"After all, isn't he just a lousy soldier?" Qiao Zijin was not interested. "I don't want to marry a soldier. He stays in the army all year round and has no time to accompany me. To put it bluntly, do you want me to be like mom and raise the child by myself after giving birth? The Zhou family is obviously from the countryside. I am a good city girl, but I marry into the countryside and become a country girl. Mom, what are you thinking? What's wrong with the company commander? Even if he is a battalion commander, I don’t even look down on him. Mom, didn’t you say that if Qiao Nan hadn’t been born, my dad would have definitely been a battalion commander? But look at him now, my dad is now even hospitalized and has to rely on his daughter to borrow money, what kind of future does he have? He is so poor that he can’t even support himself, how can he support a child! "
She should either not look for a man in the future, or if she does, not only must the man have a certain social status, but most importantly, the man’s family must have a lot of money.
She has had enough of the hard life in Qiao’s family, and she definitely doesn’t want to live like this again after she gets married.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ding Jiayi's face changed. "You are still a child. You are not afraid of others hearing what you are saying about having children or not. Also, your father is your father after all. Your father has always loved you so much. Don't you think it's too much to say that about your father? How can your father be incompetent? You and Qiao Nan can grow up like this, aren't you raised by your father? You and Qiao Nan can go to school, isn't it all paid by your father? Zijin, don't say this again in the future. You are not letting your father down by saying this."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I don't want to say it." Qiao Zijin was dissatisfied: "My father is good to me because Qiao Nan is not a son. If Qiao Nan was a son, there would be no place for me in the Qiao family. Since my father wants to give birth to a child, he must raise me. He raised me and let me go to school. That's what he should do!"
Seeing that Ding Jiayi still wanted to scold her, Qiao Zijin said directly: "Okay, Mom, don't say it. I'm so annoyed. Anyway, I only say this in front of you, and I won't say it again in the future. Is that okay?"
What kind of world is this? She doesn't even have the right to tell the truth. It's so annoying!
"Okay, hurry up and get me some hot water. I'll assume that you haven't grown up yet and don't know how hard it is to be a parent. When you grow up and become a mother, you'll know how heartless you are." Ding Jiayi scolded Qiao Zijin a few words and then pulled Qiao Zijin away.
"Uncle Qiao..." Zhou Jun looked embarrassed, and his hand holding Qiao Dongliang seemed to be stuck and couldn't move.
In this situation, it was wrong for them to go in, and it was even more wrong for them to go out.
Finally, Zhou Jun still insisted, "Uncle Qiao, are you going to the toilet again?"
Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin just took the thermos to fetch water. Qiao Dongliang just felt the urge to urinate because he drank the soup brought by Qiao Nan, and Zhou Jun noticed it.
So Zhou Jun directly volunteered to help Qiao Dongliang to the toilet before accompanying Qiao Nan to buy watermelons, but who would have thought that the two would hear such a conversation between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin at the corner of the hospital.
"Go." Qiao Dongliang relaxed his expression and then exhaled.
He now knew that his eldest daughter was not only sweet-mouthed but bitter-hearted, but also had no conscience. Would she not go to the toilet and be suffocated to death by urinating?
But when he thought of Qiao Zijin's evaluation of him, Qiao Dongliang felt uncomfortable and his heart was churning, just like swallowing a hot glutinous rice ball without biting it open, stuck in the middle of his heart, making him want to cry. He tried to spit it out, but couldn't. He tried to swallow it, but couldn't. It was stuck in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable and suffocated.
After hearing Qiao Dongliang's words, Zhou Jun didn't delay. After helping Qiao Dongliang to the toilet, he helped Qiao Dongliang back to the ward and let Qiao Dongliang lie down.
"Qiao, Qiao Qiaonan, shall we go buy some watermelons now?" Zhou Jun was quite normal when facing Qiao Dongliang, but his tongue got tied when he saw Qiao Nan.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Zhou." Glancing at Qiao Dongliang's face after he came back, Qiao Nan didn't refuse Zhou Jun, and walked out with Zhou Jun to find a fruit store.
While picking watermelons, Qiao Nan asked, "Brother Zhou, did something happen to my dad after you helped him out just now? Why do I feel that my dad doesn't seem very happy?"
"This..." Zhou Jun hesitated for a moment, and still told Qiao Nan the whole story.
"..." Qiao Nan's face darkened: "Brother Zhou, I'm so sorry." Qiao Zijin only said bad things about two people, one was that he looked down on his father, and the other was that he looked down on Zhou Jun, but he was caught by the two parties. Is Qiao Zijin asking for trouble?
"It's okay. She's right. We are from the countryside." Zhou Jun was in a good mood. He was not angry even though Qiao Zijin looked down on him. He was very stable. "However, Uncle Qiao must be very sad to hear this. Uncle Qiao was injured. You should take care of him more these days."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
"It's okay. This watermelon is heavy. I'll carry it." Zhou Jun picked up the watermelon as if he was carrying a bottle of mineral water. It didn't seem to take any effort.
"Nannan." Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun were stopped before they walked a few steps away.
"Brother Zhai?"
"Regiment, regiment commander?"
Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun were both stunned when they saw who was calling Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan immediately smiled happily: "Brother Zhai, why are you here?"
"I have something to tell you." Zhai Sheng frowned: "Zhou Jun, why are you here?" And with Qiao Nan.
"Report to the regiment commander, my father was injured and hospitalized, I came to see my father!" Zhou Jun is older than Zhai Sheng, but he is more reserved and serious in front of Zhai Sheng than in front of Qiao Nan.
"Yes, what a coincidence, Uncle Zhou and my father are in the same ward." Qiao Nan nodded.
"Zhou Jun, I have something to tell Nan Nan. You should go back to the hospital first, and then tell Uncle Qiao that Nan Nan is home." Zhai Sheng took a long step forward, quietly creating a path between Qiao Nan and Zhou Jun, who were a little too close to each other. Naturally, the two had to go in different directions and take a half step back to let Zhai Sheng come over.
"Ah, oh, okay." Zhou Jun knew that Qiao Nan seemed to know his own leader. The first time he met Qiao Nan was to help the leader deliver something to Qiao Nan.
However, what was the relationship between Qiao Nan and the leader?
He always felt that the captain looked strange today, more ferocious than when he first joined the army as a new recruit and was trained by the captain. He seemed to exude a murderous aura, as if he wanted to kill someone.
Hmm... maybe he was wrong, the captain was famous for his smiling face in the army.
