A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

The news of Qin Yuanzheng's wife's pregnancy spread like wildfire throughout the entire military camp in just one morning, even reaching the neighboring garrison.

He was on duty in the mining area year-round, and news traveled faster than people.

As he walked along the road, soldiers and officers, both acquaintances and strangers, would frequently approach him, smiling and offering their congratulations: "Commander Qin, congratulations on the birth of your son!"

People in the military are honest and straightforward; they don't play games.

As soon as the congratulations were finished, people started stuffing money, food coupons, and half-sacks of flour and millet into his arms.

They all saved up by being frugal and thrifty in their daily lives. No one hid anything from them. They all shared one principle: the birth of a new member in the regiment commander's family was a great joy for the entire regiment.

When the news reached the ears of the regiment's political commissar, he took it even more seriously.

He somehow acquired a plump and robust dairy goat, personally led it, and delivered it all the way to Qin Yuanzheng's office.

"Qin Regiment, ah..."

The political commissar handed the sheep rope to him, beaming with joy: "Keep this sheep. Once it produces milk, it will nourish Comrade Xiao Qiao, and the child will benefit too."

Qin Yuanzheng looked at the docile sheep in front of him, then turned his head to look at the corner of the office where several lively chickens and a goose stretched its neck to peck at people whenever it saw them. The originally spacious and tidy office was now crammed together like a temporary livestock shed.

He was momentarily speechless, feeling both touched and amused.

Normally everyone struggles to make ends meet, and they only get to eat meat during holidays. But now, chickens, geese, sheep, grain, money, and coupons are all being sent to him all at once.

He knew in his heart that these things were the heartfelt wishes of his comrades who had gritted their teeth to express their gratitude.

Normally, with discipline in mind, Qin Yuanzheng would never accept it under any circumstances.

But when he thought of his young wife who was newly pregnant, his heart softened.

I don't mind suffering a little hardship myself, but I absolutely cannot let my wife suffer along with me.

He will remember these favors and repay them slowly in the future.

The most important thing right now is to give my wife some good nourishment.

Qin Yuanzheng called over his orderly and told him to take home whatever could be loaded onto the truck first.

But raising live animals like chickens, geese, and sheep is inconvenient and doesn't have the space at home.

After thinking it over, he simply instructed the orderly to temporarily house them in the shed that had been built for retired military dogs in the mining area.

The military dog ​​kennels are spacious and sturdy; just a small area needs to be partitioned off. It's winter now, and we can't leave these animals freezing outside.

After finally dealing with wave after wave of congratulatory people, Qin Yuanzheng had just picked up his thermos to take a sip of water, intending to quietly read a report, when the office door was pushed open again.

Guan Wenjun walked in, looking travel-worn and with a rather unpleasant expression.

Qin Yuanzheng didn't even lift his eyelids, but he was already getting impatient.

Guan Wenjun walked straight to his desk, staring intently at him, and cut to the chase: "Comrade Xiao Qiao is pregnant?"

Qin Yuanzheng slowly raised his eyes, his tone indifferent: "What's it to you?"

Guan Wenjun immediately raised his voice, as if he had seized upon some enormous pretext: "Of course it concerns me! This child is mine!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yuanzheng's face suddenly darkened, his eyes instantly turned cold, and his hands unconsciously clenched as he stared at Guan Wenjun: "Is it yours? Say it again?"

Guan Wenjun: "..."

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Guan Wenjun quickly changed his tune, speaking rapidly like spilling beans: "I meant, I'm the child's godfather! Godfather!"

Qin Yuanzheng looked at him speechlessly and said, "Get lost."

Guan Wenjun didn't leave; he was feeling uneasy.

Back then, Qin Yuanzheng stole his girlfriend.

Now, he can't even steal Qin Yuanzheng's girlfriend.

Moreover, Qin Yuanzheng already has a girlfriend.

