Xiao Qin?
What the hell is this name?
Yun Qiao frowned subconsciously.
Han Rou didn't call her that before.
Does she think that marrying Vice Captain Xiong will secure her position, and is starting to act like the captain's wife in front of her?
Seeing Yun Qiao remained silent, Han Rou blinked at her, "What's wrong, Xiao Qin? Why aren't you talking?"
"I'm wondering how I should talk to you." Yun Qiao was unhappy and pointed out the problem with her address: "You can call me Doctor Qin or Comrade Qin, but it was you who called me Xiao Qin... I was so surprised that I didn't know how to respond for a moment."
Gao Qian also felt that it was wrong to call her Han Rou.
There is nothing wrong with people with higher job titles using the names of people with lower job titles, and adding a small character before the surname. However, this is usually done by older people.
When the age difference between the two parties is not much, even if the person has a higher rank, in order to show respect, one will not directly call the other person by his or her surname.
For example, Deputy Colonel Xiong was only three years older than her husband Shao Hui, and her rank was two levels higher than her husband Shao Hui. However, Deputy Colonel Xiong never called her husband Shao Hui "Xiao Shao", but always politely called him "Captain Shao".
She herself is about ten years older than Yun Qiao, and she has never called him by his name. Either she calls him Doctor Qin, or she just calls Yun Qiao. Should she call him Xiao Qin?
What is going on?
It's too rude.
Gao Qian looked Han Rou up and down suspiciously, thinking: This person doesn't look frivolous, why would he do such a frivolous thing right away?
Han Rou was glanced at by the two people's questioning eyes, and she instantly realized that she had done something wrong. She was too proud and couldn't wait to climb up to Yun Qiao's head and step on him. As a result, she took a step too big and sprained her ankle.
She unconsciously gathered the hair around her ears and explained, "Yun, Yun Qiao, I, I just felt that we were both educated youth from the same company and had known each other for more than a decade, so there was no need to be so polite."
"There's a difference between being polite and being rude." Yun Qiao looked her in the eye and said expressionlessly, "If you want to show your affection to me, you can just call me Yun Qiao like you do now. Why do you have to call me Xiao Qin?"
"You're simply thinking that since you're married to Deputy Regimental Commander Xiong and my husband is only a battalion commander, you think you're superior to me, so you're deliberately calling me Xiao Qin to disgust me."
Yun Qiao hit the nail on the head, and Gao Qian's brows immediately furrowed. She looked at Han Rou with a look of astonishment: "Comrade Han, is that what you actually think? Your competitive spirit is simply too strong."
Han Rou's face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, "Sister Qian, no, I didn't. Don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't think that way. I just said it casually..."
Gao Qian waved her hand. "Alright, stop explaining. Whether you meant it that way or not, don't call people by their names like that anymore. You and Dr. Qin are about the same age, so it's neither right nor proper to call him Xiao Qin. It's rude."
"Of course." Yun Qiao glanced at her playfully and raised his voice. "While my personal pride doesn't matter, you're so young and so competitive. The other sisters-in-law might think you don't know how to respect others. Comrade Han, you just arrived at the family compound, and is this the image you want?"
Yun Qiao deliberately raised her voice, and as she spoke, people sitting nearby turned their heads to look at the excitement here.
Of course, Han Rou didn't want this kind of image. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately. Her face turned pale and blue, as if a color palette had been overturned.
She felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have been so quick to provoke Qin Yunqiao.
She was so anxious to surpass Qin Yunqiao that she lost her rational judgment.
She should wait a little longer, until she gives birth to the child and gets a firm footing here.
Han Rou lowered her eyelids, thinking for a moment, and her eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, Doctor Qin, I was wrong just now. Although I didn't think about it as you speculated, it was indeed impolite to call you like that. I accept your criticism and hope you can forgive me..."
After saying that, Han Rou slowly raised her head, and a tear just happened to slide down the corner of her eye.
Yun Qiao sneered: "Xiao, since you apologize, I accept it."
Gao Qian patted Han Rou's hand and said earnestly, "Comrade Han, you're lucky it was Dr. Qin you met today. She's always good-tempered and didn't bother with you. But you should be more careful next time and stop yelling. If it were someone else today, they would definitely have a big argument with you, and then you'd still be in the wrong."
"Yes, I understand. I will pay attention next time." Han Rou felt that everyone around her was laughing at her. She clenched her fingers in embarrassment, her cheeks hot and embarrassed.
Fortunately, the movie finally started at this time. The lights in the auditorium gradually went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Pictures began to appear on the screen in the center of the auditorium. The people on the scene no longer paid attention to other trivial matters, but began to concentrate on watching the movie, which in disguise saved Han Rou from the embarrassment of being stabbed in the back.
Having just lost someone so old, Han Rou's mind was filled with the mockery of others, leaving her in no mood to watch the movie. Although her eyes were fixed on the screen, she wasn't really listening to a single line of dialogue. Even the three-and-a-half-year-old Xiong Qingqing in her arms was watching more intently than she was.
But three and a half years old is still too young, with limited energy. He fell asleep in less than half an hour of watching an hour and a half movie.
Han Rou left quietly with Xiong Qingqing in her arms, and she didn't even bother to say hello to Gao Qian.
Xinxin in Gao Qian's arms had fallen asleep a long time ago. Perhaps she was used to the sounds around her when she slept, so she didn't mind the loud sound of the speakers playing the movie. She slept soundly in Gao Qian's arms.
He was still snoring until the movie ended and the lights in the auditorium came on.
Gao Qian's arms felt a little numb from being pressed down by her, and she stood up with difficulty, so that her posture looked a little weird.
Yun Qiao then took Xinxin into his arms and said, "You've been holding her for so long, your arms must be numb, right? Let me hold you for a while."
"Thank you." Gao Qian breathed a long sigh of relief and took the opportunity to shake her arms and twist her waist to loosen up her stiff body.
"Jin Xin, Mu Sen, gone."
Following the crowd out of the cinema, there was a long flight of stairs outside. Under the pitch-black night, the cold wind was still blowing.
Gao Qian reached out and tucked the small blanket wrapped around Xinxin, and said to Yun Qiao, "The steps are a bit high, let me carry you."
