Chapter 56: Random Matchmaking
After dinner, Huo Tingkun took Ye Surong and Jiang Cha to Chief Ji's house.
Huo Jingye said he was going out to play with some friends, put down his bowl, and walked out.
Huo Jingchuan had nothing to do, so he also strolled over to Ji's house.
Jiang Cheng looked at the table full of pots, pans, and utensils, and suddenly he had the illusion that he had come to the staff quarters to be a dishwasher for this large family.
The Ji family had just finished dinner and were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Ji Chongshan was wearing an old man's shirt and holding a large palm-leaf fan in his hand, fanning Mrs. Ji and driving away mosquitoes.
There are a few children playing shuttlecock at the door.
Ji Zhixu suddenly felt like helping them count and acting as a referee.
"Chief Ji, have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten!"
Ji Chongshan looked like a kind old man, without any airs of a leader.
"Tingkun, why are you here?"
Mrs. Ji had some white hair on her temples, but she looked in good spirits.
She got up and went into the house to move a chair.
Jiang Cha and Ye Surong quickly came forward and said, "You don't have to be so polite. We can do it ourselves."
"It's okay, the chair isn't heavy."
Mrs. Ji seems to be a straightforward person who does things neatly and efficiently and doesn't like nagging.
"Zhixu, come and move the chair."
At Chief Ji's command, Ji Zhixu, who was counting for the children, ran back to the house happily, picked up the backs of two chairs with one hand, and came out of the house panting.
"Last time, you helped Su Rong and Jiang Cha get justice. The little girl kept saying thank you to you at home every day. I thought, Su Rong and I have been married for so long, but I haven't brought her to introduce herself to your family yet, so I decided to come together today."
Huo Tingkun pulled a stool and sat opposite Chief Ji, and Ye Surong was pulled by him and sat next to him.
"Chief Ji, I should have come to visit you a long time ago. This is the calming tea I mixed myself. Drink it every day to soothe your mind and help you sleep."
Ye Surong handed the paper bag in her hand to Ji Chongshan.
"And me, Chief Ji, this is a bracelet of medicinal beads I made myself. It's made with herbs that calm the mind and soothe the nerves. Wearing it every day will be good for your health."
Jiang Cha handed over the velvet box, and Ji Chongshan opened it with an exquisite handkerchief. The brown and black beads were round and plump, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, which was quite pleasant.
"Did you do this yourself?"
"yes."
Jiang Cha poked his head and said, "I think Grandma Ji's liver fire is a bit strong. I'll go get some herbs tomorrow and make a bead necklace for Grandma Ji, okay?"
"Oh, this is really beautiful."
Madam Ji took the medicinal beads from Chief Ji and looked at them over and over again. "It smells good too. How old are you this year? How can you tell what's wrong with me at a glance?"
"This is my family's unique skill. My mother also knows it."
Madam Ji returned the beads to Ji Chongshan and said to Ye Surong, "I've seen quite a few people in the compound using the Sanbai Cream and Beauty Cream lately. Are they the ones you mixed?"
"Yes, I brought you a set too, but I don't know if you like it!"
After Ye Surong took out all the things, the bag in her hand suddenly deflated.
"This is a rare thing." Madam Ji took the thing and said, "Let's go upstairs and you teach me how to use it. Let the men chat outside."
Ji Chongshan asked Huo Tingkun, "Want a round?"
Huo Tingkun readily agreed, "Come on, I will definitely beat you today!"
"Haha, that may not be the case!"
Ji Zhixu and Huo Jingchuan moved a small table out of the house and took out Ji Chongshan's chess pieces, and the two of them fought on the chessboard.
Jiang Cha was quite interested in chess. She moved a small stool and sat next to Huo Tingkun to watch the game.
Soon, many people who were out for a walk gathered around to watch the fight.
Huo Jingchuan simply stepped aside, sat on a bamboo chair, and looked up at the fiery clouds in the sky.
Ji Zhixu accompanied him, and the first thing he said was something that pierced his heart: "I think the girl is not interested in you. Look at her, she has been here for a long time and has not looked at you once."
The vein on Huo Jingchuan's forehead jumped, "If you really can't speak, you don't have to say anything!"
Ji Zhixu looked up at the sky and said, "Haha, the sky is really beautiful today!"
Don’t mess with a man who has unrequited love, don’t mess with him!
Inside the room, Ye Surong originally wanted to clean Mrs. Ji's face first.
Mrs. Ji grabbed her hand and said, "I know how to use this. I just want you to come in and talk to me!"
Mrs. Ji pushed Ye Surong to sit on the sofa. On the coffee table were a few small melons that had just been picked from the fields. Mrs. Ji picked out two good-looking ones, cut a plate of small melons, and warmly entertained Ye Surong.
"These are grown by my brothers back home. They are very sweet. You can try them."
"You're so polite."
"Tingkun is able to get married in this life. Chongshan and I are very happy for him."
