Chapter 18 Honey Cake
"Sister-in-law, Yangyang..." Jiang Yingying shouted.
"What's wrong, Yingying?"
"Aunt, aunt..."
"I'll pack a few honey cakes for Captain He, and I'll make the rest for you tomorrow, okay?"
"Oh, our Yingying is really smart. I forgot that we had this little cake at home..."
"Okay, auntie, what delicious food are you going to make for us tomorrow?"
As she spoke, Jiang Yingying had already neatly packed several small cakes, and she covered the small basket with a piece of cloth.
"Yangyang, I'll come back and talk to you." Jiang Yingying slung the small basket over her shoulder, "Sister-in-law, brother, I'm going out for a while."
"Oh, okay." Xu Zhishu responded, looked at Jiang Yingying trotting out, and turned his gaze to Jiang Chao beside him. "No, you go and deliver..."
"So, I'll chase him out now?"
Xu Zhishu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it." She said, "Next time, you should take the initiative to do something that will require a lot of effort."
"Yes, wife."
As a result, he didn't react in time and his sister disappeared.
When Jiang Yingying saw He Yan, he was already some distance away from the gate of the staff quarters.
"Captain He, Captain He, wait a minute..."
Seeing that his figure was about to disappear from her sight and there was no one on the road around, Jiang Yingying finally called out to him.
Hearing Jiang Yingying's voice, He Yan stopped and turned to look at Jiang Yingying who was running in front of him.
Maybe it was because she chased too quickly or maybe it was because the weather was too hot, her little face was red.
"Captain He..." Jiang Yingying calmed her rapid breathing before calling him. "Captain He, I made this pastry. I hope you like it."
Jiang Yingying handed the small basket to He Yan with both hands. Seeing that he remained silent after hearing it, Jiang Yingying's cheeks and ears turned red.
"This, I made this this afternoon. Captain He, you saved me. You came to eat today and brought a gift. I thought, the only thing I can give you is the food I made."
Although she spoke haltingly, she extended the hand holding the small basket in the direction of He Yan again, and her attitude was firm and unyielding.
"Captain He, please don't be disgusted. Next time, tell me what kind of snacks or desserts you like, and I'll make them for you."
Perhaps because he was too close, He Yan seemed to smell a sweet scent.
"I……"
"Captain He, please accept it."
After returning to the single dormitory, He Yan sat down and looked at the small basket on the table. For the first time in his life, he felt that his willpower was not strong enough.
He didn't want to accept it, but under Jiang Yingying's smiling face, he took it for some reason.
At this moment, He Yan could still recall the look of Jiang Yingying with curved eyebrows and eyes under the moonlight.
Captain He was in his single dormitory, frowning and feeling a little regretful.
He reached out, picked up a piece of cake from the basket, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
By the time He Yan reacted, there were only two small cakes left in the small basket.
He pursed his lips, covered himself with the cloth, and got up to wash.
After coming back, He Yan turned off the lights and went to bed.
But after a moment, he got out of bed and locked the small basket on the table in the cabinet.
After lying on the bed, He Yan sighed.
The food tonight was delicious and the cakes were even better.
That smiling face flashed through his mind, He Yan closed his eyes and turned over. There are two small pieces of cake left, which can last for a few days.
Comrade Jiang is a great cook. Will he have the chance to eat the meals and pastries she cooks next time?
He Yan turned over again. The night was long and Captain He was destined to be sleepless tonight.
On the other hand, Jiang Yingying, who successfully delivered the pastries, didn't know that the honey cakes she delivered were so delicious that they affected He Yan's sleep.
Unlike He Yan who couldn't sleep, Jiang Yingying made a meal tonight to thank her savior because she sent him some snacks.
She was in a good mood the whole day today, and even in her sleep she had a sweet smile on her face.
Early the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone down, Jiang Yingying got up full of energy and prepared breakfast.
When Jiang Chao came back from morning exercise outside, he was shocked to see Jiang Yingying busy in the kitchen.
"Yingying, why are you up so early?"
In his hands, he was holding the fried dough sticks and buns that he had packed from the canteen of the staff housing compound, and his upper body was soaked with sweat.
"Brother, why are you sweating all over?" Jiang Yingying looked at him disapprovingly, "Your injuries haven't healed yet..."
"Good Yingying, don't tell your sister-in-law..." Jiang Chao made a gesture of begging for mercy, "I know my limits. I just went out for a walk. The weather is too hot and your brother sweats easily..."
Jiang Yingying was barely persuaded by him, "Then go and pack up, and come over for breakfast later."
When Jiang Chao had tidied himself up, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang also got up.
Xu Zhishu was in a hurry and was about to leave while grabbing Jiang Yang.
"Sister-in-law, I made breakfast, eat before you leave."
"Yingying, I don't want to eat anymore. I have to go to school early today to help with the test papers. I'll just go to the cafeteria and buy something to eat."
"Yangyang, hurry up, I'm almost too late."
"Sister-in-law, I'll take Yangyang over later."
Jiang Chao also said: "Wife, if you are in a hurry, go first, Yangyang will be my escort."
"Okay." Xu Zhishu nodded and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, get some fried dough sticks and buns." Jiang Chao said.
Jiang Yingying quickly found the aluminum lunch box at home and filled it with breakfast for Xu Zhishu.
"Sister-in-law, take it. You can't skip breakfast."
"Yingying, you are so nice. I am almost too late. I will leave first."
Xu Zhishu walked away in a hurry, and Jiang Yang's shoulders drooped.
Jiang Yingying couldn't help laughing when she saw his little look.
"Yangyang, what's wrong? Auntie will take you to school later, you should have breakfast first."
"Mom has started handing out the test papers, which means the final exam is coming." Jiang Yang looked heartbroken, "Aunt, I can't eat."
Jiang Chao looked at him and said, "Okay, if you can't eat it, I'll eat it."
In the end, Jiang Yang, who said he couldn't eat anymore, ate two steamed buns his father brought back from the cafeteria, and a bowl of noodles with scallion oil cooked by Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying sent Jiang Yang to school and went to the family affairs office.
Compared with before, she received good news today.
There is a vacant position for a kitchen helper in a canteen in the military district! ! !
Officer Yang from the family affairs office asked her if she was willing to work in a canteen in the military district. It was at this time that Jiang Yingying found out that Officer Yang was actually the daughter of Aunt Meihua who worked in the hospital canteen.
Aunt Meihua’s husband is the political commissar of the third regiment, and Secretary Yang is married to Battalion Commander Zhang of the first battalion of the third regiment.
The reason why Secretary Yang told Jiang Yingying this news was not only because she had a good impression of Jiang Yingying, but also because her husband had been saved by Jiang Chao, and her mother, Aunt Meihua, had praised Jiang Yingying's good cooking skills.
Therefore, she would give this opportunity to Jiang Yingying.
