The three of them talked about Yang Heng’s beautiful girlfriend until it was dark by accident.
Ye Jian, who had originally planned to return to the sniper base, quickly called to inform Principal Chen. Then, she simply stayed in the city for another night and agreed with Song Zhiqiu to fly back to school on the seventeenth day of the first month.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Ying finally received her military uniform. She would be in her military uniform on the whole journey to Beijing with Ye Zhifan in the afternoon, so she couldn’t stop taking pictures at home.
Sun Dongqing kept taking pictures with the camera, and it ran out of film within a short time. She was so happy that she couldn’t even close her mouth when she saw her daughter in the military uniform, “Beautiful, too beautiful! My baby girl is best suited to wear military uniforms.”
She kept boasting, piling up all the most beautiful words on Ye Ying. Nevermind if she praised her, but she even scolded Ye Zhifan, who was watching next to her, for not boasting her daughter, “Old Ye, why don’t you say anything! Look! Ying Ying is so beautiful; this military uniform is like tailoring her body, so majesty!”
Upon hearing her words, Ye Zhifan, who was also pleased, only said simply, “Aren’t you already overly-complimenting her? What else can I say?”
Having been an official for decades, he maintained the calmness he deserved even when he was at home. Even if he was happy, his face would not show the slightest expression.
He was kind today. Otherwise, usually, when he saw his wife and daughter going all over the place, he would have already reprimanded them for not being dignified.
Although his daughter in the military uniform indeed looked brave and energetic, she couldn’t forget herself because of happiness! She must know that entering the army was only the beginning; she still had a long way to go in the future!
Although Ye Ying joined the army today, she was a conscript after all. Compared with Ye Jian, who was an actual graduate from the military academy and was at least a second lieutenant, Ye Ying’s gap was still too big.
Comparing a conscript who would retire when the time came and a second lieutenant who graduated from a military academy, anyone could see the gap between the two.
Thinking of Ye Jian, Ye Zhifan, who was a little relaxed, leaning on the sofa, couldn’t help sitting up straight. Looking at his triumphant wife and daughter, Ye Zhifan, who had a smile on his face, became cold suddenly.
He was almost overjoyed!
Sun Dongqing said, “You, you, praise everyone in your meetings, but you don’t even say anything to your daughter. Why can’t you at least say something to her? You don’t even think that it will be hard for us to see our daughter after she leaves for Beijing this afternoon.”
Ye Ying had noticed the changes in her father, but she didn’t think too much about it. Seeing Ye Zhifan’s seemingly interested appearance, she turned around and sat on the sofa, putting her arms around him coquettishly, “Dad, come, praise me a little bit; you are better at giving compliments than mother. You see, Mom only knows to compliment me for being beautiful and majestic. Your praise must be different; it must have a certain level!”
At this time, Ye Zhifan, who was not very happy in his heart, pointed to her shoulder when he heard her words and said in a cold tone, “Forget it for now. I wouldn’t be too late to praise you when you have a star here.”
Just a simple sentence made the smile on Ye Ying’s face collapse.
During this period of time, she learned about the country’s military rank system and knew what it meant to have stars on her shoulders. She was smart enough to quickly understand what Ye Zhifan meant.
Sun Dongqing also knew a little bit, but she didn’t want her husband to ruin the mood, especially seeing the aggrieved appearance on her daughter who was about to join the army, so she immediately said, “Since you are so capable, why don’t I see you put on a military uniform and come back with a few stars on your shoulder?”
