Chapter 105 Walking Slowly and Afraid of the Dark
The hut was bustling with activity, with voices ringing out one after another.
The sisters-in-law were all in high spirits and were very enthusiastic about the sewing class. They raised their hands one by one to sign up, wishing they could get a sewing machine tomorrow so they could receive on-site teaching right away.
that's all.
The meeting was supposed to end at 8 o'clock, but it was delayed until 9:30.
Jiang Ning's mouth was dry from talking so much.
She had never said so many words at once in her life.
Later, with Xu Muhua's reminder, the women's conference finally ended.
The sisters-in-law gathered in twos and threes, talking as they walked out of the hut.
It was only when I got outside the yard that I saw Qin Jiulie's figure.
First he cried out "Ah!"
Then one sentence after another.
"Captain Qin, good evening."
"Captain Qin, why are you here so late at night?"
"How can you talk like that? Captain Qin was here to pick up Sister Ning!"
Everyone said "Oh~" in unison.
Although this military compound is safe, the conditions are limited after all. There is not even a street light on the road.
When it gets dark, it's pitch black.
I could only walk by moonlight, and sometimes I didn’t even know I kicked a stone.
At this moment, there is an exceptionally bright light on the side of the road.
It came from the flashlight in Qin Jiulie's hand.
Jiang Ning was in the house and vaguely heard the voices of his sisters-in-law, as well as Qin Jiulie's name.
She walked out of the house quickly, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
Just a glance.
Then I saw a tall figure standing outside the house.
Tall and broad.
It makes people feel extremely reassured.
The expectation in Jiang Ning's eyes has never been disappointed.
These days, Qin Jiulie is the busiest, and Jiang Ning is the young wife waiting for someone every night.
But today the relationship between the two is reversed.
Jiang Ning was happy and quickened his pace.
He walked up to Qin Jiulie in an instant.
She raised her head and asked with her bright eyes.
"Jiulie, when did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Qin Jiulie's eyes fell gently on Jiang Ning's pretty face, and he could see her long hair flying beside her cheek in the night wind.
Gently caressing her skin.
"Not long. Are you done with your business? Can you go home now?"
"It's almost done."
Jiang Ning nodded immediately, then turned to look at his sisters-in-law beside him, glanced around and said.
"Sisters-in-law, that's all for today. If you have any questions, we can talk tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, we can talk about other things tomorrow."
"Go back quickly, don't keep Captain Qin waiting too long."
"Sister Ning, go home without worry. You've worked hard today."
The sisters-in-law answered one after another.
Jiang Ning turned his gaze and looked at Qin Jiulie again.
"Let's go back--" home...
The words had just come out.
Jiang Ning immediately felt a warm force on his hand.
Her palms were tightly clasped.
The man's large palm wrapped around it.
Qin Jiulie took her hand without hesitation, intertwined their fingers, and walked forward with vigorous steps.
Jiang Ning's heart was as warm as the palm of a hand being held.
The young couple walked away hand in hand in front of everyone.
The people around him were filled with envious looks.
"Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. Take my stinky man. He always keeps urging me to help him with something, let alone pick me up home..."
"Who says it's not true? My husband must be in bed now, snoring so loudly that he might not even know I'm not at home. He's left a pile of stinky socks on the floor waiting for me to clean up when I get home..."
"How come Miss Ning is so lucky to be loved by Old Nine so much..."
The sour words drifted away with the night wind.
After muttering a few more words, the crowd dispersed.
Everyone goes back to their own home and finds their own man.
The sister-in-law with a hot temper is already planning to teach her man a lesson.
Yang Rui walked at the end of the crowd.
She is afraid of the dark and walks slowly.
The small figure almost blended into the darkness.
She didn't expect Zhao Shuisheng to come and take her home. After all, that man didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
But looking at the figures of Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie as they left.
If I say I'm not envious, I'd be lying.
But Yang Rui is very content, and life is pretty good now.
Yang Rui walked forward step by step, and just when she reached the row of houses where theirs lived, she saw a glimmer of light and a burly figure.
Zhao Shuisheng stood upright outside the yard and moved the flashlight in his hand towards Yang Rui.
He asked loudly, "The meeting is over, are you back?"
Yang Rui stopped where she was, staring blankly at Zhao Shuisheng.
She felt somewhat confused and her heart was beating faster.
I wonder if this rough guy is waiting for her?
Or are you just about to go out?
Yang Rui looked at Zhao Shuisheng, and Zhao Shuisheng also looked at Yang Rui.
He frowned heavily and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Come here quickly!"
Yang Rui's shoulders trembled.
She hurriedly took steps and walked over.
The flashlight in Zhao Shuisheng's hand moved continuously with her steps, illuminating the road ahead of her.
Wait until Yang Rui comes closer.
Zhao Shuisheng closed the door while giving instructions in a stern tone.
"You are holding a women's meeting, and it is not convenient for a grown man like me to go there. The flashlight is on the shelf, and I have checked the batteries. Remember to bring it with you next time you go out. Otherwise, since you are afraid of the dark and walk slowly, how long will it take you to get home?"
He muttered in a rough voice, sounding a little fierce.
Yang Rui blinked in disbelief, with a hint of surprise in her pupils.
This man actually knew that she was afraid of the dark? !
…
The sewing class was doing very well.
At Xu Muhua's request, Jiang Ning went down the mountain the next day to find Gu Qingwan to discuss the purchase of a sewing machine.
As it was not a market day, there was no shuttle bus.
However, Qin Jiulie made special arrangements.
The car was picked up by a military jeep, and the driver was Gao Fang, the person Qin Jiulie trusted the most.
Gao Fang met Jiang Ning outside the military compound.
After getting in the car, Jiang Ning thanked him, "Xiao Gao, I'm really sorry to bother you today and ask you to make a special trip."
"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite to me. I've heard from Captain Qin that once the sewing class is set up, if we ordinary soldiers want to sew clothes or mend something, we can also register and queue up, and it's all free!"
Gao Fang's eyes were dark and bright, and there was a big smile on his young face.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that there is no one in our company who has ever picked up a needle and thread. Normally, when we sew clothes or pants, we just do it carelessly. There was a soldier before, who was climbing over an obstacle wall during training. He just lifted his foot and his pants split with a click, exposing his buttocks..."
He has a good personality and is cheerful.
All the way down the mountain, he was talking happily to Jiang Ning.
