Chapter 291 Their Father
The other family members who had only recently joined the military unit immediately asked, "Cuihua, do you know this Xu Sui?"
"Now everyone in the residential compound is saying she's a college graduate, and many people respect her now."
After all, in this day and age, even a vocational school graduate is a rare talent, let alone a college graduate.
Especially in their residential compound, many of the family members are from the countryside, and many of them are illiterate.
Wang Cuihua rolled her eyes. "Pah, what kind of college student is she? When she was admitted to the military arts troupe, she was just a high school student. Later, because of her bad reputation and questionable conduct, she got married in a hurry."
"The performing arts troupe didn't want her because of her bad reputation. They just kicked her out. Someone like her is hardly a college student. She's probably just making things up."
Someone raised a question: "That's not right, these words weren't said by Xu Sui, but by her husband, Political Commissar Qin."
"Someone like Political Commissar Qin wouldn't lie to us, would he?"
Zhang Xiaoxia pouted, "Yeah, Cuihua, you've got it wrong. Political Commissar Qin wouldn't lie. He's my man's superior. My man said Political Commissar Qin is a good person."
"Don't you dare slander that couple here."
As soon as she said that, Wang Cuihua immediately objected. She stood up abruptly and said, "What are you saying? What do you mean I slandered Xu Sui? If you don't believe me, go out and ask around and see what Xu Sui's reputation was like back then."
"If someone like her can become a college student, then I can be a college student too."
……
The next morning, Xu Sui rode her 28-inch bicycle to work again.
Qin Yunzhou then took the two children to school.
The military primary school is very close to the family compound.
Yan Yan and Yao Yao each carried a small schoolbag.
Yao Yao insisted that Qin Yunzhou hold her hand, and the two little braids on her head swayed back and forth like two little butterflies.
They had only gone halfway when the two children suddenly spotted a man with a child sitting on his shoulders not far away.
It was obvious that the father was carrying his child on his shoulders, and the child was laughing happily.
Yan Yan and Yao Yao stopped in their tracks, unable to move, their eyes fixed on the other person, filled with envy.
The next second, the brother and sister both looked up at Qin Yunzhou and started calling him "Dad".
Yao Yao, in particular, was quite lively. She blinked her eyes, spoke in a coquettish tone, and clung to Qin Yunzhou's hands, swaying them back and forth.
"Dad, my brother and I want to ride on your shoulders too."
Although Yan Yan only called out "Dad" once, his eyes were fixed on Qin Yunzhou without blinking, his longing almost overflowing. His little face was tense, full of seriousness and expectation.
He also grabbed Qin Yunzhou's hand and wouldn't let go.
Qin Yunzhou followed the two children's gaze, paused for a moment, and said, "Okay, but we have to do it one at a time."
He crouched down and looked at the two children. "Which one of you wants to go first?"
He could actually carry two at once, but for safety reasons, he does it one at a time.
Otherwise, if something happens, his wife will hate him to death.
Yan Yan spoke first, "Little sister, you go first."
He is the older brother and should be considerate of his younger sister.
Of course, more importantly, he wanted to ride on his father's shoulders to the school gate so that more people could see that he also had a father.
Completely unaware that her older brother had ulterior motives beyond just giving to her, Yao Yao smiled sweetly, "Brother is so good, I love you the most."
Yan Yan remained expressionless and said, "You're welcome."
Qin Yunzhou hadn't guessed what his son was thinking. He genuinely believed his son was being modest towards his sister, so he patted his little head approvingly.
"Okay, after Dad carries your sister, then he'll carry you."
Yan Yan nodded obediently.
Soon, Qin Yunzhou squatted down, hoisted Yao Yao onto his shoulders, and held her firmly with both hands to prevent her from falling.
"Hold on tight, Yao Yao."
Yao Yao nodded obediently, "Okay, Daddy."
It was her first time sitting on her father's shoulders. Being up high made a difference; the air felt fresher, and she could see so much more.
Qin Yunzhou carried his daughter on his shoulders to school, his expression softening considerably.
Actually, she's not heavy at all. Her usual training is much lighter. Besides, she's his own daughter, so even if she were a little heavier, he would still find her very light.
She even complained that her daughter ate too little, only half a bowl of rice per meal, when she was still growing and should eat more.
Yan Yan, carrying her little schoolbag, walked beside the two of them with her short legs, attracting a lot of attention along the way, as well as envious glances from some other children.
When we were about halfway there.
Qin Yunzhou remembered that he had a son who was waiting, so he put his daughter down.
"Yaoyao, it's your brother's turn."
Although Yao Yao was a little reluctant to leave the feeling of sitting on her father's shoulders, she didn't cry or make a fuss, and nodded obediently.
Qin Yunzhou put his daughter down and then steadily carried his son on his shoulders.
"Hold on tight, Yan Yan."
He treats his daughters and sons equally well, and he doesn't favor one over the other.
There's no rule that older siblings must always give way to younger siblings, or that older brothers must always give way to their younger sisters.
In Qin Yunzhou's view.
The older brother can give way to the younger sister, and the older sibling can give way to the younger sibling, but this must be the children's own choice, not something forced upon them by their parents.
Although he had a comfortable life since childhood, with no worries about food or clothing, there were indeed such examples around him.
Because parents always expect the older children to give in to the younger ones, they can't treat them equally, which may lead to the children growing up not being like family members at all, or even worse than strangers.
If you educate your child well, he will naturally learn to be considerate and take care of his younger sister; there's no need for adults to ask him to.
Although Yan Yan is calm and doesn't like to talk, he was still very excited when his father carried him on his shoulders for the first time, and his eyes sparkled.
Soon, we arrived at the school.
We encountered many children along the way, and their eyes were all fixed on Yan Yan, who was sitting on her father's shoulders, with envy in their eyes.
Yan Yan and Yao Yao both noticed the gazes of the other children. The siblings unconsciously straightened their chests, raised their heads, and boldly let those people see them clearly.
