Family compound.
Yao Hua was very happy to hear the message from Jiang Yue relayed by the young soldier in the gatehouse.
"Thank you, I understand."
She can finally go back. She regrets not going back to see the down jackets that went on sale today.
After seeing off the young soldier who came to inform her, Yao Hua took the dumplings she had made that evening and went upstairs to find Political Commissar Yu.
Upstairs, Political Commissar Yu had just changed his clothes and was about to go downstairs to find Yao Hua.
There's an event at the camp headquarters tonight, including a movie screening. He wants to take Yao Hua there for a while.
As soon as Political Commissar Yu opened the door, he saw Yao Hua bringing up dumplings.
"Huahua, why did you bring the food up here? I can go downstairs by myself now, I'll just go down and eat."
"That's too hard on you."
As Political Commissar Yu spoke, he took the basket from Yao Hua's hands.
"I happened to have something to tell you, so I brought it up for you."
Yao Hua followed him inside and said happily, "The soldier in the gatehouse just told me that Yueyue called me and said that the matter has been resolved and I can go back tomorrow."
"ah?"
Political Commissar Yu, who had been grinning broadly, immediately stopped laughing upon hearing this.
"The matter was resolved so quickly?"
Hua Hua hasn't agreed to marry him yet. If she leaves, will he have another chance?
Political Commissar Yu looked at the two plates of dumplings in the basket and almost cried.
Yao Hua didn't understand what Political Commissar Yu meant. She was simple-minded and didn't think that much. When she heard Political Commissar Yu say this, she immediately replied, "It's not going to happen soon. It's been many days already."
I felt it was a bit slow, considering Yueyue was over there and constantly at risk of danger. Now that the matter is resolved and Yueyue is safe, I haven't been able to sleep these past few days because of worry. Now that I know Yueyue is safe, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
Although Jiang Yue is protected by Battalion Commander Lu, she should be fine.
But people are prone to oversights, and Yao Hua was still very worried about Jiang Yue.
That's not what I meant.
Political Commissar Yu knew that Jiang Yue held the most important place in Yao Hua's heart. Fearing that Yao Hua might misunderstand that he wasn't worried about Jiang Yue, he quickly explained, "I was just worried that things were resolved so quickly, but there might still be potential dangers."
"You're a girl, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself. I'm still a little worried about you going back like this."
After explaining all this, Political Commissar Yu suddenly felt a pang of jealousy towards Jiang Yue.
If he held such an important place in Yao Hua's heart, she would have agreed to marry him long ago.
"I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, I'll protect myself. When I get back, I'll only go out with Yueyue and attend classes. I definitely won't wander around."
Yao Hua knew she wasn't very smart and didn't have the ability to protect herself, so she was very obedient.
He took the dumplings out of the basket and placed them in front of Political Commissar Yu, saying, "Don't worry about me, hurry up and eat."
"You're going to work tomorrow too, so I don't need to take care of you anymore. It's actually quite nice for me to go back."
She can't stay here for too long either, because she has her own things to do.
Political Commissar Yu ate his dumplings, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
After they finished eating the dumplings, Political Commissar Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "How about you go back tomorrow afternoon?"
I'm free tomorrow afternoon; I'll borrow a car from the battalion headquarters to take you back.
"good."
Yao Hua smiled and nodded, not refusing Political Commissar Yu's kind offer.
Seeing that Yao Hua readily agreed to let him take her, Political Commissar Yu was slightly pleased. "There's an event at the battalion headquarters today. Shall I take you there to take a look?"
You don't have to participate; just think of it as taking a walk!
Yao Hua doesn't reject these things, but...
Her gaze fell on Political Commissar Yu's legs. "The battalion headquarters is quite far from here. Your leg injury has just healed. Is it alright to walk such a long distance?"
"I can go to work tomorrow, so why can't I?"
Political Commissar Yu was even happier to see that Yao Hua cared about him.
"Then I'll go back and change my clothes. Wait for me a moment."
After Yao Hua finished speaking, she got up to clear the plates, but Political Commissar Yu stopped her, saying, "I can do this. You go and change your clothes first, and I'll take the basket down for you when I go downstairs in a bit."
He's healed now, so this kind of work can be left to him.
Yao Hua looked at him and couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll go back first."
...
The Jiang family.
After dinner, Jiang Yue didn't rush upstairs but waited for Lu Jingnian in the living room.
As time ticked by, it was almost 10 p.m., and Lu Jingnian still hadn't returned. Jiang Yue sighed, turned off the TV, and went to the kitchen.
It's so late, I wonder if Lu Jingnian has eaten dinner yet.
She planned to make some late-night snacks so that Lu Jingnian could eat them when he came back.
Jiang Yue knew that Lu Jingnian liked sweets, so she specially made glutinous rice balls for him. Afraid that he would get tired of eating only glutinous rice balls, she also made scallion pancakes and some pickled vegetables.
As soon as she finished preparing the late-night snack and came out of the kitchen, she heard a noise at the gate of the courtyard.
Jiang Yue thought Lu Jingnian had returned, so she quickly ran outside, but when she got to the door, she found that Jiang Zheng and Duan Suyao were standing there.
Jiang Yue hadn't seen Duan Suyao for a long time, and she wanted to go out and say hello, but before she could even leave, she heard two people in the courtyard arguing.
"Jiang Zheng, I've already told you we're not a good match. Please don't send me anything anymore."
It was Duan Suyao's voice.
Then came Jiang Zheng's voice, "What do you mean by 'inappropriate'?"
I think we're a good match, Duan Suyao. I know what you're worried about, but didn't Dr. Liu say you're alright now? You won't hurt me anymore. What are you still afraid of?
harm?
Jiang Yue frowned upon hearing this and hid behind the door, not daring to go out.
Duan Suyao stood at the door, her eyes a little red.
"Jiang Zheng, I'm not afraid of anything, I just feel that we're not suitable to be together."
"It was my fault before. Please forgive me for being young and immature back then. I'm getting engaged soon, and I hope you won't make things difficult for me anymore."
Jiang Zheng is right, she's scared.
She was truly terrified. As long as she thought about how she had almost killed Jiang Zheng, she could never forgive herself.
"Don't try to fool me."
Jiang Zheng's voice was somewhat cold and hard, "I went to see the man you were supposed to meet on a blind date with, and he told me that you absolutely did not agree to be with him."
Duan Suyao, you care about me. If you're blaming yourself for hurting me last time, then you shouldn't have pushed me away.
"I've injured myself like this because of you, and I can no longer work. I'm about to be discharged from the military. Shouldn't you take responsibility for me?"
Jiang Yue, who was hiding behind the door, stared wide-eyed in shock upon hearing Jiang Zheng's words.
Jiang Zheng had been staying at home for a while, which made Jiang Yue wonder why his leave was so long. It turned out that he was about to be discharged from the army.
But why didn't he tell his family about something so important?
