Chapter 861 Changing to "Mom"
Qiao Nan was extremely lucky that she met the Zhai family and these old revolutionaries.
"Change to Grandpa." Zhai Sheng reminded: "If you keep calling the old leader, the old man will be unhappy."
"..." Qiao Nan pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to call him.
Qiao Dongliang, including the neighbors and friends he invited, were more reserved than the other. They all sat very straight, as if they were carrying schoolbags to school on their first day. Their hands were placed neatly on both sides of their bodies, and they didn't dare to move their eyes around. They sat more stiffly than the other, as if they were being punished.
Facing these old revolutionaries, these people really couldn't laugh. It was already not easy for them to sit down calmly.
At this moment, everyone began to admire Qiao Nan. No wonder she was able to get engaged to Captain Zhai. She was really brave.
Uncles and aunts like them were not as brave as Nan Nan.
The neighbors and friends that Qiao Dongliang invited were usually very sensible. Apart from being nervous, they did nothing wrong. At least they finished the engagement dinner. It
was not a big scene. They didn't even book a hotel for a big banquet. It was just an ordinary family banquet. But for Qiao Nan, these were really enough.
Even though Qiao Nan was not a politician, after listening to the explanation of her master Lin Yuankang, she knew that the more the Zhai family did this, the more they recognized her and gave her dignity. Qiao Nan was deeply moved when she knew it.
As a former comrade-in-arms of Master Zhai, Lin Yuankang was of course present.
As Qiao Nan's master, Lin Yuankang was even more present.
It can be said that Lin Yuankang was there to protect Qiao Nan, which made it easier for these old revolutionaries to accept her.
For this, there were no fancy clothes, no palace-like venues, no ribbons, flowers, and champagne, but Qiao Nan had already received the greatest recognition and courtesy from the Zhai family.
This thought and weight cannot be measured by these qualities.
Just imagine, what kind of occasion would it be when so many old revolutionaries came?
It must be a very important national event for them to appear!
Ordinary people can't even meet or invite these old revolutionaries, let alone gather together like now. In the whole of China, only national leaders can have this opportunity. Even if national leaders meet them, they have to show respect and supreme respect to these old revolutionaries.
Qiao Nan is just an ordinary girl from the neighborhood, but she is treated like a national leader. The Zhai family praises Qiao Nan to the sky.
This honor is incomparable!
"Thank you for your hard work. It's just an engagement, and you still trouble you to make a trip." Until the end of the family dinner, Grandpa Zhai sent these old comrades away one by one.
The old comrades were all very happy: "Your worry can finally be cured. This time it's an engagement party, and next time, you have to invite us to the wedding banquet. But there are requirements. We are all the grandparents' generation. You can't be the only one with gifts, we want some too. We don't want much, just some small things made by a little girl."
"Go to hell, you want to tire my grandson's wife to death. She just finished the college entrance examination this year. She was the top scorer in liberal arts in our provincial capital and applied to Peking University. She will be busy studying in the future." Grandpa Zhai said half seriously and half proudly.
"..."
I can't remember how many times Master Zhai mentioned that the little girl was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in front of them. Several old revolutionaries were speechless: "You are old, but you don't do things as well as the little girl."
The little girl herself didn't mention it even once, but Master Zhai kept talking about it over and over again. Isn't it tiring?
"Haha, you are jealous." Master Zhai raised his chin, still fearless.
People of their generation have few opportunities to study and the conditions are not good.
Later, I don't know why, but not many of their descendants who served in the army can study.
When Zhai Sheng had good grades, Master Zhai kept talking about him in front of his old comrades every day. Now there is another fresh Peking University top student. Master Zhai has new capital to show off in front of his old comrades.
"Nannan, are you tired?" Miao Liang was very happy and hard-working that day. Seeing that the guests began to leave, she approached Qiao Nan and asked.
"It's okay, Aunt Miao, are you tired?" Qiao Nan felt very embarrassed when she saw that Miao Liang didn't look very good. She was really busy with a lot of people.
Qiao Nan must be tired, but the problem was that she was the protagonist today. The most important thing was that she received so many red envelopes and a lot of compliments. They were a perfect match. Qiao Nan's tiredness and hard work were rewarded with a lot of rewards.
"Still calling me auntie?" Zhai Sheng frowned and said in a coaxing tone: "Call me mom."
Miao Liang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a big smile: "Yes, although today is an engagement and not a wedding, it is still a wedding, call me mom, call me mom!"
"Mom..." Qiao Nan's voice was as small as a mosquito's, and she didn't have the grace and generosity she had when facing the old revolutionary before.
But it was this inaudible "Mom" that made Miao Liang extremely happy: "Oh, I don't feel tired after hearing this mom. Nan Nan, you still have to call me mom, right?"
Not to mention Miao Liang was happy, Zhai Sheng was even more happy to hug Qiao Nan in front of Miao Liang.
If Miao Liang was present, Zhai Sheng would have wanted to give Qiao Nan a kiss as encouragement and reward.
However, the good mood did not last long. After seeing the guests off, Zhai Laoyezi and Zhai Yaohui soon returned with gloomy faces.
With shoulders hunched, Zhai Hua, like a little wife, said nothing, but silently asked Qiao Nan for help with her eyes. As for Wei De who was following behind him and the child in Wei De's arms, Zhai Hua did not even look at them.
Qiao Nan did not recognize the child in Wei De's arms, but she did recognize Wei De himself.
"What happened?" Miao Liang's good mood just disappeared without a trace, and she felt a tightness in her chest: "Where did this child come from? Could it be..."
Could it be that the thing she was most worried about not only happened, but also became a fact several years ago?!
"Mom!"
"Mom."
The excited sentence came from Zhai Hua's mouth, and the calm sentence came from Qiao Nan's mouth.
Qiao Nan patted Zhai Sheng's arm, asking Zhai Sheng to let her go, then walked to Miao Liang's side, took Miao Liang's hand, and made Miao Liang calm down: "Mom, this child should be Comrade Wei's nephew, his sister's son." It has nothing to do with Sister Zhai Hua.
