Zhang Qingdong followed closely behind.
"Brother, can you please not walk so fast?"
Chen Jianguo said: "Don't bother me, I have something urgent to do."
"Brother, listen to me. Secretary Zhang just came to inform me that there will be a meeting at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening to discuss the issue of improving the quality of military families."
Chen Jianguo paused, a trace of annoyance flashing across his face.
"knew."
He strode forward again, in a hurry and looked furious.
Xu Zhaodi went home before Chen Jianguo. She had just walked back and forth for a while and her feet were swollen again.
Chen Jianguo pushed the door open and came in. As soon as he came back, he wanted to criticize Xu Zhaodi harshly, but when he saw her applying a towel to the back of her feet, the scene of her fighting wits and courage with the human traffickers yesterday came to his mind.
In an instant, the harsh words that I wanted to say on the way here were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them.
When she raised her eyes, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"You're back? I just came back from a trip this morning and didn't have time to cook."
He didn't know why, but when he heard her calm tone, the anger in his heart disappeared by half.
He turned his head away, his voice a little cold.
"Oh, I'm back to get my lunch box. We'll have lunch in the cafeteria these days.
Don't move, wait until I come back to give you a foot massage, I'll go get some food first."
Chen Jianguo took the lunch box and went out. As soon as he left the house, he wanted to slap himself.
In the end he was soft-hearted. Now that he has calmed down, he feels that he was too impulsive.
She is a woman and she has made changes. He needs to give her some patience and some time.
When going downstairs, Jiang Dahai bumped into Chen Jianguo and said with a smile: "Hey, our Captain Chen is so fast today. What news did you hear?"
Chen Jianguo was in a bad mood, and he knew that Jiang Dahai was waiting to make fun of him next.
"Get lost. I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense."
Chen Jianguo left in a hurry again. Jiang Dahai turned around and looked at Chen Jianguo's angry back with a smile.
This kid has never been in a good mood since he brought his wife to the team.
I heard that her wife was reported by someone the other day. I don’t know who is so wicked. We are all from the same compound and we know each other every day. Why would he do such a thing as stabbing someone in the back?
What a mean person!
If this happened to me, I would be angry.
Jiang Dahai didn't think much about it and walked into the family building humming a military song.
Zhang Qingdong came back from lunch and saw Jiang Wan looked unhappy. He said, "Eat quickly. I'll take you to the train station this afternoon."
Jiang Wan stood up angrily and said, “I won’t leave.
I need to call my dad.”
Zhang Qingdong knew that Jiang Wanbo was having a childish temper. This girl would only respond to soft words and not hard ones, so he said patiently, "Can you please stop making trouble?
The conditions here are tough, you can’t stand it.”
"Don't underestimate me, I'm already 15 years old, and I've already arranged my work here.
I need to call my dad myself, I have something to tell him.
If you don't let me call my dad, I won't eat."
When Jiang Wan got stubborn, Zhang Qingdong had no choice, but Uncle and Aunt Jiang would not let her travel thousands of kilometers to come here alone.
Zhang Qingdong sighed and said, "Okay then, I'll take you to make the call first."
Jiang Wan encountered a dangerous situation yesterday, and he hadn't figured out how to tell Uncle Jiang yet, so he just told him now and told him that he would let Jiang Wan take the train back home in the evening and asked him to arrange someone to pick her up later.
The two came to the office, and Jiang Wan called home.
On Chen Jianguo's side, he brought back two meals from the cafeteria.
The lunch boxes were placed on the table. In Xu Zhaodi's box there was one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, one portion of braised pork and one portion of stir-fried bean sprouts and shredded potatoes. In Chen Jianguo's lunch box there were two vegetable dishes, stir-fried cabbage and shredded potatoes.
Xu Zhaodi watched, silently put the braised pork from her lunch box into his lunch box, and said, "I don't like eating meat, you eat more."
Chen Jianguo definitely wouldn’t believe this. Who doesn’t like eating meat?
He put the meat into her bowl again.
"Your ankle is injured, so eat more. I don't like it either."
Xu Zhaodi thought it was troublesome to pick up the food from others, so she simply lowered her head and ate slowly by herself.
Chen Jianguo looked up at Xu Zhaodi from time to time, wanting to ask her some questions, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The two finished their meal in silence, and Chen Jianguo applied a foot massage to Xu Zhaodi.
After finishing these things, Xu Zhaodi returned to her room, closed the door, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling above her head.
My heart is in a mess and I can't be happy at all.
Chen Jianguo was also in a depressed mood. He sat alone in the living room and took out a cigarette and smoked several cigarettes in a row.
When Xu Zhaodi came out to go to the bathroom, she frowned when she smelled cigarette smoke in the living room.
She limped to the window and opened it for ventilation, then turned around and said, "Next time you smoke, either open the window or go to the balcony."
Chen Jianguo frowned, and suddenly felt that the cigarette in his hand no longer smelled good.
Before he could ask her anything, she started lecturing herself.
He silently put out the cigarette in the ashtray in front of him and put the remaining half into the cigarette box.
Xu Zhaodi went into her bathroom, came out and went into her room without saying a word.
Chen Jianguo just looked at her back. He was used to seeing her fighting and quarreling, but now she suddenly became reasonable. He was not used to it and seemed a little scared.
…
When Jiang Dahai was eating, he said to Feng Xiujuan at the table: "I tell you, don't gossip about me in the courtyard all day. If you have nothing to do, stay at home and take care of the children, so as not to cause trouble for me."
Feng Xiujuan paused while serving her meal and said, "When did I gossip about others?"
"No, it's best not to. I don't know which wicked person reported Old Chen's wife this morning, and she has been taken in for interrogation.
Those messy gossips were spread by you women. You are not allowed to do such mean things, or I will break your legs."
When Feng Xiujuan heard this, her heart tightened.
Lao Jiang is an upright man. She is worried about him because he doesn't fight for anything.
However, Political Commissar Zhou probably won't tell Jiang Dahai about this incident.
Feng Xiujuan felt guilty and ate quietly with her head down.
Jiang Dahai saw that she was suddenly silent and asked seriously, "You didn't do this, did you?"
"No, I don't know."
"It better not be you, hurry up and eat."
Jiang Dahai didn't think much about it. Although this woman of his was not an easy person to deal with, she would not do things so without measure. He still had confidence in her in this regard.
…
Jiang Wan said to Zhang Qingdong after the call, "I have already told my parents that I will not leave. I will go to work at Wuxing Primary School next Monday.
I also told my dad about the dangerous incident yesterday.
Now, I can’t decide whether to keep you here or not.”
Jiang Wan looked happy, while Zhang Qingdong looked helpless. After answering the phone, he nodded respectfully and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qingdong sighed. It seemed that Jiang Wan couldn't leave.
