The man's hand trembled as he suspected that something shameful was going on. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Qing coughed: "Hmm, what do you think about our country's current policy of going to the mountains and going to the countryside?"

Lu Qingyao's expression froze, and after a long while, he said: "Regarding the matters above, I do not make any comments, but I feel that reading is the right path."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to college in the army at night.

Ning Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "I have picked up some books, and am preparing to teach Xiangjun and Xiangdang in advance."

Hearing that, Lu Qingyao opened up the cloth, and saw many books lying on top of it.

Ning Qing explained, "When I went to buy the ball of wool, I heard that someone had found out that the town's university library had been investigated. I went to a place filled with books, and only when I arrived there did I find out that there were not only university books inside, there were also many books that were suitable for children to read. I don't think this is always the case with national policy. It's always useful to have a bit of knowledge. "

Lu Qingyao thought back to how Ning Qing looked just now, and how touching these books was like he was touching a treasure.

"They are allowed to read these books at home. Although there are schools in the army, now the children only need to be able to read a little bit."

When Aunt Liu came in, he just happened to hear the couple's conversation and knocked on the door.

Ning Qing looked over and smiled awkwardly: "Aunt."

The Aunt Liu looked at Ning Qing admiringly and said: "Xiao Qing, for you to have such an awareness truly makes me look at you in a new light. Oh yes, I have some dishes here, and I thought that if you didn't go out to buy food for one day, you wouldn't be able to eat anything tonight."

Ning Qing said gratefully: "Thank you."

"That aunt, about the matter of me going back to look for the book …"

Aunt Liu laughed, "What's wrong? "It's quite good, but Little Qing, can you teach it?"

Seeing that the Aunt Liu did not have any opinions on this, Ning Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Hmm, math is not good enough."

However, when Xiangjun and Xiangjun started to study science, they had already started to reform and open up.

Lu Qingyao divided the books well and added, "Yes, Aunt. My wife is also a university student."

Aunt Liu was startled, and said in shock: "Xiao Qing, you're actually a university student?"

Ning Qing laughed: "I passed, because last year's policy changed, and I didn't go up."

The Aunt Liu was no longer surprised by what Ning Qing had said just now. A cultured person, it was normal for their thoughts to be different.

Aunt Liu said half-jokingly: "Little Lu, you've picked up a treasure. However, you're from the Eastern Three Province, how can you call Xiao Qing your wife? "

The one who called him the most was his wife.

Lu Qingyao rubbed the bridge of his nose, "En, it's called smooth mouth."

Actually, he had learned it from the married Xiao Xiao. It was said that women preferred to listen to these two words.

But how shameful would that be?

Ning Qing did not believe Lu Qingyao's words, and did not point it out loud.

Aunt Liu and Ning Qing chatted for a while before they left.

Ning Qing went back to change into a clean set of clothes and prepared to wash his hands and cook.

After dinner, she called the two children over.

"I brought back some sketchbooks this afternoon."

Xiangdang's face lit up, "Mom, can you show it to us?"

Ning Qing nodded, "The reason I brought it back is so that you guys can see it. But outside, you can't tell this to anyone else."

If the words of a child were to leak out, these things would become thorny.

The two children knew the gravity of the matter and nodded cautiously.

When they slept at night, Xiangdang would lie on the bed with a drawing book in each of his hands, reading it with relish.

Ning Qing reminded him: "When you sleep two nights, remember to turn off the light."

Xiangdang nodded, "Understood."

Ning Qing chuckled as he returned to his bedroom with his shoulders hunched.

At that moment, Lu Qingyao was leaning against the bed, holding onto a book and casually reading.

Ning Qing sat on the ground weakly and moaned, "Battalion Commander Lu, quickly pinch for me. It's so painful."

Lu Qingyao immediately put down the book and immediately worked for his wife.

Ning Qing felt the strength of the big hand on his shoulder become very strong, and he hissed, "Gentle, softer, it hurts."

Lu Qingyao's movements became much lighter. This was his wife, not his brothers, but they couldn't take his strength.

However, his heart ached as he looked at her hanging shoulders.

"I saw you carrying those things back, so I …"

En, Battalion Commander Lu really wanted to see the word "pain" but he didn't say it out loud.

Ning Qing turned his head, and asked: "What about Battalion Commander Lu?"

