Chapter 124: The knife in my father-in-law's eyes

Chu Sangning didn't dare to speak anymore. Even with her back to Jiang Xingyan, she could still feel his burning gaze. She leaned sideways and stammered, "I, I can't."

Jiang Xingyan laughed, "Silly girl, you don't need to know."

Chu Sangning closed her eyes shyly, slowly waiting for the man behind her to calm down. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Xingyan finally let go of the girl in his arms and patted her head.

He said jokingly, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

It’s not Chu Sangning’s fault for thinking too much. It’s really that Jiang Xingyan’s look is a bit... tempting. What he means by eating may be different from what he understands as eating.

"Jiang Xingyan, get out." Chu Sangning threw the pillow beside her at his face in anger. After the man left, she couldn't stop fanning herself with her hands, trying to cool down the scalding temperature on her cheeks.

Really...why did I let him go to bed and sleep with him for the whole night?

Jiang Xingyan slept well with the little girl in his arms at night, but Zhou Yongzhuo and Qiao Xiangye woke up with half of their bodies stiff. The two grown men slept in a crooked manner.

Neither of them has a good sleeping position.

Zhou Yongzhuo rubbed his forehead. He drank too much last night and had a headache when he woke up this morning. He turned his shoulders and laughed at Qiao Xiangye who was still unconscious. "Old Qiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it. I reek of alcohol and I have to go back to change clothes later. If Shulan smells it, she'll probably get mad again."

Unlike Zhou Yongzhuo who is a loner, Qiao Xiangye is enjoying it. Although he sounds worried, he is showing off secretly.

"Humph, why are you showing off? I already have a daughter."

The two of them sat for a while before they remembered that they had been drinking with Jiang Xingyan yesterday. The two of them were here, but where was Jiang Xingyan?

Zhou Yongzhuo randomly called out to a young soldier from last night, "Where did Captain Jiang sleep?"

"Report, Captain Jiang left early last night and didn't let us follow him."

Zhou Yongzhuo thought for a few seconds, then reacted instantly, gritting his teeth and saying, "Jiang Xingyan, I underestimated you."

He was not allowed to follow anyone. He was drunk and had not even slept in the army dormitory. Where else could he be?

This brat might have gone to Sang Ning to act pitiful. He didn't care about his old friend behind him and quickly ran back to the family building.

A group leader named Qiao Xiangye followed Zhou Yongzhuo holding his coat and shouted, "Old Zhou, don't run so fast."

He was still counting on Lao Zhou to keep it a secret from his wife. How could he run away before he even had a chance to give a confession?

Zhou Yongzhuo rushed straight home and met Jiang Xingyan at the door. The two looked at each other. Jiang Xingyan admitted that he saw a knife in the eyes of his future father-in-law at that moment.

I'm afraid he even wants to kill himself with a knife.

"Jiang Xingyan, you're awesome." Zhou Yongzhuo raised his thumb with a smile, and without saying anything else in front of his young lady, he pulled Jiang Xingyan away.

"Dad, don't let Jiang Xingyan drink so much. Don't forget about his body." Chu Sangning shouted loudly, and Zhou Yongzhuo stopped and waved his hands and agreed.

Because of the advice of his young lady, Zhou Yongzhuo was relieved after observing for a while, and he thought Jiang Xingyan really didn't have any bad love affairs.

Chu Sangning also lived in the family building. Within a few days, several families moved into the newly built house, including He Shulan.

On weekdays, He Shulan was busy mediating quarrels and minor disputes among neighbors. Now, there was no one who liked to make trouble. Qiao Xiangye specially asked about his own wife and left the women who loved to chatter the most in the original family building.

Chu Sangning led a leisurely and comfortable life in the army. She reclaimed the wasteland in the yard and planned to grow some vegetables.

It’s best if it can be kept for a long time, because we have eaten enough of other dishes. The army canteen serves fried cabbage once every two days and leeks once every three days.

If this continues, Chu Sangning is worried that he will become a leek.

If we buy them, it will be a huge expense, and no one is out selling vegetables in the winter.

He Shulan knew that her niece wanted to grow vegetables, and she didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, so she just said a few words to her indirectly, "Sang Ning, there are some problems with the land here. Other vegetables can't grow well."

The people in the army were tired of eating cabbage and leeks. They also tried to grow other vegetables, but none of them survived, and over time everyone gave up hope.

Chu Sangning didn't believe it, so he asked Jiang Xingyan to buy some vegetable seeds for him. He scattered the seeds and took good care of them. However, more than ten days passed, and not only did he not see any results, he didn't even find a single vegetable seedling.

After Jiang Xingyan learned that the girl had failed in her vegetable planting, he came back at noon to comfort her, "Sang Ning, nothing can grow on this land in winter."

"The people in the cafeteria have tried it many times, and have tried all kinds of vegetable seeds."

Chu Sangning became more and more courageous as she clenched her fists. Suddenly, she remembered that she had spinach and lettuce seeds in her space. She ran to Jiang Xingyan excitedly and asked, "Have you tried hydroponics?"

"Hydroponics?" Jiang Xingyan exclaimed in surprise, staring at the little girl's bright eyes, unable to think of anything else, and immediately grabbed her and gave her a deep kiss.

He stopped only when Chu Sangning was out of breath. "I think I've tried hydroponics before, but it didn't work."

The ones grown in soil don’t work, and the ones grown in hydroponics still don’t work. Do I have to eat cabbage and leeks for the whole winter?

Chu Sangning knew that she had a lot of food in her space, but she couldn't take it out. It was not what was needed in this season. It was fine for her to eat it quietly at home, but how could she give it to others?

My aunt said some time ago that several children in the family building were constipated, and several sisters-in-law also fell ill for no reason and had particularly poor resistance.

Chu Sangning knew that this was because people did not eat vegetables. Nowadays, every household was reluctant to add oil and water when cooking. Without oil and water and vegetables, even a body of steel could not hold on.

Jiang Xingyan thought he had persuaded the little girl with his words, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it in two days."

Chu Sangning shook his head and asked people to start training quickly. He took the spinach seeds and went to the field to study. He squatted there for a long time without sleeping or eating.

Several military wives passing by saw that Captain Jiang's girlfriend was holding a bag and muttering something in a mysterious way.

Chu Sangning held his chin in his hand and sighed in distress: "What should I do?"

When she turned around, she saw Jiang Xingyan standing behind her with a smile on his face. Chu Sangning stumbled, "When did you come? You scared me to death."

"You're so focused. I've been standing there for over half an hour."

The setting sun appeared from the horizon, and the troops' afternoon training was over. When Jiang Xingyan came back, he found the little girl still squatting in the vegetable field.
