Jiang Jun nervously grabbed Gao Shengmei's wrist and pulled it down: "Someone is watching us!"
She also didn't understand why Gao Shengmei liked to touch her so much when she saw her. She liked to give her advice and even more liked to make decisions for her.
People were coming and going in front of the auditorium, and Ye Qingyin was watching from the side.
Gao Shengmei tilted her head to show off to Ye Qingyin: "How is it? Aunt Ye, it looks good, right?"
Ye Qingyin looked over and had to admit in her heart that Gao Shengmei had skillful hands. The braids and bangs she made were very suitable for Jiang Jun's temperament.
But when he thought about Xiao Wu having to cook for such a person, his anger welled up again, and he frowned slightly: "We're listening to a report today. It's such a serious occasion, and you're making such a fuss. Xiao Mei, you have to pay attention to the impact!"
This is an indirect expression of dissatisfaction with Jiang Yun.
Gao Shengmei seemed not to understand: "Auntie Ye, this is not fancy at all, I haven't even drawn her eyebrows or put lipstick on her yet!"
Ye Qingyin almost fainted. This Xiaomei was so stupid. The adults were trying to find a blind date for her, but she still had the mind to dress up others. No wonder one of them had already managed to get her own son done at the age of 18, while the other one, who was the same age as her son, was still not smart.
Jiang Jun heard that Ye Qingyin was unhappy, so he took the initiative to say, "Xiaomei, I'll go sit down first, and you can take Aunt Ye to the front row."
If she waited for Ye Qingyin to speak first, she would be in a passive position.
In order to minimize being noticed, Jiang Jun went to sit in the back row.
Yue Peng had arrived earlier. Seeing Jiang Yun, he moved over and asked, "Why are you alone? Did you bring enough handkerchiefs?"
Jiang Jun was slightly stunned, not knowing why this person was joking with her. She turned her head to glance at Gao Shengmei in the front row, then looked back at Yue Peng and nodded slightly: "That's enough."
No matter who gives the speech in the afternoon, she won't cry.
Yue Peng noticed Jiang Jun had changed his hairstyle and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He then looked up at Gao Shengmei, who was walking in sideways, and greeted her familiarly, "Xiaomei, just got here? Are you getting ready at home?"
Gao Shengmei sat down on the outside of Jiang Yun. Inexplicably, she didn't want to be next to Yue Peng. She glared at him and said, "What should I prepare? What's it to you?"
Yue Peng smiled slightly: "It seems that you are very confident?"
Gao Shengmei pulled the corner of her mouth angrily: "Does my certainty have anything to do with you?"
Gao Shengmei, who has always been generous and enthusiastic, has become a nitpicker. Whatever Yue Peng says, she will retort, and her expression shows all kinds of dissatisfaction.
After listening to their bickering, Jiang Jun looked back at Yue Peng. The latter's interested look made his target too obvious, didn't it?
The lights in the auditorium went out at the right moment. Jiang Jun patted Gao Shengmei gently and said, "Shh!"
Gao Shengmei angrily whispered in Jiang Yun's ear, "Why is this person so argumentative? I've never seen anyone like this before. If we lived together and were neighbors, it would be so annoying!"
Jiang Jun tried her best to hold back her laughter. Judging from Yue Peng's expression, he was determined to win. He just wanted to tease Gao Shengmei.
In the afternoon reports, several soldiers spoke about stories of friendship and mutual help among comrades and between soldiers and civilians, as well as how soldiers used their brains to contribute their wisdom and strength in physical and military training to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
At the end, when the head of the report group was making a summary, he read out the list of winners of the military competition between the various regiments of the military region. The eight soldiers who gave reports on the stage were on the list, and there was prolonged and warm applause from the audience.
All the lights in the auditorium were on, and cheerful military music was playing from the loudspeakers, echoing throughout the venue, its high decibels covering up all other sounds.
The head of the military region presented medals and certificates to all the officers and soldiers of the reporting group and took a group photo together.
Gao Shengmei leaned close to Jiang Yun's ear and said loudly, "Xiao Fei is really good, just like his brother, he has a bright future!"
Yue Peng heard this and started talking again: "Chen Yuefei is a little worse than Chen Yuanwu. He is a little less educated and needs to learn more."
Gao Shengmei glared at Yue Peng: "What's the big deal if I'm almost there? As long as I'm better than you, that's all!"
Jiang Jun quickly raised his hands and spread them apart, stopping the two of them: "It's all good, all great! You're all excellent!"
Gao Shengmei pulled Jiang Jun and was about to walk out: "I don't want to bother with people like that! Xiao Jiang, there's a movie playing in the auditorium later, do you want to watch it? I'll go get some tickets."
Jiang Jun shook his head. "I have to hurry up and get back to Aunt Ye. Didn't you see she was mad at me from the beginning? She was supposed to take me to the capital tomorrow. I don't want her to get mad again and be unable to leave tomorrow."
Gao Shengmei patted her chest with great enthusiasm: "Come on, I'll go with you. I'll speak well of you and make sure she can turn her anger into a smile!"
Yue Peng was listening in from behind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could Gao Shengmei be so naughty with him, but then turn around and act like a caring sister to Xiao Jiang, coaxing and teasing him? It didn't make sense!
Gao Shengmei, the close sister, supported Ye Qingyin as she walked out of the auditorium. Turning around, she saw Yue Peng following closely behind her. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Yue Peng spoke to Ye Qingyin first, saying, "Auntie Ye, do you want me to wait here with you for Chen Yuefei? They're going to pass by here after they finish taking their photos and leave."
Ye Qingyin certainly wanted to wait to see Chen Yuefei again, and then call her youngest son home for a good meal. "Okay, Xiao Yue, thank you for your help!" Turning to Jiang Jun, she said, "Xiao Jiang, go back and help Sister Liu. Commander Gao and Commander Yue are coming to our house for dinner tonight."
Jiang Jun agreed obediently, turned around and walked home.
Gao Shengmei glared at Yue Peng hatefully, then turned around and caught up with Jiang Jun, gritting her teeth and saying, "Humph, I really don't want to sit down and have dinner with this kind of person. Just looking at him makes me so angry!"
Jiang Jun joked, "Luckily it's not your house, otherwise you would have swept him out with a broom."
Gao Shengmei was surprised: "Xiao Jiang, which side are you on? Who are you helping?"
Jiang Jun smiled: "I'm on your side, I will definitely help you! No need to thank me!"
Looking at Yue Peng, he has regular facial features and sophisticated eyes but no evil spirit. He is just the right person to take care of someone like Gao Shengmei who doesn't think deeply about anything.
Jiang Jun is also a person who returns favors. If someone is kind to her, she will always think about repaying them.
When they got home, Sister Liu was busy in the kitchen alone. She asked Jiang Yun and Gao Shengmei to go to the yard to wash and pick vegetables, and to pick some onions from the small vegetable patch in the corner of the yard.
The vegetables planted in the corner were growing well. Jiang Jun pulled a few green onions and stood in front of the loofah rack to look at the loofahs. "I can stir-fry some loofah tonight. Such tender loofahs are the sweetest when stir-fried!"
Chen Yuefei caught a glimpse of Ye Qingyin's dark face and knew his mother's habit. No one else could pick any vegetables without Ye Qingyin's permission. He quickly responded from outside the courtyard gate, "Yes! This loofah is also sweet when eaten raw!"
