Jiang Yun, who was acting as a temporary parent at home, was too lazy to say anything at this moment.
As soon as Jiang Lan got home, she started to complain and make a fuss with her. She coaxed her with a few words, and Jiang Lan started to play with her again.
Since her parents are not at home, she, as the older sister, should coax and take good care of her younger sister.
However, Jiang Lan's temper was almost a replica of Zhang Xiuying's. Once she got angry, she would not listen to anything, no matter what was said.
The cause was something so trivial that it couldn't be any smaller. Jiang Jun and her friends were playing table tennis at home during the day and broke the only two table tennis balls they had. Jiang Lan came back and saw them closing the door panels, but she didn't catch any of the balls, so she pouted and was unhappy.
After Jiang Jun and the other classmates had left, he rolled his eyes at Jiang Lan, yawned, and left the steamed buns warm in the pot. He then went back to his little room, bolted the door, and left Jiang Lan to sulk on her own!
She had something on her mind, and she didn't understand the army or military affairs, so she was already a little crazy. At this time, not only did no one talk to her and help her calm down, but she had to cheer up and coax the unreasonable Jiang Lan. It was a good thing that they didn't lock Jiang Lan up in a small dark room to reflect on herself!
When the wake-up call sounded again, Jiang Jun stretched and walked out of the room to wash up.
"Jiang Lan, shall I buy you some meat buns today?" As long as Jiang Jun had enough sleep, he would be in the mood to do housework and take care of Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan had been ignored all night, and finally her sister took the initiative to speak. She forgot all her awkwardness and jumped up immediately: "Sister, can you buy some milk?"
"If you do your homework this week, I'll buy you a milk cake next Sunday." Jiang Jun doubled his promise and took the opportunity to reason with him: "Next time you have any requests, just let me know. If I can do it, I will definitely treat you twice as well. If you can't, don't get angry. It's just the two of us at home, so we have to talk it over. If you throw a tantrum like you did last night, you can go find Mom and she'll come back from work to take care of you!"
Jiang Lan nodded obediently: "Remember, sister, I will never lose my temper again!"
Jiang Jun glanced sideways and said, "Say this ten times!"
Jiang Lan repeated it ten times obediently, then happily followed her sister to buy breakfast. She began to chatter again, "Sister, I heard there's a performance today, specially for the soldiers. Brother Chen is really awesome, still hanging around with those actors. Do you think he'll remember to give me a photo of a celebrity? I wonder if it'll be big or small. Where do you think it'd look good hung?"
Jiang Jun was speechless. Calling him "Big Brother" was so affectionate. Even his lips had become sweet for the sake of chasing stars. He was completely familiar! It seemed that being keen on posting celebrity photos and posters was a label for boys and girls from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad. "If there weren't any, would you be angry?"
Jiang Lan smiled flatly: "Sister, I'm not angry anymore! Hehe, I'm just asking, hehehe."
Jiang Jun hummed and said, "The boy is teachable. That's pretty good."
When they arrived at the bicycle shed in front of the cafeteria, Jiang Lan lingered and refused to leave, looking around.
Jiang Jun understood immediately. Little brat, still hoping for a chance encounter. "Let's go. It'll take a week for the studio to develop the photos. They just took the photos yesterday, how can they give them to you right away?"
Jiang Lan knew her sister's words made sense, but she felt she had to ask in person to feel at ease: "Sister, you said Brother Chen will definitely not forget what he promised, right?"
Jiang Jun parked his bike and led Jiang Lan to the cafeteria. "Xiao Lan, why are you so distrustful of others?"
"Huh?" Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment, then caught up with Jiang Jun, feeling a little aggrieved: "Sister, why do you believe him? I'm just afraid that he'll see me as a child and tease me."
Jiang Jun was annoyed: "He is a man of his words, and he will definitely do what he promised. If he is like Uncle Qian, he is just teasing you! Okay, stop asking, you wait here, I will be out in a while." He was chattering. It would have been better if he hadn't brought him out.
I went to the cafeteria several times to get food, and it was always eerily quiet. People who knew each other just nodded to each other, and ate in silence. It was completely different from the lively scenes of talking and laughing that Jiang Heng's crew had filmed.
When they lined up at the window, Jiang Jun pointed at the meat buns with soup oozing out of them, made a "two" sign, then pointed at the steamed buns and made a "ten" sign.
Everyone nearby was wearing military uniforms, and she was the only family member. She was too obvious a target, so she simply kept silent. Anyway, the cook who served the food could understand her gestures.
The more she didn't want to talk, the more the cook wanted to tease her: "Who are you? Why aren't you wearing a military uniform?"
Jiang Jun wanted to roll his eyes, but held it back. If it wasn't a family member, who would come here to get food?
The head soldier looked at Jiang Yun's flushed face and found it amusing. He said, "If you don't wear a uniform, you won't get any food."
An officer standing behind Jiang Yun laughed, "Xiao Shi, stop teasing me. Xiao Jiang is the daughter of Deputy Section Chief Jiang. If she gets powerful, you're no match for her!"
Jiang Jun looked back and saw the man who had watched her play table tennis. She quietly thanked him, "Thank you, uncle!"
The cook handed the steamed bun to Jiang Yun and said to the officer with a smile, "Secretary Shen, we have soy milk today. Would you like one?"
When Jiang Jun heard the word soy milk, he couldn't help but look back at the window.
Soy milk mixed with condensed milk has a high protein content and helps to restore physical strength, especially when you can’t buy or afford chicken or fish!
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring a teacup, so I could only look.
The head cook, Xiao Shi, looked at Jiang Jun and suddenly asked, "Xiao Jiang, do you want some soy milk? I have a bottle here. I'll give you a bottle. Just return it when you get lunch tomorrow."
Finally, a girl came to get food. She was pretty and shy, so it would be a shame not to tease her.
Jiang Jun turned around and nodded. "Do you have milk? One bottle of milk and one bottle of soy milk, please?"
Xiao Shi was happy that a girl was willing to talk to him. He had to ask for help. "Wait a minute. I'll get you a bottle after I finish making these meals."
There weren't many people in the officers' mess, and each of them had a sharp look in their eyes. Each of them looked at Jiang Jun calmly.
Jiang Jun kept his composure, stood aside, and looked back calmly.
Xiao Shi deftly took two empty soy sauce bottles and, like an oil seller, filled them with soy milk and milk using only a large spoon. He also reminded her, "If it tastes good, I'll save some raw soy milk for you tomorrow."
Jiang Jun smiled and gave a thumbs-up, then reached into his pocket to take out some money: "How much?"
Xiao Shi: "A total of ten cents!"
At this moment, Chen Yuanwu arrived and stood behind Jiang Yun. He watched Xiaoshi show off his bottling skills with cold eyes, and then attentively handed the bottle of milk and soy milk out of the window.
He didn't even bother making breakfast. He handed the lunch box to Xiao Shi, reached for the bottle, and shook his head at Jiang Jun: "Let's go."
