The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

The next morning, Chang Ning took a mirror to her room and looked at herself.

Chang's father and eldest brother didn't go to work either; they were both sitting in the main room. Chang's father looked sullen, and Chang Jun was also somewhat helpless. He had only found out last night that his younger sister had gone on a blind date with a man and was coming to their house today.

"Mom, you should have told Dad and me about this sooner!"

They were caught completely off guard.

"What's the use of telling you? Worry more about yourself. You're 24 and don't even have a boyfriend. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?!"

"But we can't do that."

He already knew about Tao Hongdou's situation. To be honest, he wasn't too disappointed. Over the years, he had treated Tao Hongdou like a younger sister, so he didn't feel sad or upset. It was just that what she did was indeed unethical.

But I can't just steal someone else's blind date!

Yan Shuqin said, "Don't flatter yourself. Your little sister isn't doing this for you; she's fallen for you on her own!"

Chang Jun was speechless for a moment.

Father Chang asked, "Was that really a regimental commander?"

"It should be correct, otherwise Chen Baicui wouldn't have dared to make up such a big story!"

And yesterday, she bought a dress for her daughter, spending thirty-six yuan in one go. These days, apart from those with high positions, who can earn that much money?

If you're really unsure, just call and ask later; you'll eventually find out his identity.

"If this really happens, will Ningning still have to go with the army?"

Yan Shuqin was taken aback; she had never really thought about this question.

"Then what should we do? Should we just give up?"

Father Chang said, "Let's take a look when the person arrives. If they're not fit, then forget it."

Yan Shuqin's heart pounded. She entered Chang Ning's room and immediately scolded, "Look at yourself! You're always looking in that broken mirror. Do you think you can see flowers or blossoms in it?"

"Just tell me if it looks good or not!"

The girl in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, a face like a peeled egg, jet-black hair, and delicate features; it was impossible to describe her as ugly.

Chang Ning covered the mirror on the table. "Mom, did my older brother make you angry again?"

Yan Shuqin said irritably, "Your older brother didn't make me angry, it was you!"

"What did I do now? I didn't do anything!"

Yan Shuqin sighed as she looked at Ningning's quirky expression. "Ningning, have you ever thought about what would happen if you really married that person? You'd have to go with him to the army."

Chang Ning said, "I have thought about it."

She didn't think it was a big deal at all. "Isn't it good to go with the army? I've lived for twenty years and I've never left our county, let alone left the province. Going with the army is a good opportunity to go out and see the world!"

Yan Shuqin: "One county isn't enough for you? You want to go out of the province too? When you're all alone out there, if you get bullied, no one will help you!"

"Mom, what are you saying? Who would bully me for no reason? Besides, I can take the train back. Mom, have you ever taken a train? Jiang Linghan said it takes 16 hours to get from here to their unit!"

Yan Shuqin: "..."

"You come out first, they'll probably be here soon."

The two went outside and just then saw someone coming in, riding a 28-inch bicycle. It was Jiang Linghan.

As soon as Chang Ning saw him, she hid behind Yan Shuqin. Jiang Linghan glanced at her briefly and quickly greeted her, "Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother, hello, I'm Jiang Linghan!"

Father Chang replied, "It's hot outside, come in and sit down."

Jiang Linghan unloaded everything hanging on the bicycle, and Yan Shuqin immediately said, "It's enough that you're here, why bring anything else!"

Everyone understands polite talk; if he really dared to come empty-handed, we wouldn't even invite him to lunch today.

Jiang Linghan said, "This is my first visit today, it's just a matter of courtesy, and also a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Auntie!"

He brought 2 jin of fruit candy, 2 cans of malted milk powder, 2 cans of fruit, 2 jin of steamed egg cake, honey-glazed pastries, and 2 bottles of Moutai.

In addition, he handed Yan Shuqin two catties of beef and two catties of pork belly, saying, "I saw yesterday that Ningning likes to eat beef, and since they happen to have some on sale today, I bought some."

Yan Shuqin clicked her tongue in amazement. Wow, this is incredibly generous! Beef isn't cheap these days, it's almost a dollar a pound. "You bought too much. I won't touch this, you can take it back with you when you leave!"

"Don't!"

Jiang Linghan said, "Auntie, it's hot now. I've been riding here in the sun the whole way. If I take it back, it will probably spoil. Just consider it an extra dish for lunch today, so as not to waste it."

Yan Shuqin couldn't refuse any longer, so she said, "Alright then."

"Please come inside and sit down!"

Then he called out, "Ningning, come here and cut a piece of watermelon for Xiao Jiang!"

"Hey!"

Chang Ning responded and ran past Jiang Linghan.

Jiang Linghan paused for a moment, then went inside.

The three men sat down in the main room. Chang's father asked first, "Xiao Jiang, this is the first time we've met. We don't know the specifics, but we've heard you're a regimental commander. You'll have to tell us more."

Jiang Linghan sat up straight. "Uncle, I joined the army at the age of sixteen and officially served after graduating from military academy. I was promoted to regimental commander thanks to the leadership's appreciation. As for my performance in the army, I'll give you a phone number so you can call my leader and ask him. That would be more objective."

He knew exactly what the other person meant; they were simply worried he was a fraudster.

Chang's father said, "Xiao Jiang, you are too modest. You are so young to become a regimental commander, so your abilities must be extraordinary. Otherwise, no matter how much the leaders value you, it would be useless!"

But he didn't say he didn't want a phone call.

Just then, Chang Ning came in carrying a tray with sliced ​​watermelon on it. The watermelon had been chilled in the well water and was now cool and refreshing. She placed the tray on the table and whispered to Jiang Linghan, "Eat watermelon!"

He then said, "Dad, eldest brother, you should eat too!"

Jiang Linghan said, "Thank you, Ningning."

Chang Ning immediately blushed and ran away.

Chang Jun had never seen this side of his sister before, and tried to make amends by saying, "My little sister is a bit shy."

Jiang Linghan said, "I know, brother."

Chang Jun: "..."

I suddenly felt like I was having a heart attack.

Yan Shuqin worked in the kitchen for over an hour and finally prepared a huge table of dishes, so plentiful it was almost like celebrating the Chinese New Year!

I had stir-fried beef with cilantro, stir-fried pork belly with green peppers, and I also killed a chicken to make braised chicken with potatoes. Early in the morning, I even asked someone to exchange it for a black carp, so I made stewed black carp with tomatoes. In addition, there was stir-fried chicken giblets with pickled chili peppers, stir-fried eggs with chives, dry-fried green beans, hot and sour cabbage, pan-fried tofu, and cucumber salad.

Ten dishes in total, enough for five people. Yan Shuqin didn't dare to cook too much, as vegetables don't keep well in the hot summer and would spoil if not eaten.

During the meal, Chang's father poured a pot of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and filled the cups for himself and Chang Jun. Yan Shuqin poured rice wine for herself and Chang Ning.

Jiang Linghan stood up first: "Auntie, you've worked so hard today, let me toast you first!"

Yan Shuqin beamed with joy. It would be a lie to say she wasn't tired. She quickly raised her glass and said, "Don't be shy, don't be shy. Eat and drink well today!"

Jiang Linghan toasted Chang's father and Chang Jun again, and finally raised his glass to Chang Ning: "Ningning, this glass is for you."

Even though they were at home, why did he act more at ease than she did? Chang Ning couldn't understand it. She picked up her glass and clinked it against his, asking softly, "Are you alright?"

She remembered that the liquor had a high alcohol content.

Jiang Linghan also whispered, "Don't worry."

He then drank it all in one gulp.
