Xiao Yihan smiled and nodded, "Xiaoqiu, you really have a sharp eye! You are right, this Taoist Qingxu is Ma Zhenshan, Qiao Rucheng's grandfather."
Chu Jingqiu opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Didn't Ma Zhenshan go to Taiwan? It turns out he hasn't left yet! Now we can finally comfort the heroic souls of those revolutionary martyrs."
Xiao Yihan said with a serious expression, "Xiaoqiu, although Ma Zhenshan has been apprehended, according to his confession, Qiao Rucheng is not only able to disguise himself, but his martial arts skills are even better than Diao Lijun's. Now that Qiao Rucheng has not been apprehended, we cannot let our guard down."
"Yi Han, what should we do now?" Chu Jingqiu asked.
Xiao Yihan pondered for a moment and then said, "The most important thing now is to intensify the pursuit of Qiao Rucheng. We must arrest him as soon as possible to prevent him from committing crimes and endangering society again."
Actually, I stayed here for another reason. I wanted to use myself as bait to trap him."
Chu Jingqiu's eyes were filled with worry when she heard this. She hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yihan's hand and said, "Yihan, I won't let you do this. It's too dangerous. What if Qiao Rucheng has a weapon? I'm afraid he...
Let me go! I don't think he wants to kill me yet. I'll be the bait, so it's less dangerous."
Xiao Yihan gently embraced Chu Jingqiu in his arms, "Xiaoqiu, I know you are worried about me, but I am a soldier and a man, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the lives and property of the people.
I will never allow you to put yourself in danger, and you are not allowed to argue with me about this matter." Xiao Yihan said firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Chu Jingqiu leaned her head on Xiao Yihan's strong chest, feeling his firm determination and deep concern. She knew that no matter how much she persuaded him, Xiao Yihan would not change his decision.
She could only say with concern: "Then you must be careful, I won't let you get hurt, do you hear me?" Xiao Yihan agreed with a smile.
"Captain, are you there? The meal is ready at home. Let's call everyone to come over for dinner!" Du Yueming's voice rang out in the yard.
Chu Jingqiu hurriedly left Xiao Yihan's arms and stood aside. Xiao Yihan looked at Chu Jingqiu and couldn't help but chuckle.
Chu Jingqiu rolled her eyes at him and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did your brother-in-law come over to call you for dinner?"
Xiao Yihan put on his military coat and said, "Du Yueming is getting married, and no one has had his wedding wine yet. Du Yueming is giving everyone a drink to make up for it!"
The two came out of the house and found Qi Yue and Jiang Jiang playing with a small ball. Tang Guoqing, Mei Aoxue and the others had already put on their clothes and were waiting in the yard. When they saw Xiao Yihan coming out, several of them hurriedly saluted, "Hello, Commander!"
Xiao Yihan returned the greeting, "We're not in the army, everyone, there's no need to be so restrained. Yueming is ready, let's go quickly!"
Zhang Pingping also walked out of the room with Shi Aihong and Lin Zishan, and they all walked towards Du Yueming's house together.
Du Yueming's house had already been set up with a table and chairs, with tea, candy and melon seeds on the table. The old branch secretary Du Jianguo was also sitting in the room. When he saw everyone coming, he hurriedly and warmly invited everyone to sit down.
Everyone sat down around the table. Zhang Pingping and Du Yueming's mother began to serve the dishes. Chu Jingqiu and the others also went over to help. Soon, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes and a soup.
Du Jianguo looked at everyone and said to them gratefully, "You are all Yueming's leaders and comrades. Yueming has been married for such a long time and yet she hasn't invited you to the wedding banquet.
I've invited everyone here today to congratulate Yueming and Pingping on their wedding, and also to thank you all for taking care of Yueming in the army. I'd like to offer a toast to everyone."
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses to toast Du Jianguo, and wished Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping a happy wedding! Chu Jingqiu and the others didn't drink, so they picked up the teacups in front of them and also wished the newlyweds a happy wedding.
Afterwards, everyone began to taste the food and chat with each other. Everyone felt very happy and relaxed.
Xiao Yihan skillfully picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the fish bones, and then gently placed it in Chu Jingqiu's bowl.
This was not the first time Qi Yue had seen Xiao Yihan doting on his wife. He ate the rice in his bowl calmly.
Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong secretly observed Chu Jingqiu's reaction. They smiled at each other, then lowered their heads and chuckled.
Tang Guoqing, Mei Aoxue and the other three looked at Xiao Yihan as if he were a monster. They couldn't believe that they could see such a tender side of Xiao Yihan. They were so shocked that they almost forgot to chew the food in their mouths.
Tang Guoqing said with a surprised smile: "Captain, it turns out you are also a henpecked man! You are so good to my sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yihan heard Tang Guoqing's words and replied with a smile: "It's not shameful to be afraid of your wife!" He paused and continued, "Being afraid of your wife is the most glorious thing. The highest level of loving your wife is to be afraid of her."
This sentence immediately caused everyone to laugh. Chu Jingqiu couldn't help but lower his head with a slight smile on his face.
Du Yueming was originally worried that others would make fun of him, but when he saw how the captain doted on his wife, he put his worries aside and happily picked up a piece of fish for Zhang Pingping.
However, as soon as Zhang Pingping smelled the fishy smell, she immediately covered her mouth and ran out to the yard to retch.
Du Yueming hurriedly ran out and asked with concern: "Pingping, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold and your stomach is upset?"
Du Yueming's mother seemed to have thought of something and asked with a smile: "Pingping, how long has it been since you had your little day?"
Zhang Pingping blushed and said sheepishly, "I don't think I've had sex since I got married. It's been almost two months."
Mother Du shouted happily: "I think Pingping is pregnant. Pingping is really doing well. This is a pregnancy!"
At this time, everyone in the room came out. When they heard what Du's mother said, they were all stunned.
Shi Aihong asked in confusion, "Auntie, what does it mean to sit on the bed and enjoy happiness?"
Mother Du was so happy that she had forgotten that these young ladies were not married yet. She explained loudly, "A happy marriage means that a couple conceived a child in their bridal chamber. This is double happiness, a great event!"
Shi Aihong blushed. Chu Jingqiu and Xiao Yihan looked at each other. Xiao Yihan touched Chu Jingqiu's hand enviously.
Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping's faces immediately turned red. After a while, Du Yueming finally realized what was happening and shouted happily, "Mom, are you serious? Is Pingping really pregnant? I'm going to be a father, haha..."
Seeing Du Yueming so excited, everyone couldn't help laughing. Zhang Pingping lowered her head shyly, "Yueming, don't be happy yet.
We haven't seen a doctor yet. I wonder if it's because I was nervous during my wedding. Once we see a doctor and confirm that we're pregnant, it won't be too late for you to be happy!
