Chen Jing didn't care: "Mom, what's the big deal? Sister Yun retired early, isn't she living a good life now?"
As long as you have talent, you will have a chance to succeed. Your parents' network of connections is so strong that when you come back from studying abroad, you can choose a good job for yourself!
Ye Qingyin was dissatisfied with this comparison: "How can you be the same as Jiang? Her discharge from the army was a special case, and you are already being valued in the unit. It's not easy to write a discharge report."
Chen Jing suddenly had an idea: "Mom, I have a good reason. You are not in good health, and Sister Yun is not in good health. I will retire from the army and come to you to take care of you."
Ye Qingyin immediately rejected it: "That's not a valid reason. We have always hired a nanny, so why would I need you to take care of me? Jiang is so young, how could he get seriously ill?"
Chen Jing nodded seriously: "Mom, I'm not lying to you, it's true. Wasn't the phone line at the courtyard down a few days ago? Sister Yun got sick a few days ago. When she went to the hospital, the doctor said her stomach problem was very serious. If she didn't have surgery, her life would be over."
Ye Qingyin was shocked. She had never heard of surgery for common gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastric bleeding. It seemed that only cancer required surgery. "Don't listen to nonsense. Dean Wang called me this morning and said Jiang had gone to work."
Chen Jing emphasized: "It's true. Sister Xingxing has seen it too. Sister Yun can only drink liquids now. She has become extremely thin!"
Ye Qingyin was suspicious: "Why didn't Dean Wang come with me? I thought she was well. How can she bear to go to work when her health is so poor?"
Xiao Xingxing added, "Jiang is quite ambitious and doesn't want to delay her work. But fortunately, someone cooks and washes her clothes for her, and the caregiver is very considerate, so Jiang shouldn't be too tired. Anyway, Jing, Weiwei, and I all think that Jiang is good except that she looks a little thin."
Chen Jing said angrily, "Sister Xingxing! Then I have no better reason to retire early!"
Ye Qingyin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "If you want to retire, go ask your dad and find another excuse. You're a healthy person, don't make up an excuse like you're sick. If you really get sick, it will be terrible!"
Chen Jing was anxious to get her parents' approval and was especially eager for Chen Zhong to come back: "Mom, remember to speak up for me in front of my dad later! Sister Xingxing, if my dad comes back, please help me with the situation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
When mentioning Chen Zhong, Xiao Xingxing was still hesitant and didn't dare to go deeper into the topic of Jiang Yun's illness, for fear of accidentally letting something slip.
Perhaps the Chen family didn't know the severity of Jiang Yun's illness, and if things continued to develop like this, it would be more beneficial to her.
Xiao Xingxing weighed the pros and cons and wanted to leave early: "Aunt Ye, when will Uncle Chen come back? Jing and I have to rush back to the capital. Our company has a regular meeting every morning."
Ye Qingyin was not sure that she could convince Chen Zhong, and thought it would be better to delay the matter. After a while, Chen Jing might have other ideas.
While the mother and daughter were discussing, Guard Dai called to report that the city would be under martial law starting at 7 p.m., and asked family members not to go out at that time.
That’s it, Chen Zhong won’t be back tonight.
Xiao Xingxing took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Jing, let's go first, we can still get back to the capital before dark."
The best thing would be to go to Jiang Yun again and see if there are any changes?
Women, once they have something in mind, will use all their brains to think of ways to do it, and even hope for luck and not be afraid of taking risks.
Little did they know that the telephone line in the courtyard had been connected and Chen Yuanwu had already called home.
In order to prevent Chen Yuanwu from paying attention to his condition, Jiang Yun asked the visitor: "Old Wu, do you still remember Xiao Xingxing?"
Chen Yuanwu was stuck, not knowing why Jiang Yun specifically mentioned this person: "She was my middle school classmate. Did anyone tell you anything?"
Jiang Jun was very surprised. Something seemed amiss: "She came to your house to see you!"
Chen Yuanwu was regretting his wrong words. It would have been enough to just say they were middle school classmates. Why did he add another unnecessary question, making himself look so guilty: "Why did she come to see me?"
Jiang Jun suddenly felt like playing a prank: "She dated you before, so she probably came to catch up with you."
Chen Yuanwu almost bit his tongue and calmed himself down: "Don't listen to her nonsense. I have never dated her. She was just joking."
What was particularly interesting in that era was that whether in college, at work, or in the neighborhood, as long as the unmarried young men and women were of similar age, appearance, or educational background, there would be kind-hearted people who would eagerly pair them up.
Jiang Jun snorted, "Great! How dare you call me blind!"
Chen Yuanwu broke out in a sweat as he realized Jiang Jun was joking with him. Luckily, he couldn't see his expression through the phone. "Jun, I finally found an opportunity to call and ask about your condition, and you actually still have the mind to joke with me! If I get punished, I won't even be able to call you anymore!"
Jiang Jun continued to hum, "If I'm not kidding, I'll miss another big secret! Tell me the truth, does Mo Xiaohui like you?"
Chen Yuanwu avoided the question: "I still have one minute. Are you sure you want to let me go?"
Jiang Yun heard that Chen Yuanwu's tone seemed to be angry, so she pouted and kept silent.
Chen Yuanwu looked at his watch and saw another half minute had passed. He could only apologize first: "Okay, Yun, I have to leave right away. I will find a way to call you again as soon as possible!"
This mission might take more than a month, but Chen Yuanwu didn't want Jiang Jun to worry, so he tried to downplay it.
Jiang Jun's aggrieved feeling came back. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She wanted to hear Chen Yuanwu say nice things to her and make her happy more and more, as if that would make her feel at ease. However, when she spoke to the phone, she couldn't speak like before and ask Chen Yuanwu for sweet words with a smile.
Chen Yuanwu didn't hear Jiang Yun's answer. The assembly whistle outside had already sounded, so he could only hurriedly hang up and say, "Yun, goodbye!"
Hearing the beeping sound coming from the microphone, Jiang Jun immediately regretted it: "Lao Wu, I miss you!"
Unfortunately, the phone was disconnected a long time ago.
Li Caixia ran to open the door in the yard and told Jiang Jun loudly: "Teacher Jiang, Teacher Chen is back and has brought guests with her."
Jiang Jun walked out of the living room with a frown. Li Caixia had already been told not to yell, so why didn't she remember?
As expected, Chen Jing looked at Li Caixia impatiently and said, "What are you shouting about? With just one shout, the whole alley will know that we have guests!"
