Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Qian Duoduo requested to leave. Commander Ling arranged for his bodyguard to escort Qian Duoduo back to the guesthouse.
Ling Yun smiled and pulled her mother aside, saying, "I told you, don't worry, I've already passed the test with my mother-in-law, what are you afraid of?"
Ling's mother said, "No matter what, she's still your sister-in-law, a member of the Qian family. I feel a little embarrassed that Le Ran has taken our family name."
Ling Yun smiled and rested her head on her mother's shoulder, coaxing her like a little girl, "Mom, Qian Feng said that whether Le Ran's surname is Qian or Ling, she is his child. He is the father of Yi Xuan and Le Ran. That's a fact. He likes her the same way and loves her the same way!"
Commander Ling smiled and said, "You always worry about things that don't concern you. Just relax. Although we haven't had much contact with Duoduo, she seems sensible and reasonable from her conversation tonight. She made it clear that Le Ran is Qian Feng and our daughter's child, and that she is their aunt. Moreover, Xiao Yun showed me the gift Duoduo gave to the child. It's good enough that she has such a thoughtful gesture."
Ling's mother nodded and said, "A gift? What gift? I don't see it."
Ling Yun smiled and took out the two safety buckles, saying, "These two safety buckles are not cheap, and they are obviously made of top-quality Hetian white jade. There are no flaws at all. If you were to sell them, they would easily fetch tens of thousands of yuan."
Ling's mother was a discerning person, and looking at the two safety buckles, she said, "These are a bit too valuable." It wasn't that their family couldn't afford such things, but good things were hard to come by, and sometimes, even with money, you couldn't necessarily buy them, especially after those difficult years, when very few good things remained.
Commander Ling nodded: "The young lady is very sincere!"
Ling's mother said, "Old man, do you think I should also prepare something for the little girl?"
Commander Ling said, "Don't worry, I heard from Qian Feng that the young lady has found a boyfriend. I think the wedding should be in the next couple of years. We'll give her a nice gift when she gets married!"
Ling's mother nodded.
Professor Yuan saw Qian Duoduo get out of a black sedan from upstairs in the guesthouse. The driver was a soldier. He looked at Yuan Quan beside him and asked, "The car this young man is driving looks like it belongs to a leader of a high rank."
Yuan Quan nodded and said, "Yes, even our regimental commander can't be assigned a car like that."
Professor Yuan immediately understood; it seemed that Qian Duoduo's sister-in-law had someone in the family who held a high-ranking position in the military.
After Qian Duoduo returned, she went to Professor Yuan's place first. Seeing him talking to Yuan Quan, she took out the dishes that the nanny had specially prepared and said with a grin, "Professor, try some and see if the food made by the nanny in your professor's family is delicious?"
Professor Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, then I'd like to try it."
Yuan Quan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but take a serious look at Qian Duoduo. Since this girl arrived in Xinjiang Province, everyone only knew that she was the boyfriend of the regimental commander's younger brother. No one knew that she also had an elder who was a division commander here. She kept it well hidden!
Professor Yuan asked Yuan Quan to call the others over. When they saw that there was enough food for ten people, including a large bowl of rice and a lunchbox with eight dishes, they realized that the little girl had worked hard to carry it up to the second floor.
Before long, Liang Kun and his group arrived one after another. Seeing the dishes on the table, everyone couldn't help but swallow. Liang Kun asked, "What a wonderful day this is! Is it worth celebrating with so many dishes?"
Yang Bin glanced at Qian Duoduo. He knew that Qian Duoduo had gone to the district party secretary's house today. When he came back, there were so many dishes. It seemed that he had brought them all back. Looking at the dishes in the lunchbox, the garlic-flavored pork ribs were neatly arranged. It was clear that they had been specially prepared. He smiled and said, "Comrade Qian, thank you!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I've already eaten. These were specially prepared for you. You guys eat first. I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. Just give me the lunchbox after you're done eating!"
After Qian Duoduo left, the group of men looked at each other, and after Professor Yuan took the first bite of garlic-flavored pork ribs, everyone else started eating. Professor Yuan was usually quite refined at eating, but this time, during their study tour, they were eating with the soldiers in the military corps. If you didn't grab some, you really wouldn't get anything. So, Professor Yuan's eating pace noticeably increased—and the food really was delicious!
Zhou Zhuang, who was the last to finish eating, rubbed his somewhat round belly. He saw Professor Yuan leaning on the sofa, looking like he was too full to move. He then looked at Liang Kun, who looked like he was four months pregnant and was hiccuping. He felt a wave of contempt for her, thinking she was pathetic.
Yang Bin and Yuan Quan were picking their teeth with toothpicks. Yang Bin said, "Those who finish eating first don't need to worry about anything else. Those who finish eating later should wash their hands first. Zhou Zhuang, you're the last one to finish eating, so hurry up and wash the dishes so I can take the lunchboxes and stuff to Comrade Qian!"
Zhou Zhuang snorted, resignedly stood up, and packed up the lunchbox. These things were really delicious. He had never eaten anything so good, not even in Xinjiang or back in his hometown. No wonder he could work as a nanny at the division commander's house. Without a couple of spatulas, he really couldn't handle such delicate work.
Yang Bin knocked on Qian Duoduo's dormitory door, but no one answered. He wondered if she was asleep and hadn't heard him knocking. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his lunchbox and went back to his own room.
Little did he know, Qian Duoduo wasn't in her room at the guesthouse, but at the farm. Han Jun sent her a message: "Is the array plate suitable? Should I have a few low-grade crystals as spares?"
Qian Duoduo: "What? You've become rich? Now even low-grade crystals don't catch your eye?"
Han Jun: "Thanks to you, last time you gave me a lot of Mind-Enhancing Grass, which allowed me to break through to the Alchemy Master realm in one go!"
Qian Duoduo: You're such a nice guy! You took so much money and Mingxin Grass from me and upgraded directly this time. I'm stuck here and haven't upgraded at all. I'm so envious and jealous! She looked at her meager gold coins and her heart was bleeding. Han Bapi has skinned her so many times. She's just a fragile little thing now. If some people aren't careful, she'll definitely lose everything!
Qian Duoduo decisively left the store and went straight to the side of the yellow earth to start being a hardworking little bee.
