Chapter 719 Soldiers Are Handsome
In this way, she could help lighten his burden. It made a lot of difference.
“All of them acted wisely after seeing the results.” During summer break, the parents were full of worry when they sent their children to attend Qiao Nan’s class. Some of them even hinted to Qiao Nan to prepare homework for their children.
They were worried that their children might forget everything that they had learned at the Qiao family’s residence. “By the way, given today’s situation, Qiao Nan, are you sure you are not going to change your career path to be a teacher? Even if you find being a teacher at school tiring and troublesome, what you are doing now will work as well. You can be a private tutor. In my opinion, you can earn more as a tutor than a teacher at school if you are good.”
“Don’t try to lure me into being a tutor. I am not merely after money.” Qiao Nan shook her head firmly. Tutoring others was only a way to earn her university tuition fees. It was just a transition period.
She would never change her career aspiration.
“Nan Nan, you and Shi Qing can do some reading first. There is no way to rear chicken at home. I have to slaughter it now. We will have dinner later than usual tonight.” Qiao Dongliang was already dripping with sweat from bringing in the food. He wielded a knife in his hand and charged toward the chicken.
Qiao Nan said, “Okay, Dad. You can take your time. I suppose Director Shi will be late today. Shi Qing and I… I am not hungry.” Shi Qing just had two apples. She must not be feeling hungry. She only needed to let her father know that she was not hungry.
“Alright, don’t waste your time here. You should do your reading.” Qiao Dongliang went to slaughter the chicken after replying to his daughter.
“What is this?” Shi Qing, who had already entered Qiao Nan’s room, had some papers with her. After checking that Qiao Dongliang was not around, she came out of the room to show Qiao Nan the papers.
“Have you forgotten about it? These papers were sent to my house last time by Zheng Liang. Fortunately, you are the one, instead of my father, who noticed them today.” Otherwise, there would be trouble.
Shi Qing nodded to show that she understood. “Well, where did Qiao Zijin get so much money to enroll in college? I always thought that Qiao Zijin and your mother were so poor that they did not even have money for their underwear.”
“She is lucky.” In the previous life, she toiled her guts out for Qiao Zijin. She wondered who rendered help to Qiao Zijin and gave her financial aid in this life.
“Did Brother Zhai order Zheng Liang to continue with the investigation?”
“I told Brother Zhai there is no need for that. Now that I know that Qiao Zijin has enrolled in a college and has paid the tuition fees, I do not wish to care or ask about other matters.” If she knew, she would be bothered by it constantly.
Actually, Qiao Nan still felt uneasy about things related to Qiao Zijin. It seemed that she was still affected by what happened in her previous life. Her name alone, ‘Qiao Zijin’, seemed to be like a yoke on her shoulders. Even though it was nonexistent, she could feel its weight on her shoulders all the time.
Once it was tugged, it would be terrible.
“It’s good that you know what you are doing.” Shi Qing no longer made other comments. “It’s better to burn these papers. If Uncle Qiao reads them, it may stir up trouble. Uncle Qiao has never given up on these two people. He still treats them as his family.”
It was better for Qiao Nan that Uncle Qiao did not know anything about Qiao Zijin’s latest news, no matter whether it was good news or bad news.
“That may not be the case. Let’s keep it.” Qiao Nan chuckled. Her father might think differently from others.
Although Qiao Zijin had settled her tuition fees, her father would not accept the fact that an unknown person paid for the tuition fees.
Qiao Nan tidied up and put aside the information regarding Qiao Zijin. It was Zhai Sheng who instructed someone to do some investigations.
She would leave it to destiny as to when her father would notice them.
If Qiao Zijin was smart enough to never appear before her again and minded her own business, she would ensure that her father would never know of this information in his life.
In the blink of an eye, it was the National Day.
During the seven days of the National Day holiday, Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua went back to the Zhai family’s residence. But they did not look to be in a good mood.
Because of Wei De, both of them ended up in quarrels and serious conflicts.
Zhai Sheng went to the Qiao family’s residence to look for Qiao Nan and saw ten young children sitting at the Qiao family’s residence.
“Teacher Xiao Qiao, this is…” They had been taking lessons at the Qiao family’s residence for a long time. This was the first time they saw this man. “Is he a soldier?”
Zhai Sheng, who looked smart in his military uniform, was the envy of all the boys. They could not wait for Zhai Sheng to lend them his uniform and hat to wear.
“My… friend.” Qiao Nan blushed.
“Boyfriend?” The children at this age were most imaginative; they were at a sensitive age. Therefore, at the mention of friends, they all had the look as if they knew what was going on.
Qiao Nan’s face turned grim. The children nowadays were too mature for their age. “Brother Zhai, I am giving lessons to the students. There is half an hour before the lesson is over.”
“I will take a stroll and come back half an hour later. I have something to tell you,” Zhai Sheng replied solemnly. The junior high school students dared not behave impudently in front of him.
The boy who teased Qiao Nan sat upright. He held his breath, fearing that he would garner Zhai Sheng’s attention.
After Zhai Sheng left, several students patted their chests out of fright. “It’s frightening. Are all the soldiers so grim-looking? It’s as if they can silence the enemies with a glance.” It was unbelievable.
“Now you know to be fearful. Watch what you say in the future.” Qiao Nan gave them a lecture. “I believe all of you should have heard that soldiers are the most adorable people in the world. All of you must show respect for them. Do you understand?”
Qiao Nan realized that not only must she impart knowledge to the students, but she must also teach them the right way of thinking and conduct, as well as talk to the students about politics.
The boy came to his senses after a while. “Teacher Xiao Qiao, the big brother from the People’s Liberation Army is so handsome. When I am older, I want to be a soldier. The military uniform is awesome.” The most important thing was that the big brother of the People’s Liberation Army had a cool and suave expression!
He was the masculine image that all the boys had been looking up to.
He had steely body and eyes as cold as the guns. He was swift as the leopard as well. He was simply dashing!
Qiao Nan clasped her forehead in exasperation. It seemed they did not hear a single word that she had said just now.
