Chapter 16 The First Meal (Part 2)
Jiang Yang said in a daze: "Uncle He..."
He Yan nodded at him, then walked forward under the guidance of Jiang Chao and the others.
The child followed the adults in a daze, and at this moment he was feeling a great shock in his heart.
Previously, the child also knew that He Yan was coming to visit his home, but it was not until this moment that Jiang Yang felt the reality in his heart.
He looked dazed. Captain He, who was known by everyone as the one who could catch bad kids, came to his house?
Jiang Yingying saw the dazed look on the child's face, stepped back a few steps, and reached out to rub his head.
She approached him and asked softly, "Yangyang, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yang looked at He Yan in front of him, then quietly approached Jiang Yingying, tiptoed, and whispered: "Aunt, do you think Uncle He will catch me later?"
His cute look immediately made Jiang Yingying laugh, but fortunately she remembered to hold back her laughter.
"Ahem..." Jiang Yingying coughed lightly, her eyes full of smiles, and she spoke in a surprised tone as if she was coaxing a child. "How could that be? Our Yangyang is not a bad kid. How could he take our Yangyang away..."
"If he is really unreasonable, then Auntie will definitely protect our Yangyang and won't let him catch you."
"Aunt..." Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yingying with such emotion that he almost realized it, "You are so good to me."
He Yan, who was walking in front, turned his head slightly to glance at the aunt and niece, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Jiang Chao led He Yan to sit down, and Xu Zhishu said, "Captain He, please sit down. The food is almost ready. I'll go and serve it..." After saying that, she nudged Jiang Yingying lightly with her elbow, then took small steps to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Yang followed suit.
"Uncle He, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks!"
Then he trotted into the kitchen.
Jiang Chao looked left and right, "He Tuan, please sit down! I'll go serve the dishes!" Before he stood up to escape, Jiang Chao's eyes met Jiang Yingying's.
"Yingying, um," as a "disloyal" brother, he felt a little guilty at the moment. "Just serve the big dish in the pot, right? Don't worry, I understand."
Jiang Chao laughed and went to the kitchen.
It's not that he is disloyal, it's just that he is a little excited and doesn't know what to say to He Yan, so he allows him to step back first.
As soon as Jiang Chao entered the kitchen, he was glared at by Xu Zhishu.
"How did you get in?" Xu Zhishu asked in a low voice, and then didn't want to hear his answer. "Okay, now that you're here, get to work. Put out the fire in the stove first, then serve the food in the pot..."
On a summer evening, with a gentle breeze blowing through, they decided to have dinner in the yard.
In the courtyard, Jiang Yingying and He Yan looked at each other in bewilderment.
It can't really be said that they stared at each other in bewilderment, but they were certainly speechless.
He Yan didn't know how to respond. Strangely enough, his usual way of dealing with lesbians was to give them the cold shoulder and ignore them.
But when facing Jiang Yingying, he actually wondered if it would be bad to just sit there without saying a word.
As for Jiang Yingying, she was considering how to talk to He Yan.
In the past month since coming to the military district, Jiang Yingying has heard a lot of rumors about He Yan.
Among those rumors, the most popular one, which was distilled by Jiang Yingying as the central idea, was: He Yan was not interested in women, nor did he like women to get close to him.
However, Jiang Yingying really wanted to thank him, but was afraid of making things worse. She didn't express her gratitude, and before she could repay the life-saving grace, she was hated by her savior.
So, before speaking, Jiang Yingying struggled and hesitated again and again.
"I……"
“He…”
The two spoke almost at the same time, and they were both startled when they heard each other's voices.
"you……"
"I……"
The two bumped into each other again. Jiang Yingying smiled embarrassedly. He Yan pursed his lips and said, "Comrade Jiang, you speak first."
"Captain He, thank you for saving me." Jiang Yingying said sincerely.
He Yan paused. He didn't expect that this would be her first sentence.
"You've told me thank you many times," He Yan said, "Comrade Jiang, you're welcome."
"I should thank you, Captain He. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life."
If He Yan hadn't passed by and saved her, she would have been the first person in ancient and modern times to die just after traveling through time.
Jiang Yingying said: "Captain He, I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, I will definitely help you."
She looked at him and smiled sheepishly.
"But now, it seems that I can only ask you to taste my cooking skills. I don't know if you like the food I cook?"
"Captain He, if you have any favorite foods or food taboos, please tell me and I will pay attention to it next time."
After saying that, Jiang Yingying didn't dare to look closely at He Yan's reaction. She stood up in a panic. "I, I'll go help in the kitchen."
Unexpectedly, He Yan also stood up. He looked at the little girl opposite him whose cheeks were flushed because of his actions.
He Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he rarely explained: "I'll go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chao came out in front of Xu Zhishu and the others.
"Come on, be careful, it's hot, braised pork, the first main dish of the night, it's definitely delicious!"
Xu Zhishu smiled at them and said, "Cold dishes, please take a seat and we will serve the dishes."
Jiang Yang walked behind. He walked steadily to the table and placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table in an orderly manner.
After everything was arranged, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu had already returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes. He Yan looked at Jiang Yingying and said, "I'll go help."
Jiang Yingying heated the dishes in the pot, and each one was still very hot. However, Jiang Chao and He Yan seemed not to be afraid of the heat. With their iron hands, the dishes were served to the table one by one.
After the last dish was served, Jiang Yang looked at the table full of delicious food and swallowed his saliva.
The dishes were served and everyone sat in a circle around the table.
Jiang Chao coughed, and under Xu Zhishu's gaze, he suppressed his excitement and unknown uneasiness, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of braised pork for He Yan first.
"Captain He, try it. Yingying's cooking skills are really amazing. I'm not exaggerating. No one in the entire military region can compare to her."
Under the gaze of everyone, He Yan put the "trembling" piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"How is it? How is it?" Jiang Chao asked.
Jiang Yang also looked at He Yan eagerly, "Uncle He, is it super delicious?"
Due to the magic of food, the father and son temporarily put aside their complicated feelings towards He Yan, and both looked at him with bright eyes.
Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying on the side also looked expectant. He Yan met Jiang Yingying's expectant eyes and his Adam's apple rolled.
