Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Chapter 198 Good News

Xu Huaian has been gone for more than half a month and there has been no news at all.

Although Zhang Lanxiang didn't say anything, she looked outside the yard from time to time.

She was sewing with her hands, but her mind was not on it at all. Occasionally, the fine stitches would be crooked, but she was completely unaware.

The morning sun shone into the yard. Zhang Lanxiang got up early, tidied up a little, and then walked to the gate of the yard without moving the hoe in her hand.

A Miao was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, and the kitchen was filled with heat and the aroma of food.

She skillfully flipped the spatula, and soon, a simple but delicious breakfast was ready.

A Miao walked out of the kitchen with breakfast and was about to invite everyone to eat, but she saw Zhang Lanxiang standing at the gate of the yard.

A Miao frowned slightly, feeling doubtful.

She looked at Zhang Lanxiang for a while, then turned back to the house and decided to wake Shi Qingqian up and tell her about her aunt's strange behavior these days.

A Miao tiptoed into the room and saw Qing Qian still sleeping soundly.

She walked gently to the bedside and called softly, "Qianqian, it's time to get up."

Shi Qingqian woke up slowly and looked at A Miao with sleepy eyes.

Ah Miao quickly helped her sit up and said, "Qianqian, Auntie has been acting strangely these past few days. I just saw her standing at the gate again, still holding the hoe, but she didn't move at all. She's been looking out the door these past few days, and I don't know what she's thinking."

Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, then she understood.

She knew that Zhang Lanxiang must be worried about Xu Huaian.

She sighed softly and said, "Ah Miao, Mom is worried about Huai'an. Huai'an has been gone for so long and there is no news at all. Mom must be worried."

Although Ami is a very advanced intelligent robot, she cannot fully understand human emotions.

She tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion, and looked at Shi Qingqian and asked, "Qianqian, why is your aunt so worried when your brother-in-law is fine?"

In her procedure, if a person is certain that they are safe, there should be no anxiety.

Shi Qingqian looked at Ah Miao's innocent yet confused expression and patiently explained, "Ah Miao, human emotions are very complex, especially the feelings a mother has for her children. Your concern for Huai'an isn't just because you're worried about his safety. Even though you know he's probably not in danger, you'll still feel uneasy if you don't hear from him for a long time."

Ah Miao nodded, not quite understanding.

The two walked out of the room and came to the yard.

Zhang Lanxiang still stood quietly at the door, looking outside.

Shi Qingqian walked gently to Zhang Lanxiang and said softly, "Mom, don't stand here. Ah Miao has prepared breakfast and Xiao Douzi is up. Let's go eat together."

Zhang Lanxiang came back to her senses, looked at Shi Qingqian and Ah Miao, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, let's go eat."

The four of them sat down at the table. Xiao Douzi opened his round eyes and looked at Zhang Lanxiang and said, "Grandma, why are you standing at the door?"

Zhang Lanxiang touched Xiaodouzi's head and said gently, "Grandma is waiting for your uncle."

Xiaodouzi nodded and said, "Grandma, my uncle is the best. He will definitely be back soon."

Zhang Lanxiang listened to Xiaodouzi's words, and a glint of relief flashed in her eyes. She said softly, "Well, Xiaodouzi is right. Your uncle will definitely be back soon."

Shi Qingqian picked up a bun and put it in Zhang Lanxiang's bowl, saying, "Mom, please eat something. Don't be hungry. Huai'an will feel bad knowing that you are worried about him like this."

Zhang Lanxiang picked up the bun and took a bite, but it tasted bland.

After breakfast, Zhang Lanxiang unconsciously walked to the gate of the yard and looked into the distance.

Shi Qingqian and A Miao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

……

At noon, the sun shines into the yard through the gaps in the leaves, and a simple but warm meal is placed on the dining table.

Shi Qingqian, Zhang Lanxiang, A Miao and Xiao Douzi were sitting around the table eating lunch.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Sister Zheng's voice came: "Sister Qingqian, are you home?"

The sound broke the silence in the yard.

Shi Qingqian stood up and walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard, only to see Mrs. Zheng standing at the door with a smile on her face.

"Sister Qingqian, I just picked some vegetables from the field and brought some to you," said Mrs. Zheng, handing the package in her hand to Shi Qingqian.

Shi Qingqian quickly thanked him: "Sister Zheng, you are so polite. Come in and sit down."

"No, I'm here to bring you some good news."

Mrs. Zheng's face was filled with excitement. She couldn't wait to say, "Sister Qingqian, I have great news for you! My husband, Lao Liang, just received the news that Commander Xu has passed the selection. When he comes back and finishes the rest of the work, he will be transferred to the Northern Military Region and promoted to the commander of the Special Operations Brigade!"

The family of four were stunned when they heard this, and then their faces showed disbelief and surprise.

Shi Qingqian stood up excitedly, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister-in-law Zheng, are you serious? Did Huai'an really pass the selection?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded vigorously, her eyebrows dancing with joy as she said, "Of course it's true! My old Liang said it himself."

"I heard Huai'an was amazing this time. He beat everyone else in almost every event and took first place. His performance, wow, really shocked everyone else."

Xiaodouzi also clapped his hands excitedly: "Wow, uncle is so awesome!"

Although A Miao couldn't fully understand this joy, she could feel everyone's excitement.

Knowing that Xu Huaian was about to be promoted, Zhang Lanxiang was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She paced back and forth in the yard, muttering to herself, "Great, great, the third child is really promising."

Sister Zheng continued, "Sister Qingqian, just wait for Huai'an's glorious return. Your family will be even more glorious in the future."

Shi Qingqian held Sister Zheng's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Sister Zheng, thank you so much for bringing us this good news. When Huai'an comes back, I will definitely thank you."

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said with a smile, "We're all neighbors, why be so polite? I just saw you were looking forward to news of Huai'an every day, so I hurried to tell you the good news. Well, I won't disturb your happiness anymore, I'll go back first."

Shi Qingqian and Zhang Lanxiang accompanied Mrs. Zheng to the gate of the courtyard. Looking at her leaving back, their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation.

Back in the yard, Zhang Lanxiang seemed to have endless motivation. She smiled and said to Shi Qingqian, "Qingqian, let's get ready quickly. When Huai'an comes back, we'll make him a hearty meal."

Shi Qingqian nodded with a smile on her face.

From that day on, Zhang Lanxiang no longer looked outside the yard anxiously as before, but instead was full of anticipation and joy.
