Chapter 98 Harmony
When the two returned to the courtyard, Jiang Yingying and the other two had already sat down.
Seeing He Yan and the others coming in with things in their hands, Xu Zhishu finally reacted.
"Just come back. Why bring so many things with you? You're too polite."
He Yan also replied: "It's what I should do." After he and Jiang Chao put down their things, He Yan walked to Jiang Yingying's side and raised his hand to rub Jiang Yang's little head who was leaning against her.
The child turned his head away and didn't look at him.
He Yan had already noticed the little guy's strange attitude towards him when they first met at the alley.
Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao also noticed something at this time. Xu Zhishu winked at Jiang Chao, and Jiang Chao coughed lightly.
He Yan took out some candy from his pocket. This was something he learned from Jiang Yingying. With candy in his pocket, he could coax any child.
Not only can he coax children, he can also coax his wife.
When going out today, thinking of Jiang Yang, He Yan specially grabbed a handful of candies and put them in his pocket, all of which were intended for his little nephew.
Sure enough, as soon as he took out the candy, little Jiang Yang's eyes were attracted to it, and his attitude towards him softened a little.
"Yangyang, here you go."
Jiang Yang looked at him, then looked up at Jiang Yingying, and took it obediently.
"Thank you, uncle." The little guy is actually very easy to coax, but after coming to Beijing for some time, he and Jiang Yingying could see each other every day, but suddenly they couldn't see each other these days.
On the day of Jiang Yingying's wedding, he was still very happy. He waited for a long time in the yard after being taken back to the courtyard by Xu Zhishu and the others, but Jiang Yingying still didn't come back until dark.
He was a little panicked until Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao explained the meaning of marriage to him and knew that his aunt would not live with them in the future, but with He Yan.
Jiang Yang has been secretly swearing these past two days that he will no longer be with He Yan.
But as a child, he looked at He Yan so generously giving him a handful of candies, as well as the pastries that Grandma Qin had sent over yesterday. Most importantly, his favorite aunt was right by his side.
Jiang Yang decided that he would not be angry for the time being, and would wait until he finished eating the candy before he would be angry with him.
Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying were talking, and Jiang Yang squeezed next to them, not caring whether he could understand them or not. As long as he was next to Jiang Yingying, he felt very happy.
Jiang Chao and He Yan were talking about things in the army. They were not allowed to talk about missions or confidential matters, but they started chatting about the reform of training methods and combat methods, and they became more and more excited as they talked.
Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu stopped to listen to what they said, and they seemed to be worried about the soldiers under them.
After a while, Xu Zhishu took Jiang Yingying into the inner room, and Jiang Yang was sent by her to play somewhere else.
Jiang Yang thought about it, then went back to the yard and pestered He Yan and Jiang Chao to tell him stories about the war.
This is a little hobby he developed after spending a long time with He Jingqi. When they first met, Jiang Yang was a little scared of He Jingqi, the fierce-looking grandfather.
But Jiang Yang couldn't resist Grandpa He's telling them war stories. He was no longer afraid of him and even started to like listening to their old stories.
Telling war stories is not difficult for soldiers.
All you have to do is pick out the parts of the battles they experienced that can be told, and then polish them up a little with the art of language.
Therefore, Jiang Chao and He Yan agreed to Jiang Yang's small request to hear a story without any pressure.
In the inner room, Xu Zhishu quietly asked Jiang Yingying, "How is it, the He family, are they treating you well?"
Jiang Yingying nodded and said, "They are all very nice to me."
Xu Zhishu looked at her with a smile, "I can see that," she said, "You can't fake the happiness in your eyes, but I still have to hear it from you in person, so that your brother and I can feel at ease."
After saying this, she continued, "How are you two, are you in harmony?"
Being caught off guard by Xu Zhishu's question, coupled with the ambiguous and caring smile on her face, Jiang Yingying blushed.
If possible, she really doesn't want to be the girl who understands people instantly.
Xu Zhishu said: "Don't be shy, marital harmony is an important part of your future stability."
"Is it okay?"
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips and found that she was really, sometimes not as open-minded as Xu Zhishu. She was the one who fell behind.
She had to admit her "feudal backwardness". She covered her enthusiastic face and said, "It's quite good."
Looking at Jiang Yingying's red face, Xu Zhishu still had some conscience. It was okay, so she stopped asking.
Xu Zhishu asked about Jiang Yingying's living conditions at the He family. The questions she asked sometimes didn't reveal anything, but they could get the information she wanted to know.
Xu Zhishu held Jiang Yingying's hand, leaned his head on her shoulder, and said with emotion: "Girl, you are really a fool with good fortune."
"When the news of Captain He's condition was reported back to the military region, many people said that he might not wake up. The position of the captain would have to be replaced, and the news that you two were dating would probably also be blown up."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be as stupid as you. I would have run away long ago."
"You were so stupid, yet you still came to Beijing. Now you have finally got what you wanted. Foolish people have good fortunes. You really woke me up. The He family has been very nice to you."
"If they really are the same before and after marriage, I, Xu Zhishu, will be the first one to disallow it!"
Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not that stupid..."
“They were very nice to me.”
"It's because you are good that they treat you well."
"I will be nice to them because they are nice to me."
The aunt and sister-in-law were getting along well with each other, and soon they were all laughing. Xu Zhishu reached out and poked Jiang Yingying on the forehead.
After Xu Zhishu showed concern for Jiang Yingying's situation in the He family, he began to tell her about the ways for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along, and his words were very detailed.
Jiang Yingying didn't know where she got this insight from, but it sounded reasonable.
Halfway through the conversation, the two would always go off topic and talk about the latest gossip in the family compound.
After Jiang Yingying finished listening happily and Xu Zhishu was satisfied with his talk, the two of them realized that the men in the yard outside seemed to have stopped talking.
The two of them looked at each other, stood up and left the yard.
He Yan, Jiang Chao and the others were indeed not in the yard. They told Jiang Yang stories about war for a long time until they were thirsty.
When it came to the third story, He Yan and Jiang Chao had already begun to admire old men like He Jingqi who were good at telling stories. Meeting Jiang Yang's expectant eyes, He Yan forced himself to finish the third story.
Then, the little boy hadn’t heard enough of the story and wanted to continue listening.
When Jiang Chao wanted to spank him twice, He Yan stopped him. Today was the day they were going back to their parents' home, and if the child cried, it might have a bad impact.
