Chapter 168: Fire in Zhang Qingdong's Backyard



Jiang Wan wiped away her tears and said, "I'm not thin."

Xu Zhaodi: "I wanted to find time to see you, but I caught a cold the past two days."

"I came to see you, didn't I?"

Xu Zhaodi smiled and reached out to touch Jiang Wan's face.

Sometimes I think that the two of them really do sympathize with each other.

She had no one to rely on, and Jiang Wan left her alone.

Xu Zhaodi: "Stay for dinner tonight."

"No need, sister. I was just worried about you. Now that you're feeling better, I'm relieved.

I'll sit with you for a while, and I'll be gone before dark."

"Don't be anxious. Sit for a while. I'm bored alone."

Jiang Wan smiled and said nothing more.

In the kitchen, Zhang Qingdong was absent-minded. Chen Jianguo finished cooking and said, "Go and call your sister to eat."

Zhang Qingdong hesitated to speak, but still came to the door.

Chen Jianguo brought the food to the table and took a bowl for Xu Zhaodi.

Chen Jianguo: "I'll feed you."

Xu Zhaodi glared at her and whispered, "What's going on between these two people?"

Chen Jianguo also lowered his voice: "Zhang Qingdong doesn't want Jiang Wan to stay here and suffer, and has always wanted her to leave."

Xu Zhaodi couldn't help rolling her eyes. She took the bowl and drank the porridge in silence. Chen Jianguo fed her a mouthful of cabbage.

"Yan Yan told you to eat more vegetables."

Xu Zhaodi reminded him quietly: "Don't go out yet, let them sit for a while."

At the dinner table, Jiang Wan just sat quietly.

Zhang Qingdong took out the key from his bag and put it aside, saying, "Since you're here, stay for one night. I'll take you home tomorrow morning. It looks like it's going to rain heavily outside."

Jiang Wan glanced at the keys on the table.

"No, thank you for your kindness, I'll leave after I finish my meal."

Zhang Qingdong hesitated to speak, as he had lost all appetite.

After Jiang Wan finished eating, he took his bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen and went into the room to greet Xu Zhaodi.

"Sister, I'm done eating. You should have a good rest. When you feel better, I'll come to see you at work."

Xu Zhaodi said: "Let's talk in the afternoon."

Xu Zhaodi wanted to keep her for a while longer, but before Jiang Wanyi could finish her words, heavy rain started to fall outside the window.

The rain came a little suddenly, and Jiang Wan felt helpless for a moment.

Xu Zhaodi looked out the window and couldn't help smiling.

"I don't need to keep you here now, God has already kept you here."

Jiang Wan didn't know what to say for a moment and could only wait until the rain stopped.

In the living room, Zhang Qingdong heard the sound of rain and breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope the rain can get heavier.

After Chen Jianguo finished his meal, he cleaned up the kitchen and went to his room.

After Zhang Qingdong left, he stood at the door of Lou Yu's house and smoked.

Jiang Wan was a persistent girl, and he knew she was just irritating him.

It's raining so hard outside. What if she leaves in the rain and gets sick?

Zhang Qingdong's mind was in a mess. When Chen Jianguo went downstairs, there was a strong smell of smoke in the building.

He frowned and said, "You are amazing. Everywhere is like a chimney, and you are not afraid of being suffocated."

Zhang Qingdong put out his cigarette in silence and followed Chen Jianguo downstairs.

Chen Jianguo said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Yan Yan is really interested in Jiang Wan, you know it in your heart.

Look at yourself, you are so obsessed. I don’t believe you if you say you have no feelings for Jiang Wan.

You should take some time to talk to her."

The rain was coming down heavily, and the raindrops were hitting the umbrella with a crackling sound.

Jiang Wan accompanied Xu Zhaodi to sleep in the afternoon. During the afternoon political class, Zhang Qingdong was full of worries. After the get out of class was finally over, he immediately ran over.

The heavy rain was still falling. Jiang Dahai looked at Zhang Qingdong running in the rain and said, "Hey, why is this kid so flustered lately?

Is the house on fire?"

Chen Jianguo said meaningfully: "It is true that there is a fire in the backyard."

When Chen Jianguo arrived, Zhang Qingdong was standing at his door.

Chen Jianguo paused: "Why are you at my doorstep?"

"Brother, help me see if she is sick."

He didn't dare knock on the door.

Chen Jianguo gave him a serious look and thought: What a promising future!

Snap——

The moment the door opened, there was no one in the living room.

Zhang Qingdong followed behind him, and Chen Jianguo also felt guilty.

Chen Jianguo walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked gently.

"Wife, are you asleep?"

Xu Zhaodi was sleeping so soundly that the two woke up only when Chen Jianguo knocked on the door.

"Jiang Wan and I accidentally fell asleep."

Zhang Qingdong, who was standing by, felt relieved when he heard this.

Jiang Wan sat up from the bed in shock, leaned over to look out the window, and saw that it was gray outside and raining heavily.

It seems that I won’t be able to stay up tonight.

When Jiang Wan came out of the room, Zhang Qingdong's heart started to panic and he quickly stood up straight.

"Xiao Wan, come with me."

Jiang Wan knew that Xu Zhaodi was ill and she couldn't cause any more trouble for her.

She nodded.

"Sister, I'm going to leave first. If I get up early tomorrow morning, I won't come to say hello to you."

Xu Zhaodi wanted to keep her for dinner, but Zhang Qingdong was watching her covetously. Knowing that there was a rift between the two that needed to be resolved, she didn't stay any longer.

Jiang Wan left two kilograms of snacks for Xu Zhaodi and left with Zhang Qingdong.

Zhang Qingdong followed behind Jiang Wan and felt that she looked smaller from behind.

She stayed here alone for seven or eight months.

As soon as they entered the house, Zhang Qingdong was worried that she might faint, so he locked the door and took a deep breath.

"I'll make whatever you want to eat."

"I'll go cook some noodles."

Jiang Wan was about to go to the kitchen, but Zhang Qingdong was quick and grabbed her.

"You like dumplings, let me make some."

During this period of time, he could just make do with what he could do alone. She had finally come here, so he might as well do something good.

Jiang Wan paused, not quite understanding what he meant.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen. Jiang Wan put down his bag and went into the kitchen to help.

Zhang Qingdong: "Go and have a rest, stop working so hard."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything and didn't go out.

In the kitchen, there is a scene of two people cooking.

There was no meat at home, so Zhang Qingdong fried eggs and put them in the chopped cabbage. He also minced ginger and green onions, adjusted the seasoning, and then the two of them made dumplings together.

Jiang Wan is not very good at making dumplings, so he just puts the filling in the middle of the dumpling skin, folds it in half and pinches the edges tightly.

The dumplings Zhang Qingdong made were round and beautiful. Jiang Wan took a peek. Seeing that she wanted to learn, Zhang Qingdong said, "Look, after you put the fillings in, just squeeze them like this and they're done."

Jiang Wan learned how to use his eyes, but not his hands. After wrapping it for a long time, he decided to use the old method taught by Xu Zhaodi.

When the dumplings were wrapped and served on the table, Zhang Qingdong even specially prepared the sauce for her.

Zhang Qingdong placed a large plate of dumplings in front of Jiang Wan and said, "Eat."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, lowered her head and ate in silence.

The rain was still falling outside the window. Zhang Qingdong had borrowed the car keys from the political commissar in the afternoon and would personally take Jiang Wan to town early tomorrow morning.

The two hadn't sat together to eat for a long time, and at this moment Zhang Qingdong felt inexplicably at ease.
