Chapter 21: The Military Wife Who Wants To Be A Translator (5)

Qin Hongwu returned home after one day of training. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong and fragrant smell of chicken soup from the kitchen. A gentle and affectionate female voice in the recorder was singing softly:

Spring flowers bloom in autumn wind

And the sunset in winter

Melancholy young me

I thought so ignorantly

The windmill in the song of the four seasons

It flows every day

In the poem of romance

I'm growing every year

The story of the flowing water taking away time

Changed a person

It's just that sentimental and for the first time

The waiting youth

...

Qin Hongwu walked into the kitchen. An Nan was lowering her head while cutting vegetables while humming gently to the music in the tape recorder. She whispered a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. One foot was gently stomping on the ground with the rhythm of the song. Everything seemed so comfortable and peaceful. Her long black hair fell softly behind her back, shaking gently with the beat. The golden light of the sunset shot in from outside the window, letting her whole body bathe in a golden light...

An Nan was wearing a beige home dress with a close-fitting skirt that was long up to her ankles. Her slim and delicate body was outlined and shining by the golden sunset, like an elegant and noble goddess in Greek mythology.

Qin Hongwu looked at An Nan who seemed to have changed a different person over the past few months, and his heart was a little shaking. He for no reason. He covered his chest inexplicably, and his eyes that had always been indifferent and calm were staring at An Nan again.

If he hadn't watched her transform from a thin and shriveled country girl to this fair and beautiful woman with today, he would have thought An Nan had changed.

He didn't expect that after just a few months of recuperation, An Nan would be so outstanding. Others said that girls change their lives in age. This is true. When An Nan goes out now, no one would think that she was born in the countryside, but would think that she was a young and fashionable girl from a metropolis. There is no better person than her in the nearby villages.

The songs on the recorder continued to sing. An Nan was addicted to her own world and did not hear Qin Hongwu's footsteps. She only had to make dinner in her busy study plan. Therefore, she would listen to the pop songs at this time and sang them herself. After a long time, she thought it was good to listen to songs from this era. Although she could only listen to tapes, it was not as convenient as modern times, but it was also a different feeling.

"The Story of Time" finally ended, and An Nan finished cutting the vegetables. As soon as he looked up, he saw Qin Hongwu, so he casually said: "Dinner will be ready soon, and the last vegetables will be eaten after the fried food."

Qin Hongwu nodded, washed his hands consciously and took the dishes and chopsticks, and served chicken soup.

With a "wake up", the vegetables had already been put into the oil pan. An Nan stared at it intently and stir-fryed twice from time to time.

They cooked dishes and prepared before meals. The division of labor was clear and they cooperated tacitly, just like an ordinary couple who had been married for many years. But in fact, their relationship has not made any progress in the past few months. The two are still strangers under the same roof. They are polite and alienated, and if they talk more closely, there is also the relationship between the guests.

The two of them finished their supper in silence. Washing dishes was Qin Hongwu's responsibility, while An Nan took the time to take a shower. She had to translate a few short articles to practice in the evening.

After washing the dishes, Qin Hongwu returned to the living room and didn't see anyone. Then he couldn't help but look at the closed door of An Nan. He knew that An Nan was busy studying again, but he didn't expect that she could really hold on for so long... He was inexplicably a little depressed and didn't want to watch TV anymore. He took off his apron, took the cigarette on the table and went to the dormitory to find Zhou Ming, the battalion commander of the second battalion.

All the people living in the dormitory are small bachelors who have no home. The meals have been solved in the canteen long ago. They have nothing to do at night and chat and have fun together.

As soon as Qin Hongwu arrived at Zhou Ming, he saw a large group of people gathering together and looking down at something, laughing and hilarious.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Hongwu forced himself into the circle to see clearly.

"Zhou Ming's partner is writing to him! We are looking at the photo of his partner!" Chen Dafu, a non-commissioned officer in the third period, said with a smile.

"Oh! Commander Qin, why did you come here this night?" Zou Weishen, deputy commander of the Second Battalion, turned around and saw that it was Qin Hongwu, asked in surprise.

"Can't I come tonight?" Although Qin Hongwu was a little paralyzed and taciturn, he was still quite popular. He was very open to chatting with these comrades who were familiar with each other.

"You have a beautiful wife in your family who is not hugging me, but she actually came to find us bachelors? To be honest, where are you... no, right?" Zhou Ming said, looking at Qin Hongwu's lower three ways in suspicion, and shook his head with a tsk.

Seeing his inferior appearance, Qin Hongwu couldn't help but waved his fist and taught him a lesson: "Two moves to see who can't do it!" They were used to fighting each other, so Qin Hongwu couldn't let him mention An Nan's matter, so he "speaked" with his fists.

The two ended the conversation amid the noise of a group of people, and finally sat on the ground panting.

The few vain guys who had circulated Zhou Ming's photos said to Qin Hongwu in a big and small way:

"Hey, Brother Qin, although Zhou Ming's partner is pretty, he is not as beautiful as your sister-in-law An! Sister An looks so beautiful. She looks like a star on TV and can speak those English that she can't understand! Brother Qin, what kind of virtue did you accumulate in your previous life to marry such a good wife?"

"That's it! Brother Qin, you are so lucky. When my sister-in-law first came, she looked thin and black. Unexpectedly, she had to eat and drink well for a few months and became like that... that lotus..." A bachelor who was extremely envious of Qin Hongwu.

"It's a lotus from the water!"

"Yes! That's the word!"

"Brother Qin, do you have any sisters or something? Let me introduce it!" This is a bachelor who is anxious about his wife.

"Bah! Even if you want to introduce it, you will introduce it to me? You can't see people when you turn black. How can you be worthy of someone who is so beautiful and beautiful?!" Another bachelor who was unwilling to fall behind and even made personal attacks on his comrades, for fear that Qin Hongwu would really introduce his sister-in-law to others.

"Why am I not worthy? Although I am a little bit black, I am also a handsome man..." The bachelor who is eager to get married is not to be outdone.

Seeing that these people were already in Xiao Yao's sister-in-law who he didn't know whether he existed, Qin Hongwu couldn't help but turn a blind eye. Can he tell everyone that he is not close to the beautiful and talented sister-in-law they mentioned, and don't even know whether she has a sister or not? If these bachelors know, they will definitely think that they are wasting their natural resources. It is really unreasonable that they are not close to their daughter-in-law!
