Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Camera Ticket

Han Jianhong, as usual, ate in the town cafeteria after training before coming back. The dormitory there was not ready yet, as they said it was unsafe for girls to live there. The town leaders were still arguing over the decision.

Han Jianhong doesn't care now. There are only her and Captain Han at home. There are no annoying people around, so she feels much more comfortable when she goes back.

She was jogging now, and she stopped at the intersection near her home. A stranger emerged from the grass, bending over and digging something.

Han Jianhong always felt that the back figure was inexplicably familiar. When she saw the man's face, her pupils tightened and she stood there stiffly.

How did this person appear here?

By the way, it was also around this time in my previous life that I met him at the beach when he was on a business trip to the island.

At that time, because I was upset with Wei Shufang at home, I was crying alone by the beach. He saw me and came over to comfort me.

Later, I met him again in the family compound. It turned out that he was Qi Huiying's cousin. After that, I met him on the island again after a while. Every time, he talked to me patiently and comforted me.

After a while, I fell in love with him. Who wouldn't like a gentle and polite person?

But later, I accidentally caught him and Qi Huiying having a tryst and discovered their relationship.

Qi Huiying was afraid that she would tell others about this, so she deliberately turned the tables and spread rumors that she was obsessed with Gu Jingwei, and that she had failed to matchmake with Qi Huiying and the two had a falling out. She also said that she had wrongly accused Qi Huiying of having an improper relationship with Gu Jingwei...

Wei Shufang was also adding fuel to the fire, implying that she was shameless and got angry and quarreled with Qi Huiying because she failed to pursue the girl.

As a result, rumors about her were everywhere in the family compound, and many people believed them, including her own father, who scolded her and said she was a disgrace.

And the man, Gu Jingwei, remained silent from beginning to end and never spoke a word for himself.

Silence means acquiescence. He is an accomplice of Qi Huiying in framing him.

Han Jianhong recalled the memories of his past life, his emotions were beating and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall violently.

"Comrade, what can I do for you?" A gentle male voice interrupted her thoughts.

When Gu Jingwei stood up, he saw the person in front of him staring at him closely, as if something was going on. He couldn't help but ask,

Han Jianhong took a breath, calmed down his turbulent thoughts, and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Jingwei pointed to the underground tunnel and said, "I don't know who dug a hole here. My cousin just fell here. I am afraid that someone else will fall here, so I filled the hole up."

Han Jianhong stared at the pit for a while, said nothing more, turned around and left.

Gu Jingwei looked at Han Jianhong's back, feeling somewhat puzzled. How could this girl know him? He had just called her his cousin, not her name, and she didn't even ask him out of curiosity who he was related to.

Judging from her young age, she is probably an introverted child.

In addition to attending kindergarten, Xia Qinqin now has extracurricular studies after school.

Every Tuesday and Thursday night, she went to Teacher Zhou's house to learn dancing. After she went home for dinner, Meng Yufei took her there, and Fangfang went with her. The two little girls walked to Teacher Zhou's house hand in hand happily.

Yueyue and Daya were also there. The four girls were learning dance in the living room of Teacher Zhou's house.

Zhou Wen Qian moved the sofa at home to the small room, leaving a large area in the living room specifically for dancing. When guests came, they would move a small stool and sit next to it.

Zhao Zhengliu had no objection to this, as long as Zhou Wenqian was happy.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm really sorry to trouble you. Not only do you have to spend time teaching the children to dance, but you also make the house so chaotic." Mrs. Zhang said embarrassedly.

She and Meng Yufei sent the children to dance together. After sending them there, they did not leave but watched the children dance for a while.

Zhou Wenqian had just finished teaching the children the dance moves and came over to chat with them. When she heard what Zhang said, she smiled and said, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Not only can I dance for the children, but I can also have a place to relax every day."

Mrs. Zhang whispered, "Does your Captain Zhao have any objections?"

Zhou Wenqian said: "He didn't say anything."

Meng Yufei said: "It looks much more spacious this way, but it will be difficult to entertain guests in the future."

Zhou Wenqian smiled and said, "So I'll have to trouble you to sit on the small stools."

Mrs. Zhang said, "What does it matter? We sit on small stools to make room for the children. But what about your Captain Zhao? What if his friends come over?"

Zhou Wenqian pointed to the study and said, "The sofas are all placed there, but the space is a little small."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble Captain Zhao."

In addition to the time she spent learning to dance, Xia Qinqin would usually practice calligraphy with Lu Yannan in the study room at home after school. Sometimes when she was tired of practicing, she would draw while Lu Yannan would read a book beside her.

That day, after writing the word "peony" ten times, Xia Qinqin put down her brush and completed her task for the day.

She stood up from her chair and turned to look at Lu Yannan who was writing next to her. After watching for a while, she said, "Brother Yannan, you write every day. Isn't it boring?"