Madam Ji patted Ye Surong's arm and said, "You may not know that he had already filed a marriage report twenty years ago. At that time, he was seriously injured, and he survived by chanting your name. After finally recovering from his injuries, he went home with joy. But when he came back the next time, he was like a lost soul and never mentioned the marriage report again."
"He's been single all this time. Old Ji doesn't know how much he's worried about his marriage. A man with two children, without even a caring person around him. We all see the pain in his heart. Fortunately, he found you again!"
So, the fatal gunshot wound on his chest was caused by that time?
No wonder they got married and got the marriage certificate as soon as they said they would. It turns out that his marriage report had been submitted for so many years?
"I've also heard about Wang Qing's situation. There are many women who are interested in a man like Ting Kun. However, you are the only one in his heart and by his side. Please don't take that matter to heart!"
Chief Ji's son and daughter-in-law are both scientific researchers of the national ordnance department. They have not been able to come back for several years. Huo Tingkun happened to be an orphan. Over the years, Chief Ji and his wife have treated Huo Tingkun as their own child.
As parents, we all hope to see our children happy and successful.
Ye Surong wiped her tears and said, "I didn't know this, I am sorry for him!"
"I can only blame fate for it. Fortunately, you have finally come together after all the hardships. Old Ji and I hope that you can live the rest of your lives in harmony and happiness."
"Don't worry, we will."
Jiang Cha went from being a chess spectator to a chess player.
Huo Tingkun gave his seat to her.
Ji Chongshan didn't expect that this little girl was so good at playing chess.
"Commander Huo, your little girl is quite good. She was able to withstand so many moves from Chief Ji."
"That's my daughter, how could it be any worse?"
Huo Tingkun was proud of it.
Ji Chongshan's chess skills are well-known throughout the Chuncheng Military Region.
The fact that ginger tea could last so long under his hands was enough to impress everyone.
“I lost!”
"You're already pretty good!"
Ji Chongshan looked at Jiang Cha with admiration.
"Do you have a partner? Look, how's my grandson doing?"
"Chief Ji, are you looking for a partner for your Zhixu?"
"I think this girl is good. She's pretty and has a good personality. If she really gets together with Zhixu, she can even play chess with Chief Ji in the future. How great is that!"
There was a lot of commotion here, and the sound of talking had already reached Huo Jingchuan and Ji Zhixu.
Ji Zhixu was almost torn into pieces by Huo Jingchuan's knife-like gaze.
I don't know who it was, but someone shouted at him recklessly.
"Zhixu, do you want a wife?"
Ji Zhixu wished he could disappear right then and there.
Jiang Cha was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm still young and don't want to find a partner so early."
Huo Tingkun also protected Jiang Cha behind him like a protective child.
"I think you guys are just jealous of me for having such a beautiful and sensible daughter. I haven't even had enough of her yet, and you're already urging her to get married?"
"I didn't say that. It was Chief Ji who started it. If you want to blame someone, blame him."
As Ji Chongshan collected the chess pieces, he said proudly, "Such a good girl, it would be perfect for her to be my granddaughter-in-law."
"I'm going to see my mom!"
Jiang Cha covered her face and walked into the house.
Huo Jingchuan picked up Ji Zhixu and walked out.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you taking me?"
Ji Zhixu was not as strong as Huo Jingchuan. Under Huo Jingchuan's control, he could not move forward voluntarily.
"It's a dark and windy night, and you dragged me to such a deserted place. Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
"Brother, can you please say something? I'm scared if you don't speak."
Huo Jingchuan looked particularly scary when he had a cold face.
"Oh, do you want a wife?"
Ji Zhixu shook his head like a rattle, "I didn't say that!"
Huo Jingchuan let him go and threatened him fiercely, "You have to deal with your grandfather yourself. If he tries to match you up with Jiang Cha again, I will tell everyone about the love letter you wrote to your head teacher and make you lose face for the rest of your life."
"Hiss~" Ji Zhixu's cheeks puffed up like balls, "You bastard, you're so cruel!"
On the way home, Ye Surong and Jiang Cha walked hand in hand in front, and Huo Tingkun followed behind Ye Surong.
Huo Jingchuan walked at the end, looking at Jiang Cha's back, his mood became more and more gloomy.
She really seemed to not look at him much anymore!
She didn't even glance at him the whole night.
Ji Zhixu said that she is a very insecure person and can only fall in love when she feels at ease.
If his expression of emotion towards her is difficult for her to accept.
So could he try to do the opposite?
What if Jiang Cha liked him first?
Huo Jingchuan doesn't mind becoming a prey.
A lone wolf wandering at night finally encounters a delicious prey, and some of them lie in wait patiently.
305 Everything remains the same.
There was no one in the room.
Jiang Cha followed Ye Surong into the room, and Ye Surong opened her jewelry box.
She counted the stack of bills inside and said, "Sure enough, three are missing."
