Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Are You Afraid That Your Sister-in-Law Will Despise You?

The descent from the mountain indeed became much easier, and the warriors lightened their load considerably. Most importantly, Qin Jian and Tian Niu lying on the stretchers also felt much more comfortable.

”This old man is really strange,” Lin Dong said while walking and shaking his head with a smile, ”I just asked him for directions, and it scared him so much! He ran away as soon as he saw us; I don’t know if he’s frightened or just doesn’t like us.”

Qin Jian certainly knew what Mu Qiankun was like. Although he didn’t have a close relationship with him, through his conversations with Mu Mian, Qin Jian deduced that this was not a simple-minded peasant.

”This man gives me a bad feeling. It seems he has some hostility towards us, yet he’s afraid of us. His behavior tells me he must be hiding something,” Qin Jian squinted his eyes; his judgment was always precise.

This Mu Qiankun was definitely not to be taken lightly. However, simple or not, Qin Jian had no concern with it.

Therefore, once he left, Qin Jian wouldn’t think about him again.

”This guy is no good at all! I hate him the most. Next time, don’t let me run into him again; if he provokes me, I’ll beat him to death!” Tian Niu said with loathing.

It took half a day for the group to descend from the mountain.

Several military vehicles were parked at the base of the mountain, and Zhao Dong opened the door, directing the warriors to carefully place Qin Jian into the vehicle.

”Directly to the military district general hospital,” Zhao Dong said to the communications officer driving.

”No need! Directly back to the military district quarters,” Qin Jian commanded.

”Are you sure you’re alright physically? You should still go to the hospital for a thorough check-up first!” Zhao Dong said.

”My body is in good shape! I know it myself, let’s go back to the district quarters first,” Qin Jian was eager to see his family.

At that moment, he wished he could grow wings beneath his ribs and fly back to their side.

Zhao Dong burst out laughing upon hearing this, ”I’ve always heard that the commander is fond of his wife, but I didn’t expect it to be true! The first thing he does upon returning isn’t seeing a doctor, but his wife.”

The corner of Qin Jian’s mouth curled up as he glanced at him, ”You’re not married yet, are you, Captain Zhao?”

”No.”

”You’ll understand this feeling when you have someone,” Qin Jian said, and his smile deepened.

”That’s only if it’s a beauty like your wife! If it were some shrew, I bet I wouldn’t want to go back at all,” Zhao Dong said with a chuckle.

The two chatted idly in the vehicle, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the military district quarters.

Qin Jian and Tian Niu were staying in different quarters, so the vehicle split at the crossroad.

Qin Jian returned to the large quarters of the military district, where the commander was located.

The vehicle slowly entered the quarters, and Qin Jian inexplicably felt nervous.

”Captain Zhao, how do I look now?” Qin Jian asked.

”You look a bit worse than usual, but overall, you still look good,” Zhao Dong said, his eyes crinkling into a line with laughter, ”What’s the matter? Are you afraid your sister-in-law will disdain you?”

”That’s not it.” He was just worried that An Hao would see him like this and worry about him.

Because he knew that even if everyone else despised him, An Hao would never do so.

He had that confidence in An Hao.

At last, the vehicle arrived and parked in the residential area closest to the inside, with the most pleasant scenery—the commander’s home.

An Hao heard the sound of the car engine from upstairs. She leaned out of the window.

The moment that military green figure suddenly entered her sight, An Hao was instantly stunned, her nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face.
