Xu Zhaodi is very fortunate that she was raised by her uncle and aunt.
If I really stay in that house, I'm afraid life will only become more difficult.
Xu Zhaodi said: "This thief."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Don't think about it. It's useless to think so much. She should be here soon.
Come on, let's go back early, your little sister is waiting for us to have dinner tonight."
Xu Zhaodi quickened her pace when she thought of Jiang Wan's coming.
As soon as the two of them returned, Jiang Wan came knocking on the door before they had even finished cleaning up the kitchen.
"Sister, hurry up and come to my house for dinner. Everything is ready."
Xu Zhaodi said, "Come in first, I'll clean up and come back."
"I won't come in. I'll go downstairs to help Brother Qingdong serve the dishes. You guys hurry up."
Jiang Wan stood at the door, smiling and looking very happy.
"Okay, we'll come right down."
Jiang Wan left first. Chen Jianguo had already put away the things in the kitchen. Xu Zhaodi went into Chen Jianguo's room and saw that the two white shirts in the closet were indeed missing.
She slammed the cabinet shut, pretending to see nothing.
Chen Jianguo stood behind her and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry, let's go eat something delicious."
Xu Zhaodi asked, "Why aren't you angry at all?"
“There’s no point in being angry, calm down.
On the battlefield, when we encounter enemies, there are many more cruel and angry things than this. We still have to learn to be patient. A little impatience will ruin a big plan."
As Chen Jianguo spoke, he pinched Xu Zhaodi's face. She was thinner now, so where did the flesh on her face come from?
Xu Zhaodi didn't expect that Chen Jianguo would say this.
Apparently, there was a reason why he had been able to climb to this position in recent years.
Although he looks like a rough guy, he is actually calm and thoughtful, and can guide you to think in a positive way.
Xu Zhaodi was very happy in her heart, but she looked unconvinced and said, "Humph, I am angry even if you are not. Anyway, the clothes are yours, not mine."
Chen Jianguo smiled and rubbed Xu Zhaodi's head hard with his big hands.
Xu Zhaodi slapped him angrily: "Oh, you messed up my hair."
When she went out this morning, she tied her hair into a low ponytail with a black hairband and a pink handkerchief tied into a bow, which looked very pretty.
Chen Jianguo said: "Don't move, I'll help you tie it again."
"Can you?"
"Of course not. Holding a gun is a piece of cake. How can I be afraid of a small handkerchief?"
Xu Zhaodi was smiling, and Chen Jianguo's tall figure stood behind her.
He struggled for a long time but failed to tie up Xu Zhaodi's hair, and she became anxious.
"Can you do it or not?"
Chen Jianguo handed the handkerchief to Xu Zhaodi: "Okay, I admit defeat today. I can't do it."
When Xu Zhaodi heard this, she snatched the handkerchief he passed from her shoulder, turned around and slapped him twice on the arm.
"You've held a gun before, haven't you? Aren't you awesome?"
Chen Jianguo dodged to the side and smiled extremely happily. His two rows of teeth looked exceptionally white on his dark face.
Xu Zhaodi tied her hair up quickly, and then the two of them went downstairs.
The corridor was filled with the smell of meat. The door of Zhang Qingdong's house was half-open. Chen Jianguo knocked on the door and pulled Xu Zhaodi in.
When he entered, he saw so much food on the table and was shocked: "Wow, so much food?"
Zhang Qingdong brought the rice to the table and said, "Brother and sister-in-law are here, hurry up and sit down to eat. Today's meal is specially prepared for you."
Chen Jianguo asked: "Can you finish all this?"
Seeing that Chen Jianguo was polite, Zhang Qingdong became less polite.
"Come on, I don't know how much you can eat. I'm being polite to you because my sister-in-law is beside you. Sister-in-law, you don't know, just a few days ago when we went to the provincial capital for a meeting, your husband ate more than three pounds of hand-pulled mutton in one go, and also had a big bowl of mutton noodles. Do you think he can eat it?"
Chen Jianguo gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you say that? Why are you so shameless?
Wife, don't listen to his nonsense. If he hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the fried pancakes you made for me when we set out last time were all eaten up by them in one go. I ate one while driving on the way, and they left one for me when we arrived in the provincial capital. I was hungry the whole day.
Who would have thought that after arriving in the provincial capital, Political Commissar Zhou treated us to hand-pulled mutton. I was so hungry at the time that I ate a little more. "
Xu Zhaodi saw the two grown men making fun of each other and her cheeks hurt from grinning.
Hey, why are they all so cute?
Zhang Qingdong said: "That's because the cakes my sister-in-law made were so delicious that we couldn't resist."
"Then you still dare to say I can eat it?"
"Brother, I was wrong, okay?"
"It was your fault in the first place."
Jiang Wan placed the last bowl of rice on the table and said, "Brother Chen, Sister Chen, let's eat quickly."
Several people sat at the table. Zhang Qingdong poured two glasses of wine and placed one next to Chen Jianguo.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's get back to the point. Political Commissar Zhou has approved my leave for forty days.
Xiaowan is going to take the college entrance examination, and I haven't been home for several years. I want to take advantage of the time when Xiaowan goes back to take the college entrance examination to visit my parents.
During this period, you two have taken good care of me and helped me take care of Xiaowan. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. This glass of wine is for my brother and sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law, you and Xiao Wan can just drink plain water."
Chen Jianguo said: "I don't have much to say. We are all brothers who have been through life and death together. We should help each other if we can. Be careful on the road tomorrow."
"Thank you, bro."
Jiang Wan said: "Sister, Brother Chen, Brother Qingdong and I toast to you.
If I hadn't met you, my sister, I would have been sold somewhere long ago.
Sister, I, Jiang Wan, will remember your kindness all my life.
I am happy today, so I will pour myself a glass of wine and toast to you with it."
Jiang Wan felt that the water was not sincere enough, so she took the cup and poured herself a glass.
Zhang Qingdong grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Girls shouldn't drink. If you've never drunk before, you'll get drunk easily."
Jiang Wan's tone was a bit pleading and coquettish: "Can I just have a few drinks?"
Zhang Qingdong had no choice but to refuse.
"Then I'll pour you a glass. Drink three cups at most. No more than that."
"good."
Jiang Wan was happy now, as she had never drunk any alcohol before.
Zhang Qingdong poured Jiang Wan half a glass of wine. Jiang Wan looked down and asked, "Isn't this a little too little?"
“It’s quite a bit. Even though the wine is small, the friendship is full.
Be obedient and drink less."
If Xu Zhaodi hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought she had heard it wrong.
Zhang Qingdong coaxed Jiang Wan like he was coaxing a child. As a bystander, Xu Zhaodi saw his expression and behavior clearly.
If Zhang Qingdong didn't have Jiang Wan in his heart, she would write the character "田" upside down.
Chen Jianguo had a gloomy expression as he looked at the two people showing their affection in front of him. It seemed that he didn't treat the couple as outsiders at all.
Chen Jianguo coughed dryly, and Zhang Qingdong realized that their behavior was somewhat intimate. His ears turned red.
Zhang Qingdong chuckled to hide his panic.
"Come on, come on, drink some wine."
