After hearing Gao Qian say this, Yun Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.
She thought of her brother Qin Zheng.
Her brother's mother also died young, but the difference was that he was separated from his father at a young age and sent to foster care in the rear base, where he was raised by a fellow villager with no relatives or connections. By the time a stepmother arrived, he was already quite old. Although he didn't have to worry about being mistreated at that time, without the bond of blood, even after so many years, the two of them were still more polite than close.
No matter what, mom is still the best.
No matter how good a stepmother is, she can never be as good as a biological mother.
Yun Qiao sighed and said, "Ah, I hope she can treat Qingqing well in the future."
Coming out of Gao Qian's house with An Xiaomei, Yun Qiao happened to meet Xiong Xiangzhong who came to pick up Qingqing after get off work. Because they were not familiar with each other, he just nodded slightly to Yun Qiao and the other person as a greeting.
Yun Qiao also smiled and nodded slightly, then passed by Xiong Xiangzhong.
As they walked out together, they heard Xiong Xiangzhong say to Gao Qian, "Comrade Gao, I'm here to take Qingqing home."
An Xiaomei glanced back curiously and asked Yun Qiao in a low voice, "That man just now, is he Qingqing's father?"
Yun Qiao nodded, and seeing her surprise, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you surprised?"
An Xiaomei hummed, "Qingqing is petite and delicate, but I didn't expect her father to be so tall and strong, a big man."
Yun Qiao said, "Actually, Qingqing looks a lot like her father. They both have big frames. Haven't you noticed? Qingqing is only half a year older than Xinxin, but she's half a head taller. She's just too thin, with no flesh on her arms and legs, and not as sturdy as Xinxin, which makes her look frail."
An Xiaomei thought about it carefully and found that Qingqing was indeed like Yun Qiao said, with a big head and a big frame, but because she was too thin, it affected her judgment.
Alas, after all, it is because I don’t have my mother’s care and love, and my father is careless. Hiring a nanny can only ensure that I have enough food and drink, but the nutrition in other aspects is still not enough.
Not to mention anything else, but the difference was especially obvious when they stood together: one had a rosy complexion, was a bit chubby, and had arms and legs as plump as little lotus roots; the other had dry, yellow hair, was a big guy, and had arms and legs as thin as bamboo poles.
An Xiaomei sighed. "Qingqing looks so pitiful. She lost her mother before she was even a year old. I hope her biological parents and stepmother will treat her well. I think this Captain Xiong has a very honest face. He doesn't seem like the type who would forget about his previous child after marrying a new wife and having a new child."
Yun Qiao curled his lips and echoed.
After leaving Hutong No. 0, An Xiaomei said goodbye to Yun Qiao: "Goodbye, Doctor Qin."
"goodbye."
After saying that, An Xiaomei walked out of the family compound, and Yun Qiao also turned around and walked home.
Back at No. 6 Hutong, He Tingjun was already home. He had changed into work clothes and was squatting in the southwest corner of the yard picking chicken feathers.
"I'm back." He Tingjun raised the half-feathered pheasant in his hand and said with a smile, "Let's have some meat tonight."
Unlike the gray poultry, the pheasant's feathers were a dazzling array of colors. Yun Qiao said, "Save the feathers on the chicken's butt for me. I'll wash them later and make a feather shuttlecock for Xiao Gao's daughter Xinxin to play with."
"Ye." He Tingjun agreed immediately.
Yun Qiao asked curiously, "But haven't you been doing regular training at the camp lately and haven't been out in the wild? Where did this pheasant come from?"
He Tingjun said, "Gu Cheng gave it to me. He's been in a bad mood these past few days, so he took three days off. He went for a walk in the mountains one day and happened to catch a pheasant. He lives in the Xiti dormitory and had no place to stew it, so he gave it to me. When it's done, I'll send him a pot."
"good."
Speaking of Gu Cheng, Yun Qiao recalled that he had a blind date with Han Rou, but the marriage was interrupted by Captain Xiong.
This is also unlucky. I met an insincere blind date partner on my first blind date.
Yun Qiao couldn't help but ask one more question: "Is Gu Cheng gone?"
He Tingjun said, "I think he's in good shape, but he doesn't like to smile anymore."
