I stir-fried a cabbage with ginger, stewed a bowl of radish soup, and fried a plate of eggs. Soon, dinner for three was ready.
His cooking skills were not very good, and the dishes were neither burnt nor salty, but no one complained, as long as they were cooked well.
Especially for Han Jingchen and Jiang Li, their independent brigade not only needs flight training, but also regular training like the Army. In order to ensure better physical fitness and physique, the amount of training is no less than that of the Army.
When I was young, I participated in a comprehensive wild animal training. I was thrown into the wild for a week and ate whatever I caught.
Therefore, they are not picky about food.
During dinner, Pei Manning thought for a while and said to Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye, "The guy named Li Jianrong today, his father is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. I have inquired before. His family is quite powerful. The previous director of the Public Security Bureau was approved by them..."
Having said this, Pei Manning raised her eyes, looked at the expressions of the two men, and continued: "If you help me today, they might cause trouble for you."
As a distant relative, Mrs. Li often boasted about her. Many people in the courtyard knew how powerful Deputy Director Li was and how popular his home was.
His son Li Jianrong was recommended to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and his daughter joined the art troupe because of her status as the child of a revolutionary cadre. Even his relatives who were more closely related were arranged to work as temporary workers, and then became regular employees and entered the power structure of the unit. It can be said that everything went smoothly for him.
This time, she thought she would offend the other party badly.
I don't know what tricks the other party will use to deal with her next?
However, she must tell Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye about this as soon as possible, lest they be unaware and be retaliated against. After all, it is easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ye was not afraid after hearing all this. Instead, he snorted: "I wonder why this kid surnamed Li is so arrogant. He threatened me on the road and told me to wait. Hey, I want to see how they can cause trouble for us. Our troops don't do these things. Besides, our Brother Shen is still..."
Before he could finish his words, Han Jingchen kicked him under the table. Jiang Ye came to his senses all of a sudden and almost choked out his lips.
Jiang Ye quickly stopped talking and said, "In any case, the other party will definitely not be able to get their hands into the army. Comrade Pei, you don't have to worry about us. But you should be more careful at ordinary times."
Pei Manning glanced at Han Jingchen, who was stern, and nodded: "I know."
After dinner and washing the dishes, Han Jingchen and Jiang Li went to stay in the guesthouse.
All the way, Jiang Ye kept saying, "Brother Chen, I'm not worried about the Li family dealing with us. I'm a little worried that they'll pick on Comrade Pei and take her out on him. If they find a reason to take her away for questioning, then we'll have to stay in the camp. Wouldn't Comrade Pei, a weak woman, be isolated and helpless?"
This kind of thing is not uncommon. It would be fine if the other party is reasonable, but I am afraid that the other party is completely unreasonable.
Han Jingchen walked in front and said, "Let's find out the situation of the Li family first."
Now the family hasn't done anything yet, and they can't conclude that the family is going to do something bad to them.
However, listening to what Pei Manning said, the Li family is not selfless and dedicated to serving the public.
Han Jingchen predicted correctly. That night, the Li family also set off a huge storm.
"How could Jianrong be a hooligan? How many lesbians are trying to find a partner for Jianrong, but he hasn't even looked at any of them. How could he be a hooligan to a lesbian like you? Lao Li, this must be a misunderstanding. Let them investigate it carefully!"
When Li's mother heard that Li Jianrong was arrested by the police for being a hooligan, she felt angry and anxious.
"I have asked my secretary to go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about this matter. They said that Jianrong had assaulted a lesbian in the alley and was caught in the act by Comrade Jiajun. There is no physical evidence."
"Impossible!" Li's mother said, "Jianrong can't do this. Are you trying to frame him?"
Father Li sat on the sofa and said, "The secretary said that Comrade Xiao from the Xiao family army showed his military certificate. He is of a high rank and has no grudges against him. Why would Xiao family frame him when they have nothing better to do?"
"That's a trap! Yes, a trap! Maybe some shameless vixen seduced our Jianrong and deliberately made a big fuss so that our family would have no choice but to marry her in order to keep things quiet."
If they really wanted to be a hooligan, how many women would dare to make a big fuss? Unless they didn't want to be famous, they would fight to the death.
Being a hooligan is a serious crime. The Li family protected Jianrong, and they can only say that the two were dating. This can only be regarded as a moral issue at most, and it can be passed by writing a review and self-criticism.
But Li's mother felt aggrieved. Wouldn't this allow the other party's evil plan to succeed?
