Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Returning Home My brother and sister-in-law are finally back...

"Bah! He must be a bad guy to be taken away by so many policemen. Take him away quickly and don't harm us."

Among the crowd of onlookers was a woman in her fifties or sixties who was receiving leg treatment in the ward next door. She looked at Shu Jianhua with contempt and spat fiercely. She seemed to share the same hatred with the people around her. However, after hearing the voice of the masked man, she was stunned.

Because the voice was so similar to her son's.

Just when she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, Shu Jianhua shouted, "Mom, it's me, I'm Jianhua, Mom—"

He struggled hard, almost breaking free from Deng Xingwang and Jia Wang's restraints, but they immediately pulled him back with their powerful hands and shouted, "What are you yelling about? Be quiet."

"Jianhua? You are my son, Jianhua, why are you here?" The aunt whose face was haggard due to years of farming shouted at this time and squeezed through the crowd.

"Mom, it's me—"

Seeing that his fate was uncertain, the only thing he missed was his mother. He wanted to throw himself into her arms, just as she had protected him every time before.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

"Be quiet and don't move."

Shu Jianhua's mother was surrounded by other police officers, who dragged him out and quickly stuffed him into a car.

"What did my son do wrong? Why did you take him away?——"

Shu Jianhua's mother desperately slapped the policeman who stopped her, but Shu Jianhua was still taken away in front of her. Her mind exploded for a moment, and she subconsciously thought of throwing a tantrum to attract attention.

"Oh my God, the police are going to bully my mother and me to death. Is there any justice in the world—"

"I really can't live anymore, someone come and save me——"

She howled at the top of her lungs, but there was not a single tear in her eyes.

But even so, it attracted a lot of onlookers. Most people didn't know what had happened and were talking about it. Some people pointed at the location of the police car and condemned it.

"Is it really necessary to take someone away from the hospital during Chinese New Year? Who else can take care of this old lady? She's too noisy."

Not only did they dislike the noise, but even Chang Xuemin, who was about to leave but was held on to the old lady's thighs and couldn't move, also disliked it.

But now I can’t leave.

The aunt was still howling, "My son is very good. Why did you arrest him indiscriminately? Let him go quickly, or I won't get up."

Chang Xuemin, who was usually a very good-tempered person, was also a little angry at this moment. "What do you mean by indiscriminate? Your son killed someone and almost put the lives of five of our colleagues in danger. And you still want us to let him go? How is that possible?"

"You can howl here if you want, but I'm telling you, your son will definitely have to go to jail to atone for his sins."

The old lady panicked and her voice became sharper. "Impossible, impossible, how could my son do such a thing? You lied to me—"

She still refused to give in. Fortunately, the hospital security department came over at this time and forcibly pulled her away, giving him a chance to leave.

Chang Xuemin thanked them and quickly ran out the door.

Soon the three cars sped towards the city and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

The old lady who was held down by the security guard was in a state of panic, tears streaming down her wrinkled orange peel face, "How is this possible? My son..."

By the time they arrived at the Municipal Bureau, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. After putting Shu Jianhua in the detention center, everyone was exhausted and said goodbye to go home to rest.

Deng Xingwang's home is quite far away, and it's already so late today that he doesn't even want to go home. He said to Ji Mingcheng, "Captain Ji, I'm on duty tomorrow, and it's so late today, so I'll stay at my uncle's house for the night. Please take Jiang Jiang down."

"Yeah." Ji Mingcheng did not refuse, and there was no need to refuse. After all, the person lived in his house, and he would take the person back anyway.

Qiu Jiang, who was standing next to them, knew that his uncle's house was in the community next to their bureau. She was not surprised to hear him say that, but she didn't expect that he still remembered her, which was quite touching.

She patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, go quickly, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Hehe, I'm really exhausted today. I must have a good rest when I get back."

He stretched his limbs and soon ran out of sight.

About half an hour later, they also arrived home.

As soon as I entered the living room, the heat from the whole room hit me in the face. Thinking about the biting cold wind a few hours ago, it was like two different worlds.

It’s warm and super comfortable.

Sure enough, whether in ancient times or modern times, being able to have a warm nest in winter is the happiest thing.

The body becomes warm and other physical sensations come up.

For example...hungry.

“Gugugugugu——”

The continuous rumbling sound of the abdomen suddenly sounded in this quiet space, making Sasha, who had rushed down from upstairs after hearing the sound, circle around her in surprise.

What’s that sound? It’s so loud.

curious.

Its round eyes are full of curiosity.

Qiu Jiang quickly squatted down and hushed it, wanting to let the matter go.

While booing it, she turned her head and looked behind her, and was relieved to see that their quarter team had not yet entered.

But suddenly, an overbearing fragrance entered her nose. She was already hungry, and the smell of this delicious flavor made her even hungrier.

