Han Jingyuan sat down seemingly casually, choosing a position very close to Su Ying. The distance between them was no more than three inches, and Su Ying could even feel the heat from the man's body.
Su Ying also seemed to say casually: "The light is over there."
She was about to turn over and go to sleep when she heard Han Jingyuan say, "I am ready to fulfill the husband-wife obligations you mentioned when we signed the agreement."
Su Ying was not sleepy at all. She was very annoyed. Han Jingyuan came out of the shower wearing cool clothes and was so reserved. It turned out that he came to fulfill his duties as a couple.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a few days earlier or later, the key is that today is really the wrong timing.
She really wanted to indulge herself and not care about anything, but she was afraid that her original body would wake up in this body and take Gu Zhinan and Cancan away. In Han Jingyuan's eyes, "she" would be an unfaithful person who slept with them but refused to admit it.
I’m afraid Han Jingyuan will be even more sad.
Su Ying struggled for a while, then asked through gritted teeth: "Why today?"
"Um?"
"I asked you why today?"
Su Ying looked from his handsome features to his strong abdominal muscles and swallowed. "You did it on purpose. Why did you choose today? Is it because you feel safe at home?"
Han Jingyuan: ... "No?"
"I'm not in the right mood." Su Ying said honestly, "It's too deliberate. How about changing the date?"
There was no emotion on Han Jingyuan's handsome face, but Su Ying could see countless cracks from the color of his aura.
He was sad, disappointed and discouraged.
Su Ying was shocked. She had just refused a couple's obligation. Was there any need to react so strongly?
Just as she was about to make amends, Han Jingyuan turned off the light and lay down on the edge of the bed.
"I can't do anything about you." His tone trembled, "Go to sleep."
…
Before six in the morning, Su Ying and Han Jingyuan had arrived at the train station with their four children.
Han Huaishan's physical condition is comparable to that of five years ago. Han Jingyuan was talking to the old man on the platform, and Han Huaishan nodded frequently.
Han Xinxing tugged at Su Ying's sleeve and told her to look at the entrance to the hard seat car. "Mom, look, that's my brother Qinghe."
Su Ying saw Xie Feicui and Sheng Jianye bringing Qinghe to see Cheng Guizhi off on the platform. Su Ying heard the quarrel and did not go over to say hello.
Sheng Jianye said in a low but firm voice, "Mom, you asked me to be the son-in-law of the Xie family. My father-in-law also gave us 600 yuan to build a house. We should be trustworthy. I have changed Qinghe's surname. It is not appropriate for you to bring the grandson of the Xie family back to the Sheng family."
Cheng Guizhi was furious at her eldest son's change of attitude and could only pin her hopes on her grandson. Only if she brought the child back would her son continue to send money home.
She coaxed him, "Qinghe, come back to your hometown with grandma, okay? Grandma will buy you some meat."
Qinghe didn't want to go back, he wanted to be with his parents, "Grandma, please save the meat for my cousins. My parents will buy delicious food for me. Even if I don't have meat to eat, Qinghe will be happy to stay with my parents."
Xie Feicui felt warm at heart, kissed her son's little face, and turned to Cheng Guizhi and said, "Mom, I will remit your pension every month from now on. It won't be less."
"What can you do with ten dollars a month?"
Xie Feicui smiled, "Ten yuan can buy fifteen kilograms of pork, or sixty kilograms of rice, which is enough to support you in your old age. If mom thinks it's too little, I'll go to the company and sue your son. But I've got to tell you, if your son loses his job, he won't even have this ten yuan a month pension."
Cheng Guizhi really wanted to beat her son, but according to her son’s household registration book, her daughter-in-law was the head of the household. Even Qinghe changed his surname to Xie Qinghe, so she couldn’t take Xie’s grandson away.
She glared at her son fiercely, "You're afraid that others don't know you're a live-in son-in-law. It's embarrassing."
After saying that, he got on the train angrily.
Sheng Jianye didn't care about his status as a son-in-law at all. Just as Xia Lianfang had planned, he started to resent his biological mother and no longer dared to hand the child over to her. Even when his biological mother offered to stay and help take care of the child, he was unwilling to do so. He would rather spend money to find a neighbor in the family compound who knew him well and help pick up and drop off the child to school.
Xie Feicui and her husband came over to greet Su Ying, "We are here to send my mother-in-law back to her hometown."
Su Ying asked with a smile: "Did Qinghe really change his surname?"
