"Are you okay?" Jiang Yunchen patted Qiao Xiazhi's back considerately.

Qiao Xiazhi waved his hands and recovered after a while. "It's okay. I choked on my saliva."

Jiang Yunchen asked again: "How long will it take to get home?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "We'll be at the brigade soon, but it'll take another 20 minutes to get home."

Jiang Yunchen: "Then hold on for a while longer."

Qiao Xiazhi looked puzzled: "What are you insisting on?"

Jiang Yunchen looked at Qiao Xiazhi: "Aren't you thirsty?"

He thought that she had just been swearing at that guy in the restaurant for a long time, and they had been talking about "blind dates" for a long time, so she must be thirsty and choked and coughed.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi said nothing. He just assumed that she was thirsty, otherwise how would she explain why she choked.

After that, Jiang Yunchen didn't speak to Qiao Xiazhi again, worried that she would become thirstier if she talked too much, so he just held Qiao Xiazhi's hand quietly all the way.

Soon, the car drove into the brigade.

The villagers who were busy working in the fields stood up curiously and looked at the military vehicle driving towards them.

"Why is there another military vehicle in our brigade? What happened?"

"That's impossible. If something happens, the police should be the ones to come. Is it someone's child who has been in the army and is back?"

"Oh, could it be that my boy Dayong is back? That's impossible. Why would he come back during such a rare festival?" Wang Cuihua suddenly said.

Her son also went to the army two years ago, but he only came back during the Chinese New Year. It didn't make sense for him to come home again at this time. She felt uneasy and worried that something had happened.

"Go back and take a look, and you'll know."

When the villagers reminded her, Wang Cuihua handed the wooden basin of fertilizer to others, and then hurried out of the rice field and ran home.

As a result, before she got home, she saw the military vehicle parked in front of Qiao Qiping's house. Wang Cuihua walked into the yard curiously, and then said with a smile:

"Just now I saw this military vehicle coming towards our brigade from a distance. I thought that my brat Dayong had returned, but it turned out to be a big mistake. Fang Mei, who are these two comrades?"

In fact, Fang Mei just saw her daughter coming back from the field, and then was called back by her daughter. Not only her, but the whole family has returned.

Everyone had just started to understand what was going on, and before they had time to figure out what was going on, Wang Cuihua arrived. She didn't know how to explain to the two comrades.

At this time, Jiang Yunchen stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello, auntie, my name is Jiang Yunchen, and I am Xia Zhi's boyfriend."

As soon as she said this, Fang Mei almost dropped the brown sugar water in her hand.

Wang Cuihua was also stunned, then she said with a smile: "Oh, so it's Xia Zhi's boyfriend."

"Xia Zhi, this is great. It hasn't been long since you brought another person back. When did you say that? How come you brought someone back quietly without any rumors?"

After she finished speaking, Wang Cuihua realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "Okay, then you and your family can chat slowly, I will go back to work in the fields first."

"Won't her aunt come in and have a glass of water?" Zhu Shizhen shouted.

Wang Cuihua didn't dare to go in to drink water. If Qiao Xiazhi got angry and started a fight with her, she wouldn't be able to defeat him. She just said, "No, no, there's a lot of work to do in the fields. I don't want to drink any more."

After saying that, he quickly ran back to the field.

When the villagers saw Wang Cuihua coming again, someone asked in confusion, "Cuihua, isn't your Dayong back? Why are you here again?"

Wang Cuihua: "What a misunderstanding! Xia Zhi from the Qiao family came back with his girlfriend, who is in the military."

After hearing this, the villagers became excited again.

"Oh, a soldier in the army, that's safe. Soldiers are different from ordinary people. We felt that Zhao Zhiqing was not good enough when we saw him before. He couldn't carry anything with his shoulders or hands. What was he doing here? It's better for him to be a soldier."

"That's not the case. Soldiers are responsible and look safe."

"Hey, Cuihua, have you seen Xia Zhi's girlfriend? What is she like?"

"He's tall and handsome. Anyway, he's good-looking. He's many times better than Zhao Zhiqing. The previous Zhao Zhiqing was no match for him. Xia Zhi had good taste this time and found a good one. But Xia Zhi is also good-looking now. The two of them look very well matched standing together, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Wang Cuihua said.

"What about the conditions? What do you think of the conditions?" someone else asked.

Before Wang Cuihua could speak, someone echoed:

"The conditions are definitely excellent. We all drove here, didn't we?"

"Cuihua, your son is also a soldier. Do you know what kind of soldier can drive a military vehicle home?"

Regarding this matter, Wang Cuihua has the most say.

When her son came back from the Chinese New Year this year, he told her a lot about things in the army.

So she said, "Da Yong came back and told me during the Chinese New Year that only those who can drive a military vehicle out and back home have to be deputy regiment commanders."

"What about the salary? Is it also very high?"

Wang Cuihua: "I'm not sure about the salary. If you think about it, you can tell it's definitely not small. But high salary is also dangerous, and you have to go on missions frequently. Just now I thought it was my Dayong who came back, and I was worried that something had happened. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding, and I'm relieved that nothing happened."

