Chapter 49: Bragging



Zhang Xiaoqin's voice arrived before he even showed up.

The three children tensed up when they saw her.

Qian Xiaolan glanced at her and continued to eat her food.

"You are such fools. You only eat her food, but why do you have to collect firewood for her? You are so young, how can you do such heavy work?"

Zhang Xiaoqin shrugged his nose and cursed, but in his heart he kept saying "It smells so good", "It smells so good", "I really want to have a few bites".

Seeing that her eyes were fixed on her bowl of noodles, Qian Xiaolan deliberately made a loud slurp.

Chenggong saw Zhang Xiaoqin swallowing his saliva quietly, she laughed and took the bowl back to the kitchen.

"What's so great about that? You really don't know any rules at all."

Zhang Xiaoqin was very dissatisfied because he didn't get a single bite of noodles. He turned around and yelled at the three children:

"Aren't you going home yet? Do you want someone to give you dinner or something?"

Gao Changzheng made a face at her, turned around and ran away.

Gao Hongjun also glared at her, then took his sister's hand and followed closely behind.

Zhang Xiaoqin was so angry that he almost died.

She wanted to scold Qian Xiaolan a few more times, but she was afraid that she would really go to her boss to complain, which would anger her husband, and she would have no choice but to return to the countryside to live a hard life.

Back at the military camp, Gu Yanqing returned to the army today, and after he came out to see his leader, he received a lot of attention.

Everyone knew that he was injured during a mission and went home to recuperate, but no one expected that he would bring his wife to join the army.

So, apart from being concerned about his physical recovery, everyone just teased him.

Gu Yanqing responded to all the questions without changing his expression. He only mentioned the health issue in one sentence, and the rest of his words were all praising his wife.

for example:

"My injury healed so quickly, thanks to my wife, who studied medicine and massaged my body acupuncture points every day."

"My wife's cooking is really delicious. Have you noticed that I've gained some weight? It's all because of my wife's good care of me."

"Do you see this watch on my hand? This is what my wife bought for me."

Everyone: “!!!”

"And my clothes..."

Everyone finally found a chance to interrupt him: "You're wearing a military uniform, you're exaggerating."

Unfortunately, before they could show their smiles, Gu Yanqing curled his lips and smiled, and continued:

"My clothes had many holes during the mission, but my wife, with her skillful hands, patched them up so that there is no trace of any holes."

The crowd didn't believe it, so they gathered around and touched it, and sure enough, they found many traces of stitching.

This time, they were really convinced.

My curiosity about Qian Xiaolan also reached its peak.

After bragging about his wife, Gu Yanqing tried a few simple exercises, but felt powerless, so he went to the military hospital for a check-up.

By the time he finished his inspection and dealt with some of the piled-up items, it was very late when he got home.

His current health condition does not allow him to go on missions, so he can go home at night to spend time with his wife. Once his health recovers, he will not be able to come back every day.

As he walked to the door of his house, countless tempting aromas rushed into his nostrils, relieving his fatigue of the day.

Qian Xiaolan guessed that it was his first day back in the team and he would be back late, so she prepared dinner a little late tonight.

It was just at this moment that she had just put all the dishes on the table and they were already home.

"You're back! Wash your hands and eat!"

Gu Yanqing responded with a smile, washed his hands by the well before entering the house.

"Wow, my wife had a good harvest today. She made such a sumptuous dinner."

Qian Xiaolan raised her eyebrows proudly: "I am possessed by a koi fish, so my luck must be good."

"Abalone in sauce, braised flounder, stir-fried octopus, sweet and sour hairtail, blanched cat-eye snails, fish head tofu soup... My wife is really capable. I am so lucky to marry you."

As soon as Gu Yanqing sat down, he began to praise Qian Xiaolan heavily, which made Qian Xiaolan's mouth corners raise high.

After the two of them had eaten their fill, there was still a lot of food left on the table.

Qian Xiaolan was upset:

"Why can't I have two stomachs?"

Gu Yanqing laughed: "I know you like to eat seafood, but you can't eat too much, otherwise you will get gout, what should I do?"

Qian Xiaolan sighed: "Well, even after being reborn, I still can't eat and drink as much as I want."

"Nothing in excess, are you going to pour these out or save them for tomorrow?"

Gu Yanqing picked up the leftovers and looked at Qian Xiaolan hesitantly.

"Of course I'm saving it for tomorrow. Things are different now than they were before."

These days everyone is hungry and cold, so how can we waste it?

Gu Yanqing naturally knew about this. He had been used to eating leftover meals for so many years. But just at that moment, he thought of the past.

They had eaten too much for dinner, so after cleaning up, they went out together to digest the food.

When passing by next door, Qian Xiaolan heard Zhang Xiaoqin's scolding and the girl's crying, and sighed:

"Is Captain Gao not coming back tonight? His three children came to our house at noon. They were so skinny that they looked like humans. I made some noodles for them to eat.

They were very sensible. After eating, they thanked me and said that they did not eat my food for free and would collect firewood for me tomorrow.

Gu Yanqing glanced at the gate of Captain Gao's house and said softly:

"Lao Gao originally wanted to divorce, but this time he should be able to move forward. Everyone advised him to be patient and deal with that woman after the incident is over."

So, Qian Xiaolan said nothing more.

The weather in South Province is warm, so there are many people sitting outside chatting.

Seeing Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing's good looks, everyone looked at them curiously.

One morning, an auntie who was fishing near Qian Xiaolan recognized her, pointed at her and smiled:

"Hey, isn't this the clever young wife from this morning?

Hahaha, you haven't seen what she looks like. Not only does she have sharp eyes, she's also quick and agile.

We didn't see anything yet, when we felt a figure flying past us, and then she held the fish in her hands."

Qian Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she thought of her behavior in the morning, like a person who had been hungry for three days and suddenly saw meat.

The aunt was still laughing: "Haha, don't be shy, little wife, I have no ill intentions, I just think you look like me when I was young, hahahaha"

As she spoke, she laughed again, and someone next to her echoed: "Yes, yes, don't mind it, young wife. This old woman thinks it's so funny because she sees her former appearance."

What could Qian Xiaolan say? She could only smile awkwardly and quickly pull Gu Yanqing away.

Gu Yanqing teased her, "Did you really say that to that auntie? You can fly?"

Qian Xiaolan was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him.

"Ah, Shitou, Shitou, Shitou, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Shitou?"

As they were laughing and joking, they suddenly heard a shrill cry. They looked at each other and quickly ran in the direction where the sound came from.

In an open space not far away, a group of people gathered there, and in the middle was a woman holding a child and crying.

Qian Xiaolan pushed through the crowd and ran in.

"I'm a doctor. What happened to the child?"

When she heard the doctor's call, the woman grabbed Qian Xiaolan's wrist tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Doctor, doctor, please save my Shitou. He is in great pain. Please save him!"
