Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The father is reluctant to let go

Bai Xiuxiu's house is a two-bedroom apartment in a building. When Jiang Qiuyue arrived, she helped cook.

"Compared to the previous one-bedroom apartment, this one is much better." Bai Xiuxiu was quite satisfied. "In a few years, when the children grow up, Xiao Li should be able to move to a three-bedroom apartment. I am very satisfied to have a three-bedroom apartment in the capital at this time."

She bought fish and meat, helped wash vegetables, and chatted, "It's just that the climate here is too dry. I haven't adapted to it yet."

"It will be fine after a while." After Jiang Qiuyue finished marinating the fish, she asked Bai Xiuxiu to leave. "I'm here, you go out. It's rare for me to come, you can take a break. We have to be good to ourselves. Since the food in the cafeteria has become delicious, I only cook two or three days a week. I am so free."

In the past, when the children were studying and came home on weekends, Jiang Qiuyue would definitely cook. In the future, when the children are not at home, she will probably only cook when Lin Zhengrong is at home.

In a few years, there will be televisions and refrigerators, and traveling will be much more convenient. By then, she will definitely travel around and become a happy rich woman.

"You have a really good attitude. I need to learn from you." After being transferred here, Bai Xiu Xiu went to work in the supply and marketing cooperative here.

She is ambitious and plans to run her own business in a few years to make some money to make life easier for her family. They are all people of the 21st century and know how the future will change. Buying a house is essential, so they have to plan well for the future.

Bai Xiu Xiu came out of the kitchen, took out some tea and fruit, and waited until the time was almost up before asking her husband to pick up the child.

She looked at Nan Nan and said, "The weather in the capital is drier. You should keep yourself hydrated and drink plenty of water. If you feel uncomfortable, come to us. I'm not busy at work, so don't worry about bothering me. We can also go shopping together on weekends."

Lin Nannan nodded and listened to the cicadas chirping outside, looking forward to college life.

After having dinner at Bai Xiuxiu's house, Jiang Qiuyue and her family of three took a walk back. They saw Zhou Baining again at the door of Chief Yu's house.

Zhou Baining was holding an orange in his hand. "My dad asked me to come over to see if Commander Yu has returned. Since you are here, I'll give you the oranges."

Jiang Qiuyue asked Lin Nannan to take it. After hearing Zhou Baining say that he lived next door, she saw Zhou Baining's smile became a little warmer. "I want to thank you on behalf of Commander Yu. Your name is Zhou Baining, right? How come Weiguo has returned to the army, but you haven't?"

"It will be soon, just two days." Zhou Baining said goodbye with a smile.

Jiang Qiuyue looked at Zhou Baining's back and praised, "This boy is so handsome and has a straight back. I wonder what kind of people the Zhou family is like?"

"Why are you curious about what he is doing?" Lin Zhengrong pulled Jiang Qiuyue into the yard.

"Just asking."

In the evening, after Yu Guanghui came back, Jiang Qiuyue asked about him. She asked casually, but Yu Guanghui's eyes lit up.

"So you guys have met the boy from the Zhou family. What do you think of him? Is he handsome?"

Seeing that Lin Nannan was not around, Yu Guanghui continued with a smile, "Zhou Baining's parents are both military leaders, his grandfather also fought in the war, and his grandfather is a painter. I have met everyone in their family, they are very generous, so Zhou Baining was also raised to be upright, and he is a good guy. I originally wanted to introduce him to Nannan, but I didn't expect that you had already met him."

When Lin Zhengrong heard this, he immediately said, "Nannan is still young."

"I know you as a father are reluctant, but if there are good resources, we can get to know each other first. I don't want them to get married right away." Yu Guanghui believes in his own judgment of people. "Besides, I just want to match them up. It may not work out. Don't rush to say it's not good. Qiuyue, don't you agree?"

Jiang Qiuyue said they could get to know each other, "but they have met before, and if they have their own ideas, they will get to know each other well in the future, and we won't need to act as a matchmaker."

She is very open-minded about her children's love. As long as they like the person and he/she has good character, they can choose whatever they want. It doesn't matter if they fall in love once or many times. The most important thing is to be happy.

Lin Zhengrong, however, was not so optimistic. "Let's wait until Nan Nan graduates. She doesn't have enough experience now and can't tell the good from the bad in society."

Jiang Qiuyue and Yu Guanghui laughed and shook their heads. Lin Nannan came out with a book just in time, and everyone tacitly stopped discussing this topic.

Lin Nannan didn't sleep well that night and got up early. When she was taking some fresh air in the yard, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard wall.

"Congratulations, you've been admitted to Capital University." Zhou Baining poked his head out from behind the wall. He was wearing a vest and his hair was a little wet because he had just gone for a morning run.

The sunlight rose from behind him, making him look warm.

"Thank you." Because he was her cousin's comrade-in-arms, Lin Nannan greeted him politely. The early morning sun was soft and not dazzling when it fell on her cheek.

As she was about to enter the house, she heard Zhou Baining say that he was also preparing for the college entrance examination, so she casually asked, "Are you going to apply to a military academy?"

"Yes, just like Weiguo, I studied in the army." Zhou Baining himself had good grades, but he was a few years older than Lin Nannan. He didn't encounter a good opportunity after graduating from high school, so he had to join the army. "You were admitted to Capital University, so your grades must be very good. Can you tell me about the college entrance examination?"

