Chapter 1680: Overdue Return... Expulsion!
"Lin Sheng is really unreliable, isn’t he? As a soldier, he actually managed to injure a sentinel and run away, and that’s not all, he even secretly ran off with his future father-in-law and fiancée! Was this guy here to be a soldier, or to cause trouble?" Zhao Dong thought this kid wasn’t bad, quite clever, and wanted to groom him.
Now look at what he’s done.
Qin Jian’s cheek muscles twitched a few times, and his fists gradually clenched: "Didn’t you just say that he and Mu Mian were caught by Mu Qiankun?"
"Yes!"
"Since they were caught, that means Lin Sheng still wants to leave Mu Qiankun, doesn’t it?" Qin Jian said.
"Commander, I don’t know what you think, but I have absolutely no good impression of this guy! I mean, he’s a grown man, and he’s been in the army for some time, hasn’t he? He hasn’t learned any less than anyone else. It baffles me, both he and Mu Mian are young, strong, fit individuals. Even if they couldn’t beat Mu Qiankun one-on-one, the two of them together should not have had a big problem. But what did the villagers end up seeing? After being discovered by Mu Qiankun, the two of them didn’t even put up a fight before they just followed him back home."
I just don’t understand what Lin Sheng is doing!
It’s almost like he’s a coward.
"Are the villagers certain there was only Mu Qiankun alone? Or were there others?" Qin Jian remembered An Hao telling him that there were several tall and strong men who wanted to catch Mu Mian and take her back.
So, he was thinking that Mu Qiankun had help.
"Certain. I also found it odd, so I asked the villagers again, and it was only Mu Qiankun by himself," Zhao Dong was very sure.
"OK. I’ve got it," Qin Jian’s forehead vein throbbed as he waved Zhao Dong away, "Go on with your work!"
"But, about Lin Sheng..."
"Give him three months. If he doesn’t return by then... dismiss him!" Qin Jian slowly said.
"Yes!"
.....................
After finishing a day of training, Qin Jian returned home, where the fatigue from his whole body vanished the moment he saw his two little treasures.
The children were already over seven months old and had learned to sit.
Both little ones were chubby all over, so fat that their necks were almost invisible. At first glance, they looked as if they were just two little heads perched directly on shoulders, incredibly comical and cute.
The weather was already summer, and it was very hot.
The two little ones could not lie still on the bed anymore; even adults couldn’t bear the hot bed sheets.
An Hao remembered that as a child, her mother often spread a straw mat on the ground for her and An Ping to lie on and play.
When her body touched the mat, the heat would dissipate a lot.
So, An Hao also took out the household straw mat, spread it on the wooden floor in the living room, topped it with a thin layer of padding, and then placed the two little ones on it to play with toys.
In this way, she didn’t have to worry about the children falling off the bed and hurting themselves.
Meanwhile, An Hao sat not far from the children, peeling an apple with her head bowed.
After peeling, she seriously used a fruit knife to slice the apple into strips, each piece of apple roughly the same size and shape.
She was so serious about cutting.
But she didn’t notice that both little ones’ eyes were fixed on the apple and the knife in her hands, drooling from the corners of their mouths.