Xie Feicui pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course not, Xie Qinghe, it's clearly registered in the household registration book." Her mother-in-law could no longer use the child to dig at her flesh.
Su Ying also thought this was a good idea, and raised her voice, "Han Jingyuan, when we have a child in the future, can you give him my last name?"
The passengers and conductors who were nearby on the platform all looked at the man being questioned with a smile, thinking that he would agree immediately because of his face.
The first one to agree was Han Huaishan. He said cheerfully, "As long as you two are willing to have children, no matter how many you have, you can give them the surname Su. Grandpa has no objection."
The old man looked back at Han Jingyuan and saw that he was biting his cheeks tightly, pursing his lips tightly, and did not respond. This made his granddaughter-in-law embarrassed in public and he was very angry.
He still had to save some face for his grandson outside. Han Huaishan cursed in a low voice: "What's with that expression on your face? It's like your father has died. Yes, your father is dead. If he were still alive, he would have slapped you in the face. Apologize to your wife after you get in the car."
Sheng Jianye hurried over to smooth things over, put his arm around Han Jingyuan's shoulders, and advised: "The child born is both yours, so what does it matter whose surname it is? Han Jingyuan, I didn't expect you to be so pedantic. Get in the car and coax your wife, don't let her get angry and run away."
Han Jingyuan felt bitter. No, it wasn't about the surname. He was angry not because of whose surname the child would take. He was just afraid that he would not have the chance to give the child a name.
Xie Feicui didn't know Han Jingyuan very well, so she could only persuade Su Ying and help Su Ying save some face. She didn't want the young couple to have an argument in the car later.
"Men all need to save face. If someone says outside that the child has the woman's surname, no man can accept it. Your elder brother Sheng is a live-in son-in-law. He was scared because of what happened to his son, so he took the initiative to change his son's surname."
Su Ying would never get angry about these little things.
She guessed that Han Jingyuan was not the one either. The man should still be sulking because of the disharmony of "marital duties" last night, right?
Han Xinxing is so thoughtful, "Mom, don't be angry. I will change my last name to Su, which is Su Xinxing. It rhymes with mom."
Gu Cancan followed her sister's steps and said, "Then I'll take my mother's last name, Su Cancan. It sounds easier to pronounce."
Su Ying was laughing to death. The train was leaving in three minutes, and the conductor was already urging the passengers who had not yet boarded the train or those who had gotten off the train to smoke and get some fresh air to hurry up and get on the train.
On the way back, Su Ying's superpowers had not recovered, but with Han Jingyuan there, he took care of the child whenever he wanted to eat, go to the toilet, or go out for some fresh air, so Su Ying basically slept all the way.
Gu Zhinan observed his brother-in-law and sister's expressions and found that they didn't talk much during the whole journey, and it really seemed like they were arguing.
He discussed with Su Ying privately, "Sister, don't get divorced again. I think my brother-in-law is very good. Even if you find another one, he may not be as good as you."
Su Ying: "Just shut up. If you really get divorced, just take Cancan with you and go with your brother."
Gu Zhinan was so sad that she almost cried, "You're not really going to divorce, are you? Then what should we do, sister, what should we do? Xinxing said that she and Cancan are with you, and asked me, Han Jingchen and my brother-in-law."
Su Ying: ...She thought she had hidden her subtle relationship with Han Jingyuan very well, but it turned out that the other children had already noticed it, and Han Xinxing had even arranged their respective affiliations.
It's only been over a month and you're already so dependent on me?
This was something Su Ying had not expected.
…
It took more than a day to get home by train, bus and ferry. It was already evening when he got home. Ding Chong had received a call from Qiao Lanlan early in the morning. His wife told him to go to the dock to pick up his godson and goddaughter.
Han Xinxing jumped onto Ding Chong's back, "Godfather, my uncle will be here in a few days, is your room ready?"
Ding Chong carried Han Xinxing on his back, holding Gu Cancan's hand, and said cheerfully: "It's ready. Take a look at it when we get home. If there's anything inappropriate, Goddad will change it."
Before leaving, Han Jingyuan gave the key to his house to Qiao Lanlan's family. Ding Chong knew they were coming back, so he had already prepared dinner in advance, including pumpkin porridge, shredded potatoes, braised pork with edamame, and eight steamed buns from the canteen.
Ding Chong also had dinner here.
Han Jingchen tasted each of them and said, "Uncle Ding, your cooking skills are quite good. Aunt Lan was afraid that you would starve to death, so she asked me to provide you with meals."
