Reborn 1980, the island military wife is charming and sassy

Chapter 276 Tiger Beard

Niu Niu paused for two seconds and nodded: "Mom, Uncle Zhou is nice and kind. Niu Niu likes Uncle Zhou."

"Well..." Xie Qing hugged Niu Niu into his arms and stared at the door thoughtfully.

The twelfth lunar month passed quickly. During this period, Zhou Jianguo went home. When he heard that his son and daughter-in-law were back, he hurried back from the army and stayed at home all afternoon. After dinner, he left in the dark by car.

When Zhou Qi was sending people out, Zhou Jianguo dismissed everyone and left Zhou Qi in the car.

In the middle of darkness and street lights, Zhou Jianguo sat upright in the back seat of the car and said in a deep voice: "There will be a transfer quota in the Eastern Theater Zone next spring. Will you go?"

Zhou Qi pondered: "Dad, Yanqiu is about to give birth at that time."

"I'm about to give birth and I have your mother. How can you help at home?"

"But I don't want Yanqiu to have a widowed marriage. With a child, it will be difficult for her to be a woman who has to take care of the child and have to work."

"It's not difficult for anyone. Isn't this how your mother came here? When your mother married me, I was still a poor boy! Who helped her take care of the children! Isn't this how she came here too!"

"But, Dad...you are willing to go out of your way to make my mother suffer, but I am not willing to let my wife suffer."

Zhou Qi's words left Zhou Jianguo speechless.

Being disgraced by his son, my face was not bright. In order to save face, Zhou Jianguo continued to throw out bait: "This is a good opportunity for you to get promoted."

"You get promoted just like you did on Kongtong Island, Dad."

Zhou Qi's voice was very calm.

"Dad, it's not that I'm not enterprising. Xie Yanqiu was just a little girl back then. She traveled thousands of miles to follow the army to Kongtong Island."

"She has suffered a lot for me, and now her factory is finally on track. If I leave her on Kongtong Island and leave again, then I am really not a man!"

His words fell on Zhou Jianguo's ears. Commander Zhou, who was over fifty years old, sat with a serious eyebrow, thought deeply for a few minutes, and then spoke slowly.

"Okay, now that you've decided, just stay on Kongtong Island. You can be promoted after staying for a year and a half."

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to Zhou Jianguo, Xie Yanqiu looked at the military jeep going away, a little curious about what the two men were talking about in the car for so long.

Before she could speak, Zhou Qi took out a red sachet from his arms and stuffed it into Xie Yanqiu's arms.

"what?"

Xie Yanqiu opened the pocket and found that inside was a long white jade beard tied with red rope, with a piece of white jade embedded at the end.

"Dad asked me to give this to you, Tiger Beard."

"???" Xie Yanqiu didn't understand why she was given this for no reason.

Zhou Qi explained: "My dad said that if you put this thing under our bed, the baby in your belly will be healthy and healthy after birth, and will be immune to all diseases."

His voice was very low, but it was still heard by Xie Qing next to him, and he felt very sad in his heart.

From the time Zhou Jianguo arrived home at noon until he left in the evening, he only greeted them politely and didn't even say a serious word.

Zhou Jianguo left something specially for Xie Yanqiu...

The reluctance rushing into her heart almost burned the woman's remaining sanity. She held Niu Niu's hand and exerted uncontrollable force until Niu Niu stood on the ground and sobbed and begged: "Mom, it hurts..."

Xie Qingcai was in a daze for a moment, realizing that he had just lost his composure.

Seeing that the two of them were still chatting, she calmed down and walked to them and exclaimed: "So this is the tiger's beard. I used to hear the old man say that the tiger's beard can ward off evil spirits."

"This is the first time I have seen Tiger Beard in the past [-] years. After all, I am from a small mountain village and I have little experience."

Xie Yanqiu frowned slightly after listening to her words. She didn't understand why Xie Qing suddenly felt sorry for himself. She stretched out her hand and brought the tiger's beard a little closer so that Xie Qing could see clearly.

Xie Qing looked at it for a long time, with an envious expression: "Yanqiu, I really envy you for having a good father-in-law, unlike me, who has a hard life. Niuniu often has nightmares in the middle of the night, so he took her to see Da Xian'er. Da Xian'er said that our Niu Niu is weak, what? When demons and monsters see Niuniu, they like to come over to entertain the children in the middle of the night."

"It is said that this tiger must be able to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts. Yanqiu, why don't you give it to Niuniu first? Just think of it as bringing blessings to Niuniu, and I will return it to you after you give birth."

As soon as she finished speaking, Niu Niu spoke up: "Thank you, Aunt Yanqiu..."

Xie Yanqiu was held high by Niu Niu's words. As an adult, how could she have the same understanding as a child? But this was given to her by Zhou Jianguo, and this was the only one...

"No." It was Zhou Qi who refused.

Xie Yanqiu looked over in astonishment and saw Zhou Qi frowning: "My father got this thing specially for Yanqiu. It represents his affection for his grandson. It can only be kept beside Yanqiu's bed."

Hearing this, Xie Yanqiu's heart suddenly returned to its original place.

In fact, the moment Zhou Qi spoke, she was really afraid that Zhou Qi would be like a scumbag, giving in to the virtuous and giving away his wife and children for the sake of so-called noble morality.

She nodded lightly: "Yes, Qingqing, if you like it, I'll ask someone to get you another one. This thing is really not very good."

The two chatted with each other, and Xie Qing's face turned pale for a moment, then returned to normal without any trace.

Xie Qingzhang laughed: "Okay, then ask someone to ask for it for me. I also want to get one for Niu Niu, so that she can have a good sleep and I will feel at ease."

"Ah."

When going to bed at night, Xie Yanqiu suffered from insomnia for the first time.

The words Han Shuna said to herself on the first day back came over and over in her mind.

But he quickly shook his head in denial.

Xie Qing has been in a relationship with her for more than ten years, and it is impossible for her to change her heart. What's more, she finally helped Xie Qing get out of the quagmire of domestic violence. Xie Qing would not repay kindness with hatred.

Next to him, Zhou Qi felt the woman turning over and over in his sleepy state. He turned over and held Xie Yanqiu in his arms. The fine beard stubble lightly scratched the woman's hairy head.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Zhou Qi, you said people's hearts can change, right?"

"maybe."

"???" Xie Yanqiu's face was full of questions, but Zhou Qi pulled him over, and the two faced each other.

Under the moonlight, the man looked at her calmly: "My heart for you will never change."

"........."

Xie Yanqiu was not in the mood to flirt with him now, so she turned over and said speechlessly: "Sleep."

Zhou Qi, who was left behind, sighed: "Hey, my wife doesn't love me now, what will I do in the future? I will forget about the old man after I have a child..."

Xie Yanqiu was speechless. When did Zhou Qi start to be so pretentious?

Turning around, she reached out and touched his forehead lightly, and then said nonsense that she would go to the living room to sleep tonight.

Zhou Qi shut up, and the next second Xie Yanqiu's voice came: "Why did you suddenly think of rejecting Niuniu today? I remember that you usually like her, don't you?"

"Besides, as soldiers, don't you believe in sacrificing yourself for others? Why are you so selfish today?"
