a small blackboard in advance. You have to go to the front counter to order your dishes. There are no waiters to serve you.
When the food is ready, you have to go and get it yourself, which means you have to do it yourself. The attitude of the hotel staff is not very good and they have very loud voices. If you encounter a difficult customer, they will really kick you out.
"Captain Xu?" A clear voice came from behind Aunt Qiao's left. Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her husband was quite popular. From the tone of the voice, she knew that this woman was interested in her husband.
Xu Hanzhang frowned and glanced at Qu Xuanxuan and Li Ying not far away, pursed his lips and ignored them, but in his heart he was worried that these people from the art troupe would talk nonsense about his wife.
"Han Zhang, this can't be my love rival, right?" Jin Jin Qiao winked at Xu Hanzhang jokingly.
This time Xu Hanzhang was no longer nervous, because he knew that his wife was not someone who could be easily bullied.
Seeing that Xu Hanzhang ignored them, Qu Xuanxuan nodded to Li Ying, and the two of them came to Xu Hanzhang's table and sat down.
"Is this Captain Xu's wife?" The speaker was Li Ying. She and Qu Xuanxuan had always had a good relationship, so there was some sarcasm in her words.
Although they said so, there was still a hint of surprise in Qu Xuanxuan and Li Ying's eyes when they looked at Qiao Jinjin.
Aunt Qiao smiled, not frowning at them because of the tone of Li Ying's words. She smiled lightly and said, "Yes, I am Han Zhang's newlywed wife, and you are..."
Qu Xuanxuan and Li Ying looked at each other. Qu Xuanxuan put away her surprise and jealousy and said to Aunt Qiao, "We are from the art troupe. I wonder what your sister-in-law does for a living?"
Yo yo yo, Aunt Qiao knew very well in her heart that Qu Xuanxuan wanted to embarrass her. Just as she was about to reply, Xu Hanzhang held Aunt Qiao's hand.
He turned to Qu Xuanxuan and said, "My wife doesn't have to do anything, I will take care of her."
These words made Qu Xuanxuan's teeth itch with hatred. She clenched her hands tightly on her knees. Xu Hanzhang really didn't give her any face at all.
Seeing this atmosphere, Li Ying quickly said, "Captain Xu, you are going too far. Don't you have any mercy at all?"
Xu Hanzhang glanced at Li Ying and said, "I don't know her well, what kind of relationship do we have?"