She instantly hugged Sasha, who wanted to run away, and while holding it, she sniffed and followed the fragrance to the door.

I saw their team leader standing at the door, with two young men in front of them carrying an induction cooker and a large bag. At this time, their team leader was signing some form, and after signing, he asked the two young men to put the things down.

After they left, Ji Mingcheng bent down, picked up two things and turned around. When he turned around, he saw her standing at the door holding Sasha like a child, staring at the bag in his hand without blinking.

Then there was a deafening sound.

"Gurgle gurgle."

Several loud voices all clearly declared how hungry they were.

Qiu Jiang's face turned red.

Shameful.

Ji Mingcheng didn't expect to hear such a loud sound. He looked at her deeply, but didn't say anything. He carried the things and came towards her.

When he reached her side, he said, "Go home for dinner."

The expected teasing did not happen. Qiu Jiang blinked and followed him in within two seconds.

At this time, he put his things on the island and went to the kitchen.

"Qiu Jiang, open the bag and pour the soup into the pot."

"pot?"

"Here I am."

"oh."

Qiu Jiang walked over quickly, took the pot from his hand, and saw him cutting coriander. She looked at it curiously for a few more times, then took the pot back. After opening the package, the aroma inside unscrupulously penetrated into her nose, making her swallow her saliva continuously.

It turned out to be mutton soup.

While chopping the coriander, Ji Mingcheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his lips curled up slightly, "Put the mutton offal in too."

“Hey.”

She nimbly untied the bag with her fingers and gently placed the bag full of fragrant stewed mutton offal along the edge of the pot. She also found a spoon to stir it without any instruction so that the mutton offal would sink evenly in the soup.

After finishing all this, Qiu Jiang turned around and asked, "Captain Ji, are you going to open fire?"

"Well, start with a low fire."

"Okay."

Qiu Jiang looked at the induction cooker and knew it would be used soon, so she turned it to the weakest setting. She came back to him, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Captain Ji, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Ji Mingcheng looked at her deeply and said seriously, "Of course there is."

Qiu Jiang was just about to ask him what it was and why he was so serious when he said, "Drink more later. Don't leave any leftovers."

Qiu Jiang burst out laughing and saluted, "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

As soon as she finished saying this, her pretty and lovely face was full of smiles, and Ji Mingcheng couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

"Let's make it clear then. If you can't finish your meal, you won't be allowed to sleep."

Qiu Jiang pouted, "Captain Ji, I think you must have underestimated my appetite. I'm so hungry now that I can swallow a cow."

God knows how hungry she is.

Eating noodles makes one feel hungry easily, and who would have thought that she would have to go through an ice challenge in the afternoon and not have eaten for seven hours. It would have been fine if she had been busy just now, but now she felt like she was about to die.

Starved to death.

So, she could definitely finish it, not to mention that it was her favorite mutton soup on the cold battlefield.

Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, let me see your fighting ability."

He then continued chopping his ingredients and directed her to get pepper and other seasonings.

By the time she had set the table, he had finished his side as well.

After sitting down, he picked up a piece of yellow pastry from the plate she had set out for her.

"Try it."

Qiu Jiang took it and was amazed after taking a bite.

"It tastes like pineapple, delicious." Her eyes lit up and she kept praising it.

"Try the remaining ones too."

"Then I'm welcome."

After she finished eating, she picked up one kind after another. Each one was delicious. There was also a crispy pancake that she thought was perfect with the mutton soup.

The mutton soup was already boiling. Ji Mingcheng poured her a bowl and said, "Add the seasoning yourself."

"Yeah." She replied and then focused on adding some toppings to herself. Naturally, the heavier the better.

affim

Ji Mingcheng was extremely surprised, frowning, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid of spicy food?"

"It's spicy, but it's delicious, and it definitely warms you up after eating it."

Ji Mingcheng only added a little bit of pepper and coriander, and he really didn't understand why anyone would like such spicy food. He was a little worried that she would get a stomachache.

Should I go to the hospital then? Or should I buy her some medicine?

Ji Mingcheng drank the mutton soup and thought about it randomly, but she was still fine until they both finished eating.

Moreover, the cheeks that had turned white from the cold in the afternoon were now pink and tender, full of blood and vitality, and had plenty of heat.

Well, it seems he was worrying too much.

Everyone was very tired today. After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the kitchen together. After that, Qiu Jiang teased Sasha for a while, while Ji Mingcheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking for something to read.

However, while he was looking for it, his attention was constantly diverted to Qiu Jiang and Sasha. Seeing them having fun, his expression was also very happy, and he even slowed down in changing the channel.

This time, Qiu Jiang heard something that really attracted her attention.

"Burn, my little universe! In the name of the Twelve Golden Saints, I will protect the peace and justice of this starry sky!"

