When Zhang Qingdong arrived, Jiang Wan cooked noodles.
But the noodles in the bowl have already clumped up.
Jiang Wan said: "Brother, it's time to eat."
When Zhang Qingdong saw the noodles on the table, his stomach tightened.
If you marry a wife yourself, you must love her yourself.
It's nice to have someone cook for me after get off work.
Zhang Qingdong said: "Oh, it looks good."
Seeing that he was dirty, Jiang Wan ran to the bathroom to wet a towel and came out to wipe his body.
"Don't move. I need to change my clothes after the stove is installed. Let me wash my hands and heat up the noodles. After we finish eating, you can rest while I install the stove."
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Tuo."
Seeing the smile on her face, Zhang Qingdong felt that all the hard work was worth it.
He reheated the noodles in the bowl in the pot to test the saltiness, and sprinkled a handful of green onions in it. The taste instantly became much better.
After they finished their meal, Jiang Wan followed Zhang Qingdong's lead to wash the dishes, but Zhang Qingdong washed them first.
Zhang Qingdong was installing the stove in the living room alone, and Jiang Wan was helping by holding the chimney.
Zhang Qingdong said, "When the stove is installed, I will bake sweet potatoes for you every night."
"Thank you, bro."
Jiang Wan's sweet laughter could be heard from the house from time to time.
Zhang Qingdong installed his own stove, and after the fire was lit, the two of them went to install it at Chen Jianguo's home.
After the chimney was installed, a bamboo pole was tied to the chimney to hang clothes on.
After going downstairs, he took two pieces of red-hot charcoal from his own stove and put them into Chen Jianguo's stove. He put a kettle on the stove. When he went out, he wiped the floor clean before leaving.
Jiang Wan imitated her mother's way of preparing vegetables and washed them with stiff and clumsy movements.
They planned to have hotpot in the evening, and Zhang Qingdong was frying the soup base.
The two of them had a clear division of labor and the cooperation was very pleasant.
When Xu Zhaodi came out of the restaurant after get off work, she saw a bus parked at the door.
When she got on the bus, it was not yet full.
The driver said, "Sister-in-law is here."
"Thank you for your hard work. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No sister-in-law, I'll be back at five o'clock."
Xu Zhaodi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as she was afraid that the other person would have to wait for too long.
It was a very comfortable bath today, and Xu Zhaodi took a nap on the way home.
When I opened my eyes, the car had already arrived at the gate of the compound.
Chen Jianguo came home from get off work and changed into clean clothes. He stood at the gate of the compound waiting for Xu Zhaodi.
Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa, who were on duty at the door, were so tense that they dared not move at all.
Zhao Erdan signaled to Zhang Xiwa with his eyes: Who are you waiting for, Captain?
Zhang Xiwa raised his eyebrows: How should I know?
Zhao Erdan raised his chin slightly: You ask?
Zhang Xiwa: Why don’t you ask?
Zhao Erdan clicked his tongue. The expressions on these two people's faces were truly fascinating. Chen Jianguo looked back at them for a while, but neither of them noticed.
Chen Jianguo's expression was calm: "What are you two doing?"
The two men felt as if they were being caught, their nerves tense and they stood up straight immediately.
Chen Jianguo glanced at the two of them with his sharp eyes.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zhao Erdan said: "Report to the battalion commander, no."
"No?
What are you doing with those winks and eyes?"
Neither of them dared to speak, they just pursed their lips and stood still.
Chen Jianguo growled, "Stand still."
He knew that these two brats were discussing him here, and the expressions on their faces were all frowned together.
After this roar, the two of them became much more obedient.
Soon, the shuttle bus stopped at the gate of the compound.
When Xu Zhaodi got off the car, she was holding a large piece of bacon in her hand, which looked like it weighed more than ten pounds.
Chen Jianguo took two steps forward and took it: "Where did you get so much bacon?"
"The restaurant owner He Damei brought it to Baoguo from his grandfather."
Chen Jianguo looked puzzled, and Xu Zhaodi said, "It was given by the family that Baoguo helped harvest wheat."
"Let me carry it."
The two men walked towards the compound, and Zhao Erdan's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Jianguo holding a piece of bacon in his hand.
The two saluted and said in unison: "Sister-in-law."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "You guys, you've worked hard."
Zhao Erdan stared at Xu Zhaodi with a silly smile. Chen Jianguo glanced at him coldly, and the smile on his lips disappeared immediately.
The two walked towards the courtyard, and Xu Zhaodi said with a smile: "Why are you always so mean to them? They are so cute."
cute?
My wife actually said they were cute?
