Long years (152)

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, so the hug lasted a little long.

Feeling the eyes of those around them, the two of them separated. Strictly pulled Qingning: "The car is outside."

When I got to the car, I opened the thermos cup and said, "Drink some."

There was ginger jujube tea inside. Qingning raised her eyebrows. Her period had always been accurate, and today was the first day. Her stomach didn't hurt, but her back hurt after sitting for a long time.

Who knew you would have such attentive service as soon as you get off the plane?

She took it and looked at him with a half-smile: "You do take it seriously."

Yan Yan leaned over to fasten her seat belt, ignored her words, and asked her: "Shall I take you home?"

Qingning looked at him sideways: "I will follow your arrangement."

Strictly coughed lightly: "It's still early now. My uncles and aunts are all at work, and Qingyuan is also in class. I'm still home alone when I go back..."

Qingning responded with 'hmm' and 'hmm', nodded, drank half a cup of ginger tea, then screwed on the lid and looked at him.

He didn't say anything and just stared at the road, but he drove to his house.

He only lives here occasionally, and the house came here at six or seven today to be tidied up.

It looks very neat.

However, this kind of neatness makes Qing Ning look like she has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything is placed in an angular manner.

"...Can I take a hot bath?" Strictly speaking, it was inconvenient for her during her period, but I felt like she wouldn't be able to bear it if she didn't take a bath.

"I take a shower."

Hot water poured on his body, and his whole body relaxed. It was already late autumn, and it was not the time to turn on the heating. But the room didn't feel cold. It was probably because he kept the air conditioner on when he went out.

To feel comfortable when you come back.

After taking a shower and drying his hair, he had already washed out his dirty underwear.

She leaned against the door and looked at him: "Strict!" she shouted.

Strictly speaking, the clothes should be hung closer to the air conditioner. He turned to look at her. She was wearing his old shirt and her feet were bare on the ground. He got up and went to the shoe cabinet, took out the furry slippers and placed them at her feet: "

Don’t you know you can’t catch cold?”

Qingning mumbled and put on her slippers. Seeing Yan Yan go to the bedroom, she followed him.

He adjusted the electric mattress to a constant temperature and said, "Take a nap and you'll be ready to eat when you wake up."

After saying anything, she stuffed her into the quilt and turned around to go out. She clearly saw his rolling Adam's apple and his eyes... She never dared to dwell too much on her body.

It was warm in bed, and there was a familiar smell on the quilt.

The smell of clean sunshine.

The pain in her body gradually dissipated with the warmth. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open but could not fall asleep.

She thought: Apart from her parents, who else in the world could make her lie here so peacefully, and be able to empty her mind and think about nothing?

Not even in Qingyuan. When he goes to the kitchen, you have to worry about whether he will get burned. It's fine to take care of him yourself, but being taken care of by him in turn? You probably can't be so safe.

But it was different here. No matter when she came back, she would believe that he was there. Lying here, she didn't have to worry about whether it was wind or rain outside. Leave all the things outside to him, and she wouldn't have to bear any burden.

She could lie here peacefully and enjoy everything he gave her with peace of mind.

Thinking like this makes my nose feel sour.

In fact, as time goes by, the relationship between the two of them has changed unconsciously. In the past, she always looked after him. But now, she naturally accepts when he 'gives orders'.

When Yan Yan came in and asked her to get up for dinner, he saw that she wasn't sleeping at all, she just kept her eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed: "What's wrong? Did you not do your job well?"

Qing Ning looked at him and stared at his chin, "Come here, there is something on your chin..."

Yan Yan touched his chin and looked at his hands again, but there was nothing there. Then he lowered his head and asked her to take a look.

Qing Ning raised her hand and touched Strictly's chin: "...It's so ugly...Where do you get so many beards..."

There is green stubble on the chin. Even if it is clean shaven, it feels prickly. I miss that pink and shy boy!

Yan Yan's mouth was dry from being touched, but he didn't push her hand away. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble!"

Qingning chuckled: "Just to see if your beard pricks people."

Strictly looked at her carefully, then lowered his head and rubbed her face and neck with his chin, which made Qingning laugh even more: "I won't make trouble anymore...I really won't make trouble anymore..."

"Is it hurting?" Strictly placed his chin on her shoulder, "Do you still want to watch?"

"No more." She quickly shook her head: "Don't you want to eat? I'm going to get up."

There was a smile in Yan Yan's voice, and she said softly. He could feel that he was pressed against her body, and they could feel each other's body temperature, but she just held his neck like that, naturally. Instead of trying.

