Chapter 292 Dagger
Zhou Fengzhi was suspicious and worried about Jiang Yanqing who was still in the box. She did not try to comfort Zhou Mei anymore. She just said in a cold tone, "Xiaomei, you should go back today!"
Zhou Mei was very sensitive and immediately noticed the change in Zhou Fengzhi's attitude. Her heart tightened and she raised her head nervously and said, "Aunt, I'll go back first. I really didn't mean it."
Seeing Zhou Fengzhi's expression ease a little, Zhou Mei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that being more sensible was the right thing to do.
She comforted herself in her heart that there was still a long time to come and she would not give up easily.
Seeing Zhou Mei leave with grievance, Zhou Fengzhi felt a little bit sorry for her, wondering if she was overthinking it. Xiaomei grew up under her care and she has always been simple and lively. She should welcome Xiaoqing back.
Zhou Fengzhi returned to the box and sat back next to Jiang Yanqing. She patted her hand and said gently, "Xiaoqing, your cousin didn't mean it. Let's be happy today. Don't take this to heart."
Jiang Yanqing nodded, but her words were not very generous. "She doesn't bother me, so I naturally don't have the time to bother with her. Don't worry, Mom."
After hearing this, Zhou Fengzhi knew that Zhou Mei had not performed well today, so she didn't say anything more.
When the dishes were almost served, Qin Zhen rushed over, exhausted, with sweat dripping down his chin. As soon as he came in, he walked to Jiang Yanqing and greeted Old Man Qin first.
Then he touched Jiang Yanqing's head. Jiang Yanqing didn't expect Qin Zhen to come here. She knew that he had a lot of things to do in the army, but she was still very happy that he could come.
"Dad, why are you here?" Jiang Yanqing turned her head slightly and looked at Qin Zhen with sparkling eyes.
Qin Zhen felt his heart soften and sat down in another empty seat next to Jiang Yanqing. He took out a brown leather case and handed it to her, saying, "I have to come to my daughter's welcoming party!"
Jiang Yanqing took the leather case and opened it. It turned out to be a military dagger. It didn't look special from the outside. After all, Jiang Yanqing had no knowledge of this.
Just holding it in the hand, it felt very heavy. Jiang Yanqing pulled out the blade, which was shining silver. Just by looking at it, you could tell that it was extremely sharp.
Qin Zhen explained, "Leave it for you to use for self-defense."
Although he said it simply, Jiang Yanqing knew that the thing that Qin Zhen could give out was definitely not an ordinary military dagger.
In fact, this dagger is indeed very unusual. Its original name is Ka-Bar. It is a commercial knife that entered service with the U.S. Marine Corps in November 1942. It is made of 1095 high-carbon steel and has a phosphate-treated surface.
Before it became famous, a hunter, having run out of bullets, survived a fight with a bear using a high-quality hunting knife made by its manufacturer, Union Razor Co.
From then on, Ka-Bar became widely known.
This knife can be used for both cutting and stabbing, and is versatile and easy to use. It has been used to this day and even longer.
Aunt Qin said somewhat disapprovingly, "Brother, it's dangerous for you to give a knife to a young girl."
Old Man Qin glanced at the knife in Jiang Yanqing's hand and thought to himself, he is quite willing to spend so much money. This knife is perfect for self-defense.
Qin Hua tugged at his wife and said disapprovingly, "Xiao Liu is a girl who runs a business, so it's good for her to carry something for self-defense when she's out."
Aunt Qin thought about it and realized that if she really met someone with bad intentions, it would be better to hurt others than to get hurt herself!
Except for Qin Tingyuan who was out of town, everyone else was present and the welcoming banquet officially began.
After finishing the meal, the Qin family returned to the military compound. Qin Zhen left directly from the restaurant entrance as he had other things to do in the army.
The excitement lasted until the evening, when Qin Hua's family of four left the military compound.
Qin Hua works in the district government, which is a bit far from here, so after the unit allocated him a house, he moved there with his wife and children, but he also comes back often.
After everyone left, Jiang Yanqing sat on the sofa and had just taken a sip of water when there was a knock on the Qin family's door. Qin Chen hurried over to open the door. There was a young soldier standing guard at the door.
"Fifth brother, this is your package. I'm delivering it."
Qin Chen glanced at the package in the soldier's hand and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"It seems to be the Shenzhen market. I came here when it was delivered this morning. No one was home. I just changed shifts and came here again."
When Qin Chen heard the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, he guessed that Fang Mingxiao had sent something over to appease his silly sister.
He took the things, thanked them, and waited until everyone left before turning back into the house and throwing the package into Jiang Yanqing's arms. "Xiaoqing, that guy is really amazing. He went so far and still knew how to make you happy."
Jiang Yanqing raised his chin and said with a smug look on his face, "Of course not. At least he treats me better than you, Fifth Brother."
Qin Chen sat down next to Jiang Yanqing, raised his hand and knocked on her head, and said unhappily, "You little heartless thing, why is Fifth Brother treating you badly?"