"What's the point of you telling me all this?" Father Li also became impatient. He was the deputy director, and the director Ma Xiao was about to be promoted. He and the other deputy director Ma were both eyeing the position of director.
At this moment, Deputy Director Ma was pulling his braid, and that rascal actually caused such a thing!
Do you think he is not busy enough? Or do you think he is sitting too comfortably?
"Why is it useless? Then as a father, you should quickly find a way to get your son out!" Li's mother was furious. The most urgent thing was to get her son out. Otherwise, it would be freezing cold and Jianrong would get frozen sick while being detained in the Public Security Bureau.
"What can I do? The guy surnamed Ma is trying every means to find fault with me. Isn't this giving him something to hold against me? The provincial leadership team is coming to inspect at this time. What can I do at this juncture?"
"Then there is no other way?"
"Unless the woman changes her testimony."
Mother Li also calmed down, looking grim. After all, her son was more important, so she had to swallow this humiliation first.
"What's the woman's name? Where is her home? I'll go talk to her."
…
The next morning, Pei Manning woke up a little late. Her elbow was in severe pain last night, and she slept for a long time before falling asleep. When she woke up early, it was already bright outside.
There was a pot of hot water on the beehive coal stove in the kitchen. Using the residual heat from the stove, the water was still hot in the morning.
She was struggling with how to cook with her left hand, or she could just eat the cakes and pastries made in the Sumi Realm. Fortunately, she had made a lot of them before and stored them, which was enough for her to eat for a long time...
However, if the neighbors saw that she didn't fire for a long time, they would definitely become suspicious.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the gate of the yard.
Pei Manning's knee was still hurting, so she walked out slowly, stood behind the door, looked out through the crack, and saw Han Jingchen, then she opened the bolt of the door.
"Comrade Han, why are you here today?" She thought Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye would go buy train tickets early this morning.
Han Jingchen came in carrying the breakfast he bought from Dongfeng Hotel and said, "I'll bring you some food."
Pei Manning's elbow was injured and she had to wear a plaster. Her leg was also injured and she couldn't walk too far. If he left her alone again, what would this woman do? Starve herself to death?
Han Jingchen lowered his eyes and noticed that her walking posture was much better, and she was walking straight forward.
Pei Manning was a little dazed for a moment, as if she had just arrived here. At that time, she was hospitalized in Anxian Hospital, and Han Jingchen brought her food, clothes and daily necessities every day.
She didn't know what to say about him when he was like this. When he was smart, he was too smart, and when he was stupid, he was too stupid. He had never thought that if she was really bad, then all this would be in vain.
However, he had a principle that as long as he was not sure that she was bad, he would treat her as normal for the whole day.
She looked at Han Jingchen's back and slowly followed her back to the kitchen.
Han Jingchen had already opened the aluminum lunch box. After walking for such a long time, the buns and porridge inside had already gone cold. He moved the pot of hot water from the beehive coal stove away and put the buns and porridge in to heat it up. "Go sit over there and wait for a few minutes."
Pei Manning nodded: "Okay."
Han Jingchen glanced and saw a basin of hot water in the enamel basin next to him with a white towel in it. It seemed that Pei Manning had medicine on her left hand and ointment on her right hand. She should not be able to squeeze it out, so she gave up.
He looked at Pei Manning, who limped down to a chair and didn't look sad at all.
If it were someone else, and they were reduced to this state, unable to walk properly, unable to cook, unable to wash their own face, and even alone and without anyone to take care of them, they would probably feel sad and uncomfortable.
But Pei Manning seemed calm and composed from beginning to end.
Pei Manning was indeed not sad. If her mother were still alive, she might still act coquettishly to her and complain to her, but her mother was no longer around and would not care about what would happen to her in the future. Pei Manning seemed to have grown up at that time.
In the Pei residence, there were her stepmother, aunt, step-sisters and step-brothers. Her father treated her as a rare commodity. She was careful to maneuver among them every day, and she didn't even dare to reveal the truth about her mother's death, otherwise, her father would not let her go.
Pei Manning didn't trust most of the maids around her, and sometimes even wondered whether her father had given her a chronic poison.
At that time, she was alone in Pei's house and had no time to feel sad, let alone now?
Han Jingchen looked at the water in the enamel basin, hesitated for a moment, and even picked up the handkerchief inside and handed it to Pei Manning: "Use it."
Pei Manning was stunned for a long time, then took the handkerchief and whispered, "Thank you."
