Jiang Yonghua felt that he had finally contributed his strength to his daughter.
No matter how capable or resourceful he is, as a father, he still has experiences worth learning from when it comes to family stability.
Jiang Jun looked at Jiang Yonghua's carefree attitude with a mixture of laughter and tears, and was too lazy to correct him. In her subconscious, Jiang Yonghua always needed her encouragement and motivation, and he didn't have much fatherly authority in front of her.
But Jiang Yonghua's words also reminded her.
So after getting off the plane, Jiang Jun didn't go to thank Luo Haixiang and Xu Xinyang alone. Instead, he took Jiang Yonghua with him and said, "Thank you very much! When are you free? My dad wants to treat you to a simple meal."
As a result, Xu Xinyang was even more enthusiastic than Luo Haixiang: "Xiao Jiang, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Let's do it today!"
It seems that everyone can say that Jiang Dad is a soldier.
Luo Haixiang was the more rational one. He knew Jiang Jun had important work to do and was emotionally unstable, so he stopped him and said, "Xiao Jiang specially accompanied Uncle Jiang back to the capital for medical treatment. Let's visit him another day."
This was the excuse that Jiang Jun and Luo Haixiang had discussed, and it could reasonably explain why Jiang Jun was in a hurry to return to the capital.
Xu Xinyang suddenly remembered: "Look at me, I was so happy to see Xiao Jiang that I forgot everything."
Jiang Yonghua felt particularly embarrassed. He had received a favor from someone, but couldn't return the favor. He felt bad: "I'll definitely treat everyone to a meal in a couple of days."
It seems that apart from being able to cook, there is nothing else he can do in return.
Xu Xinyang was so rude: "Alright, let's do it in two days. Chief Jiang, we can't drink alcohol while flying. Just make something casual. We are not picky about food, so anything is fine with us."
Jiang Yonghua nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then it's settled."
After leaving the airport and getting on the special car back to the city, Jiang Yonghua realized under Jiang Jun's gaze that he and Xu Xinyang and others were talking so familiarly as if they had known each other for a long time, but they had already made an appointment for dinner when they met for the first time.
Hey, where's the reservedness you promised me?
What about the certain distance that people should maintain between each other?
"Oh, Xiaojun," Jiang Yonghua smiled unnaturally, "Being a soldier is just straightforward."
Jiang Jun also smiled and looked out the car window silently.
When all the passengers got off the bus at the Friendship Hotel, Jiang Yonghua asked, "Xiaojun, are you going back to the Armaments Department or the Siheyuan?"
Jiang Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the courtyard."
She had to go back to the unit early the next morning to submit the materials, and there were some things she still wanted to discuss with Ye Qingyin first about how to tell her boss.
Anyway, they would only meet one day later at Chen Yuanwu's place at most. If she came back by train, she would be several days later.
Moreover, when Jiang Yonghua returned to her own home, she had to sleep on the floor, while if she lived in a courtyard house, there would be guest rooms.
Jiang Yonghua didn't think so. Seeing his daughter's hesitation, he became more convinced that his guess was right. The couple must have had a quarrel and didn't want him to see it in front of him. "Didn't you bring some delicious food for Yuanwu? Let's give it to him first."
He got up early in the morning, took his lunch box and went to the Weimin Restaurant on the corner to buy some soup dumplings, especially for Chen Yuanwu to try.
If the couple wants to reconcile, they have to find a reason, right?
He always felt that his daughter was too unwilling to bow her head. Since they were all family, the girl had to bow her head first.
But he didn't dare say this out loud, for fear that his daughter would get angry with him.
Jiang Jun was still hesitant: "Dad, how about you help me send it over?"
She was unsure and uneasy about her work.
She didn't want to appear worried in front of Chen Yuanwu.
It would be best to finish all the work matters and appear in front of Chen Yuanwu in a relaxed manner, so as to avoid Jiang Yonghua's nagging.
Jiang Yonghua was decisive this time and made the decision right away: "Let's go, go back to your own home! Yuanwu is worried about you and told me to go to his place as soon as you get back! It's getting late, the last bus is at six o'clock, let's not waste time."
Jiang Yun had no choice but to follow Jiang Yonghua back to his home.
It took about ten minutes to get from the bus station to the equipment department, so Jiang Jun took advantage of this time to think about how to tell his boss when he went to work tomorrow.
Seeing Jiang Jun deep in thought, Jiang Yonghua tried to persuade her, "Xiaojun, are you tired? I'll take the luggage, and you can just carry this bag; it's light. I also bought some ham, so I can make some ham and vegetable noodles later. Yuanwu must not have eaten well while living in the office, so he needs to eat some more."
Jiang Jun shook his head listlessly: "I'm not tired, I'm thinking about work."
If she doesn't think about what to say at work tomorrow, she will have no time to think about it when she gets home. She doesn't believe that Chen Yuanwu didn't eat well. If he catches up, it will be a hassle for her.
Just thinking about it makes me feel like I can’t walk anymore.
Jiang Yonghua coaxed her a few times: "Xiaojun, it's time to get off work, don't think about it. Didn't we agree to switch positions when the time comes?"
Jiang Jun's thoughts, which had just been cleared up, were interrupted, and he was a little impatient: "Hasn't it been changed yet? If you want to change it, you have to do it well before you have the confidence to bring it up!"
Jiang Yonghua remained silent. When his daughter spoke in this tone, she was not targeting anyone but the matter, and she didn't care about any relatives.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the equipment department's family compound. The person standing guard was a new soldier who didn't recognize the Jiang family father and daughter. "Who are you looking for? Identification!"
In fact, from the gate, you can see the bungalow where Jiang Jun originally lived. Director Niu and his wife, who had quarreled with Jiang Jun, were hanging clothes on the corridor in front of the door. You can greet them loudly, come over and tell the gatekeeper, and then you can go in.
Jiang Jun didn't want to deal with these two people. He took out his house key and shook it: "I live here!"
The new soldier didn't know what was wrong with his brain: "Who knows if you picked up the key?"
Jiang Jun pointed at Jiang Yonghua's old military uniform and asked, "This suit wasn't stolen, was it?"
The young soldier said foolishly, "It's also possible to wear someone else's old clothes."
Jiang Yonghua said in a gentle voice: "Comrade, we..."
Coincidentally, Chen Yuanwu appeared in their sight, holding a basketball and chatting and laughing with several people. It was obvious that he had just finished playing basketball and was about to have dinner.
Jiang Jun glared at the young soldier and shouted angrily, "Chen Yuanwu!"
With a click, the young soldier fixed his bayonet and said to Jiang Jun, "What are you yelling about? Go away! If you make trouble again, I will be rude to you!"
When Chen Yuanwu heard the familiar voice, he turned around and saw Jiang Jun, as if in a dream. He threw the basketball and ran towards the gate, leaving behind the ridicule of his comrades.
"Dad!" Chen Yuanwu greeted Jiang Yonghua first, then grabbed Jiang Jun's arm, smiling happily: "Xiaojun! You're back! Don't be angry, something happened in the yard yesterday, so everyone has increased security."
Then he waved and told the little soldier: "This is my dad, and this is my lover, we'll get to know each other later!"
