Zhou Bang stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had expected Ye Yanhan to ask about the passbook, and a faint smile remained on his face.
"Dad, inside the red envelope you gave me was a passbook with 5,000 yuan in it. Did you know that?"
"I put it in there, how could I not know?" Zhou Bang said with a smile, "Although I am over 40 years old, I am not old and confused."
"But..." Ye Han was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should ask.
"Are you asking why I gave you so much money?" Zhou Bang asked.
"Yes, five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money," Ye Han said, "Does godmother know about this?"
"Xianhan, since I've given you the passbook, don't ask any more questions," Zhou Bang sighed, "I saved all this money myself, your mother won't ask."
Ye Xuanhan understood in his heart that it seemed that he would not be able to get anything out of him today.
Inside the house, Jiang Aihua called out Ye Xuanhan's name and asked her to hurry in and eat some fruit.
...
...
She could only keep her doubts in her heart and turned to go into the house.
Inside the house, Zhou Jing and Jiang Wang were chatting idly. Both of them had cold personalities, and the air pressure around them dropped a bit when they sat together.
Ye Hanhan greeted Zhou Jing with a smile and said, "Brother, long time no see."
Zhou Jing already knew that Ye Hanhan was adopted as a goddaughter by his parents, so he was not surprised by calling him "big brother".
He nodded slightly to Ye Hanhan to show his welcome, and then continued to chat with Jiang Wang about recent events.
Ye Hanhan sat aside and listened quietly, thinking that the two of them would talk about some military matters, but he didn't expect that they were talking about Wei Xing's family.
When Zhou Jing learned that Jiang Wang had gone to Southern Province alone to visit Wei Xing's family, he frowned.
"Jiang Wang, I am also very sad about Wei Xing's sacrifice. The organization has arranged for someone to express condolences. You don't need to worry about it. In the future, try to go to the Southern Province as little as possible to avoid getting into trouble."
Zhou Jing has been in the army longer than Jiang Wang, so he has naturally seen a lot. It is also a good intention for him to ask Jiang Wang to have as little contact with the Wei family as possible.
"I know my limits," Jiang Wang said.
During this period, with the company of Han, his guilt dissipated a lot, and he rarely dreamed about Wei Xing.
Zhou Jing felt much more relieved and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he talked to Jiang Wang about military affairs.
Ye Xuanhan was not very interested in this, so he went to help Jiang Aihua cook.
Today is the 29th day of the lunar year. Jiang Aihua made dumplings and fried some vegetables.
Ye Hanhan was a little curious. He had been here for such a long time but hadn't even seen Zhou Siqi. He wondered if she was at home.
So he asked, "Mom, isn't Zhou Siqi at home?"
"She went out to play with her friends," Jiang Aihua paused, "and she is said to be back in the evening."
Ye Hanhan knew without thinking that Zhou Siqi's so-called friend must be Jiang Mei, her so-called sister-in-law.
The other party must have run away because she didn't want to see me, but it's better this way, so I don't have to deal with her again.
After cooking, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang sat together with the Zhou family and had a happy meal.
The atmosphere was good, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Mom, I'm back."
It’s Zhou Siqi who has returned home.
Ye Hanhan was slightly stunned. Didn’t they say Zhou Siqi wouldn’t be back? Why did she run back home at this time?
Jiang Aihua showed an apologetic smile on her face and looked at Ye Hanhan somewhat helplessly.
"Yanhan, Siqi is back. I thought she would go out and play for a day."
"It's okay, Mom," Ye Han said.
Zhou Siqi is the biological daughter of this family. As a goddaughter, she is definitely not as good as the other party’s biological daughter.
Zhou Siqi wanted to go home, and she couldn't stop her.
When Jiang Aihua re-entered the room, two people followed him, one was Zhou Siqi and the other was Jiang Mei.
Both of them wore the same sweater and tweed jacket, and walked hand in hand, like real sisters.
After entering the house, Zhou Siqi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Mom, why is Brother Jiang here? You didn't even tell me. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the street with Jiang Mei."
"Girl, go wash your hands and eat," Jiang Aihua urged, and then turned to ask Jiang Mei, "Jiang Mei, have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and eat together? Your elder brother and sister-in-law are here too."
As soon as Jiang Mei entered the room, she saw Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang. The expression on her face was a little distorted, but in the end she still said nothing and silently followed Jiang Aihua to the kitchen to get the rice.
When they came out with their bowls, they walked around the dining table and went to a room inside.
When Jiang Aihua came out, she saw that Jiang Mei and Zhou Siqi did not sit at the dining table, but went into the house instead, so she asked, "Why don't you two eat outside? I cooked a large table of food today."
"No need to sit down," Zhou Siqi's voice came from the inner room, "Jiang Mei and I will eat in my room. She doesn't want to sit with someone right now."
Ye Yanhan's heart was calm, but Zhou Bang, who was sitting opposite her, began to look gloomy. He said to Jiang Aihua, who was serving food to Zhou Siqi and Jiang Mei, "If they like to sit inside, then let them sit inside. Why bother so much? Stop serving them food and sit down to eat together."
Zhou Bang was angry, and if Jiang Aihua couldn't see it, then it would be a waste of their thirty years of marriage.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't spoil that girl anymore," Jiang Aihua sat down again.
Ye Xuanhan had a very pleasant meal. Apart from the somewhat unpleasant incident of Zhou Siqi returning home, there was nothing wrong with the meal.
Zhou Bang and Jiang Aihua both cared about her very much and talked to her from time to time, just like an ordinary family.
After dinner, Jiang Wang and Ye Han prepared to say goodbye and go home to see their children.
Who knew that just as they went out, Zhou Siqi came out holding Jiang Mei's hand, looked at Ye Han and snorted, then went outside again with her nose in the air.
Jiang Aihua scolded, "Siqi, Yanhan and Jiang Wang are both going home, why didn't you even say hello?"
"Mom," Zhou Siqi said with a hint of disdain in her voice, "I'm in a hurry to go out to the movies with Jiang Mei. I don't have time to deal with some insignificant people."
"You..." Jiang Aihua was so angry that her tongue was tied.
Zhou Bang said angrily: "Zhou Siqi, what did we teach you before? How come you don't know any etiquette?"
Zhou Siqi pretended not to hear it, holding Jiang Mei's hand and trotting out of the family compound.
Zhou Jing held Jiang Aihua's arm and said, "Mom, you go back first. I'll go see Yan Han and Jiang Wang off."
"Go, go," Jiang Aihua forced a smile towards Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang, then went back to the house with Zhou Bang.