Push him away.

She accepted him. Her body responded more faithfully than her mouth.

He didn't get up in a hurry and just lay down next to her: "I have something to discuss with you."

She naturally adjusted her sleeping position. When his arms were spread out and placed on top of her head, she pulled them over and put them under her head. After lying on the pillow, she found a comfortable position and nestled in his arms: "You said

…”

"There may be some adjustments to my work." As soon as he said this, he clearly felt her body stiffen for a moment, so he quickly said: "It's not going to other military regions... this time it's the General Staff Information Department. What do you think?

Sample?"

Qing Ning touched his arm and asked: "What do you like? Do you like to work in an agency or join the army?"

Strictly speaking: "I like you!"

After saying that, both of them were stunned, Yan Yan quickly said: "The work is the same everywhere. My major... plays a greater role at the headquarters..."

Qingning turned over and lay on his chest, but she knew in her heart that he actually made sacrifices for the future of the two of them. After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. But even if he becomes a general, a general without a soldier is

, how can he be called a true general?

Her heart felt sour and soft: "You have to tell my dad about this."

Strictly raised his head to look at her: Did she mean what he meant?

But Qingning sat up all of a sudden, "I'm starving, I'm starving! Eat quickly."

Strictly grinning.

When I sent Qing Ning home in the evening, her lips were still grinning.

Qing Ning reminded him: "Be restrained. Is it so easy for my dad to go through that test?"

My daughter is back. Lin Yutong came back early and cooked a large table of dishes by himself. The fourth master also postponed the entertainment and got home early. At half past six, his daughter came back.

As soon as the person came back, there was a commotion in the house, chattering, and talking about things at home that were not covered by the confidentiality regulations.

After eating, Yan Yan tried not to make himself nervous and said to Fourth Master: "Uncle Jin, there is something I want to ask your opinion on."

Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then got up and went upstairs: "Follow..."

As soon as he sat down, Yan Yan said: "A few elders suggested that I go to the General Assembly to practice, but I'm a little undecided."

The Fourth Master took a serious look at Strictly, and saw that this boy knew how to work hard. He squeezed his way to the headquarters without making a sound.

In that place, there are either really talented people or a really big background. But just having a background is not enough. The prerequisite is that you have hard power. Strictly speaking, going to the General Staff is a curious step. Although there is the Qiao family behind him

He has a background in the military to support him, but the Qiao family is far away from him. And now it seems that the Qiao family is no longer the original Qiao family. Therefore, he needs his own network of contacts. The general staff is a good person

It's a place with a high starting point and a wide network of contacts. After a few years of immersion in it, and then working at the grassroots level, it will be a completely different situation.

The fourth master nodded: "This idea is feasible." Then his heart moved. Seeing that the boy was hesitant to speak, he asked again, "Have you asked Qingning for his opinion?"

Yan Yan's eyes lit up: "Qing Ning didn't say anything, I just wanted to ask for your opinion."

The fourth master felt a sense of relief in his heart, "Don't be anxious, you should go, but what kind of department and what kind of position are equally important. I'm relieved about this, so don't go back and forth. Wait until the results come out.

,I tell you."

Strictly stood up quickly and came out.

Fourth Master picked up the photo on the desk. This photo was taken when he brought Qingning to the capital for the first time. How old was this girl at that time? But now she is getting married.

Just now, I was talking about work with that guy Yan Yan, not work.

Why was Yan Yan so anxious to come to the General Staff? It was between him and Qing Ning. Someone had to take a step back. There is no home without guarding it. And he chose to give in.

But his choice to give in was very wise. Now he seems to have taken a step back, but he will be able to take a big step forward in the future.

I do this just to start a family.

For the sake of starting a family, there is nothing to worry about.

Qingning didn't object, but he didn't agree directly either. Instead, he asked what he meant.

This obviously means respecting her parents: if her father agrees to her marriage, she will get married. If she feels that the time has not come yet and all the conditions have yet to be considered, then there is no rush to get married.

He told Lin Yutong about the matter in the evening: "... Prepare what you need to prepare. Strictly be cautious about this transfer... I will take care of it... You only care about how to give Qingning's dowry..."

Lin Yutong said ‘hmm’: “I’m looking forward to growing up when I’m small, but when I grow up I’ll turn into a white-eyed wolf and fly away as soon as I say it…”

But when Lin Yutong was thinking about what dowry to give Qingning, she patted her head, and was led astray by the fourth master! With their family's situation now, what dowry should they give? Can you build a garden for your daughter outside the city, and then dowry two more people?
