"This mouth is quite eloquent." Mrs. Xiao looked at the group of people lying on the ground, raised her hand, and pointed her fingertips directly on Xiao Jing's body, "Your father dare not speak to me like that, You have been in the special forces for a few days, but your wings are hard."
"I'm just seeking truth from facts. In the past, I respected you as an elder, and now I respect you too, but the captain is right in saying that the people we respect must first be worthy of our respect." Xiao Jing said without changing her expression.
"Are you saying that I don't deserve your respect?"
"I just ask you to understand that human nature is equal, and on the same line, you must also respect my mother."
Mrs. Xiao cast a cold glance at the silent woman, and snorted coldly, "In Xiao's house, I have the final say."
"Isn't the Xiao family's rules all the time the wife in charge has the final say?" Xiao Jing asked.
"Say it again." Mrs. Xiao walked over furiously, raised her hand, and made a gesture to slap this unworthy descendant.
"Mrs. Tai, I have a thick skin. If you hit me with your bones, I'm afraid you will hurt yourself." Xiao Jing quietly dodged back and avoided Mrs. Xiao's hand.
The old man glared, "Get out of here. It seems that in the past few months in the Iron Eagles, your ability has not improved, but your temper has grown a lot."
"What are you doing here?" The man's cold voice came from downstairs.
Mrs. Xiao pointed at Xiao Jing who dared to talk back to her, and said with hatred on her face: "Look for yourself what kind of good son this woman has raised for you. Not only does she disrespect the elders, but she also insults me, an old man in his seventies, a rebellious son, and an unfilial son. Send someone to take the two mother and child back to me."
Xiao Yao walked up the stairs, looked at the group of guards lying on the ground, and then at Xiao Jing who was protecting Qin Ran, he nodded, "Leave this to me, mother, you can go downstairs to drink tea gone."
Mrs. Xiao's tone was grim, "I don't want to see them, and it's not their mother and son's turn to appear on the occasion today."
"Mother, they are all members of the Xiao family, not outsiders." Xiao Yao said indifferently.
Mrs. Xiao's complexion darkened, "What do you mean by that? Do you really intend to let this mother and son attend a banquet like today?"
"Mother, as I said, I will handle this matter. You just need to drink tea properly."
"You mean to let me mind my own business?"
"I just want you to spend your old age peacefully. Qin Ran has been married to the Xiao family for more than 20 years. It's time for her to come back and get to know everyone."
"Xiao Yao!" Mrs. Xiao raised her voice, "How could you say such a thing."
"Mother, I don't want you to work too hard. It's tiring to take care of such a big family."
"Are you planning to admit their mother and son?"
Xiao Yao was noncommittal.
Madam Xiao's blood pressure rose, and her whole body trembled imperceptibly, "You want to piss me off, don't you?"
"Mother, I have asked all the children about this matter. The Xiao family has been deserted for so many years. It is time to reunite. Today is a good start." Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand towards Qin Ran, "Follow me."
Qinran looked at the hand that was suddenly placed in front of her, her expression froze, and she looked into the man's eyes at a loss. Those eyes made her unconsciously awed. They were the eyes she had admired for more than 20 years. eyes.
"Follow me." Xiao Yao repeated his words again.
Qin Ran came to her senses and took his hand carefully. The man's palm had been holding a weapon for many years, and there was a thick layer of calluses on the palm.
"Xiao Yao." Mrs. Xiao covered her forehead with one hand, angrily, "Did you forget what I told you?"
Xiao Yao pulled Qin Ran's hand into his own, and said softly, "Raise your head, remember, from now on you are the mistress of the Xiao family."
Qinran followed him down the stairs step by step, and all the guests in the hall came to search one by one.
The music was melodious, and everyone seemed to be more or less unfamiliar with the lady next to Xiao Yao. After all, the Xiao family had rarely mentioned this lady in charge these years.
Xiao Yao walked among the crowd, with a modest and polite smile on his face, he said: "This is my wife, I'm a little nervous today."
Qin Ran blushed involuntarily. Although she was approaching fifty years old, she had taken good care of herself these years. Standing in front of the heroic Marshal, she was not only as gentle as a bird, but also young and beautiful. Everyone is ladylike.
Xiao Jing stood on the second floor, her hands could not stop tightly clutching the guardrail.
Shen Chengfeng stood by her side, when there was no one around, he held her hand, and wiped away the fine sweat from her palm without any trace.
Xiao Jing let out a long breath, and calmed down her heart that was about to jump out of her heart. She looked at the captain beside her and pursed her lips into a smile.
"What you said just now is correct, you are very brave." Shen Chengfeng's voice was low.
Xiao Jing lowered her head with lingering fear, "I'm really afraid that Mrs. Tai will slap me again, and I will definitely not be able to avoid it at that time."
"Why can't I hide anymore?"