When Ding Chong heard that Qiao Lanlan had not forgotten him in Beijing, he felt inexplicably warm in his heart, "How could your godfather raise a child if he can't cook? A man should still know how to cook..."
Han Jingyuan angrily told Ding Chong to shut up, "Want to teach the child? Go home and give birth to the child yourself."
After dinner, Ding Chong went into the kitchen and asked Gu Zhinan, who was washing the pots and dishes, "Xiao Nan is the most considerate. Tell me, what happened to your brother-in-law?"
Gu Zhinan almost broke the blue and white bowl in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't guess what the adults are doing."
Han Jingchen hugged his shoulders, leaned against the cupboard, and sneered: "Oh, they are both narrow-minded. No matter what the matter is, they can just sit down and talk it out. But they refuse to say anything and pretend nothing happened. Xingxing can see it, but they still think they can hide it."
Han Xinxing disagreed with her brother, "I can see that, that's because I'm smart, stinky brother, we'd better be good these days and don't make mom angry."
In the room, Han Jingyuan helped to pack up the luggage he brought back, packed a few clothes, and said to Su Ying: "I have to go back to the barracks. I may not be able to come back in the next few days."
Su Ying understood his job, "Then go ahead. You didn't bring your toothbrush and toothpaste, I'll get them for you."
“They’re all in the dorm.”
"Did you bring your pajamas?"
"There are also some in the dormitory, with all the daily necessities."
Su Ying couldn't find any fault with it, and she sent Han Jingyuan to the door. He didn't even mention the teacup that he had secretly bought at a high price.
Su Ying was a little angry. Wasn't it the intention of buying a teacup and giving it to her to make her happy?
If you don't want to mention it, then don't mention it. You're so stingy.
She turned around and went back to her room. The next time Han Jingyuan came home, the person he was with might not be her. What a bastard, let him regret it.
…
Han Jingchen was in the kitchen, his eyes and ears always focused on the two adults in the main room. Han Jingyuan stopped at the kitchen door with his luggage, gave instructions to the children and left.
Han Jingchen put down his arms and ran out, "I'll see my second uncle off."
After leaving the courtyard, Han Jingyuan saw through Han Jingchen's hesitant expression in the moonlight, and said unhappily, "It's late at night, if you have something to say, say it. If not, go back."
Han Jingchen was in a rare good temper, even pleading, "Why do we have to quarrel? Didn't you buy a teacup? Why don't you take it out to appease Second Aunt? You said it yourself, once Second Aunt gets angry, we will have a hard time. If she gets angry and runs away, what will we do?"
What can I do? What else can I do?
Han Jingyuan said seriously: "Han Jingchen, you are a big boy now. You should know that no one can accompany anyone for a lifetime, and no one has the obligation to do so. You have to learn to accept it instead of complaining."
Han Jingchen noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion: "Second Uncle, you are carrying a luggage bag, which means you are running away from home. What's the big deal? You are an adult now, don't be so stingy, just come back tomorrow. Be a real man, you should bow your head and admit your mistakes first. It's settled now, I'm going back."
Han Jingyuan: ...
…
Su Ying kept waiting for the boot above her head to fall, and she was a little listless at work, and even Pang Zaiming noticed it.
Pang Zaiming asked with concern: "Xiao Su, is there something wrong at home? If so, please take a few days off to rest."
Xu Fenyue said positively: "Yes, take a rest if you are tired, I am here."
Su Ying looked at Pang Zaiming, asking with her eyes what had happened to Xu Fenyue during the days when she was away.
Pang Zaiming also used his eyes to indicate that he didn't know.
Su Ying looked at Xu Fenyue's reaction. The Su family and the Duan family probably had not yet told Su Congyan about Xu Fenyue pushing Su Xinyi, nor had they asked the local police station to cooperate in the arrest.
Why is that?
There must be a reason. Su Ying originally wanted to ask Han Jingyuan, but that guy wouldn't be back for the next few days. He should come to the cafeteria for lunch at noon. She would see if she could meet him then. If she did, she would ask him.
Before we even had time to eat in the canteen, people from above came to investigate. The two comrades who were conducting the investigation said that in the canteens of other battalions, it was discovered that family members of the helpers had stolen collective supplies, and that every canteen was now subject to surprise inspections.
"Comrade Su and Comrade Xu, please open the cabinet."