After Lu Yannan finished writing the last word, he stopped writing and said, "In addition to writing, I also read books."

"I went to Teacher Zhou's house to dance after dinner yesterday. What did you do?" Xia Qinqin asked curiously.

Lu Yannan said: "I'm playing chess with Uncle Xia."

Seeing that he had finished writing, Xia Qinqin pulled him and said, "Brother Yannan, come with me."

Lu Yannan followed her out of the study, came to the big room, and stood in front of the closet.

The glass of the wardrobe reflected the two people's images. Xia Qinqin pointed at the mirror and said, "Brother Yannan, look, we are about the same height now. After a while, I will be taller than you."

Lu Yannan asked: "Who told you that?"

Xia Qinqin said, "My uncle said that children who love to run and jump can grow taller. I am learning to dance and I am running and jumping. Brother Yannan, you sit there every day writing, reading, and playing chess. You don't run and jump, so you are definitely not as tall as me."

Lu Yannan looked at his reflection in the mirror, pursed his lips and said nothing.

When Teacher Li returned home that evening, he saw the little figure sitting upright on the sofa again.

"Yannan, why don't you go back to your room and rest?" Commander Li asked.

Lu Yannan stood up and greeted him, saying, "Uncle Li, I have something to trouble you with."

Teacher Li walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yannan said: "I want to learn some sports, I want to ask you, what is more suitable for me to learn now."

Teacher Li came over and sat on the sofa, raised his hand to signal Lu Yannan to sit down as well. Upon hearing Lu Yannan's request, he smiled and said, "Exercise is good, it helps you stay healthy, but you are still too young, so there is no rush."

Lu Yannan asked: "Are there any sports suitable for children?"

Teacher Li thought about it and said, "Well, how about playing table tennis? I remember I have a pair of table tennis rackets at home. I'll have someone put a table tennis table in the yard. I'll play with you when we get home in the evening."

After hearing this, Lu Yannan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Li smiled and said, "When you grow up in two years, I will teach you how to swim and play basketball. There are also many other sports in the army, such as running, climbing, shooting... Don't worry."

Lu Yannan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Li."

"Okay, go to bed." Teacher Li stood up and patted his shoulder.

Lu Yannan returned to the room, sat at the desk, and took out his favorite math book, which was a book his mother left behind when she was in school.

Since you are too young to exercise to strengthen your body, you should first strengthen your mind.

…

That day, when Meng Yufei came to pick up her child from school, Teacher Zhou told her a piece of news: the city's chorus competition was about to begin this weekend.

"This weekend we are going to take the children to the city to participate in a competition. Principal Tian will lead the team. Teacher Tang, I, and the new teacher Liu Qiuju from the junior class will all go together."

Four adults with a dozen children can still handle it.

Meng Yufei asked: "Can our parents also go with us?"

Zhou Wenqian nodded: "Of course, the venue of the competition is in the big theater in the city, which can accommodate thousands of people. This is just a chorus competition for teenagers, and they are worried that the venue is too empty, so they specifically encouraged the parents of the participating students to go and watch. However, all expenses are at your own expense."

Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Of course we are going to watch a game, why would we let them pay for it?"

Zhou Wenqian said: "Sister Meng, you can go with us then."

"Okay, I'll definitely go."

On the way home, Xia Qinqin asked happily, "Mom, are you going to the competition with me?"

"Yes, mom will be cheering for you from the audience. It's a pity that I don't have a camera, otherwise I could have taken a picture as a souvenir."

Meng Yufei felt a little regretful. This was Qinqin's first time participating in a competition and it was very memorable.

Xia Qinqin asked again: "Is Dad going too?"

Meng Yufei said, "We'll go back and tell him later whether he will work overtime on the weekend. If not, he will definitely go."

When Xia Junshan heard the news after returning home, he immediately said, "I will definitely go. This is the first time for our Qinqin to participate in a competition. As a father, how can I not go and cheer her on?"

At this point, he said, "Well...it would be nice if I had a camera. I could take some pictures of Qinqin."

He actually thought of the same thing as Meng Yufei.

"Fei Fei, how about we go buy a camera this weekend?" Xia Junshan suddenly suggested.

Meng Yufei said: "There is no camera ticket at home."

Xia Junshan smiled and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this. As long as you, our finance minister, agree to allocate funds, it will be fine."

Meng Yufei smiled and said, "If you can get the tickets, I'll approve the money."

Xia Qinqin, who is a smart girl, understood that the family was going to buy a camera, and said happily: "Mom, when you buy the camera, can you take a few more photos for me? I also want to take photos with Sister Fangfang, Sister Daya, Teacher Zhou... I want to take photos with so many of them."

Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, take as many pictures as you want."

