Chapter 860: Changing to "Mom"
Qiao Nan was extremely lucky that she met the Zhai family and these old revolutionaries.
"Change your address to Grandpa." Zhai Sheng reminded him, "If you keep calling him old chief, he won't be happy."
"..." Qiao Nan pursed his lips.
Qiao Dongliang and the neighbors and friends he invited were all more reserved than each other. They all sat very straight, as if they were just starting school, carrying their schoolbags to school for the first time. 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 difficult for them to sit down and keep calm.
At this moment everyone began to admire Qiao Nan. No wonder she was able to get engaged to Captain Zhai. She was really brave.
These uncles and aunts are not as brave as Nan Nan.
The neighbors and friends that Qiao Dongliang invited were usually very sensible in their actions. Apart from being nervous, they did not do anything wrong. At least they managed to finish the engagement banquet.
It wasn't a grand occasion, and they didn't even book a hotel for a big banquet. It was just an ordinary family feast, 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 respect. Qiao Nan was deeply moved when she knew this.
As a former comrade-in-arms of Master Zhai, Lin Yuankang was of course present.
As Qiao Nan's master, Lin Yuankang is coming.
Yes, Lin Yuankang's presence as a custodian of Qiao Nan also made it easier for these old revolutionaries to accept her.
For this reason, there were no fancy clothes, no palace-like venue, no ribbons, flowers and champagne, but Qiao Nan had already received the greatest recognition and courtesy from the hunters.
This kind of thought and weight cannot be measured by these qualities.
Just imagine what kind of occasion it is when so many veteran revolutionaries come?
It will only appear in extremely important national affairs!
Ordinary people cannot even see or invite these old revolutionaries, let alone gather them together like they are now. In the whole of China, only national leaders have this possibility. Even when national leaders meet them, they have to show respect and utmost reverence for these old revolutionaries.
Qiao Nan was just an ordinary girl from the neighborhood, but she was treated like a national leader. The Zhai family wanted to praise Qiao Nan to the top.
This honor is incomparable!
"Thank you for your hard work. It's just an engagement, but you still trouble me to make a trip." Until the end of the family dinner, Grandpa Zhai saw off these old comrades one by one.
The old comrades were all very happy: "Your worry can finally be cured. This time is the engagement party, and next time, you must invite us to the wedding party. But there are some requirements. We are all the grandparents of the girl, and you can't be the only one to get a gift. We want some too. We don't ask for much, just something made by the girl."
"Go to hell with you, you want to tire my granddaughter-in-law 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 with studies in the future." Grandpa Zhai said half seriously and half proudly.
“…”
I can’t remember how many times Master Zhai mentioned that the girl was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in front of them. The old revolutionaries were speechless: “She is old, but she doesn’t do things as well as the girl.”
The girl herself never mentioned it even once, but it was Old Zhai who kept talking about it over and over again. Isn't he tired of it?
"Haha, you are just jealous." Master Zhai raised his chin, still fearless.
People of their generation had few opportunities to study and the conditions were not good.
Later on, I don’t know why, but among these soldiers’ descendants, not many were able to read.
When Zhai Sheng had good grades, Old Zhai kept bragging about him in front of his old comrades. Now that there is another fresh top student from Peking University, Old Zhai has new things to show off in front of his old comrades.
"Nannan, are you tired?" Miao Liang was happy and tired at this moment. Seeing the guests started to leave, she approached Qiao Nan and asked.
"I'm fine, Aunt Miao. Are you tired?" Seeing that Miao Liang didn't look very well, Qiao Nan felt very embarrassed. Getting engaged really took a lot of time.
Qiao Nan must have been tired, but the problem was that she was the protagonist today and the most important thing was that she received so many red envelopes and a lot of compliments, such as a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Qiao Nan's tiredness and hard work were rewarded with a lot.
"Why are you still calling me auntie?" Zhai Sheng frowned and said in a coaxing tone, "Call me mom."
Miao Liang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a big smile: "Yes, although today is an engagement and not a wedding, it is still a marriage, call me mom, call me mom!"
"Mom..." Qiao Nan's voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito, and she did not have the grace and ease she had when facing the old revolutionary before.
But it was this inaudible "Mom" that made Miao Liang extremely happy: "Oh, hearing this Mom, I don't feel tired anymore. Nan Nan, you still have to call me Mom, right?"
Not only Miao Liang was happy, Zhai Sheng was even more excited and hugged Qiao Nan in his arms 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, Mr. Zhai and Zhai Yaohui soon came back with gloomy faces.
With her shoulders hunched, Zhai Hua acted like a daughter-in-law, saying nothing but silently asking Qiao Nan for help with her eyes. As for Wei De who was following behind her and the child in Wei De's arms, Zhai Hua didn't even look at them.
Qiao Nan didn't know the child in Wade's arms, but she knew Wade himself.
"What happened?" Miao Liang's good mood disappeared without a trace, and she felt a tightness in her chest: "Where did this child come from? It can't be..."
Could it be that the thing she was most worried about not only happened, but also became a reality several years ago? !
"Mom!"
"Mom."
The exciting 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 him to let go of her, then walked to Miao Liang's side, took Miao Liang's hand, and calmed her down: "Mom, this child should be Comrade Wei's nephew, his sister's son." It has nothing to do with Sister Zhai Hua.
The child is already four years old, and including the time he spent in the womb, that’s almost five years.
