Chapter 52: Surprise, she is not a soldier
Jiang Ning didn't pay attention to their conversation and was about to walk out.
But Grandma Qin on the side.
But he gently pulled Jiang Ning's wrist.
"Hush."
Grandma Qin made a hushing gesture to Jiang Ning and gave him a meaningful look.
Then the two of them hid behind the curtain.
Start eavesdropping without being noticed...
…
In front of Grandpa Qin, Lin Shijiao did not show any of her previous arrogant and willful behavior.
The arrogant eyes, the upturned chin...all those bad things were put away.
Instead, it has a rare touch of purity.
It's just like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl acting coquettishly with the person closest to her.
She held Grandpa Qin's arm tightly and shook it gently.
Grandpa Qin had a smile on his face, looking at her lovingly, and spoke.
"Jiaojiao, it's time for you to go home with grandpa."
When it comes to going home.
Lin Shijiao's originally gentle expression suddenly froze.
She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "Grandpa, I won't leave. I want to stay here."
Grandpa Qin said, "You are a girl, not a soldier, how can you stay here forever?"
Lin Shijiao...isn’t she a soldier?
When Jiang Ning heard this, his eyes moved in surprise.
Because she read the original text casually, and the sisters-in-law around her said that Lin Shijiao was from the army art troupe.
And Lin Shijiao was indeed wearing a military uniform.
So Jiang Ning subconsciously thought that Lin Shijiao was a soldier, but he never thought that she was not.
Since Lin Shijiao is not a soldier, how come she is in the army art troupe?
This doubt emerged in Jiang Ning's mind.
Grandpa Qin's words then slowly came over.
"Jiaojiao, the army is a very sacred place, you can't act recklessly or capriciously. You kept begging grandpa to come, but grandpa didn't agree, so you sneaked into the logistics department of the art troupe and came here on a truck carrying supplies. Do you know how worried grandpa is about you?"
Grandpa Qin looked at Lin Shijiao and rarely put away the smile on his face.
His words reflected the seriousness and earnestness of his lifetime in the army.
After hearing this, Jiang Ning finally understood.
Grandpa Qin did dote on Lin Shijiao, but he also knew that Lin Shijiao's personality was not suitable for being a soldier.
So from the very beginning, there was no thought of assigning her to the army.
After that, Lin Shijiao did all the things behind Grandpa Qin's back.
Hear this.
Grandma Qin gently patted the back of Jiang Ning's hand, as if telling her "don't worry".
Immediately following.
Jiang Ning heard the next sentence Grandpa Qin said.
"Jiaojiao, you should change your clothes."
Grandpa Qin was referring to the military uniform on Lin Shijiao. Since she was not a soldier, how could she wear such clothes?
While talking.
The smile disappeared from Grandpa Qin's wrinkled face, and it was filled with more seriousness.
This was also the first time that Lin Shijiao faced Grandpa Qin like this.
Strange and a little scary.
She choked in her throat and wanted to say stubbornly, "I won't leave! I'm going to stay here!" Even now, she didn't think that she had lost to Jiang Ning in any way. Why was Qin Jiulie willing to marry Jiang Ning but not choose her?
It’s obvious that they are childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
But all this anger and unwillingness became insignificant in the face of the crisis of losing Grandpa Qin's favor.
Lin Shijiao couldn't say anything willful, but she also couldn't say anything submissive.
There was a breath in my chest.
Sour and astringent.
The upwelling rushed into my eyes.
Lin Shijiao's eyes suddenly turned red, with tears welling up in them, and she looked like she was about to cry.
When Grandpa Qin saw it, he immediately became anxious.
"Jiaojiao, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry! Grandpa didn't mean that... Grandpa wasn't angry with you, why are you crying..."
The rough soldier had no way to deal with women's tears.
Grandpa Qin didn't know how to comfort Lin Shijiao, and subconsciously looked for Grandma Qin.
Just at this moment.
Grandma Qin lifted the curtain and walked over slowly.
"Hey, what happened? Why is Jiaojiao crying? Old man, are you angry with Jiaojiao?"
Grandma Qin's reaction was as if she hadn't heard anything just now.
As soon as Grandpa Qin heard Grandma Qin's accusation, he immediately began to explain nervously.
"How is that possible! You know I love Jiaojiao the most. I can lose my temper with anyone, but not with Jiaojiao! I just said she should change her clothes... We asked someone to buy new clothes from Shanghai. They have been at home for several months, waiting for Jiaojiao to wear them when she returns home!"
"Don't cry, don't cry! Grandma has seen that dress, too. It's prettier than a braided skirt. It's the most fashionable style in Shanghai this year, the same style worn by movie stars."
Lin Shijiao's eyes were wet. She sniffed and asked back.
"Really?"
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Of course it's true. It's just that you...haven't been eating well or sleeping well in the military camp recently? Grandma sees that you have lost weight, and I'm afraid your clothes won't fit you anymore."
Grandpa Qin continued, "I also think Jiaojiao has become thinner. Girls look better when they are a little fatter. After we go back, we will take good care of her and put some weight back on."
The two old people coaxed Lin Shijiao.
As they talked, the three of them walked out of the house.
Outside the courtyard was the black military vehicle that had been waiting for them.
When Jiang Ning overheard this, he completely understood Grandma Qin's intention.
The old couple came this time not only because they were afraid that Lin Shijiao would make trouble, but also because they came to take Lin Shijiao away.
Only in this way can Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie live a stable, harmonious and happy life.
Just thinking about it.
Jiang Ning heard footsteps behind her.
Looking back.
It turned out to be Qin Jiulie.
Jiang Ning looked surprised for a moment.
She originally thought that Qin Jiulie should have gone back to the barracks with the previous officers.
result……
Qin Jiulie took off his military jacket and was left wearing only a shirt.
The cuffs of the shirt were unbuttoned and the sleeves were folded up neatly inch by inch.
Revealing his strong and slender forearms.
There were wet drops of water on the slender and beautiful palms, and he was wiping his hands with a dry towel.
Jiang Ning saw Qin Jiulie's appearance.
Her eyes moved and she looked hurriedly into the small kitchen.
As expected...①
The dining table was cleaned, the stove was taken care of, and the washed dishes were neatly placed by the sink.
Everything is orderly, neat and standardized.
Qin Jiulie's meticulous military style is also reflected in the details.