Then he turned to Lu Yannan and said, "When the time comes, take a few photos of Yannan, and then print a few more and send them to your family."

Lu Yannan curled his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Meng."

Xia Qinqin turned around and smiled, "Brother Yannan, let's take a photo together then."

"Yeah." Lu Yannan nodded.

A few days later, Xia Junshan really got a camera ticket and handed it to Meng Yufei with a smile, saying, "This time, it will cost a lot of money again."

Meng Yufei took the camera ticket and said with a smile, "This money is worth spending. We can take a few photos of Qinqin every once in a while and make an album. When she grows up, it will be very meaningful to take it out and look at it."

Xia Junshan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

…

On this weekend, Meng Yufei and Xia Junshan got up early to catch the boat that was set to depart at six in the morning. This boat was specially requested by Captain Tian from the army for this competition, and the ferry did not have a schedule that departed so early.

Because they had to get up early today, they let Lu Yannan stay at home and sleep the night before, and they brought the child over in the morning.

Lu Yannan and Xia Junshan slept in the next room. After Meng Yufei got up, she gently woke up her daughter. Seeing her daughter sitting on the bed in a daze, rubbing her eyes, she got up and prepared to wake up Xia Junshan and Lu Yannan. Just as she opened the door, the door of the next room also opened.

Xia Junshan said: "Yan Nan has woken up and is getting dressed. I will go make breakfast first. You take the two children to wash up."

"Okay." Meng Yufei nodded, turned around and went back to the house to change her daughter's clothes.

Xia Qinqin was very sleepy, her eyes were still blurry, she leaned on Meng Yufei's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Mom, I still want to sleep, I'm so sleepy~"

Meng Yufei said softly, "We are going to the city for a competition today, don't you remember? There are many children going with us, shall we get up and change clothes first?"

Xia Qinqin sobered up a little, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to the competition."

Meng Yufei changed her into a smaller green military uniform. After she put it on, she pulled her to the mirror and said with a smile, "It looks really good. Qinqin looks very energetic in this outfit."

Xia Qinqin looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She touched her messy hair and said, "Mom, I want to comb my hair."

"Okay, let's go wash your face and brush your teeth first, and mom will braid your hair for you later."

Meng Yufei brought her daughter to the living room. Lu Yannan also came out dressed. Xia Qinqin pointed at his clothes and said with a smile, "Brother Yannan, we are wearing the same clothes today."

Meng Yufei praised: "Yannan looks very handsome in this dress."

Xia Qinqin nodded: "Yes, Brother Yannan is handsome."

Lu Yannan smiled, her cheeks slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed.

After Meng Yufei helped the two children wash their faces, Xia Junshan's breakfast was ready, including noodles and fried eggs.

After dinner, Meng Yufei combed Xia Qinqin's hair, then took her things and hurried out of the house. It was not yet completely light, and the moon was still hanging in the sky.

When we arrived at the dock, Director Tian and several teachers were already waiting there, counting the number of people.

From time to time, parents would bring their children over. Some wanted to go along, while others just sent their children over and did not go, standing around the teacher anxiously to give instructions.

"Director Tian, ​​please take good care of my child. His father and I really don't have time to go with him."

"Director Tian, ​​I'm leaving my baby in your care. Please take good care of him."

Director Tian nodded continuously: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the child."

…

Seeing them coming, Zhou Wenqian came forward and pointed to the boat behind her and said, "You guys go into the cabin and sit down first. We'll set off when everyone arrives."

"Okay." Meng Yufei nodded. Seeing that they were busy, she didn't say much and took the two children into the cabin.

Zhou Wenqian turned to Tang Jiayi, who was in charge of registration, and said, "Xia Qinqin and Lu Yannan are here."

Tang Jiayi nodded and ticked the box on the paper.

After a while, Director Tian looked at her watch. It was already 5:58. She asked, "How many people haven't arrived yet?"

Tang Jiayi looked at the list in her hand and said, "There's one more person, Sun Yanli didn't come."

The head of the field frowned and asked, "Whose child is she?"

"It's the home of Battalion Commander Sun of the Second Regiment. Why don't I go to her house and take a look?" Zhou Wen Qian said.

Director Tian nodded and said, "Okay, go quickly and come back quickly."

Just as Zhou Wen Qian was about to leave, she saw two figures, one big and one small, running towards her. They were Sun Yanli and her mother.

"Teacher, teacher, don't start the boat yet, there is a child here!" Sun Yanli's mother shouted.

Zhou Wenqian hurried over and said, "Don't worry, the boat hasn't started yet."

The mother and daughter came running over breathlessly, and the headmaster Tian said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday to send the child here in advance?"

Sun Yanli's mother smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not that I was late by accident."

Director Tian said, "Hurry up and get on board. It will be too late if you don't set off now."

"Oh, okay, I'll come right over."
