Chapter 10: Thanks
Looking at the clean and comfortable room in front of her that was obviously decorated with great care, Jiang Yingying felt a little sore in the corners of her eyes.
"That's great, sister-in-law. I like it very much." Jiang Yingying said, "During this period, you have to take care of us, take care of school matters, and clean up the room for me to live in..."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Say thank you to me again, Yingying. We are a family. There is no need to thank each other all the time among family members."
"Besides, you helped me a lot..."
"After your brother and I got married, we asked you and your grandmother to come live in the military area, but you refused to come no matter what, and even refused to accept the money we sent home."
"If you don't want money or tickets, we will just send you food and daily necessities. But every time we send something back, you and grandma will definitely send us a package back..."
"After Yangyang was born, most of the clothes that little guy wore were made by you two..."
"Also, we didn't pick you up when you came this time, so you had to go through all this. When you were in the hospital, you were always running around to help us. Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang were almost all taken care of by you, so I didn't have to worry about their meals when I was in school..."
Xu Zhishu held Jiang Yingying's hand and stroked the calluses on her palm.
"Yingying, this is your other home. Your brother and sister-in-law are here. We are here, and you can rely on us. You don't have to work as hard as before in your hometown."
Xu Zhishu said: "You are still a child like Yangyang..."
Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm already eighteen..."
In this era, an eighteen-year-old, regardless of gender, is already a laborer. Besides, her mental age is already 25, and her predecessor was about to graduate with a master's degree.
"What's wrong with eighteen? You're still young. Your brother and I are already in our twenties. In our eyes, you're still a child."
"Sister-in-law, I've graduated from high school. I'm not a kid anymore."
"Oh my..." Unable to convince Jiang Yingying, Xu Zhishu decided to use the "pragmatic and coquettish" method. "How long are we going to keep arguing with each other in this polite way?
Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's prepare lunch first, and then go back to the hospital to find my brother and the others."
"Okay, what's for lunch?"
"I'll do it." Jiang Yingying said hurriedly. Every time she cooked in the past few days, Jiang Yang would sigh while eating.
When asked what happened, the little guy said he was so happy to be able to eat such delicious food, including potatoes that looked like potatoes and noodles that looked like noodles...
At first, Jiang Yingying didn't quite understand what Jiang Yang meant. Until... the day before yesterday, Xu Zhishu came home early from get off work and on a whim decided to cook for them.
Jiang Yingying then saw the scene mentioned in Jiang Yang's words, Xu Zhishu's cooking skills, that is, she can cook, and she cooked it.
No matter what it was, once it passed through her hands in the kitchen stove, it would become a paste with no discernible shape when it came out of the pot.
Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang are deeply influenced by Xu Zhishu's cooking skills. On weekdays, Jiang Chao is the one who cooks at home. When Jiang Chao is busy or he goes out on a mission, the Jiang family usually eats in the cafeteria.
However, Xu Zhishu could not resist his frequent impulses. And Jiang Chao was very supportive of her craftsmanship, so little Jiang Yang had no choice but to follow his father's lead.
In the past two years, Xu Zhishu has been very interested in cooking.
Their family hasn't had a normal meal for a long, long time, which is why Jiang Yang couldn't help but sigh while eating the food made by Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying likes to cook. She enjoys the process of creating delicious food and also likes to see people show happy expressions when eating the food she cooks.
At this moment, for everyone's stomach, she chose to be the chef.
Xu Zhishu wilted for a moment, but quickly recovered when he thought about eating the delicious food made by Jiang Yingying.
"Yingying, let me help you then."
"Sister-in-law, there is not much food left at home. We have to go out and buy some."
"Look at my brain. Let's go out and buy some." Xu Zhishu said, "Yingying, how about sweet and sour pork ribs or spicy and sour fish for lunch?"
"Okay, I'll make whatever you want to eat, sister-in-law."
"Hey, then I kind of want to eat some stir-fried shredded potatoes."
"good."
…
After Jiang Yingying was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Chao's injuries also recovered a little. At night, Jiang Yingying, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang slept at home, leaving Jiang Chao alone in the hospital overnight.
Previously, Xu Zhishu had asked colleagues at school to substitute for her classes. After Jiang Yingying was discharged from the hospital and Jiang Chao's health was not serious, she went straight back to school to attend classes, frantically making up for the lessons she owed to her colleagues.
Jiang Yang is a first-grade primary school student. Xu Zhishu goes to school as usual, and he has to follow his mother's footsteps and go back to school.
Jiang Yingying's injury was almost healed, and her voice gradually recovered.
She did housework at home every day, and went to the hospital to deliver meals at mealtime. Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang would also meet at the hospital at mealtime.
After a while of this, when his month in the hospital was about to be completed, Jiang Chao couldn't stand it anymore.
He clamored to be discharged from the hospital, and the doctor came to examine him and said that he could be discharged and rest at home.
Jiang Chao immediately started packing his things. Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying couldn't persuade him, and the doctor also spoke, so they followed Jiang Chao.
So, Jiang Chao was finally discharged from the hospital.
He stood in his own yard, stretched his waist and sighed. "It's still better to have your own home..."
Xu Zhishu glanced at him and said, "Your injuries haven't healed completely yet. Take it easy and don't move too much."
Jiang Chao smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Jiang Yingying and Jiang Yang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
To celebrate Jiang Chao's discharge from the hospital, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu decided to have a big meal in the evening.
For this, after taking Jiang Chao home, the two began to discuss the dishes for dinner, which made Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang very hungry.
"By the way," Xu Zhishu said, "Should we invite Captain He to our home for our first big meal after we are discharged from the hospital?"
"Captain He saved our Yingying. Now that you, Old Jiang, have been discharged from the hospital, and the man of the house is at home, we should prepare a good meal to thank Captain He."
Captain He... Jiang Yingying pursed her lips unconsciously. She looked at Xu Zhishu and the others. Will she meet him tonight?
After parting at the hospital, Jiang Yingying thought that since she and He Yan were in the same military region, they would have many opportunities to meet in the future, and she would have plenty of opportunities and time to repay him.
But the reality was that she had been here for almost a month, and except for the time in the hospital, she hadn't met him again.
Xu Zhishu looked at Jiang Chao and said, "Well, Lao Jiang, go down and invite Captain He..."
Jiang Chao nodded. "We should invite him," he said. "He Tuan has done a great favor to our family. We should invite him to dinner."
