Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2012: Chapter 2005: Heartfelt Persuasion to Stay

”Ah, it’s nothing.” Yuan Yunong pulled the scarf around her neck higher, trying to cover the scar.

”Mom, I accidentally hit her.” Ning Chenyang finished treating the wound and came down from upstairs, saying.

”I’m really sorry.” An Hao now felt guilty.

”It’s okay! I was just trying to stop them and accidentally got a little scratch.” Yuan Yunong kept smiling.

She seemed not to mind these things at all.

”Ms. Yuan, I’m really sorry. I was so worried about the two kids earlier, I didn’t even notice that Yangyang had hurt you.” Zhang Yun said.

”It’s really nothing.”

”How about this, stay for a simple meal. It’ll allow us to express our apologies and gratitude.”

”I really shouldn’t...” Yuan Yunong felt it wouldn’t be right.

However, the whole family persuaded her, even Qin Jian invited her to stay for dinner.

After they insisted three or four times, Yuan Yunong felt it would be impolite to refuse, so she reluctantly agreed.

Because Yuan Yunong stayed, Zhang Yun specially added two more dishes.

When Ning Yibin returned, the family gathered around the table to start eating.

”Eat more, Ms. Yuan, don’t hold back.” Zhang Yun picked up some food with her chopsticks and put it in Yuan Yunong’s bowl.

”Feel at home here, don’t be reserved!” Ning Yibin said.

”Okay.” Yuan Yunong smiled and nodded in response.

While they were eating, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

An Hao got up to answer it, but after saying two sentences, she passed the phone to Qin Jian: ”It’s for you.”

Qin Jian quickly got up, took the call, and after just a few sentences, his expression turned serious.

After hanging up, Qin Jian went to the coat rack, took his military cap, and put it on.

”You all eat slowly, I have some matters to attend to at the base.”

When Qin Jian said this, everyone at home knew that something must have happened or it was an urgent mission.

Generally, they didn’t ask much.

Especially with outsiders present, they wouldn’t ask more.

This involved military secrets.

Especially after last time when they casually talked about something, and the staff at Nanguofeng intentionally listened, then passed it to An Hui, who sold it to an intelligence dealer, causing the information to spread widely.

This time, Qin Jian was particularly cautious, whether at home or outside, he wouldn’t mention a word more.

Regarding this mission of Qin Jian’s, Ning Yibin naturally knew about it.

Since Qin Jian didn’t bring it up when he returned, Ning Yibin naturally wouldn’t mention it either.

An Hao only noticed that Qin Jian’s schedule had been different from usual recently.

Moreover, he rarely went to the regiment headquarters lately.

From these unusual actions, An Hao analyzed that Qin Jian must be on a secret mission.

Since it’s a secret mission, she wouldn’t ask more.

The family was in sync with each other, none of them asked even a word.

However, Yuan Yunong found it strange and just casually asked: ”Is Commander Qin so busy? Does he have to go on a mission even at night?”

”Just the usual.” An Hao seemingly casually replied, but this answer was to tell others that to Qin Jian, this was the most normal activity.

Nothing special, and nothing to be curious about!

”Being in the military is really hard work!” Yuan Yunong remarked and continued to eat with her head down.

”Ms. Yuan, do you have a boyfriend?” An Hao asked casually while eating and chatting with Yuan Yunong.
