Chapter 349: Drinking Water, One Knows Whether It's Hot or Cold
The wind in late autumn has already turned chilly, and the aunts and uncles chatting in the yard are all wearing thick sweaters and coats.
As soon as Jian Qingyi and Qin Mengjie entered, they attracted everyone's attention.
Cashmere sweaters, woolen coats, and lambskin leather shoes are not something that ordinary people can afford.
Especially since there was an olive green-dressed orderly following behind the two of them.
It was not until the three people disappeared at the stairs that the gossips began to chirp quietly.
"It looks like they are relatives of the two families on the third floor..."
"Of course I did. I heard that the two families on the third floor have relatives who are high-ranking officials. Look, they're here now."
"The younger one looks like she's pregnant..."
"The same thing happened to the one on the third floor. She didn't know how to be careful when she got pregnant. She died just like that."
"I heard he's still a kid..."
When they heard that the one who died was a boy, all the aunts and uncles looked regretful.
These days, a family can only have one child, and there is no chance for a second one.
I finally got pregnant with a boy, but the baby was lost in a fall. It's really heartbreaking.
"Bang bang bang..." Xiao Zhang went forward and knocked on the door while carrying something.
“Here I come!”
After a while, a man's voice was heard in the room.
Then there were footsteps coming closer.
“Crack!”
The door opened.
Ji Lei, dressed in olive green, stood inside the door with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms. There were white bubbles on his hands, and it looked like he was washing clothes.
"Captain Qin!" Seeing that it was Qin Mengjie standing outside, he hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.
"We are all relatives, so just be casual outside." Qin Mengjie smiled.
Hearing this, Ji Lei remembered that the guest was still standing outside the door, and hurriedly moved to the side.
"Captain Qin, little sister, please come in and sit down."
Xiao Zhang put the things down and walked out.
"Brother-in-law, where is my second sister?" Jian Qingyi looked around the living room.
"Rest in the house..."
Before he could finish his words, Jian Liqiu came out of the house after hearing the noise.
Seeing Qin Mengjie, she hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.
"Captain..."
"We are all family relatives. We should be more casual outside and there are no so many rules. If you continue like this, I won't dare to come here again." Qin Mengjie waved her hand and motioned her to sit down quickly.
"It's cold, why don't you wear another coat when you go out?" Ji Lei muttered as he went into the house to get a coat for Jian Liqiu.
"I'm not cold." Jian Liqiu didn't want to wear it.
After resting for a few days, Jian Liqiu's complexion became noticeably rosier.
He seems to be in much better spirits.
"You have to put on the coat even if you're not cold. You can't stand the cold right now." Ji Lei forcefully put the coat on Jian Liqiu.
He turned around and went to the kitchen to mix three cups of malted milk.
"Li Qiu, you chat with Captain Qin and my younger sister for a while. I'm going to go wash the clothes." Ji Lei said a little uncomfortably.
He actually never knew how to call his sister-in-law.
Just call her Yi Yi like his wife, it’s too intimate, and the key point is that she is the wife of their political commissar.
After much deliberation, he chose a name that was less prone to error...
Little sister!
"Go ahead!" Jian Liqiu nodded with a smile.
"You're a little fatter than before, and your complexion is better." Jian Qingyi looked Jian Liqiu up and down.
It’s much better than when the Ji family lived here.
Before the Ji family moved in, Jian Liqiu ate in the cafeteria and could even have some meat. After the Ji family moved in, Jian Liqiu ate three meals a day at home, and Ji Lei's mother was used to being frugal.
As long as Ji Lei doesn't come home, she basically won't buy meat.
Occasionally she would buy a little, but it was always for her precious grandson.
Besides, with Jian Liqiu's personality, she would never do something like snatching meat from a child.
"Your brother-in-law feeds me like a pig every day, how can I not be fat!" Jian Liqiu smiled with her lips curved.
"That means my brother-in-law is a very qualified breeder." She was worried that she would not be able to get out of it before, but now seeing her like this, Jian Qingyi is relieved.
"If I get any fatter, I won't be able to dance anymore." Jian Liqiu reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her waist in annoyance.
In more than half a month, she gained several kilograms.
"How can I be fat? It's just right now." Jian Qingyi couldn't tell where she was fat.
Compared to those skinny beauties, Jian Qingyi still prefers those with fuller figures.
"Captain, I want to go back to the group in a few days." Jian Liqiu said tentatively.
She has already wasted too much time.
If she delays any longer, she will really fall behind her comrades.
"Let's rest for a while!" Qin Mengjie didn't dare to go into details.
Afraid of bringing up Jian Liqiu’s sad memories.
A short period of confinement is still a period of confinement, and you must rest for at least a month.
"Captain, I'm fine now." Jian Liqiu still wanted to fight for it.
"Second sister, my mom gave you a vacation, so just have a good rest. If someone gave me a vacation, I could rest for the rest of my life." Jian Qingyi smiled and changed the subject.
"If you want to rest, you have to go find your mentor. I can't interfere." Qin Mengjie cooperated.
"If I had known earlier, I would have joined the art troupe." Jian Qingyi sighed.
"It's a good thing you didn't come, otherwise I would have to find an excuse to drive you away." Qin Mengjie pursed her lips and smiled.
"Second sister, look, your team leader is bullying me." Jian Qingyi leaned on Jian Liqiu's shoulder and acted coquettishly towards her.
Jian Liqiu smiled and looked away.
She didn't dare to make a joke about the leader.
Jian Qingyi's joke successfully changed the subject.
"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the front door.
Jian Qingyi thought it was Wang Xiujuan who came back, so she got up and opened the door.
Who knew that the person standing outside the door was her man.
"Aren't you in a meeting?" Jian Qingyi let the person in.
"It just ended. I heard Meng Xiaoyang say that you and your mother came out, so I guessed you came here." Lu Yujing held his young wife's hand.
Ji Lei, who was drying clothes on the balcony, heard noise at the door and walked out quickly.
"Political Commissar." Stand at attention and salute.
"Political Commissar." Jian Liqiu also saluted.
"We are all family, there are not so many rules outside." Lu Yujing waved his hands helplessly.
He has said this eight hundred times.
But he can say this.
But they don't dare to really do that.
Seeing Ji Lei was going to make tea, Jian Qingyi hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, stop working. We should go back."
"It's already this late, let's eat first!" Ji Lei said hurriedly.
"Yes, let's have dinner here. Your brother-in-law bought a big bag of vegetables this morning and it's still in the kitchen!" Jian Liqiu also echoed.
"Let's do it next time. Grandpa and grandma are still waiting for us to go back in the family compound! If we don't go back soon, they will probably come looking for us." Jian Qingyi said hurriedly.
The old man was not sure, but the old lady was definitely capable of such a thing.
"Second sister, you have a good rest, we will go back first."
"Yes, Li Qiu, you should have a good rest." Qin Mengjie stopped talking and did not dare to say more.
Lu Yujing didn't talk much and only said a few polite words from beginning to end.
As Jian Qingyi expected, as soon as the group left the community, they ran into an old man and an old woman who were walking in a hurry.
