At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were no customers in the store. Li Yunshu and the others finished their staff meal and prepared to take a break to prepare for the evening rush hour.
Qin Ye took out the information and books sent back by Li Zhanxiang and started studying on his own.
"Xiao Ye, you take care of the front. I'm going to take a nap in the back." Li Yunshu said with a yawn.
Qin Ye nodded and said, "Mom, you go ahead. I'll take care of the store."
Just as Li Yunshu turned around and was about to leave, someone entered the store.
"Little sister." A familiar voice sounded.
Li Yunshu turned his head and saw his brother Li Boyan.
"Brother 괗, why are you here?" Li Yunshu asked in surprise.
Li Boyan asked jokingly, "Why? Welcome, brother?"
"How could that be?" Li Yunshu said, "I'm so happy that you can come. Brother, please sit down."
Li Boyan smiled and sat down on the bench.
Qin Ye went to pour water with great tact.
"Brother 괗, when did you come back? Have you had lunch?" Li Yunshu asked.
Li Boyan said: "I came back at 8 o'clock in the morning. I had a meeting and had to go back to the military area after the meeting. So, I stopped by your place to have some dumplings."
"Then why didn't you go home?" Li Yunshu asked.
Li Boyan nodded. "Yes, it's on the way, but I don't have time. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll take two days off to go home and spend time with my parents."
"Please drink some water." Qin Ye placed the water in front of Li Boyan, and immediately knew that he should call Commander Li "uncle".
Li Boyan glanced at Qin Ye, then looked at Li Yunshu and asked, "Is this child your godson?"
Li Yunshu smiled and nodded, "Oh, this child is called Qin Ye. He is very sensible and very smart."
"Xiao Ye, call me uncle."
"Uncle." Qin Ye called out somewhat embarrassedly.
How could he deserve to call a military commander uncle?
Li Boyan smiled, raised his hand and pinched his arm, and said the same words as Grandpa Li.
"This kid is pretty strong, a good candidate for the military. Boy, are you interested in joining the army?"
Qin Ye: "I want to take the college entrance examination first."
Hearing this, a hint of regret flashed across Li Boyan's eyes, but he patted Qin Ye's arm and said, "You are right to have this ambition. Knowledge is the weapon of a strong country."
"This is our first meeting, and I haven't prepared any gift for you, so I'll just give you this pen." Li Boyan said as he took out the pen from the pen bag on his chest and handed it to Qin Ye.
This is an imported Parker pen.
"Thank you, uncle." Qin Ye stretched out his hands to take it.
Li Boyan looked at him and said, "Good boy, use this pen to get into a good university and serve your country."
Qin Ye held the cold metal pen and said, "I will."
"Brother, we have a new braised pork rice in our store. Would you like to try it?" Li Yunshu looked at Brother and said, "I'll make some for you, and then cook some dumplings for you."
"OK."
Li Yunshu entered the kitchen, put the dumplings into the pot, and then quickly prepared half a bowl of braised pork rice.
Seeing that Brother Xiao's jeep was parked on the side of the road and the orderly driving the car was still sitting in the car, he asked Qin Ye to bring him a bowl of braised pork rice.
After the dumplings were cooked, Li Yunshu brought them to Brother 괗, who then sat opposite him and chatted with him.
Xiaochun's mother went to visit her sick aunt and passed by the dumpling shop on her way home. She wanted to go in and chat with Li Shuping, but she saw Li Shuping sitting opposite a middle-aged man in military uniform, talking and laughing.
She paused, stepped aside a little, and stood by the door, secretly looking at the person.
Although I could only see the man's profile, I could tell that he was strong and tall, with an outstanding temperament, and looked like an ordinary person.
Moreover, the two people were talking and laughing, and their attitude was very intimate, so their relationship seemed too ordinary.
Xiaochun's mother felt like a cat scratching her heart, and was full of curiosity about the relationship between Li Shuping and the man.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a military jeep parked on the side of the road and shifted her gaze to the car.
Needless to say, this jeep must belong to the man who was chatting enthusiastically with Li Shuping in the store.
This man is in his forties and has a private car for traveling. He looks like a senior military officer!
"This could be Li Shuping's new partner, right?" Xiaochun's mother murmured to herself, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Li Shuping got divorced and was able to find a high-ranking military officer. Her life was so good.
This man is a high-ranking officer with a car. Even if he is a widower, what kind of woman can he find?
Why did you choose Li Shuping, a divorced self-employed person?
With his conditions, it would be easy for him to find someone younger and more educated than Li Shuping.
Xiaochun's mother could understand. She shook her head and looked at the senior officer inside, then looked at the jeep on the side of the road. Suddenly, she found that the soldier sitting in the driver's seat was staring at her with sharp eyes.
Her breath choked, and she hurriedly lowered her head and walked away.
Li Boyan was about to leave after dinner, so Li Yunshu made him some dumplings. There was a refrigerator in the house he lived in the military area, so he took them home and froze them so he could eat them for several days.
Li Yunshu and Qin Ye sent Li Boyan to the car, and told the orderly who was driving to drive safely.
Only after the car drove away did Li Yunshu and Qin Ye turn around and go back to the store.
Li Boyan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pinched his brows and said to the orderly, "I'll take a nap. Wake me up when we get to the military area."
"Okay, Commander." The orderly remembered something. "Oh, Commander, just now when you were eating in the dumpling shop, a middle-aged woman was standing outside the door, staring at you and your sister for a while."
Li Boyan opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "It must be a customer of my little sister's dumpling shop. Seeing me in military uniform appear in the shop, he was a little curious, so he stared at me for a while, and didn't get in the way."
After saying that, Li Boyan closed his eyes.
When Xiaochun's mother returned to Yard 18, she called out Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wang.
"Do you know that Li Shuping has found a boyfriend?" Xiaochun's mother looked at the man and asked.
"What? Li Shuping found a partner?" Mrs. Lai came out of the house.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhao looked at each other, frowned and said, "I haven't heard of it. Don't talk nonsense."
Xiaochun's mother said, "I just saw it with my own eyes. How can I say such nonsense?"
"What kind of old man did Li Shuping find?" Aunt Lai asked Xiaochun's mother curiously.
In her opinion, if Li Shuping, a divorced woman, wants to remarry, she can only find an old man.
Xiaochun's mother curled her lips and said sourly, "Li Shuping is so lucky. She got divorced and opened a dumpling shop. The business is so good. The man she found next time is really good."
"How good can it be?" asked Mrs. Lai with a drooping mouth.
Xiaochun's mother: "He's a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and strong, looking very tough and imposing. He's also a high-ranking officer and even travels in a military vehicle."
"How do you know?" asked Aunt Zhao.
Xiaochun's mother glared and said, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"I was sitting in Li Shuping's shop eating dumplings, sitting face to face with her, chatting and laughing, and it was so intimate. Her military vehicle was parked on the side of the road, and there was a special driver."
