When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Ning Ying said stubbornly: "No, feeling sorry for a man will make him suffer for his whole life. You might as well feel sorry for yourself if you have the time."

Qin Zhao knew that she was saying one thing and thinking another, so he turned around and pulled her into his arms: "I don't need you to feel sorry for me as a rough man. What I want is your love, Ning Ying, you have to keep me in your heart, even if it's the last place, as long as you have me."

Ning Ying chuckled: "Everyone else wants to be first, why do you want to be last?"

"Because I hope you put yourself first. No matter when and where, you should consider yourself first. Secondly, you always value friendship, so you must put your sister second. So I reluctantly make you the third one. Isn't that too much?"

Ning Ying's heart was filled with moisture: "What about you?"

"You and my beloved flower grower come first, then you, and finally you. I start with you, end with you, and am loyal to you."

Ning Ying's throat was a little wet, and she said in a muffled voice, "Captain Qin, are you strict with yourself and lenient with others?"

“This is a promise to you.”

"Okay, I accept it, so... I'm hungry now, when is dinner?"

Qin Zhao scratched her nose lovingly and said, "Go wait outside. Dinner will be served soon."

A moment later, the New Year's Eve dinner was served, including braised spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, garlic prawns, mapo tofu... everything was delicious.

Ning Na smiled as soon as she saw the dishes. At least half of the dishes on the table were Ning Ying's favorites. After tasting them, her smile deepened: "Qin Zhao, your cooking skills are really good. You are no different from a hotel chef."

"Then eat more, sister."

Hearing Qin Zhao calling her sister, Ning Na became even more enthusiastic: "Don't hesitate to treat this place as your home."

"Okay." Although Qin Zhao agreed, his hands were busy peeling shrimps and picking fish bones for Ning Ying. After a while, he placed a small plate of tender shrimp and fish meat in front of her.

Ning Na smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. She was extremely satisfied with Qin Zhao. Being a soldier had good physical fitness and he loved his younger sister. Judging from his upbringing, his family background was not bad either. In the future, his younger sister would finally have a solid support.

The three of them ate New Year's Eve dinner together, watched the Spring Festival Gala on the black and white TV, and chatted about family matters. The meal was particularly warm.

Ning Na said that this was the first reunion dinner she had with Ning Ying after returning home so she had to stay up all night. After twelve o'clock, she took out the cooked dumplings and told Ning Ying to go out and set off firecrackers.

As soon as the clock struck twelve, firecrackers rang out in every household and neighbors lit torches outside their doors.

When they saw a tall and handsome guy standing next to Ning Ying, they immediately asked curiously, "Ning Ying, is this your boyfriend?"

Ning Ying blushed and nodded.

"She's pretty and tall, a good match for you. What do you do?"

"A soldier."

"It's good to be a soldier. I was going to introduce my nephew to you, but it seems that's not necessary."

Qin Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, and when his neighbor handed him a cigarette, he quickly waved his hand.

After the torches burned out and the crowd dispersed, he couldn't help but ask, "It seems that there are a lot of people who introduce you to potential partners."

"It's OK. After all, my personal conditions are there. If you are too outstanding, people will always be concerned about you."

Seeing that no one was around, Qin Zhao bit her lower lip as if to punish her: "Then I'll stamp it quickly to avoid being remembered by others."

"Hey, it hurts..."

"If anyone wants to introduce you to someone in the future, you should refuse them openly. Do you understand?"

"You're kidding. I'm either busy reviewing or busy with the pharmaceutical factory all day long. I don't have time to meet the person I introduced you to, so just rest assured."

Qin Zhao was really worried, and secretly thought that he had to let everyone know that Ning Ying had a partner, so that those who were thinking about her would give up.

Seeing that it was snowing outside and the road was slippery, Ning Na wanted to ask Qin Zhao to stay overnight, but he refused. He could date Ning Ying openly, but he couldn't let anyone talk about her behind her back.

Ning Ying lent him a bicycle and told him to drive slowly on the way back to the guesthouse.

When leaving, Qin Zhao deliberately rang the bell and said loudly: "Xiaoying, I'm leaving. You can go back now."

After he shouted this, almost everyone on the street knew that he would not stay overnight at Ning Ying's place, and those who were waiting to watch the fun turned off the lights.

After everyone left, Ning Na couldn't help but comment: "Xiaoying, Qin Zhao is so nice, you have to treat him well and not bully him."

Ning Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Sister, am I that fierce? How come after eating a meal he cooked, you become his sister?"

"What nonsense! Of course I'm close to you. I treat him well because I hope he can treat you well in the future. Besides, it's not easy to meet a good man. I hope you can cherish him."

"Got it. Can I lock Qin Zhao with you from now on?"

"Puh, puh, puh, spit now, what are you talking about on New Year's Day?"

Ning Ying had no choice but to do as she was told. Qin Zhao had already cleaned up the kitchen when he left, so the two sisters simply tidied up the table and chairs and went back to their room to sleep.

Ning Na talked in her sleep at night: "Mom, Xiaoying has found a good man, don't worry."

"I will take good care of her and make sure she is well for the rest of her life..."

Ning Ying poured her a cup of warm water and fed her two sips, then gently patted her back: "Sister, you will be safe and happy, and our lives will become more and more promising."

She has already made up her mind not to buy a house in Meicheng for the time being. Next year, when she is admitted to a university in Jingping, she will take her sister to Jingping, where the world is wider and there is more room for development.

The two sisters didn't have many relatives in the city so they didn't have to get up early to pay New Year's greetings. Plus, they were usually too busy to sleep in, so they slept until ten o'clock on New Year's Day.

Ning Ying got up, washed her face, and pushed the tricycle out. Ning Na rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Xiao Ying, where are you going?"

"Sister, I'm going to Shiheng Village. After all, I'm Ning Jiannan's child, so I have to wish him a happy new year, right?"

Ning Na had heard that Ning Jiannan had been unemployed for several months and even sold his old house. In order to fill the holes in his unit, he went to dig coal in an illegal brick kiln, but ended up breaking his leg. The coal boss only gave him a small amount of compensation, and his life was miserable.

My sister was obviously going to make fun of me by paying New Year's greetings at this time. She hated Ning Jiannan so much that she immediately said, "The roads are slippery due to the snow. So go slowly. When you come back at noon, call Qin Zhao to come over for lunch."

"Come on."

Ning Ying rode her tricycle to Shiheng Village and heard that Ning Jiannan not only sold out his family's old house, but also sold Gao Dalong's house. The whole family was squeezed into a dilapidated shack at the entrance of the village.

As soon as Ning Ying stopped the tricycle, she saw a man sneaking out of the shabby shack, tying his belt as he ran. Then she heard the sound of Ning Jiannan smashing dishes and Gou Rili crying.
