Jiang Yue quickly took out all the baskets used to hold French fries. The French fries were fried in oil, so Jiang Yue covered the baskets with greaseproof paper. Sure enough, there were some remaining French fries on the greaseproof paper, which filled up a small half portion when poured together.
This much is enough for Ningning to eat.
"Jiang Yue, I'm going back to the regiment headquarters."
Just when Jiang Yue was cleaning up, she suddenly heard Gu Ye's voice coming from the kitchen door.
"Oh, okay!" Jiang Yue quickly hid the small portion of fries, and then turned around and asked Gu Ye as if nothing had happened, "Gu Ye, are you coming back for lunch?"
"I'm busy in the group and won't be back for dinner!" Gu Ye stood at the door of the kitchen, squinting at Jiang Yue who was busy there.
In fact, Gu Ye had already seen Jiang Yue hiding something, but he didn't intend to expose it.
"Okay!" Jiang Yue responded, turned around and continued pretending to be busy doing housework. After hearing no sound for a long time, she thought Gu Ye had left, so she took out the backpack to organize it.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Gu Ye's voice sounded again.
Jiang Yue was startled and looked back. Gu Ye had walked behind her without her noticing and was squinting at her.
"Nothing!" Jiang Yue put the backpack behind the door, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, complaining in his heart why this person walked without making any sound.
Gu Ye glanced around and followed Jiang Yue out.
"The service center has food today. I'll ask the guards to buy some and send it back at noon. Do you want anything?"
Jiang Yue thought about it and shook her head, "No!"
She has bought a lot of things recently and can't remember what she wants for the moment.
"Okay then, I'm leaving!" Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue deeply again before turning around and walking out the door.
As soon as Gu Ye left, Jiang Yue immediately sat on the deck chair and rubbed her legs. Her legs were sore and swollen, but she had been enduring it all the way because she was afraid that Gu Ye would become suspicious. Now that Gu Ye had finally left, she had to rub her legs quickly, otherwise her muscles would be stiff and it would be very painful to walk tomorrow.
Besides, Chen Baozhu was scolded by Gu Ye again today. After picking the tiles with a sullen face, he went home and yelled at Li Hongying: "I told you not to go to Gu Tuan and say those things, but you refused to listen. Now I'm implicated by you! Are you satisfied?"
Li Hongying shouted back, "Chen Baozhu, do you still have any conscience? I am the bad guy, and you are the good guy, right? Why should I shamelessly look for Gu Ye? Isn't it for this family?"
Li Xiuxiu was in the kitchen and saw Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying arguing again. She was afraid that she would be affected and had no intention of going out. However, when she heard Gu Ye's name, she hurriedly carried Wu Niu to the door to eavesdrop.
Li Xiuxiu hasn't gone out for several days since her offer of fried beans was rejected last time. Every morning, she only dared to stand at the door of her house from a distance and glance at Gu Ye's back. She really wanted to be like before, when Gu Ye would send Ningning to her in the morning and pick her up in the evening. She could meet Gu Ye face to face and even say a word or two to him.
Li Xiuxiu will always remember the smell she smelled on Gu Ye when he approached her. It smelled so good, unlike her brother-in-law, who always smelled of sweat and was so repellent that it could kill people from a distance.
Seeing that Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying were about to fight again, Li Xiuxiu was so scared that she retreated back into the kitchen.
Last week, because Li Hongying went to cause trouble for Jiang Yue again, Chen Baozhu lost his temper at home and beat Li Hongying so hard that she couldn't get out of bed.
Originally, they said they would buy a train ticket to send Li Hongying back to her hometown the next day. Li Xiuxiu was scared to death, fearing that she would be sent back too. But Li Hongying didn't know how to coax Chen Baozhu, and Chen Baozhu didn't buy a train ticket the next day, and Li Hongying was not sent back to her hometown.
Li Xiuxiu could see that Chen Baozhu was just saying harsh words. After all, Li Hongying had given birth to four sons for him. If he sent both Li Hongying and her away, who would take care of Daniu and the others?
So let these two fight if they want to, as long as it allows her to stay here and have the chance to see Gu Ye.
Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying started fighting again. The neighbors were used to it and no one even came to stop them.
The two quarreled every three days and fought every five days, but after the quarrel and fight, they still had to go up to the roof together to replace the tiles. However, the neighbors saw Li Hongying's face was bruised and swollen when she came out, and they knew she had been beaten badly. Chen Baozhu was not much better, with bloody marks on his face, neck and arms.
Chen Baozhu went up to the roof to change the tiles, and Li Hongying was still nagging: "You said I was not good to Ningning, how could I be bad to Ningning? I was not that good to Si Ya, and I always gave the food to that little fool first. How could I be bad to her?"
Li Hongying became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Chen Baozhu, you coward, I told you to ask Gu Ye for a squad leader position so you could get more allowances. You said that Gu Ye wouldn't treat you badly because of your big brother, but you're still a small soldier! You only make about 30 yuan a month, and you have to give 10 yuan to your mother. If I don't think of a way, our family will starve to death with you..."
"Are you annoying?" Chen Baozhu was annoyed by the nagging. He stood up and wanted to find another place to avoid Li Hongying. As a result, he accidentally stepped on the gap between the tiles. Instead of pulling his foot out, he lost his balance and fell headfirst.
"Ah!" In the middle of the day, all the family members in the compound were startled by Li Hongying's heart-wrenching scream.
At that time, Gu Ye's bodyguard Peng Wei brought food to Jiang Yue and told Jiang Yue about Chen Baozhu falling from the roof.
"Is he okay?" Jiang Yue was very nervous when she heard the guard say that Chen Baozhu fell from the roof.
Although Jiang Yue didn't like Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying, she wasn't so vicious as to wish someone to die in their family.
"It's okay, it's okay! Chen Baozhu is lucky. When he fell down, his feet were hooked by the rope on the eaves. If it weren't for that rope, Chen Baozhu's neck would have been broken and his head would have been split open!" Peng Wei sighed.
