"Yes, I have been a little short of ideas lately, but I still like Cheng Li. He is beautiful, smart, and the eldest son."
Ye Jun nodded. This was true, but the child was still young and it was too early to say anything. If the two children didn't get along, even if they were arranged to be married, they would become lifelong enemies. It was totally unnecessary.
"Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to let Xiaolin and his wife have another baby. As long as they can give birth to a boy, Xiaolin will have an heir."
"That's true, but I don't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. Xiao Gui has been raised as a boy since he was a child, so it doesn't matter even if Xiao Lin doesn't have a son."
Ye Jun rolled his eyes. What a hypocritical guy. He raised his granddaughter as his grandson and said that he did not favor boys over girls. However, on the battlefield, men were indeed more convenient than women.
Ye Chengying saw Ye Jun rolling his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He took a chair and put it in the yard, sitting there smoking. Although the sun was shining warmly on his body, his heart felt a little cold.
That night, Cheng Qiao took He Fei's pulse and found out that He Fei was in her ovulation period those two days. Then she gave He Fei a health pill directly, hoping that her wish would come true.
Xiaogui was arranged to stay in the room of several children. He Fei originally thought that the little girl would make a lot of noise, but unexpectedly, the little girl would just squeeze into Li Ming's bed and sleep.
Two little figures were covered with a big quilt, reading and laughing together, speaking childish words that the adults could not understand.
He Fei sighed secretly. It seemed that her hope of having Cheng Li as her son-in-law was dashed. However, Li Ming was not bad either. It was not bad for the two children to live together as innocent children.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 29th day of the lunar year. The commendation meeting was held as scheduled. Ye Chengying, Ye Dalin and Ye Xiaolin appeared in the hall. Their appearance made many people whisper.
Some people looked at Ye Chengying with pity, thinking that a mortal could never defeat a person with super powers, but some people looked at the three of them, father and son, with gloating eyes.
You seem to be capable and able to plan everything, but in the end you still fail at the most critical moment. You deserve it.
Ye Chengying's expression did not change at all. It was just a stumble. He could just get up where he fell. He looked around and found that all the corps commanders or brigade commanders under his jurisdiction were present.
Qin Daqiang ran over when he saw Ye Chengying. He had a lot to report to Ye Chengying:
"Hello, Chief Ye. Qin Daqiang is here to report."
"Hello, Captain Qin. You seem to be in good spirits. How are things going here?"
Qin Daqiang puffed out his chest. Ever since the school behind them was converted into the "Liangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine University Branch", he, Qin Daqiang, has received unprecedented attention.
"Report to the commander, our garrison troops are making progress in all aspects. The school has been built, and a garrison clinic has also been established. When Cheng Qiao graduates from university, he will be the dean."
Ye Chengying certainly knew all this, and he deliberately mentioned it in public to give Qin Daqiang a chance. He had no hope of promotion, but Captain Qin could.
But Qin Daqiang didn't think about this at all. Seeing that Ye Chengying was very satisfied with his work, he happily returned to his seat.
The commendation meeting finally began. Qin Daqiang stared at the stage with wide eyes, hoping that Ye Chengying could rise to another level, so that they could do things more conveniently in the future.
But when the only spot was taken by someone from another faction, Qin Daqiang was disappointed. It seemed that Ye Chengying had been caught with something because of the incident on the train, and he probably had no hope of promotion in this life.
The discouraged Qin Daqiang's originally straight back bent slightly. All he could think about was how to help Ye Chengying in the future. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even hear his name being called on the stage.
"Daqiang, you are stupid, why don't you go up?"
The head of a brother unit nearby pulled Qin Daqiang, and Qin Daqiang stood up in surprise. Who was calling him? But when he saw an old man on the stage waving at him, his eyes lit up.
He patted his brothers beside him and trotted up to the stage. When he saw the medal with his name on it, he realized that he had picked up a wallet.
In just the blink of an eye, he was promoted from regiment commander to brigade commander, skipping even the deputy level. This was a huge step forward.
You have to know that the garrison unit he was in was an independent regiment with only 3,000 people under his command, but when he was promoted to a brigade commander at the brigade level in the army, the number of people he could command could be increased to 9,000.
The increase in the number of people means that military salaries will also increase significantly, and the benefits will increase several times. This is a huge thing.
It's just that Qin Daqiang was totally unprepared. He just stared at Yao Peng stupidly and even forgot the most basic salute. But it was such a simple performance that made people feel that Qin Daqiang deserved the title.
"The state has established a traditional Chinese medicine university in the area under your jurisdiction, and you also need to support the northwest border defense and the sand control work in Minqin from time to time, so the number of people must be increased to the maximum limit.
We also hope that Comrade Qin Daqiang will make achievements and breakthroughs in his new position, strive to make greater contributions, and live up to the expectations of the motherland and the people."
