Chapter 172 Welcome to 1971 (2/3)



They will naturally notify Qi Jingyan.

Sure enough, about forty minutes later, there was a knock on Si Yang and Qiu Xia's door.

Si Yang went over and opened the door. The man outside was covered in snow and was in such a hurry to get on the road that he barely even caught his breath.

"I'm Qi Jingyan, I'm here to pick up my son."

Si Yang took a step back and let him in.

Only then did Qi Jingyan realize that the woman holding Mumu was Qiu Xia.

What was quite different from what he had imagined was that Mumu not only did not cry for his father, but had already fallen asleep quietly in Qiu Xia's arms.

"Brigade Commander Qi, Mumu just fell asleep and his pants are wet. I've dried them for him. Let's put them on before we go." After saying this, Qiu Xia put the freshly dried pants and socks back on Mumu.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, not like it was her first time taking care of a child.

The little guy didn't wake up until Mumu was dressed again.

"Okay." Qiu Xia stood up and handed the warm Mu Mu to Qi Jingyan.

"Thank you." Qi Jingyan took the sleeping child and thanked him sincerely.

"It's my duty." Qiu Xia smiled.

"Then I'll leave. I'll come to thank you another day." Qi Jingyan turned and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, it's very cold outside, and sleeping children are more afraid of the cold. Take this cotton coat and wrap him up." Qiu Xia chased after him and wrapped Mumu tightly with the cotton coat she had used before.

Qi Jingyan looked at the attentive Qiu Xia, his unclear eyes hidden in the shadows of the aisle.

"Thank you. I'm leaving now."

"Um."

Qiu Xia sent the father and son out the door, came back and closed the door, and then Si Yang, who had chosen to automatically become invisible, stood up.

"Hey, why do I smell an unusual scent?" Si Yang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Xia was confused.

"I feel like you and Brigadier General Qi are like a family." Si Yang said bluntly.

Qiu Xia was nearly frightened to death. "Don't joke about this kind of thing. He's the brigade commander. I'm scared just by looking at him, so how can I dare to think about anything else?"

"So what kind of person do you want to find in the future?" Si Yang asked with a smile as he sat down by the stove.

Qiu Xia's cheeks flushed. "I don't want to find someone anymore. It's fine to live alone like this."

"I'll give you a suggestion. If possible, try not to find a man who is too ugly." Si Yang said casually.

"Why?" Qiu Xia obviously disagreed.

"Because a man can't love you forever, but he can always be ugly."

Qiu Xia choked and was speechless.

Si Yang handed her a piece of chestnut pastry, and then got down to business. "I saw you make a lot of clothes before. Do you know how to use a sewing machine?"

"Yes, I learned it during the two years I lived with his parents at Qu's house. I'm quite skilled at it." Qiu Xia's mood suddenly turned bad when she thought of Qu Mingjun.

Si Yang patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry! I've already arranged a 'New Year's surprise' for Qu and Zhao. When the time comes, I'll make them suffer the consequences."

"Si Yang, thank you for always helping me, but please don't make mistakes for me. What if Captain Pei gets implicated?" Qiu Xia looked nervous.

"Don't worry, it's not me who made the mistake, it's them..."
