The gaze from above was scorching, and Shi Qi quickly finished the dumplings on his plate under Gu Chijin's inquiring gaze.
After eating the dumplings, Shi Qi didn't even look at Chi Jin, and took the empty bowl back to the kitchen to clean up.
Hearing the sound of running water, Gu Chijin suppressed his suspicion and quickly finished a large bowl of dumplings.
Shi Qi finished cleaning the kitchen and came out to see that Gu Chijin had finished eating. He glanced at him before taking the bowl away.
After putting the washed dishes into the cupboard, Shi Qi looked at the beautiful red flower bowls in the back of the cupboard and reached out to take them out.
"I'm going to Sister Jiang's house to return the bowl. You should go to bed early."
After saying hello to Gu Chijin, Shi Qi thought for a moment and went back to the kitchen to make thirty dumplings, including the ones that had not been cooked just now, and took them out together.
Gu Chijin didn't say anything, nor did he stop him. He sat there with his back straight, watching Shi Qi pack up and go out.
After everyone left, Gu Chijin stood up and went back to his room to change the medicine for his wounds.
As soon as I returned to my room and sat down, a man's loud voice came from outside the yard.
"Gu Chijin, Gu Chijin!"
It’s Jiang Chen.
"The door is not closed, just come in." Gu Chijin heard his comrade's voice, removed the gauze on his hand, did not move his body, and raised his voice to shout.
Jiang Chen strode into the room with the supplements his leader had given him. He was immediately shocked by the Gu family's current appearance and started shouting:
"Hey, Gu Chijin, did you hire someone to clean your house?"
Looking at the clean tables and chairs and bright windows in the house, Jiang Chen sighed:
"The last time I sent you back, your house was such a mess that you couldn't even step foot in it. Even a rough guy like me couldn't stand it.
Tsk tsk tsk, it’s still better now, it looks like a home now.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen walked towards Gu Chijin's room. Seeing Gu Chijin applying medicine, he quickly put down his gift and stepped forward to help:
"Let me do it, let me do it. You're already in this state, why is there no one to help you?"
After looking around, Jiang Chen cut a piece of gauze to bandage his wound and asked him in a low voice:
"Where is your wife again? Your leg is so badly injured, and she's not at home to take care of you?"
Speaking of Gu Chijin's wife, Jiang Chen sighed for him:
"Today, the boss specifically asked about your leg. I wanted to say a few words about your wife, but I was afraid of implicating you, so I didn't finish my words."
Gu Chijin's face was gloomy. "It's okay. Tell your superiors not to worry. I'll be back in the army in two months at most. As for Shi Qi, we'll get divorced as soon as my leg heals."
Jiang Chen was shocked:
“Are you okay?
You will be competing for promotion with Zhang Jiandong soon. Do you want to divorce her at this critical moment and give up your future?
The boss asked about you today and praised you in every way.
If nothing unexpected happens, you will be promoted from company commander to deputy battalion commander almost certainly in this selection.
No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until after the selection before leaving!"
Jiang Chen and Gu Chijin have trained together in the army for many years and are well aware of Gu Chijin's ambitions.
I know best how big his ambitions are and how many years he has worked hard to wait for this opportunity.
As a close friend, he didn't want to see Gu Chijin's years of hard work go to waste because of an incompetent wife.
Gu Chijin was silent. Jiang Chen was right, but what he had experienced in the past few days made it unbearable for him even for a moment.
Thinking back to a few days ago when Shi Qi ran away with another man with the money, Gu Chijin's chest was filled with anger.
When a man's dignity was challenged, he didn't raise his fist, which shows his strong self-control.
Seeing that Gu Chijin didn't say anything, Jiang Chen became anxious:
"Gu Chijin, don't make any mistakes at this critical moment. If you don't get promoted this time, you'll have to wait for several more years."
Gu Chijin knew that Jiang Chen was doing this for his own good, so he nodded in appreciation.
"I'll think about it for two days."
Jiang Chen scratched his head, afraid that Gu Chijin would act impulsively:
"What are you considering!
What is there to consider!
If you really don't want to stay with Shi Qi, I will discuss with the leader and take you back to the army to recuperate."
Jiang Chen was so worried that he even came up with the idea of asking Gu Chijin to move to another place to recuperate.
Gu Chijin shook his head. He was not such a coward that he would go to the army to recuperate just to avoid a woman. If this got out, how could he still lead the troops?
Gu Chijin refused without a second thought: "No, I have to recuperate at home."
Seeing that Jiang Chen wanted to say something, Gu Chijin interrupted him directly:
"Even if I really divorced Shi Qi, the leader wouldn't be biased because of this. Leading and training soldiers mainly depends on personal qualities and combat capabilities, not on marital relationships."
Jiang Chen snorted, knowing that Gu Chijin was a stubborn person, so he said nothing more and changed the subject to other things.
"By the way, Zhang Jiandong has a new recruit named Qu Feng who has excellent overall physical fitness. During yesterday's team training, he single-handedly defeated more than a dozen veterans, which really made Zhang Jiandong very proud."
"New recruits? This year's?" Gu Chijin was also leading the troops, and he habitually paid special attention to outstanding new recruits.
Jiang Chen cut in:
“Well, this year, after the training match, I went to look at his information.
He has an ordinary background, but he is very skilled, especially in shooting training, where he never misses a shot.
He doesn't look like a novice, but more like a veteran who has been training for seven or eight years."
Gu Chijin became interested: "Really? Then I'll go and have a look after I return to the army."
If Shi Qi heard what they said, he would definitely spit in their faces.
This new recruit is certainly very capable. Qu Feng is the male protagonist in this period novel and the author's favorite.
Grow up and become Gu Chijin's strongest opponent.
Gu Chijin was forced to become the villain, and the male protagonist was the pusher in the middle.
It was because Gu Chijin accidentally caused the heroine Jiang Yuanyuan to lose her job in the art troupe, which made her targeted by Qu Feng. She missed promotion opportunities many times, and she ended up on the wrong path due to several resentments.
However, Shi Qi was completely unaware of the matter concerning the male protagonist Qu Feng. At this moment, she was returning the dumplings and bowls she had brought to Bai Xiaohua.
Seeing that Shi Qi was so polite and even brought dumplings, Bai Xiaohua smiled widely.
"Sister Shi, please sit down quickly. I'll go wash two peaches."
Shi Qi stopped Bai Xiaohua. She came to return something, not to eat other people's fruit.
These days, food is very precious. Shi Qi didn't want to take advantage of others for no reason, so he declined politely:
"No need, sister-in-law. I'll just sit for a while and leave. My husband is the only one at home, and I want to go back early."
Seeing that Shi Qi was acting strangely, Bai Xiaohua put on a sullen face and pretended to be angry:
"Sister, are you making excuses like this? Are you dissatisfied with the poor quality of the things at my sister-in-law's house?"
Shi Qi was helpless: "Everything in my sister-in-law's house is top-notch, how could I possibly dislike it?"
"That's all." Bai Xiaohua glared at her. "Sit down for a while. I'll be back soon."
Bai Xiaohua got up and went to the kitchen to wash peaches, while Shi Qi sat there without getting up.
The host was not around, and she stood up and looked around. It was so rude.
After four or five minutes, Bai Xiaohua walked out of the kitchen carrying four or five peaches.
"Come here, sister Shi, this peach was sent to me by my dad. It's called a honey peach. It's so sweet. Come and try it."
Putting the biggest one into Shiqi's hand, Bai Xiaohua laughed again:
"When you go back later, bring two back for Captain Gu."
