Ji Lin always kept his word before. As long as he said he would come to find her, he would definitely come to find her.
But this time, something unusual happened, leaving Jiang Sui a little confused.
The more confused she was, the more she pondered the matter all the time. She thought of countless reasons and wanted to know which one of them was the reason why Ji Lin didn't come to see her.
Due to her frequent distractions, the needle in her hand lost its accuracy and accidentally pierced the fingertip of her other hand.
"Hiss——" She quickly threw away the needle in her hand, lowered her head and put her bleeding finger in her mouth, as if this could relieve the pain.
"What's the matter? Look at you, you seem to have lost your soul these past two days." Zhao Xingmei lifted the door curtain and walked into the house, just in time to see Jiang Sui pricking his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Sui waved his hand.
"What are you doing?" Seeing her sewing something, he went up to her and flipped through the pieces of cloth. "Are you making clothes? For your dad? No, the size is wrong. Your dad is not that tall... Are you making it for your eldest brother?"
"no."
...
...
"Your third brother?"
“No.”
"Who is that?" Zhao Xingmei guessed several times without success and lost her patience to guess any further, so she asked directly.
"I made it for Brother Ji Lin." Jiang Sui's face turned slightly red.
Zhao Xingmei looked at her and laughed: "What? Are you attracted? Sui Sui, we all think Ji Lin is a good guy. He has a good family background, is very polite, and is devoted to you. In fact, mom has wanted to urge you for a long time, but your eldest brother and sister-in-law have always advised me not to interfere in this matter and let you think about it carefully. Now, have you figured it out?"
Jiang Sui nodded gently: "I think I understand."
"It's good that you have figured it out." Zhao Xingmei was happy, and her mood suddenly brightened up. "Go ahead, do it. Do it better. Later, when you get married, mom will give you a sewing machine as a gift."
"Mom, we've only just started. Isn't it a little too early to talk about the future?"
"Not early, what do you mean early? By the way, have you told Ji Lin about your feelings?" Zhao Xingmei asked.
Jiang Sui shook his head: "No."
"Hurry up and tell him. Xiao Lin will surely jump up with joy when he hears it! He is so old now, he must be anxious to get married. Now that you have made up your mind, our two families can sit down together and discuss the marriage." Zhao Xingmei urged.
"Okay, I'll tell him when I see him."
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly." After Zhao Xingmei finished speaking happily, she suddenly realized something, "Why haven't I seen Xiaolin these few days? On weekdays, he would like to run to our house eight times a day? Is he on a mission? Or something else?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Sui put down the needlework in her hands, a worried look on her face, "Mom, do you think he regretted it? So, he deliberately avoided me and didn't see me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't think Xiaolin is that kind of man! There must be something going on, don't think too much! You don't have to worry about this matter, I will ask your sister-in-law to ask your eldest brother, and let your eldest brother find out about it." Zhao Xingmei said.
"Okay." Jiang Sui nodded in agreement.
Her daughter’s matter was a big deal now. Zhao Xingmei didn’t waste any time. She came out of her room and knocked on Ye Li’s door.
Ye Li was not in a very good mood these past two days and felt a little tired, so he asked for a leave from his unit and wanted to rest at home for two days.
She was lying down when she heard someone knocking on the door, so she said, "The door is not locked, just come in."
Zhao Xingmei came in, and seeing Ye Li's haggard face, she couldn't help but feel distressed again: "Li Li, do you have to go to this shift? I see that you don't look very good. Pregnant women have rosy complexions. Even if they are tired and uncomfortable in the first three months, their complexions are not as bad as yours. In my opinion, you should take a break if you can't do it."
Ye Li smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not that squeamish. The work at the factory is not too busy, and Section Chief Li takes good care of me. I just need to rest for two days. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"Sui Sui's matter. Hasn't Xiao Lin come to see Sui Sui these past few days? Sui Sui is so uneasy and is having wild thoughts now, worried that Xiao Lin doesn't want to be with her anymore. I think when Jiang Xun comes back, you can ask Jiang Xun to find out what's going on."
After Zhao Xingmei mentioned this, Ye Li remembered that Jiang Sui had said a few days ago that he would give Ji Lin a reply in two days.
She thought the two had already met, but she didn't expect that Ji Lin didn't come.
"Mom, don't worry. When Jiang Xun comes back, I'll ask him."
"Okay, okay, Mom will wait for your news."
Jiang Xun came back from outside after get off work, holding two pounds of fresh apples in his hand. Ye Li had a poor appetite after she became pregnant and could not eat anything except fruits.
"Look what I bought you?" Jiang Xun put the apple on the table as soon as he entered the room.
"Apple!" Ye Li was happy, "Go wash one for me, I want to eat it."
"Okay, wait, I'll wash it for you."
"Hey, wait, go and find out what Ji Lin is busy with recently. He hasn't come to see Su Su. Su Su has been in a bad mood these days and is worried that Ji Lin is no longer with her." Ye Li said.
"After I wash the apples for you, I'll find a place to call him and ask him directly."
"Uh-huh."
After Jiang Xun took care of his wife, he rode his bicycle to the post office to borrow a phone and called the military compound directly.
The call was transferred to the Ji family, and the person who answered the call was Ji Lin's mother Zhang Lanzhi.
"Aunt Zhang, what has Ji Lin been busy with recently? I haven't seen him for several days. I want to talk to him about something."
Zhang Lanzhi sighed, "Ji Lin got into trouble. He didn't let me tell you. Since you called to ask me today, I'll tell you. Ji Lin sent his father back home by bus. On the way back, he ran into a robber on the street. He went to help, but was stabbed with a knife!"
"What?" Jiang Xun was a little shocked after hearing this. "Ji Lin was stabbed? Were there many people trying to rob him? Ji Lin is quite skilled. Three or five people can't get close to him!"
"Two people." Zhang Lanzhi said, "Actually, he has dealt with this kind of thing many times on weekdays, but he was a little depressed when he came back that day, and he had a fever the next day. We didn't know that he was fighting with the criminals with a high fever..."
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Auntie, which hospital is he in now? Let's go see him."
"You don't have to come. He's fine now. The surgery is done. He just needs two days to recover."
"How can that be possible? Auntie, please tell me the address. If you don't, we will go to every hospital to look for him!"
"People are at home now."
"Okay, let's go see Ji Lin tonight."
"No, really!" Zhang Lanzhi refused again and again, "He didn't let me tell you because he was afraid that you would worry about him. If he knew I told him, he would definitely be angry with me."
Jiang Xun was silent for a moment and then said, "Aunt Zhang, it was Sui Sui who was worried about Ji Lin. She was so worried that she couldn't eat."
Zhang Lanzhi heard that her future daughter-in-law was worried, and she smiled instantly: "Okay, okay, come on, come on, when you get there, ask the sentry to call and I'll pick you up!"
