Chapter 257 Young Soldier vs. Tsundere Lady (9)
The words just came out.
Lin Shijiao then realized that something was wrong.
How could she tell the truth?
A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on her red face.
Lin Shijiao hurriedly tried to make amends.
"Grandpa and grandma are even more worried! Even mom and dad called to ask about your situation."
She was like a little girl who said one thing and meant another, trying desperately to hide something and not daring to speak her true feelings.
But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Ning can feel it.
Jiang Ning did not expose Lin Shijiao. The two of them sat by the fireplace, warming themselves and chatting.
Whenever they talked about the baby in Jiang Ning's belly, Lin Shijiao's eyes would light up.
Jiang Ning deliberately told her more about the child.
From the initial confrontation between the two of them to the intimate conversations they have now, this change is already quite remarkable.
During this period.
Lin Shijiao would occasionally turn her head and look out the window.
The window was foggy and had some water vapor on it, so I couldn't see the scene outside clearly.
But the closed door could not block out the "dong dong dong" sound outside the house.
The sound of making honeycomb coal continued to come in.
I just don’t know.
The person Lin Shijiao is looking at is Qin Jiulie? Or someone else?
And Lin Shijiao’s appearance today.
In fact, it was not just because of Jiang Ning’s accident, but also because of some other reasons.
Jiang Ning guessed that with Grandpa Qin's identity, he might have already known the military district's battle arrangements at the same time.
That's why they asked Lin Shijiao to come here in a hurry, not only to see Jiang Ning, but also to see Qin Jiulie.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin made some more arrangements.
Lin Shijiao has some important things to say.
"Grandpa and grandma know that you are pregnant with twins. After my brother went to the front line, you didn't even have anyone to help take care of you. They want to ask you what your plans are. If you want to bring your family over, grandpa and grandma can arrange it. You don't need to worry about it."
Jiang Ning thought about his parents.
Both Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu were workers in a state-owned factory. If they came to take care of her, they would have to put their work aside.
That's just not worth it.
She shook her head and refused.
"There's no need for my parents to come. I get along well with the sisters-in-law in the compound. If it really doesn't work, I can ask them for help."
"Okay, it's good that you've made up your mind." Lin Shijiao continued, "In fact, grandpa and grandma also think that you don't want to trouble your family. So they arranged a nanny for you to take care of the child."
Speaking of this.
Lin Shijiao paused and took a sip of hot tea.
She looked at Jiang Ning and explained softly.
"It's not popular to hire a nanny in the military camp, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The nanny that grandpa and grandma hired can only come after the seventh day of the Chinese New Year and take care of you after the confinement. Do you think it's okay?"
Jiang Ning understood the hidden meaning of Lin Shijiao's words.
The current social atmosphere is not yet completely open, and this is especially true in military camps where discipline is important.
Hiring a nanny sounds like something a rich lady would do.
So although Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were intentional, they didn't dare to make the arrangement too conspicuous.
Jiang Ning's due date is around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. :-)
There is about one and a half months left.
If the nanny came on the seventh day of the first lunar month, it would be after the Chinese New Year and she would be able to catch up with Jiang Ning's delivery.
I'll stay and help Jiang Ning with the confinement period and take care of the baby in the cradle. It's just right for more than a month.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin decided on this arrangement after careful consideration.
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa and Grandma. Jiaojiao, help me thank Grandpa and Grandma too."
"Um."
After Lin Shijiao finished talking about these daily matters, the topic finally turned to Qin Jiulie.
Her tone also became heavier.
"Grandpa asked me to tell you that it is an honor for a man to fight on the battlefield. It is the responsibility of a true man. As his family, we must support him. If you have any concerns, just call grandpa. He will take care of everything."
"Grandma told me to tell you, don't be afraid. Grandpa has been on the battlefield all his life, and he is still alive and well. I want you to relax and don't worry too much. It's most important to take care of yourself."
"Do you... understand? If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you again."
Lin Shijiao spoke slowly, word by word, and kept looking at Jiang Ning with a worried look.
That last short sentence.
This is... what she wanted to say to Jiang Ning in her heart.
It is also Lin Shijiao's concern for Jiang Ning.
In this cold winter, Jiang Ning felt warmer than being warmed by a fire when he heard these words.
Although the Qin family members are located in various places, some are in the capital, some in the provincial capital, and some in remote military areas.
But the hearts of this family are closely connected.
And Jiang Ning has already become a part of their family.
Even Lin Shijiao was worried. As a military wife, Jiang Ning was facing such a thing for the first time and she was so nervous and anxious.
Jiang Ning's heart felt warm.
…
Lin Shijiao and Jiang Ning chatted in the room for more than an hour.
Because Lin Shijiao had to get down the mountain before dark, she had to go back not long after arriving.
Jiang Ningt wanted to send Lin Shijiao out.
But Lin Shijiao rejected her.
"When I came in just now, I saw that the road was all frozen and the ground was very slippery. You should not go out."
This was probably the first time that Lin Shijiao expressed her concern for Jiang Ning so directly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and stay put. But you have to wear these gloves. It's cold on the road, so be careful."
Jiang Ning stuffed her gloves to Lin Shijiao.
Lin Shijiao accepted it reluctantly.
She walked out into the yard.
I saw rows of honeycomb briquettes neatly arranged on the ground, but I could no longer see Qin Jiulie.
Gao Fang was still there, holding a mold in his hand, making the last few honeycomb coals.
Lin Shijiao frowned slightly.
Gao Fang stopped what he was doing and explained hurriedly.
"Ms. Lin, Qin Tuan didn't mean to avoid you. Someone from the military department came just now, and Qin Tuan went back to attend a meeting. That..."
The young man suddenly stood up straight in the cold wind.
Tall and straight.
Even his hands were placed neatly on the center line of his trouser seams.
The man's face was immature yet firm.
"From now on, I will do the dirty work like this, and I will not let Captain Qin do it himself. Um... don't quarrel with Captain Qin anymore!"
Lin Shijiao listened to Gao Fang's words and looked up in surprise.
His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.
Even Jiang Ning had never said a word in a tactful way, but heard it from the mouth of this young man.
A warm current that felt sour and bitter surged up into Lin Shijiao's heart.
she
He bit his lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed.
"This is our family's business, it's none of your business."
After Lin Shijiao finished speaking, she turned her head and strode past Gao Fang.
She walked straight ahead without looking back.
But he had only taken a few steps.
Lin Shijiao's figure suddenly stopped.
Gao Fang looked at her standing there in a daze, her back seemed full of confusion.
But after waiting for a while, Lin Shijiao didn't turn around and say anything to him.
Gao Fang was just about to give up and continue working with his head down.
Lin Shijiao turned around suddenly.
She tilted her chin towards him and asked.
"Hey, your name is Gao Fang, right?"
"Yes, tall ones, put them with confidence."
"Okay, I got it. Gao Fang, you--you need to be safe."
As soon as Lin Shijiao finished speaking, she turned around and went back.
Without stopping for a second, she walked towards the car waiting for her outside the compound.
But the words "safe and sound" kept echoing in Gao Fang's ears.
There is no better blessing than this.
