Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 760 A whole year of crackling and popping!

"Where to go?"

After leaving the Han family, Xu Ye inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm not afraid of anything, but since he's my future in-laws, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"How about we go to the flower market?"

Han Ziqing, who naturally took Xu Ye's arm as soon as she left the house, rolled her eyes and said.

Spring City, of course, has no shortage of flowers.

In Kunming, even though it's Lunar New Year's Eve today, flower markets are always bustling and never close during holidays.

"Dounan Flower Market?" Xu Ye blurted out.

As the future largest cut flower market in Asia, Xu Ye was naturally familiar with its reputation.

"have you been there?"

Han Ziqing was a little curious.

"no!"

Xu Ye shook his head, "However, it's a good opportunity to go and see for myself!"

The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose!
Whether in his past life or in this world, Xu Ye has always enjoyed tending to flowers and plants.

Especially now, he needs something that is conducive to self-cultivation.

There was no other way; too many people had been killed, and some adjustments had to be made. Xu Ye didn't want to become a slave to killing.

After all, anyone who has killed someone knows that once you break the habit, it's very easy to become addicted!
Simply put, violence is not the best way to solve problems, but it is the most direct one.

Not to mention, Xu Ye has killed so many people.

This is the fundamental reason why Xu Ye, as a soldier, was able to receive such generous treatment; the relevant departments have obviously taken this into consideration.

No one wants to see Xu Ye, this sharpest knife, develop even the slightest problem; it's always best to keep the blade facing outwards.

"I've been there, I'll drive!"

Seeing that Xu Ye was very interested, Han Ziqing said with some excitement.

Although she wasn't originally from Kunming, she had lived there for many years and naturally loved flowers. Many of the flowers and plants in Xu Ye's yard were her creations.

"OK!"

Xu Ye has no objection.

Although driving has liver roll value.

However, a trip to YLK caused Xu Ye's liver scroll value to skyrocket, so Xu Ye, who was only concerned about the meager rewards, naturally didn't care so much.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, Xu Ye didn't have time to think about how to spend his liver rolls.

For Xu Ye, the more liver rolls he has, the better.

However, Xu Ye wouldn't hold onto it forever; he'd keep only what was essential for survival, and spend the rest as soon as possible.

In short, Xu Ye also wants to fly on the J-20 as soon as possible!
The stronger the Dragon Kingdom becomes, the more liver scrolls will accumulate in no time.

Xu Ye knew that even though the YIK war was over, the world would not be at peace.

The reason why people from the Dragon Kingdom feel that war is far away from them is because they grew up in the Dragon Kingdom.

As for disputes abroad, I've never heard of any, big or small.

All of this is based on the continuous strengthening of the Dragon Kingdom; otherwise, the surrounding areas would be just as chaotic as a pot of porridge.

Therefore, from any perspective, Xu Ye hopes that China will become stronger more quickly.

Otherwise, what's the point of leisurely strolling around the flower market like today!
However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Let's plan for the long term after the New Year. Let's go shopping with my girlfriend first!
Without any major mishaps or unexpected events, two hours later, Xu Ye and Han Ziqing each got out of the car carrying a pot of flowers.

"came back!"

Han's mother greeted Xu Ye warmly and was about to take the flowerpot from Xu Ye's hand.

Han's mother was growing increasingly fond of her prospective son-in-law.

As for Han Ziqing, who was standing to the side, she was completely ignored by her mother, which made her a little defensive—who is your real daughter anyway!
However, I was also very happy.

She knew that Xu Ye's excellence would surely please her parents.

Dad doesn't seem too satisfied yet, but Mom's satisfaction is written all over her face.

"Auntie, no need, I can do it myself!" Xu Ye quickly declined.

The pot of Aralia elata he's holding is quite heavy; it's better if he handles it himself.

"Don't buy this for me next time, kid."

Han's mother didn't insist, and "complained" with a smile on her face.

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

Following Han's mother's instructions, Xu Ye placed the flowers inside the house and said with a smile.

Han Ziqing had already put her potted orchid away and went for a stroll in the kitchen.

"Xiao Qing, you watch TV with Xiao Xu for a while, I'll go cook."

After chatting for a few minutes, Han's mother called to her daughter and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

With the Lunar New Year approaching and Xu Ye visiting for the first time, after everything was prepared, Han's mother gave the nanny an early holiday so she could cook a New Year's Eve dinner herself.

