“Hahaha.” Qiao Nan sneered. She looked at s.h.i.+ Qing from the corners of her eyes. s.h.i.+ Qing was the same age as Zhu Baoguo. Both were only three years old this year!

When Qiao Nan arrived home, Qiao Dongliang was not back yet. Qiao Nan had planned the time such that she could give Zhai Sheng a call before Qiao Dongliang returned.

Unfortunately, after a few calls, Qiao Nan had to hang up when she heard the beeping tone from the other phone, which hinted that no one answered the phone. “No one answered the phone. Most likely, he’s not back yet.”

Qiao Nan felt so sad that she leaned against the sofa. There were also disadvantages after Zhu Chengqi installed the phone at her house.

In the past, even if she was worried about Brother Zhai, there was nothing she could do.

Now, there was a way to get in touch, but the situation such as today, not being able to get through, would only make one more worried. “s.h.i.+ Qing, do you know about this kind of situation where Brother Zhai goes out to carry out a mission? Roughly, how long will it take for him to complete and return from it?”

“It’s hard to say as it depends on the difficulty of the mission. Whether it goes smoothly and some external factors are not within control. Fast ones will be very fast. As for slow ones, it’s possible that it will take one, two, or even six months.” s.h.i.+ Qing’s voice turned increasingly softer. This was because she knew that although she was telling the truth, it was not helping Qiao Nan at all.

“Is that the case?” Qiao Nan gritted her teeth and dialed the number of s.h.i.+ Peng’s office. “h.e.l.lo, is this Officer s.h.i.+? Yes, s.h.i.+ Qing is doing quite well at my house. Do you want to speak a few words with her?”

“No need. I know she should be doing quite well.” s.h.i.+ Peng took off the gla.s.ses on his nose bridge and drank a mouthful of water. “You called because you wanted to know about Zhai Sheng’s situation, right?”

“Yes, Officer s.h.i.+. Has Brother Zhai returned? Did he contact the army?”

“No. The mission that Zhai Sheng is carrying out this time is a little c.u.mbersome. It’s confidential and I can’t reveal much to you. But don’t worry. Zhai Sheng brought along all the elite soldiers in our army this time. Given his capability, he will be back safely. Why don’t we do this? Once I receive the news of Zhai Sheng’s safety, I’ll give you a call.”

s.h.i.+ Peng could completely understand Qiao Nan’s mood.

When he was young and in good health, he was always at the front line as well so that he could fight for a good future.

At that time, Qing Qing’s mother was always worried about him. She could not sleep every night whenever he was out on a mission. It was only after a few years of marriage that Qing Qing’s mother gradually became used to it.

“Thanks so much, Officer s.h.i.+.” After hanging up the phone, Qiao Nan looked pale. She looked very listless, like a frosted eggplant. “s.h.i.+ Qing, no wonder I’ve heard people mention in the past that it’s not easy to be a soldier’s wife. It’s true. My heart is suffering.”

She was not yet the wife of a soldier. However, she was already in such a way before she was married to Brother Zhai.

s.h.i.+ Qing brought over two cups of water and pa.s.sed one of them to Qiao Nan. “Qiao Nan, cherish your fortune. Both of us know that given Brother Zhai’s family background, he will not forever be at the front line to carry out this type of dangerous mission. When Brother Zhai acc.u.mulates enough experience and credits, sooner or later, he will take over the position of the chief from Chief Zhai.”

Hence, amongst the many wives of the soldiers, Qiao Nan would certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel one day.

The other wives of the typical soldiers, most fearfully, would only be able to avoid this kind of fears and worries when their men retired from the army.
