Chapter 151: "Follow my Captain Jiang and you'll have food to eat"

Jiang Xingyan was looking forward to it, the new year was about to come, and he was called up early in the morning to pick someone up at the station.

After waiting at the door for a long time, Jiang Xingyan strode forward when he saw a familiar person. "Uncle——"

Chu Yuanlin glanced at him and nodded. Jiang Xingyan followed Chu Yuanlin with his things in his hand.

This is my future father-in-law. Unfortunately, he and Sang Ning haven’t gotten their marriage certificate yet, so I’ll have to wait a long time before I can openly call him “Dad.”

Chu Yuanlin was sitting in the passenger seat, but he had no idea that his son-in-law was silently counting the days in his heart, planning to kidnap the daughter he had raised. He only felt that he had become more stable.

A man must be stable so that his wife can feel reliable. Chu Yuanlin doesn't like men who are smooth talkers and thinks that Jiang Xingyan is a good man.

Her parents are open-minded and her sisters-in-law are harmonious with each other, so Sang Ning will not be wronged when she marries into the family.

Chu Sangning was particularly happy about Chu Yuanlin's arrival. She boasted that her cooking skills were superb and asked her father to just sit at home and wait for dinner.

Jiang Xing invited Chu Sangning and He Shulan to a banquet, but Qiao Xiangye couldn't be invited as he was busy with his military duties. He watched helplessly as most of the people had left.

The ones who stayed with her until the end were Zhou Yongzhuo and Chu Yuanlin.

Qiao Xiangye's eyes were filled with emotion, and he took out a box of tea from the drawer below, "Lao Zhou, Lao Chu, you two are really kind-hearted. Don't be polite to me today, drink."

Zhou Yongzhuo curled his lips and said, "I'm not accompanying you. It's too cold today and I don't want to go out."

Chu Yuanlin also raised his hand silently, "I just arrived and plan to catch up on some sleep later."

Well, neither of them came to stay with him. Qiao Xiangye was moved in vain and quickly took the tea leaves back.

Zhou Yongzhuo laughed and said, "No way, what's wrong with drinking a pack of your tea?"

"What's wrong? You found all the bottles I had saved last time and drank them for me."

Several grown men were arguing in the house, while over there, Jiang Xingyan drove He Shulan and Chu Sangning to the vegetable market.

In fact, it is just the things that the villagers living nearby saved for themselves, including dried mushrooms, bacon that they were reluctant to eat, and mostly cabbage and potatoes.

He Shulan asked Jiang Xingyan to take care of Sang Ning, and she walked to the other side with the basket. Chu Sang Ning wanted to follow her, but He Shulan didn't let her, and even glanced at her jokingly before leaving.

She had also been through this young time before, so she naturally knew that she couldn't be a light bulb.

Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan stopped and walked along the way. As long as there was something delicious, Jiang Xingyan would buy it for her to try.

With the hot and fragrant biscuits in his mouth, Chu Sangning waved his hands, "No, I won't be able to eat anything else later if I eat too much."

Jiang Xingyan was like a trash can. He stuffed into his mouth anything that Chu Sangning couldn't eat or thought tasted bad.

The two passed by a place where a foul smell was emitted. Jiang Xingyan subconsciously pulled Chu Sangning outside, and the old man squatting on the ground smiled.

"Hey, young man, this isn't some big shit. It won't stink your target."

Chu Sangning was still a little shy, so she asked Jiang Xingyan to let go of her hand. The two of them stood in front of the old man and looked at the two buckets beside him, both covered with gray cloth. The strange smell was coming from there.

"Grandpa, what do you have in here?"

Since the old man is here, it means the things inside are also for sale, but...

The old man laughed and boasted to Chu Sangning, "We killed a sheep in our village. I got some sheep intestines and lungs. Do you want some?"

Jiang Xingyan shook his head. This kind of thing was difficult to make. If it wasn't done right the house would be filled with the smell of mutton. He didn't want it, but Chu Sangning came up with an idea.

"Then take some, grandpa, and give me this lamb bone too." People with sweet words are always treated preferentially wherever they go.

Finally, Jiang Xingyan held the lamb shank bones in one hand and the smelly lamb intestines in the other, and asked the little girl who was jumping around and curious about everything she saw, "How do you want to eat these?"

Could it be that the family had run out of meat, or that the girl had no money? The smell of lamb intestines was pungent, but Jiang Xingyan didn't dislike it. He just wondered if Chu Sangning had no money to buy meat, so he wanted to buy some substitutes to satisfy his craving.

It is said that love makes people stupid. No matter who is poor, Chu Sangning is the one. Qiao Xiangye and He Shulan give him money and food every few days. Chu Yuanlin, who is thousands of miles away, also sends food to the army every half a month. Chu Sangning has more money than he can spend.

Jiang Xingyan continued to explain: "If you want to eat something, just tell me."

Chu Sangning froze in place, looking at Jiang Xingyan's serious eyes, and burst out laughing, "You don't think I have no food to eat, do you?"

Lamb intestines are also very good, as are lamb shanks and bones. As long as you add plenty of seasoning, there will be no mutton smell.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Sangning stretched out her sinful little hand and secretly touched Jiang Xingyan's hand. When she saw him pause, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Deliberately teasing him, "Captain Jiang, I'm a little short on money lately - I can't afford to buy what I want to eat, so I have to eat these."

She lowered her head and pretended to be lost, but in fact her eyes were almost smiling into crescents, and her eyes were full of cunning.

Jiang Xingyan grabbed the little girl's hand, his dark and deep eyes suddenly became serious, he searched for something in his pocket, and looked at Chu Sangning seriously, "I still have some money in my pocket, you can use it first, and when my allowance comes next month, we will have money and can afford anything."

He also emphasized that he could afford it, which made Chu Sangning want to laugh even more. He didn't take his money, but approached him and stood on tiptoe to coax him: "Okay, follow my Captain Jiang, and you can afford anything."

After they finished their shopping, they waited for He Shulan. When everyone came home carrying their bags, Chu Sangning washed the lamb intestines with cooking wine and seasonings while Jiang Xingyan went into the house to change clothes. He also cleaned all the dirt inside with chopsticks.

Jiang Xingyan took the heavy responsibility, rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Anything else? I'll do it."

"Then wash the lamb intestines thoroughly with flour and salt. I'll go cut the vegetables."

The two of them had a clear division of labor, just like a married couple, and the warm scene in the kitchen did not last long.

The three of them went downstairs to help. Jiang Xingyan naturally couldn't let his elders help with the work, so He Shulan was coaxed away by Jiang Xingyan in a gentle tone as soon as she got involved.

The three of them looked at each other. He Shulan said, "In that case, let's wait and eat."

Zhou Yongzhuo moved a stool and sat at the door of the kitchen, staring at them without blinking, making Jiang Xingyan feel uncomfortable walking and even more restrained in doing things.

"Dad, your eyes will be irritated if you sit here. Let's go to the living room first." Chu Sangning advised helplessly.
