The 1970s: Military Family Beauty

Jiang Furong had no idea what was happening at home, and was still hiding at the door of Qian Yuyan's house, holding the note, trying to find a place where she could be seen by her owner but not discovered by passers-by.

A soldier came over on a bicycle and asked her what she did.

After learning that she was the nanny Qian Yuyan had just hired, he looked at the note in her hand and told her that he was Qian Yuyan's colleague: "Captain Qian had to go out for something, so he asked me to pick up the child and take him to the guesthouse to have someone take care of him for one night."

Jiang Furong immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

Asking someone to help take care of Xiao Baoying for one night means that Qian Yuyan cannot go home at night because of something.

"How do the people at the guesthouse take care of the children?" Jiang Furong was curious and asked, "Who is Captain Qian's man?"

The man said, "I'm from the same hometown. I work as a waiter at the guesthouse. I'm on night shift and I can help look after the baby."

The guesthouse is not within the wall of the family compound. You have to go out from the gate of the living compound and walk a few hundred meters to the west.

The guesthouse is mainly used to receive relatives who come to the army for business. The facilities are very simple. The waiters working in the guesthouse are basically family members or relatives. The management is not very strict. As long as it does not interfere with the normal working order, the responsible team leader will turn a blind eye to anyone who brings their children to work.

Jiang Furong had almost no impression of the guesthouse, she only knew that it was outside the compound.

She wanted to win her favor: "Please take this note to Captain Qian and tell him that Xiao Baoying will sleep at my house tonight. He was very well behaved today and ate very well."

After all, Qian Yuyan is a very particular person. She disinfects everything she eats with boiling water, so I approve of her hygienic habits.

If we let the little Baoying stay in a guesthouse for one night, will he get upset if he eats some unclean food?

Xiao Baoying is her little god of wealth, so it’s more reassuring to see him with her own eyes.

The man patted the child seat in front of the bicycle and said, "I specially found a seat here, but now it's no longer needed. I'll be leaving now. Captain Qian is waiting for my reply."

After saying that, he pedaled away and disappeared into the night.

The alley was quiet, there were no street lights, and the neighbors didn't have the habit of leaving their doors open. Curtains were hung on the windows, so even if the lights were on, not much light could be seen.

Jiang Furong walked out in the dark relying on her memory of the time she came here, sighing in her heart that the big house was not only big, but the road in front of the door was also smoother.

When he arrived at his doorstep, Hu Xiuqing's bicycle was leaning in the corner of the porch.

Jiang Furong paused, took a half step back, stood in the shadows, and thought about how to deal with the situation when she entered the room.

She had already taken the job of nanny on her own initiative, and now she had decided to let little Baoying stay at home overnight. When she walked in, would Hu Xiuqing say she disagreed?

If she disagrees, how will she solve it?

She didn't care about the harsh words Hu Xiuqing said, but her grandmother and aunt did care and couldn't accept it.

After thinking for two minutes and rehearsing the conversation in her mind, Jiang Furong stepped onto the stairs and pushed open the door.

There were only two people at the dinner table. Hu Xiuqing was eating while feeding Jiang Guoqing spicy soup.

Seeing Jiang Furong come in, Hu Xiuqing raised her hand and threw the spoon in her hand at her: "How dare you come back!"

Jiang Furong didn't dodge. She let the spoon hit her clothes and then fall to the ground. She didn't pick it up and stared back at Hu Xiuqing coldly.
