Chapter 80: "Sang Ning, I am your uncle"

Chu Sangning turned around after hearing the noise and saw an old man looking at him with red eyes.

She was somewhat at a loss. She looked at Jiang Xingyan who was following the uncle, looking at him for help, and silently asked, "What happened?"

"Little girl, are you...Jiang Xingyan's partner?" Qiao Xiangye was a little out of control, and tried hard to control his emotions, and asked kindly.

Chu Sangning smiled uncomfortably, "Well, hello."

"Captain, let's go out first. Dinner is about to start." Jiang Xingyan understood the girl's nervousness and urged Qiao Xiangye to leave the kitchen.

At this moment, Qiao Xiangye was in no mood to sit down and talk. He stared at Chu Sangning in the kitchen, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Jiang Xingyan understood what he meant, but...the team leader would probably be disappointed.

Qiao Xiangye was fidgeting and asked with a trembling voice, "Jiang Xingyan, what's your partner's name?"

"Captain, her name is Chu Sangning, she is from Lu City, and she has a father at home."

Qiao Xiangye immediately grasped the point, "What about mother?"

"Mother Sang Ning passed away a long time ago." After Jiang Xingyan finished speaking, Qiao Xiangye felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost the most important thing.

He didn't say anything, and the political commissar and Sun Guoan didn't dare to say anything either. The grown men sat together and looked at each other.

This quiet and awkward situation did not change until He Shulan's mistress arrived late. Seeing his wife coming, Qiao Xiangye stood up and pulled his wife to the kitchen.

"Xiao Shu, look."

When He Shulan saw Chu Sangning for the first time, she covered her mouth in surprise. They really looked alike, even their eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same.

Chu Sangning was cooking in the kitchen. She felt like a small animal locked in a cage, being watched by everyone. She didn't understand why everyone was looking at her with eyes that said "you've suffered".

After all, women understand women. Seeing Chu Sangning's uncomfortable look, He Shulan wiped away the tears from her eyes, pulled her man out first, and whispered, "Let's go out first."

I'm here to have dinner at Jiang Xingyan's house today. As for this matter, let's talk about it after everyone leaves.

Jiang Xingyan made chicken stewed with beans, and Chu Sangning also made tofu fish soup and spicy chicken. She was wondering if the dishes would be enough.

It turned out that everyone brought their own food. Seeing the little girl sweating in the kitchen again, Jiang Xingyan helplessly took out a handkerchief for her to wipe her sweat, and whispered: "Everyone will bring a dish when they come."

That's why he prepared three dishes, but the little girl made several more, and this time they really couldn't finish them.

Jiang Xingyan, the political commissar, Sun Guoan and several other company commanders sat together, Chu Sangning, He Shulan and other military families sat at one table. Everyone chatted for a while and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Qiao Xiangye seemed to be eating at the table, but in fact he kept staring at Chu Sangning. If it weren't for his old age, Jiang Xingyan would really suspect that his leader had some dirty thoughts.

"Hey, Captain, eat some food." Qiao Xiangye's actions were too obvious, and everyone else noticed it. Jiang Xingyan didn't want everyone to look at the girl strangely, so he found ways to talk to Qiao Xiangye.

He Shulan and Chu Sangning sat together, the distance between them was very close. He Shulan hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Where is Xiao Chu from?"

“I’m from Lushi.”

Lu City and Beijing City? They are completely unrelated. He Shulan didn't care and continued to ask, "How many people are there in your family?"

"A family of three." Chu Sangning smiled shyly. Hearing this, He Shulan's heart skipped a beat and her face changed slightly.

"But my mother passed away when I was very young. She has always been in my and my father's hearts. We are a family of three." Chu Sangning added.

He Shulan touched Chu Sangning's hand lovingly, "Poor child, do you still know your mother's name?"

Chu Sangning was puzzled. Why did the head of the group's wife care so much about her family? Could it be that she was like this to everyone?

"My mother's name is Qiao Xizhi, a very nice name."

After Chu Sangning finished speaking, the next table suddenly heard the sound of a cup falling. Qiao Xiangye's eyes flushed and his lips trembled, "What did you say it was?"

"Qiao Xizhi."

Familiar name, familiar features, Qiao Xiangye suddenly couldn't hold back his tears, he stood up and choked up, "You guys eat first, I'll go out for a while."

Jiang Xingyan didn't seem to expect that the leader's relatives were actually by his side. As a guest, he had to entertain other people in the room, so he didn't leave.

But everyone was not stupid. They all saw Qiao Xiangye's misbehavior and left at the same time after the meal. Suddenly, only He Shulan, Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning were left in the room.

When there was no one around, He Shulan dared to burst into tears: "Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, you are my sister's child, and I am your aunt."

An aunt who came from the sky? This joke was not funny at all. Chu Sangning struggled out of He Shulan's arms and said with a tangled face: "Madam, you may have recognized the wrong person. My mother has no relatives."

My dad said my mom is an orphan and has no relatives at all, so where did this aunt come from?

"That's right, absolutely right." He Shulan touched Chu Sangning's eyebrows, as if reminiscing about an old friend, "When I first met your mother, she was also so beautiful and bright, making people like her at first sight."

It was also because of Xizhi that He Shulan met Qiao Xiangye, and later they became husband and wife.

"How is that possible?" Chu Sangning couldn't accept it for a moment. He looked at Jiang Xingyan with a pleading look, wanting him to come out and say something.

"Sister-in-law, please don't worry. It's been so long since this happened. It's better to check it out carefully."

Chu Sangning's little head kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, my father never mentioned this."

Qiao Xiangye, who had just calmed down, heard Chu Sangning's words when he came back, and he felt mixed emotions. "You said you have a father?"

Chu Sangning felt that Jiang Xingyan's superior had some problems in his head. If she didn't have a father, then where did she come from? She couldn't have popped out from a crack in a rock, right?

"My father's name is Chu Yuanlin, and we live in Lu City." Chu Sangning answered confidently.

Qiao Xiangye suddenly felt sorry for his old friend. Xiaozhi had been missing for such a long time and it turned out that she got married and had children outside. He couldn't imagine how crazy Zhou Yongzhuo would be if he knew about this.

And Xiaozhi, she and Yongzhuo have been in love for a long time, it is impossible for her to marry someone else, there is something fishy here, Qiao Xiangye glanced at Chu Sangning and said hurriedly: "Sangning, I am your uncle."