Chen Jianguo said: "They are not cute at all. They are naughty all day long and just think about eating."
Xu Zhaodi burst out laughing, and Chen Jianguo added: "When I see you smiling at them, I feel jealous."
"You are so grown up, but you still act like a child."
Chen Jianguo was holding the bacon in one hand and holding Xu Zhaodi's hand in the other, and his ears were secretly red.
As if telling the two people looking at him from behind.
Don't look or think about it, this is my wife.
Chen Jianguo said: "Zhang Qingdong and Jiang Wanyi are here and said they will treat us to dinner tonight."
"Is Xiaowan here?"
"Well, here I am."
"So how did she do on the exam?"
"I didn't see her, and I didn't ask Zhang Qingdong."
As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat rushed towards her in the room. Xu Zhaodi thought that the electric blanket had been forgotten to be turned off and had caught fire. When she walked in, she saw that there was a stove in the living room.
"Did you install the stove?"
"I bought rice from Zhang Qingdong at noon, and he helped me pack it in the afternoon."
Chen Jianguo hung the bacon on the balcony, then came out and poured the boiling water on the stove into the kettle.
It’s really different when we have a stove at home, it’s very warm.
When these two people came to Zhang Qingdong's house, it was Jiang Wan who opened the door.
When Jiang Wan saw Xu Zhaodi, he threw himself into her arms.
"Sister, I miss you so much."
"I miss you, too. I always feel like life is meaningless when you're not around."
Jiang Wan took Xu Zhaodi's hand and walked into the house. She looked very happy. She made tea for the couple, went into the kitchen and brought out a plate full of snacks.
"Sister, have some snacks. These are all the snacks my mom brought me. I also prepared some for you. Take them with you after dinner."
Jiang Wan was still as enthusiastic as ever, so enthusiastic that she wanted to take out all her personal belongings.
She peeled the fruit for Xu Zhaodi and handed her a piece of beef jerky.
Xu Zhaodi looked at her hands filled with snacks and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Chen Jianguo saw that Jiang Wan liked his wife more than he liked Zhang Qingdong.
Chen Jianguo said, "You two can chat while I help Qingdong in the kitchen."
Jiang Wan pulled Xu Zhaodi into the room and asked her to sit next to his bed.
She smiled mysteriously: "Sister, let me show you something."
"What?"
Jiang Wan smiled and opened the wardrobe, took out an exquisite wooden box, and then took out a piece of paper that looked like a certificate.
The paper looked familiar at first glance. Xu Zhaodi remembered what it was and felt skeptical.
Is that what you want?
"Sister, I'm married."
Xu Zhaodi was shocked. It was exactly what she thought.
She took it with both hands, opened it and saw that it was indeed their marriage certificate.
"This is too sudden. Tell me quickly, how did you deal with him?"
Jiang Wan chuckled and said, "I don't know why he suddenly wanted to get married. You know, he said I was the loveliest girl in the world, and he said that in front of my parents.
He agreed to our marriage and he even bought me a watch.
Our parents said that they would hold a wedding for us the next time he has a vacation."
Seeing that Jiang Wan got what she wanted, Xu Zhaodi said, "You are such a lucky girl."
"Sister, you are very happy too."
The two men stayed in the room for a while.
Chen Jianguo was in the kitchen, and Zhang Qingdong also told him about their marriage certificate.
Chen Jianguo rolled up his sleeves, ate some vegetables, and said with a smile, "You finally made it.
At first, I was thinking of letting someone else do it. If Li Yan hadn't wanted to pursue Jiang Wan, you wouldn't have been so anxious."
Zhang Qingdong sighed, “I feel sorry for her.
But now that we have obtained our marriage certificate, I must think of her in everything.”
“Not bad, not bad, this is a very high level of awareness.
So when will you two hold the banquet?"
"Wait until the next time you visit the family."
"Did you say hello to Political Commissar Zhou?"
“Before getting the marriage certificate, my father called Political Commissar Zhou and verbally submitted his application.
Xiaowan and I have special circumstances. We live too far from home. Political Commissar Zhou knows both of our family situations, and he agreed to it over the phone."
"Then I'm happy for both of you."
"I want to sit down with my sister-in-law tonight and talk about this matter, and I hope it will make you happy."
"Your sister-in-law must be happier than me."
Two grown men, put the dishes neatly on plates and brought them to the table outside.
On the stove next to the table, there was a pot of boiling water, and the rich aroma of rice filled the entire courtyard.
After the dishes and chopsticks were placed, Zhang Qingdong said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaowan, it's time to eat."
