Chapter 153 This is utter nonsense
"A sincere guarantee is a sincere guarantee."
Du Ruoxia looked at him with a half-smile, and Xia Zuming quickly waved his hand.
"Don't you know what it means to see through something but not say it?"
"I'm fine with staying for dinner, but I hope you can cook more meat. My dog, Baka, did a great job today, so I need to reward him properly."
"Of course, no problem."
Xia Zuming readily agreed, and Baka was so excited to hear that there would be meat for lunch that he yelled with delight.
It jumped into Du Ruoxia's arms, its little head nuzzling against her belly.
Its little tail was held high and kept wagging at her.
Next, Du Ruoxia helped him watch the shop, while Xia Zuming went to cook the dishes on his own.
The ingredients in the store are all purchased every morning, and they are all fresh meat and vegetables.
Xia Zuming's hands are not only good at cutting medicinal herbs, but also at cutting vegetables.
Zhao Jiajun, who had been clamoring to stay, was now somewhat nervous.
He sat in a chair against the wall with his head down, his hands tightly clasped together.
Seeing him like this, Du Ruoxia couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Jiajun, what's wrong with you today? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Zhao Jiajun looked up at her with a conflicted expression, and after a while, he stammered.
"That's right, I'm just afraid that Yan-ge will scold me when I get back."
He lowered his head after saying that. He wasn't afraid of anyone else, but when Yang Zeyan got stern, it could really be deadly.
He won't know anything.
Du Ruoxia's words immediately delighted Zhao Jiajun.
"Really?"
He's not stupid; he naturally knows what those words mean.
"Of course, I'm not going to tell him anyway, and I can't stop you if you want to."
Zhao Jiajun fully understood what she meant and happily stood up from his chair.
"I definitely won't tell!"
Zhao Jiajun was practically swearing an oath to the heavens, but Du Ruoxia smiled slightly and didn't continue the conversation.
After all this commotion today, she and Zhao Jiajun have developed a revolutionary friendship.
He still has some leverage over him. He was polite to me before because of Yang Zeyan, but he should be polite to me from the bottom of his heart from now on.
Xia Zuming efficiently prepared the meal: a simple four-dish meal with a soup, and he also stir-fried an extra bowl of meat without any scallions, ginger, garlic, or chili.
It goes without saying that the bowl of meat was prepared for Baka.
Baka smelled the aroma of meat and started yelling with ravenous desire.
As soon as Xia Zuming put the bowl on the ground, it couldn't wait to pounce on it and start eating.
"I was in a rush today and didn't have time to buy any fancy dishes, so it's just a few simple home-style dishes. I hope you won't mind."
"I don't mind at all!"
Looking at the dishes that looked and smelled delicious, Zhao Jiajun had nothing to complain about.
In the army, we ate communal meals. As long as we were full, we didn't care about the taste.
Zhao Jiajun took the initiative to get up and serve rice to everyone.
Du Ruoxia and Xia Zuming each had a small bowl, but he took an extra-large bowl and filled it to the brim with rice.
Du Ruoxia was quite shocked to see how much he could eat.
Do you usually eat this much?
"Yes, we soldiers have to train every day, which consumes a lot of energy and we eat a lot too."
"oh."
Du Ruoxia gave a faint "oh".
To prove that he was right, Zhao Jiajun immediately added another sentence.
"Yan-ge ate even more than me!"
"Yeah?"
But Yang Zeyan was clearly very polite when he ate at their house.
Was he faking it? Was he deliberately not eating enough so they would know he was a glutton?
"yes."
Zhao Jiajun's voice weakened considerably, and when Du Ruoxia looked at him again, he became increasingly less confident.
I'll ask him about it later.
Du Ruoxia said this on purpose, and Zhao Jiajun, who was originally enjoying his meal, now felt that the food in his bowl no longer tasted good.
Zhao Jiajun scratched his head sheepishly as Xia Zuming finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out.
He also saw the small bowl of rice in front of him. He didn't say anything, picked up the bowl, and started eating voraciously.
Xia Zuming's home-style cooking was excellent, and the group enjoyed the meal immensely.
Baka was even more impressive; despite his small size, he managed to finish an entire bowl of meat.
After dinner, Zhao Jiajun was in a hurry to go back.
He brought his sister-in-law over this morning and hasn't gone back yet.
If Yang Zeyan asks, it will be really hard to explain.
Du Ruoxia noticed the anxiety between his brows and stood up to go back.
Xia Zuming didn't try to stop him, but just nodded slightly and couldn't help asking another question.
"Are you coming back in three days? If you don't, where will that person look for you when they wake up?"
Du Ruoxia left him an address, "If that person wakes up to repay my life-saving grace, then come to me at this address."
"Now that we know your phone number and address, we still don't know your name, miracle doctor?"
"I dare not call myself a miracle doctor. My name is Du Ruoxia."
On the way back, Zhao Jiajun drove very fast, and Du Ruoxia couldn't help but ask him questions.
Do you have a task this afternoon?
I wasn't in a hurry at all in the morning, but in the afternoon it felt like I was being chased by a ghost.
The contrast was too great, and Du Ruoxia couldn't quite understand it.
"I'm relatively free today, and I don't have any tasks. But I've been gone for so long, and I'm worried about how I'll explain it later."
Zhao Jiajun smiled憨厚ly, and Du Ruoxia immediately knew what was troubling him.
"When you get back to the unit, if Yang Zeyan asks, just say that I was dawdling and didn't want to leave."
Du Ruoxia volunteered to take the blame, which moved Zhao Jiajun deeply.
"That won't do. I can't put all the blame on you!"
He was still clear-headed, and at the same time, he had a clearer understanding of Du Ruoxia's character.
She is a responsible and caring sister-in-law.
She would rather wrong herself than wrong others.
Thinking of the rumors some soldiers in the army made about her, saying that Du Ruoxia was beautiful and alluring, and had completely bewitched Staff Officer Yang.
That's utter nonsense!
No! It's true that she's beautiful, but the idea that she's alluring is pure nonsense.
Damn it, if he had such a beautiful, gentle, considerate, brave, and resourceful wife, wouldn't he spoil her rotten?
Yan Ge likes her and treats her well; isn't that what a normal man should do?
Could it be that someone with such a beautiful wife wouldn't cherish her and would leave her alone in an empty room?
Only a fool would do that!
Zhao Jiajun grew angrier the more he thought about it. His sister-in-law was such a good person, there was no fault in her at all!
From now on, he will be his sister-in-law's number one supporter. Anyone who dares to gossip about his sister-in-law behind her back will be in big trouble if he hears it!
The car stopped at the entrance of the family compound. Zhao Jiajun respectfully opened the car door for Du Ruoxia and then quickly went to the trunk to get the medicinal herbs.
He carried a huge pile by himself, and Du Ruoxia carried the rest.
Although Zhao Jiajun hadn't been there long, the guards had seen his name tag, and Du Ruoxia, who frequently came and went, had also become a familiar face in the family compound.
Now they can enter without being asked anything; the door is opened and they are allowed to pass directly.
Zhao Jiajun helped Du Ruoxia carry all the medicinal herbs into the yard.
He stood at the door, rubbed his hands together, and smiled sheepishly.
"Yan-ge hasn't come back yet, so I'm too embarrassed to go in. It wouldn't be good if someone saw me."
"I'll leave the things here. Thank you for carrying them inside, sister-in-law."
