Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: People Go Crazy
An Hao picked up the child and was about to feed him when the child, already full, stubbornly turned his little head away.
“Not hungry?” An Hao said softly. “Co on, be good and eat your al.”
The little fellow glanced at An Hao, but his head refused to rest against her.
anwhile, another was crying his heart out.
“Wrong one! Got the wrong one!” An Hao instructed the Qin family to quickly switch the babies, and then both little guys cald down.
“Right, have the children been nad yet?” An Hao asked. After all, they couldn’t always just call them both “little guys,” could they?
“Not yet. It’s better if you na them. Dad joined the army when he was very young and went off to war. He never read much. The nas he cos up with are always about patriotism or love for China, which mom has vetoed. You are the one who has read the most in our family, the one with the most ‘ink in the belly,’ so everyone agrees it’s best for you to choose the nas,” Qin Jian said as he chased mosquitoes away from the child.
“Well, I have thought of a few nas. Our children were born in September, in autumn. How about Ning Qiuchu and Ning Qiushi?”
“They sound too somber. Autumn is desolate; I don’t like that season.” Qin Jian rembered what the nurse had told him about the children’s birth.
At that ti, a ray of sunlight had spilled over the horizon onto the earth.
“Ning Chaoyang? Ning Chenxi?” Qin Jian felt his son was like the rising sun, brimming with light and hope.
“That’s nice,” An Hao nodded, “but doesn’t Chenxi sound a bit like a girl’s na? How about Ning Chenyang, Ning Chenguang? Together, they an ‘sunshine!'”
“Good,” Qin Jian agreed readily, “Our family’s brightness and hope.”
………………………
After taking a week’s leave, Qin Jian returned to the regint headquarters.
Today was the routine monthly eting, and officers above the company level had all gathered in the regint’s eting room.
As he entered, the eting room erupted like a pot boiling over.
“Commander, where have you been this past week? You didn’t show your face even once! This week’s affairs were all overseen by the division commander!”
“To command such respect, it could only be our commander!”
“Hey, hey, hey!” The gregarious and playful company commander loved to show off whenever there was an audience, “Have you guys caught a certain scent on the commander?”
“Scent? What scent?” The simple and honest company commander Tian Niu, taking the other’s words seriously, actually leaned in to sniff, “I don’t sll anything!”
“What do you an, nothing? Your nose must be blind! Can’t you sll anything!” the company commander chuckled, “Can any of you sll it?”
Everyone else knew what he was implying; they all bowed their heads, trying to suppress their laughter, not daring to make a sound.
Joking was all well and good, but no one would dare joke with the commander to such an extent. Casual teasing among the brothers in private was one thing, but to speak so irreverently about senior officers in a room full of them was going too far.
“Oh, stop beating around the bush,” insisted Tian Niu, ever the simpleton, demanding to know the whole story.
“The sll of milk!” the company commander burst into laughter.
Qin Jian’s forehead twitched; this rascal had no sense of ti or place and spoke with no sha.
Hearing this, Tian Niu inhaled sharply.
The brazen kid was courting death.
Those who hadn’t spent ti under the commander’s command truly didn’t know his thods.
