Chapter 2098: No b.a.l.l.s
After that, Jiajia magically realized that after being taught by Qiao Nan, those points that she had found it hard to remember in the past suddenly became easier now and she no longer forgot about them. Jiajia said that the reason why she did so well in English in the middle school examinations, scoring a high score of 119 after deducting one mark from her a.s.signment, was all because of Qiao Nan.
Based on this, Jiajia understood that although Qiao Nan had low academic qualifications, she had a high IQ. Her cultural standards were also not directly proportionate to her education level. A person with low academic qualifications but high cultural standards like Qiao Nan was actually more formidable than those with high academic qualifications but low standards.
With such an outstanding pair of parents, even though the younger siblings weren’t born yet, Jiajia believed that these three children would definitely become the three smartest babies in the world and they would have promising futures.
In order to protect her dignity as an older sister, she had to take advantage of the opportunity that she was born ten years earlier and acquire knowledge first. In this way, when the younger siblings were born and at an age where they didn’t know anything, she could coax them and become the best sister in their hearts.
After a round of notifications sharing such a great piece of news, Zhai Sheng, as the father, was the last to know. When Zhai Sheng received this piece of good news, he felt different. The soldiers under him were the first to realize this.
“What’s wrong with the chief today? Why do I feel gooseb.u.mps all over when I see him smile? I remember the last time I saw him like this was when we were newly recruited to the team and were tortured…” Upon thinking about the painful past, the veteran soldier covered his face. The past was unbearable and it wasn’t worth mentioning.
“Wait. That means to say someone is going to be unlucky this time?” It was nothing for the smile of a demon instructor to flash past. What was more important was that it was scary. Was someone going to be unlucky every time the chief smiled? He hoped that the unlucky person this time wouldn’t be him.
“It shouldn’t be, right? Isn’t the chief married? Don’t you think that ever since the chief returned from his recuperation, his temper became much better? The powerful combination of the yin and the yang is really something. I’ve long said that our chief just needs a woman to manage him. The chief’s wife is really a n.o.ble presence. It’s a pity that all along, we could only hear Xiao Xu sharing how good a woman the chief’s wife was. We didn’t have a chance to see her for ourselves and could only listen to Xiao Xu bragging over there.”
When he came back this time, Xiao Xu became the most popular person in the army. Xiao Xu even bragged that he could be considered as the matchmaker between the chief and his wife. If not for him, they wouldn’t have met in Qingshui Town.
It’s fine that Xiao Xu didn’t mention this. Once this was mentioned, Xiao Xu suffered a beating and he couldn’t retaliate. For what matter was he beaten up? It was naturally because of Chen Jun.
At that time, Qiao Nan rented a house from the Xu family. Chen Jun came knocking on the door, looking for trouble, and Qiao Nan’s safety was not guaranteed. This was definitely Xiao Xu’s responsibility. Xiao Xu nearly couldn’t protect the chief’s wife who wasn’t the chief’s wife then, almost causing her to get into an accident. This was Xiao Xu’s biggest responsibility. Who else should be beaten up if not him?
It was also because of this incident that the chief successfully tricked the chief’s wife back home for the new year and the two of them had a lot of time and interaction opportunities to improve their relations.h.i.+p. However, this was what Xiao Xu should do. It couldn’t be considered his credit. As such, it was inevitable that he was beaten.
“Chief?” Xiao Xu was confused as to why Zhai Sheng called him over. After Zhai Sheng completed his recuperation, Xiao Xu naturally returned to the army as well. However, to Xiao Xu, who had not returned home for three years, it was already a rare opportunity for the Xu family that he was able to return to Qingshui Town for half a year to accompany Zhai Sheng.
Furthermore, it was an important and glorious task to be able to accompany the chief and take care of him. Xiao Xu was happy. However, after returning to the army, Xiao Xu didn’t feel that he was different from others just because of that period of time. He also didn’t feel that Zhai Sheng should promote him just because their relations.h.i.+p became better.
After returning to the army, Xiao Xu returned to his original position honestly. He treated the brothers in the army the same way as he did before. As such, when he heard that the chief was looking for him, Xiao Xu thought that there were some issues with his recent performance in the army due to the lack of training for half a year and seemed particularly nervous.
After Zhai Sheng felt this, he smiled. Xiao Xu couldn’t help but hit himself. “Don’t be nervous. I called you over to give you a treat. A few months later, you even have red eggs to eat.” Zhai Sheng was really quite grateful to Mother Xu for her decision to get Qiao Nan to take care of him initially.
He was fated with Qiao Nan. However, there needed to be a person like Mother Xu who bridged them together. Both were indispensable. Of course, Mother Xu only interfered in this matter because Xiao Xu was her son and she wanted to help her son resolve difficult work issues.
This mother-son pair could be considered as his and Qiao Nan’s matchmaker.
If Xiao Xu hadn’t returned to report to the army back then, Zhai Sheng would have invited Xiao Xu to their wedding when Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan got married. Although Xiao Xu didn’t get to attend their wedding, Zhai Sheng specially got someone to send their wedding candies to Xiao Xu’s family in Qingshui Town.
“Red eggs? What’s the joyous occasion?” Xiao Xu couldn’t react in time. He had already eaten the chief’s wedding candies. He also knew that the chief had sent a bunch of wedding candies to his home. However, hadn’t he already eaten them? Why were there still eggs this time? Wait a minute. Red eggs? “Chief, is our army going to have a ‘small’ chief soon?”
“Yes.” Xiao Xu’s words were what Zhai Sheng wanted to hear. “It’s all thanks to you and your mom in the past that I was able to meet Nan Nan. Now, Nan Nan is pregnant and I’m about to become a father.”
“That’s great!” Xiao Xu clenched his fists. He would see how those people from other districts dared to say that their chief was a man with no b.a.l.l.s in the future.
Zhai Sheng didn’t get married until he was forty-five. This was not just Zhai Sheng’s matter alone. A man at Zhai Sheng’s age was not only unmarried, but there also wasn’t a decent woman around him. Qiu Chenxi had married Zhai Sheng for three years and they didn’t have any children. Qiu Chenxi cheated on Zhai Sheng.
Some of Zhai Sheng’s compet.i.tors deliberately released malicious rumors at the critical points of their compet.i.tion. They said that the reason why Zhai Sheng’s wife cheated on him and why Zhai Sheng chose not to remarry or have another girlfriend again was because he didn’t have ‘b.a.l.l.s’.
