Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: Qin Jian Has Not Returned for a Long Time

It turned out that the power of advertising was formidable.

People dispersed the news as they moved around, and later on, anyone who wanted to buy vegetables or any big customer could simply find their way by looking at the address on their clothing.

An Hao hadn’t anticipated such an immediate effect.

This winter was indeed a delightful one.

Before the New Year even arrived, people from all directions swarmed to An Ping’s house to buy vegetables.

Soon, all the vegetables were ordered.

This year, they no longer had to brace the cold winds and go to town to sell vegetables like in previous years.

This delighted An Ping tremendously!

It also made the villagers envious!

They all regretted not marrying someone like An Hao.

The Qin Family had landed a great bargain.

Several days had passed by the time he finished dealing with this matter.

Now it really was the end of the year.

The 23rd was the Little New Year, and according to the day Qin Jian had mentioned in his telegram, he had already been in Nancheng City for several days.

But why hadn’t there been any sign of him?

Even if he didn’t return to the village, shouldn’t someone have sent a message?

An Ping’s gift was ready, just waiting for Qin Jian to come back.

He waited and waited but to no avail.

This made him somewhat anxious.

During lunch, An Ping couldn’t hold back anymore and asked An Hao, "Didn’t brother-in-law say he was being transferred back to the Northern Military Region? Wasn’t he supposed to have returned long ago?"

"Yes, I was wondering about that too,"

"Could it be that he’s too busy since he got back, so he didn’t bother to inform you?" An Shuchao asked.

"Impossible! Every time he comes back, the first thing he does is come to find me." However, his absence this time was indeed strange.

"Why don’t you eat your meal and then go back to the city to check?" An Shuchao looked worried.

"Okay," An Hao agreed.

She had stayed here a while now, and her in-laws had never urged her to go home.

An Hao knew that her in-laws definitely wanted her to stay at home a bit longer.

That was why they hadn’t rushed her.

Having been away for such a long time, An Hao also felt that she should go back to see.

So after lunch, she took the car back to the city.

The journey took over an hour, and An Hao returned to the military compound.

Upon her return, the first thing she did was to inquire if there had been any phone calls or telegrams from Qin Jian.

"Dad, Mom! During these days I was not here, did anyone call or send a telegram today?"

"Yes, he said it would take three or four days to return to the military region. But several days have passed, and there’s still no sign of him coming back."

"Yes, I received the same. I’ve been waiting for him too, but he just hasn’t returned! Not even a message."

"Could something have happened?" Zhang Yun speculated wildly.

"Don’t talk nonsense! Our son is fine!" Ning Yibin said.

"Then why hasn’t he come home? Why not even a phone call? Not even a word," Zhang Yun found her son’s behavior unbearable.

"Maybe he’s on a mission," Ning Yibin suggested.

"I hope so..." An Hao’s heart was in turmoil, filled with uneasy feelings; something seemed very wrong!

Northwest Military Region, battalion headquarters.

Night, eleven o’clock.

Just as Qin Jian finished organizing the files and was prepared to return to his dorm to rest, he bumped into Li Zecheng and Yang Dahe.

"Are you leaving now?" Li Zecheng pointed at the bag in his hand.

"The train at five in the morning! I’ll be in Nancheng by evening!" Qin Jian said.

"The two of us came over to see you. Let us in to sit for a while. Once we part, who knows when we’ll see each other again!" Yang Dahe lamented.