Su Yingqing was innocent and fearless, but Xu Fenyue's eyes were evasive and she even complained a few times, "You can't treat all the family members as rats just because there is a rat."
The two comrades remained unmoved. “Please open the cabinet door and do not interfere with our work.”
Xu Fenyue opened her locker very reluctantly. There were only a few of her personal belongings in it, and a pair of new shoes with the soles only half sewn. They were estimated to be size 41, which were for an adult man. But no one knew who she made them for.
Xu Fenyue explained: "These shoes are for Cong Yan. I made them during the two hours of my afternoon break, so I didn't miss any work."
Pang Zaiming said, "Su Congyan is 1.85 meters tall and wears size 43 shoes. Your shoes are only size 41. He can't wear them."
Su Ying laughed, "Master Pang, what truth are you talking about? Marriage is free, and even if Comrade Xu makes shoes for his lover, it is not shameful."
But don't let Su Congyan take the blame. Master Pang probably exposed her because he couldn't stand this.
Xu Fenyue blushed. She had prepared these shoes as a gift for her goddaughter's biological father, Tang Songping. As they were both unmarried, she was afraid of rumors and did not dare to tell anyone.
There was nothing in Xu Fenyue’s locker, so it was Su Ying’s locker’s turn next.
Before Su Ying asked for leave to return to Beijing, she gave her key to Master Pang, who placed it in the cupboard where the dishes were kept. As he took it out, he said, "What's so good about Xiao Su's cupboard? Her cupboard is empty..."
When I opened it, I found the cupboard was half full of millet, rice, flour, half a pumpkin and a piece of ham.
Su Ying: ...
Master Pang: ...
Two comrades who came to inspect: ...
The two comrades looked at the half-filled cabinet of supplies and asked Pang Zaiming with a sullen face, "What's going on?"
Pang Zaiming muttered to himself, "This is impossible?"
Su Ying had been away from South Island for more than ten days since she took leave for the National Day and went to Beijing to cooperate in the investigation of human traffickers. Today was her first day at work and she was busy all morning. She had no time to pack things into the cabinet.
Even if there was time, Pang Zaiming didn't believe that Su Ying, who was willing to risk being a bait and was locked up in a cave for three days in order to save her child, would be so blind as to steal things in the cafeteria at work.
Pang Zaiming turned his head and stared at Xu Fenyue, disgusted and angry, cursing with resentment: "The floating red flag of the First Battalion Canteen was ruined by a greedy idiot like you!"
Xu Fenyue took a step back in fear of Pang Zaiming's roar, "You, you, you, this is not my cabinet, why do you suspect that I stole it?"
"Who else could it be if not you? Could it be that I, the squad leader of the kitchen squad, stole it?"
"How is that impossible? Why is that impossible? You are the monitor and you are in charge of the kitchen. You are the biggest suspect."
Su Ying couldn't listen any longer and said, "Actually, everyone knows that the things in this half cabinet were stolen by Xu Fenyue and hidden in my cabinet. During the ten days I was away, the guys in the kitchen would never touch my cabinet, so it's safer to put them in my cabinet."
"Because my vacation hasn't started yet, Xu Fenyue didn't expect me to come back today, so she didn't have time to move the things in the cabinet. No wonder she was so enthusiastic today and asked me to leave work early. She was afraid that I would open the cabinet."
Master Pang testified: "Yes, Xu Fenyue was unusually kind and enthusiastic towards Comrade Xiao Su today. I asked Xiao Su to go home for a vacation, and Comrade Xu actually agreed."
The two inspectors said, "We can search where Xu Fenyue lives to see if we find anything."
Xu Fenyue is currently living in Su Congyan's home. If supplies from the first battalion canteen are found in Su Congyan's home, Su Congyan will not be able to face his comrades in the future.
Su Ying also thought of this and said to the two comrades, "Xu Fenyue is Su Congyan's nanny, not a family member. Su Congyan and I are not on good terms, but from my personal point of view, Deputy Battalion Commander Su definitely didn't know that Xu Fenyue stole things."
"Deputy Battalion Commander Su has been working hard on the front lines. I think we should not search his house."
The two comrades looked conflicted.
The person involved, Xu Fenyue, became complacent and asked them to search instead. "No, to prove my innocence, you go ahead and search, but I have made this clear. If you can't find anything, all of you present must apologize to me and hold a public apology!"
Pang Zaiming was confused by Xu Fenyue's attitude. Xu Fenyue was so confident that there were no stolen supplies hidden in her home. Did she sell them?
