Chapter 42: The tit-for-tat between men

Actually, Luo Yiping didn't want to say so much, but when he saw the crutch in Jiang Xingyan's hand and passed by him, he couldn't help but ask: "Your leg?"

"Injured." Jiang Xingyan replied.

"Oh, can it be okay?" Luo Yiping asked. He was really worried. After all, he knew the rumors circulating in the village. However, rumors can spread quickly and some things become distorted as they are passed on.

Besides, men know each other well. Jiang Xingyan is a little worried about Chu Sangning... Luo Yiping said, "Jiang Xingyan, you know, the moon is the moon, it is out of reach."

"Yes, the moon is destined to hang high in the sky, rather than stay in this small mountain village for the rest of its life, don't you think?"

Jiang Xingyan was not to be outdone and retorted, his words making Luo Yiping's face turn pale, but he couldn't refute it.

Seeing each other early in the morning, both of them felt unlucky. As a well-mannered person, Jiang Xingyan said nothing on the surface, but he also kindly congratulated him: "Congratulations, you have started a family."

Now that you have a family, don't worry about people you shouldn't worry about.

This was Jiang Xingyan's advice and warning to Luo Yiping. He didn't care what Luo Yiping thought, but he couldn't affect Chu Sangning's reputation.

Jiang Xingyan turned and left after he finished speaking. Luo Yiping picked up firewood with a straight face and an expressionless face. The villagers who passed by congratulated him in person and talked behind his back.

"Why does the Luo family kid have a gloomy face so early in the morning?"

"I don't know. I just got married yesterday. I came out early this morning. I don't know what happened?"

Several old ladies huddled together, laughing and joking: "This old lady Luo should also take good care of her son's health. She's just good-looking but useless."

After Jiang Xingyan calmed down, he slowly walked back home. Lin Xiuzhi asked, "Where did you go so early in the morning?"

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk. I'll cook later." Jiang Xingyan remembered that Chu Sangning liked the spicy stir-fried cabbage she made the most, so he washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

Lin Xiuzhi couldn't hurry him away. She hoped her silly son wouldn't be so busy. While washing the pot, Lin Xiuzhi kept muttering, "Xingyan, wait until your leg is healed before you think about those things."

Jiang Xingyan nodded: "Yes, I know what I am talking about."

While the two were talking, people at home got up one after another. Except for Jiang Panan and Chu Sangning, Lin Xiuzhi was a worrisome person.

It's not okay to skip breakfast, Pan Wenlan pulled her son out from the warm quilt. Jiang Pan'an was sleepy, blinking and yawning: "Mom, I'm sleepy."

"I'll sleep after dinner. Eat first. Your uncle made a lot of food today."

Pan Wenlan put on her son's coat, patted him on the back and told him to go out and wash his face and brush his teeth. Jiang Pan'an noticed that there was one person missing from the table after he cleaned up.

He tilted his head and asked, "Uncle, where is my sister?"

"Your sister Chu is still sleeping." Jiang Xingyan picked up a piece of scrambled egg for his nephew.

Jiang Panan chewed the dough in his hand and said incoherently, "Mom, look, my sister Chu hasn't gotten up yet. I'll get up later next time."

"Okay, forget about breakfast and sleep until noon before eating." Pan Wenlan nodded in agreement, thinking this was a good idea, and said to her son in surprise.

No breakfast? Jiang Panan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. Anyway, the weather was getting colder, so there was no need to eat so early.

"You nodded, hurry up and eat." Pan Wenlan looked at her son helplessly, asking him to talk less and eat more.

As for Chu Sangning's meal, Jiang Xingyan had already reserved it for her. Lin Xiuzhi even joked with a smile, "If you get married in the future, you'll have to cook for me every day."

Jiang Xingyan smiled. If it was Chu Sangning, it would not be a problem.

After dinner, the Jiang family received another package, this time for Chu Sangning.

Seeing the address above, Jiang Xingyan understood, "It's a courier from Lu City. It should be from Chu Zhiqing."

After Chu Sangning woke up and had just finished cleaning up, Jiang Xingyan silently brought the meal to her, "There's a courier outside, it should be for you."

"Yeah, okay, I'll take a look later."

After dinner, Chu Sangning took the heavy package and opened it in the yard. When he saw what was inside, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Her father must have sent over all the things in the house. Biscuits and bread would be fine, but why is there also a kettle?

Chu Sangning did not keep any of it for herself. She kept some for herself and gave the rest to Lin Xiuzhi. "Auntie, this is a specialty my father sent me."

"Keep it for yourself and don't take everything out." As Lin Xiuzhi was talking, Chu Sangning stuffed a piece of dried meat into her mouth.

She smiled faintly and leaned on Lin Xiuzhi's shoulder, looking sly and playful, "Auntie, I'm almost getting entangled in my ears from listening to you."

"Okay, Auntie, I won't say any more. It's not easy for a little girl like you to go to the countryside. Be nice to yourself."

Chu Sangning hugged Lin Xiuzhi intimately and spoke in a naive manner, "I told my dad that I met good people, and the people here are very nice to me." As he spoke, the smile on his brows lingered for a long time.

Looking at her porcelain-white cheeks, Lin Xiuzhi sighed and said that anyone who met Chu Sangning would be lucky. The girl was young and simple-minded, and could be easily fooled. She had to protect her well and not let her be fooled.

The other members of the Jiang family went to work in the fields, while Jiang Xingyan and Jiang Pan'an accompanied Chu Sangning to the back hill to collect grass for the pigs.

Because Jiang Panan was there, other people in the village couldn't say anything when they saw them, after all, the person they were dating had a child with him.

With the help of the two of them, Chu Sangning hardly moved. He sat on a big rock and watched Jiang Xingyan busying around. After all, pursuing someone also requires action.

Jiang Xingyan was eager for Chu Sangning to give him a chance to perform, so he naturally wanted to show it well. Chu Sangning smiled and waved his hand, "Pan'an, come over too, your uncle can finish it himself."

Jiang Panan glanced at his uncle's legs with concern. Jiang Xingyan shook his head, "You go over there and rest too."

"Come on Jiang Xingyan, it's up to you to decide when we'll finish."

Jiang Xingyan glanced at Chu Sangning helplessly, with a flash of fondness in his eyes: "Okay, then you better watch out."

Chu Sangning couldn't help but laugh. After spending so much time with Jiang Xingyan, she realized his gentleness underneath his cold personality.

If the soldiers under Jiang Xingyan heard her thoughts, they would slap their thighs and laugh wildly. Their company commander is gentle? How is that possible?

Even ghosts may not be as scary as their company commander. Do you really think that the title of Lengnian Yan Wang is just a random one?

Jiang Xingyan has his own way of training his soldiers. No matter how cunning and disobedient a soldier is, he will become as obedient as a quail within three days under his command.

Just when Jiang Xingyan bent down to pick pig grass, Chu Sangning and Jiang Panan sneaked away from behind him. It turned out that Jiang Panan had just seen a rabbit, and the two followed the rabbit into the back of the mountains.
