Chapter 13: Greedy
After studying abroad for a year, Jiang Yingying trained herself to become a great chef, dabbling in all kinds of cuisines, even snacks and desserts.
Thanks to her constant greed, she forced herself to become a hexagonal chef.
"I don't know if your brother and his friends have invited Captain He to our house for dinner tonight..."
Jiang Yingying's hands, which were picking vegetable leaves, paused for a moment, and quickly returned to normal.
“Sister-in-law, my brother and Yangyang will do the job, so don’t worry.”
Xu Zhishu laughed. "I'm really not sure about their work," she said. "But if we can't invite them, there's nothing we can do. After all, Captain He has been in the military region for so long, and apart from visiting Commander Qin's home, he hasn't visited anyone else."
When Jiang Yingying heard Xu Zhishu say that He Yan might not come, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Sister-in-law, whether Captain He comes or not, our family will have a big meal tonight. It's my treat." Jiang Yingying said.
Jiang Yingying had her own private money. The girl in her original body was very good at saving money. After Grandma Jiang passed away, all the family belongings, including the money, belonged to her.
Before setting off to look for Jiang Chao and his friends, Jiang Yingying deposited most of the family's money into a passbook, and then put the passbook in an iron can together with some other things, and sent it to the military district as a package.
She only had some cash on her, and it was a good thing her original body did so, otherwise, the money she and Grandma Jiang had saved over the years would have been snatched away by those two people when her original body was kidnapped.
After the package arrived, Jiang Yingying took out the passbook she had hidden, which contained a total of two hundred and fifteen yuan, thirty-seven cents.
Jiang Yingying planned to give the money to Jiang Chao and his family, and also use it as her living expenses at home.
But whether it was Jiang Chao or Xu Zhishu, both of them refused to accept Jiang Yingying's money. On the contrary, they both wanted to give Jiang Yingying pocket money.
At this time, hearing Jiang Yingying's witty remark about treating everyone, Xu Zhishu smiled.
"Okay, then I'll eat more tonight."
But when Jiang Yingying finished preparing the dishes and was waiting for Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang to come back, Xu Zhishu handed her a big unity.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Here, during this time you went out to buy groceries, and bought candy and pastries for Yangyang, none of these required money."
"I have money, sister-in-law. I live at home, and you give me food and shelter, and buy me new clothes. You also spend money everywhere."
"Your brother and I can support you. You are our sister. Take it." Xu Zhishu would not allow her to refuse. "You are still a child. This is your pocket money. Just buy candy for yourself. Don't buy it for that brat Yangyang."
"sister in law……"
There was a noise at the gate, and Xu Zhishu stuffed the money directly into Jiang Yingying's hand, and she stood up and walked forward.
"You're back. What did you buy? How was it? Did you see Captain He?"
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Yang first called Xu Zhishu and then walked towards Jiang Yingying.
"Aunt, Dad bought us some White Rabbit candy. Here, it's delicious!"
Looking at the White Rabbit milk candy handed over by Jiang Yang, feeling the touch of the big unity stuffed in her hands, seeing Jiang Yang's smiling face in front of her, and the voices of Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu not far away, Jiang Yingying's heart softened again and again.
Perhaps, it was because of them that she was able to accept herself as another Jiang Yingying so quickly.
"Auntie, it's really delicious!"
Jiang Yingying smiled and reached out to rub Jiang Yang's little head.
"Thank you Yangyang."
Jiang Yang did not disdain Jiang Yingying's pat on the head as much as he did his father Jiang Chao.
Although he is young, he has already learned how to be double-standard.
The one who was rubbing his head was his aunt, the little aunt who spoke softly and sweetly, who would make delicious food for him, tell him many interesting stories, and who would play with him and help him with his homework.
Therefore, when Jiang Yingying rubbed his head, Jiang Yang not only did not feel that it damaged his reputation as a man, but he felt very happy in his heart.
Jiang Yang took out all the candies in his trouser pocket and handed them to Jiang Yingying. These were obtained by him in a battle of wits and courage with Jiang Chao on the way back.
There were only four candies in total. When he came back, Jiang Yang had already planned to give Jiang Yingying two candies.
But after Jiang Yingying rubbed his head and said a few words to her, Jiang Yang happily took out all his candies and wanted to give them all to Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Chao was chatting with Xu Zhishu, and he caught a glimpse of Jiang Yang's worthless look. He pulled his lip and sneered.
Seeing this, Xu Zhishu raised his hand and hit him on the arm.
"I'm talking to you, why are you giving me that fake smile?"
He felt so wronged that Jiang Chao really wanted to raise his head and howl.
"No, wife..."
At lunch, Jiang Chao and his friends ate the clay pot rice that Jiang Yingying had mentioned and were amazed by it.
After Jiang Yingying came, Jiang Chao and his friends would often eat too much because the food was too delicious. This meal was no exception, they all ate too much.
Jiang Yang covered his round belly and burped.
"Auntie's cooking is so delicious. If Uncle He doesn't come to eat tonight, he will really suffer a great loss."
Jiang Chao nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you're right. It would be a real loss if He Tuan didn't come."
Xu Zhishu glared at the father and son in anger, "How dare you say that? I asked you to invite someone, but you didn't give an accurate answer, and you said that if you didn't refuse, it meant you agreed."
Jiang Yang betrayed Jiang Chao without hesitation, "My father said that. I'm just a kid."
Jiang Chao was so angry that his voice became louder, "Hey, now you are a child, not an adult?"
Jiang Yang turned his head away and didn't look at him. He spoke to Jiang Yingying in a soft voice.
"Aunt, clay pot rice is delicious. Can we have clay pot rice tonight?"
Jiang Yingying was amused by the "liveliness" of the father and son, "There are better dishes than clay pot rice tonight, such as braised prawns, chicken wrapped in belly, sweet and sour spareribs, and boiled cabbage..."
Every time Jiang Yingying named a dish, Jiang Yang swallowed his saliva.
In the end, he couldn't stand it and interrupted Jiang Yingying, his eyes sparkling.
"Aunt, aunt, how about we eat clay pot rice next time? I also want to eat belly-stuffed chicken and sweet and sour pork ribs..."
Jiang Yang picked out two dishes with meat, which were really tempting. Especially since Jiang Yingying not only told him the names of the dishes, but also explained how to cook each dish, which made Jiang Yang's mouth water.
"I want to eat, too."
"Now that Yingying said that, I'm looking forward to the evening."
Well, as soon as Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao opened their mouths, Jiang Yingying knew that what she had just said was very successful. Not only Jiang Yang was tempted by what she said, but even the two adults, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao, were no exception.
