Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 353: Chapter 353 A Man Like Zhang Fei?

”What’s this good opportunity?” Jian Ying asked.

”Come with me to buy a set of clothes for An Hao.” An Hao is still naked now; with the weather overcast and rainy, there’s no sun, and her clothes cannot dry after washing.

We can’t let her go without clothes all the time!

”Sorry, but that’s really not possible. I need to see the sister-in-law and then hurry back—I have to visit the regimental headquarters this afternoon!”

”Work is important, off you go!” Qin Jian said to Jian Ying.

”Okay then, I’m off.” After Jian Ying said that, he made to leave but Qin Jian grabbed him, ”Wait a minute!”

Jian Ying stopped and turned to look at Qin Jian: ”Is there anything else?”

Qin Jian hesitated, then spoke very evasively, ”I’m not very good at choosing girls’ clothes, I mean the kind that fit close to the body...”

”Underwear?” Jian Ying, an experienced man, spoke more boldly than Qin Jian.

”Mm.” Qin Jian answered gloomily, ”I remember you’ve told me before that you’ve given gifts to your wife.”

Jian Ying had a sudden realization: ”Oh! That thing, just go to the shop, give them the size and let the clerk recommend something for you.”

”All right, off you go now.” Qin Jian let go of his hand.

Jian Ying cheerfully left, thinking if he told Tian Niu by evening that the commander had bought underwear for his little wife, it would probably cause quite a stir.

After Jian Ying left, Qin Jian went alone to buy clothes for An Hao.

Outerwear was easy to buy, and he quickly made the purchase.

But underwear presented a difficult problem.

Qin Jian stood at the entrance of a clothing store, seeing female customers coming and going, and felt that being the only man entering the store was somewhat...

The clerk noticed Qin Jian standing at the doorway, wearing his tidy military uniform, handsome, his expression hesitant as if he wanted to come in but seemed afraid to.

”Mister Soldier, come in and take a look!” In those times, the common people naturally felt a closeness and reverence for soldiers, so seeing Qin Jian, she directly invited him in.

Qin Jian hesitated for a moment and then decided to go in, buying clothes for his wife was nothing to be ashamed of.

He thus encouraged himself deep down inside.

Qin Jian was just about to step in when he heard someone calling him from behind, ”Commander Qin?”

He turned around and, to his surprise, found that the person standing behind him was Zhang Yun; there was also a woman with her who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

”I thought it was you from the back, so I tentatively called out, and it really is you!” Zhang Yun laughed, a warm light sparking in her eyes, ”What brings you here?”

”Buying a couple of pieces of clothing for An Hao!” Qin Jian replied truthfully.

”Oh.” Zhang Yun nodded with a smile, then remembered the girl standing next to her and introduced her, ”Yan Huan, come, come, meet Commander Qin! Qin Jian! Our Northern Military Region’s great hero! You should have heard of his name, right?”

”You are Qin Jian?” Yan Huan was stunned seeing Qin Jian’s appearance; she originally thought Qin Jian was a burly man, someone in his thirties who still hadn’t found a wife, probably not that good-looking.

Moreover, she had heard that he was called ’the stoic King of Hell’, always securing first place in the military exercises and the Northern Military Region’s combat competitions.

That was a contest of both intelligence and physical strength!

Especially in the combat competitions, winning the first place overall definitely required an extraordinary physique!

He should be even more robust than an ox, right!

In her mind, Yan Huan’s imagined portrait of him was a man like Zhang Fei!

Seeing such a handsome man with a stature as upright as a pine all of a sudden, she was truly taken aback.