"She is an elder."
"Then why did you avoid it at the beginning?"
Xiao Jing is very contradictory, no matter what she must respect the elders in Xiao's family, but why did she resist just for a moment? Maybe it was the stubbornness in her bones that made her not want to be cowardly anymore, maybe it was her mother who had been humbled for more than 20 years behind her, and if she continued to be humble, her mother would be even more pitiful.
As her only support, her pride, she must straighten her back and face the sea of swords and flames in front of her.
"Do you know why I praised you?" Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Jing thought for a moment, "I did a good job just now? I took out ten guards in less than a minute."
Shen Chengfeng shook his head, "Think again."
Xiao Jing rested her chin on one hand, carefully recalled the episode just now, frowned and said, "Could it be because I avoided a slap from Mrs. Tai?"
Shen Chengfeng squatted down and leaned against her ear, and said softly: "Put on the military uniform, take off the military uniform, we should all be respected by others, if people are kind to me, I will be kind to them, and if they are not kind to me, I will not be kind to them."
Xiao Jing paid attention to his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Captain, there is more to this sentence."
"Yes, I think you only need to remember this sentence."
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xiao Jing stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
Shen Chengfeng put his arms around her waist and led her away from the stairs, turned into a quiet corner of the corridor, grabbed her chin with one hand, raised her head high, and stroked her lips with a half-smile In the end, he kissed her lips directly without any hesitation about where he was.
Rich and fragrant, like dipped in honey.
"Dong dong dong." The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs.
Xiao Jing hastily pushed away the officer who was leaning on her body, arranged her clothes, and faced the visitor.
Qin Ran drank a little wine, and her face was a little bit drunk. She hadn't seen her baby properly for almost three years, and she almost fell down in a moment of impatience.
Xiao Jing stepped forward, stood up straight, and saluted, "Mother."
Qin Ran looked her child up and down carefully, her eyes flushed, she nodded, "Well, my child is getting stronger and darker."
Xiao Jing stretched out her hand and hugged the woman directly, "Mom, you've lost weight too."
"Okay, let mom take a good look." Qin Ran stroked her head and frowned, "Why is the mouth broken?"
Xiao Jing covered her mouth in embarrassment, "Maybe it was because I was too excited just now, and I bit it."
Qin Ran blamed herself, "It's your mother who made you suffer."
"No." Xiao Jing moved her body shyly, tugged at the corner of Shen Chengfeng's clothes behind her, and said, "Mom, let me introduce you. This is my captain. He treats me very well."
It was only then that Qin Ran noticed the man behind her. He was tall and mighty, with an imposing appearance. He looked like a dragon and a phoenix at first glance. She hurriedly adjusted her appearance, and said gently, "Sir, you have been taking care of me these days." gone."
Shen Chengfeng took a step forward, straightened his body, and saluted, "Nice to meet you. My name is Shen Chengfeng. I'm 1.87 meters tall. I'm 30 years old. I'm currently serving as a major general. I'll be promoted to lieutenant general early next year. My parents are with me and I have two older brothers." , are currently unmarried."
"..." Qin Ran looked at her baby in surprise, thinking that if you introduce yourself in the military camp, you need to report your family situation
Xiao Jing shyly said: "The captain is too serious."
Shen Chengfeng was meticulous, and continued: "Madam, I hope to leave a good impression in front of you. Although I look cold and cold, I am kind-hearted, humble, loyal to the country, and have great ambitions."
"There are not many young people like this." Qin Ran was a little embarrassed, tugged at the corner of her daughter's clothes, and whispered, "Did your captain just get provoked by Mrs. Tai?"
Xiao Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "He is probably a little nervous, after all, this is the first time he has seen you."
"What's so nervous about seeing me? Shouldn't I be nervous? He's your leader. Do you want me to introduce myself too?"
Xiao Jing nodded, "You can say that."
Qin Ran cleared her throat, "What happened just now made you laugh. I am Xiao Jing's mother, and you should have heard about the situation at home. I made you laugh when we met for the first time."
"Madam, please don't call me respectful anymore. I am your junior. Xiao Jing is my soldier no matter whether she is in front or in the rear. I will treat her with courtesy."
"Thank you so much." Qin Ran held Xiao Jing's hand, eyes full of doting.
"You have a good chat with her, I'll go downstairs first." Shen Chengfeng bypassed the two and walked down the stairs calmly.
Qin Ran took Xiao Jing to the guest room, and in the quiet environment, she looked at her again.
Xiao Jing was made a little guilty by her mother's scorching eyes. She probably couldn't see that she had hugged her captain and held her high.
Qin Ran smiled, "My child has really grown a bit taller."
"Probably because the back is straighter." Xiao Jing replied.
"Have you worked hard?" Qin Ran's eyes were red, and she stroked Xiao Jing's hands repeatedly, "What beautiful hands before, but now they are so rough."
