Chapter 433: Shameful Face, Show of Affection
After a simple lunch, the three little ones quickly took a nap.
Jiang Ning took advantage of this time to visit the neighbors around him.
She prepared some gifts.
It's the mountain mushroom.
It’s not expensive, but the thought behind it is great.
The people living in this family quarters are all of high status.
Therefore, most of them are middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, and their wives are about the same age.
Qin Jiulie is the only one who is as young as he is and transferred from the army.
Jiang Ning met about seven or eight neighbors, all of whom were women older than her.
Unlike before when she was in the military compound, she could meet Yang Rui, who was about the same age as her.
But precisely because of the age gap, the neighbors around him showed more care and concern towards Jiang Ning.
When he heard that she was Qin Jiulie's wife, he was as happy as if he had met his own sister.
Someone else said.
"I used to live in the capital, and I had the honor of meeting General Qin once. I didn't expect to meet him again here. It's really fate. Are you here alone? Where's Minister Qin?"
Jiang Ning said, "My husband will arrive later. He has something to do. I will take the three children here to settle down first."
"You have kids? I see you're only about 20 years old, and you already have kids, three at that? I can't tell at all."
When the neighbor's wife heard that Jiang Ning had children at home, she went back to her house and took out a bunch of snacks and insisted that she take them back.
"Sister, don't be polite with the sisters-in-law. We will live here from now on, just like a family. Today is also considered as an official meeting, so we should interact more in the future."
"Okay, I will."
Jiang Ning is young, handsome and likable.
Moreover, she has a rare tranquil temperament, and it is obvious that she is well-educated.
One might even think that she was a rich lady raised in some wealthy family. ┆┆
In a short period of time.
Jiang Ning also got to know most of the neighbors around him.
She gave away some souvenirs and got back even more, mostly food and daily necessities, very practical.
…
This day.
Qin Jiulie didn't get home until it was dark.
Just in time for dinner.
As soon as he entered the door, Yaya shouted happily.
"Dad is back! Mom, Dad is back!"
The little girl jumped out of the house and raised her little hands to hug Qin Jiulie's long legs.
The tall man lowered his head, held the little girl in his hands, and lifted her up easily.
The frost on that cold, hard and deep face disappeared completely.
Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is tenderness and gentleness instead.
He walked in holding Yaya in his arms. After entering the front room, he saw Sui Sui also raising her little arms.
"Daddy, hug me."
Sui Sui is a bit naive and is always a step slower than Ya Ya.
Qin Jiulie picked up Sui Sui with one hand.
The two little girls sat comfortably on his arms, put their arms around his neck, and called "Daddy" sweetly.
Under such a sweet offensive.
Even the heart of a tough guy can become as soft as a thread.
As soon as you enter the house.
Qin Jiulie smelled the aroma of food in the air.
Going further in, I saw Jiang Ning, wearing a white apron, busy in front of the stove.
In this strange home, there are the people he loves most.
Here.
It's home.
"Wife, I'm back."
Jiang Ning had already heard the voices coming from the front room. He put down the spatula and turned around, only to see Qin Jiulie behind him.
He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and tie.
His hair is a little longer than before, and he no longer has the short haircut he wore in the army.
But still handsome and stylish.
And even more handsome.
Her whole body exudes the temptation of a restrained uniform.
I never get tired of watching it.
A smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "You're back. You can eat--"
Qin Jiulie held the child in his arms, without moving his arms, and just leaned over.
Gently, kiss Jiang Ning on the lips.
With his core strength, he completed this move with ease.
Steal a hint of fragrance.
Yaya quickly covered her eyes, "Shame on you!"
Before Sui Sui could react, her round eyes blinked in a cute way.
Tongtong, standing by, had become completely accustomed to his parents' show of affection.
He continued to work, arranging the pairs of chopsticks neatly.
Jiang Ning blushed slightly and slowed down his breathing.
"Eat, eat."
"Well, it's time to eat!"
The dinner that day was not complicated, just three simple dishes and a soup, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and a balanced nutrition.
But for their family of five to sit at the same table is already the greatest happiness.
…
at night.
What Jiang Ning was worried about finally happened.
The closer it got to bedtime, the more uncomfortable Yaya and Sui Sui felt.
Sui Sui's eyes were red. She pulled at Jiang Ning's pajamas and looked like she was about to cry.
Even the brave Suo Suo had red eyes and looked like a pitiful and aggrieved little girl.
This was the first day they slept in their own room since leaving Jiangning.
It’s not so much fear as it is unfamiliarity.
Children seem to be born worried that they will be abandoned by their parents.
"Mom, what if Yaya wakes up and still can't see you?"
"No. Tomorrow morning, Mom will come to wake you up. I make sure that when Yaya opens her eyes, the first person she sees is Mom."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Mom will definitely do what she promised Yaya."
"But...but...Yaya is scared."
Yaya couldn't think of any reason, so she could only complain aggrievedly.
Sui Sui also said this.
"I can't see my mother. I'm scared. Sui Sui is scared."
Hearing the children's pitiful voices, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Maybe she was too impatient.
After all, today is only the first day and the children have not yet adapted to the unfamiliar environment.
Or take it slow?
When Jiang Ning was struggling and hesitating.
Tongtong stretched out his little arms and hugged Suisui who was standing beside him.
"Don't cry. Sui Sui, don't cry. Brother is still here. Brother is with you. Let's sleep together."
The little hand patted Sui Sui's back.
One by one, gently.
The tears that had accumulated in Su Su's eyes stopped flowing out.
Yaya looked at Tongtong and called softly, "Brother..."
Tongtong reached out and held Yaya's little hand.
"Don't be afraid, Yaya. Brother will hold your hand and will hold it even when you fall asleep."
"You never let go?"
"Yeah, never let go, always hold each other."
"Then... then Yaya is not afraid anymore!"
Yaya sniffed and moved closer to Tongtong.
The three little guys huddled together.
Tongtong slept in the middle, with Yaya and Suisui on both sides of him.
Yaya warned, "Brother, I will open my eyes and see, you must not let go."
"Okay, I won't let you go."
Tongtong nodded and promised seriously.
A small storm, and it ended just like that.
Jiang Ning pulled up the quilt and covered them.
She thought to herself that her children were actually braver than she thought.
"Goodnight, babies."
"Good night, mother."