Before Lin Nannan could refuse, Zhou Baining smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't do it. I'm just asking casually."

After hearing what Zhou Baining said, Lin Nannan briefly talked about some precautions for the college entrance examination. As the sun rose, the weather became a little hot. "But the college entrance examination system may change. You still have to pay attention to the news."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Baining said and jumped down the wall. When he entered the house, his mother asked him who he was talking to. "Oh, I'm a guest at Commander Yu's house. Just chatting."

"Just chatting? You usually don't like to chat with us, so why would you chat with a stranger?" Before Zhou's mother finished her words, she saw her son running up the stairs, shook her head and sighed, and curiously walked to the edge of the wall to look over.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the yard and I couldn’t see anything.

Jiang Qiuyue, who was next door, heard the conversation between Zhou Baining and his daughter. She was woken up by the noise and pushed Lin Zhengrong's arm away. "Hurry up and get up. If you don't get up, your daughter will be seduced away by someone else."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengrong jumped up immediately, ran down the stairs, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter come into the house.

"Dad, why are you running?" Lin Nannan looked at her father in confusion.

"Nothing... nothing." Lin Zhengrong looked around to hide his embarrassment, "I just... want to go to the bathroom. Go wash up quickly. We'll be leaving soon."

Lin Nannan said yes, and after washing up, she went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

But she was not familiar with the place, so when she saw Zhou Baining standing at the door of his house, she asked.

Zhou Baining pointed her in a direction, "Go all the way to the end and turn right, then turn left and you'll see the cafeteria. The buns in the cafeteria are pretty good, you can have two."

"Thank you." Lin Nannan left with the lunch box.

Zhou Baining was still looking, and his mother nudged him, "Is this the relative of Chief Yu? Great, son. This is the first time I've seen such a pretty girl in the family compound. You have good taste."

"Don't talk nonsense, she's my comrade's cousin, she just asked for directions." Zhou Baining glanced at her mother, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't go to people's houses and ask questions, do you hear me?"

"I know. I'm busy as your mom and I have to go to work. I don't have time to chat." She pushed her son into the house. "Don't worry. I don't have time for that."

After her son entered the house, Zhou's mother immediately went to the door of Chief Yu's house. She looked into the yard and saw a young couple who looked very pleasing to the eye. "Are you relatives of Chief Yu's family?"

"I guess so." Jiang Qiuyue came over and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm your next-door neighbor. I asked my son to send some oranges over yesterday. How are they? Are they sweet?" Mother Zhou had already sized up Jiang Qiuyue, and she felt even more satisfied when she heard Jiang Qiuyue's gentle voice.

Jiang Qiuyue said it was very sweet, "Thank you, Commander Yu and we all ate it."

"I'm glad you like it. Are you here to have fun?" Zhou's mother really had to go to work, and she really wanted to ask more questions.

"We're sending our daughter here to go to college, and we're here to have some fun for a few days." Jiang Qiuyue saw that Zhou's mother spoke in a friendly manner. Since Nan Nan hadn't come back yet, she talked to Zhou's mother for a few more words.

Hearing that Lin Nannan was a student at Capital University, Zhou's mother smiled even more satisfied, and she spared no effort to praise him, "You are so lucky. You are also amazing and know how to educate your children. My boy is also preparing for the college entrance examination. He is a platoon leader in the army. If he is admitted to the military academy, he will be a college student in the future."

Just after she finished praising her son, she heard her son calling her, and she said goodbye to Jiang Qiuyue with a guilty conscience and went home.

"Didn't you say you had to hurry to work?" Zhou Baining whispered.

"Hey, I have to go to work every day, and I don't need this little time, so don't rush me. Really, go and play with your own things, it's really boring, go and check on your brother and sister's homework." Zhou's mother pushed her eldest son away with disgust, but she did have to go to work.

She always hums songs on the way to work. Someone had introduced her to her eldest son before, but he refused. It turns out that this is fate!

Mother Zhou was in a sweet mood here, while Jiang Qiuyue had breakfast and then went out for a walk.

They stayed in the capital for three days, and when they finally parted, Lin Zhengrong was the one who was most reluctant to leave.

At the entrance of the train station, Lin Zhengrong's eyes were red, which was rare. "Remember to write to your family every week. Don't worry about not having enough money. Spend it freely. Don't make yourself suffer."

"I know, Dad. I will go home as soon as the winter vacation starts. Don't worry. I'm not a powerless girl. No one can bully me." Lin Nannan patted her father's arm and hugged her mother. "Mom, please persuade my dad. I'm really fine."

"I know you're fine, but as parents, we always miss our children." Jiang Qiuyue was reluctant, but it was time to say goodbye.

She took Lin Zhengrong's hand, waved to her daughter, and entered the train station together.

At this moment, Lin Zhengrong finally felt that his sons and daughters had grown up and were starting to pursue their own careers.

He sighed, "You're right, we've given them wings, how can we not let them fly high?"

"Yes, the children are all grown up." Jiang Qiuyue smiled and got on the train with Lin Zhengrong.

When Jiang Qiuyue returned to the family compound, she learned that Lin Meixiang was going to join the army.

Wu Shuangshuang came over to gossip with Jiang Qiuyue, "It's not easy to be a female soldier. Meixiang has to be in good health, which she has developed through regular training with Beibei and the others. You may not know, but the last building of the newly built family compound has been capped. They said it will be delivered next year, and your parents-in-law can move in then."