Qin Daqiang secretly glanced at Ye Chengying who was sitting in the first row. So that's it. He finally understood Ye Chengying's expectations of him. He straightened up involuntarily and said, "I won't let you down."
The applause rang out and lasted for a long time. At this time, Qin Daqiang finally realized what he had forgotten. He put his legs together, stood straight, and raised his right hand towards Yao Peng and all the generals on the stage.
The generals also stood up, returned the salute, and applauded enthusiastically. Yao Peng sighed, thinking that fortunately, Qin Daqiang was still doing well.
"Comrade Qin Daqiang, I heard that your son Qin Guoqing married Cheng Qiao's sister."
As soon as Qin Daqiang stepped down from the stage and sat down in his seat, a deputy brigade commander from a brother unit behind him patted him on the shoulder and asked with a malicious smile.
Qin Daqiang's face changed, and sarcasm appeared in his tiger eyes: "Who my son marries is none of your business. You ask so clearly, are you trying to investigate me?"
The man behind him had a slightly changed expression. Although he was also a brigade commander, unfortunately he had the extra word "deputy" in his title. How could he be qualified to examine a brigade commander? This guy seemed honest, but he was actually setting a trap for him.
"No, no, congratulations on your promotion to brigade commander. Let's go have a drink after the meeting."
Qin Daqiang rolled his eyes and said that after the meeting, he would go to Ye Jun's house with Ye Chengying. This year his son and daughter-in-law would be there too, and they would finally be able to have a reunion for the New Year's Eve dinner.
But when he followed Ye Chengying back to the courtyard, he did not see Qin Guoqing. After asking, he found out that Qin Guoqing took the train to Chuncheng the day after arriving in Beijing.
"This guy is good at coaxing his wife. Good, give me a grandson as soon as possible."
Qin Daqiang didn't care at all. He found an empty guest room in the back house of the outer courtyard and lived there. When Li's mother wanted to burn charcoal for his kang, he quickly refused. How could a grown man be afraid of the cold
In Chuncheng, Li Le had already had his holiday, but in order to do more business, he kept the grocery store in Chuncheng even during the holiday, and promised Li's mother that he would take the train back to Beijing on the 29th day of the lunar year.
Of course Li's mother was willing. The grocery store's business was getting better and better, and the salespeople were simply too busy to keep up, so they only rested on the night of the 29th day of the lunar year.
But she can't really go back on the 29th of the lunar year. This year Cheng Qiao is going home, and she has to serve her daughter-in-law well and cook more delicious food for her.
So it would be best if Li Le could stay in the grocery store to help. Qin Guoqing wanted to go to help and bring his wife back at the same time. Of course, Li's mother was very happy.
When Qin Guoqing arrived at the grocery store, it was the peak business period. Seeing Li Le busy, he hurried over to help.
Li Le was stunned at first. Didn’t Guoqing say that he would not come back this year because he didn’t have a holiday? When she glanced at the bandage on Qin Guoqing’s hand, her face turned pale.
Seeing Li Le's color change, Qin Guoqing regretted very much that he had worn the white bandage to scare people. His arm could obviously move, but he just couldn't use force. Why did he still scare his wife
He tore off the bandage, wanting to tell Li Le that his hand was fine, but this action scared Li Le, who quickly pulled his sleeve and pushed him back.
Customers who came to purchase New Year's goods saw an injured soldier coming in, and he seemed very familiar with Li Le. They guessed that he was Li Le's man. Now that they all knew each other well, they couldn't help but tease him.
"Le Le, is this your military husband? He looks good. When can I eat your red eggs?"
Li Le's face turned red and he quickly took the brown sugar that the customer wanted and even gave him an extra spoonful. The customer who got a bargain saw that Li Le was shy and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When the other three salesmen saw Qin Guoqing, they also knew that the couple was reunited after a short separation, so they quickly drove Li Le away, as they could not do business anymore.
The two came to their original wedding room. Qin Guoqing looked at the spotless house and the unchanged layout of the house, and felt very warm in his heart:
"Why are you here? Does your hand still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. In fact, it has healed a long time ago. I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect to scare you so much."
"Tell me the truth, is your hand okay?"
"Your second sister-in-law helped me look at it. Do you think there's something wrong?"
"Oh, that's good, go and have some rest, I'll go make you something to eat."
When Li Le heard that it was Cheng Qiao who helped Qin Guoqing with his hand, he immediately put his mind at ease. With his second sister-in-law around, even the King of Hell might not be able to snatch it from her.
Hearing that they had to cook, Qin Guoqing put his arm around Li Le's shoulders and went to the kitchen together. How could he let his college student wife do all the cooking? He was also a member of the family, so of course he had to contribute more.
By the time they had finished eating and drinking, it was already late. Zheng Qing had already cleaned the grocery store with the salesmen, registered all the account books, closed the shop and went home.
