Chapter 66: Not Shocking

Because of Jiang Yang's barefoot behavior in the evening, Xu Zhishu deprived him of the opportunity to enter Jiang Yingying's room tonight.

Jiang Yang was outside, saying his mother was being too much. Jiang Yingying looked at Xu Zhishu and said, "Sister-in-law, how about..."

Xu Zhishu said, "It's okay. This kid is just pretending to be pitiful to win your sympathy. He has been sleeping in a room by himself for almost two years. When he sees that pretending to be pitiful is useless, he will go back."

Just as Xu Zhishu said, Jiang Yang jumped outside the door for a long time, seeing that his aunt was not moved by him.

He pursed his lips, probably because his mother said something bad to his aunt.

Jiang Yang felt helpless and a little angry at this moment, and he shouted into the house.

"Mom is a stingy person. She monopolizes my aunt. When Dad comes back, I will complain."

Then he said, "Aunt, I'm going back to sleep. Don't miss me too much."

Hearing Jiang Yang's words, Xu Zhishu proudly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yingying, with a look on his face that said, "See, I told you so."

Jiang Yingying raised her voice and replied, "Yangyang, go to bed early."

Seeing that his dear aunt really did not try to keep him, Jiang Yang was quite heartbroken. He hugged his little pillow and returned to his room step by step.

Inside the room, Xu Zhishu imitated Jiang Yingying and smeared some cold cream on his face.

Yes, she brought the vanishing cream from her room.

Seeing that Jiang Yingying had finished applying, she said, “Yingying, come to bed quickly, I’ll turn off the lights.”

Looking at Xu Zhishu's eyes that were faintly filled with excitement, the little bit of heartache Jiang Yingying had felt for Jiang Yang that evening came back to her.

However, when Xu Zhishu started telling her gossip about teachers at school after going to bed, Jiang Yingying's heartache was completely gone, and she listened attentively to her sister-in-law's gossip.

The two chatted in bed for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jiang Yingying looked at Xu Zhishu who had also woken up, pursed her lips, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, do you miss my brother?"

"Ahem." Caught off guard, Xu Zhishu was choked by the words and her eyes dodged. “No way…”

Jiang Yingying counted the things that were wrong with her in the past two days on her fingers, "You got up very early these two days, which is different from you who always likes to stay in bed for a while."

"Also, the night before last, it was very late when I didn't sleep, and you didn't sleep either."

"And more..."

Xu Zhishu held Jiang Yingying's hand and said, "Yingying, okay, okay, I admit that I do miss your brother a little bit."

Jiang Yingying looked at the point she pointed with her finger and wanted to laugh.

"Sister-in-law, what you said now is very similar to the way Yangyang told me that he just wanted to eat a little bit of cake."

Xu Zhishu blushed and pretended to reach out to scratch Jiang Yingying's itch.

"Well, you want to make fun of your sister-in-law, don't you?" She said, "You haven't been feeling well these past two days. Tell me, do you miss Captain He a little bit?"

"Sister-in-law, why don't you call He Yan by his name? Why do you always call him He Tuan He Tuan?"

Xu Zhishu paused and said, "Even though I know that the rumors about him in the family compound were false, I'm used to calling him brother-in-law, so I don't dare to call him brother-in-law."

Jiang Yingying laughed out loud, "Sister-in-law, you have to adapt quickly. I think He Yan will be your brother-in-law for the rest of his life."

"you?!"

Xu Zhishu was choked by Jiang Yingying's bold words, but seeing her brows relaxed, he felt a little happy for her. "Have you really thought it through?"

"I've thought about it," Jiang Yingying affirmed, "I've thought about it seriously these past two days. I just miss him so much. I'm worried when he goes on a mission, but it's precisely because of this concern that I think I've really decided on this person."

"Because of him, no matter what my future life will be like, I am willing to try it. This is the decision I made."

"It's my honor, but if he doesn't deserve me to treat him like this in the future, I will leave in time."

Jiang Yingying said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will make life worse and worse."

"Okay!" Xu Zhishu said excitedly, "Yingying is right. Anyway, remember, no matter what, sister-in-law will always stand on your side."

"Even if it's Captain He, you can't bully my Yingying!"

Jiang Yingying chuckled, and Xu Zhishu looked at her sweet smile, but suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Time flies so fast. The little girl that she and Jiang Chao saw when they returned to their hometown has grown up so much. She can become someone's wife or even a mother.

