Chapter 452 9 Military Service in the 60s
When Tuanzi woke up to a stranger, she didn't cry or make a fuss.
She sat up abruptly, looked at Xie Qingyu lying on the inside, and felt relieved. Then she turned to look at Nie Shenyuan.
Seeing this, Nie Shenyuan also sat up, and the two of them, one big and one small, sat on the bed looking at each other.
Nie Shenyuan was afraid he would cry, so he didn't dare to move.
After doing this for a while, he didn't seem to be crying at all, so Nie Shenyuan gradually became bolder.
I reached out to Tuanzi to see if he would let me hug him.
Seeing that he made a move, Tuanzi also moved, but it moved towards Xie Qingyu, and almost climbed onto Xie Qingyu.
When Xie Qingyu opened her eyes, she saw Tuanzi face to face with her.
Upon seeing her wake up, Tuanzi immediately looked at Nie Shenyuan, as if to say, "I have a powerful backer now."
Tuanzi repeated it twice before Xie Qingyu understood what he meant.
She stood up and pointed at Nie Shenyuan, saying, "Tuanzi, this is your father. Don't be afraid. Your father will earn money to buy us delicious food."
Tuanzi looked at Nie Shenyuan with some confusion after hearing Xie Qingyu's words.
Of course he knows what a father is, but how come he doesn't know he has a father, just like other children?
Will I hit him?
Tuanzi stared silently at Nie Shenyuan.
Seeing that there was no fear in his eyes, Xie Qingyu got up from the bed and picked up Tuanzi. "Come on, let me wash your face first, and then I'll have your dad take you to buy some delicious food."
Hearing Xie Qingyu speak, Nie Shenyuan realized that he should have gone to buy breakfast, as there should still be food in the cafeteria at this time.
After quickly taking out his own things to wash up, Nie Shenyuan stood in the yard watching Xie Qingyu bend down to wash Tuanzi's face.
Xie Qingyu is very thin.
This was Nie Shenyuan's first impression.
Although he didn't remember it very well, he knew that Xie Qingyu wasn't this thin back then.
"Alright, take him with you. He hasn't met you before, so buy him some food to help him get to know you," Xie Qingyu instructed.
Then she went to wash her face, ignoring Nie Shenyuan who was stiffly holding Tuanzi.
Nie Shenyuan hadn't held a child in a long time, and although Tuanzi didn't move at all, he was still a little stiff.
Seeing Tuanzi looking at him, he forced a smile, "I... Dad will take you to buy food."
Nie Shenyuan stiffly carried Tuanzi out.
Xie Qingyu glanced at it and thought it was alright; at least she didn't complain about taking care of the child.
After washing up, Xie Qingyu started walking around the house to see if she was missing anything, but thankfully she managed to get it in the next few days.
Meanwhile, Nie Shenyuan immediately attracted attention after carrying Tuanzi out the door.
This is mealtime, and the soldiers living here are mostly deputy regimental commanders or higher. They are heading to the barracks now.
Then they saw Nie Shenyuan, who was usually all alone, stiffly carrying a small baby over.
"Whose baby are you holding?" someone familiar with Nie Shenyuan asked as they approached.
"Hey, this kid looks just like you!" The first to approach was Commander Zhao from the Second Regiment, who lived next door. "Wait, you've just been promoted, there's a problem with your conduct..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is Xiao Nie's son." Coach Lu had heard about this from his wife yesterday, and he didn't expect to run into him as soon as he went out, so he quickly came over to take a look.
"This kid is so good-looking!" Coach Lu wanted to pinch his cheeks after just one look.
"Hey!" Nie Shenyuan pulled back a little while holding Tuanzi, preventing him from getting his hands on her.
"You're being stingy. This kid is so obedient and not afraid of being pinched." Coach Lu persisted, but Nie Shenyuan stepped back again, preventing him from pinching him.
"We still need to buy food, Coach Lu, you should hurry up and get down to business." Nie Shenyuan said a few words and then left with Tuanzi.
Walking towards the camp, you can see many young soldiers training. Their slogans are loud, which immediately attracts Tuanzi's attention. He stares at them with great curiosity.
It wasn't until Nie Shenyuan had walked away that Tuanzi finally looked away.
People eat in shifts here. There aren't many people in the cafeteria right now; a few are just there to get their food.
Nie Shenyuan usually doesn't need to pack food when he eats alone, so this time he borrowed a rice container from the kitchen before getting his food.
"What's this?" The person serving the food also knew Nie Shenyuan and was quite surprised to see the doll in his words.
"My son." Nie Shenyuan had already said this several times on the way, so it came out naturally now.
"Your wife came to join you in the military? That's great!"
"Hmm." Nie Shenyuan gave a simple "hmm." His mind was still a little fuzzy. Xie Qingyu had been so natural this morning that he hadn't had a chance to ask them how they got here or if something had happened at home.
"Little one, what do you want to eat? Uncle will get it for you!" the soldier serving the food asked, looking at Tuanzi.
Tuanzi didn't speak, seemingly a little shy, but her gaze was fixed on the stewed tofu and meat.
"Here, have some more!" He ladled out a large bowl of food for me without saying a word.
This was the last group of people to come and eat. There were still some dishes left, so he filled their bowls to the brim and then gave them four large steamed buns as well.
“Your wife just arrived, and there’s nothing in the house yet. It’ll probably be a while before we can cook at home. We’re going to go and buy some food in a couple of days. Let’s see what you need so we can have them bring it back.”
"Okay, thanks." Nie Shenyuan carried Tuanzi in one arm and the rice bowl in the other as he went back.
The soldiers over there dispersed and immediately surrounded Nie Shenyuan when they saw him.
"Commander Nie, is this your son? He's so handsome."
"Come here, let Uncle give you a hug."
"......"
Several people surrounded him, intending to attack, but Nie Shenyuan dodged them.
"Don't scare him." By this time, Nie Shenyuan had noticed that Tuanzi hadn't said a word and didn't know why, but he was afraid that Tuanzi would be afraid of these strangers.
"Nie Shenyuan, who is this?" A group of pretty girls walked over, and one of them greeted Nie Shenyuan from afar, then asked him curiously.
She leaned closer to take a look.
Nie Shenyuan frowned and subtly moved a little further away.
"Weren't you on a mission? Whose child is this?" She turned to look at Tuanzi's face.
Several soldiers looked somewhat embarrassed when they saw them coming.
"Yu Lingling, are you going to rehearse? Is there a performance coming up soon?" A soldier hurriedly tried to divert her attention.
Everyone knows that Yu Lingling has liked Nie Shenyuan for a long time, and even Nie Shenyuan's rejection didn't help.
Even though Nie Shenyuan was already married, they had never seen anything sent from his family or him visiting home, so they were actually suspicious of his marriage.
Given Yu Lingling's special status, no one dared to say anything.
