Not long after Yu Xiangnian and the others returned home, they heard a knock on the door.
Cheng Jingmo opened the door and saw Xiao Tuanjie, the husband of Liu Zhen's sister-in-law next door. He was holding a small bamboo winnowing basket with ten eggs in it.
"Deputy Captain Cheng, we don't have anything else at home. Please don't despise the eggs laid by our own chickens."
Cheng Jingmo was puzzled, "Captain Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Comrade Yu saved Fangzi's life today. My wife didn't dare come over, so I came to thank Comrade Yu."
"Help?" Cheng Jingmo was even more confused. "What's going on?"
Captain Xiao talked about what happened today when Fangzi got her candy choked on her food.
After hearing this, Cheng Jingmo didn't dare to help Yu Xiangnian refuse or accept these things. He could only call Yu Xiangnian over and let him decide for himself.
Yu Xiangnian had just put the shrimps into the bucket when she heard Cheng Jingmo calling her.
"Comrade Yu Xiangnian! Please come out for a moment."
That's such a strange way of calling him, and he even included the word "comrade"!
Yu Xiangnian ran out and saw Xiao Tuanjie holding a small basket of eggs, and he understood what was going on.
In this era of material scarcity, ten eggs were considered a small expense to be willing to give, but how could Yu Xiangnian accept them!
"Captain Xiao, it was just a piece of cake for me to save Fangzi. You're alienating us by doing this to our neighbor next door." She smiled and said, "Please take the eggs back. Your three children are still growing up. Leave them to them."
Xiao Tuanjie held the eggs very persistently, "If I hadn't met you today, Fangzi would be gone. This is just a little gift from Liu Zhen and me, please don't despise it."
"It's not that I dislike it, it's that I can't have it."
"If you don't accept it, your sister-in-law Liu Zhen will be suspicious again."
The news that Yu Xiangnian accepted Li Guihua's buns spread throughout the staff housing compound.
Liu Zhen was already upset about Yu Xiangnian throwing away the steamed cakes she gave him, and when she heard that Yu Xiangnian accepted Li Guihua's buns, she became even angrier!
Isn't this a slap in her face?
Yu Xiangnian: “…” It’s so difficult!
After thinking about it, I decided to accept it first and give them something else in a couple of days.
Just as he was about to accept it, he heard Cheng Jingmo say, "Captain Xiao, I remember you can weave things with bamboo strips?"
Captain Xiao nodded. "What's the matter?"
"How about this, you take the eggs back and help us weave a backpack, okay?"
Cheng Jingmo knew that soldiers like him were straightforward in their words and deeds, and would repay any favors they received. Even though his family members were not well educated, they also knew how to repay a favor.
Today, if I don’t accept something from them, they will feel bad.
"A backpack is no big deal. I'll chop some bamboo and weave it tomorrow." Xiao Tuanjie said nonchalantly.
"I'll just chop the bamboo, and you can take the eggs back."
Xiao Tuanjie went back with the eggs.
Yu Xiangnian leaned closer to Cheng Jingmo and whispered, "I prefer the little dustpan in Captain Xiao's hand. It's so unique!"
As Yu Xiangnian got closer, a faint fragrance entered Cheng Jingmo's nostrils, which smelled very pleasant.
Cheng Jingmo took a breath unconsciously, then felt something was wrong and took a step back.
I thought to myself, why didn’t you say so earlier!
Liu Zhen was sewing shoe soles. When she saw the eggs being taken back, her face turned cold. "She doesn't even like eggs?"
Xiao Tuanjie put the eggs on the table. "It's not that she doesn't like them. She said our three children are growing up, so she left them for them to eat."
Liu Zhen couldn't believe her ears. "Did she really say that? Why wouldn't I believe it?"
"How could I lie to you? Deputy Commander Cheng asked me to weave a backpack for their family."
Xiao Tuanjie paused and said, "Let's not judge people with the same old perspective. People change. I think Comrade Yu is a reasonable person, not as unreasonable as everyone says."
Liu Zhen recalled the scene where Yu Xiangnian saved Fangzi today.
She could have ignored it, but she picked up Fangzi without hesitation, regardless of the cold words of the family members.
If Fangzi had not been rescued, the family members, including her, would definitely misunderstand that Yu Xiangnian had killed Fangzi. Who knows how big a fuss this would have become at that time!
Yu Xiangnian didn't think too much about it and was only focused on saving Fangzi.
Thinking about it this way, although Yu Xiangnian has a bad temper, he has a good conscience!
The other side.
Yu Xiangnian came out of the shower and said to Cheng Jingmo, "Take off your clothes. I'll take a look at your wound."
Cheng Jingmo had just taken a shower, a cold shower using the faucet in the courtyard.
"No need, I'm fine!" Cheng Jingmo was worried that Yu Xiangnian would get more injured!
Yu Xiangnian was upset. She wanted to see Dr. Wu, not her! Her medical skills were far better than Dr. Wu's!
She insisted on watching it!
"You choose whether you want me to check it or I want Dr. Wu to come to my house to check it for you!" she said with a smile.
It seems like there are two options, but in fact there is only one choice.
If Cheng Jingmo chose to see her, then she would carefully examine his wound. If Cheng Jingmo chose Dr. Wu, then she would give him a "careful" examination.
Looking at Yu Xiangnian's smiling face, Cheng Jingmo felt a chill on his back, which must be due to the cold shower he had just taken.
After thinking about it, I decided not to provoke Yu Xiangnian.
In the past six months, he had had enough of Yu Xiangnian's unreasonable behavior and finally had a few days of peace and quiet.
Just watch it, you won’t die!
Cheng Jingmo sat on the bench and lifted up his clothes.
Yu Xiangnian was very satisfied that Cheng Jingmo had made a wise choice. The smile on her face became even bigger. "Take off your clothes!"
She had a selfish motive and wanted to admire the handsome guy's figure and muscles.
"Huh?" Cheng Jingmo said with some embarrassment, "Isn't it okay to watch like this?"
"You're a grown man, are you afraid that I'll eat you? Take off your clothes so I can check you!" Her reason was very reasonable.
