War Military: From 1978

Chapter 270 Meeting the Mother-in-Law!

"Hmm~ Doesn't that girl look a bit like Factory Director Qin's daughter?"

"It seems so! But didn't she go to join the army? Her mother said she went to the front lines to fight the Vietnamese. How come she's back now, and not even wearing her uniform?"

"I hope nothing bad happened and he ran home."

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from her mother that her unit withdrew from the front line and they're supposed to be back soon!"

"Why is there a man with you when you come back from the army? Did you find a girlfriend while you were in the army?"

In the residential area of ​​a machinery manufacturing plant in Y City, Chu An and Qin Wanqiu arrived.

All eyes in the family quarters were focused on this.

They whispered among themselves, and some even greeted Qin Wanqiu directly.

"Is this Factory Director Qin's daughter?"

"Yes! Hello, Auntie!" Qin Wanqiu replied with a smile.

She actually didn't know these women at all.

She grew up in a military compound, but her father was transferred here a couple of years ago, so she moved here with him.

"Did Xiao Qin bring her boyfriend back?"

"Mmm~" Qin Wanqiu did not deny it.

Because of this, the women in the neighborhood were obviously discussing it even more intensely.

Chu An was carrying several bags and felt his scalp tingling from being stared at by these middle-aged women.

This scene is so damn familiar.

In my past life, when I went back to my hometown for the Lunar New Year, there was a group of middle-aged women like this in the streets and alleys at the entrance of the village.

This is the largest intelligence organization in the countryside, and also a group of people who can ruin your reputation.

Unexpectedly, even after being reborn and finding himself in a place that isn't even a rural area, he still encountered a group of people even larger than the intelligence organizations at the entrance of a rural village.

"What's your name, young man?"

"Didn't Xiao Qin join the army? Is this young man also a soldier?"

One question after another came in quick succession. As Chu An and Qin Wanqiu answered selectively, they also quickened their pace in perfect unison.

About seven or eight minutes.

"Huh~
"Phew, finally home!"

Qin Wanqiu put down her luggage in front of a detached two-story white brick house with a small courtyard, still feeling lingering fear.

"Hehe, it is a bit scary!" Chu An turned his head and looked around.

There are even some older women around who are pointing and gossiping.

"Come on! Let's go inside!" Qin Wanqiu took out her keys from her bag and opened the courtyard gate.

She had already told Chu An about her home situation when she had nothing to do on the way.

Her family consists of her parents now.

The house was allocated by the factory.

"My parents are definitely working at the factory. You sit down and take a nap, I'll go find them at the factory!"

Upon entering the house, I found it to be very simple, without any lavish decorations, but very clean.

There are mahogany tables and chairs, and a 12-inch black and white television in the east corner.

This was the first time Chu An had seen a television set since his rebirth.

It's twelve inches, smaller than his computer screen in his previous life.

"Hehe, this is a television. Turning it on is like playing a movie; it can project images."

I hadn't bought it when I joined the army. My parents wrote a letter saying that my dad specifically wanted to buy it when we were fighting this year.

My dad wants to watch the news from the front lines on this TV!

Qin Wanqiu saw Chu An staring at the TV and assumed he didn't recognize it, so she smiled and explained.

"But I don't know how to open it either. If you want to see it, wait until I call my parents back!"

"It's okay, I'll go with you. I don't feel comfortable sitting alone in your house with no one else around!"

"That works, but aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm sleepy! Aren't you the same? But there's no rush to rest!"

"Alright, let's go together!"

The two had just finished discussing their plans and were about to leave when they suddenly heard footsteps outside. "Daughter!"

A woman who bore a four or five-point resemblance to Qin Wanqiu and was dressed in a clean and presentable canvas factory uniform appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Behind him followed six or seven middle-aged women who were watching the spectacle.

Never underestimate those idle middle-aged women of this era.

Their enthusiasm for watching the drama unfold is far greater than you might imagine.

No wonder Qin Wanqiu didn't even have to call for help herself.

Seeing that Qin Wanqiu had returned, especially since she had brought a boy with her and admitted that he was her boyfriend, was a great relief.

Driven by their burning passion for gossip, they immediately set off on a jog to fetch help.

By now, word has spread throughout the factory that Deputy Factory Director Qin's daughter, who was serving in the military, has returned, and she even brought her boyfriend back with her.

"Xiao Chu, we don't know when you will be back."

This girl didn't give any definite answer, let alone say that you would come too.

"There's not much to eat at home, so I'll just have some apples. You can have some first, and I'll go buy some watermelon or something later!" In the living room, Qin Wanqiu's mother politely brought over washed and even sliced ​​apples.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Chu An stood up somewhat awkwardly to express his gratitude.

This is the first time in two lifetimes that I've visited my future mother-in-law's home, and it's been so abrupt. The worst part is, there's not only my mother-in-law whom I'm meeting for the first time, but also several other middle-aged women who are just there to watch the drama unfold.

He was genuinely a little nervous.

Fortunately, Qin Wanqiu, who was standing nearby, came to Chu An's rescue.

"Mom, we've been on the train for four days and four nights."

Chu An didn't rest much on the way. Let him rest for a bit first; he needs to go back tomorrow and get a good night's sleep!

"Leaving tomorrow? Why the rush?" Qin Wanqiu's mother was very surprised.

"Mom, Chu An's leave to visit his family isn't as long as mine, and he has a lot of things to do at home. He also has to go to military academy soon, so we need to hurry up!"

"Go to a military academy?" Qin Wanqiu's mother was surprised again.

Qin Wanqiu's father was a soldier, and a high-ranking one at that, so she naturally knew what it was like to attend a military academy.

But she knew that the middle-aged women standing around, watching the drama unfold, didn't understand: "Xiao Chu, didn't you join the army with Xiao Qin? Why are you going to military school again?"

"Chu An made great contributions on the battlefield. Now that we are withdrawing from the front line, he has been recommended to study at a military academy!"

These words were still spoken by Qin Wanqiu.

The group of middle-aged women who followed her stayed at home, which annoyed her.

But she couldn't just kick them out, and she also knew that if she didn't say anything and kept a low profile today, these older women might start gossiping about her and Chu An as soon as they left the house.

"Oh my, Comrade Chu is truly a great hero!"

"Yes! That's amazing! You made great contributions on the battlefield. You must have killed a lot of Vietnamese soldiers, right?"

"It's about protecting our country!" Chu An scratched his head and pretended to be clueless.

He didn't want to say more.

The more you talk to these intelligence agents, the more outrageous the rumors become.

Chu An naturally wouldn't tell them that he was originally a cadre and that he had received honorary titles or anything like that.

"Okay, okay~ Xiao Chu, I'll go tidy up the house first, you can rest for a bit later!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqiu's mother couldn't help but smile.

A son-in-law should naturally be as successful as possible.

Although she was very satisfied with Chu An at first sight.

The young man is so handsome.

But as a mother of a girl, and someone who's been through it all, she knows that good looks can't put food on the table.

In fact, she was just worried that her daughter might not have chosen a partner based solely on appearance.

it's good now.

This worry was dispelled.

She understood what it meant to be recommended to military academy for outstanding battlefield achievements; this was definitely not just a pretty face.

At that moment, she had no idea that her daughter had hidden a big surprise for her.

What kind of embroidered pillow?
This is a son-in-law who has received two first-class merit awards and the title of honorary hero!
