Chapter 308 Jiang, stop right there

When Zhou Jianghai went to Lu's house, he asked Jiang Tao to go with him.

Jiang Tao said he would not go.

"Didn't you say you wanted to meet your fellow villagers?"

"No, I can't eat hometown food even if I meet them. Besides, I will miss home more if I meet my fellow villagers."

"Ask your fellow villagers to give you non-spicy food."

"Most of the food in our hometown is spicy. The only non-spicy food is the fish balls that my neighbor's aunt made for me when I was sick when I was a child. I like it the most."

"Why don't you let the chef make it for you?"

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "No one else can make the food taste like my aunt's. The taste is different and it's boring to eat."

Seeing his pretentious look, Zhou Jianghai raised his foot and kicked him lightly: "In the army, I see that you like eating more than anyone else. You also eat as much as we have at home. Now you're picking it. It's up to you to go or not!"

Seeing that Zhou Jianghai was about to leave, Jiang Tao hurriedly limped to catch up.

"Captain, I'm a weak patient now, can't you accommodate me?"

Zhou Jianghai rolled his eyes at him: "I'm not accommodating you enough. If Zhibang was still picky about eating, I would have spanked him long ago."

...

Zhou Jianghai brought his family and Jiang Tao to Lu's Pickled Fish Restaurant.

Shen Siyuan came up and said: "Brother Jianghai, why are you here just now? We are short of one person. Come here quickly. Jiang Tao, the children are waiting for you to tell a story." As soon

as he finished speaking, Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie came over, hugged Jiang Tao's thighs, and wanted to listen to the story.

Jiang Tao was called away by the children. Zhou Jianghai said wait a minute, went to the kitchen, talked to Master Zhu, and asked him to make a fish ball with the characteristics of Province C, not spicy.

Master Zhu said, "Ximei is from Province C, this is what she is good at."

Zhou Jianghai then realized that Master Fan was a female chef.

Zhou Jianghai said, "My brother is also from Province C, he likes spicy food, but his leg is injured, the doctor told him to eat light food, so please make a dish of fish balls."

...

When Xiao Li brought the fish balls to Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao looked at Zhou Jianghai gratefully.

The leader was thoughtful, but he didn't want to eat fish balls...

Zhou Jianghai saw that the fish balls were served, but Jiang Tao didn't pick up his chopsticks, so he urged him, "You've been thinking about eating fish balls, and now they're served, why don't you eat them quickly!" Don't

let the leader's kindness go to waste. Jiang Tao took a spoonful of fish soup and put it into his mouth to taste it. His eyes widened immediately, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Zhou Jianghai asked, "Is it not delicious?"

Jiang Tao didn't answer, but scooped a fish ball into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Then, he ate the fish balls one after another. Seeing that he liked to eat, Zhou Jianghai casually said, "I thought the chef was a man at first, but it turned out to be a girl."

Jiang Tao stopped the spoon: "Girl?"

"Yeah, about 20 years old, last name Fan."

With a "bang", the spoon in Jiang Tao's hand fell to the ground.

Zhou Jianghai bent down to pick up the spoon, and seeing the surprised expression on Jiang Tao's face, he asked, "Do you know him?"

Jiang Tao paused and said, "No." Then he said, "Captain, I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go to the hospital to ask a doctor."

Jiang Tao's leg injury was a serious matter, Zhou Jianghai did not dare to delay, and told Liang Qiaoli to let the child stay, and took Jiang Tao away.

Just as the two of them walked to the door, Fan Ximei came out with a dish, put it on the table, and looked up at the door as she left.

"Jiang, stop right there!"

...

Everyone was shocked by Fan Ximei's voice.

Jiang Tao heard Fan Ximei's voice and pulled Zhou Jianghai away faster.

Fan Ximei strode to the door and grabbed Jiang Tao's clothes when he was about to get in the car.

"You sprained your ankle but you still ran so fast, are you afraid that I will cling to you?"

Jiang Tao said guiltily: "No, I have

something urgent to do and I have to leave first." "What are you in such a hurry to leave? Actually, you don't have to be like this. After I return the things to you, you can go wherever you like."

Jiang Tao pried Fan Ximei's hand apart, got into the car in a hurry, and urged Zhou Jianghai to hurry up.

Watching the car start to leave, Fan Ximei watched quietly, and when the car turned a corner and could no longer be seen, she went into the store.

In the back kitchen, Fan Ximei cooked all the dishes that needed to be cooked, and said she had to go back to her residence to get something.

Half an hour later, Fan Ximei came back, found Shen Jiale, and handed her a cloth bag.

"Boss lady, please give this to Jiang Tao. Also, I will stop working today. Can you pay me my salary? I want to go back to my hometown."

Shen Jiale asked, "Is Jiang Tao the ex-fiancé you are looking for?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you say you had something to ask him?"

"No, it's meaningless."

Seeing Fan Ximei's dejected expression, Shen Jiale said, "You have been looking for him for so long, and now you finally meet him, you should ask him. I don't think he is a treacherous person. There may be a misunderstanding between you two." "You can't know a person's heart by

knowing his face. Asking him won't change anything. If there is really a misunderstanding, he won't run away when he sees me."

Fan Ximei didn't want to mention Jiang Tao anymore, so she quietly cleaned up the kitchen, and left after cleaning up.

...

The next day, Fan Ximei didn't come to work overtime, and Jiang Tao didn't come either.

Shen Jiale still had something Fan Ximei asked her to give to Jiang Tao, so she went to Zhou's house.

Jiang Tao looked at the 2,000 yuan in the cloth bag and looked frustrated.

Zhou Jianghai learned from Shen Jiale that their engagement was cancelled.

He asked, "I remember you applied for marriage, why did you cancel the engagement?"

Jiang Tao looked at his legs and said, "How can I be worthy of her in this state? I'd better not delay her."

Zhou Jianghai said, "The doctor said your leg can be cured. You should go to the girl and explain it to her."

Shen Jiale saw that Jiang Tao canceled the wedding because of his injury, so he advised him to find Fan Ximei

as soon as possible. Because Fan Ximei was about to leave Beijing and prepare to return to her hometown.

If he missed her, it might be a lifetime.

In the end, Jiang Tao did not accept the money.

Shen Jiale went to Fan Ximei's residence and returned the money to her.

He also told her about Jiang Tao's leg injury.

"What, his leg is injured?"

Shen Jiale looked at Fan Ximei in confusion: "He was limping yesterday, didn't you see it?"

Fan Ximei was surprised and said: "I thought he sprained his ankle."

Seeing that Fan Ximei really didn't know about Jiang Tao's injury, Shen Jiale said: "He came to Beijing to treat his leg injury. Could it be that he broke off the engagement because of the injury and was afraid of dragging you down?

His leg, the doctor said it can be cured, I think you should sit down and talk about it."

She came to Jiang Tao with a lot of resentment, but now that he was injured, Fan Ximei felt very conflicted. She

said without mercy: "Maybe God can't stand his behavior and punishes him."

A car drove to the door and stopped, and Zhou Jianghai got out of the car.

"Are you Jiang Tao's fiancée?"

Fan Ximei said, "Not for a long time. He was the one who called off the engagement."

Zhou Jianghai said, "Jiang Tao is not what you said. He was supposed to be transferred to Beijing with me to work and go back to get married at the end of the year. But he was injured while on duty three months ago.

I thought the wedding was just postponed, but he called off the engagement."
