Chapter 70 A Little Bit
Jiang Yang sucked his saliva again.
The sound of his saliva destroyed Jiang Chao's serious expression.
The three adults looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles.
Jiang Chao reached out and pulled Jiang Yang's hair, "You kid, are you short of food at home?" Jiang Yang retorted confidently, "Auntie will cook delicious rabbit meat for me!"
Xu Zhishu quickly covered his mouth and said, "You can't say this out loud. You can't say it outside. Do you understand?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yang nodded heavily, blinking his eyes.
Only then did Xu Zhishu let him go. She had been holding him really tightly. The little guy first exhaled, then said: "Mom, I'm not a fool, I won't tell others about eating meat at home."
Jiang Chao patted the back of his head, "How do you talk to your mother?"
"Ouch!" Jiang Yang cried out in pain. Jiang Chao saw Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying looking at him with disapproval, "No, I didn't use much strength."
"If a child's head is not patted enough, he will be stupid anyway."
Jiang Yang was nodding frantically at first, but when he realized what Xu Zhishu said, he refused to agree.
The little guy hid behind Jiang Yingying and stomped his feet heavily. The little fat that had been fed during this period of time trembled.
"Auntie, they all bullied me."
Jiang Yingying held back her smile, don't wait for this little ancestor to say that the whole family bullied him.
"Is that so? Then I'll give you two more pieces of meat when we eat, okay?"
"Aunt is always nice to me." Jiang Yang said coquettishly.
Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao's eyes hurt. One of them squeezed to Jiang Yingying's side and pushed Jiang Yang away. The other grabbed Jiang Yang by the back of his neck and carried him out of the kitchen.
"Wow, Dad, put me down! I want to help my aunt."
"Just don't make trouble."
"I'm not making any trouble. I'm good, I'm really good!"
In the yard, the father and son started arguing, while Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu started preparing dinner.
Xu Zhishu moved a small stool and sat down, controlling the fire in the stove, chatting with Jiang Yingying, and indulging in the aroma that gradually filled the kitchen.
"It smells so good, Yingying, can you teach me how to make it?"
"Of course, sister-in-law, when I cook, I just use the ingredients I am willing to use, such as coriander, onions, and oil..."
The dishes in the pot were gradually cooked. Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang in the yard stopped making noise. They washed their hands and went into the kitchen to bring the bowls and dishes.
This dinner successfully filled little Jiang Yang's stomach again. Jiang Yingying rubbed his belly for him and reluctantly took out the remaining hawthorn meatballs in the cupboard, two for each of them.
After eating the hawthorn meatballs, the family of four went out for a walk on the road in the staff quarters to help digest the food.
Walking on the moonlit road, Jiang Yingying was blown by the night wind, and the thoughts in her heart grew wildly.
She missed He Yan a little, and she didn't know if he was thinking about her.
The four of them walked around the staff quarters for a few rounds, and after their stomachs felt less full, they headed back to the yard.
After washing up, Jiang Yingying returned to her room.
Xu Zhishu's little pillow had just been taken away by Jiang Chao. Tonight, Jiang Yingying slept alone, without Xu Zhishu to chat with her.
Jiang Yingying suddenly felt that the night was a bit long, and she was also feeling lazy. She was clearly craving for food, but she didn't want to get out of bed to satisfy it, so she just let the craving stir in her heart.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the second half of the night, but Jiang Yingying still didn't feel sleepy. She turned over, closed her eyes, and stayed up until dawn.
Hearing the sound of Jiang Chao going out for morning exercise, Jiang Yingying turned over and got up with dark circles under her eyes.
I haven't slept all night and I'm hungry again.
Jiang Yingying made egg-filled pancakes for breakfast to satisfy her craving for food. She said hello to Jiang Chao and the others, then went back to her room to take a nap.
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Jiang Chao and his friends spoke much more quietly when they went out to eat.
Today, Jiang Chao still took a detour to send Xu Zhishu and others to school.
Looking at Jiang Yang jumping up and down in front of him, Xu Zhishu asked quietly, "Captain He, are you not back yet?"
Jiang Chao responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
Xu Zhishu wanted to ask when He Yan would be back, but after looking at him, he gave up the idea of asking.
Jiang Yingying almost fell asleep, but luckily she wanted to go to the bathroom during the workday. She looked at the time and found that she was only a few minutes away from work.
