It's 5:30 in the morning. It's still dark and the moon is still hanging in the sky. Everyone should still be asleep, right?

But he was fine after waking up, and he was still wearing clothes.

Having learned from the previous experience, Han Jingchen did not suffer from insomnia that night, as he did not have a quilt or a pillow to sleep on. However, his strong biological clock still woke him up early.

After running, I was sweating all over. I took a shower while it was still dark.

In this yard, apart from the compartment where Pei Manning slept, there was a small compartment with a bathtub, and there was no other place to take a bath.

He used two buckets of well water to wash off the sweat on his body in no time, then went back to the house to change his clothes, which were still simple and neat, a crisp military uniform. With a click of his slender fingers, he buckled his belt and put on his hat.

He is the type of person who looks muscular when he is naked, but looks thin when he is dressed.

It was not until breakfast that Han Jingchen realized something was wrong.

Because Pei Manning only glanced at him once from beginning to end, and glared at him secretly, he actually saw a feeling of dissatisfaction in her charming little eyes.

Han Jingchen was stunned for a moment. When did he make her unhappy?

However, when Pei Manning was sulking, she really looked more like a sixteen-year-old girl than before.

Pei Manning was usually too gentle. To put it nicely, she was calm; to put it bluntly, she was as calm as still water. She had erected an invisible wall around her, keeping a distance from everyone that made her feel safe.

So, she is gentle, polite but not approachable to everyone.

Han Jingchen raised his eyebrows, and under his long eyebrows were a pair of sharp and deep eyes: "You want to eat this?"

He had picked up the last steamed bun and put it in Pei Manning's bowl, so she ate a few more, didn't she? As for glaring at him?

He trains every day. Pilots also have to maintain good physical fitness. It is no easier than the Marines. They exercise a lot and eat a lot.

When he eats, his movements are not elegant, but not rough either. It's just that his appetite is a bit alarming.

But, as a grown man, how could he snatch food from a little girl?

Pei Manning suddenly felt helpless: "..."

On the April 15th, Han's mother was going to take the train back home.

"Manning, I will come to see you next time I come to Nanjing. If you go to the capital, remember to come to my house to play." Mother Han held Pei Manning's hand reluctantly.

"Okay, auntie, these are the cakes and eggs. Here's also a jar of meat sauce. Remember to eat them on the way." Auntie Han was very kind to her and gave her the specialties she brought from the capital. Pei Manning also reciprocated.

"Why is there so much? How can I finish it all by myself?" Han's mother was surprised. How much flour and meat would it take to eat so much? She quickly said, "Keep it for yourself. You are still growing up, so you need to eat more to replenish your body."

"I have another one. It's specially for you."

Pei Manning's food is specially made to be durable, so it will not go bad even if it cannot be finished in a short time.

Han Jingchen looked at the two people being so affectionate with each other, and if one didn't know, one would think they were mother and daughter.

However, his mother did always want a concubine, but all she gave birth to were sons. She punched his father and decided not to have any more children.

He took the luggage to the car and said, "Okay, Mom, keep it. If you don't leave now, you will miss the train."

As for those things, he would buy them back directly and give them to Pei Manning.

After sending the people onto the train, Han Jingchen sent Pei Manning back to the small courtyard. Seeing that it was getting late, he returned to the army to cancel his leave.

This time, because they dropped three balloons in Shanghai, their rotation mission in Shanghai was also completed. Their independent flying team won several second-class and third-class merits, and there will be a commendation meeting when they return to the camp.

"Brother Chen, has my aunt gone back?" During the evening rest time, Jiang Ye ran to Han Jingchen. That day, Brother Chen received a call and rushed back in a hurry. No one knew what happened afterwards.

Han Jingchen handed him a package: "For you."

Jiang Ying took the heavy package and opened it. There were not only some cakes and canned food, but also a lot of dried meat, candy and dried fruit. She was surprised and said, "Aunt brought you so many good things?"

"Pei Manning asked me to bring you the pastries and canned food." Han Jingchen tidied up the basic books on the desk and replied without raising his head.

"Ah? Comrade Pei made it himself?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye glanced to the right with a sly look and quickly hid the things, otherwise they would be sniffed out by a group of hungry wolves.

"As for the other things, take them back later and share them with everyone." Han Jingchen pointed to another package.

"Okay," Jiang Ye agreed readily, and then he remembered something else, "By the way, Brother Chen, didn't you apply to adopt a retired military officer? The application has been approved, so luckily there is a wolf-blue Kunming officer who has retired."

The food standards for retired soldiers are not low, but even so, there are many people in the army who want to adopt them.

After all, they can detect the enemy, perform alert, search and rescue, and patrol tasks, have a keen sense of smell, obey orders, and can bite and fight the enemy, so many people are vying to adopt them.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ye said worriedly: "However, that army dog ​​has seen blood and looks a bit fierce. I guess Comrade Pei will be afraid. Otherwise, why not adopt a young dog? There are also some young dogs that were eliminated during training."

Because they were a little scared when Zheng Geng climbed over the wall into the yard last time. This time it was Zheng Geng, and next time it could be another gangster. If they placed Comrade Pei here, wouldn't they be indirectly harming a little girl?

With this hidden danger, they simply applied for a retired army to increase alertness, so as to wake up the neighbors and intimidate some scoundrels. Han Jingchen's salary is not low, so he can still afford to keep an extra army.

Han Jingchen paused, his eyes moved slightly: "Young girl?"

"Yeah, I heard that he was pretty good, but he was eliminated during the training process."

"Let me take a look first."

Taking a break, Han Jingchen picked another puppy, an East German shepherd introduced from the Soviet Union in 1959. It had light fur, light bones, and large ears, a bit like its ancestor, the Holder family.

Looking at the chubby, wet-eyed, ball-like puppy, Han Jingchen fell in love with him at first sight and thought Pei Manning would like him.

As for why he chose the one Pei Manning liked, he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Brother Chen, why do you want to raise such a young child?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment when he saw him choose for a long time and then bring back a fat little puppy.

What can you do with such a small puppy? It can kick very far.

Aren't there some medium-sized puppies that are a little bit bigger but have been trained and eliminated?

"Just train it a few times and it will be fine." Han Jingchen doesn't care about the size, smaller ones are easier to tame.

On weekends, when Han Jingchen had half a day off, he would take the two dogs, one big and one small, back home.