The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became. After holding it in for a while, he deliberately provoked Qin Yuanzheng, saying, "No, I'm telling you, Qin, don't be fooled. You're infertile, how could Xiao Qiao possibly be pregnant?"

Qin Yuanzheng was in a good mood today, so he wasn't angry when he heard this. He deliberately said to Guan Wenjun, "She was originally infertile, but because I tried hard enough, Xiao Qiao got pregnant. What, are you envious? If you're envious, go find a wife yourself and work hard. Stop staring at other people's wives all day long, understand?"

Qin Yuanzheng's words were also laced with a threat.

Guan Wenjun used to keep an eye on Qin Yuanzheng's wife because of some old grudges.

Guan Wenjun still has his bottom line. He's just a bit sarcastic, but if you really asked him to do anything to Qiao Lanshu, he probably wouldn't dare.

But now, Qiao Lanshu is pregnant.

If Guan Wenjun dares to go to Qiao Lanshu again and say those nonsense things, Qin Yuanzheng will not be polite.

Guan Wenjun stared at him for a long time, feeling both angry and frustrated, before finally storming off.

When he left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After sending Guan Wenjun away, Qin Yuanzheng didn't waste a moment. He grabbed his military cap and rushed to the headquarters.

With his mind on picking up his wife from get off work, he handed over all the matters that didn't require immediate decision-making to the deputy regimental commander and Staff Officer Lin, and headed straight for the headquarters right on time.

But to his utter surprise, the news of Qiao Lanshu's pregnancy spread even faster than he had, reaching headquarters before he could.

Logically speaking, it's normal for military officers' family members to get pregnant. The birth of a child is a joyous occasion, and there's no need to spread rumors about it all over the place.

But if this happens to Qin Yuanzheng, it's a different story.

That's not a small matter, it's a big one.

It's not just a happy occasion, it's big news.

When the news of his marriage to Qiao Lanshu first came out, the entire military region, along with the surrounding factories, discussed it for almost half a month, and the buzz never died down.

Now that my wife is pregnant, judging by this trend, the gossip will definitely continue for at least six months.

When Qiao Lanshu has a child in the future, she will probably be gossiped about for another six months.

Just thinking about it sent chills down Qin Yuanzheng's spine.

Upon entering Commander Li's office, the first thing he noticed was the bulging bag of rice on the corner of the table, weighing a full fifty jin!

As soon as he walked in, Commander Li said with a smile, "Yuanzheng is here. Take this bag of rice back with you later for your wife. Doesn't she like rice? I specially had it prepared for her."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

He was exasperated: "Sir, how did you find out about this?"

Commander Li laughed heartily: "It's all over the military region now, it's hard for me not to know."

Qin Yuanzheng was completely speechless.

Commander Li then asked with concern, "Was it a misdiagnosis before? Why don't you go and get a thorough check-up, just to be on the safe side?"

Qin Yuanzheng shook his head gently, his tone calm: "I'm not going, I don't have time."

At this point, whether or not to conduct an inspection is no longer important.

The baby has finally arrived; it's an unexpected joy, a blessing from God.

He didn't ask for anything; he just wanted to stay peacefully with Qiao Lanshu and the little life in his belly, and live a stable life.

Seeing that he seemed distracted and almost lost in thought, Commander Li didn't press him to stay any longer. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, we can talk about these trivial matters tomorrow. It's getting late, you should go home now."

As soon as he said that, Qin Yuanzheng's previously somewhat gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately stood up, straightened his back, and gave a proper military salute: "Thank you, sir! Goodbye, sir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly turned back.

First, he unceremoniously picked up the 50-pound bag of rice, then glanced around and casually stuffed the two large, round oranges on Commander Li's desk into his pocket.

Commander Li sat in his chair, watching his series of fluid movements, and remained stunned for a long time.

He was truly speechless. Those oranges were a gift from one of his longtime subordinates to him, and now another of his former subordinates had taken them.

They didn't even leave him the orange peels.