Qiu Jiang straightened up immediately, ran over and sat next to him, his eyes full of the gorgeous and brilliant scenes on the TV.

"Wow--"

There were little stars in her eyes.

Like watching anime?

Sure enough, she is still a little girl who has not grown up.

He put the remote control on the table, leaned against the sofa, and actually started watching it with her.

Time ran out by the end, and when the last song started, it was already eleven o'clock.

After seeing the preview of the program later, Qiu Jiang was filled with resentment.

“This is too fast.”

but……

She yawned delicately and rubbed her eyes which were about to close, knowing that she couldn't keep looking any longer, so now was the perfect time.

"Team Ji, I'm sleepy."

Ji Mingcheng rubbed his temples and said, "Well, go to sleep."

"Yeah, good night, Captain Ji." Qiu Jiang turned and left.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "Captain Ji, you should move upstairs to sleep, otherwise you'll have to rely on coffee to survive tomorrow."

Ji Mingcheng glanced at her suddenly, his tone rather surprised, "How did you find out?"

Qiu Jiang pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "I'm exhausted from the whole journey, and I still can't sleep after returning. As long as it's not because I'm worried about something and can't sleep, then it can only be that I'm not used to the new place. After all, with this variable, is it hard to guess?"

Ji Mingcheng crossed his arms over his chest, "Then why can't I be suffering from insomnia because of thinking about something?"

"Because Captain Ji is a very capable person, he won't let irrelevant emotions disturb his life. Besides, when he came back last night, Captain Ji saw Sasha happily petting the cat. He was in such a good mood, how could he lose sleep because of worrying?"

She said it very logically, "So Captain Ji, please stop torturing yourself and go back to sleep. I'm so sleepy. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she skipped upstairs.

Looking at her back, Ji Mingcheng was in a good mood and laughed on the sofa for a while until Sasha jumped up and interrupted him.

He rubbed the cat's head and said, "Let's go to sleep."

Have a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Ji Mingcheng dressed neatly and went for a run wearing headphones. He ran around the community twice before coming back. He didn't see her in the living room. Thinking that she was still asleep, he went into the house to take a shower.

The strange thing was that when he came out of the shower, there was still no one in the living room. There was only Sasha squatting in front of her door, sweeping the ground with her tail, as if waiting for her to come out.

"Still not awake?"

He checked his watch. It was only half past seven. It was normal for young people to be sleepy, not to mention he had watched anime for so long last night. So he made a promise to it, "Let's go. I'll get you something delicious."

Perhaps she understood what he said, Sasha followed without hesitation.

Ji Mingcheng cooked some cod and chicken breast for it. It couldn't wait until the food was out of the pot. After the fire was turned off, it walked around on the workbench and rubbed against people. Unfortunately, Ji Mingcheng had a heart of steel and couldn't help but not give it any.

After rinsing it with cold water twice, cutting it and mashing it, pour it into a small basin.

Sasha was agile and jumped down lightly, then walked gracefully to the small basin to start eating.

Then he ground his own coffee beans as usual.

Once it's done, I'll leisurely drink coffee from a gorgeous little cup and enjoy the quiet of the early morning.

But unexpectedly, after a while, she came down excitedly carrying her backpack.

Ji Mingcheng frowned, "I didn't mean..."

"Captain Ji, my brother and sister-in-law are back today, so I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for taking care of me these days." Her face was full of joy, and she was immersed in the joy of seeing her family soon.

The coffee cup Ji Mingcheng was holding shook slightly, but soon returned to normal. He said with a normal expression, "Wait a moment, I'll take you home."

"Thank you, Team Ji."

"There are some snacks on the table, help yourself first."

Qiu Jiang smiled even sweeter, "Thank you, Captain Ji."

He turned around and went upstairs to change his clothes, while Qiu Jiang sat down to have breakfast.

tasty.

Their season team is really good at finding delicious food. They bought so many kinds of food and none of them were disappointing. She got it really good.

After eating a few bites, Qiu Jiang squatted down and kissed Sasha, hugged her and lifted her up high...

Oh no, it’s not enough to lift it up high, my arms just don’t have the strength to support it.

"You have to eat well, okay? I will come back to see you when I have time."

Sasha just raised his chin and purred, obviously enjoying being stroked by her.

After a while, Ji Mingcheng came down, glanced at the two of them, and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

"OK."

Before closing the door, Qiu Jiang looked at Sasha several times, feeling very reluctant to leave. But since Captain Ji was back, it was not appropriate for her to live here. Besides, her family was back too, so she had no reason to stay here. She had to suppress her reluctance to leave the cat and got into the car with gritted teeth.

There was silence in the car.

Qiu Jiang felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she started to actively find topics to talk about.

