Chapter 456 Dad~
Wang Jianli had just returned from the army, carrying large bags of luggage as he went home.
His family was very excited to see him, and kept asking him all sorts of questions, worried that he wasn't doing well outside.
But after just one night, she started pressuring him to get married and began using all her connections to introduce him to various potential partners.
"Jianli, you're not getting any younger, it's time to settle down and start a family."
"Yeah, Jianli, tell your parents what kind of girl you like, and they'll introduce you to someone. You're a good catch, and you're a soldier. Right now, a lot of young women in the compound are eyeing you."
"Just tell us what kind of girl you like, and we'll find her for you. As long as the girl you like doesn't have any major problems, your dad and I will agree. We can take advantage of your vacation to get the wedding done soon."
Faced with the pressure from his parents and various relatives to get married, Wang Jianli felt extremely annoyed and frowned.
"Dad, Mom, I just got back. Let's talk about this later."
"I've only been in the army for a few years, can you give me some time to cool off? I don't want to get married yet."
In his current state, rushing into marriage would be irresponsible to the girl and to himself, and he really isn't prepared.
Besides, he's not the only son in the family, so there's no need for him to carry on the family line. If things really don't work out, it's fine if the marriage doesn't happen.
"Okay, okay, your parents won't pressure you. Think it over carefully. When you've figured it out, your parents will find you a partner. We promise to handle things well for you."
The elderly Wang couple sighed, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. However, faced with their only son born in their old age, they had no choice but to compromise.
Wang Jianli suddenly remembered something else, and his tone became serious.
"By the way, Dad, could you please stop making me call Qin Yunzhou 'uncle' from now on? It's a generational difference. You're older than his own father, yet you still have the nerve to call him brother. It makes me feel inferior to him."
He had never been taken advantage of like this in his entire life. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have cared, but it had to be Qin Yunzhou.
Retired Factory Director Wang sighed, feeling that his youngest son was nothing like him.
"Look at you, you don't understand. I call him brother so that I can build up some connections for you. You're both in the army now, but he's a political commissar, a much higher position than you."
"Don't blame me for being blunt, but to be honest, you'll never catch up to her in this lifetime. Besides, with your personality, you're not cut out for building relationships with her. Since you can't do it, then this old man has to step in."
"If anything happens in the future, we can use this relationship to ask them for help."
To be honest, he had lived most of his life, and his youngest son couldn't see any conflict between his son and Qin Yunzhou.
Otherwise, the two wouldn't have such a tense relationship every time they met.
However, in life, there are some things that should be ignored, so just pretend you don't see them.
When building relationships with people, one must take a long-term view and not be short-sighted.
Factory Director Wang didn't actually expect to get anything from Qin Yunzhou. The two had become sworn brothers because they got along well.
Furthermore, he could see that Qin Yunzhou was an excellent person in terms of knowledge, speech, and other aspects. Even though he had fallen on hard times, it was only temporary.
Given the opportunity, Qin Yunzhou will surely soar to great heights and have a bright future.
Now it turns out that his judgment was correct.
Now that his youngest son has joined the army, if he encounters any trouble, he might be able to ask Qin Yunzhou for help.
Wang Jianli was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time.
……
on the way home.
As the sun sets and the sunlight shines brightly, the cool evening breeze dispels the daytime heat.
At this time, every household is starting to cook dinner, and some houses are already emitting wisps of smoke and the faint aroma of cooked food.
Qin Yunzhou even went out of his way to buy some cooked food that Xu Sui liked, and specifically asked them to add extra chili peppers.
Thinking about the hot weather, he went to buy some more soda. With so many people in the family, one bottle definitely wouldn't be enough.
He simply took all the soda and popsicles from the supply and marketing cooperative home and even got a big cloth bag to pack them all up.
The main problem is that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have much of this stuff left, and there are a lot of elderly people and children in the family, so it's barely enough to go around.
In those days, soft drinks were a rare commodity, and most people couldn't bear to drink them. They were much more expensive than meat, and ordinary families simply couldn't afford them.
All of these things combined are worth about half a month's wages for an average worker.
Qin Yunzhou bought them all without blinking, instantly attracting the attention of many people in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Many children's eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at him with admiration.
"Look, look! That soldier uncle is amazing! He actually bought all the soda and popsicles."
"Uncle is so rich."
The other children also stared intently at Qin Yunzhou, looking at him as if he were an idol.
Normally, it's considered quite a feat for them to be able to eat an ice pop, which would also attract the envy of the surrounding children.
I never expected this uncle to be so amazing, buying so many popsicles and sodas all at once.
I wish they were this uncle's children.
It was getting late, and Qin Yunzhou was in a hurry to get home, so he didn't pay attention to the children.
But when he was carrying the soda and popsicles he had bought, intending to go home...
Before he even left the supply and marketing cooperative, Yao Yao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his leg, calling him "Daddy."
"Daddy, Daddy, I want to drink orange-flavored soda!"
Yan Yan also came over, hesitated for a moment, and then followed her younger sister's example and hugged Qin Yunzhou's other leg.
"Dad, I want a red bean flavored popsicle."
Yao Yao immediately added, "Daddy, Baozhu and Jinbao also want some; they're all in the back."
That's great, with Dad here, they won't have to pay anything.
The other children in the supply and marketing cooperative saw Yan Yan and Yao Yao rush up and hug the soldier's legs, and get popsicles and sodas just by calling him "Dad".
The children were all stunned.
So this is how you get sweet soda and popsicles?
Some people couldn't resist any longer and rushed forward as well.
"Daddy, Daddy, I want one too!"
"And my dad, I want a soda too!"
Instantly, the supply and marketing cooperative was filled with the sounds of children surrounding Qin Yunzhou and calling him "Dad."
Qin Yunzhou: "..."
The other adults: "..."
……
Xu Sui didn't know where Qin Yunzhou had gone. She originally wanted to go out and check, but she couldn't find him, so she simply stayed at home and waited.
They waited and waited, but Qin Yunzhou did not return.
Instead, a pretty young woman carrying a rattan box appeared.
