Jiang Jun had a rare moment of free time, so he slept in. He waited until Ye Qingyin went out to work and the nanny went out to buy groceries before he slowly got up.
When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Chen Yuefei rocking in the rocking chair in the yard.
Jiang Jun was surprised: "You didn't leave yesterday?"
She thought no one was home and was still in her pajamas, so it was too late to go back.
Chen Yuefei looked up at the sky comfortably, still smoking, and didn't even look at her: "Just got back."
"Oh!" Jiang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, went back, closed the door and changed clothes.
She was really tired. She had a dream again last night. She cried and shouted in the dream, and the crying in the dream woke her up.
She had no choice but to act like an ostrich and pretend to sleep in to avoid having to listen to Ye Qingyin's lecture early in the morning.
If Chen Yuefei was really at home, he had such sensitive ears that he might have heard it. If she asked about it, she would feel very embarrassed.
Jiang Yun changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to make breakfast again.
Before she could ask politely, Chen Yuefei came over and sat down. "I didn't want to leave last night because I was afraid my mom would cry, so I went out to stay with my comrades. Everything about their house is good, except the food."
The smell of the pancake wrapped with green onions was so strong that even smoking couldn't cover it up, so he just drank a bowl of white porridge.
Jiang Yun looked at the breakfast the nanny had left for him. "There are some steamed buns. I'll slice them and toast them, and spread some honey on them for you. Can we have them as Western food?"
Chen Yuefei patted the table lightly: "Of course! It's a pity that there is no milk at home."
Jiang Jun smiled: "Then wait a little longer."
The ingredients and seasonings at home can be used to make borscht, which is also great with toasted steamed bread slices.
Chen Yuefei looked at Jiang Jun's back and said, "Xiao Jun, when you were in school, you ate like a cat, licking your food mouthful by mouthful. You were so skinny that I thought your mother didn't give you food. Later, when you joined the army, you still only drank soup and water. I wondered how you could run and hold a gun."
Jiang Jun still smiled: "You have to chew food slowly and thoroughly to appreciate how delicious it is."
Chen Yuefei shook his head: "I haven't tasted it yet. As long as the order of knife and fork is correct during the meal, it's a victory."
Damn it, something that can be done with a pair of chopsticks must be done with a knife and fork. The forks are divided into three-tined and four-tined types, and they can be placed upside down, lying down, on the left or on the right, and the meanings are all different.
Jiang Jun smiled: "I think your mother and your brother can do it."
Chen Yuefei propped up his chin and said, "My dad criticized them before. He said why they had to hold the spoon with their right hand when drinking soup. Can't they use their left hand? I laughed along at the time. I never thought I would end up like this!"
Jiang Jun brought out breakfast. "Actually, there's another way to eat Western food. At home, if there are no elders or outsiders around, you can eat these toasted steamed bread slices with your hands."
Chen Yuefei picked up the bowl and drank the soup: "It's better to use a bowl. I'm not used to drinking soup from those big flat cups."
Jiang Jun laughed: "I thought you wouldn't be used to medium-rare steak."
Chen Yuefei made a gloomy face. "Of course I'm not used to it! When we were in school, we had to steal food from the fields. We would catch rabbits and birds in the woods, but we had to roast them before eating them. Eating raw meat was so primitive. Don't you think?"
Jiang Jun sat down and tasted the borscht. "My version isn't authentic. The last time Colonel Dave visited the army, the chef they brought with them made it. That was amazing!"
Chen Yuefei asked: "My dad said that you get along well with that girl in their family, just like two sisters."
Jiang Jun lowered his head and smiled slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Jenny's family is very famous in Europe. Jenny's grandfather is the main operator of their family."
In an era when transportation and communication tools were not yet popular, whoever had the most developed and complete communication tools meant that they had the fastest response ability and the most powerful control power.
Dave's family's business is very large. Different people are in charge of different industries and it covers many European countries. If you are not the most central manager of the family, you don't even know how big the family's business is, or even that your competitors are also family companies.
Jiang Jun didn't know what kind of job Chen Yuefei did, nor did he know what kind of useful information he could provide to help Chen Yuefei, so he tried to reveal a little bit.
Chen Yuefei asked, "Their family is engaged in business, not prominent in politics."
Jiang Jun said, "This is their brilliance. They are the ones manipulating things behind the scenes. Those prominent figures are just speaking for them."
To put it bluntly, whoever has money has the opportunity to run for election, and whoever has more money will make it to the end.
In capitalist countries, public opinion is just a foil.
Chen Yuefei was surprised: "Did that girl tell you this?"
Jiang Jun nodded gently. "Not entirely. She told me about medieval Europe, where many small and medium-sized countries used marriage to strengthen cooperation and consolidate their own national security and stability. I think this is similar to what your brother told me about ancient history, where small countries would send one of their sons as a hostage to a larger or friendly country. It's the same principle."
Chen Yuefei paused: "So, do you think I should be a proton?"
Jiang Yun looked at him jokingly, "Your father isn't the emperor. The most you can do is arrange a marriage. The worst-case scenario is becoming a live-in son-in-law. But I think with your abilities, you can lure someone back home."
Chen Yuefei burst out laughing, his face flushed red: "Such a serious matter, you are so old-fashioned!"
Jiang Jun himself found this analogy quite amusing: "If your mother heard this, she would definitely agree with me!"
She could see that the brothers Chen Yuanwu and Chen Yuefei were truly filial to Ye Qingyin, and were more than a hundred times more sensible than Chen Jing.
Chen Yuefei sneered: "Tsk! Xiaojun, you're still speaking for my mother! Don't you think she's a little different now?"
People of this generation didn't know about female menopause. Chen Yuefei just felt that his mother had become sentimental, anxious and irritable, and not as easy to coax as before.
To be honest, he is not as willing to make his mother happy as before.
He himself felt that it was childish to act like a little boy and act like a naughty boy in front of his mother.
Jiang Jun laughed: "I see the same thing!"
To her, her mother-in-law is her mother-in-law, and even if the two of them have something in common, it is difficult for them to get close to each other.
Chen Yuefei clicked his tongue: "I can't tell, my brother has taught you a good lesson."
He had seen Jiang Yun's aggressiveness and cunningness, and was worried that Jiang Jun would quarrel with his mother.
He even secretly wondered, if a fight really came to this, who would his brother help?
Jiang Jun snorted softly, "It's better not to teach her any more. You'd better find a wife your mother likes."
If she is willful, Chen Yuanwu will not be able to educate her and will just be caught in the middle.