Su Ying chuckled, "There's no need to search Su Congyan's house. Xu Fenyue stole some things and gave them to others as subsidies. As for who it was, Xu Fenyue has not been in South Island for long and doesn't know many people. You two comrades can start by checking the pair of shoes in her closet."
Xu Fenyue panicked. She had indeed stolen the things, but she couldn't let anyone know who the subsidy was given to.
Her face turned red and white, and she finally admitted that she had taken the things and hidden them in Su Ying's cabinet without having time to move them.
"This is really the first time I've taken it. I haven't had it before. Believe me."
No one would believe her. Xu Fenyue was taken away for investigation because she was not a legitimate family member. The army decided to clear out all the family members of the helpers in the canteens of each camp, leaving no one behind.
Pang Zaiming felt sorry for Su Ying. She was the one who turned down this job from Director Rao, and she lost it after only working there for a month. She wouldn't blame Han Jingyuan for this, right?
"Xiao Su, you see this is a decision made by the higher-ups. You've done a pretty good job. You've helped me a lot in the past month you've been working here."
Su Ying was fine. The job in the canteen was supposed to be a position vacated to take care of family members. But there were people like Xu Fenyue who were so short-sighted as to steal supplies. If anything went wrong, all of them would be fired.
She understood, and she wasn't in the mood to go to work, so she just went home and rested.
"It's okay. I can take my time to find a job. Han Jingyuan's allowance is enough to support the family. I'm not in a hurry."
Pang Zaiming was relieved of his psychological burden and became enthusiastic. "I have taken the second-stage prescription you prescribed before returning to Beijing. Can you help me feel my pulse again and see if I should change the prescription?"
Su Ying felt Pang Zaiming's pulse and asked, "How is the effect of the second phase?"
"It's not as effective as the first stage." Pang Zaiming asked, "How about I take the medicine according to the first prescription?"
Su Ying shook her head and said, "The first prescription is too strong. This second prescription is for warming and nourishing. You can stop taking the medicine after taking it for another ten days or half a month. You have to accept your fate at your age. It's unrealistic for you to go back to the level of three times a night."
The young soldier who was carrying potatoes into the warehouse tripped over his right leg and fell to the concrete floor due to unstable center of gravity. The young soldier carrying potatoes behind him was also dragged down, and the potatoes rolled all over the floor. The two of them looked at the cook squad leader who came and grinned foolishly.
Pang Zaiming's face turned red, and he kicked the two young soldiers out one by one, "What are you laughing at? You don't have wives, so get out of here and go pick up potatoes."
…
Su Ying went home without having lunch in the cafeteria. Not long after she left, Han Jingyuan went to the cafeteria.
Several young soldiers saw him and said enthusiastically, "Captain Han, please take my place."
Han Jingyuan glanced towards the food window and didn't see Su Ying. Well, Su Ying knew what she looked like and never went to the window to get food.
But why is Xu Fenyue not here today?
Han Jingyuan shook his head at the young soldier and stood at the end of the line. When it was his turn, Lao Pang took the initiative to tell Han Jingyuan about the latest arrangements for the canteens in each camp, and all the family members were persuaded to go back.
"Your comrade Xiao Su is generous and doesn't need to be comforted. He went home on his own."
Han Jingyuan felt disappointed. He had said that he would not go home for the next few days. Now Su Ying was not working in the cafeteria, so he no longer had the chance to ask her in person.
Han Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and plucked a blooming rose from the rose bush nearby, plucking it petal by petal, silently reciting in his mind: odd number, even number...
Seeing Han Jingyuan in a daze while picking flower petals, Lao Pang nudged him with his elbow. Han Jingyuan memorized the odd and even numbers, stopped, raised his eyes and asked, "Why did you nudged me?"
Pang Zaiming raised his eyebrows, smiled teasingly, and said with disbelief, "You do it three or four times a night?"
"What?" Han Jingyuan was confused.
Pang Zaiming: "Pretend, keep pretending, you and your wife, your body, your physical strength, your wife can do it three times a night, it's fake, right?"
Han Jingyuan couldn't hold it in any longer, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Lao Pang, do you have any shame? What else did you talk about with my wife?"
Pang Zaiming: "Speaking of face, you and I combined are not as thick-skinned as your wife. She can even give you medical advice without blushing or getting embarrassed. She is not embarrassed, so why should you be embarrassed?"
