"OK!"
Political Commissar Yu gritted his teeth, "I don't have any needles and thread at home, I'll go upstairs and borrow some for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yao Hua happily said, "No need, I brought my needle and thread."
Soon, Yao Hua took out a set of needles and thread from her bag. The needles and thread were in a small box, which was full of threads of various colors, all wrapped on different small sticks and neatly arranged in the small box.
Political Commissar Yu looked on curiously, "Why do you always carry a needle and thread with you?"
He knew that women usually carried face cream, handkerchiefs, and money in their bags...
Some girls even bring lipstick, and I've seen them bring pens too.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone carrying a needle and thread.
"I make clothes, and it's convenient to have needles and thread in my bag when I'm altering clothes. I've gotten used to it over time."
Yao Hua answered without looking up as she threaded the needle.
Her hands were chubby, but she worked very efficiently and seriously. Yu Xiangdong was so captivated by her that he became mesmerized.
Until Yao Hua finished sewing his clothes and handed them to him.
Yu Xiangdong snapped out of his daze, quickly took the clothes to check his own, and dared not look at Yao Hua again.
He's really getting worse with age; he's actually staring at that young girl and completely infatuated.
The clothes were sewn very carefully, with fine stitches. Commissar Yu didn't understand these things, but it was obvious that the clothes were sewn much better than those sewn by Lu Jingnian.
Just like Yao Hua said, you can't tell at all that it's been repaired.
"Political Commissar Yu, is the clothing I mended okay?" Yao Hua asked tentatively.
“Very good,” Political Commissar Yu quickly replied.
"Then... if your clothes get torn in the future, just ask me to mend them," Yao Hua said, adding that she shouldn't go to Battalion Commander Lu anymore, as he was her daughter Yueyue's.
Her Yueyue is very possessive of her food. In the past, when Yueyue liked Pei Hengzhi, she would get upset if she saw Pei Hengzhi smile at other men.
Now that Yueyue likes Battalion Commander Lu, she'd be furious if she knew he was mending clothes for another man.
"This...this isn't a good idea, isn't it too much trouble for you?"
Commissar Yu asked somewhat nervously, "This girl wants to mend his clothes, could it be that she has a crush on him?"
Political Commissar Yu subconsciously touched his face. Although he wasn't as good-looking as Lu Jingnian, he wasn't ugly either. He was considered one of the top handsome men in the camp.
The girl in front of me was a little chubby, but she had very pretty features and was quite cute. However, he seemed to be five or six years older than her. Would the girl think he was too old?
"It's no trouble at all."
Yao Hua wrote down a phone number and handed it to Political Commissar Yu. "This is Yueyue's phone number. You can call this number if you need me. I usually get my clothes made at Yueyue's house."
She also took on some mending and alteration jobs in the compound. Because her mother wouldn't let her keep the family phone number, Grandma Jiang made her keep the Jiang family's phone number so that anyone looking for her could call the Jiang family. When she wasn't home, Grandma Jiang would write it down and tell her.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you from now on."
Commissar Yu put the phone number away, thinking to himself that this girl was really straightforward, actually taking the initiative to give him her phone number.
Should he also make a gesture?
Otherwise, what if the girl gets hurt because she doesn't get a response?
"That me..."
Just as Political Commissar Yu was about to suggest giving Yao Hua something, there was a knock on his door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"I'll go open the door first."
Political Commissar Yu swallowed what he was about to say and went to open the door.
The door opened, and Jiang Yue stood in the doorway carrying a basket of apples.
"Political Commissar Yu, Yao Hua is at your house, right? Thank you for helping me pick her up. These are apples that Jing Nian and I bought on our way back. They were grown by an old man in town and didn't cost much. You can keep them for yourself."
Jiang Yue handed the apple to Political Commissar Yu. Yao Hua saw Jiang Yue, happily took the apple, and walked over.
"Yueyue, you're back. I brought everything you asked me to bring."
Seeing Yao Hua carrying large bags and a basket, Jiang Yue quickly helped Yao Hua with some of the bags and said happily to Yao Hua, "I've come to take you home. I bought a lot of groceries today, and I'll cook you something delicious later."
Jiang Yue truly treats Yao Hua like a younger sister.
"Political Commissar Yu, thank you. Please come to our house for dinner later."
As Jiang Yue left, she didn't forget to say something.
Because Yao Hua was here today, Jiang Yue bought a lot of groceries. At this time, the station has already closed. Yao Hua will stay here tonight, and when Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian go back to their parents' home tomorrow, Yao Hua will go back with them.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
"Commissar Yu said."
His house was right above Lu Jingnian's, so it was very convenient to go there. Before Jiang Yue married Lu Jingnian, Political Commissar Yu often went to Lu Jingnian's house for meals.
Who can blame them when Lu Jingnian's cooking is better than what the army canteen makes?
When Jiang Yue returned with Yao Hua, Lu Jingnian had already packed up the things he bought that day and went to the kitchen to wash vegetables.
He also poured two glasses of water and placed them on the table for Yao Hua and Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue took out the things Yao Hua had brought, put the clothes aside, and took the chicken to the kitchen.
"Yao Hua, you play by yourself for now, I'll go cook."
"Yueyue, can you cook?" Yao Hua looked at Jiang Yue with suspicion.
She had never seen Yueyue cook.
“I don’t know how, but my Battalion Commander Lu does. I’ll go and assist him.”
Jiang Yue took the chicken and quickly went into the kitchen, closing the kitchen door behind her.
Lu Jingnian overheard her conversation with Yao Hua, and he smiled slightly but remained silent.
