Chapter 399 Why did Shen Anan come to Beijing?
After the entire tour, it was already time for dinner, and Captain Kang directly invited Shen Anan to taste the army's food.
Because the military district of Beijing City is located in the suburbs, it is more than an hour's drive from Beijing University.
So Shen Anan thought about it and agreed.
It seems that the sweet and sour pork ribs that Tang Miaomiao has been craving for can only be eaten in the afternoon.
However, just as they walked out of the shooting range, Shen Anan bumped into someone she didn't expect.
"An girl, why did you come to Jing City?"
"You promised before that you would come to see the old man when you came to Beijing, but I think you forgot everything!"
Cao Qiwen walked over quickly with his guards and looked at Shen Anan with a smile on his face.
Captain Kang on the side saluted hurriedly, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Shen Anan.
Who would have thought that a little girl would not only be so valued by her superiors, but also know the old leader, not to mention being the top student at Peking University.
It's true that comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away!
Take this old leader for example, you never see him smile like this normally!
Think about that naughty boy in his family, who is two years older than the girl and is still so lazy.
"Grandpa Cao, I just arrived in Beijing not long ago. The school is still undergoing military training! I originally planned to come visit you after the training was over."
The main reason is that he has been too busy recently. Mr. Cao did leave her his address before.
but……
Shen Anan took a breath of cold air when she saw the military rank on the old man's shoulder.
She had actually noticed before that the old man's identity was not simple, but she didn't expect that he was such a big shot.
After knowing that Shen Anan had not eaten yet, the old man enthusiastically invited Shen Anan to his house for dinner.
The old man lives not far from the military area, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
The old man lives in a three-story building with a large yard in front. However, there are no flowers planted in the yard, but there are quite a few vegetables.
When I got home, the food was already on the table.
For a cadre at the old man's level, who is single, the organization has specially arranged someone to take care of his daily life and three meals a day.
The old man immediately went to the kitchen and asked for two more dishes.
"Grandpa Cao, there are already several dishes here. There's really no need to add more. It would be a waste if there were more."
Seeing this, Shen Anan quickly refused.
Cao Qiwen pointed at the dishes on the table and said with some complaint, "Girl An, just let me take advantage of you and eat something delicious!"
"The old man eats these every day, and his mouth is really bland."
Only then did Shen Anan realize that the food on the table was a healthy meal with less oil and salt.
But it's true. After all, the old man is at this age and he really needs to pay attention to his diet. No wonder she said that the old man would come home to eat every day.
After a conversation, a young soldier in an apron brought a plate of braised pork and a plate of fried fish and placed them on the table. He then stood by and looked at the old man hesitantly, wanting to say something.
The old man acted as if he didn't see it. He smiled and asked Shen Anan to sit down, and then his chopsticks immediately went to the braised pork.
Shen Anan saw that the soldier's expression became more anxious, and his eyes were completely fixed on the old man's chopsticks.
"Grandpa Cao, for the sake of your health, you can't eat too much of this dish."
"Otherwise I'll regret coming here for a free meal."
The old man was squinting his eyes and enjoying the braised pork in his mouth. When he heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded.
The soldier's expression suddenly relaxed. He gave Shen Anan a grateful look before turning and walking towards the kitchen.
The old man didn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. He chatted with Shen Anan while eating.
When he heard that she was visiting the military region on behalf of Beijing University, although a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, he did not ask any further questions.
It was also from chatting with the old man that Shen Anan learned that the old man's sweetheart had moved abroad with her family, and was not dead as she thought.
However, in this era, no place is stable. Even if you know that someone has gone abroad, but don’t know the specific place, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Girl An, I want to thank you for giving this old man hope."
"No matter what, as long as I'm alive, I'll always look for her."
"Grandpa Cao, to be honest, I didn't do anything. I just returned the property to its original owner."
Shen Anan also admires the pure feelings of the older generation.
After dinner, because the old man had a meeting in the afternoon, he rested for a while and then asked the guard to drive her back to Peking University.
Before leaving, the old man repeatedly told her to come and see him often, and if she encountered any problems in Beijing, she could come to him at any time.
Shen Anan naturally knew how important the old man's promise was. It was like a talisman for Beijing.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the jeep, Shen Anan rolled down the window halfway because she felt a little stuffy, thinking about what gifts to bring when she visits the old man next time.
The jeep slowly drove out of the military compound and just passed by a woman holding a child.
The woman looked up inadvertently, but suddenly she froze in place.
……
……
"Sister Pan'er, Xuanxuan's hand hurts!"
It was not until she heard a cry of pain that Wang Pan'er came back to her senses from her trance.
Looking down, Xu Mingxuan's eyes were red, his mouth was pouting, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Wang Paner only then realized that she had pinched Xu Mingxuan's hand too hard and left red marks.
"Xuanxuan, be good. It's my fault. I'll rub it for you, okay?"
Wang Paner quickly squatted down, coaxed him softly, and rubbed the little guy's hands with her hands.
"You know, we men shed blood but not tears. If others knew you were a crybaby, they would dislike you."
"If Xiaohua finds out, I'll ignore you!"
Wang Pan'er coaxed and threatened at the same time, mainly because they were at the entrance of the family area. If someone saw her making Xu Mingxuan cry, and the old woman heard about it, she would cause trouble for her again.
Xu Mingxuan sniffed and suppressed the sour feeling.
"Xuanxuan, don't cry. Xuanxuan is a man."
After coaxing Xu Mingxuan, Wang Paner finally breathed a sigh of relief and had time to think about what she had just seen.
Why did Shen Anan come to Beijing?
She even appeared in the military compound. What on earth was she doing here?
Did Shen Anan see her just now?
Does Xu Fei know that Shen Anan came to Beijing?
"Sister Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Aren't we going to go play with Xiaohua?"
Seeing that Wang Pan'er didn't leave for a long time, Xu Mingxuan shook her arm anxiously.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Seeing this, Wang Paner could only suppress the doubts in her heart, forced a smile, and took Xu Mingxuan's hand to continue moving forward.
