Chapter 60 Do I still have a chance?
In the evening, He Tingyue came on time to pick up Jiang Yu to go home for dinner.
When Jiang Yu arrived, the meal was ready.
Just as He Feiyan said, He Tingyue is a good cook. Except for the cold dish, all the dishes on the table were made by him.
He Feiyan whispered to Jiang Yu secretly: "I've told you, my brother is very good, you don't feel sorry for him."
Jiang Yu said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Hey, my brother has been single for so many years. If you don't like him, he's too miserable." He Feiyan pretended to sigh.
Jiang Yu ignored her and focused on the food.
Three adults, two half-grown children, a total of six dishes and one soup.
There are chicken, fish, and braised pork.
More than half of the dishes are meat.
"Do you usually eat like this?"
The food is too good.
He Feiyan shook her head, "How can that be possible? Even if we have money, we don't have tickets."
He Tingyue was the only one who made money in the family, and the tickets were all rationed by the factory. Their family was already well off, and they could eat several meals of meat a month.
But most of the time, He Tingyue had no time to cook, and he got food from the canteen.
The food in the canteen was not only not oily, but also very unpalatable.
"My brother used to go hunting in the mountains with his friends, and there was more meat at home at that time."
Later, when He Tingyue's friend got into trouble, he stopped going up the mountain.
Jiang Yu listened with relish, "How do you hunt? Do you use a hunting rifle?"
She remembered that there were also hunters in Nanhe Village, and there was always a hunting rifle at home.
"You can use a gun or a crossbow." He Tingyue replied, and added a piece of braised pork with fat and lean meat.
At this time, people's stomachs are empty, so it is impossible not to eat meat.
Seeing that there are two half-grown children in his family, Jiang Yu basically doesn't eat meat, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him.
"We also have mountains over there. I have picked pheasants in the mountains before."
He Feiyan exclaimed: "Really? Sister Jiang Yu, you are so lucky. Take us around later."
"Okay, but I can't hunt, but there are many wild fruits and vegetables there. I picked chestnuts and persimmon trees. If it's spring, there are bamboo shoots." The
fresh spring bamboo shoots picked and stewed with meat are fresh and tender.
But at home, Jiang Yu can't eat a few pieces of meat all year round.
Meat belongs exclusively to Jiang Hao, and girls are not allowed to touch it.
After dinner, He Tingyue offered to take her home.
It was dark outside, so Jiang Yu didn't refuse.
But she was a little full from eating, and Jiang Yu wanted to take a walk outside.
He Tingyue pushed her bicycle and walked all the way downstairs.
"Thank you for taking me home. I'll go upstairs first. Be careful when you go back."
He Tingyue looked at her and handed her the flashlight.
"You take it."
Jiang Yu held the flashlight that still retained the warmth of his palm, and tightened her fingers a little.
"Then what are you going to do?"
He Tingyue said, "It's okay, you go up first."
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the flashlight back to him.
"Or you can take me upstairs."
He Tingyue lowered his eyes and glanced, then nodded.
"Let's go."
The dark and narrow staircase was only filled with the sound of their footsteps and their barely perceptible breathing.
When they reached the door, it was time to say goodbye again.
Jiang Yu took out the key to open the door. In a trance, she heard the man behind her ask.
"Jiang Yu."
"Huh?" She turned around subconsciously.
"Do I still have a chance?"
The two were very close, so close that Jiang Yu could almost feel his hot body temperature.
She was dazed and gave an answer without thinking. Only after the man left did she realize what she had said.
"Let's wait and see."
Yes is yes, no is no, let's wait and see what the answer is.
Jiang Yu leaned against the door, the cool night air blew away the heat on her face.
She suddenly ran to the window, tiptoed to look down, and just happened to see the man riding a bicycle away.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and unconsciously raised the corners of her lips.
"Everyone has left, but you're still watching."
Yao Xiangling walked out of the house wearing a coat.
Jiang Yu was startled, "Aunt, you haven't slept yet."
"How can I sleep if you haven't come home?" Yao Xiangling said angrily.
Even though she knew that He Tingyue was a gentleman and would not do anything out of line, she was still worried about him.
...
At the same time, several people in the He family couldn't sleep after dinner.
He Feiyan was waiting for He Tingyue to come back, to see if the two had made any progress.
He Zhengdong and He Lilan, on the other hand, had something on their minds.
They didn't like Jiang Yu, but rather felt a sense of crisis.
Unlike He Feiyan, they were adopted children and were already sensible when they came to the He family.
Their father died, their mother passed away, and their grandparents and their eldest uncle abused them.
Later, He Tingyue took their father's suicide note, adopted him, and changed their surnames according to their father's wishes.
Those days of abuse were deeply engraved in their memories, as if they were engraved in their bones and could not be erased.
They were afraid that their new sister-in-law would dislike them and send them away again.
"Brother, will my eldest brother abandon us?"
He Zhengdong pursed his lips, "I don't know, I don't think so."
He Lilan murmured, "What if sister-in-law doesn't like us?"
He Zhengdong said, "Then please her, we should be good, eat less, and do more work. Don't worry, I will protect you."
He Lilan pouted, "We did this in our hometown, and grandpa and grandma would still beat us."
"Don't say it, big brother is back."
He heard the footsteps of He Tingyue.
He Feiyan also heard it and ran out at the first time.
"Big brother, how is it?"
"What do you mean by how is it."
He Feiyan tilted her head to look at him, "You and sister Jiang Yu! Did sister Jiang Yu agree to be with you?"
He Tingyue: "No."
He Feiyan's face suddenly fell, and she didn't grasp such a good opportunity.
"What's wrong with you?"
He Tingyue ignored her, actually he was in a good mood.
Jiang Yu didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.
In fact, judging from her attitude, he felt that he was not without a chance.
"Don't mind my business, go to sleep." He Tingyue pushed her head.
He Feiyan stretched out her hand to him, "I'll treat her to a movie some other day, give her money."
If it were in the past, she would definitely not dare to ask him for money so confidently.
He Tingyue took out a big reunion ticket without thinking, and handed it over generously, and took out a meat ticket.
"After the movie, let's go to the state-owned hotel for dinner."
He Feiyan began to envy him, putting women before girls.
"I know."
But the next day, she ran to ask Jiang Yu if she was free.
But she said, "Maybe not tomorrow, I have a blind date with Xie Feifei's cousin."
He Feiyan: "!!!"
She widened her eyes: "Xie Feifei's cousin is back?"
"Yes, he has already started a blind date." Jiang Yu nodded.
He Feiyan was stunned, "Isn't he only dating you?"
"No, I think I'm the third one." Jiang Yu counted on his fingers.
