Chapter 417: Walls Have Ears



Jiang Jun really made a very simple dinner: scrambled eggs with black fungus, seaweed soup, and toasted steamed bread slices.

Her strength had not yet fully recovered, so she could only cook some light meals: "Try the saltiness, I'm not good at cooking."

Chen Yuefei devoured the food without hesitation: "With your cooking skills, you are still modest! If my partner can cook like this in the future, I will be happy forever!"

Jiang Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then your expectations are too low. Aunt Liu's cooking is much better than mine."

Chen Yuefei chuckled, "My requirements are quite high! If she can only cook, she's just a nanny. The person I'm looking for must be both beautiful and intelligent!"

Jiang Jun propped up his chin. "What does it take to be beautiful? What level of education is required to be intelligent?"

Chen Yuefei patted the back of his head. "She doesn't have to be particularly beautiful. I like those with delicate features. The more I look at her, the more beautiful she becomes! She doesn't need a high level of education either. Being able to stay calm and find solutions when faced with difficulties is a sign of great wisdom."

It was obvious that his criteria for finding a partner were based on Jiang Yun, and he was almost naming her directly.

Jiang Jun didn't think Chen Yuefei's conditions had anything to do with him, and even pretended to faint: "Hey, if this woman could also make money, it would be perfect!"

Chen Yuefei nodded in agreement: "It's perfect!"

Jiang Jun slammed the table and said proudly, "Alright, then I'll keep an eye out for you. As soon as I come across someone who fits the conditions, I'll immediately hold onto him for you!"

The two old classmates sat together and seriously discussed Chen Yuefei's future partner. They were talking about their own things, but unexpectedly they managed to connect with each other.

Chen Yuefei waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm still early!"

He has been studying at the infantry school for one year, and he has only been there for half a year. Even if he finishes his studies, he will not be twenty years old yet, so it is too early for him to fall in love and start a family.

Jiang Jun joked, "By the time you realize you should be anxious, it's already too late!"

Chen Yuanwu shook his head firmly: "Jiang Yuan's master said that my marriage will be at the age of 30. No matter who I find before that, it will not work out. Even if I get married, I will have to get a divorce."

"Qu Renjie's?"

"yes."

"Do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it!"

“…”

The topic veered off topic. Jiang Jun thought of the person she had been trying to ignore. She deliberately asked in a casual tone, "Where's Jiang Yuan? Is he still working as a handyman and cooking for the Border Defense Company?"

Over the past six months, every time Jiang Jun failed to reform Li Caixia, he would imagine, if Jiang Yuan were still there, would the way the three of them get along with each other remain the same?

Chen Yuefei answered readily: "If I don't cook there, what else can I do?"

The living conditions of the border defense company were quite difficult compared to the garrison in the capital, but for Jiang Yuan, it was quite a blessing!

Jiang Jun hesitated, "Is he still waiting to join the army?"

Chen Yuefei replied: "Yes, I am working hard now to stay in Beijing, and then I will bring Jiang Yuan here and put him under my command."

He is about to enter a newly established confidential department, which already has many extraordinary people with special skills. Jiang Yuan's photographic memory is a very powerful ability.

The most important thing is that Jiang Yuan’s appearance and height are very unremarkable, making people forget him as soon as they see him.

Such good conditions, after special training, can play a very important role in the research work of the new department.

Jiang Yun was extremely surprised. Was this the saying, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence?" "Huh? You've gained so much power now?"

Chen Yuefei couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Well, the organization saw that I was very talented, so they entrusted me with this important task."

Jiang Jun sighed softly, "That's good! If I could get Jiang Yuan to the capital sooner, I wouldn't have to worry so much when your brother needs support."

Chen Yuefei was even more proud. "Hehe, Yun, let me tell you something. My dad called and told me my brother was critically ill and asked me to come back to see him one last time. I immediately called the border defense company to ask Jiang Yuan about the situation. Jiang Yuan asked about my brother's birthday and told me he was fine. This was a disaster for my brother, and he would be fine in the end. Hehe, that's why I didn't rush back."

When people are at their wit's end, they will grab hold of any life-saving straw.

What's more, Jiang Yuan had successfully predicted several things related to Chen Yuefei, so he had no choice but to believe it.

Jiang Jun's heart was pounding. "Did he pay anything else back?"

Chen Yuefei shook his head. "Jiang Yuan doesn't talk much with anyone in the company. I'm the only one who can pry a few words out of him."

Jiang Jun hadn't heard enough. She had originally wanted to ask more questions about Jiang Yuan to comfort herself for the loss of her childhood. But seeing Chen Yuefei's attitude, the topic of Jiang Yuan was basically over!

She now began to suspect that the Jiang Yuan in the border defense company was not the Jiang Yuan in her memory, but might be a fake Jiang Yuan, just like her.

Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Jiang Jun yawned, said good night to Chen Yuefei, and went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Yuefei got up to sweep the snow in the yard and the alley, greeted the neighbors he knew, and also went to buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks.

When I walked to the door of my house, I ran into Wang Yuzhen.

To be exact, it was Wang Yuzhen who was blocking the entrance to the Chen family compound: "Fei, when did you come back? You bought so many fried dough sticks and such a big pot of soy milk. Are your brothers back? Why are you still holding a broom?"

Chen Yuefei smiled and said, "I came back yesterday afternoon. It was just Yun and I at home. I brought her lunch."

We are a family, so we are open and honest. It doesn't matter who buys breakfast!

Wang Yuzhen didn't think so, mainly because Hong Hao mentioned that Jiang Yun was very likable and got along well with Huang Chunbo.

In the 1970s, in the perception of Wang Yuzhen's generation, any woman who could receive widespread praise from the opposite sex was considered immoral, and whether she was proactive or not, or liked to be liked, was considered immoral.

"Since your brother is not at home, it's your turn to take care of her?" Wang Yuzhen blurted out.

Jiang Jun hired a nanny to cook and do housework at a young age. After the nanny left, Wu started cooking. Now, even Fei, who never did housework in the Chen family, has started to do housework.

Jiang Jun originally wanted to walk out of the yard to join the neighborhood committee's voluntary snow-clearing action, but as soon as she opened the door, she was caught in a dilemma by Wang Yuzhen's honest words. If she continued to stay in the house, she would appear even lazier, and if she went out into the yard, it would be awkward for all three of them.

Then I heard Chen Yuefei: "Auntie Wang, the word 'serve' can only be used for the hateful landlords and the evil old society. You are randomly accusing my sister-in-law of this. If she is criticized, I will fight for her!"
