Dong Dingbang's head was buzzing with the noise, so he hid away under the pretext of buying grapes.
Just as I reached the entrance of the alley, I ran into He Tingjun who was coming back from outside. Following behind him was a young military officer who looked quite familiar. I think his surname was Gu?
When they met, Dong Dingbang smiled unnaturally and said hello: "You're back."
He Tingjun nodded: "Captain Dong is going out?"
He Tingjun was just saying it casually, but people with guilty consciences always tend to overthink things. Dong Dingbang wondered if He Tingjun had noticed that there was a quarrel in their family, so he asked this question?
He smiled awkwardly and explained, "Oh, yes, I'm going out to buy something."
Neither of them stopped while talking. After exchanging a few words, they passed each other.
He Tingjun continued walking towards the No. 7 courtyard. Gu Cheng looked back curiously, then quickly followed He Tingjun's steps and whispered, "Did Captain Dong have a fight with his wife at home? I saw a bloody scratch on his neck. It must have been fresh, and it's still bleeding."
He Tingjun is not blind, of course he saw it, but sometimes, curiosity doesn't need to be too much.
He glanced at Gu Cheng and warned him, "Don't ask too much about other people's family affairs."
Gu Cheng chuckled twice: "I'm just curious."
"I'm holding back my curiosity."
He Tingjun opened the door and walked into the house.
Yun Qiao was squatting at the door of the main room washing shepherd's purse. When he saw He Tingjun coming back with his men, he quickly stood up.
He Tingjun introduced Yun Qiao, "This is the deputy company commander of our first battalion, Gu Cheng."
It turns out that he is Gu Cheng who fell in love with Han Rou. She is really good-looking.
Yun Qiao nodded and greeted Gu Cheng: "Hello, Comrade Gu."
Gu Cheng quickly stood at attention and returned the greeting: "Hello, sister-in-law."
He Tingjun entered the room, and Yun Qiao politely invited him: "Comrade Gu, I'm making shepherd's purse dumplings for lunch. They'll be ready in a while. Come eat with me at home."
Gu Cheng waved his hand: "No, sister-in-law, I just came to borrow something from Captain He. I have something else to do later."
"Then go ahead and do your thing." Gu Cheng refused, and Yun Qiao didn't force him.
He Tingjun took out an air pump from the house, handed it to Gu Cheng, and said, "The front tire is almost inflated. Pump it up yourself and you can push it away after that."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
After Gu Cheng pushed the bicycle away, He Tingjun closed the yard door and returned to the house.
Yun Qiao was about to chop the stuffing with the vegetable soup. He Tingjun washed his hands and naturally took the vegetable soup from Yun Qiao: "Let me do it."
"good."
Yun Qiao untied her apron, took a step back and gave him her seat.
She was also busy, kneading the dough again. The dough for making dumplings needs to be kneaded many times, so that the dough is more ductile and the final rolled out skin will be chewy and soft.
"Gu Cheng is the gay man who has a crush on Han Rou, right?" Yun Qiao asked as he kneaded the dough. "Didn't he go to a social gathering? Why did he come to borrow your car?"
