In the past, the original owner quarreled with Cheng Jingmo every few days, and every time they quarreled, he would smash things here and there, and only two or three bowls were left in the house.
The original owner ate out every day, and Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie usually ate the food they got from the cafeteria, or just made up a dish to eat.
There are more dishes and more people today, so there are not enough bowls.
Cheng Jingmo said with a hint of embarrassment: "Xiao Jie, go to Aunt Liu Zhen's house next door and borrow four bowls."
Xiaojie said, "We are only three bowls short."
"Borrow four."
After a while, Xiaojie came back with four big bowls.
Cheng Jingmo first took a bowl and scooped a full bowl of braised pork, then put the vegetarian buns given by Li Guihua into the steamer and scooped a bowl of braised pork into the bowl as well.
It seems that when he was about to return the bowl, he was given a bowl of braised pork.
Not to mention, this guy is pretty good at dealing with people.
After scooping two bowls, only half of the braised pork was left in the basin.
"Let's eat." Cheng Jingmo asked, "Who wants the vegetarian buns? Sister Guihua gave them to me."
Li Guihua gave three vegetarian buns, but Yu Xiangnian didn't want to eat them. It happened that there were three men, so each of them got one.
After dinner, Yu Xiangnian wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Yu Xiangyang again, "Let him wash them! You don't do these things at home, why do you have to do them just because you married him!"
He is indeed my brother! He protects me so well!
Cheng Jingmo didn't show any expression. He just cleaned up and went to wash the dishes.
Xiao Jie picked up a bowl of braised pork and was about to return it to Li Guihua's house. Yu Xiangnian said, "There are four candied haws in the jar. Take two to the two little girls and you can eat the remaining two."
"Yes, auntie."
Only the brother and sister were left in the main room. Yu Xiangyang lowered his voice and said, "Niannian, don't let your imagination run wild. How can you find a good man like Cheng Jingmo after your divorce?"
Yu Xiangyang began to list Cheng Jingmo's good points. "He takes care of all the housework and doesn't let you do anything. He's reluctant to spend a penny and gives you so much money every month. You quarrel with him all the time, but he always puts up with you... Look at you, you're so fierce, lazy, and pretentious, and he treats you like an ancestor!"
Yu Xiangnian: “···” Is it necessary to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak?
"Except for being a bit dull, he's good in every way! No! Mom said he's not dull, he's deep and reserved, the kind of person who can accomplish great things! Look at him, he's the youngest deputy regimental commander in the army. You're going to have a great time in the future!"
Yu Xiangnian thought to himself that Cheng Jingmo was very outstanding, but it was boring for their relationship to be tied together by this so-called "marriage"!
Yu Xiangyang glanced at Cheng Jingmo who was washing dishes in the kitchen, took out a few Great Unity banknotes and some tickets from his shirt pocket, and stuffed them into Yu Xiangnian's hand.
"That's all I brought today. Take this and buy whatever you want. If you run out of money in the future, tell me and don't ask Cheng Jingmo for it. I don't need any money anyway!"
He paused and said, "See if Xiaojie needs anything and buy him some so he doesn't spend it all by himself."
Yu Xiangyang is close to Cheng Jingmo, and he knows their marital status very well.
Therefore, he would buy some things to visit her home from time to time, and secretly give Yu Xiangnian some money, tickets, etc. In fact, he came to be a good person to Yu Xiangnian and try his best to help her maintain the precarious marriage.
Yu Xiangnian looked at the money and tickets in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put them into his bag. "Thank you, Third Brother."
She and Cheng Jingmo are both broke now, and the family still needs expenses. Besides, if she doesn't accept these things, Yu Xiangyang will be unhappy and suspicious.
Yu Xiangyang added, "By the way, I heard you beat up Company Commander Zhang yesterday. The political commissar will be coming to your house to talk to you later."
"Well, he beat his wife, so I beat him."
Yu Xiangyang said, "As long as you think you're doing the right thing, Third Brother supports you. I'll be here for the conversation later, too. Don't be afraid."
Yu Xiangnian was somewhat touched. In the original owner's memory, her father and three brothers doted on her very much, which was why she became willful and capricious.
She laughed, "With Third Brother here, I'm not afraid!"
As he was speaking, the political commissar came down with a subordinate.
The political commissar's name was Su Mingliang. When he came in, he saw Cheng Jingmo washing dishes in the kitchen and said with a smile, "Deputy Commander Cheng is truly a model husband in our 9th Army."
When Yu Xiangyang heard the voice, he immediately stood up and saluted, saying in a loud voice, "Political Commissar Su!"
Political Commissar Su: "Comrade Yu Xiangyang is here too."
Yu Xiangnian also stood up and said with a smile, "Political Commissar Su, you are here."
Political Commissar Su smiled and nodded at Xiang Nian, "Comrade Yu, sorry to bother you."
Cheng Jingmo heard the voice and came out of the kitchen, also saluting, "Political Commissar Su!"
Political Commissar Su waved his hand and said, "At home, everyone should be more casual."
"Political Commissar Su, please sit down." Yu Xiangnian invited them to sit on the benches next to the eight-immortals table. There was no other table in the house.
She went to the top shelf of the cupboard and took out the tea canister, brewed four pots of tea, and placed them on the table in front of them.
Cheng Jingmo looked at Yu Xiangnian's actions with mixed feelings, confusion and surprise...
He was even a little secretly happy that Yu Xiangnian finally didn't embarrass him this time!
Political Commissar Su, his subordinates, Yu Xiangyang, and Cheng Jingmo each sat on one side of the eight-immortals table. After Yu Xiangnian finished his work, he sat next to Cheng Jingmo and shared a bench with him.
Political Commissar Su took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. "The truth is, Comrade Yang Qing'an and I came here today to discuss with Comrade Yu Xiangnian the domestic violence incident involving Company Commander Zhang Hongzhi yesterday."
Political Commissar Su first expressed his position, saying that the army would resolutely not allow domestic violence among soldiers, and then praised Yu Xiangnian for his bravery.
Then he gave Xiang Nian some advice: Don't act impulsively, think about the consequences, and what if you hurt someone? Next time you encounter such a thing, report it to the group and don't use force.
Yu Xiangnian nodded and said seriously, "The political commissar is right. I accept his opinion. But next time I encounter something like this, I will still take action."
Four grown men: “…”
Political Commissar Su put his fist to his mouth and coughed, then added, "Comrade Yu has a straightforward personality, but the regiment is worried that you might be accidentally injured while trying to help."
Yu Xiangnian: "Oh, I will be careful. If I can't win, I will run away."
Political Commissar Su: “...” This conversation is getting a bit out of control. Why don’t you follow the routine?
Yu Xiangyang suppressed his laughter and came to the rescue in time, "Commissar Su, my sister is not very good at speaking, but she has taken everything you said to heart."
Political Commissar Su had a step down, took a sip of tea, and looked at Cheng Jingmo again, "Deputy Commander Cheng, you are an excellent soldier and Comrade Yu's husband. You must teach by example and do a good job of supporting the family members."
Cheng Jingmo had a blank expression on his face. "Okay, Political Commissar."
Political Commissar Su continued, "I heard that Comrade Yu is pregnant?"
