Chapter 19: The Innocent Man



Cheng Jingmo always had that expression on his face. "Comrade Yu, our regiment is training and we need some equipment."

Ding Yunfei saw Cheng Jingmo and walked out while greeting him, "Deputy Captain Cheng..."

He also didn't dare to hook up with Yu Xiangnian openly. If he was accused of having a problem with his work style, his future would be ruined.

Yu Xiangnian opened the drawer, took out the key and registration book and walked out.

Yu Xiangnian took Cheng Jingmo towards the warehouse. Cheng Jingmo walked behind her, looking at the slender figure, feeling a little annoyed.

Does she have this kind of contact with Ding Yunfei every day?

Before I knew it, I had reached the warehouse door, where five soldiers were already waiting.

When I saw Yu Xiangnian, I didn’t know whether I should say hello.

In the past, a few comrades came to collect things and called Yu Xiangnian "sister-in-law", and were scolded.

The five of them looked at each other, and finally, one soldier timidly said, "Comrade Yu... Hello!"

Yu Xiangnian smiled enthusiastically, nodded and said, "Hello!"

The five soldiers were at a loss and looked at each other.

A few people walked into the warehouse to move things, and Yu Xiangnian stood by and recorded everything one by one. He did not have the impatience as rumored, and he also told them to be careful.

The soldiers secretly glanced at Cheng Jingmo, who was checking the items he had received with Yu Xiangnian with a serious face.

The five soldiers carried their belongings and left first. Before leaving, a brave soldier said, "Sister-in-law, we're leaving first."

Yu Xiangnian raised his head and smiled, "Okay, go slower."

The muscles on Cheng Jingmo's face twitched uncontrollably.

He took the registration book handed to him by Yu Xiangnian with an expressionless face, signed on it, returned the book to her, and then turned and left.

Looking at the army green figure's back, Yu Xiangnian suddenly wanted to tease him.

"Hey, Cheng Jingmo!"

Cheng Jingmo paused for a few seconds before turning around. "Comrade Yu, is there anything else?"

Yu Xiangnian put his hands behind his back, walked slowly up to him, looked up and said, "You're leaving without saying hello?"

Cheng Jingmo lowered his eyes. The little face in front of him was clean and white, with bright lips. The bright eyes looked at him with a smile, blinking.

He felt a little dry in the mouth, and quickly took a step back and said, "Comrade Yu, goodbye."

"Comrade Cheng Jingmo, don't do strenuous exercise. Be careful of your wound!"

She spoke in a heavy tone, enunciating each word. For some reason, Cheng Jingmo felt his ears burning.

He said nothing more and turned and left.

Yu Xiangnian looked at his red ears and giggled.

This man is too innocent. He gets shy even when talking to a woman!

Listening to Yu Xiangnian's laughter, Cheng Jingmo felt his ears getting hotter, and his pace became faster and faster.

After a while, he caught up with the five soldiers.

"Deputy Commander Cheng, why is your face red?" a soldier said in surprise.

"It's too hot, so I walked in a hurry."

"We don't believe it! You must have seen my sister-in-law!" Another soldier said with a laugh, "My sister-in-law is really beautiful, and not as fierce as those people say."

"What's so fierce about her? I thought my sister-in-law was very approachable, like a fairy!"

"Not a fairy, but a woman in a picture magazine."

Several soldiers were chattering about something, and Cheng Jingmo said in a deep voice, "That's enough. Do you want to run another ten kilometers later?"

Cheng Jingmo has always known that Yu Xiangnian is pretty, but talking about people behind their backs is not something a grown man should do.

Several people immediately fell silent, and Cheng Jingmo's expression gradually returned to normal.

When it was almost time to get off work, Cheng Jingmo brought the soldiers to return the equipment.

In the warehouse, Yu Xiangnian counted the items one by one. When Cheng Jingmo signed, he said, "I'll go cut bamboo first. I'll make dinner when I get home."

There is a bamboo forest about three kilometers away from the troops. If he goes there quickly and comes back quickly, he will be back in an hour.

"Oh, go ahead. I'll go home and cook soon." Yu Xiangnian said.

Cheng Jingmo frowned, then signed, returned the registration book to Yu Xiangnian, and left without saying goodbye.

Yu Xiangnian returned home and started cooking.

She actually doesn't know how to cook very well. In modern society, she either eats in the cafeteria or orders takeout, and rarely cooks for herself.

But we have to do it now.

Fish, braised fish with tomatoes and peppers, I don’t know if it’s edible.

Fry the shrimp in oil and sprinkle with salt, peppercorns, etc. to make salt and pepper shrimp.

Then, I picked some cucumbers from the yard and made a soup.

Just eat it like this.

Just as the meal was ready, Cheng Jingmo came back with a big bunch of bananas in his hand and a small backpack on his shoulder.

"Such a tall banana!" Xiaojie exclaimed.

Yu Xiangnian was also surprised when he saw the bunch of bananas that was almost one meter high. "Aren't you going to cut bamboo?"

"There were a few banana trees in the bamboo forest. I saw they were ripe, so I cut a bunch."

"What about bamboo?"

"Put it at the door and I'll deliver it later."

Such a big bunch of bananas, but they couldn't finish it all, so Yu Xiangnian said, "Then you can cut some and send them to Captain Xiao's home."

Cheng Jingmo thought the same. He cut some bananas and sent them over along with the bamboo, and asked Xiaojie to send some to Dong Minghao's family.

When he came back, he was holding a few bags of eggplants and a bunch of bok choy.

Sister-in-law Liu Zhen had just picked them from her own field and insisted on letting him take them home to eat.

Cheng Jingmo returned home, took out the eggs from the small basket, poured the clams from the basket into the bucket, and added water to keep them.
