"You make beef jerky..."
Zhang Jizhou's slightly hesitant tone made Fang Yan pause for a moment, "Hmm?"
"Could you make a little more?" Zhang Jizhou, who was never picky about food, was too embarrassed to admit that he missed Fang Yan's cooking, and asked hesitantly.
Fang Yan quickly came to her senses and laughed, "Okay, I'll make a little more and send some to you later."
"Please give me the address again."
Suddenly remembering that he had given her the address last time, Fang Yan wondered where she had put it.
Zhang Jizhou read out the address, which Fang Yan wrote down: province, city, county, and then the name of the military unit.
Fortunately, it wasn't long, and it was easy to remember.
Otherwise, Fang Yan wouldn't have paper and pen right now, and she might forget about it again in the blink of an eye.
Upon hearing that Zhang Jizhou's address was in the Northwest, she pondered for a moment and asked, "I think you can eat spicy food there?"
"Um."
"I'll make the portion for you spicy."
Gouzi Village is located in the south, where the food is light and people prefer the natural sweetness of food. They don't like to add spice when cooking.
Zhang Jizhou came from here, so naturally he's familiar with the local food. So, Fang Yan's words... meant she was making him a separate spicy dish?
Poor Zhang Jizhou, who had been married for three years but had never known what it was like to be in a relationship, suddenly felt a flutter in his heart and realized without being taught that this was what it felt like to be in a relationship.
It's actually not bad.
"good."
Now, without his partner glaring at him with exasperation, he can naturally soften his tone.
"I wrote you two letters, didn't you receive them?"
Yesterday I was so focused on the case that I forgot to mention these other things.
"Huh? Two letters?"
Fang Yan said, "I only received one letter."
"I sent the first letter a long time ago but didn't receive a reply from you. I thought it might have been lost and you didn't receive it, so I sent a second one. Which one did you receive?"
Fang Yan touched her nose and said a little embarrassedly, "Well... I've been meaning to reply to you, but I've been so busy lately, one thing after another, that I forgot."
She absolutely refused to admit that in the days leading up to this, she had completely forgotten about replying to the letter.
"It's alright, the second letter should arrive soon. Just ask someone at the post office."
Her explanation calmed Zhang Jizhou's anxious heart to some extent.
However, he couldn't control his mind and kept thinking about Wei Jiahong. The questions he wanted to ask Fang Yan about Wei Jiahong were already on the tip of his tongue.
I don't know where this straight man got his inspiration, but he swallowed those words back without ruining the rare warm atmosphere.
"Okay, I'll ask him later. You can say a few words to Little Fish."
Fang Yan wanted the father and son to develop a relationship.
But who would have thought that the little fish, who had been standing obediently by her side, would suddenly run away, saying, "No, I don't want to talk to my bad dad who never protects his mom."
Although the little guy runs fast, he's not quiet at all.
Even through the microphone, his father could hear everything clearly on the other end of the phone.
Although Zhang Jizhou wanted to catch the kid and give him a spanking, he felt guilty when he thought about what Xiaoyuzai had said. Living apart, he could take care of everyone else but not his own family.
“Fang Yan, um, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you,” Zhang Jizhou said, feeling that now was the right time, and brought up the matter of you joining the army. “I’d like you and the child to come with me as soon as possible. Do you… have any objections?”
Straight men are indeed straight men; even their questions are very direct.
Fang Yan: ...
"If I have a problem with it, can I just not go?"
Fang Yan, who was about to hang up because of the high phone bill, couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Jizhou was taken aback. What wife doesn't want to be reunited with her husband?
Coming to his senses, he remembered that Fang Yan was only his wife in name only, and he immediately became clear-headed again. "Fang Yan, Xiao Yu is growing up. If we continue to be separated like this, the kid will hardly recognize me in the future."
A sudden inspiration struck her. After a slight pause, she heard him soften his voice and whisper, "Didn't you want to test me? You have to come here to test whether I can do it well and meet your requirements, right?"
This could be considered his way of subtly expressing to her that he also wanted her to come.
Does this mean that what those teenagers and young men in their twenties say counts as a confession of love?
If Fang Yan had mind-reading abilities, she would probably roll her eyes in exasperation at Zhang Jizhou's "inner thoughts."
Is this what you call expression?
ha!
Just because you never had a relationship in your past life doesn't mean you don't know how to have one.
I may not have eaten pork, but I've certainly seen pigs run!
However, precisely because she doesn't have mind-reading abilities, she doesn't need to get angry or upset.
When will you likely join the army?
Fang Yan genuinely did not want to go with the army.
Not only would it prevent her from making money, but the conditions in the Northwest are so harsh these days. She could live a comfortable life in the South.
Later, countless people with lofty ideals responded to the call of the nation to support the development of Northwest China and devoted themselves to the great cause of building Northwest China, which led to the prosperity of Northwest China later.
The Great Northwest is now poor and backward, with yellow sand and mud everywhere.
However, Fang Yan also realized that Xiao Yuzai really had no feelings for Zhang Jizhou at all.
That's true. This father and son haven't spent much time together. How can he possibly have any feelings for Zhang Jizhou, his nominal father?
In any case, the father and son need to spend some time together first.
“I’m applying, and I can come anytime as soon as a house becomes available.”
Zhang Jizhou couldn't say for sure when that would happen.
Perhaps someone will move out soon;
It may take some time.
Fang Yan: ...
"Let's discuss this further once we've made some progress on this matter."
Isn't this a complete waste of her phone bill?
"My phone bill is very high, so I'll leave it at that and hang up."
Zhang Jizhou knew that phone calls weren't cheap, so he quickly said, "From now on, I won't keep a single penny of my allowance; it will all be yours. Just call me if you need anything."
Fang Yan: ...
Brother, you make it sound like you can carry a landline phone out on a mission.
However, he knew that saving all the money and sending it back to her would make Fang Yan quite satisfied.
She wasn't after his small allowance, but it at least showed that he still cared about his family and always wanted to send money home, no matter how much or how little he had.
Well, a man who knows to bring all his money home is definitely a good quality.
