Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Late Night
Ye Jinhong paused while wiping his sweat with a towel, turned around abruptly, and asked, "Whose telegram did you say it was?"
His reaction was so great that it startled the guard, who said blankly, "Shuxian, Shu Niannian."
Ye Jinhong stretched out his hand and said in surprise, "Give it to me quickly."
He had only eaten an egg at noon. After a whole afternoon of training, he was already starving. He originally wanted to go to the cafeteria to have lunch early, but unexpectedly the guard said that Nian Nian had sent him a telegram?
This really made him overjoyed.
However, when he took the telegram and read the content, the corners of his mouth that had just been raised were flattened again. Nian Nian was in trouble!
At that moment, Ye Jinhong didn't even bother to eat. He took a combat shower, changed into casual clothes, and ran out of the gate of the Second Army.
When he arrived at the train station, the ticket seller told him that there were no trains leaving today and the fastest train would leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ye Jinhong was extremely anxious. How could he wait until six o'clock tomorrow?
He turned back to the Second Army and rushed into the division commander's office without looking back. Division commander Li Tingshun was drinking water from a large teacup when Ye Jinhong suddenly broke in. Li Tingshun poured the entire teacup of hot water into his shirt. Li Tingshun jumped on the ground, gritting his teeth. He slammed the table with a ferocious look on his face, causing it to shake like an earthquake. The scattered small objects on the table were shaken to the ground. "Ye Jinhong! You'd better give a good enough reason today, otherwise, I will fucking fire you. Do you believe it?!"
Ye Jinhong looked at Li Tingshun, who was grimacing due to the burns, and felt that Li Tingshun was too delicate. It was just a burn, so what was the big deal? !
"My wife is in trouble, I need to go check it out, can you lend me your car?"
Li Tingshun laughed angrily, "Wife?! Where did you get a wife?!"
His eyes widened, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit Ye Jinhong with a teacup. "I asked you to make up a reason, so you should at least make up a reasonable one, right? Everyone in the Second Army knows that you, Ye Jinhong, are a bachelor. Where the hell did you get a wife?"
Li Tingshun was swearing when he was excited. Ye Jinhong didn't have time to talk to Li Tingshun in detail. He just grabbed the key on the table and walked out.
Everyone is familiar with each other, and saying hello is equivalent to Li Tingshun's consent.
When Li Tingshun saw Ye Jinhong grabbing the keys and running away, he was so angry that he chased after Ye Jinhong and kept cursing. But as soon as he walked out the door, the howling cold wind outside made his clothes on his chest cold, as if he was holding a piece of ice. Li Tingshun hurried back, damn it! No matter whether this bastard has a wife or not, he has to go back and change his clothes.
He ran and cursed, this damn Ye Jinhong is a living bandit!
Ye Jinhong and his guards drove Li Tingshun's jeep, shaking and bumping all the way, and finally arrived in Shu County before dark. He did not stop the car and drove all the way to Shujia Village.
At this time, it was already dark and smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household. Li Guifen steamed a pot of hot and humid steamed buns, a small pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, corn and sweet potato porridge, and a cold dish of vermicelli with garlic sprouts.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are already a very sumptuous dinner in this era.
If Shu Guodong and Shu Wenqiang hadn’t come back from the county town today, Li Guifen wouldn’t have been willing to prepare such a sumptuous meal.
After Li Guifen prepared the meal, she asked the children to serve it. Shu Niannian and her two brothers came in one after another. Just as he was holding a basket of steamed buns and was about to go to the main room, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door.
Li Guifen's heart skipped a beat when she heard a knock on the door.
It's no wonder she reacted so strongly. It's just that there have been too many bad things happening to her during this period of time.
Li Guifen really didn't want to open the door. It was dinner time. What if Yang Guihua from next door came to make trouble again?
She didn't want to go, but the knocks on the door continued. Li Guifen said unhappily, wearing an apron, "Hey, here they come. Who is it at this hour?"
She had thought it through. If it was really Yang Guihua from next door, she would never open the door.
Fortunately, the guard responsible for knocking on the door was an honest boy. He was only responsible for knocking on the door. As long as the door was opened, he would never care about the tone of the person who opened the door.
The guard had been knocking on the door until his fingers were a little sore. Finally, someone inside the room responded. He immediately said excitedly, "Captain Ye of the Second Army of Haicheng is here to visit you!"
The guard spoke with great vigor and authority, and one could tell at once that he was a soldier from the military or police system.
When Li Guifen heard who Captain Ye was, she immediately went to open the door. Among the people her family knew, there was only one person with the surname Ye who was an official in the department. The moment the door opened, as expected, she saw Ye Jinhong in casual clothes, standing tall and majestic at the door.
Li Guifen quickly let Ye Jinhong in, "Why are you here at this time? Is there something urgent?"
Seeing that Li Guifen looked fine, Ye Jinhong knew that Shu Niannian's so-called troubles definitely did not come from her family.
At that moment, Ye Jinhong said, "I was on a business trip with my guards and passed by Shujia Village. Who knew that the car would stall when passing here? I thought that you were the only ones I knew in Shujia Village, so I came here to bother you!"
