Chapter 62 (Part 2)
He Yan said: "Brother, you came at the right time. Now that we are sure about the situation of the Hu family, please help bring people to invite them."
Jiang Chao responded, "Okay, I'll do it right away." Fearing delay, Jiang Chao just hurriedly thanked He Yan. "Thank you for what you did tonight. I'll thank you again when I have time."
They were busy all night long, and although the military area seemed peaceful, there were still a few rats hiding in the dark, who were caught by them.
Jiang Yingying slept deeply this time and woke up a little later than usual.
She looked at the sleeping Xu Zhishu and got out of bed quietly. After she washed up, she went to the backyard to look at the fresh vegetables planted there, thinking about what to eat in the morning.
Hearing a faint sound coming from the yard in front, Jiang Yingying walked out quickly. It was Jiang Chao who came back from outside the door.
Jiang Chao saw her and shook the food box in his hand.
"Yingying, I went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, want to eat something? Your sister-in-law and Yangyang haven't woken up yet?"
"Not yet." Jiang Yingying looked at the dark circles under Jiang Chao's eyes and his clothes. "Brother, were you not at home last night?"
Jiang Chao paused and looked at Jiang Yingying.
"I have something to do. I bought breakfast. Don't cook for yourself today. I have something else to do and I have to go out."
Looking at Jiang Yingying, Jiang Chao reached out and rubbed her hair, just like Jiang Yingying rubbed Jiang Yang's head.
"Brother, I just combed my hair this morning."
Jiang Yingying hurriedly reached out to save her hair. Jiang Chao curled the corners of his lips, but looked at her very seriously.
"Yingying, don't be afraid no matter what happens, I'll always be here."
He raised his hand and patted Jiang Yingying's head again. This time, she did not dodge.
"Okay, I'll go out first." After saying that, Jiang Chao's ears turned red as if he was a little embarrassed. He turned around and hurried out the door.
"Oh, right," he seemed to remember something before leaving, and quickly walked to Jiang Yingying and whispered, "Yingying, we have caught the person who made the mistake, but this matter involves a lot of people, so don't tell anyone outside. Just pretend you don't know anything you hear."
"Brother, I know."
"good."
This time, Jiang Chao really left. Jiang Yingying opened the food box on the table, which contained red bean paste cakes and corn porridge.
After a while, there was movement in the room. Xu Zhishu went out of the room and saw Jiang Yingying in the yard.
"Yingying, you got up so early?"
"Sister-in-law, my brother brought back some bean paste cakes and corn porridge from the cafeteria."
"He's back?"
"Brother just brought back breakfast and left again."
Xu Zhishu nodded and knocked on Jiang Yang's door. "Xiaoyang, get up. Your dad has bought breakfast. If you don't get up now, it will get cold."
Jiang Yingying laughed, "Sister-in-law, I came back late last night, and it's okay if Yangyang can't get up. I can make him something else, or reheat the porridge and pancakes."
Xu Zhishu knocked a few times, and when there was no response from inside, she stopped.
Hearing Jiang Yingying's words, she waved her hand.
"No, I called him to get up and eat, but he didn't eat. If he eats cold food later, you can't blame us."
This was the first time Jiang Yingying witnessed Jiang Yang sleeping in bed at home, and also the first time she witnessed Xu Zhishu doing this.
She was a little surprised, but felt that this was something her sister-in-law would do.
Looking at Jiang Yang's closed door, Jiang Yingying thought: She should leave some for him to keep warm in the pot first.
The family compound is harmonious and no different from the past.
When Jiang Yingying went to work in the cafeteria, she didn't notice that Aunt Lanhua and the others were talking about any new gossip about what happened yesterday.
Aunt Lanhua and the others were talking about yesterday's social gathering, who liked whom, who didn't like whom, and who made eye contact with whom.
A loud cry of anger was heard from an office in the military district.
"Bang!"
"These bastards!"
"He actually sneaked into the army!"
"There are actually idiots among my subordinates!"
Commander Qin was very angry. He looked at He Yan and the others and said, "Investigate! Investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Screen the military district family compound inside and out for me several times!"
"I want to see who are the idiots who, after a few days of good life, have forgotten the suffering and blood our soldiers have endured!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Master, rest assured!"
…
At lunch time, Jiang Yingying didn't see He Yan come to the cafeteria to eat. She frowned slightly and thought of Jiang Chao's hurried look when he went out in the morning.