Xu Zhishu felt his eyes were hot and he wanted to cry.

"Mom, aunt, are you awake?" Jiang Yang's loud voice came from outside the door, and Xu Zhishu suddenly couldn't cry anymore.

She gritted her teeth and wondered why she hadn't been a soft and cute little girl in the beginning.

Jiang Yang was laughing foolishly outside the door, thinking that he was doing a good thing by waking them up, knowing his mother's inner thoughts.

"Mom, hurry up, or you'll be late for class."

"Got it, don't shout!"

Xu Zhishu walked out of the door angrily, dragging Jiang Yang to wash up. Jiang Yingying smiled helplessly and followed them.

Jiang Yang spat out toothpaste foam and tilted his head to look at his aunt.

"Auntie, are you happy today?"

Xu Zhishu next to him said disdainfully: "Brush your teeth clean and spit out the water in your mouth before you talk!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, howl."

Xu Zhishu turned her face away and concentrated on brushing her teeth, not wanting to look at him again.

Jiang Yang blinked his big eyes and looked at Jiang Yingying. Jiang Yingying rinsed her mouth and said, "Are you happy to have a pancake in the morning?"

"happy!"

When Jiang Yang heard the words "Jianbing Guozi", his eyes were filled with joy.

Jiang Yingying said: "Be good, brush your teeth first, and your aunt will allow you to eat one more portion."

"Okay, I'm brushing my teeth!"

Jiang Yingying also turned her face away and concentrated on brushing her teeth. Jiang Yang looked at his mother, then at his aunt, put the toothbrush in his little mouth, and brushed it vigorously.

Today, he can definitely eat more pancakes!

Because of Jiangyang's efforts, he of course ate a little more of the pancake.

His aunt even put four snacks in his little bag!

Four dollars!

Two pieces of chestnut honey cakes, two pieces of chestnut mung bean cakes, a total of four pieces!

Jiang Yang smiled like a little mouse that had stolen some meat, and even when he went out to school, his whole body was filled with joy.

Seeing him so happy all the way, Xu Zhishu showed some motherly love and did not deprive him of his few pieces of cakes.

The main thing is, ahem, when she went out, Jiang Yingying also packed a small bag for her so that she could fill her stomach when she was hungry at school.

Jiang Yang saw that he was almost reaching the classroom, but it was strange that his mother didn't ask him for half of the cake.

"Mom, don't you want to eat some cakes?" Jiang Yang asked, slowing down his pace.

Xu Zhishu's eyes rolled around, and Jiang Yang became alert. He reached out and covered his small bag.

Jiang Yang stretched out a finger with heartache. Xu Zhishu didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Then, under her gaze, Jiang Yang reluctantly stretched out another finger.

After waiting for a while, he saw that Xu Zhishu still didn't say anything, so the little guy said with a sad heart, "Two pieces, no more."

"Mom, I only have four!"

When talking about the word "four pieces", Jiang Yang deliberately slowed down his speech, pronounced the words clearly, and spoke in a strong tone.

Xu Zhishu tried hard to suppress his smile and extended his hand to him.

"Okay, then take out the two cakes you're going to give me."

Jiang Yang was so distressed that he gasped. He took out two cakes of different flavors from his small bag and presented them to them with both hands.

"Mom, here."

Xu Zhishu accepted it without hesitation, "Thank you, son. Although your aunt also prepared one for me, the one I gave you just feels more fragrant and delicious than the others!"

Jiang Yang's eyes widened, a little angry, he finally realized something was wrong.

However, he was the one who took the initiative to tell Xu Zhishu that he wanted to give her some pastries.

Don’t be stingy, don’t be stingy! Jiang Yang kept admonishing himself in his heart.

Meeting Xu Zhishu's smiling eyes, he puffed his cheeks and said goodbye to her.

The child's back looked angry, and because of her chuckle, his little feet moved faster, and he disappeared in a few seconds.

Xu Zhishu felt better as he looked at the two pieces of cake in his hand.

She didn't mean to tease the child, she just knew Jiang Yang's character very well.

If he really brought these four cakes into the classroom, he would have eaten them all within two classes.

Now that she has confiscated two of them, the little guy should be able to eat the remaining two after two classes.

Xu Zhishu nodded, stuffed the two pieces of cake into the portion Jiang Yingying packed for her, and walked briskly to the office.

Seeing that the child was so angry just now, give him two more pieces after lunch.