Or perhaps it's just a family tradition.

After all, she wasn't the kind of pampered young lady who never lifted a finger; she had also experienced hardship.

"Auntie, you can rest, Ziqing and I will do it!" Xu Ye quickly followed.

Although this is somewhat against the rules.

However, given the special circumstances, Xu Ye felt embarrassed to just sit and wait for food.

Another point is that when they were outside earlier, Han Ziqing also complained a little about her mother's cooking skills.

Come to think of it, most things are basically just a matter of practice.

For someone like Han's mother, who only cooks a few meals a year, even the best cooking skills will be wasted.

Besides, given Han's mother's attitude towards me, she'll definitely treat me well then!

Therefore, in order not to make things difficult for his tongue, Xu Ye felt it was better to do it himself.

"Yes, Mom, you just watch TV and wait, Xu Ye and I will take care of it!"

Han Ziqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled her mother back to sit down on the sofa.

The taste of mom's cooking is best left in memories; for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, she'd rather eat what Xu Ye makes.

Because of Xu Ye's identity, Han Ziqing hadn't had the chance to eat Xu Ye's cooking many times.

Han Ziqing naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

“That won’t do. Xu Ye is visiting for the first time. How can we let you cook all the time?” Mother Han naturally wouldn’t compromise easily.

Although, by noon, Han's mother was also impressed by Xu Ye's cooking skills.

But this isn't suitable!
Besides, Han's mother also thought her cooking skills were quite good.

It can only be said that people in high positions really rarely hear the truth!
Ultimately, with Xu Ye and Han Ziqing's insistence, Han's mother, unable to stand alone, had no choice but to compromise, and was even more satisfied with Xu Ye.

"By the way, Mom, did Dad call again? When will he be back?" Han Ziqing asked casually.

However, deep down, Han Ziqing still hoped that her father could come home early tonight.

"I called and said I'd try to come back as soon as possible," Han's mother sighed inwardly.

"Well, I hope so!"

Han Ziqing sighed inwardly as well.

Try to get home as early as possible; if nothing unexpected happens, getting home by 10 PM is already considered early.

"Smile, you know I don't mind!"

In the kitchen, seeing Han Ziqing's somewhat gloomy expression, Xu Ye teased her a little.

"Ok!"

Han Ziqing forced a smile, "But I still hope that Dad can come back soon so we can have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

To be honest, since she went to university in Beijing, the number of times her family has eaten together can be counted on one hand.

Given the unusual circumstances today, Han Ziqing's emotions suddenly erupted.

"How about I prepare it first, and then cook it when Uncle is almost back?" Xu Ye thought for a moment and said. The New Year's Eve dinner is about family reunion; whether it's a little earlier or later doesn't matter.

"it is good"

Han Ziqing was about to agree instinctively, but then shook her head and said, "Never mind, I don't know when I'll be able to come back."

"All right!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye did not press the matter further.

Han Ziqing is right; no one can be sure when Han's father will be able to come home.

That's what they said, but Xu Ye still dragged it out until after 10 p.m.

"Xiao Xu, let's not wait any longer, let's eat!"

Han's mother glanced at the time and immediately made the decision.

At this point, not only has he not returned, but he hasn't made a phone call either. If nothing unexpected happens, he most likely won't be back before midnight, so we can't keep waiting any longer.

"Yes, eat!"

Han Ziqing followed up.

For the following New Year's Eve dinner, although Han's father no longer had any regrets, Xu Ye's superb cooking skills made up for it. Not only was Han Ziqing a little stuffed, but Han's mother was in a similar situation.

Xu Ye naturally put a lot of effort into the New Year's Eve dinner, so the food tasted better than usual.

"Xu Ye, are you really not staying?"

After seeing Xu Ye outside, Han Ziqing said with some anticipation.

By this time, the New Year's bells had already rung, and Xu Ye accompanied Han Ziqing and her mother to spend the New Year's Eve together.

Just now, her mother reiterated that Xu Ye shouldn't leave and should stay there.

This alone shows that Han's mother was extremely satisfied with Xu Ye and treated him as her son-in-law.

"Never mind, I have other things to do!" Xu Ye shook his head.

If he doesn't have a house in Kunming, then he can stay.

But now, Xu Ye would rather go back to live there.