Lu Qingyao didn't know what to reply, and the strength in his hands was neither light nor heavy, "Is it still painful?"

Ning Qing could hear the deep concern in his words and smirked, "Softer."

The man obeyed.

The woman moved her head and said half-jokingly: "Battalion Commander Lu, I didn't think that you had such a high level of understanding towards reading."

Lu Qingyao snorted, and continued pinching his shoulder, "I still need you to say that."

Ning Qing listened to the man's arrogant and spoiled voice, and his smile grew even wider.

When Ning Qing went to report to the military hospital, the two children were sent to the kindergarten by Lu Qingyao.

Aunt Liu immediately brought her to complete the registration formalities, and said to Ning Qing: "Our hospital is really lacking nurses, you came at the right time."

Ning Qing's job was more leisurely, it was to inspect the rooms and remember the cases …

At five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the kindergarten and picked up two children.

When they were about to reach their doorsteps, they met Hu Yuehong and an unfamiliar woman.

When Hu Yuehong saw her, he scoffed coldly, "It's really good to be neighbours with the captain and wife. See, today I was arranged to work in the military hospital."

Although Hu Yuehong looked at Ning Qing, his words were spoken to the lady beside him.

The woman's face was full of disdain as she echoed, "Otherwise, why would I become the stepmother of these two children?"

Ning Qing acted as if he did not hear her words, and pulled the two children along as he walked over.

Even from far away, she could still hear the eerie chatter of the people behind her.

Xiangdang snorted: "Mom, I'll go beat up those two An kids later."

Xiangjun had no objections, and silently nodded.

Ning Qing shook his head: "Don't worry about her."

Hu Yuehong watched her like a spy. She had her own ways to take care of that woman.

Xiangdang imitated Ning Qing's movements and shook his head, "At least let her suffer a bit."

Ning Qing rubbed his head: "Do you think your mother is a pushover?"

"But you said you didn't need to care about her."

Ning Qing faintly said, "You'll know in two days."

A child can't tell what a grown-up is going to say.

Lu Xiangjun, on the other hand, blinked his eyes. His introverted and obedient character had long been trained like a little overlord by Dong Ziqiang. He had heard Ning Qing's words of "not taking care of the An clan's two brats" clearly, they belonged to his left ear.

That night, the An two youngsters were beaten up by a group of children.

When Ning Qing was cooking at night, he could faintly hear the Battalion Commander An's quiet sigh from the An clan who was at the side.

A week later, Ning Qing would take out the woolen sweaters he made for the two children and let them wear it.

Today was a weekend so Xiangjun couldn't let go of the cardigan that was like a panda, "Mom, can brother and I go out to play? I promise I won't get my clothes dirty. "

As he spoke, he followed Ning Qing into the kitchen.

Wearing the same sweater as Xiangjun, Xiangdang had the same idea as Xiangjun and chased him into the kitchen.

Ning Qing was annoyed by the two children, so he could only compromise: "Alright, but you must practice the English that I wrote for you two yesterday from one to one hundred. There is no time limit."

The two of them had no objections and immediately went to do as they were told.

The weather had been warm for the past few days, so it wouldn't be a big problem for him to go out and play with a single woolen sweater.

Ning Qing did not stay idle throughout the afternoon. A few days ago, he bought some potatoes and fried some of them up, preparing to give the two children a snack.

Lu Qingyao returned early this afternoon.

Seeing the man walk in, she said, "You go find your two sons, take them to the supply shop to buy fish and tofu, have some fish soup tonight, and ask them where you can get the chickens and ducks. Also, you can't buy eggs every month."

Lu Qingyao, who had not even rested for a moment, walked out again after hearing the arrangements.

When he found the children, their faces were dirty, but their new clothes were clean.

No matter how he looked at it, he found it funny that the panda was so lifelike while wearing the clothes of a dirty child.

"Xiangjun, Xiangdang, come with me to the supply shop."

Xiangdang was the first to run over, "Father, why are you back so early today?"

Lu Qingyao choked, could it be that he usually came back late?

A few adults came to find their son, but when they saw the man's cold expression, they whispered amongst themselves …

"Is Battalion Commander Lu angry?"

"It's not easy to be a stepdad. Look at the dirty faces of these two kids. If they gave that to my family, I would have already kicked them!"