When Jiang Yingying got home from get off work in the evening, she saw the mother and son in the yard, one doing homework while the other tutoring beside them.

"Sister-in-law, Yangyang, I'm back."

Jiang Yang was about to put down his pen, but Xu Zhishu's eyes forced him back. He continued to write and draw on the paper conscientiously.

Xu Zhishu dropped the book in his hand, walked towards Jiang Yingying with a smile, and took her arm.

"Yingying, you're back!"

Having a child at home, especially a lively child, will always make a lot of noise.

Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying didn't have much time to feel sad about the passing of time, and they went back and forth between the two places every day.

The staff quarters are where they work. After Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang get home from school, they go to the staff quarters cafeteria to get dinner at dinner time.

Or, Jiang Yingying told them in advance that she would get food from the canteen or cook it herself.

Only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, and she suddenly had some free time, would Jiang Yingying think of He Yan who was out on a mission.

The same was true for Xu Zhishu. Sometimes, the two aunts and sisters-in-law would suffer from insomnia at the same time, and then they would chat quietly in bed.

Finally, Jiang Yingying simply got up, and the two of them went to the kitchen to cook a midnight snack.

Sometimes the bodies were not destroyed in the kitchen and were seen by Jiang Yang when he woke up the next day. He would then stand with his hands behind his back and circle around the two of them.

That morning, they were caught red-handed by Jiang Yang.

Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying went to the canteen of the staff quarters to get breakfast together. When they came back, they saw Jiang Yang with his arms folded across his chest, looking at them seriously.

"Mom, Aunt, did you guys eat tomato noodle soup without telling me last night?"

The little fellow's mouth was pouted so much that you could hang an oil bottle on it. Jiang Yingying looked at Xu Zhishu for help.

Xu Zhishu raised his eyebrows, signaling Jiang Yingying to rest assured, and she was about to speak.

Jiang Yang said, "Don't ask me how I know, because I just entered the kitchen and saw the dishes you didn't wash. I smelled the odor, and it was real."

"There's still noodle soup on the bottom of the bowl, and there are three tomatoes missing from the kitchen."

Xu Zhishu coughed and exchanged glances with Jiang Yingying.

Jiang Yingying looked at Jiang Yang, who was angry and aggrieved, and surrendered first. She coaxed him, "Okay, okay, next time, aunt will definitely call you over when she eats."

However, she would not ask her children to get up at night for a midnight snack.

It is better for children to go to bed at night. If they stay up all night, it is better to wait until they grow up.

Jiang Yang met Jiang Yingying's "sincere" gaze, and he said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but you must call me next time."

The child's anger came and went quickly. After he calmed down and was coaxed by Jiang Yingying, he started to take credit with the two of them.

"Hehe, Auntie, Mom, I have washed all the dishes in the kitchen."

"Good boy, you are worthy of being my son." Xu Zhishu praised.

Jiang Yang puffed up his chest and looked at Jiang Yingying again. Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Our Yangyang is awesome. He can even do the housework when he's mad at us. He's amazing."

Jiang Yang's little pout was praised by Jiang Yingying, and he said happily: "Aunt, Mom, what are you eating for breakfast? I'll go to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks."

When he trotted into the kitchen, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying exchanged glances.

Jiang Yingying whispered, "If I had known, I wouldn't have been lazy last night."

Xu Zhishu agreed. "At worst, get up early in the morning, or I'll go to the kitchen and wash the two bowls before I go out."

The two men secretly learned their lesson, and after Jiang Yang came out, some of them hurriedly put the food boxes away, and some of them instructed him to put the bowls and chopsticks away.

This breakfast went by peacefully.

Today, the three of them neither have to go to school nor go to work, so after finishing breakfast.

The three of them carried their backpacks, put on their straw hats, and went up the mountain fully prepared.

We met quite a few military families on the road, and the children in the family compound were running around everywhere, as it was a rare day of rest.

"Jiang Yang!"

"Tiedan!"

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yang successfully met up with his good friends.

The child whose nickname was Tiedan trotted over and looked at Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying with a blushing face.

"Aunt Xu, Aunt Yingying, I want to take Jiang Yang to dig wild vegetables over there, is that okay?"

There were already several children from the family compound at the place Tiedan pointed to.

Jiang Yang looked at Xu Zhishu eagerly, and Xu Zhishu nodded slightly.

"Go ahead, just play around outside, don't go into the mountains."

"Go ahead and play with your friends."
