Yu Xiangnian asked, "Are you going on another mission?"
"It's a war zone competition. We have to go to Tianjin. It may take more than half a month to come back."
Yu Xiangnian knew that every year each major war zone would select the best soldiers and gather them in a certain place to hold a large competition.
Cheng Jingmo has won the championship of the Army Competition for several consecutive years. He not only won honor for himself, but also brought glory to the Southern Theater Command.
Yu Xiangnian was also happy for him, "That's great! Tomorrow is Sunday, let's have a good meal to send you off!"
"Um."
Cheng Jingmo was worried in his heart whether Yu Xiangnian would return to his original state when he came back this time.
On Sunday morning, Cheng Jingmo rode his bicycle, with Yu Xiangnian sitting on the back and Xiaojie sitting on the front bar, and they went into the city together.
The three of them first went to a state-owned restaurant for breakfast. Yu Xiangnian had a bowl of noodles, Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie had a bowl of noodles and a meat bun.
Yu Xiangnian was worried that Xiaojie would eat too much!
Then, the three of them went to the vegetable market to buy fish, ribs, and some side dishes.
Cheng Jingmo bought another 30 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of cornmeal, and 5 kilograms of oil.
He had to prepare food rations for them during the time he was away from home.
Yu Xiangnian watched Cheng Jingmo carrying large and small bags on his shoulders and in his hands.
There are already three people riding on that bicycle, where can they put so many things?
"Cheng Jingmo, you bought so many things right away. How are we going to get back later?"
Cheng Jingmo had already thought about this problem. He said, "You and Xiaojie wait for me in the department store. I'll send these things back first."
"It's such a hot day, and you're still running around." Yu Xiangnian said with reluctance.
"It's okay, just go to the department store and buy whatever you like."
Cheng Jingmo tied these things to the back seat and rode his bicycle back.
Yu Xiangnian took Xiaojie out for a walk and eat, including candied haws, popsicles, and sour plum powder.
On the way, she saw a man selling rice sticks, so she bought another bag of rice sticks. She saw a man selling soda, so she bought three more bottles of soda.
Finally, they arrived at the department store and bought a can of malted milk and two handkerchiefs.
The malted milk is for Xiaojie and the handkerchief is for Cheng Jingmo.
Yu Xiangnian found that Cheng Jingmo was quite particular. He always carried a handkerchief in his pocket and changed it every day. The handkerchief was so old that its original color could not be seen.
The weather was so hot that when Cheng Jingmo arrived at the department store, sweat was pouring down his forehead and temples, and the back of his white shirt was also soaked with sweat.
Cheng Jingmo took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat and asked, "Have you bought anything?"
"I've bought it." Yu Xiangnian took out two square blue and black plaid handkerchiefs and handed them to Cheng Jingmo, "For you."
Cheng Jingmo was stunned. He lowered his eyes to look at the handkerchief, with unknown emotions surging in his eyes.
After a moment, he took it and said, "Thank you."
"It's so hot, let's go home."
Yu Xiangnian walked forward, not noticing Cheng Jingmo behind her, looking at her with a passionate yet restrained gaze.
When they got home, all three of them were sweating profusely, especially Cheng Jingmo, whose back was soaked.
The first thing Yu Xiangnian did was to turn on the electric fan, and he felt cool immediately.
Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie washed their faces and hands under the faucet outside the house, then went back into the house and each drank a sip of cold boiled water.
Yu Xiangnian reminded them from time to time not to drink raw water, and the two of them stopped drinking raw water in front of Yu Xiangnian.
Of course, when she was not around, the two of them would still drink however it was convenient for them.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with braised fish, pork ribs and lotus root soup, pan-fried green beans, and hot and sour shredded potatoes. In front of each person was a jar filled with soda.
Yu Xiangnian raised his cup and said, "Come, let's clink our glasses and wish Comrade Cheng Jingmo a great victory in this competition!"
The three of them clinked the jars together and each took a sip.
Cheng Jingmo said somewhat embarrassedly: "Everyone is very good, I may not be able to win the championship."
Yu Xiangnian said nonchalantly, "I'll just say one thing. Don't put pressure on yourself. Winning the championship isn't that important. Just do your best."
Cheng Jingmo thought that if he could win the championship, more people would see his excellence, which would be beneficial to his future development and would provide good conditions for Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie.
Xiaojie said confidently: "Uncle, you will definitely win first place!"
Yu Xiangnian looked at Xiaojie and narrowed his eyes. "I heard from Daya that you got 18 points on the math test this time?!"
Xiao Jie still didn't understand the importance of studying. He held his head high and said confidently, "Daya only scored 65 points, and Dong Jiannan only scored 16 points!"
Dong Jiannan is Wang Hongxiang's eldest son.
Yu Xiangnian nodded with a forced smile, "It must be quite difficult for your teacher to raise two talented people like you from an ordinary class!"
Cheng Jingmo laughed out loud, and Xiaojie still didn't understand what Yu Xiangnian meant.
Yu Xiangnian pursed her red lips. "You're still laughing! You have to take care of Xiaojie's studies. The future society needs knowledgeable and cultured people."
There was a complaint in her soft voice, as if she was acting coquettishly, and Cheng Jingmo's heart softened. He said in a calm voice, "Okay!"
Yu Xiangnian said to Xiaojie, "From tomorrow on, you will study with Duoduo and Guangming. I will teach you if you don't understand."
Cheng Jingmo heard the hidden meaning and asked, "Are you going to take Xiaojie back?"
Yu Xiangnian said, "I was just about to tell you. When you go out, it's just Xiaojie and I at home, and it's so quiet. I'll take Xiaojie back home to stay for a while. There'll be more people around, and Xiaojie will have company to play with."
In fact, Yu Xiangnian doesn’t want to cook!
The thought of having to cook three meals a day gave her a headache!
Living in her own home with a nanny to cook and do laundry, she can concentrate on her translation work.
Cheng Jingmo didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit consent.
The other side.
Ding Yunfei bought two kilograms of pork and two kilograms of white wine and came to Baimei's house.
Bai Mei's condition for apologizing to Yu Xiangnian was that Ding Yunfei had to come to her house for dinner and apologize to her in person.
Baimei dressed up specially today, wearing a yellow blouse, her hair tied into two braids falling on her chest, and a layer of powder on her face.
She was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, making several dishes: stir-fried meat with sauerkraut, tiger-skin green peppers, stir-fried pumpkin, cold lotus root slices, and she also cooked a chicken, filling a big pot.
The two younger brothers came back from outside and couldn't help drooling when they saw how sumptuous the meal was.
Then he saw a man in military uniform sitting in the main room and couldn't help asking, "Are you our brother-in-law?"
Brother-in-law?
Ding Yunfei frowned. He would rather be someone else's brother-in-law.
No matter how Bai Mei dresses up, she can never compare to Yu Xiangnian, not to mention that Yu Xiangnian has such a good family.
"Your sister and I are colleagues." Ding Yunfei was afraid that they didn't understand what "colleagues" meant, so he added, "We are comrades who work together."
At this time, Baimei's parents came back from working outside.
Baimei and her mother looked at each other meaningfully.
