Chapter 24 Such a cold-faced officer is actually afraid of his wife
Xiao Jinchuan hummed softly.
Watching Song Yunqing add spoonful after spoonful of chili to her bowl, her throat started to burn just by watching.
"I found the footprints the next day and recognized them."
Xiao Jinchuan swallowed a big mouthful without changing his expression, and coughed due to choking.
"I only gave you a little bit today. If you still think it's spicy, I won't give you any next time."
"You should put some in. It tastes good."
It’s not that he hasn’t eaten spicy food before, but for some reason, the spicy food fried by Song Yunqing is very fragrant.
As usual, Song Yunqing made him a cup of warm water and added honey.
"Is that Captain Wang they're talking about really that nice? He even invited Yao Xinjie to drink? I just don't think that's possible."
Xiao Jinchuan took a sip of the honey water. "I'm not familiar with him. I've only met him a few times before. I heard he comes from an ordinary family. He's very polite and has a good temper. Everyone who knows him says he's an out-and-out good person."
Song Yunqing nodded thoughtfully: "If so many people think he's a good person, he must be right."
"But how come Yao Xinjie seems to have done so many bad things, yet no one really hates him?"
Xiao Jinchuan looked at the sea and said, "He saved two children during high tide."
Song Yunqing was silent. It turned out that there was such a reason behind this.
The next day, Xiao Jinchuan had not yet finished get off work. Song Yunqing waited until the sun set before she saw Yao Xinjie staggering to the door carrying a broken ladder.
Song Yunqing hung the kelp in his hand on the rack.
"Why don't you wait until after dinner and dark before coming over?"
Yao Xinjie scoffed, "I'm already giving you a lot of face by coming here."
He walked to the eaves and deliberately threw the ladder to the ground: "Miss Capitalist, the ladder is broken."
Song Yunqing knew what the plan was at a glance. It was nothing more than trying to slack off so that he would have an excuse to go home when it got dark.
"It's okay, I have a spare."
Without even looking up, she brought over a brand new ladder from the courtyard wall, the corners of which were reinforced with aluminum alloy.
"Now, throw it, this time you won't break it!"
Yao Xinjie's eyes widened: "Where did you get this?"
Song Yunqing clapped his hands: "This is specially made to protect you. We have all the other tools as well. Feel free to throw them."
Until Song Yunqing pulled out a box, which was filled with a whole box of tools.
“There are more varieties than what’s sold outside!”
Song Yunqing remained silent.
Outside the yard, a few people were chatting while enjoying the cool air.
"This is the first time I've seen Yao Xinjie be so obedient."
"If you ask me, this is what they call a nemesis. Yao Xinjie is usually a scoundrel, but now he has hit a wall!"
Song Yunqing stood at the edge of the courtyard wall, watching the sun that was about to disappear completely, casting a red glow on the horizon.
The blue ocean, the golden sky, the water and the sky are connected.
I was mesmerized for a moment.
"When did he come?"
Xiao Jinchuan's voice suddenly rang out, calling Song Yunqing's attention back.
"I've been here for a while, but I don't know how much I've done."
Because she didn't hear any sound of repairing the roof at all.
"He was really unlucky. He knew our roof was about to collapse, and he happened to run into the gun."
When Xiao Jinchuan heard the words "our home" from her mouth, a strange feeling came over him. It was an indescribable sense of security, as if his wandering heart had finally found a place to rest.
"Yeah, our family."
Hearing Xiao Jinchuan's voice, Yao Xinjie squatted on the roof and looked down.
"Deputy Captain Xiao, I'm here according to our agreement. You said you would provide me with food, but I didn't eat this afternoon."
Xiao Jinchuan: "I won't go back on my word."
With Xiao Jinchuan's assurance, Yao Xinjie finally felt relieved and carefully checked the tiles on the roof.
When he turned the corner of the eaves, Yao Xinjie suddenly exclaimed "Huh".
Song Yunqing covered his forehead with his hands: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Yao Xinjie picked up the tile. There seemed to be words engraved on it, but because a long time had passed, it was covered with green moss.
He picked up a piece of broken stone and gently rubbed off the green moss on it.
"Wang Desheng, August 1965."
Xiao Jinchuan had climbed the ladder at some point, and standing aside, he saw the words on the tiles. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is this the family compound that Captain Wang built with his troops?"
Yao Xinjie's voice was a little muffled. "Yes, back then, Captain Wang was still full of confidence and planning the future of the island."
Planning the future of the island, unfortunately, Captain Wang’s future will no longer come.
"Deputy Captain Xiao, Captain Wang will be back once he recovers from his illness, right?"
Xiao Jinchuan nodded: "I'll come back once I recover."
Yao Xinjie gave a silly smile and said, "Okay, I'll replace the tile for you. I'll keep this one and show it to Captain Wang later."
A complex emotion suddenly surged in Xiao Jinchuan's heart. He didn't know what to say, so he patted Yao Xinjie on the shoulder and walked down the ladder.
He entered the house and saw the small house in full view. Song Yunqing was busy in the kitchen.
"How about we have salted fish stewed with rice today?"