"Mom, these are all things I like, and I never find it hard."
"It's fine if you like it. When I enlisted you in the army, I was very worried about whether you could survive. I thought about it countless times. If things were revealed, even if I were to die, I would rescue you from the army camp. My child, you Did you blame me?"
Xiao Jing shook her head, shaking her head without thinking, "I have never hated you, no matter what reason you deceived everyone in the first place, I was willing to continue acting like this afterwards."
"I'm sorry, my child." Qin Ran hugged her, "After two more years of hard work, we will retire after two years. No matter what situation we face at that time, mother will bear it all."
"Mom, I never thought about quitting." Xiao Jing said firmly.
Qin Ran was startled, and said in panic, "What did you say?"
"I like the Special Forces very much. I like the captain and the group of comrades. I don't want to quit. As long as I can afford a gun, I will stick to it."
"Xiao Jing, you know very well that you are a girl."
"Yes, I know very well, that's why I insist on staying."
"Why?" Qin Ran asked.
Xiao Jing wondered why, she used to want glory, she wanted to return to the Xiao family with pride, but now she also wanted this honor, and then married into the Shen family with her head held high.
She needs these honors, and the brilliance she wears on her body, so that she can stand upright and face the next gossip with pride.
"Why?" Qin Ran didn't get a reply, so she asked again.
Xiao Jing smiled, "Because I like it, I like the status of a soldier."
Qin Ran sighed, "Son, I don't want you to work too hard, and I don't want you to force yourself."
"Mom, what do you think of our captain?" Xiao Jing changed the subject.
Qinran obviously didn't expect her to say that suddenly, and there was nothing to reply for a while.
Xiao Jing smiled, "The captain is very kind to me, sometimes I think that if I can, I will marry him." She timidly tried.
Qin Ran slapped her on the back, and said seriously, "Don't think about your chief with such dirty thoughts. Since he treats you well, you have to respect him with gratitude. A hero like this is You have to admire it in your heart.”
The corners of Xiao Jing's mouth twitched slightly, "Mom thinks we are not suitable?"
"Why is it suitable? He is your captain, and you are just a soldier, so why is it suitable?"
"Emotions do not require high or low status." Xiao Jing said cautiously, "Emotions depend on feelings and mutual intentions. I think the captain and I are quite suitable."
Qin Ran felt that something was wrong. This child knew her own woman. Facing the captain with strong hormones, she might lose her mind. She said nervously, "Tell mom, are you... have a crush on your captain? "
"..." We are clearly in love.
Qinran saw that she was silent, and the answer was clear. She grabbed her hand and said solemnly, "My child, you know that you are a girl. It is normal for you to like a good man, but they don't know that you are a girl." , if you act too close, people will misunderstand whether you have special hobbies. Your team leader can see that he is an upright big shot. If he knows that you have that kind of thought for him, he will despise you, hate you, and even alienate you your."
"Mother-"
"Don't talk about it, don't think about these things in the future, no matter whether you have that impulse in your heart, child, you can't get caught up in it, mom doesn't want you to follow in my footsteps, understand?"
Xiao Jing rubbed her forehead, she felt that if she pierced the layer of paper between herself and the captain at this time, with her mother's cautious appearance, she would definitely faint on the spot.
"Okay, let's stop hiding and chatting here, let's go downstairs, your elder brother and the others should have come back." Qin Ran tidied her clothes for her, smiling, "My child has grown up too."
Xiao Jing walked behind her mother, and when she walked to the hall, she happened to see the captain she had been thinking about entering the study.
Wait, after entering the study, what is he doing in the study at this time
Ordinary people can't go in easily in the study room. Did he go there to whisper to his father
what to do? Do I want to hear it
"Xiaojing, what are you standing there for? Come here." Qin Ran called her softly in the corridor.
Xiao Jing nodded, and turned her head three times a step to inquire about the location of the study.
In the quiet room, the clock was beating in an orderly manner.
Xiao Yao stood in front of the bookcase, looking at the books on his entire wall, without saying a word.
Shen Chengfeng stood two meters away from him, also not saying a word.
"I thought there would be no visitors from the Shen family." About five minutes later, Xiao Yao turned around, and his gaze fell on Shen Chengfeng, who was regarded as the most outstanding of the younger generation.
Shen Chengfeng raised his head neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes met in twos and fours, he saluted, and said: "I think you should want to see me, so you came here on purpose."
"How did you know I wanted to see you?"
"Because of Xiao Jing's matter, you must really want to see me."
"Since you know that I will meet you because of Xiao Jing, do you still dare to come to see me?"
"I am a responsible person."
Xiao Yao's hand rested on the table. Although the surface was calm and calm, the hand on the table had already turned into a fist, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
"Yes, Xiao Jing and I are married."
