Chapter 440: A Home of Your Own
Before the vacation, Qiao Nan told Wen Jing that the heavy things in the store should not be moved, and he would work hard until he went back. If she's really bored, just clean up at home. Although, he has been cleaning the house for a long time, and he is waiting for his wife and children to move in.
The wild man's mind is still very delicate, and although he is not around, his care and love for her has not changed. Every time she thinks of this, Wen Jing's heart is sweet.
On the first day Wen Jing arrived, Qiao Nan took her home. This house is just needed by young couples, a very simple three-bedroom apartment. Qiao Nan originally planned to let Wen Jing be in charge of the decoration, because she always said that she had good taste, but the unexpected arrival of the little commander disrupted their plans. Qiao Nan had no choice but to be the art director himself, and he was called by himself as a small worker, and he took on the burden of decoration alone.
He has lived in the barracks all the year round and has long been accustomed to a simple life, and in the matter of decoration, he has also brought the simple style to the extreme. All the materials were carefully selected by him, but there was no ornate chandelier overhead, just a white bulb and a white lampshade, the floor was white, the walls were white, the dining table was white, and there were a few beds...... It's the most common beige, and there's no bells and whistles.
After it was completely renovated, he took a few of his subordinates to polish the house. Like an ant, he also took out a little money every month to move back one or two pieces of furniture to fill up the small home little by little.
Wen Jing walked into the house for the first time, put down her luggage, and was stunned. Qiao Nan eagerly waited for her evaluation, but unexpectedly, she waited for her to cry.
"Wenwen, what's wrong? Is the house too small, or is the decoration not to your liking?"
"We finally have our own home. ”
Wen Jing cried with joy and fell into her husband's arms. Qiao Nan hugged her and let her cry enough.
They looked at the house in December 2010, and finally scraped together enough for the down payment, and officially moved in in June 2014, three and a half years, and only they knew the difficulties.
The two people who have experienced ups and downs in the first half of their lives finally have a real place to live. On the real estate certificate, the names of the two people are clearly written, and they do have their own home.
Qiao Nan kissed his wife's forehead and said lovingly, "Poor Miss Wen has suffered with me...... Our little family finally waited for the hostess, and when the little master came, it was even more complete. ”
After crying, there was a lot of joy left. Her husband has to live with the army again, and she is alone at home, busy starting a business, and busy decorating her small home. She knows how to live and always decorates her home beautifully. It's been almost a month, and Qiao Nan went home again, suspecting that he had gone to the wrong house.
The wife brought back a lot of greenery, raised succulents on the balcony, hung a few abstract paintings with simple lines on the wall, inserted her favorite starry sky in a vase on the dining table, and replaced the bed sheets and quilt covers in the bedroom with a calm blue-gray color. Wen Jing posted some photos on the Internet, and netizens said that their home is a model of Nordic simplicity.
Wen Jing smiled and leaned back - where is the Nordic style so easy to pursue, but the wild man has no intention of inserting willows and willows, he has decorated his small home into the envy of others.
The couple discussed it during the Spring Festival and determined the goal of starting a business, so they saved a little more money, took out a loan, and got busy in style.
Wen Jing wanted to open a cake shop the most, and it happened that while she was taking care of her children, she took a certificate as a senior baker. But Qiao Nan investigated and found that the cake shop was not so easy to open, and it would take a lot of money to buy equipment first, and Wen Jing was demanding on the decoration style, so it was a big burden for them to invest in the early stage. He looked at a lot of cases and found that the probability of success was not very high. Therefore, he discussed with Wen Jing, should he wait for the success of the business to open a cake shop?
In fact, Wen Jing doesn't have much of a concept, she just has a hot brain and no specific ideas. When it comes to using her brain, she trusts her husband unconditionally.
Qiao Nan told her that the community she lives in now is a very new real estate, and most of them are wedding rooms for young couples, so there will definitely be a large number of babies and young children popping up in the past few years. It's better to open a maternity and baby products store, or open a children's clothing store, these two things are in great demand, and the cost is relatively not so high. It just so happens that Wen Jing has been engaged in the fashion industry for a long time, and her vision is beyond doubt, and the clothes she chooses will definitely be very popular.
Wen Jing followed her husband's suggestion, set up a children's clothing store outside the community, and registered an online store on a certain treasure. Influencer Tracy Wen spared no effort to promote her business, and it sold well as soon as it opened.
Qiao Nan also hung a cartoon on the glass door, with a sign of "Military Wives' Home" on it, hoping that the words "Military Wives" could give customers a sense of trust, and also hoped that their comrades-in-arms would often come over to take care of business.
At first, Wen Jing wanted to get an interest class for English picture books, but she didn't have any attractive gimmicks in this regard, especially because she didn't have a degree, she didn't have confidence in herself, and she didn't know if she could recruit students. So, she made up her mind to finish her undergraduate course in psychology this time no matter what. Again, academic qualifications can't bring her anything for the time being, but at least it can be her last retreat.
At the end of July, Qiao's family arrived one after another, and the little commander finally came. When he got home, he took a great interest in his room. Wen Jing covered his room with cushions, and his "bed" was spread on top of it, surrounded by soft cushions. This will prevent him from falling, and he will also prevent him from escaping, and he will be able to sleep alone. However, the little commander was most interested in his small tent, which also had soft mats, and he could stay in it for a long time.
