However, the guard battalion has very high requirements for the comprehensive qualities of its soldiers, and not everyone can come if they want to. The fact that Zhang Jingshan was able to join shows that he has passed all aspects of the assessment.
"By the way, didn't your leader go to the lower levels to offer condolences? Why did he send you here?" An Hua asked.
Xiao Chen got up early in the morning. He was busiest during the holidays as he had to visit various grassroots units to comfort them and ease the homesickness of the grassroots soldiers.
Zhang Jingshan replied: "The chief gave instructions this morning, saying that my sister-in-law wants to take her family to the Lantern Festival. If she hasn't returned by dark, I will come and pick her up."
Qiu Shushen smiled and nodded, "My son-in-law is missing you, thank you for your help, comrade."
Zhang Jingshan chuckled, "No need to bother."
Considering the safety issue after dark, An Hua also planned to take the children back home. However, since Zhang Jingshan came and the children didn't have enough fun, she took everyone to play for a while and went home at nine o'clock.
Geng Biao sent them to the gate of the family compound. When he said goodbye, he kept his eyes on Xiao Fangfang without moving.
An Hua jokingly nudged Xiao Fangfang's arm and said, "The relationship is heating up very quickly. His eyes are glued to you and you can't dig them out."
Xiao Fangfang looked back at Geng Biao who was standing in the dark with shy and timid eyes.
She motioned to Geng Biao to wait a moment, then hurried into the house and came out after a while with a flashlight in her hand.
He handed the flashlight to Geng Biao.
After she came back, she realized that everyone in her family was staring at her.
Dong Dong even asked directly: "Aunt, is he my future uncle?"
Xiao Fangfang blushed, lowered her head, turned away and hid away.
The relationship between Xiao Fangfang and Geng Biao developed faster than expected. Not long after the Chinese New Year, Geng Biao came to visit her with gifts.
Xiao Qi had heard of Geng Biao a long time ago. An Hua kept talking about Geng Biao's good points in his ear, but Xiao Qi was reserved.
A person who can be praised by his wife must be no simple person.
So when he saw Geng Biao, Xiao Yu had a serious face and a look of scrutiny.
Although the two are about the same age, Xiao Qi is in a high position after all, and he is very imposing when he is serious. Moreover, Xiao Chen is Xiao Fangfang's brother, which makes Geng Biao even more nervous.
"Sit down." Xiao Yu finally spoke and took the lead in sitting on the sofa.
Geng Biao was nervous in his heart, but he remained calm and sat down.
"In which battle did you injure your ear?"
Geng Biao answered.
Xiao Yu nodded, "How is your life and work after the demobilization?"
"All good." After a pause, Geng Biao said, "All we need is a wife."
Xiao Yu: "...Fangfang can't speak. You two must be different from ordinary people in your communication. It's okay for a while, but it will definitely affect your life over time. Have you considered this issue?"
Geng Biao sat up straighter. "I've thought about it, but I don't think it's a big problem. Language is not the only way to express oneself. Sometimes the expression of the heart is more sincere and reliable than words."
Xiao Xiao snorted, "You look honest and simple, but you are quite good at speaking nice words."
Geng Biao was a little at a loss. Was this just nice talk? But that's what he thought in his heart! I wonder if Fangfang's brother thinks he's a liar?
"Brother, I think..."
Xiao Chen interrupted him: "Who told you to call me brother? You two haven't done anything yet."
Geng Biao immediately changed his tone, "Commander, I know that Fangfang is kind and considerate, and she is so young and beautiful. I am too high to be with her. I won't say those words that promise to treat her well in the future. Those are all empty words! I will just say this: if Fangfang is wronged by me in the future, you can come and beat me up at any time, and I will never fight back!"