This time, Jiang Yingying was a little late after all. However, the canteen did not have any system of deducting money for being late. Master Yang looked at the dark circles under her eyes and only told her to pay attention to the time next time.
Aunt Lanhua and the others didn't say anything. Jiang Yingying quickly put away her bag and started working.
When she was busy, Jiang Yingying had no time to think about someone. In order not to worry her brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Yingying always had a smile on her face.
She works hard at work, and takes Jiang Yang with her after get off work, either to help him with his homework or to make some snacks together.
Jiang Chao saw it and found Jiang Yingying privately to comfort her.
Looking at Jiang Chao's worried eyes, Jiang Yingying said, "Brother, I'm fine. I just miss him a little bit."
"This is normal. We are a couple and he's been gone for so long, so it's normal for me to miss him."
Jiang Chao originally wanted to comfort Jiang Yingying, but in the end, it seemed like she was comforting him.
During this period, He Lingwan would sometimes come to the house with some cakes or vegetables, and Jiang Yingying would feed her the newly researched cakes and various dried fruits.
As a result, He Lingwan's relationship with Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu became much closer.
He Lingwan is busy with work in the hospital and has little free time, so she seldom comes into contact with people in the family quarters. Because he wanted to take care of He Yan's partner, he visited them several times, and in the end, he became close friends with the two aunts and sisters-in-law regardless of their age difference.
That day, Jiang Yingying had just returned home from get off work. Jiang Yang and Xu Zhishu were already in the yard, but Jiang Chao had not yet returned from the army.
Xu Zhishu asked them both, and they both said they were not hungry, so he decided to wait for a while, but they still didn't come back.
Xu Zhishu said, "No need to wait, let's eat first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yang immediately ran to wash his hands, then brought out the dishes and chopsticks, and then put the lunch box in place.
The three of them had just finished eating for a while when they heard heavy footsteps at the door.
Jiang Chao came back, his face looked extremely heavy, which made Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying's eyebrows jump. Jiang Yang also put down his chopsticks.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhishu asked.
Jiang Chao rubbed his face, walked forward without saying a word, and sat on the chair.
Xu Zhishu frowned and was about to ask again. Jiang Chao spoke up, "There's news about He Yan."
Jiang Yingying's heart trembled. Looking at his expression, she asked anxiously, "Brother, what happened to He Yan?"
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now." Xu Zhishu urged, "Did he come back, or what happened?"
"The person hasn't come back yet. He is in the Capital Military Region Hospital." Jiang Chao looked at Jiang Yingying and said it. "The situation is very bad. There is a high possibility that he will never wake up again."
With a click, Jiang Yingying's chopsticks fell to the ground.
Xu Zhishu directly reached out and hit Jiang Chao's arm, her expression filled with anxiety.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by the possibility of not waking up?"
"He penetrated deep into the enemy's abdomen and lost contact. When he was found again, he had fallen into a coma and was said to have multiple fatal wounds."
Jiang Chao couldn't bear to look at Jiang Yingying's expression anymore, so he covered his eyes.
“Yingying…”
Jiang Yingying's face was extremely pale, but even so, she forced herself not to cry.
"Brother, is this news true?"
The words she asked were so light and fleeting that they disappeared in an instant. She saw Jiang Chao nod.
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips, and when she spoke again, she didn't know what she was saying.
"Brother, you haven't eaten yet, I'll get you a bowl."
As she spoke, she stood up tremblingly, and after taking a few steps, she collapsed to the ground.
“Yingying!”
"aunt!"
The Jiang family was in chaos because of Jiang Yingying's fainting.
In a military hospital in Beijing, a woman was standing beside her bed, crying. Next to her was a middle-aged man with red eyes, who looked 70% similar to He Yan lying on the bed.
"Okay, Guifang, don't cry and hurt your eyes."
"How can I not cry? Xiaobei might spend the rest of his life lying on this bed and never wake up again."
There was a flash of pain in He Jingqi's eyes. His wife was so sad and in pain that she couldn't control herself, and he was just holding on.
In just two days, He Jingqi had a lot more white hair.
He Yan was their youngest son. Some of his three older brothers had already joined the army.
He Jingqi and Lin Guifang spoiled this youngest son, who was born in old age, a little more than he did his three older brothers.
When Lin Guifang was young, she also participated in the battle of the Women's Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a military doctor, majoring in gynecology.
She went from being a killer to being a delivery man.