"He's tall and handsome, he's also the regiment leader, and he gets a high salary. Xia Zhi has found a treasure this time. Zhao Zhiqing left, and a soldier came. Hahahaha..."

"Maybe we'll have meat to eat after a while."

"It's really hard to tell."

Before long, half of the people in the production team knew that Qiao Xiazhi had a new boyfriend, a soldier, tall and handsome. Compared to his previous boyfriend Zhao Zhiqing, his current boyfriend was really amazing.

There is definitely no problem for those who are in the military.

As for finding a boyfriend with a soldier, Qiao Xiazhi had already calculated that the whole squadron would know about it within the afternoon.

But she didn't intend to hide it.

The car has passed the parking lot, there is no point in hiding it, it is better to be open and honest. As long as you don't act like a bootlicker like the original owner, there is nothing wrong in being open and honest.

At the Qiao family's side, Fang Mei passed the water to Jiang Yunchen after Wang Cuihua left. Jiang Yunchen took the cup and said, "Thank you, auntie." Then he passed the cup to Qiao Xiazhi, "Weren't you thirsty just now? Drink first."

Qiao Xiazhi said: "This is what my mother poured for you. If I want to drink, I can just go and pour another glass. You are the guest, so drink first."

After saying that, Qiao Xiazhi went back to the house and poured himself a glass of water.

Then he looked at Jiang Yunchen and said, "Well, it's not too late to regret now."

Jiang Yunchen looked puzzled, "Why? I said I won't regret it."

Qiao Xiazhi: "Didn't you just hear what that aunt said? It hasn't been long since I brought another partner back. You don't understand the word 'again' here."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Fang Mei patted her daughter's shoulder anxiously, and then quickly explained for her daughter:

"Child, don't listen to what others say. Our Xia Zhi is not the kind of girl who acts casually. It was because she was young and ignorant before."

Jiang Yunchen: "Aunt, uncle, grandpa and grandma, don't worry, I can feel what kind of person Xia Zhi is. I don't need others to tell me what kind of person she is. I can see and feel it myself. I won't easily change my mind because of what others say."

"Although Xia Zhi and I have just started dating, we have known each other for several months."

"I originally wanted to come here to propose marriage, but because I was worried that Xia Zhi hadn't thought it through, I came here to visit grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt for the time being."

"Xia Zhi already knows my situation. I only have a grandmother at home. My parents died unexpectedly when I was ten years old. I joined the army when I was fifteen, and now I am a small regiment commander in the 13th District of the Northern Army. I have no plans to retire at the moment."

"Captain? Wasn't he deputy commander before? He was promoted so quickly?" Qiao Daguo looked surprised.

Jiang Yunchen explained: "This time, because the human traffickers' case was successfully completed and made great contributions, I was promoted."

After saying this, Jiang Yunchen looked at Qiao Xiazhi on purpose.

Because the credit was given to him by Qiao Xiazhi. Without her, the human trafficking case would not have been solved so quickly.

The police have been following this for two or three years but there has been no major progress. Every time they just catch a few small fry and crack down on them.

He closed the case in less than half a year, so it was only natural for him to be promoted from deputy group leader.

Qiao Xiazhi touched his ears, signaling Jiang Yunchen not to talk too much about this topic, and that he should just keep it to himself.

Jiang Yunchen naturally understood that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, so he would not say anything nonsense.

So the topic returned to his relationship with Qiao Xiazhi.

"If Xia Zhi marries me, I can apply for her to accompany the army. Xia Zhi can live in the family compound and do whatever she wants. I won't interfere with her doing what she likes."

"I know she is studying medicine on her own now. If she wants to, I will support her and pay for her tuition to study at a medical college. As long as she likes it and is willing, I will support her unconditionally."

In the 1970s in this parallel world, although there was no university system yet, students could still take the high school entrance exam or go to medical school after graduating from junior high school.

After graduating from the health college, you will have the opportunity to work in a health center or hospital.

You can be an apprentice and learn other professions, but doctors and nurses at that time must at least graduate from a medical college.

If Qiao Xiazhi wants to be a doctor and work in a big hospital in the future, he should go to this medical college while he is still young.

Unless she is just trying to kill time by studying on her own and at most will work as a nurse in the local clinic in the future, then it doesn't matter.

However, Jiang Yunchen said that it depends on Qiao Xiazhi's own wishes. If she likes him, he will help her arrange it.

Everyone in the Qiao family, including Qiao Xiazhi, was surprised that Jiang Yunchen had already thought of all these things.

Then they all turned their eyes to Qiao Xiazhi.

Qiao Xiazhi finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Anyway, let's just see it first, get to know each other, and then talk about other things. If we really get married in the future, it's not impossible to go to a medical college."

"Of course, even if we are not together in the future, I will go to study at this medical college by myself. I am already preparing now. I will register in the second half of this year. I will work hard to earn the tuition fees in the next two months."