This is the truth. Su Ying has this ability. When others feel embarrassed and ashamed, they will not feel embarrassed when they see her calm and nonchalant attitude.
Once interrupted, he no longer remembered whether he had counted an odd or even number.
Pang Zaiming asked unwillingly, "Tell me, tell me, three or four, odd or even?"
Han Jingyuan threw away the half-picked rose, picked another one, and said unhappily, "You're crazy, you disturbed me while I was picking flowers."
"What's so good about picking flowers..."
"Shut up, or you'll never know whether it's single or double."
Pang Zaiming suppressed his temper and watched Han Jingyuan pick the bright red rose in his hand petal by petal under the rose bush in the backyard of the cafeteria.
He pressed, "Can you tell me now?"
When the last petal fell to the ground, the man, who had originally clenched his jaw, now had a relaxed look on his face and a smile on his lips.
"Double, that's a good sign."
Double? Pang Zaiming touched the back of his head. Four times that night? Did Han Jingyuan have such good stamina?
Looking at the man striding away, his straight back and powerful steps are indeed worthy of showing off.
Pang Zaiming rubbed his old waist and said, "Forty points is the watershed. It's the same when you get older. Young people don't know how to be restrained. They will suffer when they get old. They still have to rely on his wife's prescription to make up for it. What are you bragging about?"
…
Su Ying lost her job and couldn't tell Han Jingyuan about it. She felt it was an overreaction to go to the military camp to find him for such a small matter.
In the evening, when the four children got out of school, Su Ying told them the reasons and consequences of losing her job.
"If you don't have it, then don't have it." Han Jingchen said flatteringly, "Second uncle can support the family, and I cook. I will definitely not mind you eating for free without working."
Su Ying was amused. "Well, since you said so, I'll take a break and talk later."
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Han Jingchen said happily, "I'll order some food for you today."
"I bought enough food for two days this afternoon. You can cook it as you like."
With the help of his two younger sisters, Han Jingchen quickly cooked four dishes and added a pot of vegetable noodles.
Han Xinxing jumped up and down to go out, "I'll ask my godfather to come over for dinner."
"Wait a moment."
Gu Zhinan put a little of each dish into the lunch box, and then put a large bowl of noodles in it. He gave the lunch box to Xingxing, and held the large bowl of noodles in his hand and said, "Let's send it over."
"Okay." Han Xinxing happily followed Gu Zhinan.
Gu Cancan was puzzled, "Why don't you ask godfather to come over to eat."
Han Jingchen told Gu Cancan behind Su Ying's back, "Second Uncle is not at home, Aunt Lan is not at home either, we have to avoid suspicion."
Su Ying heard this and really wanted to avoid suspicion. These kids saw the subtle discord between her and Han Jingyuan and became a little overly nervous. They were extremely sensible, and even Han Jingchen temporarily suppressed his thorns.
Two days later, Han Jingyuan still hadn't returned. She called Beijing, but Su Xinyi hadn't woken up yet.
Originally, Su Ying felt that the possibility of her original body waking up in her original body or in Su Xinyi's body was 50-50. Now, the longer it drags on, the greater the uncertainty.
Qiao Lanlan didn't come back, and Han Jingyuan was very busy in the military camp, so she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
It happened that Gu Chengfeng called and asked that he would deliver this month's child support in the evening and asked Gu Zhinan to wait for him at the gate of the staff quarters.
Su Ying didn't have classes to attend now, so she had nothing to do. She said, "Then I'll go get it from you, so you don't have to make a trip."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Chengfeng was obviously stunned. Ever since they agreed to separate, Yingmei had deliberately avoided him. This was the first time she took the initiative to propose a meeting.
Did she suffer injustice during her trip to Beijing?
Gu Chengfeng felt anxious, looked at his watch and said, "I have an hour between six and seven in the evening."
"Okay, I'll be there at six."
This time was exactly the time for dinner, but it was not a big problem. There was a state-owned restaurant near the base, and she could eat there. So she made an appointment with Gu Chengfeng to meet at the state-owned restaurant.
Su Ying waited for the children to finish school and told them that she was going to the base, asking them to eat by themselves and not to wait for her.
After Su Ying left, Han Jingchen put down the spatula, ran all the way to the military camp, found the young soldier on guard, bent down and panted, and said he was looking for his second uncle.
The young soldier saw the child running so fast that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and thought that something had happened in Captain Han's family, so he also ran to inform Han Jingyuan.