Then, I thought about what He Yan said yesterday about the differences of Zhou Haiyi.
Jiang Yingying didn't dare to think about it any further. She thought too much and knew too much. She was afraid that she couldn't control her emotions and would cause trouble for them.
She couldn't help with this matter, but she couldn't cause any more trouble either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingying hid all her thoughts in her heart, pretended to be unaware and continued to work.
He Yan didn't come during the afternoon break either.
In the kitchen, Aunt Lanhua and the others joked a few times.
Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "He is injured. I feel sorry for him. I told him not to hang around outside and to stay in the dormitory to recover."
"Hey, what Xiao Jiang said makes sense."
"That's right. I see Captain He hanging around in the cafeteria every day. I almost forgot that he was on sick leave."
"I almost forgot how scary Captain He was before. He had a cold face and didn't talk much."
"Yeah, after dating Xiao Jiang, he has completely changed. He smiles more often and even greets me when he sees me on the street!"
"Really? I did the same thing last time..."
…
Seeing that the topic had successfully changed course while they were chatting, Jiang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, knitting with her hands, and occasionally showing a few shy smiles to cooperate.
The day's work ended quickly. When Jiang Yingying walked out of the cafeteria, she saw He Yan waiting in the cooperative.
"Why are you here!?"
Jiang Yingying ran towards him in surprise and joy, and he also walked towards her quickly.
"I'm here to take you back."
Jiang Yingying's lips curved up, and he naturally took her bag and held her hand.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Just arrived not long ago."
"What do you want to eat tonight..." Jiang Yingying asked excitedly, but she paused when she saw his obviously guilty look.
"What's wrong?"
"Yingying, I won't have dinner with you guys tonight, and my brother won't go back to eat either."
He Yan said: "I only have ten minutes, enough to take you home."
But in fact, he had just been waiting for Jiang Yingying in the cooperative for almost six minutes.
"busy?"
Seeing him nodded, Jiang Yingying was a little unhappy inside, but she didn't show it.
She had been mentally prepared. If he really took her to and from get off work on time like he did in the past few days, she would not be used to it.
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips, "But your injury..." Her brows were slightly frowned. He Yan stopped and reached out to smooth the wrinkles between her brows.
"Don't worry, I've been in the hospital for so long, I'm almost fully recovered now, and I've only taken a few days off."
He Yan coaxed softly: "Don't frown, I feel bad."
As he said this, he was planning to grab Jiang Yingying's hand and press it against his heart.
"If you don't believe me, just listen."
Jiang Yingying quickly pulled her hand back and glared at him, her cheeks flushed.
"On the road! Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
When she saw the smile on his face and recalled how she had easily pulled her hand out of his just now, Jiang Yingying knew that he was teasing her.
Jiang Yingying couldn't help but glare at him again, and walked quickly ahead.
He Yan raised his foot to catch up with her, "Yingying, wait for me!"
When they were almost at the gate of Jiang's courtyard, He Yan reached out and grabbed Jiang Yingying's hand, saying, "Are you still angry with me?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have teased you." He Yan said, "Can you forgive me?"
"I think we'll be busy for a while, and my eldest brother might be out, so it's unlikely that we'll be able to have dinner at home."
He Yan said: "You guys just eat well at home, you don't have to wait for us, and don't worry."
"I'll find a chance to pick you up after get off work..."
"No need!" Jiang Yingying interrupted him. He Yan was stunned. As soon as she saw his expression, Jiang Yingying knew that he must be imagining whether she was angry.
"The road from the military district cafeteria to the family compound is very safe. Don't worry, I will be fine and I can go to and from get off work by myself."
"Also, it's you two who should eat properly and on time."
"If you lose weight by then, I will settle accounts with you!"
"Especially you! You are a patient who is still not well!"
He Yan curled his lips slightly and bent down.
"Yes, Commander Jiang!"
Jiang Yingying blushed when he said that. "What Jiang, leader..." She said the last two words a little breathlessly.
He Yan leaned over to her ear and said, "I will listen to whatever you say. You are my leader."
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips, "You..."
The time was almost up. He Yan looked at her deeply and wanted to put her in his pocket and take her wherever he went.
However, if that were really possible, he would not be willing to do so.
Comrade Jiang Yingying is an independent individual. She is herself first, and then a combination of various identities, such as the child of her parents, Jiang Chao’s sister, his partner…
"It's time to go," He Yan said with reluctance, "Yingying, I will miss you."
