Jiang Jun heard Ye Qingyin's story about Mo Xiaohui at the dinner table.
"Oh, I don't know what Xiaohui was thinking. She's going to be a stepmother after getting married." Ye Qingyin was really sorry: "Such a big thing, and she didn't even discuss it with me."
Jiang Jun thought that Mo Xiaohui's scheming might be related to Ye Qingyin. Some children have to pretend to please adults, and sometimes they even have to lie to maintain their image as good children.
Ye Qingyin then sighed, "This child has become estranged from me since he joined the army. He calls less often when he returns to Beijing, and he doesn't tell me his true feelings anymore. Jiang, do you know what happened to Xiaohui?"
Jiang Jun shook his head. He knew, but he also had to not know. "I was with her only during the recruit training. We separated after that. Fei knows everything about Mo Xiaohui and I being together."
He kicked the ball lightly in front of Chen Yuefei.
Chen Yuefei said shockingly, "Mom, how dare Sister Xiaohui follow you? When you first walked into the living room with Sister Xiaohui, you looked so disgusted. Sister Xiaohui has become much stronger since joining the army, otherwise she would have cried a long time ago."
Ye Qingyin glared at her son. "What do you know? Strong? I don't want Xiaohui to be strong for something like this! You still don't know how difficult life is. It's not easy to be Xiaohui's stepmother. The girl is only a few years older than her. Xiaohui married me on New Year's Day. It's really sad just thinking about it."
The atmosphere at the dinner table became silent because of Ye Qingyin's sigh, and no one wanted to continue the conversation on this topic.
At critical moments, only Chen Yuanwu would offer some words of comfort: "Mom, Xiaohui has always been very independent. She didn't tell you because she knew you would be sad. She's been married for over half a year and hasn't complained to you about anything. She's clearly living a happy life. You should be happy for her."
Ye Qingyin looked at Chen Yuanwu with mixed feelings, hesitant to speak: "Okay, I'm happy for her."
Forty-five years old, he is on the same level as Chen Zhong in terms of age and rank!
In addition, there are many examples of meritorious leaders who, when they remarried in middle age, chose women who were ten, twenty or thirty years older than themselves. After middle age, they gave birth to two, three, four or five children, which is not uncommon.
I don’t know how Mo Xiaohui’s parents feel about people of the same age who are lacking parents-in-law!
It’s so embarrassing to think about it, and I really don’t feel happy at all.
Jiang Jun intuitively believed that Mo Xiaohui must have married the deputy director for some purpose.
So, that evening, when Jiang Jun was alone with Chen Yuanwu, he couldn't help but ask, "Lao Wu, no, Comrade Jia Baoyu, I want to do an interview with you now, is that okay?"
Chen Yuanwu burst out laughing: "No!"
Jiang Jun rushed over and grabbed Chen Yuanwu's neck: "Okay!"
Chen Yuanwu fought back, pinching Jiang Yun's most ticklish spot with his big hands: "They were just joking, let me explain to you what's going on with Jia Baoyu!
Didn't we have a poetry club back then? Just because I was good at handwriting, they assumed I could also write poetry and insisted on making me the club president. But who knew that during the first event, when the works were judged, my writing was the worst. It was like Master Jia was so angry he wanted to beat Baoyu!
Jiang Jun twisted his body and laughed until he couldn't breathe: "I have no education, don't lie to me!"
Chen Yuanwu's men intensified their movements. "Well, you haven't been to school? You dare to lie to me with your eyes open! Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Jiang Yun smiled and begged for mercy: "Someone come, jump into the well, jump into the well!"
Chen Yuanwu held Jiang Yun down. "Well, I'll go find a rope! Okay, a backpack strap will do, too!"
In Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu is beaten and begging for help. He is tied to a stool with a rope by Master Jia. He has no way to escape or hide. He finally sees a lifeline, but the half-deaf servant girl hears "help me" as "jump into the well". Jia Baoyu finally can't escape a beating...
Jiang Yun discovered that it was indeed terrible that he had less education than Chen Yuanwu. Every time he wanted to dig a hole for Chen Yuanwu, he ended up jumping into it himself, digging deeper and deeper.
Jiang Yun wanted to "interrogate Jia Baoyu", but ended up being severely interrogated several times.
Before falling asleep, Chen Yuanwu read her another hypnotic sonnet.
…
Before leaving, Chen Yuanwu told Jiang Jun, "I'm going to start my shift today. You're at home with my mom. If you want to go see your dad, tell her and ask her to arrange for Dai to take you there."
Jiang Jun was still lying in bed, dazed and unable to tell whether he was in a dream or reality. "If you don't go, I'll stay at my dad's house and never come back."
Chen Yuanwu bent down and bit Jiang Yun's shoulder hard: "If you dare not come back, I will bring you back!"
Jiang Jun gasped in pain, and suddenly came to his senses: "Go to work, your business is more important!"
It hurt so much that Jiang Yun was so angry that he immediately used his ultimate move.
Chen Yuanwu gave her a deep kiss and reluctantly stood up to leave: "Save it and calculate the interest together later! Don't sleep too long, get up and have breakfast with my mom later."
Jiang Yun had no choice but to muster up the energy to get up, put on his clothes, wash up and go to the kitchen.
Dai Yao and Chen Yuefei went to Beijing Foreign Studies University to take the exam. After the exam, they went back to the military academy and would not come back to Siheyuan.
There are only three female generals left in the family. Ye Qingyin cannot do anything, so Jiang Jun has to help with everything.
Ye Qingyin has been in the capital for so many years, and the housekeeper has been taking care of the children for so many years. She has seen all kinds of customs and knows that married women have to go back to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. "Jiang, Dai is out and won't be back until the afternoon. Call your dad later and tell him that I'm taking you to Director Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings today. You can go back to your parents' home tomorrow. I can ask Dai to take you there for dinner before coming back."
Jiang Jun quickly smiled and said, "Our company issued a notice that we have to start work tomorrow, so I called my dad yesterday."
Jiang Yonghua is the head of the Security Section of the Pingcheng Cultural Bureau. He had no time to rest during the New Year holiday. Moreover, Zhao Meilan also came over. Jiang Yonghua didn't want others to know what was going on between him and Zhao Meilan, so he stayed in the duty room of the unit. When Jiang Jun called, Jiang Yonghua answered the phone personally.
Ye Qingyin's expression showed no emotion: "I'm going to call Director Wang now. Go put on some powder and change your clothes. We'll be there in a bit."
Jiang Yun was grateful to Director Wang, and the reason why Su Ruiguo looked at her differently was also because of Director Wang's face and strong recommendation.
"Mom, what gift do you want to prepare?"
"I'm ready, just dress up and go to school."
