"Jiang Jiang, run slower and wait for me!..." Qi Yue's voice came from a distance.
Xiao Yihan and Chu Jingqiu looked at each other and smiled, then they walked out of the grove hand in hand.
Jiang Jiang ran over panting and sticking out her tongue, and Qi Yue jogged after her.
Xiao Yihan squatted down and gently stroked Jiang Jiang's little head.
"Brother, Grandpa He called just now and asked us to go back for dinner. Grandpa and grandma are also at my sister-in-law's house. Let's welcome her tonight." Qi Yue said breathlessly.
"Okay, let's set off immediately. They must be getting impatient, so they called to urge us." Xiao Yihan said with a smile.
"Yi Han, my pile of luggage is still on the truck, we have to pull it back!" Chu Jingqiu reminded hurriedly.
Xiao Yihan nodded, "I know, you will come to work in a few days.
You should leave your bicycle and some bedding in the dormitory when the time comes, so you don't need to take them back.
The other boxes, clothes, etc. can be put into the jeep and taken away."
Chu Jingqiu slapped his forehead. "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? I was thinking of pulling it all back and then using it to pull it back. What a stupid idea!"
"Let's go! Let's drive there!" Xiao Yihan said loudly.
The three men left their bedding, washbasins, kettles, bicycles and other belongings in the army.
He put the clothes and suitcases into the jeep and drove towards the compound with Jiang Jiang.
Qi Yue was driving the car, Xiao Yihan was sitting in the passenger seat, and Chu Jingqiu and Jiang Jiang were sitting in the back seat.
Jiang Jiang was wagging his tail happily in the back seat, and rubbing Chu Jingqiu's hand with his little head from time to time.
Qi Yue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I just took Jiang Jiang to watch those brats do push-ups.
While doing this, the guys asked, "Battalion Commander, is that female comrade a famous actress? Is she here to experience life in our army?"
"Captain, that girl is so pretty! I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. What's her name?"
Others asked, "Captain, could you take me to meet her? I'd be so proud if I could take a picture with her and send it back to show the young and old men in my village."
"Puchi, hahahaha...!" Chu Jingqiu couldn't help laughing when he heard him imitating accents from all over the country and describing it vividly.
"Qi Yue, what you said is so funny, how did you answer them?"
"Before I could even say anything, Captain Guo threatened them with a dark face, 'What actress? That's Captain Xiao's fiancée. Don't you think 100 push-ups is too few?'
If that living devil hears you talking about his fiancée, he will have to bear the consequences himself, considering how he dotes on his wife.'
As soon as Captain Guo finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, as if in death. Qi Yue said exaggeratedly.
Xiao Yihan glared at him and said, "Qi Yue, I don't believe that someone as serious as Captain Guo can say that I am the King of Hell. You added that last part yourself, right?
Is this the image of your brother in your mind? You are still a living hell, are you itching for trouble? "
Qi Yue said with a playful smile: "That's not what Captain Guo said originally, but the meaning is similar. He used more euphemistic words, and your words are similar to that.
Right! Sister-in-law, doesn’t my brother look scary, just like the King of Hell! "
Chu Jingqiu deliberately tilted his head, looked at Xiao Yihan, and said in a deliberately long tone: "Well, it is indeed a bit cold!"
Qi Yue was laughing secretly at the side, looking like he was enjoying the fun, and Xiao Yihan rolled his eyes at him.
"But I like him! I think your brother is great! Smart, handsome, and responsible.
You said he was like a living devil, but that's not a living devil, that's domineering, full of hormones, and that's what I like about him."
After hearing this, Xiao Yihan looked at Qi Yue triumphantly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The smile on Qi Yue's face froze. He pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, they are still a married couple. They haven't even gotten married yet, and they're already protecting each other. It seems that my hope of relying on my sister-in-law to turn things around has been dashed!"
The three of them laughed at the same time, and before they knew it, the car had arrived at the military compound.
After parking the car, Jiang Jiang ran in first, and Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue walked into the yard carrying suitcases.
"What time is it? You're finally back! Your Grandpa He and I have been to the door to pick you up eight times!" Grandpa Xiao's loud voice came out, and he and Grandpa He brought Jiang Jiang out to greet them.
"Hello, Grandpa Xiao!" Chu Jingqiu greeted Grandpa Xiao with a sweet smile.
"Haha...good...good...Xiaoqiu is back! Are you hungry? Come on, let's go inside and eat!" Old Master Xiao said with a smile that showed his teeth.
The group walked into the restaurant. The table was already filled with sumptuous dishes, and Grandma Xiao came over with another dish.
"Hello, Grandma Xiao!" Chu Jingqiu greeted her hurriedly.
Grandma Xiao put down the plate, wiped her hands on her apron, gently took Chu Jingqiu's hand, and looked him up and down, "Xiaoqiu is back! I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown taller again.
Oh my! This child is getting more and more beautiful, just like in the paintings. After looking at them, I still think my own child is the most beautiful. I dare say that our Xiaoqiu is the most beautiful girl in the whole compound!
Grandma He came over with a basin of soup, "Sister, just praise her! This girl has been conceited since she was a child, and you'll make her feel proud after a while."
After saying that, he instructed Chu Jingqiu, Xiao Yihan and the others, "Go wash your hands quickly, the dishes are ready, let's eat right away!"
After washing their hands, everyone sat around the table. Qi Yue took a look at the dishes on the table and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was braised rabbit meat, steamed fish, garlic chicken wings, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, mutton and radish soup, stir-fried choy sum, sea cucumber with scallions, and fried tofu meatballs..."
He rubbed his hands, swallowed, and looked very greedy.
"Wow... this is so rich! It seems that I came to the right place today and I'm in for a treat!" Qi Yue said with a smile.
Grandma He said with a smile: "The ingredients here were prepared by your Grandpa He. He even went to the farm in the suburbs to hunt some game. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Knowing that Xiaoqiu was coming back, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night last night."
He Manwen glanced at Chu Baichuan, "He's more than just my dad! Baichuan didn't sleep last night, and kept asking what time it was and why it wasn't even dawn yet! Manwen, what time do you think Xiaoqiu will be back at the earliest? Do I need to ask for leave from work?"
If Xiaoqiu doesn't see me when she comes back, will she be sad? "
I was so angry that I yelled at him, "Why are you asking for leave? You'll probably be off work by the time Xiaoqiu comes back. Can you please shut up? I have an operation tomorrow. If something goes wrong, will you be responsible?"
He finally calmed down, but he tossed and turned in bed like a pancake, and I ignored him.
Early in the morning, when I opened my eyes, someone had already run to Xiaoqiu's room to help her clean it up."