The guard's eyes widened!
Captain, why are you lying?
The vehicles of our Second Army are well-known for their high performance and durability. They are inspected every week. This vehicle has a great mission and usually carries the division commander on his trips. There will definitely be no abnormalities.
There won't be even a screw.
The guard was about to remind Ye Jinhong, but Ye Jinhong glanced at him with a sharp look, and the guard was so scared that he immediately swallowed his words.
Li Guifen naturally didn't know whether Ye Jinhong's words were true or not. She just thought that Ye Jinhong really encountered difficulties. Li Guifen had a very good impression of Ye Jinhong. While she led Ye Jinhong and the guards into the main room, she was thinking about what other dishes were there at home. While the pot was still hot, she quickly cooked a few more dishes. The distinguished guest had come, and she couldn't neglect him!
The meal had just been served and they were about to start eating when the door was knocked. Shu Guodong and a few others were sitting at the table waiting. Shu Guodong, like Li Guifen, thought it was an uninvited guest, but they didn't expect that when the door opened, it turned out to be Ye Jinhong.
Shu Guodong laughed out loud immediately. He hurried out of the main hall to greet him, and kept saying, "Dear guest, dear guest."
Shu Niannian opened her eyes wide and thought, why is he here at this time?
Later, after listening to Li Guifen's chatter, I learned that Ye Jinhong's car broke down when he was on a business trip and passing through Shujia Village. Shu Niannian was very happy, thinking that it seemed that God sent him to help her out.
Ye Jinhong sat down next to Shu Niannian. Shu Niannian was so frightened that her heart was beating fast, but just as her face turned red, Li Guifen called her away.
Shu Niannian walked to the center of the yard, suddenly stopped and looked back. Coincidentally, Ye Jinhong also turned around and looked into the yard. Ye Jinhong could only see a vague shadow of Shu Niannian turning around, while Shu Niannian saw the outline of Ye Jinhong's figure. The candlelight in the main room was not bright, and the dim candlelight could barely illuminate the main room. Shu Niannian saw the smile in Ye Jinhong's eyes through the faint light. The family in the candlelight was happy, and Ye Jinhong mixed in, not appearing abrupt at all.
Shu Niannian felt soft in her heart. Her family was very accepting of her lover. Nothing could make Shu Niannian happier than this.
"What should we do?" After much thought, Li Guifen decided to kill the newly bought husband and make braised chicken. "We can't kill the hen, because it still needs to lay eggs."
When Shu Niannian heard Li Guifen say that she wanted to kill a chicken, she immediately stopped him, "Why don't we not kill it? Our family has a good meal tonight, so just feed him enough. Why make such a sumptuous dish?!"
Li Guifen tapped Shu Niannian's forehead and said with a smile, "My girl, look at what you are talking about? If our family eats the pork stewed with vermicelli, it's called a feast, but if we use it to entertain Ye Jinhong, it's called shabby. When a distinguished guest comes, we have to treat him well no matter when he comes."
Shu Niannian muttered unconsciously, "Oh, it's spring now, you should buy some chicks and raise them. I think he will come here often in the future."
Li Guifen smiled and said, "Okay, next time he comes, I will kill a chicken to entertain him."
At this moment, Li Guifen just said this casually. After all, she didn't expect that her words would come true. Not only did Ye Jinhong come every now and then, but he also "kidnapped" her own daughter who was in her arms.
Li Guifen killed the chicken skillfully while Shu Niannian was in charge of lighting the fire. After a while, the chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready. Li Guifen served this hard dish on the table and said to Ye Jinhong with a smile, "We country folks pay attention to practicality when eating. There are only a few dishes in our menu. Don't be disgusted!"
"How can I dislike it?" Ye Jinhong's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey. After taking a bite, he kept praising, "Even in the Haicheng State-owned Hotel, the dishes made by the first-class chefs can't be as good as your chicken stewed with mushrooms."
The police officer stared at Ye Jinhong blankly, as if he was looking at a stranger. He had a chicken drumstick between his chopsticks, but he didn't dare to eat it. He always felt that his leader had become a different person since he entered the yard.
A person who is usually cool and quiet suddenly becomes enthusiastic and talkative.
Oh my god, is the captain possessed by some unclean thing?
Ye Jinhong noticed the guard's strangeness, so he patted his shoulder and gave him a kind look, "Eat well, don't choke."
Feeling the pressure from Ye Jinhong, the guard quickly ate his meal obediently.
Everyone was having a great time at the dinner table. Shu Niannian wanted to get up to pick up the chicken wings that were far away from her, but Ye Jinhong was one step ahead of her and put the chicken wings in her bowl. Shu Niannian whispered thank you and sat obediently beside Ye Jinhong, gnawing on the chicken wings that Ye Jinhong picked up for her while letting her fair cheeks slowly turn red.
The candlelight was dim and the farm food was steaming hot. Even Shu Wenqiang, who was sitting opposite Shu Niannian, noticed that Shu Niannian's face was slightly red and thought she was hot.
