Qiao Qiaodan and Ling Xiaowei returned to her residence.
"Wow! Xiaowei, your house is great, just like the one in your hometown." Qiaodandan exclaimed.
She didn't know what a courtyard house was, but she thought this kind of bungalow was the same as a house in the countryside.
"I just bought it because it looks like my hometown." Ling Xiaowei led Qiaodandan into the house and got her slippers.
Jordan looked at the furnishings in the room in amazement, they were so exquisite and beautiful, "This room is different, it's beautiful!"
"How much did you pay for this yard?" Jordan Dan was very curious. She also wanted to buy one, although she didn't have much money.
"It's quite expensive. It's much more expensive than a house in the countryside. If you like it, you can come here often in the future." Ling Xiaowei brought some fruit to Jordan.
Jordan took off his hat and let his pretty short hair fall down.
Ling Xiaowei felt her eyes light up, "Dandan, you are so thin now and you have become more beautiful."
"It's true! It's true that I'm thin, but why am I beautiful? It's you who are beautiful." Jordan Dan grinned, with a hint of shyness on his face.
"Being a soldier is hard!" Ling Xiaowei saw some scars on her arms exposed by the short-sleeved shirt she was wearing.
Those are all scars that have not gone away. Girls all love beauty. How sad it is to have such scars on your body!
"It's a bit hard, but our motherland always needs someone to protect it! Women can hold up half the sky. I may fight now. It's not a problem for one person to fight ten." Qiaodandan said and played a few tricks.
The one who attracts tigers and tigers makes wind.
Ling Xiaowei laughed, and took Qiao Qiaodan to chat for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she quickly made some food.
She was pressed for time and didn't cook anything particularly delicious, so she made some noodles, one egg noodles for each person, and two poached eggs for Jordan.
Some friends, even if they haven't seen each other for many years, feel the same when they meet again.
Jordan Dan was not restrained or polite at all, and even looked for food by himself. When he saw the dried radish, he said excitedly: "I just want to eat some of this, add some to the noodles, it won't be too fragrant."
"I made these myself. I learned from Aunt Zhang. If you like it, just take a bottle back."
Jordan took a spoon and took a big spoonful, then shook his head and said, "No, we don't let you eat food from outside."
"Then come and get it when you go back!" Ling Xiaowei also took a spoonful.
"Xiaowei, you know, a few years ago, I went on a mission in the Gobi, and guess who I saw." Qiaodandan's eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Who is it?" Ling Xiaowei asked curiously.
Jordan bit his chopsticks and said with a silly smile: "I saw Qi Lei. He went to the border to support him. What a coincidence."
"Really! You guys are so destined!" Ling Xiaowei said happily.
She and Qi Lei have actually been in contact over the years. He is now studying medicine and interning at the Military Region General Hospital. Qi Yue said that his brother is very good and has completed five years of courses in two years.
That is to say, through the correspondence with Qi Yue, she knew Qi Lei's feelings for her.
After knowing this, she deliberately communicated less with Qi Lei and had no contact for more than half a year.
It turns out we went to the border!
"Don't you like him? Then you have to be careful." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile.
Jordan's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly, "But he doesn't like me at all! I went to see him every day in the border area, but he never smiled at me. He even said he had someone he liked."
"Yeah!" Ling Xiaowei felt a little guilty.
Seeing Qiaodandan's disappointed look, she felt a little distressed. She couldn't say any words of encouragement, so she had to pat Qiaodandan on the shoulder.
"There is no grass anywhere in the world. You are so good, Dandan, and you will find something better in the future." Ling Xiaowei comforted her.
Qiao Qiaodan laughed and pushed Ling Xiaowei, "What about you! Have you found a partner?"
"I am so outstanding, but ordinary people are not worthy of me." Ling Xiaowei said smugly.
"That's right!" Jordan Dan agreed.
Time passed by so fast without even realizing it, and the two of them hadn’t finished speaking yet!
"I'm going back, Xiaowei. Give me your number. We will keep in touch in the future."
"You have a mobile phone now." Ling Xiaowei heard Wang Xiaofei say before that Qiaodandan and his troops were not provided with mobile phones.
"No, but I can call you from the landline." Jordan said.
Ling Xiaowei nodded, went to the desk and wrote her own number to Qiaodandan.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
"Farewell, I'll go back by myself. I'll run back and I'll be there in ten minutes. You see me off, I don't know when it will be!"
Ling Xiaowei thought about it, and when she saw Qiao Qiaodan leaving, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
But no matter what, I was very happy to see her today. Knowing that she is doing well makes her very happy.
After watching Qiaodan Dan leave, she went into the house to clean up, and also tidied up the room next door.
I packed up all the vegetables and snacks I bought and waited for the two little ones to come over tomorrow.
The waiting time was really too long. The next morning, she simmered chicken soup so that when her younger brothers and sisters arrived, she could drink the stomach-warming soup.
Because I have a flight, I guess I won't be able to arrive until this afternoon.
Ling Xiaowei called and asked Yao Hong to send Jia Jia and Xin Bao over.
The house is very lively tonight, full of children!
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Xiaowei finally saw Mingming and Xiaohua at home.
When the two little kids saw her, they hugged one of her arms and called her sister, and they were very affectionate.
This courtyard finally became lively.
In the evening, Yao Hong, Wang Jian, and Zhang Xiu's family came over.
They were busy making dinner, and Ling Xiaowei took a few children to play with the cats in the yard.
Several men were chatting in the yard.
The small courtyard was very lively.
Compared with the two courtyards next door, they seem particularly quiet.
Shi Mingwei heard the laughter and laughter next door and was filled with envy.
She must be very happy today!
I really hope he is one of them.
After dinner was ready, everyone set up a round table in the yard and started eating and drinking in the yard.
Everyone also talked about the National Day celebration tomorrow.
Yao Hong took out a few tickets and said: "These are the tickets for the auditorium given by the relatives. They are a little closer. You can take them and share them."
"I'm going to walk in the parade tomorrow. Just take Mingming and Xiaohua with you." Ling Xiaowei didn't ask for a ticket.
"Xiaowei, you are going to march in a square formation! You are really amazing. We rough guys can only watch from below." Wang Jian was really envious.
He has never read any books, and he is able to behave like this because Xiaowei is behind it.
"Yes, if it weren't for Xiaowei, I would still be farming in my hometown!" Zhang Xiu said honestly.
Now he no longer makes tofu, but has started a catering business, and opened a chain of restaurants in the capital. Xiaowei invested all the money, and now he is also a small boss.
"That's right, Xiaowei, let's toast you." Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Ling Xiaowei.
Ling Xiaowei couldn't drink, so she drank deliciously and drank happily with everyone.
"If you work hard, it will only get better and better. If you don't work hard, it will be useless no matter how much I plan later. I don't ask for much. As long as everyone works together, is united and united."
Ling Xiaowei raised her glass and said to the two families.
As the boss, she also has to say some words of encouragement to everyone.