Jiang Yingying hummed, "Go and get busy, I will miss you too." She said, "Yan Yan!"
After shouting this, Jiang Yingying covered her face, turned around and ran quickly.
He Yan was burned by those two words for a moment, his eyes became deep, and he laughed for a moment.
As for him, his whole life was really ruined by Jiang Yingying alone, but he was willing to do so.
He Yan let out a breath, turned around and disappeared on the road to the staff quarters like a swift leopard.
Jiang Yingying trotted into the yard. Xu Zhishu looked up at her and asked with concern, "Yingying, why are you running so fast?"
Thinking of something, her eyes suddenly became cold and she looked behind her.
"Someone is pursuing you? Or..."
Jiang Yingying covered her face and calmed her rapid breathing. She said, "Sister-in-law, no..."
At this time, Jiang Yang came back running frantically from outside the yard. He met Xu Zhishu's unfriendly gaze and froze.
"Mom? I, I didn't run around, and I didn't get into trouble..."
"I'm not talking about you."
"Oh."
After hearing what Xu Zhishu said, Jiang Yang continued to run towards them happily, jumping and skipping.
Seeing him covered in dirt, Xu Zhishu said disdainfully, "Shake off the dirt on your body and go wash your hands. I don't want to see your little black paws at the dinner table!"
"I know, Mom, I will wash my hands."
After hearing his response and walking obediently to the well, Xu Zhishu ignored him.
She looked at Jiang Yingying, "Yingying, your brother packed dinner from the cafeteria. It has pork ribs in soy sauce!"
Jiang Yingying looked at the yard and asked, "Where's my brother? He's not eating dinner at home either?"
"Well, your brother has to go on a mission, and he just packed up two sets of clothes and left."
Xu Zhishu said, only then did he realize the meaning of Jiang Yingying's words.
"also?"
The disappointment in her eyes disappeared instantly, turning into full curiosity.
Jiang Yingying nodded, "Yeah." She was still a little embarrassed, and she pretended to be calm, "He Yan said he was busy recently and won't come to our house for dinner."
"So, he just sent you back?"
The girl’s blushing face was the best answer, and Xu Zhishu said "oh" meaningfully.
"It seems that our Captain He is really quite good."
Jiang Chao had just come back. He hurriedly put down his lunch box, packed two sets of clothes, and left without saying a few words.
Jiang Chao was busy, and He Yan should be even busier, but he still made time to go to the cafeteria to pick up Jiang Yingying and take her home.
Jiang Yang came back after washing his hands and feet, "Mom, aunt, when will my dad come back?"
He rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
Xu Zhishu said, "Your father is busy, so you don't have to wait for him to eat."
"Oh, okay, I'll get the dishes!"
"Huh?" Jiang Yang exclaimed, "Aunt, why is your face so red? Is it hot outside?"
Xu Zhishu laughed out loud and stood up to get the dishes and chopsticks, leaving Jiang Yingying to face Jiang Yang's puzzled questions.
Jiang Yingying reached out and pinched Jiang Yang's face as he came close to her, "It's a little hot, and your face is red too. Let's go and eat."
Jiang Yang was left there, covering his face, "Am I blushing? Isn't it hot?"
"Mom, aunt, what are we having for dinner?"
During this meal, without Jiang Chao and He Yan, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying felt a little uncomfortable.
The only person who ate happily was Jiang Yang.
After filling his stomach, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu, who were sitting opposite him and had stopped eating a long time ago.
"Aunt, Mom, you don't want to eat?"
"No more."
"I'm full."
Jiang Yang held his slightly protruding belly and said, "I'm full too."
The three of them sat in the yard, letting the breeze brush their cheeks. After sitting for a while, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu stood up to clean up the dishes, and Jiang Yang also stood up to clean up.
"Mom, Auntie, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Watching Jiang Yang carrying the dishes and chopsticks and walking towards the kitchen in small steps, Jiang Yingying looked at Xu Zhishu who was holding her.
"Sister-in-law, is this okay?"
Xu Zhishu felt no guilt for cheating the child. "It's good. Your brother is not at home. Xiaoyang washes the dishes. He washes the dishes cleaner than I do."
Jiang Yingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although Xu Zhishu said this, she still walked towards the kitchen, and Jiang Yingying followed behind her.