A moment later, Han Jingyuan rushed out at the speed of an 800-meter sprint, picked up Han Jingchen who was lying on the ground, and said incoherently, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Second Aunt, she..."
"What's wrong with her?"
"She went to see Cancan's father."
What is meant to come will come. The probability is clearly 50%, and it is clearly an even number, so why doesn't the scale of fate lean towards him?
From childhood to adulthood, he has never been the lucky one, and fate has never favored him.
Han Jingyuan could no longer feel his own heartbeat. His face was as pale as paper. He took several steps back and was supported by the young guard behind him.
Han Jingchen looked at his second uncle with pity. He was such a grown-up, but he still wanted to run away from home and didn't come home for several days. Did he think his second aunt would give in?
He said angrily: "Now you know you are scared, go and chase him."
…
Gu Chengfeng was a punctual person. He arrived at the door of the state-owned restaurant on time at six o'clock. After waiting for a few minutes, he did not see Su Ying. He subconsciously looked around and found that Su Ying had already had dinner in the state-owned restaurant.
He immediately pushed the door and walked in. Su Ying was sitting at a table alone. She ordered four dishes and a soup. She held a bowl of rice with braised pork. Her eyes were moist and she took a big mouthful of rice with red eyes and hatred.
As he ate, tears welled up in his eyes.
What made her so aggrieved that she had to vent her grievances by eating and drinking to her heart's content?
Gu Chengfeng was in a mess, pretending to be calm and greeting, "Sister Ying..."
Su Ying looked up and saw that it was Gu Chengfeng, who was tall, wearing black-framed glasses, handsome, gentle, and well-mannered. He immediately saw her grievance and at this moment she didn't even dare to sit down and was very cautious.
He has much more conscience than that bastard Han Jingyuan.
The original body had a pretty good eye for men.
Su Ying chewed the braised pork and rice and said vaguely, "You are here, sit down and eat."
The two of them ate dinner in silence. Su Ying finished most of the food, but Gu Chengfeng didn't eat much.
But the more Gu Chengfeng watched, the more frightened he became. Yingmei didn't eat coriander or ginger. She would pick out any shredded ginger in the dishes, especially bitter gourd, which she would not eat at all. If she accidentally put some in her mouth, she would definitely spit it out.
But today, Yingmei ate half a plate of bitter melon and also ate the ginger in the braised pork, as if these taboos were specifically for him to see.
Gu Chengfeng suppressed his wild thoughts and asked, "Yingmei, what's wrong with you? What made you angry? If you want, you can tell me."
The man's concern was not fake, but unfortunately it was not for her.
For the sake of her original body, Su Ying had to do something. No matter which body the original body woke up in, she would let Gu Chengfeng know that the one who wanted to divorce him was the other one, not the original Su Ying who loved him deeply.
Su Ying said: "Gu Chengfeng, I'm so sad."
"Everything will pass, don't worry, just take your time."
"That's right. I've spent all my living expenses for this month ahead of time. Now I have no money to eat. I have four children at home. What do you think I should do?"
Gu Chengfeng: ...
"Then you ordered this table. If I don't come, how will you pay the bill?"
Su Ying: ... "Are you concerned about the money for today's meal?"
Gu Chengfeng felt terrible. This was not Yingmei's character. Yingmei was very prudent and would never retort in such a stubborn way or act like a spoiled child in disguise.
He asked timidly: "What do you want?"
"So, can you give me the child support for next month in advance? I can give you a receipt."
Gu Chengfeng was confused. Such a big fuss was made just to get fifty more yuan. It was such a small matter, and he could just tell Zhinan about it. As for going to the state-owned restaurant and filling the whole table with dishes that were forbidden to her?
Gu Chengfeng had just received his salary today, and he didn't have time to count it. "It's all here, take it first. If it's not enough, I'll withdraw it from my passbook and give it to you."
Su Ying sighed inwardly. Even though she could clearly see that there was something wrong with her, she still met all her requests without reservation.
It turns out that all the good men are from other families. In comparison, Su Ying really wanted to beat to death Han Jingyuan, who carried a luggage bag and stayed in the military camp for several days without going home.
Bai had a pretty face, but Han Jingyuan didn't notice her entanglement and helplessness at all.
…
Su Ying asked the waiter for paper and pen, and wrote a receipt to Gu Chengfeng for the child support for next month in advance. She had never written such a receipt before and was afraid of leaving handwriting.