Every expenditure of the little commander costs a lot of money, and Qiao Nan once protested that he didn't have to buy him a tent, but Wen Jing said very resolutely: "Before the age of six is a sensitive period for children's space, such a small space will make them feel more secure." Think back, when you were a kid, did you ever think about a similar experience, wanting to get into the closet or under the bed?"
Qiao Nan almost forgot that his wife was a top student in the Department of Psychology, and as soon as her remarks came out, he didn't even have room to question it. He silently calculated the expenses after the birth of his son, and helplessly supported his forehead, and he had to grit his teeth and work hard to make money in the future.
He also said to his babbling son more than once: "We didn't use any good things when we were children, and now we give you the best, you are so happy!"
The little commander just hid in the tent and played with himself, smiling at his father from time to time. As soon as his son smiled, Qiao Nan softened, and no matter how much money he spended, he didn't feel distressed. In fact, both the hostess and the little master have come to their side, and Qiao Nan is the happiest one.
After getting along for less than two days, the little commander felt that "Dad" was very good. Daddy's arms are strong and strong, one arm can hold him for a long time, unlike Mom's need to change around, Dad can easily lift him above his head and let him ride on his neck, he can see higher and farther, and it is more fun to fly with Dad because Daddy's legs are long and strong, and they can carry him for a long time. Every time he slipped into his father's arms, he laughed happily and his father was happy.
So, this guy called "Daddy" is really good, and he might try to call him "Daddy". Even if he only called "Dad", Dad smiled and hugged him and kissed him.
But when his father helped him bathe, he cried in fright. It wasn't because of anything else, but my dad had taken off his shirt too, and there were two terrible scars on his chest, like two big bugs, which looked scary.
Hearing the little commander's cry, Wen Jing thought that Qiao Nan had taken the child to play wild, and bumped him, but she didn't expect him to be scared and cry by those two scars. Wen Jing hurriedly told her son: "It was left by Dad when he caught the bad guys, Dad is a big hero, don't be afraid!"
The little commander didn't understand what a "hero" was, but after his mother finished telling him, his grandparents told him again. When he saw his father again, he was already wearing his shirt and covering his scars.
Qiao Nan sat on the bed in disappointment, and said, "It's just a matter of suffering at that time, how could I think that I would be scared of the child? ”
But the little commander stretched out his hand and asked his father to hug him. Qiao Nan was flattered and hurriedly hugged him over. The little commander snorted, but after a while he shouted very clearly: "Dad!"
Qiao Nan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he forgot to agree. To his surprise, his son's little hand was on his chest, his little face raised, and a syllable popped out of his mouth: "It hurts!"
……
It turned out that the son was not afraid of him, but felt sorry for him, and it turned out that raising a child had such a miraculous healing effect. A dignified seven-foot man, Qiao Nan couldn't help crying. Since then, the reputation of the little commander as a "villain" has spread.
That vacation should be Qiao Nan's happiest vacation. His family came all the way to congratulate him on his housewarming, and the family of three was reunited, and he only hoped that this would last longer.
Qiao Jianjun was always a little uncomfortable, Qiao Nan took him to the military hospital, found a familiar doctor, and did a detailed examination. Lao Qiao has high blood pressure, and the family knows about it, but what makes people laugh and cry even more is that he has presbyopia and struggles to see things, so he feels even more dizzy.
After getting the diagnosis, Qiao Lin was relieved, this oolong made a fuss, just like Sun Ruiyang had asthma, but he always suspected that he had an undiagnosed heart disease. Old Joe was also embarrassed, and he said, "When I wasn't dizzy, I thought I was a young man! ”
Hearing this, the three children of the Qiao family were silent. Persuade my father to retire? Impossible, he still doesn't accept old age. Every time Qiao Nan persuaded him to rent the store to others and collect rent according to the year, he didn't agree.
He said happily: "The children in the second middle school, as well as the workers in the neighborhood, all eat the food I cooked. I had to cook it myself to be relieved. ”
Lao Qiao has supported many students, and he is no less respected than Li Lanzhi. In the past few years, the business has been frequently closed due to family affairs, which has also caused dissatisfaction among old diners. Old Qiao smiled and apologized to them, and they were all happy for the happy events of the Qiao family.
It's rare for the family to come out together, Qiao Nan found a car and took them around for sightseeing, and he took care of the children with his wife at home and was busy with the business in the store. Wen Jing asked him to go out with his family, but he didn't go.
Wen Jing persuaded: "After all, Mom and Dad have only come for a long time, and you have to do your filial piety." ”
"I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, and I am talking about people like me. ”
Wen Jing was squatting on the ground to sort out the box, and suddenly laughed and ordered him not to speak again. Qiao Nan really closed his mouth tightly, and said after a long time: "The car is so big, plus I can't sit down." Those in the city can accompany them to stroll, and those outside the city are fine. ”
He thought about everything very thoughtfully, and even talked about his sister's life's events, he talked to his parents. Li Lanzhi told him that if there were suitable classmates in Beijing, he could introduce Qiao Lu to him. He now has a happy little family, but Qiao Lu is thirty-one, when will he be able to get married?
Qiao Nan had thought about it a long time ago and found the right person, but Qiao Lu simply refused, she told her brother that she didn't dare to touch her feelings anymore.
The old couple sighed again, she didn't dare to touch it, they didn't dare to mention it, Qiao Lu was too sensible, and she pretended to smile in front of her parents. The stronger she pretended, the more distressed they became. Her brother's family is so happy, how will she feel?
