Feng Juan's scallion egg pancakes are generous with their ingredients. She uses up both eggs at once, and the golden pancakes are dotted with emerald green scallions. Spreading a little Northeastern soybean paste on them makes the soft texture, combined with the rich aroma of egg and soybean paste, incredibly delicious.
Yun Qiao took a bite and was almost intoxicated by the fragrance.
She rarely ate pancakes with such a high egg content. She gave Feng Juan a thumbs-up and said, "Mom, it's delicious."
Feng Juan smiled and said, "Eat more after a while. Mom will make it for you tomorrow."
Although her daughter was so supportive of the egg pancakes she made, Feng Juan felt a little uncomfortable.
It was just an omelet, but she ate it with such relish, which showed that she had never eaten any nutritious food before.
The food for the educated youth was still too bad.
After dinner, Feng Juan took the initiative to wash the dishes. Yun Qiao reached out to help, but was gently pushed away by her: "This is not a job for children. Go play, I'll do it."
Even though Feng Juan said so, Yun Qiao felt embarrassed to do nothing with his hands, so he took a rag and helped wipe the table.
"Mom, I'll be eighteen after the New Year, so I can't be considered a child anymore."
"In my heart, no matter how old you are, you are still a child." Feng Juan answered with a smile while washing dishes.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Feng Juan took Yun Qiao's hand and said, "Yun Qiao, please accompany me for a walk around. It was too late yesterday and I didn't have a good look at the place where you live."
Yun Qiaoxin agreed: "Okay."
Yun Qiao was a qualified "tour guide". After a tour, Feng Juan had a general understanding of the fifth company's camp.
The two of them had just arrived at the clinic when Qin Zheng drove over with his men not long after.
Not only did Qin Zheng bring Aunt Feng and Yuanyuan here, but He Tingjun also took a day off and came along.
He introduced himself to Feng Juan: "Hello, Auntie, my name is He Tingjun."
At this point, He Tingjun subconsciously glanced at Yun Qiao, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Yes, Qin Ge's comrade-in-arms."
Feng Juan's mind was all on Yun Qiao, and she didn't notice He Tingjun's look. She smiled and replied, "Hello, Comrade Tingjun."
As soon as Yuanyuan arrived, she ran to Yunqiao and pulled out an aluminum lunch box from her bulging arms like she was presenting a treasure. She handed it to Yunqiao, "Sister, this is for you."
Yun Qiao asked, "What is this?"
"It's a chicken leg." Yuanyuan answered loudly, "For my sister to eat."
Qin Zheng explained, "The army cafeteria had a limited supply of braised chicken legs this morning, and there was only one left when we got there. Yuanyuan couldn't bear to eat it and said she wanted to give it to her sister."
The lunch box was hidden by Yuanyuan under her cotton-padded jacket and wrapped tightly. It felt warm in her hand, and Yun Qiao's heart was softened by her heartwarming gesture.
She raised her hand and touched Yuanyuan's little head, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan is so thoughtful. Thank you Yuanyuan."
Yuanyuan's eyes curved into small crescents with joy: "You're welcome, sister is beautiful, Yuanyuan likes sister."
Yuanyuan spoke without restraint as a child, and everyone was amused by her frank words.
Yun Qiao put the lunch box in the bedroom. When he came out, he heard Qin Zheng say, "Yun Qiao, can you take a day off today? The matter is settled, and I think I should go to Sanheying and tell your uncle and aunt."
"Of course, of course." Feng Juan said immediately, "And all these years, it's the Ye family who has taken care of Yun Qiao and raised her. It's only logical that we should go visit them and thank them for raising Yun Qiao."
Qin Zheng hummed, "I thought so too. The gifts are ready and they are in the car."
The two turned to look at Yun Qiao, who nodded and said, "You can ask for leave. I haven't used my rest days this month yet. Just tell Director Jiang."
"I'll go with you." Feng Juan said.
"Mom, that's okay." Yun Qiao shook her head gently, pointed to a place not far away, and said, "Director Jiang's office is over there, just a few steps away. I can go there by myself."
Feng Juan saw that it was indeed not far away, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then go and ask for leave. We will wait for you here."
Yun Qiao agreed: "I'll come quickly."
It was the regular rest day of each month, and Jiang Ling had no intention of making things difficult for anyone, so Yun Qiao agreed as soon as he asked.
It took Yun Qiao less than an hour from the time he walked into Jiang Ling's office to the time he came out.
"Okay, I've asked for leave, we can go now." Yun Qiao jogged over, but found that Qin Zheng and Feng Juan had unhappy expressions on their faces.
The two of them were talking at first, but when Yun Qiao came over, they both shut up tacitly.
Yun Qiao looked at them both strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing." Feng Juan hesitantly looked away and changed the subject: "It's getting late, let's go to your uncle and aunt."