Even if they were married, they would still feel somewhat uncomfortable staying here; it would be more comfortable to go back.

"All right!"

Han Ziqing hugged Xu Ye tightly, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"

It's supposed to be tomorrow, but it's already past midnight, so it should be today.

But who cares?

"Of course, I also want a red envelope!" Xu Ye kissed her earlobe and said with a smile.

"Then you have to come early, otherwise my dad will have to go out again," Han Ziqing added.

There's nothing that can be done; that's just her family situation.

"Okay, I'll be over first thing this morning!" Xu Ye assured him.

Of course he knew that Secretary Han was busy. Not only was Secretary Han busy, but Xu Ye himself was also busy!

This is still the case now; in the future, it will likely be even busier.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Xu Ye tacitly approved of Han Ziqing changing her dream and choosing to be specially recruited as a military reporter.

For the sake of their future family, the couple cannot both be extremely busy.

Marriage has not only a beautiful side, but also compromises and even sacrifices.

Just like Han Ziqing, who chose to sacrifice her own dreams for the sake of their marriage.

No one knew this better than Xu Ye.

Don't forget how the two of them met.

It was precisely because Xu Ye knew of Han Ziqing's past dedication to her dream of becoming a great reporter that he was even more moved.

If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?

"Alright, it's chilly outside, let's go back inside!"

After whispering sweet nothings in her ear for a while, Xu Ye said something in her ear.

"Okay, take your time going back!"

Han Ziqing looked up, kissed Xu Ye on the lips, and gave him a gentle reminder.

"rest assured!"

Xu Ye smiled slightly.

After Han Ziqing went inside, Xu Ye got into his car and left.

As Xu Ye left the compound, he saw a familiar car in the distance. After thinking for a moment, he ultimately decided not to stop.

Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow!
That's right, that car just now belonged to Han's father.

The journey was uneventful, and Xu Ye quickly returned home.

Compared to the lively atmosphere just now, this place is much quieter.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ye turned on all the lights, so that everything would be bright and clean for the whole year!
Listening to the continuous sounds of fireworks and firecrackers, Xu Ye had an idea, and a large plate of "Da Di Hong" (a type of Chinese liquor) appeared in his hand.

Over the past year, Xu Ye has heard a lot of gunfire, but he still prefers the sound of firecrackers.

Because one represents war and destruction, while the other represents peace and prosperity.

"Damn, why ban something this good?!"

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Xu Ye's face flickered with uncertainty, and he couldn't help but curse.

Clearly, Xu Ye is very dissatisfied with the future ban on fireworks.

Some experts in China often do inhumane things. Instead of promoting and carrying forward some excellent traditions that have lasted for thousands of years, they even go to great lengths to suppress them.

However, Xu Ye knew that change would not be achieved overnight.

True national self-confidence can only be established by completely demystifying Western countries.

To achieve this, the Dragon Kingdom itself must first become stronger.

After all, you have to be strong yourself to succeed!

Once I become stronger, great scholars will naturally come to explain the classics to me!
"Have it!"

As the final "big thunderbolt" exploded with a deafening roar, Xu Ye made his decision.

Since it's Chinese New Year, let's send out a special New Year's gift!

After confirming that nothing had been ignited, Xu Ye did not bother to clean up the firecracker paper scraps scattered all over the yard.

Red paper scraps covered the entire courtyard, creating a festive and joyous atmosphere.

After taking a shower, feeling refreshed, Xu Ye went to the study and turned on the computer.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ye turned on his phone, which was already fully charged.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned it on, the phone started vibrating like crazy.

The tremor lasted for several minutes before it subsided.

With the widespread use of mobile phones in recent years, sending New Year's greetings is no longer limited to making phone calls; text message greetings have also become popular.

Of course, whenever you're close to someone, it's always better to call.

However, since the phone had run out of battery earlier, Xu Ye simply didn't turn it on.

Otherwise, the phone calls would never stop.

In recent years, as Xu Ye's status and power have risen, some people who are usually too embarrassed to bother him will naturally not miss the opportunity to get closer during the Chinese New Year.

"Even in the distant mountains, wealth is sought after!" Xu Ye remarked with emotion.

Then, he picked up his phone and looked through each message, replying to them one by one.

Mass message?

Xu Ye still has a bottom line.

Regardless of their motives, Xu Ye would never take other people's blessings lightly.
