Chapter 69 Fighting and Scrambling
"If I had known you were coming, I would have cooked two more dishes. The last time you came, you didn't even get a meal, and I've always felt really embarrassed."
As soon as Ye Surong saw Zhang Keda, she became extremely enthusiastic.
"Why did you bring so many things here again, kid?"
Zhang Keda put down the backpack and smiled like a good boy, without any arrogance of being the boss outside.
"You know, there are only my dad and I in our family. How can we finish eating so much?"
"Oh, I have a lot of newly made plasters here. Go back and bring them to your dad later!"
Zhang Keda's father is the director of a shipyard.
When he was young, he worked as a sailor and a captain. He spent three seasons out of the four seasons floating on the water. The water surface was very humid, and over the years, Zhang Xuan suffered from severe rheumatism.
Especially the knees, they can't withstand the changes in weather.
The Ye family’s plaster is very effective, and that’s why he got to know Ye Surong.
Huo Tingkun worked too hard when he was young, and now that he is old, he has some problems with his joints. After Ye Surong finished making the Sanbai ointment and the cleansing ointment, she started making plasters.
"Okay, Aunt Ye, I will definitely bring it to my dad!"
I just don’t know if his father will cry while holding the plaster at night.
"The state-owned restaurant had chicken nuggets with potatoes today. I thought it was delicious, so I bought one to bring back."
Jiang Cha took out a beige enamel soup bowl from her backpack. It had a lid, which was perfect for storing lard. She paid a deposit to get it from a state-owned restaurant.
The dishes in the state-owned restaurant were generous in portion. There was a bowl full of potatoes and chicken nuggets, and Ye Surong used a large bowl to fill it up, but it still couldn't be filled.
"Uncle Huo, this is a gift I bought specially for you."
Jiang Cha took out a very formal navy blue Zhongshan suit and said, "Please try it on to see if it fits you. The moment I saw this suit, I felt that it would suit you very well."
Huo Tingkun was extremely happy. "The clothes my daughter bought for me must fit me. I'll take them and try them on!"
"Second brother, this is a gift for you."
When Huo Jingye saw Zhang Keda, his heart felt so sour that it was bubbling.
He had never even seen the pastries and candied fruits in Suzhou.
This guy came out of nowhere and killed so many people in one move.
When he heard that Jiang Cha bought him a gift, his broken heart was healed at once.
It's a pair of leather shoes.
"Is this really for me?"
Huo Jingye wanted to wag his tail at Jiang Cha.
"I've never worn leather shoes in my life!"
He held the leather shoes, looking left and right, and was very fond of them.
"Try it on and see if it fits."
Huo Jingye said "eh" and just as he sat down and was about to take off his shoes, he was stunned again.
"No, let me wash my feet first, then try again."
Jiang Cha was like Shancai Boy, giving gifts to everyone she met. Huo Jingchuan leaned against the door frame, staring at the movements of her hands without blinking.
Finally it was his turn.
"Brother, these are the leather shoes I bought for you. Come and try them on to see if they fit your feet."
leather shoes?
Same as Huo Jingye?
When Jiang Cha called Huo Jingchuan over, she glanced at him, and then she naturally shifted her gaze back to the backpack.
She would get nervous if she looked at him for a second longer.
Huo Jingchuan wears military uniform all year round. When Jiang Cha saw the leather shoes, the first thought that came to her mind was that they were very suitable for Huo Jingchuan.
Huo Jingye's pair was actually bought by chance.
But the first pair that Jiang Cha took out was Huo Jingye's.
Huo Jingye washed his feet, and even found a pair of new socks to put on, before finally putting on his leather shoes.
"Just right, comfortable!"
Huo Jingye wears size 43 shoes, and Huo Jingchuan wears size 44.
Two pairs of identical leather shoes, stepping on the same ground, formed a sharp contrast.
Black leather shoes, straight green military pants, and a meticulous light green military shirt.
Looking at Huo Jingye again, he was wearing black leather shoes, navy blue overalls with wide legs, and a matching navy blue work suit. There was a lot of black motor oil on his chest and cuffs.
There is no harm without comparison.
"Hiss..." Huo Jingye took a breath and took several steps back.
He wanted to keep his distance from Huo Jingchuan.
"Please stay away from me until I buy new clothes to match these shoes!"
Huo Jingchuan was wearing new leather shoes, and Jiang Cha felt a secret joy in her heart.
Zhang Keda had been keeping an eye on Jiang Cha and saw with his own eyes that Jiang Cha secretly glanced at Huo Jingchuan again and again.
Be very careful, for fear of being discovered.
His eyes were bottomless, and he grabbed Jiang Cha's neck and asked, "Where's my gift?"
Ginger Tea: “!”
"They all have it, so I want it too."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're just talking, why are you getting involved?"
Huo Jingye pulled Zhang Keda's hand away from Jiang Cha's neck.
"There are differences between men and women, do you understand?"
Huo Jingchuan stared at Jiang Cha so hard that his scalp tingled.
Huo Jingye glared at Zhang Keda as if he was guarding against a thief.
Zhang Keda simply leaned on the back of the sofa and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Cha.
"I don't care, I want it too!"
"Stop it!"
Jiang Cha gritted his teeth and threatened in a low voice.
