Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

Chapter 196 Do you know each other?

"What are you doing?" Li Wanqing raised her hand to block, her face full of disapproval.

Cheng Baichuan said in a low voice, "Just let her taste it, I promise I won't let her eat too much."

Li Wanqing thought for a moment, then finally let go of her hand, "You can only try a little bit."

Although Nono's health has improved significantly, it's still best to avoid eating cold foods.

Hearing her mother's words, Nono's eyes lit up immediately. "Mmm, okay, okay."

Li Wanqing smiled helplessly, but still kept a close eye on her.

The little guy is very clever; if we're not careful, he might not be able to control his mouth.

Sure enough, Nono took a big bite as soon as she picked up the popsicle.

"Woo!"

It was icy and hard, but sweet, and Nuonuo couldn't bear to spit it out, holding it in her mouth.

Li Wanqing quickly took the popsicle, "Okay, at that rate, you'll chip your teeth."

"You lick an ice pop."

As she spoke, Li Wanqing began to lick it.

It's icy cold and sweet.

It tastes just like it did when I was a kid!

Nuonuo's lips twitched slightly, and Li Wanqing pointed at her, saying, "Don't forget, you just promised me you'd only eat one bite."

Nono's lips were still pouting, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Cheng Baichuan couldn't bear it. "Nono, Daddy will buy you something else, okay?"

Nono nodded with a wronged look on her face and reached out her arms for a hug.

Cheng Baichuan picked up his daughter and headed towards the vendors.

Li Wanqing quickly finished her popsicle and followed!

It's really cold!

My teeth are so cold they hurt!

Cheng Baichuan bought a string of candied hawthorns, and Nuonuo immediately beamed with joy.

Li Wanqing looked at the vendors and couldn't help but sigh, "Taipei is truly Taipei; private individuals can even set up stalls here now."

It's only been 77 years, and local private economic activities are not yet open.

For example, in Sichuan Province, if they want to do business, they have to do it secretly and very carefully.

Fan Hua was almost arrested by the management committee once before.

Cheng Baichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, about to speak, when the vendors suddenly began to hurriedly pack up their things.

The scene became chaotic for a moment, with Cheng Baichuan holding his daughter in one arm and his wife in the other.

Thanks to his excellent physical condition, he managed to hide in a safe place.

"stop!"

"Setting up stalls is not allowed here. You guys have gotten too bold."

.......

Looking at the fleeing and chasing crowd, Li Wanqing was momentarily stunned.

So Taipei City hasn't opened up to private business operations yet?

Cheng Baichuan pulled the mother and daughter away from where they had just been, and then explained, "The situation in Taipei is relatively better, but it's not completely open either."

“Those private vendors often do this so openly, partly out of necessity and partly to test the limits.”

Li Wanqing nodded hesitantly, "So those people from the management committee weren't really going to arrest them?"

Cheng Baichuan nodded. "But on the surface, it's just a formality."

Taipei City has opened up some areas where private vendors can operate.

The management committee usually turns a blind eye unless private vendors overstep their boundaries.

"How did you know?" Li Wanqing asked, looking puzzled.

Wasn't the training in Taipei supposed to be closed?

How do you know so much about Taipei's economic policies?

“The professors in the military occasionally talk about it during political classes,” Cheng Baichuan explained. “And judging from the situation, Taipei is likely to become a pilot city for the new policy.”

Given that Li Wanqing was secretly doing business, he naturally paid even more attention.

Li Wanqing's mind raced; it seemed she could be a bit bolder with her business in Taipei.

After strolling around for a while, seeing that it was almost time, the family of three headed to the state-run restaurant near the Military Science and Technology University.

When the three of them arrived, Qu Zhe had not yet come over.

After Cheng Baichuan ordered the food, he was about to return to his seat when a voice called out to him.

"Commander Cheng?" Qu Zhe looked at Cheng Baichuan in surprise, not expecting to meet him here.

"Commander Cheng, are you here at the school to check on the grades?" Qu Zhe asked.

Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly and shook his head. "No, I'm on vacation today. I came here because I have something to do."

Just as Qu Zhe was about to bring up Zhao Qingyao's matter, Li Wanqing came over carrying the child.

"Does Comrade Qu know my wife?"

"Is he your lover?" Qu Zhe exclaimed in surprise. What kind of fate is this?

Li Wanqing tilted her head, looking puzzled. Why was Qu Zhe acting like he had seen a ghost?

Qu Zhe swallowed hard and glanced at Cheng Baichuan.

Cheng Baichuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "The food will be served soon, let's sit down first."

Li Wanqing then put aside her doubts and invited Qu Zhe, whose expression was slightly stiff, to sit down.

"We were able to buy a suitable house this time thanks to Comrade Qu."

"I should have treated you to something nice, but we're unfamiliar with this place, so please don't mind."

Li Wanqing poured Qu Zhe a glass of water. Qu Zhe took a sip and then politely chatted with Li Wanqing for a few words.

Soon Cheng Baichuan brought over the food.

There were four of them in total. Cheng Baichuan ordered four dishes and a soup, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Qu Zhe felt a little embarrassed after seeing it.

"This is too much. I was just guiding the way."

I feel a little guilty eating this meal.

Cheng Baichuan poured him a glass of wine, but Qu Zhe quickly stopped him.

"I won't drink alcohol; I have classes and training this afternoon."

Qu Zhe glanced at Cheng Baichuan, then at Li Wanqing.

With so much to say bottled up inside, even food lost its flavor.

Li Wanqing found Qu Zhe very strange today, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"By the way, how did you two meet?"

Just as Qu Zhe was about to speak, Cheng Baichuan interrupted, "During the military skills competition, Commander Qu visited the barracks to provide guidance on training."

The explanation was reasonable, but Li Wanqing still felt that something was off.

During the meal, everyone at the table ate with their own thoughts, but only Nuonuo ate with the most satisfaction.

After finishing his meal, Qu Zhe returned to school.

Before leaving, he reminded them, "The results will be out tomorrow, and the troops will be notified directly."

Then he looked at Li Wanqing and said, "Red paper will also be posted outside the school. Comrade Li can come and take a look."

Li Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll come first thing tomorrow morning."

Qu Zhe said with a smile, "It doesn't need to be that early. The results won't be posted until after 9 o'clock."

After Qu Zhe left, Cheng Baichuan picked up Nuonuo and prepared to leave as well, but found his wife standing there, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Wife, is there anything else?" Cheng Baichuan asked, forcing himself to speak.

Li Wanqing took two steps toward him and said, "Tell me, what exactly are you and Comrade Qu hiding from me?"

Cheng Baichuan sighed softly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Let's go back to the guesthouse, and I'll tell you the details."

He didn't intend to hide it from Li Wanqing; he just felt it wasn't a big deal and there was no need to bring it up.

But who would have thought that the person who helped Li Wanqing was Qu Zhe!

The acquaintance Meng Renjie mentioned must be Professor Zhao Shuyu.

If this matter isn't explained clearly, problems are bound to arise later.
