Chapter 147 Being a Guest
Qin Zhengrong was holding something in one hand and holding the Three Treasures in the other.
Su Qiao held Dabao and Erbao in each hand, and the family walked towards the teacher's yard.
As soon as their family of five went out, Guo Qian, who had listened to Fan Xiaomei's suggestion, popped up.
"Fan Xiaomei is absolutely right.
The Qin family really went to the teacher's house with lots of gifts for the sake of promotion!"
She was originally mumbling to herself, but unexpectedly Yao Jinhua who happened to pass by heard it.
Yao Jinhua has a carefree personality and a loud voice.
He shouted directly, "Guo Qian, stop joking.
If Captain Qin wants to get promoted, does he need to give gifts or use connections?
When he came back from his last mission, the commander wanted to promote him to deputy regiment commander, but he himself said that he was not qualified enough and resigned.
This time when he went back to his hometown for vacation, he also busted a den of smugglers, which was another great achievement.
If someone wants to move up in the ranks, it is only natural that they can rely on their military achievements. Why would they need to use backdoors?"
Guo Qian was a little embarrassed as she thought someone might have heard her speculation behind her back.
He snorted coldly and said, "Oh, this is different now.
The commander liked him in the past, he hadn't offended anyone, and he had military merit, so of course he could be promoted.
Now his hot-tempered wife has caused the daughter of Commander Jiang to go to the countryside. If he doesn't use the back door of the division commander, why should he be promoted?"
"Hey!" Yao Jinhua was not convinced, "What are you talking about?
If the leader's daughter had said something like that in some other place, she would have been criticized long ago.
Sending them to the countryside to receive education is the easiest punishment! "
Guo Qian also knew that Jiang Dan had said that and refused to apologize, and was now the public enemy of the entire compound.
She puffed out her chest somewhat lacking in confidence, "Then...then she caused Commander Jiang to be demoted and resign from his post?"
This time, Yao Jinhua didn't say anything.
Aunt Qian brought a basin of water and splashed it in front of Guo Qian, "A person with a dirty heart will think everyone is as dirty as she is.
Aren't you just feeling upset because your grandson has been working as the battalion commander for eight years and hasn't moved away yet?
If you want to be a leader's wife, you should let your grandson go on missions and win military merits!
Why are you always staring at other people? "
In fact, those living in the front two rows of the compound are all families of officers at the battalion level.
Everyone also hopes that their men can move up.
But everyone knows that to rise in the military, one must accumulate experience and military merit.
This qualification is easy to say.
Military merit is not easy to gain.
Missions that can accomplish great things require risking one's life.
Without dangerous missions, there would be no great achievements.
Guo Qian's thoughts were exposed by Aunt Qian's words. She was even more embarrassed and said awkwardly, "I'm too lazy to tell you guys."
Just walked away quickly.
The teacher's house is in the innermost row of the compound.
Not only is the yard three times larger than the one Su Qiao and his family live in now, but there are also many tall trees planted around it to separate the teacher's yard from other yards.
In this bustling military compound, the commander's home is quiet and exceptionally peaceful.
When Su Qiao followed Qin Zhengrong and stood at the gate of the teacher's house, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Qin Zhengrong noticed her nervousness, so he reached out and squeezed her hand.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at the man.
Looking into the man's deep and determined eyes, an exceptionally solid and safe feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, instantly diluting those tense emotions.
Qin Zhengrong raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Here I come!”
A friendly voice sounded from inside the door, and the door opened at the same time.
The teacher's wife, Xie Yuelan, is ten years younger than the teacher. She is 58 years old this year. Although her hair is completely white, her face is rosy, she is full of energy, and her smile is friendly, which makes people feel good when they see her.
Su Qiao's anxious heart suddenly settled down in her stomach.
Xie Yuelan looked at Su Qiao, a flash of surprise in her eyes.
Today Su Qiao was wearing a formal light grey Mao suit and her hair was tied into two big braids at the back of her head.
A bright little face full of smiles makes people happy just by looking at it.
"Hello, auntie."
