"Yeah." Cheng Jingmo replied.
Although Yu Xiangnian didn't say that he bought these things for Xiaojie, he intuitively felt that Yu Xiangnian bought them for Xiaojie.
He saw how good she was to Xiaojie during this period.
Feng Aiqin said, "You really treat Xiaojie like your own child. We are reluctant to buy these foods for our own children, but you are willing to buy them for Xiaojie."
Cheng Jingmo also heard the hidden meaning in their words, as if they were being insincere towards Xiaojie.
As a man, he didn't want to argue with a woman, so he didn't say anything else.
Yu Xiangnian refused to agree. He pulled Cheng Jingmo behind him and said to Feng Aiqin, "Who are you?"
These three words almost made Feng Aiqun explode with anger!
Who in the family compound doesn’t know her!
Not only because her husband was the political commissar of the regiment, but also because she came from a big city, had seen the world and understood the ways of the world, and could also write and do some math.
Whenever there was an argument between two families or a quarrel between a couple in the neighborhood, they would ask her to mediate.
She has a very high reputation among the family members!
Yu Xiangnian actually asked her who she was? !
Feng Aiqin puffed out her chest and said, "I am the lover of Political Commissar Su Mingliang, Feng Aiqin."
"Oh!" Yu Xiangnian seemed to suddenly understand.
Isn’t this Wu Xiaomin’s aunt!
A niece and an aunt, both made her unhappy!
Just when Feng Aiqin was feeling proud that Yu Xiangnian had failed to recognize a great talent, she heard Yu Xiangnian say, "Political Commissar Su always talks to others to get them to work, but why hasn't he done a good job of working with his own family? Does he know that you're being so sarcastic when you talk to others?"
Cheng Jingmo felt like laughing. Yu Xiangnian seemed to have a lot of objections to the fact that Political Commissar Su wanted to talk to her.
Feng Aiqin was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. "Who's being so sarcastic? I just want to know if these things were bought for Xiaojie!"
Yu Xiangnian raised his chin proudly, "Is that all you said? You guys treat Xiaojie like your own child. We are reluctant to buy these foods for our own children, but you are willing to buy them for Xiaojie. Isn't that what you said?"
Feng Aiqin: “…”
Yu Xiangnian added, "Aren't you just implying that Cheng Jingmo didn't buy these things for Xiaojie? Then produce proof to prove that these things were bought for someone else!"
Feng Aiqin was embarrassed and annoyed, "I just care about Xiaojie! You said you bought it for him, so you bought it for him. What evidence do you want me to provide?"
Yu Xiangnian remained calm, "You care so much about Xiaojie, why didn't you invite Xiaojie to your house for a meal, or make him some clothes? If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense. Spreading rumors is illegal! Everyone in the family compound saw how Cheng Jingmo treated Xiaojie, it's not your turn to doubt him!"
Yu Xiangnian still scolded whoever he met, but today, Cheng Jingmo felt very comfortable when he heard his words.
The family members who were watching the excitement on the side all nodded.
Cheng Jingmo is sincere to Xiaojie, and they can see it. Even if Cheng Jingmo can't bear to eat it himself, he will give it to Xiaojie.
"Sister Aiqin, you are wrong to doubt Deputy Commander Cheng. He treats Xiaojie well, and everyone in the family compound can see it!" said a family member.
Another family member echoed this, saying, "A single man with a child who's someone else's, it's going to be very difficult for him to find a wife. But Deputy Head Cheng adopted Xiaojie without hesitation."
When talking about the difficulty of finding a wife with children, Feng Aiqun felt embarrassed.
Her niece just disliked Cheng Jingmo for having a child and refused to follow him. In the past two months, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she came to her every day and said that she regretted it and wanted to live a good life with Cheng Jingmo!
However, Feng Aiqin couldn't afford to lose face in front of so many family members. She sneered, "I didn't say that Deputy Commander Cheng was mean to Xiaojie. I just heard that when Deputy Commander Cheng was not at home, Xiaojie couldn't even get a hot meal!"
Yu Xiangnian: “...” This left her speechless, because the original owner really didn’t care about Xiaojie.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie at the side spoke up, "Auntie, my aunt is very good to me. She cooks for me, buys me meat buns, candies, cakes, and even took me to a restaurant today."
He pointed to the rubber shoes on his feet and said, "My aunt bought these for me. She also made two sets of clothes for me."
Yu Xiangnian felt a little distressed. Xiaojie was a sensitive and sensible child. He was usually distant to her, but he defended her unreservedly in front of others.
He clearly knew that his previous aunt had treated him badly, but he never mentioned it and only talked about the good things she had done for him.
Xiao Jie's words left Feng Aiqun speechless.
The family members also went to the department store today and saw that this pair of rubber shoes was new stock that had just arrived at the store and cost three dollars a pair.
The car drove to the gate of the family compound, and everyone got off the car and went home.
Yu Xiangnian and the others also returned home carrying large and small bags.
She put the things on the table, and the first thing she did was pick up the kettle and pour a jar of cool boiled water and drink it.
Xiaojie and Cheng Jingmo ran to the faucet in the yard, washed their faces with cold water, and then scooped up the cold water to drink.
Yu Xiangnian felt that he had to change the two people's habit of drinking raw water.
She found two enamel jugs she had just bought two days ago and when the two men entered the house, Yu Xiangnian said to them, "Each of you will have a jug to drink water from. Don't drink raw water from now on. It contains parasites and can easily make you sick."
Xiao Jie didn't know what parasites were, so he asked Cheng Jingmo, "Uncle, what kind of worms are there in the water? Why don't I see any?"
Cheng Jingmo didn't know what a parasite was. "I haven't seen any parasites either."
It's time to educate them. Yu Xiangnian said: "There are many kinds of parasites, but most of them are invisible to the naked eye, and they can harm our bodies."
Xiaojie asked, "Aunt, we can't see them with our naked eyes, so how do you know there are bugs in the water?"
This is another opportunity to teach Xiaojie to study hard. Xiaojie just wants to play all day long, and he has torn up his textbooks to make airplanes and boats.
"I read it in the book! The knowledge in the book is so rich. It can take us to travel across the country, let us know about the thousands of years of civilization of our motherland, and also let us know about things beyond human civilization."
Looking at Xiaojie's hungry eyes, Yu Xiangnian felt a sense of accomplishment. Just as he was about to continue talking about the benefits of reading, he heard Xiaojie ask, "The book says that parasites are delicious?"
Yu Xiangnian was so shocked by these words that he almost fell off the bench!
Cheng Jingmo pursed his lips tightly, trying hard to suppress a smile.
"Eat, eat, eat! You just ate a lot of parasites. Do you think it tastes good?" Yu Xiangnian asked angrily.
Xiao Jie said seriously, "It doesn't taste like anything."
Yu Xiangnian almost vomited blood!
It was only later that Yu Xiangnian understood why Xiaojie asked this.
It turns out that there is a dish in Nancheng that is fried various insects, such as dragonflies, grasshoppers, bamboo worms, silkworm pupae, bee pupae, etc.
Xiao Jie didn't know what parasites looked like, so his mind naturally associated them with these insects.
