When Jiang Xiu woke up early in the morning, she draped her arms over her sides. They were still a little warm, but there was nothing next to them.

Shen Mo just left.

Jiang Xing sat up suddenly. She thought that Shen Mo coming back last night was just a dream.

I got up after throwing off the quilt, and heard the sound from the kitchen. I thought it was Shen Mo in the kitchen, so I walked through the living room and pushed open the kitchen door. "Shen Mo, did you sleep well last night..."

Seeing the small figure in the kitchen, Jiang Qi swallowed the rest of his words.

She had gotten addicted to teasing Shen Mo these past two days and liked seeing him being shy.

But this is only limited to when she and Shen Mo are alone together. Zhiqi is at the age of enlightenment, and she can't lead the child astray.

She looked through the kitchen, but she didn't see Shen Mo.

Frowning slightly.

Where are the people?

Jiang Xi turned around and asked Huo Zhiqi, "Where is your Uncle Shen?"

Zhiqi still can't change his words to her mother, and he probably won't call Shen Mo dad either. Calling him Jiang Liu is not important, and she doesn't have to care about it.

Huo Zhiqi raised his hand and pointed at the pot on the stove. "He cooked porridge and eggs and left."

Left?

Jiang Xing looked down at his watch and saw that it was only 12:00 in the morning.

Shen Mo usually leaves at seven o'clock.

I came back so late last night and left so early today...

Could it be that 놇... is hiding from her?

This guess was basically confirmed. Jiang Qi laughed. I just teased him a few times, but why is he so shameless?

She wouldn't eat him.

Ginger and lime went over and opened the pot lid. The aroma of rice porridge wafted out, and there were three eggs in the bowl next to it.

There were only three eggs left in the house. When Jiang Xiu saw the eggs, he knew he had to replenish supplies.

She turned to look at Huo Zhiqi, who was squatting by the stove. Seeing him rummaging through something, she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Huo Zhiqi was a little confused about the change of his status for a moment, and said shyly, "I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I roasted two sweet potatoes."

Jiang Xiu looked at the big pot of porridge and the three eggs in the bowl. Is she a pig? How could she eat so much?

Huo Zhiqi took out the roasted sweet potatoes from the stove, and the aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes filled the air.

Jiang Luo has always complained that roasting sweet potatoes is troublesome and makes a mess.

But roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, sweet and fragrant.

For breakfast, she had an egg, a sweet potato and a bowl of porridge, and gave the other two eggs to Zhiqi.

"The school isn't far away, right?" Jiang Liu asked.

Huo Zhiqi shook his head, "Not far."

"Then remember to go home for lunch at noon, and don't sneak off somewhere else to do your homework." Jiang Qing reminded him, and only let him go when the little guy nodded.

Generally, there is an official primary school in every military unit. If the family compound is not far from the military unit, the official primary school is certainly not far away either.

After sending the little guy out, Jiang Qi returned to his room to clean up.

After taking care of her skin, she picked up a rubber band and tied her thick hair into a high ponytail. The ponytail swung, giving her a heroic and refreshing look.

Wearing a simple shirt and jeans, he walked out of the yard.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into Sister Li who was carrying a basket of vegetables. When she saw Jiang Xing, Sister Li greeted her warmly, "Where are you going, Sister Jiang?"

"There's no more food at home. We have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Sister Li said, "What a coincidence. 놖 also has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. 놖's wife said that she wanted to make pig's trotter soup. 놖녈 is going to buy some pig's trotters and then make soup for him to send to the troops."

"Then let's go together."

Sister Li is a talkative and generous person. Jiang Xixian has become familiar with her and the two of them chat as they walk.

They chatted jokingly about the day when Old Lady Wang picked on Jiang Liu.

Sister Li asked: "Xiao Shen mentioned this to you when he got home."

Jiang Xing nodded, "Shen Mo told me about it when we got home that day."

As for what the old lady said to Shen Mo, she didn't know.

"Xiao Shen never told you, so what did Old Lady Wang say to him?" When talking about what happened that day, Sister Li couldn't stop smiling.

This made Jiang Xi particularly curious about what Old Lady Wang talked to Shen Mo about.

"What did they say?"

"I just happened to pass by that day and heard everything." Sister Li said after laughing enough, "The sisters-in-law in the compound all know what kind of person Old Lady Wang is. She is sarcastic and mean, and her words are not pleasant to hear. Don't be angry when I tell you."

Jiang Liu said no.

"Two days ago, when Xiao Shen came home from training, the old lady stopped him and said, 'You are a vixen, and you are restless,' and asked Xiao Shen to take care of you.

The old lady must have been upset because you got into trouble here, so she wanted to make amends, so she went to Xiao Shen and asked Xiao Shen to take care of you."

Then, Sister Li vividly performed the ferocious face of Old Lady Wang, and Jiang Qi was also amused by her.

But when she heard Sister Li tell her what Shen Mo said, she felt a little warm in her heart.

She knew that Old Lady Wang would never say anything good about her. Calling her a vixen was the least of her worries. The worst crime she faced was that she would hook up with other men.

In this age of strict discipline, it is easy to be arrested for any little movement. Some words may be said unintentionally by the speaker but taken seriously by the listener. If Shen Mo really took those words to heart, then she would be helpless.

But Shen Mo was able to say something like, "She chose someone else because he was not a good person." This kind of advanced thinking is rare in this era.

Sister Li laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "You don't even know that when Xiao Shen finished saying those words, the old lady's face was greener than a lemon."

The two of them laughed all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative. There were still some snacks and other things at home, but they mainly needed to buy some vegetables.

When Jiang Xing was looking at the leaves, Sister Li stopped him and said, "Why are you buying vegetables? My sister-in-law has them grown here. You can't just go to my sister-in-law's house and pick them."

"How can that be possible?" Jiang Xi was a little embarrassed. "The land at home has just been reclaimed and we haven't planted vegetables yet. I can't go to your house every day to pull them."

Jiang Xing's voice was sweet and coquettish, and Li's heart was moved when she heard it. She said, "What's wrong with that? We grow vegetables on both plots of land at home, and we can't finish them all every day. I'll send them to your house every day when the time comes."

But there are some vegetables that we don’t grow at home, see if you need to buy some.”

Then Sister Li pointed out to Jiang Xing the vegetables that her family didn't grow. Jiang Xing didn't buy any vegetables because of Sister Li's persuasion. Then she bought some eggs, star anise and bay leaves and other side dishes, preparing to make braised pork and stewed beans at noon.

She also bought a medium-sized pot.

After buying the things, Jiang Xi went home chatting and laughing with Sister Li.

On the way home, they heard the little girl crying.

There was a group of people gathered not far ahead, and the sound of a child crying came from the crowd.

Upon hearing the crying, Mrs. Li, who was originally chatting and laughing, immediately changed color and ran towards the crowd.

Jiang Xi also hurriedly followed.

“Daughter!” Sister Li pushed through the crowd and saw a woman holding her daughter. Her daughter seemed to be injured somewhere and her lips were white.
