After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 341, Episode 0369: Torturing yourself is the stupidest thing to do.
“We haven’t seen each other since then. For the first two years, Han Ge was mainly focused on training, so we kept in touch quite frequently. But later, Han Ge became busier and busier, and we kept in touch less and less. Sometimes we could only exchange letters once or twice a year.”

Huo Han's military branch is special. Even before he goes on a mission and is only in training, his location is already a secret, and he doesn't have a fixed address for communication. After he starts going on missions, he becomes even more 'unpredictable', and sometimes he can't be contacted even once a year.

But this doesn't affect their brotherhood. If anything happens, just let them know, and they'll do anything without hesitation if they receive the message.

When he got married, his comrades who were also getting married were all in a hurry, afraid that the wedding supplies on the island would be snatched away by others. They either made reservations in advance or went to check them out every day. But he was the only one who wasn't nervous at all.

There's nothing he can do; he has a good brother.

Look, his telegram only had four words: "Marriage for help." His brother immediately understood what he meant and even prepared three turns and one ring for him, making him save face in front of his wife.

"Are we going to the same place? If so, we should treat Comrade Huo to a meal."

Liu Qin was also very grateful to Huo Han, because with his help, her status among military wives was elevated by more than one level.

There is also comparison among military wives. Liu Qin, who is uneducated, from the countryside, and had been homeless before, belongs to the lowest class.

Qi Qiao held a high military rank, being a deputy regimental commander. He was also handsome and from Beijing. He was once a highly eligible bachelor in the army. Even the most beautiful girl in the performing arts troupe, who was only visiting the island for a performance, once declared that she would stay on the island with Qi Qiao if he wished.

Such a man would naturally be a preferred son-in-law or sister-in-law choice for many military wives and even military leaders on the island.

It's not that no one has introduced anyone to Qi Qiao, but he has refused them all, saying he doesn't want to date right now. If he really can't refuse, he says he has a fiancée, an arranged marriage by his grandfather.

If anyone else suggested a childhood betrothal, everyone would say it's a remnant of feudalism, but Qi Qiao's grandfather is Old Qi.

Although no one introduced him to anyone else, everyone felt uneasy. It was one thing for Qi Qiao to not have a girlfriend, but now that he was getting married, many people would inevitably compare his potential partner to the people they had wanted to introduce to him.

Liu Qin is not the female protagonist in a period novel; she doesn't have the protagonist's halo. She's just a pitiful person born and raised without any extraordinary encounters. Apart from being decent-looking, she really can't compare to those other people in any other way.

Given Qi Qiao's circumstances, anyone willing to introduce a potential partner to him would be of decent means. The best match would be a college graduate already working in an administrative unit, while the worst would be a primary school teacher.

As for Liu Qin, she didn't know many characters.

Now, can we understand why everyone is so hostile towards Liu Qin?

Liu Qin had no money in her pocket because she didn't have a diploma and couldn't find a job after joining the army. So when they got married, the other women getting married at the same time all prepared their own wedding supplies to some extent. Only Liu Qin, although she had been running around for the wedding arrangements, everyone knew that every penny she spent came from Qi Qiao.

Although they had the most complete wedding ceremonies of all, it only enhanced Qi Qiao's image. In the family compound, Liu Qin was still seen as a woman who could only depend on Qi Qiao for survival, and there were even rumors that she shamelessly clung to Qi Qiao.

Liu Qin was afraid of affecting Qi Qiao, and she also felt inferior. She never told Qi Qiao about the grievances she suffered, and gradually developed depression.

After two miscarriages, her depression worsened, and she attempted suicide several times. If it weren't for Aman by her side, Liu Qin might not exist today.

Qi Qiao realized the seriousness of the situation and, after taking her to see a doctor to no avail, sought help from Huo Han again.

Huo Han wasn't really sure what to do in this situation, but he had Fu Zhiyi by his side. Fu Zhiyi's aunt was a psychologist who worked in the military, counseling soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. Out of respect for Huo Han, Aunt Fu made a special trip to the island, and after understanding the root of Liu Qin's problem, she taught Qi Qiao how to solve it.

Liu Qin's problem boils down to one thing—a lack of self-confidence.

In the past, after her grandparents passed away, she received almost no kindness except from Aman and Qiqiao, who were not very intelligent. Due to her environment, she developed a self-loathing that she herself was not very clear about.

She felt that there was something wrong with her, which was why people didn't like her;
She also felt that she was her nemesis, so normal people who were good to her did not live long, and her two children also died because of her nemesis.
She was afraid that Qi Qiao would also be cursed by her, but she couldn't bear to give up this warmth.

She had no trust in herself, felt that all the problems stemmed from her, hated herself, and felt that her existence was a burden and a harm to everyone who was good to her.

She was conflicted, and she was in pain.

Aunt Fu's advice to Qi Qiao was to rebuild Liu Qin's self-confidence.

Liu Qin is uneducated, so teach her; she has no diploma, so let her take the exam; she feels inferior to others, so let her surpass those around her in some aspect.

Surprisingly, this was not an easy task. It required not only the help of others but also Liu Qin's willingness to overcome the challenges on her own.

Fortunately, the result was good. With the help of Qi Qiao and the leaders of the army, and with Liu Qin's diligence and hard work, she not only obtained her junior high school graduation certificate in less than two years, but also obtained her English Level 5 certificate.

No one expected that someone who could recognize less than a hundred characters would have such a talent for languages.

Liu Qin has now found a job as a translator for a newspaper. Not only are her hours flexible, but her salary is sometimes higher than Qi Qiao's, making her unique in the residential area.

Liu Qin, who was once looked down upon and almost everyone thought was unworthy of Qi Qiao, is now unworthy of him. On the contrary, many of Qi Qiao's comrades envy him, not only for marrying such a golden egg, but also for not having to help support his family.

"Maybe next time, Brother Han probably won't be available this time."

Qi Qiao sighed regretfully.

Although he didn't ask this question, it was obvious that Brother Han had a mission and should get off at the next stop.

Liu Qin also felt it was a pity. Comrade Huo had helped them so much, and they still hadn't had a chance to thank him. It was such a rare opportunity, yet...
However, she knew that soldiers had missions to fulfill and could not be disturbed, so she did not persist.

Qi Qiao was right. Sure enough, when they arrived at the next stop, Huo Han and his men hurriedly escorted the people off the train.

Lin Yuexi knew nothing about anything here, and no one would be so idle as to tell her.

Her project has entered its most critical stage, and her daily schedule is so tight that she has to squeeze in sleep every day.

Not just her, but all the researchers involved refused to close their eyes and rest until they were completely exhausted and could not hold on any longer.

It's a common sight to see someone suddenly collapse while working and be carried back to rest.