"Captain Ji, are you still going to work today?"

"Go." Ji Mingcheng glanced at her through the mirror, "You don't have to go. Just stay home and rest for two days. You'll be busy when you come back to work."

All she wanted was to spend two days with her family. She couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Captain Ji."

"You're thanking me a bit too much. What's going on? Are you having a promotion today?"

"No, it's because you are the best leader in the world. I salute you."

She talks a lot and has a lot of nice things to say.

Although there was a lot of deception in it, the words were too nice to hear, making people feel relaxed and comfortable. Ji Mingcheng couldn't help but brag about it.

"It's good that you know. There aren't many good leaders like me these days."

Qiu Jiang narrowed her eyes and said flatteringly, "Captain Ji is absolutely right."

Ji Mingcheng was in a good mood until she got off the car, but his mood dropped after seeing her get off the car.

"Captain Ji, I can walk over there. Please take care." Qiu Jiang waved to him repeatedly.

Ji Mingcheng looked at her smiling face, which looked like she couldn't wait to go home. He felt depressed and stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

She trotted into the alley and cleaned the place before her brother and sister-in-law came back. She cleaned here and there like a hardworking little bee.

In front of people who work efficiently, this little cleaning work can be done super quickly. After she finished these, she started to cook rice porridge. When the rice smelled good, the shouts of her little nephews and nieces could be heard in the yard.

"Auntie, auntie, we are back."

"Auntie, where are you?"

Qiu Jiang quickly opened the door curtain and walked out, picking up one in each hand, "Did you miss your aunt?"

"I've thought about it." The two of them rubbed against her in her arms, acting coquettishly and never getting enough.

Qiu Hengan and his wife looked exhausted, but when they saw how close the three aunts and nieces were, they couldn't help but smile.

After the three of them had their fill of rubbing against each other, Qiu Jiang immediately replaced Shi Yuexiu to push Qiu Hengan's wheelchair. "Sister-in-law must be exhausted these past few days. I'll push it, big brother. You should go and have a rest. You can eat when the meal is ready."

Shi Yuexiu looked at her with a smile, "Jiang Jiang is amazing, what did you do?"

"Rice porridge is just right to warm up the stomach. Oh, I also bought some vegetables. I'll simply stir-fry two of them later and we'll be ready to eat soon."

"You are needed to cook. I'll do it. You can take them two to play." Qiu Hengan patted her hand and asked her to push him to the washbasin. After washing his face and hands, he pushed the wheelchair to the kitchen to cook for them.

Shi Yuexiu changed the basin of water and washed her youngest son and daughter first, then said to them, "Go play with your aunt."

"Okay."

The two of them rushed over and hugged Qiu Jiang's thighs, "Auntie, grandpa and grandma gave us a red envelope, it's full of ten yuan."

"Yeah, I have some too, but I bought some delicious food, so I only have five dollars left. Here you go."

"I have five too."

They both stuffed the money into her hands. Qiu Jiang was so moved that she kissed them hard on the face and only let them go after smearing their faces with saliva.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have money, so you can keep it for yourselves. I also have gifts for you, right here on your beds."

Gift?

Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien blinked their eyes and ran away.

"Gift, gift, where's my gift?"

The two of them rushed into the houses on both sides, and soon the two little ones came out holding a big and beautiful plush doll, with their whole little faces buried in the bear and tiger dolls.

"I like it. Thank you, Auntie."

"I'm glad you like it. Now look at the little pocket in front of your dolls. There's a surprise inside."

This plush doll was a surprise enough for them. They couldn't imagine what other surprises there could be. But no matter adults or children, they couldn't resist the existence of surprises, so they carefully reached into the little pocket and touched something like paper.

The two of them quickly took them out, and when they saw the five brand new ten-dollar bills in their hands, the eldest brother opened his mouth and exclaimed "Wow".

You have to know that in this era when ice cream only costs one or two cents, one dollar is definitely a huge sum of money for a child, not to mention five bills and ten dollars, which is simply a sky-high price.

My aunt is really too awesome.

They rushed over and shouted, "Auntie, Auntie is the best!"

Qiu Jiang's tail was almost raised as she said, "This is a New Year's red envelope for you."

Shi Yuexiu also saw them playing, laughed so hard that he bent over, and waved to Qiu Jiang.

"Jiang Jiang, come here."

"Here I come."

Qiu Jiang walked up to her obediently, rubbed her against him and hugged her affectionately, acting more coquettishly than a child.

The key point is that Shi Yuexiu fell for it and immediately fell in love with her, hugging her lovingly.

"Aunt loves to act like a spoiled child, spoiled, spoiled."

The two of them laughed at her with their hands on their hips.

But she doesn't care.

It would be so nice to be able to act coquettishly, she just likes to act coquettishly.
