Chapter 164: Copper Pot Hot Pot
The military district stipulates that cars are not allowed to enter the family compound.
Ye Rou and the three elderly people got out of the car and followed Duan Peng, who came to pick them up, into the family compound.
Although Ye Rou was curious, she didn't dare to look around. If she was caught as an enemy agent or spy, she would be doomed.
"It's just ahead." Duan Peng led them deeper into the compound.
When turning the corner, Ye Rou happened to see Jiang Chen walking out of the Jiang family.
"Jiang Chen!" She ran over happily, her black high-heeled leather shoes making a clattering sound on the red brick road.
She threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms and rubbed against him as if relying on him.
Filled with a subtle fragrance that was refreshing, Jiang Chen suppressed the rage that had surged up in the Jiang family. He put the half-filled cigarette back and hugged the little man in his arms.
He asked gently, "Why are you here?"
Ye Rou raised her head and smiled, "Grandpa Li said he would treat us to a meal."
She took Jiang Chen's hand and said, "We just happened to meet. Let's go together."
Jiang Chen's coldness and hostility were all gone. He looked at Ye Rou with deep eyes and asked in a low voice with a smile: "What did you do today?"
"I attended Grandpa Zhou's music class and competed with a girl in flute playing. She lost to me." When she said this, Ye Rou raised her head, blinking her fox eyes, with an expression that looked like she was asking for praise.
Jiang Chen smiled. Just as he was about to praise his wife, a harsh voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Jiang Chen, who is this girl?"
Suddenly, an extremely beautiful and charming girl rushed out, threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms intimately, held Jiang Chen's hand and acted coquettishly. The series of actions stunned Zhao Yuyan.
Her son hasn't smiled since they met today. When he saw the girl, the corners of his mouth were raised and never fell. As a mother, Zhao Yuyan felt heartbroken.
Liang Anning and Jiang Zhao also caught up and waited for Jiang Zhao's answer.
Liang An Ning was especially angry. Jiang Chen had just sworn to them that he was married and would not get divorced, but now he was hugging and kissing a woman who was so beautiful that she felt it was dazzling.
She needs Jiang Chen to explain!
Ye Rou looked at the three people who suddenly appeared.
The older woman is well maintained, her facial features look familiar, and you can tell she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
The young man and woman standing behind had strange expressions.
The young man looked gentle and handsome, but his mouth was smiling but his eyes were not, which made him look a little sinister.
The young woman had fair skin and delicate features. She looked quite familiar. Her eyes were vicious, as if Ye Rou had stolen something from her.
Ye Rou held Jiang Chen's hand, tilted her head and asked blankly: "Jiang Chen, who are they?"
Her eyelashes are long and thick, with naturally upturned ends. Her fox eyes are charming but not seductive. Instead, they are clear and black, which reminds people of a precious kitten. Because of her curiosity, the look in her eyes is unobstructed, which is particularly frank and attractive.
Jiang Zhao was stunned.
Jiang Chen keenly noticed Jiang Zhao's gaze.
He has a strong sense of territory. Ye Rou belongs to him, and any glance from others is considered a provocation, not to mention Jiang Zhao's unconcealed gaze.
Jiang Chen blocked Ye Rou, his lips hardened, "Someone who doesn't matter."
He pulled Ye Rou towards Zheng Zhiyuan and the others.
Zhao Yuyan saw Duan Peng, Commander Li’s bodyguard.
When she saw that Jiang Chen and the strange girl were indeed walking towards Commander Li's house, an idea suddenly popped into her head.
Could that girl be Jiang Chen’s marriage partner?
Maybe she is Commander Li’s granddaughter.
But that's not right. Ding Shulan, the famous gossip in the yard, had found out everything on the day Commander Li's family moved in. Commander Li's son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving behind only a little grandson?
Zhao Yuyan couldn't figure it out, so she had to suppress her curiosity and wait to ask Jiang Chen in detail later.
As for Jiang Chen's words of not recognizing them, she just thought they were just angry words and didn't take them seriously at all.
She turned around and saw Liang An Ning's face was not good, so she quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "An Ning, don't be angry, that guy is just talking, don't worry, I will definitely let him marry you."
Even if that girl knew Commander Li, she couldn't compare to Liang An Ning.
Liang Anning looked angrily at Jiang Chen and the girl's departing backs.
These are her things and her, no one can take them away!

When Li Weijun saw his good friends, Ye Rou and Jiang Chen, a smile appeared on his gloomy face.
"Come in, the meal is ready."
Ye Rou walked in with Jiang Chen. The room was simply decorated with only some simple furniture. Some sharp corners of the table and stools were wrapped with sponge.
As I walked into the living room, I was greeted by a grandmother with a serious expression and gray hair. She looked about the same age as Grandma Song. She was dressed neatly and had an upright posture, looking like a soldier.
Seeing them, she nodded faintly.
Li Weijun also had the same serious expression, and the two of them looked surprisingly well matched standing together.
Among these people, Ying Qin only knew Zheng Zhiyuan, and the others looked very unfamiliar.
She originally wanted to show up and go upstairs to see her grandson, but her eyes fell on the only girl and paused. Thinking of what Lao Li said about the girl studying medicine, she nodded to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou looked at Grandma Ying. On the way here, Duan Peng told them about the situation at Grandpa Li's family. Grandma Ying was a medic on the battlefield, always rushing to the front line of artillery fire to rescue wounded soldiers.
Ye Rou had admired Ying Qin from the moment she heard her story. When she saw her in person, her eyes sparkled. She walked forward and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Grandma Ying. My name is Ye Rou."
Her smile was so sweet that Ying Qin rarely smiled.
Li Weijun had been paying attention to this side. When he saw Ying Qin smile, a big stone fell from his heart.
It was a good decision to invite Miss Ye today.
He and Ying Qin had been separated for too many years. He was in a cowshed in the southern mountains, while Ying Qin was on a farm in the north with her son. Although Jiang Xiaozi sent letters to keep them in touch, they were still separated by thousands of miles.
The son and daughter-in-law died one after another in the north due to colds, leaving only Ying Qin and her little grandson.
She had a very difficult life these years and was only able to survive thanks to the things Jiang Chen sent her.
This time he rehabilitated her, and Yingqin and her grandson were able to return to Beijing. When they met again, Li Weijun found that Yingqin had changed. She was more silent and less willing to smile.
The little grandson also suffered from the same disease. Thinking of this, Li Weijun felt sad and painful.
Ying Qin and Li Weijun neither know how to cook, so they prepared copper pot hot pot meat, which does not require much technical skills.
When Ye Rou saw the hot pot meat, her eyes lit up. She had been craving it for a long time.
When Ying Qin saw the little girl's expression, she knew that she liked it.
The older she gets, the more things she experiences and the more people she meets. Ying Qin actually prefers young people like Ye Rou, who are simple and pure.
"Eat more if you like it." Ying Qin patted the little girl's delicate and slender hands and said with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Rou nodded with a smile.
She took the rubber band handed to her by Jiang Chen, tied her long hair into a low ponytail, and ate very seriously.
The copper pot hot pot only contains simple green onions, ginger, and red dates. Thinly sliced mutton is dipped in it and covered with rich and mellow sesame paste. When you put it in your mouth, the tender mutton mixed with the taste of sesame paste is extremely fragrant.
Everyone at the table was concentrating on eating when they heard a shrill cry of a child from upstairs.
