Sun Lan brought the person to Qin Zheng without saying a word, and it was early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings.
The distance from the commune to the military family compound is not short. It takes two hours to get here by car. I don’t know what time in the morning Sun Zhu got up to come here.
"Captain Qin, hello." Sun Zhu glanced at Qin Zheng shyly, her voice so delicate and soft that it almost dripped with water.
Qin Zheng nodded slightly and said politely: "Hello."
Then he said to Feng Juan, "Aunt Feng, you guys chat, I'm going out for a while." Then he got up and left.
"Captain Qin, what's the matter with going out so early in the morning?"
After finally bringing Sun Zhu to Qin Zheng, Sun Lan didn't want to let him go so easily. She quickly called him over and said, "Sit down and chat for a while."
Qin Zheng shook his head: "No, sister-in-law. It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to be in your women's conversation."
After saying that, Qin Zheng put on his military coat, opened the door and went out.
Looking at Qin Zheng's back without even turning his head, Sun Lan felt a little angry.
She didn't believe that Qin Zheng couldn't see her intention of bringing Sun Zhu here, but he still didn't give her any face, just said hello and left. He didn't even glance at her Sun Zhu the whole time, he was simply arrogant!
"Aunt, your Captain Qin is very busy. He is not free even on New Year's Day. My old Chen is still sleeping soundly in his bed."
Sun Lan tried to suppress her anger, but the resentment in her heart eventually spilled out from her mouth, making her words sound sarcastic.
Feng Juan pretended not to understand Sun Lan's sarcasm and continued with a smile, "Xiao Qin is doing well and is valued by the leaders. It's normal for him to be busy."
But after she said this, Sun Lan became even more angry.
What does it mean?
Is she implying that her husband, Mr. Chen, is not ambitious and not valued by his superiors, so he can sleep soundly on New Year's Day?
Sun Lan's face turned pale and blue, and she felt she could no longer stay in the Qiao family. She forced a smile, exchanged a few words with Feng Juan, and then left with Sun Zhuo.
Yun Qiao waited until the Sun Lan sisters left before coming out of the room.
She put on the white rabbit fur coat that Feng Juan had bought for her years ago. White clothes look darker when they meet black, and even whiter when they meet white. Yun Qiao had just gotten up and hadn't washed her face yet, but she had slept soundly, so she was particularly energetic and radiant. Her face was as white as jade, and the rabbit fur coat made it look so white that it almost glowed.
"Get up." Feng Juan's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Qiao: "Your clothes look good on you."
"You have good taste and the clothes you picked are suitable for me."
Yun Qiao walked up to Feng Juan with a smile and pointed towards the door. "What's the guy next door doing here?"
"No one comes here without a visit. What else could she be doing here? She's here to promote her cousin to your brother." Feng Juan said unhappily.
It was New Year's Day, and Feng Juan didn't want to talk about her unhappy daughter, so she changed the subject and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth first. Breakfast is in the pot, I'll heat it up for you."
"Your little grandma fried the leftover dumplings from yesterday. They're so delicious. Eat a few more. After you finish eating, your brother should be here. He said he wants to take you out to pay New Year's greetings."
"good."
Yun Qiao responded, took some water, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and finally applied some fragrant cold cream.
While Yun Qiao was washing her face, Feng Juan heated up the fried dumplings and made her a cup of malted milk for her to eat with.
"Thank you, Mom." Yun Qiao sat down, took the chopsticks handed to him by Feng Juan, picked up a golden fried dumpling, and took a bite. It was tender and juicy, and it was filled with pure meat.
"It's delicious." Yun Qiao praised it and asked Feng Juan, "Mom, do you want to eat some more with me?"
Feng Juan waved her hand: "No, I've already eaten, you can eat it yourself."
"All right."
Yun Qiao felt a little full after eating half of the whole plate of fried dumplings. Fortunately, Qin Zheng came in time. Yun Qiao's eyes lit up and she waved to him quickly: "Brother, you came at the right time. Grandma's fried dumplings are delicious. Have some."
Qin Zheng glanced at the half-empty plate and smiled knowingly: "Can't finish it, right?"
Yun Qiao smiled embarrassedly, pursing his lips.
Qin Zheng got up early and had actually eaten breakfast long ago, but men have big appetites, so if he is full, it is no problem for him to stuff a few fried dumplings into his stomach.
"Give it to me, I'll clean up the mess."
"Brother, please sit down!" Yun Qiao attentively helped him pull out the chair, then took out a pair of clean chopsticks from the chopstick holder and handed them to Qin Zheng: "Here."
Qin Zheng took the chopsticks and ate one fried dumpling at a time. In less than two minutes, he finished the remaining dumplings on the plate.
After eating, he did not forget to pick up the empty plate and walked to the sink to wash the plate and the cup that Yun Qiao used to drink malted milk.
Qin Zheng: "Is it gone now? No, come on, follow me out to celebrate the New Year."
"Wait a minute." Yun Qiao called him.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zheng asked.
Yun Qiao ran into the room, took out the passbook Qin Zheng had given him yesterday, and stuffed it into his hand: "Brother, this is back to you."
Qin Zheng: "Why are you giving it back to me? Didn't we agree on this yesterday? I'll give it to you."
Yun Qiao shook his head: "No, there's too much money in here. You must have worked for many years to save this much. I can't take it."
"Don't think it's too much. The money in this passbook is specially saved for you. Just keep it with peace of mind." Qin Zheng explained: "You haven't been by my side these years, and I can't take care of you. This is my compensation for my dereliction of duty."
Yun Qiao didn't expect Qin Zheng to still want to compensate her. She felt warm in her heart and her eyes were a little hot: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. I don't blame you at all for what happened back then..."
Qin Zheng smiled slightly and didn't respond. He just said, "Keep it. I have a high salary and I get bonuses every day. These five thousand yuan are not all my family's wealth. You don't have to worry that your brother will become a pauper after taking this money. Your brother will not be poor at all."
Yun Qiao wanted to say something else, but Qin Zheng stuffed the passbook back into her pocket without saying anything. "Okay, there's no need to be so polite between siblings. Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go pay New Year's greetings early."
Through her pocket, Yun Qiao's hand stroked the outline of the passbook. She felt deeply moved, and a layer of mist gradually covered her almond-shaped eyes.
The passbook is light, but my brother's feelings are heavy in my hand.
Her brother is so nice.
It was so good that Yun Qiao felt like he was dreaming.
If this is really a dream, then Yun Qiao hopes that he will never wake up from this beautiful dream.