The couple did not require He Yan to achieve great things, they just wanted him to be safe and sound.
Because He Yan was a premature baby, he had poor health and suffered from minor illnesses when he was young.
But who could have thought that this child would become more stubborn as he grew up, and was admitted to a military academy when he grew up.
After joining the army, they go wherever there is danger and fight on the front line all the time.
After he turned 25, He Jingqi and Lin Guifang became concerned about his marriage, thinking that once he got married, he would have things to worry about and could take better care of his health.
They had been looking forward to it so long, year after year, that the couple had almost given up on the possibility of this stubborn boy getting married.
Who would have thought that a few days ago, He Yan called back and said that he was dating a female comrade he liked and wanted to become a revolutionary partner with her.
They were so happy that they packed a big package that day and sent it out the next day, asking He Yan to help pass the contents of the package to Jiang Yingying, their future daughter-in-law.
Lin Guifang calculated the time for the package to arrive and urged He Jingqi to call He Yan. When she called, she found out that He Yan had gone out on a mission.
Then, Lin Guifang saw her son lying on a stretcher covered in blood and being sent to the hospital.
In the past two days, Lin Guifang's tears could not stop flowing, and her eyes were almost swollen from crying.
He Jingqi sent a telegram to his sons at home about He Yan's injury. Now, they were rushing to the capital after receiving the news.
Lin Guifang wiped her face with the back of her hand and asked, "Have you sent a letter about Xiaobei?"
He Jingqi responded dully, "I said, that girl should know about He Yan's situation."
Lin Guifang took a look at her son lying on the bed, and finally couldn't help but buried herself in He Jingqi's arms and burst into tears.
He Jingqi had tears in his eyes and gently patted his wife's back.
In a military hospital in Yunnan Province, Jiang Yingying opened her eyes and saw Xu Zhishu, Jiang Chao, Jiang Yang, and He Lingwan who came to visit her bedside.
"Auntie..." Jiang Yang put his little hand on Jiang Yingying's hand with some worry.
"Yingying, are you awake? Don't scare me like this next time."
"Aunt He, could you please help us check if Yingying has any other questions?"
As soon as Xu Zhishu said this, except for Jiang Yang, the two of them stepped back a little, leaving enough space for He Lingwan to check Jiang Yingying's condition carefully.
After checking, He Lingwan closed the notebook.
"It's okay. Yingying fainted because she suffered a certain psychological shock."
The corners of He Lingwan's eyes turned slightly red. What a good child! Originally, the two of them would be a good match together.
But now... He Lingwan turned her face away and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.
"Yingying, don't be too emotional during this period. You can be discharged after this bottle of IV drip is finished." He Lingwan said, "I'll go to other wards first."
"Sorry to bother Aunt He."
After He Lingwan left, Jiang Yingying looked at their heavy faces and comforted them, "I'm fine. Didn't Aunt He just say that I can be discharged from the hospital after this bottle of liquid is infused?"
"Aunt..." Jiang Yang pursed his lips, tears falling from his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yingying coaxed softly, "Our Yangyang, don't cry. Auntie is fine. I scared you, didn't I? Auntie says sorry to you, okay?"
“Woo woo…”
Hearing the child crying, Jiang Yingying's eyes also turned red.
Jiang Chao patted the back of Jiang Yang's head, "Ouch!"
Jiang Chao said, "Yingying, it's okay. He just can't wake up for the time being. Who knows, maybe he will wake up tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or next week?"
"It's okay even if he never wakes up, Yingying. You two are just lovers. You can get divorced if you're married, and you can break up if you're dating."
"You can, forget about him, I'll find you a better one, and you can continue to live your life well from now on!"
Xu Zhishu looked at Jiang Yingying, who went from holding back tears to bursting into tears after hearing Jiang Chao's words. She felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't you see Yingying is upset? What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Zhishu scolded her and comforted her softly, "Yingying, let's not think about anything for now, okay? No matter what happens, my sister-in-law is here."
"sister in law……"
Jiang Yingying hugged Xu Zhishu and cried bitterly. Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang also cried with tears in their eyes.
Jiang Chao, a tough guy, also had tears in his eyes. He scratched his hair, turned around and left the ward.
He looked at the sky in the distance. Oh my God, He Yan is such a good person, why did he treat him like this? His sister and He Yan have such a good relationship, why did he treat them like this? Why?
