The yard was quiet, with a faint scent of osmanthus.
Chen Yuanwu opened the door of his room and let Jiang Yun in.
Aunt Liu, who was sleeping in the small room at the door, heard the door open and quickly ran out to see what was going on.
Chen Yuanwu waved Aunt Liu in, closed the door, and whispered, "Aunt Liu, this is my comrade. She was injured while on a mission. Please help her wash up and find some clean clothes for her to change into."
Aunt Liu nodded quickly: "Okay, I think she is about the same height as Xiaohui, and Xiaohui has a few clothes here, she will definitely be able to wear them."
Chen Yuanwu nodded. "Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll bring someone to pick her up before dark. Shh, don't let anyone know she's here."
Aunt Liu understood: "Okay, keep it a secret! I know! Don't worry, I promise to take good care of you."
When Jiang Jun heard Xiaohui's name, he knew that this must be Mo Xiaohui. When he heard that he would have to change into Mo Xiaohui's clothes soon, he felt resistance and his face gloomy.
Chen Yuanwu turned around and whispered to Jiang Jun: "Don't be afraid, Aunt Liu has been in our house for many years. She is like one of our own family. I was also raised by Aunt Liu."
Jiang Yun pointed to the robe on his body, meaning that he didn't want to wear other people's (Xiao) clothes.
Chen Yuanwu patted Jiang Jun's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohui's clothes are all very nice, they will definitely suit you. Okay, I'm leaving now. If you're tired, take a nap."
The jeep is still waiting outside on the side of the road. It has been parked for so long that it should meet the neighbors.
Jiang Jun watched Chen Yuanwu walk out the door, and he just hated himself for not being able to say anything. He just stood there in a depressed mood.
My body aches and my heart feels uncomfortable!
Aunt Liu closed the gate and quickly went to light the stove with coal balls.
In Aunt Liu's eyes, no matter how confidential the mission or how serious the injury, you have to eat.
Xiao Wu said he wanted to keep it a secret, so he just made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles at home.
The Chen family's dining rules were set by Ye Qingyin. They could only eat in the dining room or the courtyard, and could not eat in the bedroom.
Aunt Liu made breakfast and quietly led Jiang Yun into the dining room. She smiled good-naturedly, "Girl, what's your name?"
When she heard about the mission and confidentiality, she forgot to ask Xiao Wu what his comrade's name was.
Jiang Jun pointed at his throat and shook his head.
Aunt Liu said with a distressed expression: "Ouch, you're badly hurt. Can you hear me? Okay, as long as you can understand what I say. Have some breakfast first. Do you want me to feed you? Can you eat by yourself? Okay, then I'll go boil some water for you to wash."
Jiang Jun endured the inconvenience and pain in his hands, and forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls of noodles and ate all the tomatoes in the noodle soup.
After drinking the hot noodle soup, sweat began to appear on my forehead again.
In autumn in the capital, the temperature is more than ten degrees higher than on the prairie.
Aunt Liu brought over a few clothes and said, "Look, my daughter, these clothes belong to Xiaohui. She has never worn them. You can see the receipt is still here. She has grown taller and can no longer wear them. She said she wants to leave them for Xiaojing. Xiaojing is still young and can't wear them either. I think they should suit you."
There were two shirts, a pair of trousers, and a dress, all neatly folded without any extra creases. It was obvious that they had not been unpacked since they were bought.
Jiang Jun stared at the dress. It was a beautiful beige fabric with small pink and yellow floral prints. It was the most beautiful floral dress she had ever seen in this time and space.
I have so many clothes that I can’t wear them all, and they become too small before I even wear them.
So luxurious!
Jiang Jun felt inexplicably depressed, and the fragrant egg noodles suddenly became tasteless.
Someone outside the yard asked, "Is Director Ye back?"
Aunt Liu glanced at Jiang Jun and slapped her lips, thinking she had spoken too loudly. She quickly closed the door to the dining room and walked out to answer, "Dean Wang, Director Ye and Xiao Jing won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I think the weather is nice today, so I found all the winter mattresses and quilts, washed them, and dried them so they can use them when they come back."
Wang Yuzhen stood outside the courtyard gate, watching Aunt Liu pull half the door open. She waved her hand and said, "I won't go in. I have to go to work. I just heard some noises at your house. When Director Ye comes back, tell her that the thing she asked me to do is done!"
Aunt Liu was pleasantly surprised: "That's great, Director Ye will definitely be happy."
Wang Yuzhen smiled and said, "I'm so happy just looking at her! That girl is so good, she's a perfect match for Xiaowu! Well, go ahead and get busy. I'm leaving now."
Aunt Liu closed the courtyard door, returned to the dining room with a smile, and spoke in a much lower voice: "My daughter, the sun hasn't come out yet. I'll give you a bath first, and then wash and comb your hair when the sun comes out! You haven't eaten many mouthfuls of noodles yet, so eat some more, your wound will heal faster."
Jiang Yun no longer had any appetite to eat.
The people outside were talking so loudly that she could hear them.
Looking at Aunt Liu's expression, it was as if she had found a wife for her son and was about to add a new member to the family.
Is this even necessary? Aunt Liu has been in the Chen family for so many years, and she must have taken Ye Qingyin's will as her own. The girl who is particularly suitable for Xiaowu must be the one that Ye Qingyin wants to introduce to Chen Yuanwu.
Jiang Jun was confused. Didn't Mo Xiaohui like Chen Yuanwu? Why did the Chen family introduce Chen Yuanwu to someone?
Aunt Liu helped Jiang Yun take off her clothes, rolled them into a ball and put them in the basket. She couldn't shake them at all because they were covered in dust.
After changing the water several times and rubbing off a layer of skin, Aunt Liu was finally satisfied: "Hey, finally revealing your true color! I was saying, you look like a fair and clean girl, why did you join the army at such a young age? You are quite tall, thirteen or fourteen? You were specially recruited, right?"
Aunt Liu kept talking as she helped him take a bath and wash his hair. As soon as she saw Jiang Jun, she couldn't hold back her words: "Oh my, there's sand all over your hair. Oh my god, you must have fallen into a sand pit! The sand in the basin has sunk to the bottom and you can't even pour it out."
Jiang Jun was speechless. She sat in the yard, lowered her head and let Aunt Liu wash her hair. The water in the basin was so black that it could reflect her own reflection.
Aunt Liu felt a lump: "Ouch, there's a bump here. Does it hurt? How could your parents bear to let you join the army at such a young age and after suffering so much? You're so handsome, you should be an arts soldier, just like Xiaojing. That would be great."
The sun came out and shone into the yard, bringing peace and tranquility.
Aunt Liu was combing Jiang Yun's hair while nagging, "After washing your hair, don't blow dry it. You have to comb it out slowly in the sun. When you grow up and have your period, don't wash your hair. Use hot water."
Jiang Jun was at a loss for words. Aunt Liu treated her like a child!
Also, what happened to the confidentiality agreement? You keep talking about it!
It was already past nine o'clock when Aunt Liu finished cleaning up for Jiang Yun. "Are you tired, girl? Why don't you go to my room and take a nap?"
Chen Jing is very sensitive. She can notice anything as long as someone has entered the house, even if they haven't touched her things.
Jiang Jun shook her head, meaning that she didn't need to sleep anymore. She wanted to read a book. She had just seen a few books on the bookshelf in Chen Yuanwu's room.
Aunt Liu misunderstood: "Sleeping in Xiaowu's room? That's fine. He only comes back for half a day every month and doesn't rest at home. I'll go get you some new sheets."
