Chapter 161 You Deserve It
Jiang Hong was left in tears and laughter by their words, but he continued to serve his food. He loved his wife, and he had no right to care about other people's lives.
Three days later, seeing that the medicinal materials were almost ready, Li Yiyi discussed with Jiang Hong and planned to go to the town to see Uncle Zhong the next day. However, he was worried about her going to the town alone, so the couple discussed it in bed and he decided to drive her there tomorrow.
Li Yiyi noticed that he went home to get food every day recently and seemed to be quite free.
"You seem to be quite free lately, bringing home meals for me and the kids every day. Your boss won't have any problem with you, right?" she asked worriedly.
Jiang Hong lowered his head and kissed her lips. "How could that be? Your man is the best in military and physical fitness. The leaders value me so much that they can't wait to have a problem with me. Don't worry, he won't."
"But some people do have complaints about me bringing meals home every day." He thought of the complaints those guys had been saying in his ears every day over the past few days, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
When Li Yiyi heard what he said, she thought someone really had a problem with him bringing home lunch every day, so she quickly got up from his arms and said, "Yeah, yeah, I knew someone would have a problem with you. Don't bring lunch home starting tomorrow. I can cook for myself."
Jiang Hong saw her anxiously getting up, smiled, and pulled her into his arms again, "It's okay, it's just that Xu Liang and the others complained to me because I bring food home every day and you don't have to cook, and their wives at home have opinions about them, thinking they are not as good as me."
After hearing his explanation, Li Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "So that's what happened. I was scared to death, but they deserved it. I've heard Sister Chunhua say it many times that Deputy Commander Xu comes back every day and lies there like a big boss. No wonder the sisters-in-law have complaints."
Jiang Hong nodded as he listened, "They really deserve it. They don't deserve sympathy."
The young couple looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The next day, after the family of four finished their meal and waited for Jia Chunhua and the others to come over, Li Yiyi entrusted the two children to them. Only then did the couple feel at ease to leave the military area and drive to the town.
When they arrived in the town, Li Yiyi saw Jiang Hong drive the car to a small house behind a shop on the street and looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Hong smiled and explained to her, "Uncle Zhong has moved out of that place. He has now moved to a small house that belonged to him before."
When Li Yiyi heard this, she smiled happily for the old man, "That's great. The previous place was too shabby, and it was not good for him to live there alone. This place is pretty good. It's across the street, so it's more convenient for him to buy things."
Jiang Hong got out of the car, walked around to her side, opened the door for her, took her hand and walked to the door and knocked.
After he knocked twice, the wooden door opened, and a different Uncle Zhong appeared in Li Yiyi's eyes.
"Uncle Zhong, I've brought my wife to see you." Jiang Hong shouted to Uncle Zhong who opened the door.
Uncle Zhong didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on Li Yiyi beside him, "Comrade Li, you finally come to see an old man like me, come in and sit down." After saying this excitedly, he reached out and pulled her clothes and walked inside.
Jiang Hong saw that he was being ignored by the old man, and he followed them in with a shake of his head and a smile on his face.
After bringing the person in, Uncle Zhong immediately went to the room and took out all the delicious snacks to entertain the guests.
"Eat it. I heard this is some kind of chocolate from foreign countries. I'm an old man and I can't get used to this kind of thing. You young people should like it. If you like it, take it all." Uncle Zhong said as he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Li Yiyi's hand.
Jiang Hong looked at his empty hands and shouted to the old man with amusement, "Uncle Zhong, have you forgotten that there is someone beside you? Why did you give all the delicious food to my wife and I got none? You are too partial."
When Uncle Zhong heard his complaint, he gave him a condescending look and said, "You have hands and feet, so you can get it yourself."
When Jiang Hong heard what he said, he chuckled, shook his head and laughed.
Li Yiyi saw that the old man seemed to want to stuff all the delicious food into her arms, making it impossible for her to grab it, so she quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle Zhong, that's enough, you don't have to take it, these are enough for me to eat, you can sit down too."
Only then did Uncle Zhong stop stuffing snacks into her arms, listened to her and sat opposite her.
"Comrade Li, you don't know that I have always wanted to thank you. I know that the reason I was able to get that hat on my body was all thanks to you. Thank you, thank you so much." The old man spoke to her with an expression of great gratitude on his face.
Li Yiyi smiled and said to him, "Uncle Zhong, please don't say that. Actually, I should thank you for giving me so many precious medicinal herbs."
"Hey, those are nothing. Compared to what you did for an old man like me, the things I gave you are worth nothing." He waved his hand and said.
"Uncle Zhong, we came here this time because we want to ask you something." Jiang Hong interrupted at this time.
Uncle Zhong glanced at him, then immediately stared at Li Yiyi and asked, "Comrade Li, is this your business? If so, feel free to ask."
Seeing this, Jiang Hong shook his head and smiled. Come on, this old man now regards his wife as his savior, and even he has to stand aside.
Li Yiyi glanced at Jiang Hong who was shaking his head and laughing, then she pursed her lips and smiled, then came to her senses and told him about her own story.
"This is the thing, Uncle Zhong. You've been here for a long time, so you must know more about people and things than we do. Can you help us see if there's anyone around you or someone you know who wants to buy Chinese herbal medicine?" she asked.
Uncle Zhong stroked his goatee and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh with his right hand. "Now that you mention it, I actually thought of someone, but he has had some problems recently, and I don't know if he can still accept the batch of Chinese herbal medicines you have?"
"Tell me, let's go find him," she said.
"He was an apprentice in my previous store. Later, he had his own skills and went to work in a local pharmaceutical factory. Gradually, he became bigger and bigger and became the director of the pharmaceutical factory. I ran into him two days ago and had a meal with him. We talked about his current situation. His current pharmaceutical factory had some problems before and is now facing the possibility of bankruptcy."
Jiang Hong interrupted his old man's speech and said, "Uncle Zhong, this is wrong. His factory is about to close down, and you are still introducing my wife to him. Isn't this cheating my wife?"