Xiao Jinchuan nodded: "Anyway, the food you cook is delicious."
Song Yunqing was surprised that he was so sweet today.
She quietly walked to Xiao Jinchuan's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I've prepared food for five people."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinchuan understood that Song Yunqing knew what he meant.
But he still wanted to confirm: "There are only three of us."
Song Yunqing smiled slyly: "There are only three of us, but aren't there one adult and two children outside?"
The two smiled in tacit understanding.
"Well, I understand you, don't I? As soon as you made that suggestion, I knew what you wanted to do."
Xiao Jinchuan is really a good person, a good person in the traditional sense.
She had once told Xiao Jinchuan, "If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself."
But she thought Xiao Jinchuan should like that sentence more.
"I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy."
Xiao Jinchuan: "Since you are responsible for the household expenses, then my allowance will be given to you for safekeeping. Remember to tell me if it's not enough."
Song Yunqing agreed without hesitation. Who would complain about having too much money?
Although what she stole from the Song family was enough for her to spend for a lifetime, Xiao Jinchuan was a traditional man and he would never agree to keep spending his wife's money.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you."
She lifted the lid of the pot and poked the rice with her chopsticks to make sure it was almost done.
The fish oil seeps into the rice, which is topped with pickled salted hairtail chunks, stewed together with the rice, making it both economical and filling.
As soon as he lifted the lid of the pot, Yao Xinjie immediately smelled the fragrance.
Standing on the roof, shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Song Yunqing shouted in a bad mood: "Come down and eat."
Xiao Jinchuan helped to bring out two bowls of rice.
When Yao Xinjie saw the fish on the table, his eyes lit up.
Song Yunqing brought out the third bowl and saw Yao Xinjie already holding his chopsticks and ready to eat.
"Wait, I just finished my work, go wash your hands."
Yao Xinjie paused and said, "I'm not using my hands, so why should I wash my hands?"
"Hands are dirty and carry bacteria, which is bad for your health."
Yao Xinjie's stomach was rumbling, but he had no choice but to wash his hands as Song Yunqing asked.
"Deputy Captain Xiao, she's so troublesome, can you bear it?"
Xiao Jinchuan paused in washing his hands. It seemed that he had never paid enough attention to washing his hands before meals.
When did it start?
Yes, it started when Song Yunqing got married.
It turns out that he has been changed so much imperceptibly.
"Don't hold back."
"Why?"
"Because I think she's right."
Xiao Jinchuan washed his hands and left first. Yao Xinjie curled his lips as he looked at his tall back.
He is a deputy head of a regiment, but he is afraid of his wife!
Tell this to others and they will laugh for three days and three nights!
Song Yunqing originally thought that he had prepared enough, but he didn't expect that Yao Xinjie finished the amount for two people by himself. After eating two big bowls, he still felt unsatisfied.
"Anything else?"
Song Yunqing nodded helplessly: "Yes."
Yao Xinjie took the bowl and headed for the kitchen: "Then give me another bowl."
Song Yunqing was completely defeated. She was negligent today and must prepare more tomorrow.
But unexpectedly, after Yao Xinjie filled his plate, he did not eat it himself. Instead, he pressed it tightly and stared at it without blinking.
"Aren't you full? Eat now! Otherwise, you'll go out and tell everyone that I didn't give you food."
Yao Xinjie touched his round belly with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Anyway, I see you still have so much in the pot, and this bowl was originally intended for me, so can I take it away?"
Song Yunqing understood. So this is what he was thinking about!
"sure."
Nonsense, this is specially prepared for you.
Yao Xinjie looked at the full bowl of rice and three pieces of fish, and he couldn't help feeling happy. If he could take it back, the three of them would have something to eat, and they would be so happy.
"If you're done eating, go back first. Remember to come over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll definitely come on time tomorrow."
It is a good thing to be grateful for what you have received, and it is also a good thing to be grateful for what you have received, especially when you are the one who is taking the food.
But just as Yao Xinjie stood up, he suddenly heard Song Yunqing sigh.
"What should I do? I seem to have cooked too much food today. Are you still going to eat?"
Xiao Jinchuan shook his head: "I can't eat anymore, I'm full."
Song Yunqing pretended to be distressed: "What should I do? There are so many left. Should I throw them away?"
Yao Xinjie was anxious: "You are so wasteful. You are going to throw away such good food. You will be punished by God."
Seeing Yao Xinjie's anxious look, Song Yunqing almost couldn't hold back his laughter: "What should we do? It's just a waste if we can't finish it."
Yao Xinjie thought about it and finally came up with a perfect solution: "If you really can't finish it, give it to me. I'll take it home and feed it to my wife."
Song Yunqing said jokingly: "You are quite good to your wife!"
"Nonsense, she married me, if I don't treat her well, how can I treat you well?"
Xiao Jinchuan glanced at him coldly, and Yao Xinjie immediately shut up tactfully.
Song Yunqing found a small bowl and put the remaining stewed rice into it.
"Remember to bring the basin back tomorrow."
Yao Xinjie was about to nod when he suddenly covered his stomach with a look of pain on his face.