If Han Jingyuan had seen the original handwriting, he would have been able to notice the difference from the remaining pen strokes on the letter paper last time.
Gu Chengfeng took her receipt, and just as Su Ying had expected, his hands were shaking like a sieve.
Su Ying can actually imitate the original body's handwriting, including the last time when she wrote a prescription for Pang Zaiming, which was in the original body's handwriting, but she was unwilling to imitate it today.
Including the letter to Han Jingyuan that had been burned, it was written in her own handwriting.
Su Ying stood up and said, "Gu Chengfeng, you are a good person, and you will be rewarded."
Gu Chengfeng's mind went blank and he couldn't speak clearly, "Yingmei, you..."
"By the way, you pay for this table today. I'm leaving now. Bye."
It was not excessive for her to rescue her original body and return it to Gu Chengfeng and have a meal with him.
…
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the state-owned hotel, Han Jingyuan stood on the side of the road with a deathly pale face, just staring at Su Ying.
Su Ying: ...
I haven't even had time to put the child support in my pocket, why is Han Jingyuan here?
She just had dinner with Gu Chengfeng. Judging from the color of Han Jingyuan's aura, why did it feel so weird, as if he was visiting his own grave?
Su Ying walked over and explained, "I'm here to get child support from Gu Chengfeng. If you come half an hour earlier, we can have dinner together. By the way, have you had dinner yet?"
Han Jingyuan shook his head mechanically, then lowered his eyes.
"Then go home. There should be food at home."
"Okay." Han Jingyuan still had the aura of someone visiting a grave.
After walking a few steps, Gu Chengfeng chased out from behind, "Sister Ying..."
Su Ying turned around and saw Gu Chengfeng's anxious and pale face. When she was about to ask him what was wrong, Han Jingyuan, who had been lifeless behind him as if he was visiting a grave, suddenly went crazy and kicked Gu Chengfeng a few steps away.
"Why are you in such a hurry? She is still my wife. Do you have morals that match your knowledge?"
Su Ying: ...
Gu Chengfeng: ...
Don’t be fooled by Gu Chengfeng’s gentle appearance. He is 1.87 meters tall and has trained hard. He became famous immediately.
"Don't tell me you deserve it. She doesn't even have money to eat tonight, so she came to me to borrow money. How could you let her have no money to eat? What do you eat?"
Han Jingyuan: ...
Su Ying: ...
Han Jingyuan thought, the family's passbooks were given to her, and when she came back from Beijing, her grandfather gave Su Ying a small treasury, so, she was just looking for an excuse to come and see Gu Chengfeng, right?
Gu Chengfeng thought, no matter whether she was Yingmei or not, she didn’t even have money for food, and this bastard Han Jingyuan was not worthy of her.
Su Ying thought that her ex-husband and her current husband had a fight in the street. This was enough gossip for the families in the base’s family compound and the military family compound. They had been gossiping for two years.
Two impulsive and irrational men started fighting again over a disagreement. There was no rules at all, just punches and kicks. However, they had one thing in common: they were like enemies and were both extremely ruthless.
No matter how Su Ying persuaded them, no one was willing to stop.
More and more people came to watch the fun. Su Ying was so angry. Damn, she had to use violence before she knew who was the boss in the family.
She used her special power, rushed between the two men, separated them, and threw each of them a few steps away.
"Aren't you ashamed to fight for a woman in the street? I'm so strong, do I need you to fight me? Go home now."
Okay, now I have to add one more thing, the fierce ex-wife and current boyfriend were so frightened by the two 1.80-meter-tall men that they were speechless.
…
Han Jingyuan had a wound on his face, and Gu Chengfeng wasn't much better. Su Ying didn't speak to Han Jingyuan, this bastard, the entire way.
When they arrived at the door of their house, four children came out to greet them with cheers, especially Han Jingchen, who shouted particularly loudly, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Jingshi called and said that Aunt Xinyi has woken up, and asked me to tell you."
Su Ying's legs went weak and she leaned against the wall. Her original body woke up and used Su Xinyi's body.
Han Jingyuan followed Su Ying into the house in silence, and went to the bathroom in the backyard without saying a word. He took off his clothes, which were dirty and wrinkled from the fight, one by one, and let the cold water wash over his head.
He leaned his arms against the wall of the bathroom, buried his head in his arms, and choked to the sound of running water.
Fate finally favored him.
The author has something to say:
Han Jingyuan: My wife is always at the top of the family food chain...
