This time, Hao Fugui and his group came to Qingshan County with great momentum but returned in defeat. From Hao Fugui to Han Chengren's family, all of them were beaten. However, the only one who was not injured and did not even have a scratch on his hand was Director Wu.
At this moment, he was sitting in the car, looking at the people in the car with bruised faces and noses, and fell into deep thought.
…
Jiang Yue returned home. She left in a hurry at noon and had only prepared half of the meal. Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly lit a fire.
Fortunately, the rice was cooked at noon, so we just need to heat it up now. However, the two dishes were half-fried and half-cooked. If we put them back into the pan now, they won’t taste very good.
Jiang Yue thought about it and simply added water to make a big pot stew, then put some soaked sweet potato vermicelli in it, added a few spoonfuls of beef sauce after boiling, and it tasted quite good.
"Mom, are the roasted sweet potatoes ready to eat?" Ningning was fiddling with the oven.
"Let me see!" Jiang Yue took the tongs and pulled out the baking tray. The sweet potatoes were put in when cooking at noon. Jiang Yue added enough charcoal at that time. Although the charcoal fire was out at this time, the temperature was still there. The sweet potatoes were still hot, and the honey juice flowed out of them. A layer of hard black shell formed on the skin.
It looks tempting.
"Here! Be careful, it's hot!" Jiang Yue broke one off and gave it to Ningning. The aroma of the sweet potato hit her in the face, it was so fragrant that she couldn't help but eat one as well.
"Mom, eat it. There are still a lot more!" Ningning handed another one to Jiang Yue.
"It's time for dinner soon. I don't want to eat anymore!" Although roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, they are too high in sugar and can easily make you fat. Jiang Yue doesn't want to gain weight, so she usually doesn't dare to eat too much. She just eats a small one to satisfy her craving.
"Why are there so many more?" Jiang Yue counted. There were more than a dozen roasted sweet potatoes in the baking tray and a few in the oven. She clearly remembered that she only put four in at noon.
"Ningning, can you finish all the sweet potatoes you roasted?" Jiang Yue knew at once that the extra ones were put there by Ningning.
"If you can't finish eating them, you can sell them. I've already made an agreement with Zhuangzhuang, Xiaoming, Xiaohua and the others that I'm going to roast sweet potatoes and sell them today!"
Jiang Yue: “…”
This little girl was probably inspired by hearing her and Sister Zhao discussing selling roasted sweet potatoes.
However, Jiang Yue was not going to scold Ningning, but said to her seriously: "Ningning, you are still young and not suitable for doing business. If you want to give it to Zhuangzhuang and the others to eat, that's fine!"
"No, no!" Ning Ning waved her hands repeatedly, "If I send them something, they will come every day! The sweet potatoes in my house are not blown by the wind, they are bought by my parents with their hard-earned money, how can I give them to them every day!"
The corner of Jiang Yue's mouth twitched, "......"
Although the little girl is young, she is very considerate of her family!
And this little guy keeps talking all the time, and I don’t know where he learned all that from.
"Okay then," Ningning didn't want to give the sweet potatoes to the children, and Jiang Yue didn't force her, nor did she give Ningning any lectures. In this respect, she still respected Ningning very much.
Let children handle their own social life.
But Jiang Yue and Ning Ning couldn’t finish so many roasted sweet potatoes, and Gu Ye couldn’t eat that much when he came back.
"How about this, we go pick up Dad from get off work and take these roasted sweet potatoes to the uncles in his office, okay?" Jiang Yue suggested.
"Okay, Mom!" Ningning had no objection to this suggestion. Every time the uncles in her father's office saw her, they would hug her, lift her up high, and give her candy. She liked those uncles very much.
Jiang Yue took out the lunch rolls and put the hot sweet potatoes in them. The roasted sweet potatoes are better when they are hot. They will not taste good when they are cold, so Jiang Yue took two thick towels and wrapped the roasted sweet potatoes.
"Let's go!" Jiang Yue carried the lunch bag, held Ningning's hand, and walked towards Gu Ye's regiment headquarters.
It was almost five o'clock at this time. The two met Battalion Commander Xu who was returning from training on the road. After saying hello, Jiang Yue gave Battalion Commander Xu two roasted sweet potatoes.
"It smells so good and it's still hot!" Captain Xu put the roasted sweet potato into his pocket, preparing to take it home for his children to eat.
"Captain Xu, give him a few more. Don't you have four children in your family?" Jiang Yue stuffed two more into Captain Xu's hands.
"Thank you very much!" Captain Xu left happily.
When Jiang Yue and Ning Ning arrived at Gu Ye's office, they found that Gu Ye was not in the office.
"Sister-in-law, Gu Tuan just went out to pick someone up. He should be back soon!"
"Ningning, come here, let uncle hold you!" As soon as Xue Ping'an saw Ningning, he came over and picked her up, tossed her up and caught her, and tossed her up again. Ningning giggled.
"What delicious food did sister-in-law bring for Gu Tuan?" Wang Ping'an saw Jiang Yue carrying a lunch bag and came in following the smell.
"Ningning baked these sweet potatoes and brought them for you to try!" Jiang Yue opened the lunch box and asked Xue Hongliang and Wang Pingan to take them and distribute them to the people in the regiment headquarters.
"What a nice smell!" Xue Hongliang broke open a roasted sweet potato and took a bite. "It's delicious! It tastes better than the ones I roast in the stove at home with firewood!"
Gu Ye was not around, so Jiang Yue distributed the roasted sweet potatoes and prepared to go home with Ning Ning.
As the two of them left the regiment office building, they saw Gu Ye coming towards them. Beside Gu Ye, there were three other people, two of whom were older, with gray hair, wearing old-fashioned blue cotton jackets, and had hunched bodies.
There was also a younger man of medium build, also wearing the large cotton-padded jacket and trousers commonly seen in rural areas.
"Gu Ye!" Jiang Yue waved at Gu Ye.
She saw that Gu Ye seemed to pause, but without thinking much, she took Ningning to meet him.
"Dad!" As soon as Ning Ning saw Gu Ye, she let go of Jiang Yue's hand and ran towards Gu Ye.
Gu Ye bent down, opened his arms and picked up Ningning.
Jiang Yue walked closer at this time and saw clearly the three people with Gu Ye.
The two elderly people should be a couple. They must have lived a hard life, their backs were hunched, their skin was dark and rough, and they always walked with their heads down, looking very timid.
The man was better, but also very restrained.
Jiang Yue originally wanted to greet them, but at this moment she saw the three of them tremble. The old couple and the man looked up almost at the same time and looked at Ningning in shock.
Ningning was chattering to Gu Ye about coming with her mother to deliver roasted sweet potatoes, when she suddenly noticed the three people around her were all staring at her. She was startled and quickly hugged Gu Ye's neck, burying her little face in Gu Ye's shoulder.
"Dad, I'm scared!"
"Ningning, don't be afraid!" Gu Ye patted Ningning on the back and met Jiang Yue's eyes.
Jiang Yue looked away and looked at the three people's eyes at the moment. She felt a little nervous. She walked to Gu Ye, took Ning Ning, patted Ning Ning and comforted her, "Ning Ning, don't be afraid, Dad and Mom are here!"
While speaking, Jiang Yue looked at the three people opposite again. The three of them seemed very excited, almost abnormally excited.
The two old men even had red eyes and kept wiping their eyes with the back of their hands.
"Gu Ye? Who are they?" Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye again. Usually when they were together, if they met someone she didn't know, Gu Ye would introduce them to her. But today, Gu Ye was very abnormal and didn't say a word.
