Seeing Qin Shuo's face looking very dark, Xu Jiaojiao was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I'll go take a look. You can chat with Comrade Fang first."

Although nowadays, it is not as strict as in ancient times where men and women are required to keep separate.

But she didn't want her man to see another woman.

She's also a widow with a bad reputation.

Hearing the possessiveness in Xu Jiaojiao's words, Qin Shuo's originally gloomy face instantly brightened.

A strange feeling flashed through my heart, but it was not a bad feeling.

Qin Shuo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

After a pause, he said, "Okay."

Outside the door, Wang Liujing was holding a basket of eggs in one hand and touching her hair from time to time with the other hand.

Make sure not a single hair is messy every day.

One moment the tall and burly figure of Qin Shuo appeared in my mind, and the next moment, it appeared as another figure wearing Dacron.

For a moment, I felt it was difficult to make a decision.

At this moment, there was a "click" sound from the door, and Wang Liujing's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

"Qin San..."

The voice that was deliberately pinched fell silent in an instant when he saw the person behind the door.

It looked as if his neck was stuck, which was a bit ridiculous.

"You got something to do with my man?"

As Xu Jiaojiao spoke, she stood at the door, with no intention of inviting anyone in.

But she has a slender figure, how can she block anything?

Through the gap, Wang Liujing was still able to see the scenery in the yard.

In the tiled yard, there are flowers, trees, a fish pond and a pavilion.

It doesn't look like a house in the countryside at all, but it looks more luxurious than that of the landlords in the old society.

She tightened her grip on the basket of eggs and forced a smile.

"Jiaojiao, I'm here to apologize to you."

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

To apologize to her, why do you need to find her man?

Seeing her look of disbelief, Wang Liujing's face froze.

Then he continued, "I called you just now, maybe you didn't hear me, so I called you Third Brother Qin now."

Hearing him calling him "Third Brother Qin" made Xu Jiaojiao's forehead ache.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she said, "If you're alright, go back. I really can't remember any grudges between you and me that would require you to come to my house to apologize.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Liujing's face twisted for a moment.

But then, she endured it.

"I'm apologizing on behalf of my mother. What she said was too much."

As she said this, she wanted to walk forward with the eggs in her hand.

But how could Xu Jiaojiao, who had been on guard against her, let her get close?

"I received your apology. Go back to where you came from. I have guests at home and it's inconvenient for me to entertain you."

After saying that, she closed the door.

The door was so fast that it almost hit Wang Liujing's face.

Unexpectedly, she did not play by the rules. Wang Liujing was so angry that her face turned black.

She was about to continue knocking on the door, but when she thought of the city dweller wearing Dacron inside, she was afraid that if she continued to knock on the door, it would leave a bad impression on the other person, so she held back.

Wang Liujing was really unwilling to let her go back like this.

Suddenly she thought of something and hurried away with the basket.

Inside the room, the three of them continued to eat.

A special stove is placed underneath the boiled fish so you can eat it while it’s cooking without having to worry about the cold.

The whole kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.

Since Fang Shikai was discharged from the army and started driving a car in a pharmaceutical factory, although he did not have meat every meal, his diet was much better than that of other people.

But even with such conditions, he had never eaten such delicious fish.

It’s spicy and fresh, and the fish is tender and smooth.

Even the side dishes were full of the taste of fish sauce. He felt very satisfied after taking a bite.

"Brother Qin, you are so lucky!" You can eat such delicious fish every day.

Hearing this, Qin Shuo turned his head to look at the little woman who was eating fish slowly, his lips slightly curled, and he nodded.

"My wife is good at cooking."

Fang Shikai: ...

Hearing this unmodest compliment, he was stunned for a moment.

"As expected of Brother Qin, you are such a man!"

Coming back to his senses, Fang Shikai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He is a straightforward person and likes to speak directly.

But the people he dealt with were always roundabout, and sometimes he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

It has been a long time since he met someone as direct as Qin Shuo, and he missed him a lot.

"Life in the army is still happier." Fang Shikai sighed.

I train with my comrades every day and sleep when I get back tired. Why would I have so many worries?

Hearing this, a hint of nostalgia flashed across Qin Shuo's eyes.

Thinking of his comrades who died in the previous life and are still alive and well in the army, he felt excited.

However, when he saw his pregnant wife next to him, he gave up the idea of ​​returning to the army as soon as possible.

Xu Jiaojiao sat aside, listening quietly to them talking about interesting things in the army.

Eat some side dishes from time to time.

But while eating, Xu Jiaojiao noticed that Qin Shuo's face looked strange.

When Fang Shikai was adding more rice, she quietly reached out and pulled at the corner of his clothes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

"I'll tell you later." Qin Shuo reached out and pinched her little hand.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

After that, there was no longer any abnormality on Qin Shuo's face.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

When leaving, Fang Shikai touched his round belly and almost burped.

"Thank you for the treat, sister-in-law. The food is delicious." Fang Shikai praised sincerely, "Next time you come to the city, I will treat you to roast duck! There is another roast duck restaurant in our city that is also very delicious."

"Then we'll wait." Xu Jiaojiao replied with a smile.

He acted as if he was not shy about being with him.

Fang Shikai laughed cheerfully a few times, then turned to Qin Shuo and said, "Brother, you guys go and do your work, you don't have to see me off, I know the way."

There were people carrying benches along the way, and it seemed that they were going to the captain's house for a meeting.

Knowing that their team had important matters to discuss, Fang Shikai was unwilling to disturb them.

"No problem."

Qin Shuo said this without stopping, as if he was going to see him to the car.

Seeing this scene, Fang Shikai was somewhat flattered and did not refuse.

The three of them walked towards where the car was parked at the entrance of the village.

Only after getting in the car did Fang Shikai wave his hand and say, "Brother, I'm leaving. When you go to the city, remember to call me if you have anything."

"OK."

Qin Shuo nodded, and saw the car slowly set off.

At this time, the sun was setting on the other side of the mountain, and the sky was hazy.

Xu Jiaojiao was very surprised that he would be so considerate and attentive to send a grown man off.

But thinking of his unusual alertness just now, she couldn't help but frown.

"Go back to the meeting now?"

"good."

Qin Shuo nodded, but his eyes seemed to casually sweep across a big tree not far away.

Behind the big tree, a piece of clothes was faintly visible.
