Qin Huai thought it was too much. "I don't need this many. How am I supposed to wear them all?"
"Yes, bring two extra sets. That way, if you're too tired to wash during training, you can save them for a couple of days before washing them."
Seeing that Qiao Qiqi had paid and given the ticket, Qin Huai glanced at her hand and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that she still had money.
When Qiao Qiqi looked up, she saw his expression and realized that he was worried about the money. She immediately smiled and said, "I have money. The old lady gave me a full 1,000 yuan before, and I have a lot of money in addition to that. I can't spend it all."
Qin Huai knew that she was smart and good at making money. He heard from Fang Ke that she had even written articles and published them, earning a lot of royalties.
At that moment, Qin Huai realized that his wife was truly amazing!
After buying the necessities, Qiao Qiqi didn't leave. She continued walking forward, pulling Qin Huai along, to see if she had forgotten anything. Soon, she actually spotted something—
Razor blades.
Realizing she had forgotten something so important, Qiao Qiqi immediately picked one.
"I already brought some, there's no need to buy new ones," Qin Huai said again, trying to stop him.
But Qiao Qiqi said, "You've been using that one for a long time. I see the buckle is loose, and you have to press it down with your hand every time. It's a good opportunity to replace it."
Qin Huai was surprised that she had noticed this, and immediately felt a warm feeling in her heart.
After paying, the two continued walking.
Qiao Qiqi, afraid that Qin Huai would worry, said as they walked, "Once you get to the army, just focus on your training. Don't worry about me and our parents. I will take good care of them."
With Qiao Qiqi around, Qin Huai was naturally at ease; he was just worried that she would be too tired on her own.
Suddenly remembering something, Qin Huai pulled out 400 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Qiao Qiqi's hand. "This is the money Zhang Qing and I made from hunting in the mountains while you were away. It was originally 500 yuan, but I left the other 100 yuan for my parents. I won't need the money after I get to the army. You can keep all of this. When I receive my allowance in the army, I will send it all back. Don't be stingy with your food at home."
Qiao Qiqi saw that Qin Huai had earned 500 in the month she had been gone. Judging from this amount, he probably hadn't had a moment's rest every night.
A pang of heartache welled up inside her, but Qiao Qiqi still smiled and said, "When have I ever hesitated to eat it? Don't worry."
After Qin Huai decided to live with Qiao Qiqi, she became very particular about food, cooking a variety of dishes every day to make sure she didn't skimp on herself, which put Qin Huai at ease.
“It’s not safe for you to live alone at home after I leave. Why don’t you go back to your parents’ house? Also, the west room of the Qiao family’s house is dilapidated. It definitely won’t hold up if there’s a heavy snowfall this winter. Now that we have money, you can either renovate the house for your parents or tear it down and rebuild it!”
Unbeknownst to them, the two seemed to have switched places, with Qin Huai becoming the one who kept nagging.
Qiao Qiqi felt a warmth in her heart. Seeing that Qin Huai had the same idea as her, she immediately said, "Your parents' house is also very old. I see that there are cracks in the house. Since you want to build a new one, let's build it together!"
Qin Huai smiled and said, "Okay, you can decide."
The two of them think in the same direction and work together, discussing things together when they encounter problems. Qiao Qiqi especially likes this way of life.
The next few days were spent waiting for the list to be released.
In order to make money as quickly as possible, Qiao Qiqi went out to deliver goods again the next day.
Qin Huai stayed home with his grandmother and didn't go with them.
These days, Qiao Qiqi has been constantly bringing fruit to the old lady, and most of the water she drinks has been replaced with spiritual spring water. With double the nourishment, the old lady's body is full of vitality and she looks much better than before. She doesn't even need Zhou Sao's help to walk anymore.
Even Aunt Zhou was surprised, "Your back looks much straighter than before. It's true that good things come to those who are happy. Chenchen and Xinxin are back, and Young Master Qinhuai is back too. Your worries are gone, and your whole demeanor is different."
The old lady didn't know it was Qiao Qiqi's doing, but she could clearly feel that she felt much better than before. "Being able to see so many grandchildren around me before I die, I have no regrets even if I die."
"Pah, pah, pah! Why are you saying this on such a good day? You'll definitely live to be a hundred!" Aunt Zhou didn't like hearing that.
The old lady was just venting casually. She used to think that she had lived to be over 80 years old, which was enough. Now that she sees so many grandchildren, she really doesn't want to die.
"Then I'll try my best to live to 100 and spend a few more years with these little guys."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "That's the right way to think."
Five days later, the list of those who enlisted was released.
Early in the morning, Qiao Qiqi dragged Qin Huai to see it. When the two of them were there, the list of successful candidates had not yet been posted.
Qiao Qiqi originally wanted to arrive early to secure a good spot at the front, but when she got there, she discovered that everyone else had arrived even earlier and had taken up all the front spots, making it impossible to squeeze in.
Left with no other option, the two could only stand behind.
About half an hour later, the person in charge of posting the notices came over and put up three bright red notices in front of the notices.
Qiao Qiqi pushed forward with all her might, and taking advantage of her petite figure, she actually managed to squeeze to the very front.
I looked through all the densely packed names on the first red list, but Qin Huai's name wasn't among them.
Qiao Qiqi immediately moved to the second sheet and went through it all again from top to bottom, but Qin Huai's name was still not there.
Qiao Qiqi, unwilling to give up, immediately rushed to the third red list and finally saw Qin Huai's name in the middle: "Got it! Qin Huai, you've been selected!"
Qiao Qiqi immediately turned around, only to find that the person behind her had an unfamiliar face. She then realized that she hadn't heard Qin Huai's voice for a long time. She stood on tiptoe and looked back, just in time to see a man with an anxious expression behind the crowd.
Seeing that Qin Huai hadn't squeezed in at all, Qiao Qiqi immediately pushed her way through the crowd, opened her arms, and excitedly threw herself into Qin Huai's arms, "You're on the list! You were chosen!"
Qin Huai had already heard it.
The chattering crowd couldn't drown out her shouts.
At that moment, everyone around was celebrating their admissions and hugging their families, so Qiao Qiqi's hug didn't attract much attention.
The two of them held hands and ran home quickly to tell their families the good news.
Xin Xin smiled sweetly, "Brother Huai is going to join the army too, just like Brother Bao Guo, wearing a military uniform! So handsome!"
The word "handsome" was recently taught to Xin Xin by Qiao Qiqi, and Xin Xin remembered it well.
Chenchen was also inspired at this moment, and suddenly stood up and said, "When I grow up, I want to join the army like Brother Qinhuai and Brother Baoguo and serve my country!"
*Smack*
The old lady suddenly put her teacup on the table.
