While the two were declining, Ye Li caught a glimpse of Daman who had been standing at the kitchen door looking out.
The child's eyes were always glued to the food, and she knew that the child was actually very eager to receive it.
"Sister Guihua, I didn't buy this for you. I bought it for my two children! You should take it quickly. The children are growing up. If they don't get enough nutrition, they won't grow taller or stronger!"
The two children are the apple of Liu Guihua's eye. Her heart softened when Ye Li mentioned the children.
"Then...then I'll accept it." Liu Guihua said very embarrassedly.
"Take it quickly! Don't be polite!"
"Okay." Liu Guihua is not a person who likes to take advantage of others, but when she saw these things, she was still very happy.
After seeing Liu Guihua pack up her things, Daman smiled, and then he quickly went into the kitchen and never came out again.
After Liu Guihua put the things away, she poured two bowls of mung bean soup and brought them up. She also specially put some white sugar in the mung bean soup, making it taste sweet.
...
...
"I don't have anything good to offer you. Let's drink some mung bean soup to cool down."
"It's so hot! This mung bean soup can prevent heatstroke and reduce body temperature. It's perfect to drink now." Ye Li picked up the bowl with a smile and handed it to Jiang Xun first.
Liu Guiying has never had the courage to look at Jiang Xun since he came in.
It was not until Jiang Xun finished drinking the mung bean soup that she hurriedly took the bowl and said, "Give it to me."
"Sister Guihua, I haven't introduced him to you yet. This is my man Jiang Xun. He works in the design department of our factory."
"I heard about it." Liu Guihua looked at Jiang Xun with a somewhat restrained expression, "Comrade Jiang is a retired soldier. I heard that he is a hero who has made great contributions. He is very good at mechanics! We all admire him very much..."
Jiang Xun smiled faintly: "I'm not a hero. I just accidentally fell off a cliff while carrying out a secret mission, and my leg is broken."
Liu Guihua's eyes fell on Jiang Xun's legs again, with a look of regret on her face: "What a pity... People in the factory are talking about how Comrade Jiang is very handsome, but it's a pity that his legs are so bad..."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say this, so she immediately waved her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You see, I don't know how to speak, I'm really sorry."
Four years have passed, and although Jiang Xun often feels regretful when he thinks about it, if this is his fate, he has no choice but to accept it.
"It's okay, it's all in the past, I'm used to it."
Liu Guihua felt that she shouldn't talk about this topic, so she wanted to change the subject.
Ye Li didn't expect that Liu Guihua would choose this topic right away.
This is quite good. Isn’t this the reason why she brought Jiang Xun with her?
"Ye Li, is your factory busy now? I heard you are working in a weaving factory?"
Liu Guihua wanted to change the subject, but Ye Li didn't want to. She immediately said, "It's okay. I work in the publicity department of the factory, and I usually work the day shift! It's convenient for me to take care of Jiang Xun! To be honest, his leg is really inconvenient, and he has to work much harder than others!"
Seeing that Ye Li was not shy about talking about Jiang Xun's leg, Liu Guihua asked Ye Li, "It is indeed not very convenient. Have you treated this leg over the years?"
"He was treated a few years ago, but the medical level at that time was not as good as it is now, and he was not cured. However, I did not give up. I always wanted to cure his leg! I have been working hard to save money these days, hoping that one day I can meet a good orthopedic doctor who can cure his leg! As long as his leg can be cured, I am willing to spend any amount of money and pay any price!" Ye Li said seriously.
Jiang Xun glanced at Ye Li, feeling a warm current in his heart.
Ye Li only said that she wanted him to heal her leg, but she never said that she was so determined in her heart.
When Liu Guihua heard this, her heart was filled with waves.
She thought of her husband.
When her husband was dying, he repeatedly told her to take good care of the children and live a good life.
She cried until she almost fainted and asked him why he could be so stupid?
But he said: "It's a good thing that he died! If it can allow them and their son to live a good life from now on, his death will be worth it!"
Liu Guihua's eyes were red. She tried her best to suppress the sadness in her heart and said in a hoarse voice: "Ye Li, you are such a good girl! Comrade Jiang is so lucky to marry you! Don't give up this hope. Maybe one day his leg can be cured!"
"That's what I thought."
"Yeah." An image of a person flashed through Liu Guihua's mind, but it was gone in a flash. She stood up and said, "You two should sit for a while. I'll go prepare the meal."
"Sister Guihua, let me help you." Ye Li stood up.
"No, no, you stay with Comrade Jiang."
"He doesn't need me to accompany him." Seeing Daman secretly observing again, Ye Li smiled and said, "Our Jiang Xun has his own way of taking care of children! He likes children very much, why not let him help you take care of the child."
Liu Guihua then remembered that her eldest son was still in the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted, "Daman! Daman! Come out! Haven't you always wanted to join the army when you grow up? This uncle is a retired soldier, come and keep him company."
Ye Li added: "Uncle has many stories about the army, come and listen!"
Daman was attracted by Ye Li's words and walked out of the kitchen. He came to Jiang Xun and asked, "Are you a soldier?"
Jiang Xun nodded: "It used to be."
"Is that a hero?"
Jiang Xun smiled: "Not really. But, there are many stories about heroes around me. Do you want to hear them?"
Daman nodded: "I want to listen!"
"Well, I'll tell you!"
Seeing Jiang Xun and Daman telling stories, Ye Li was helping Liu Guihua cook in the kitchen.
As for Wang Sha, she can do whatever she wants and Ye Li doesn't care about her.
It was not until dinner time that Wang Sha came back with a face red from the scorching sun.
Her purpose was to get a free meal, so she left after having a sumptuous meal.
Ye Li was not in a hurry to leave, and stayed here with Jiang Xun for another half an afternoon.
Daman and Jiang Xun became familiar with each other. As an older man and a younger man, they had endless things to talk about.
Ye Li and Liu Guihua chatted a lot about family matters. Seeing that the afternoon was almost over, Ye Li said goodbye to Jiang Xun.
When leaving, Daman looked at Jiang Xun eagerly and asked him, "Uncle Jiang, when can you come again?"
Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Haven't you heard enough?"
"Yeah!" Daman nodded. "My brother Xiaoman went to my uncle's house, so he can't hear it this time. He and I both want to hear stories about heroes. I want Uncle Jiang to come over next time and tell stories to Xiaoman and me."
"Your Uncle Jiang is busy, just tell Xiaoman."
Ye Li smiled slightly. Isn’t this opportunity here?
So, she smiled and said, "Sister Guihua, I see that Daman's clothes are all old and his pants are all patched. Our factory happens to have a batch of defective cloth. I'll send some to you so you can make two new sets of clothes for the two children."