Su Qiao greeted Xie Yuelan politely, then called out to the three children, "Yangyang, Xiaojing, Xiaoyan, say hello to grandma."
"Hello, grandma!"
The clear, baby voices of the three little guys rang out in the yard, instantly adding a lot of liveliness to the yard.
Xie Yuelan originally liked children, and her own grandchildren were all far away from her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law.
It's just that I have a heart full of love but have nowhere to show it.
When he saw the three children, he immediately smiled kindly with his eyes curved, "Good, good, good, you are all good children."
She touched the three children's heads lovingly.
His gaze then returned to Su Qiao.
"Two days ago, I heard that Xiao Qin's wife was as beautiful as a fairy, but I didn't believe it.
Now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved.
Even the fairies in heaven are not as beautiful as you!"
Su Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie, I feel embarrassed by your compliments.
Speaking of beauty, your inherent elegance is the most beautiful."
By Xie Yuelan's age, there is no longer any sense of beauty or ugliness in appearance.
But Su Qiao's exaggeration from the perspective of temperament is more sincere.
There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised for her beauty and elegance.
Xie Yuelan immediately burst into laughter, "Xiao Su's mouth is as sweet as honey."
Qin Zhengrong took the opportunity to pass on the things that Su Qiao had prepared, "Auntie, these are the mung bean cakes, peanut candies, and steamed crispy pork that Qiao Qiao made.
Bring it to you and the teacher to taste."
The teacher's family is honest and upright. If Xie Yuelan wants to buy something from them, she will definitely not accept it.
But since these things were made by Su Qiao, they are a token of his thoughtfulness, so naturally I have to accept them.
Xie Yuelan took it and said with a smile: "Then we have to taste Xiao Su's cooking skills."
Xie Yuelan handed the things to the little warrior who was serving in their home, and took Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong's family into the house.
Hearing the noise, teachers Han Yushan and Han Tengfei came out of the study.
Han Yushan is already 68 years old this year, but his back is still straight and he is full of energy.
His square face exudes an air of majesty without even being angry.
Because he was troubled by baldness, he wore a military cap for a long time and never took it off even at home.
Han Yushan raised his hand and called to Qin Zhengrong, "Zhengrong, take Comrade Xiao Su and the children to sit down. What are you all standing for?"
Qin Zhengrong and Su Qiao sat down with the children.
At this time, the little warrior had already put the mung bean cakes and peanut candies that Su Qiao brought on plates and served them on the table.
Xie Yuelan greeted them warmly, "Old Han, Tengfei, these green bean cakes and peanut candies are all made by Comrade Xiao Su.
I just smelled it in the kitchen and couldn't help but sneak a bite. It tasted amazing.
Come and try it.”
Han Yushan and Han Tengfei did not refuse Xie Yuelan's face.
I took a bite of each.
Han Tengfei is such a cold person, but when he ate the mung bean crisps and peanut candies, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.
Xie Yuelan said with a smile: "Tengfei, how is it? Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"
After Han Tengfei was surprised, his face still showed no excessive expression. He just looked at Su Qiao sincerely and said, "Sister-in-law, I will provide mung beans, peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar.
Can you give me some more of this mung bean crisp and peanut candy?"
Xie Yuelan immediately teased him, "You little brat, you loved sweets when you were a kid, and now you're so grown up, you still eat sweets.
If you want to eat it, hurry up and find a wife and let her cook for you!
What do you want to bother your sister-in-law with?"
Han Tengfei: …
He just wanted to have a couple of bites of delicious sweets, how could this be related to his marriage and finding a partner?
Su Qiao smiled and replied, "Of course, no problem. Whenever you want to eat, just tell me and I'll make it."
"Let me thank my sister-in-law first." Han Tengfei said sincerely.
At this time, Han Yushan, who had just finished eating a piece of mung bean crisps slowly, looked at Su Qiao sternly and said:
"Comrade Xiao Su, I asked you and Zheng Rong to come to my house today for other purposes besides dinner.
I have something else to ask you two. You and Zhengrong come with me to the study room."