Zhang Keda didn't care about anything. He stood up from the sofa and shouted at Ye Surong, "Auntie Ye, look, it's only been a few days since we last met, and Cha Cha's heart has drifted to the Pacific Ocean?"
Ye Surong and Huo Tingkun were still preparing dinner in the kitchen.
When guests come to my house, I always have to add two more dishes.
Jiang Cha brought back some potato and chicken nuggets. Ye Surong had just picked two cucumbers from Sun Hongying's private plot and cut them into square cucumber slices, preparing to make some scrambled eggs with cucumbers.
As soon as the golden egg liquid was put into the pot, Zhang Keda rushed to the kitchen.
There was a sizzling sound, and the kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of eggs.
Ye Surong didn't quite hear what Zhang Keda was saying.
Huo Tingkun had just washed the green onions and was clumsily chopping them with a kitchen knife.
"Dada, what's wrong?"
"Aunt Ye, Cha Cha is partial. Everyone got a gift, but I didn't."
"I'll ask her to make you a bigger one tomorrow."
After hearing this, Zhang Keda proudly stuck his head outside again.
"Did you hear that? Aunt Ye asked you to give me a big gift tomorrow!"
Jiang Cha had never seen such a shameless person.
“I heard it!”
You are already an adult, and you are still complaining?
Childish or not?
Huo Jingchuan sat next to Jiang Cha without knowing when.
"You and him have such a good relationship?"
"Dada and I were classmates in elementary school."
Zhang Keda was very dissatisfied with Jiang Cha's explanation.
"What? We're desk mates. We've been desk mates for ten years!"
In the 1970s, primary school was five years, junior high school was three years, and high school was two years.
"From elementary school until we graduated from high school, we were together every day!"
Huo Jingchuan gritted his teeth and said, "You really deserve a beating!"
He couldn't feel warm even wearing new leather shoes.
The cold was about to soak him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Cha grabbed Zhang Keda and ran out.
"Could you please stop talking nonsense?"
"How could that be? What I said was clearly the truth."
"It's true, but..."
The tone of his voice gives people a very unclean feeling!
"But what?"
Zhang Keda gave Jiang Cha a smack on the head.
"Why have you been so cowardly since you were little?"
Jiang Cha covered his head in pain, unable to understand what Zhang Keda said for a moment.
"Why did you hit me? It hurts!"
Zhang Keda raised his long arm and placed it on the wall, locking Jiang Cha between him and the wall. He bent down and whispered to Jiang Cha, "If you like him, then go for it!"
Jiang Cha was extremely panicked. "How...how did you know?"
"I'm not blind!"
Jiang Cha always took advantage of Huo Jingchuan's inattention to secretly glance at him, and every glance was seen by Zhang Keda.
The love was so obvious that only the silly girl Jiang Cha thought she had hidden it well.
"Then will he..." find out?
Jiang Cha's face turned pale.
Zhang Keda didn't understand, "If you like him, shouldn't you let him know?"
"We are brother and sister!"
Jiang Cha lowered her voice. At such a close distance, Zhang Keda could only see her lip movements.
She was really afraid that Huo Jingchuan would find out.
"Then... do you want to know whether he likes you or not?"
Jiang Cha bit her lip and said, "I don't want to!"
To be more precise, she didn't dare.
Before Zhang Keda could finish his next words, Huo Jingchuan grabbed his shoulders tightly.
"What are you...doing?"
He was still wearing the new leather shoes that Jiang Cha bought for him, but his dark eyes contained a thousand-year-old ice that was enough to freeze a person into an ice cube.
Zhang Keda is neither Jiang Cheng nor Chu Tianze. He has been a bastard since he was a child. He has seen all kinds of people, cold-faced, fierce, cruel, and the worst side of human nature.
Huo Jingchuan was not enough to scare him.
However, when he thought about how Jiang Cha had never been interested in him since childhood, and how she had given her heart to someone else after just a few days away from his sight, he realized that Jiang Cha had never been interested in him since childhood.
Zhang Keda was very unhappy.
He is not the kind of person who would let himself be wronged. Since he is unhappy, Huo Jingchuan can't be happy either.
"Of course we're talking in private, brother!"
If it wasn't in front of Jiang Cha, he would have wanted to punch Zhang Keda in the face.
Who the hell is his big brother?
Huo Jingchuan took a deep breath and pulled Jiang Cha away from Zhang Keda.
"There are differences between men and women. Even if you've known each other for a long time, you still need to maintain a normal distance when talking and doing things. What if someone sees you? Do you want to ruin Cha Cha's reputation?"
Zhang Keda is not a good-tempered person.
Every time Huo Jingchuan said a word, Jiang Cha's heart began to tremble with fear.
He held down Zhang Keda, who was about to explode, and pulled Huo Jingchuan, who was extremely cold, and said, "I heard my mom yelling that dinner is ready. Let's go in and eat, let's go eat!"
After finally getting the two big Buddhas to sit down at the dining table, Jiang Cha broke out in a sweat.
Huo Jingye was the easiest to coax. He happily put his leather shoes back to his room, fearing that they would get stained with dust.
He had already made up his mind that when he got his salary next month, he would buy a white Dacron shirt and a pair of military pants that looked better than the ones Huo Jingchuan was wearing. He would also wear his leather shoes to show the temperament of a successful man.
