Hu Mingyue came up to Qin Yilan and whispered, "See? Both of them are wearing military uniforms with four pockets. They are both officers."
Qin Yilan's face was distorted with jealousy. She whispered, "I grew up with her. How come I don't know these two people? How come she is so lucky?"
Qin Yilan faced the reflection in the basin, adjusted her hair with her hands, then struck a pose that she thought was beautiful and moving, and walked in front of Xiao Yihan like a willow tree supported by the gentle wind.
She looked at Xiao Yihan lovingly and said, "Jingqiu, why don't I know this Comrade Xiao? Comrade Xiao, how old are you this year? Where are you from? What is your rank in the army?"
Xiao Yihan didn't know Qin Yilan, and seeing her attitude, he was a little displeased, so he moved aside slightly and replied politely: "I am 24 years old and from Jing City. My rank is not high, I am a regular regimental level."
When Qin Yilan heard this, she became even more jealous. How could she not compare to Chu Jingqiu in anything? Chu Jingqiu was better than her in everything, including appearance and ability, and she even found such an outstanding partner.
She wanted to snatch Xiao Yihan away immediately, so she said directly: "Jingqiu is still young, usually not very sensible, and has a bad temper. You have to be more patient with her."
Shi Aihong rolled her eyes at her, and Zhang Pingping retorted, "Why are you spouting nonsense? Jingqiu is such a good girl, but how can you make her sound immature? Do you care about Jingqiu, or are you trying to discredit her?"
Chu Jingqiu didn't want to put on airs in front of Xiao Yihan. She just wanted to show her true self and said directly, "I am indeed very ignorant. If I were sensible, how could I ignore my parents' objections and let you trick me into going to the countryside? If I were sensible, how could you have taken advantage of me since I was a child?
I really need to work on my temper. I need to be a little less irritable. I'm prone to violence when I disagree with someone. So, you've taken a fancy to my girlfriend again. Should I give her to you? I didn't realize you're so shameless."
Qin Yilan's face turned pale and blue when her little thoughts were exposed.
Hu Mingyue quickly came over to help her out. She walked up to Xiao Yihan and said kindly, "Captain Xiao, we are so happy that you can come to our educated youth center. I am Hu Mingyue, the leader of the educated youth center. You can have lunch here at noon. We will treat you well."
Xiao Yihan nodded politely and thanked him.
After Hu Mingyue finished speaking, she pulled Qin Yilan into the house. Lin Zishan whispered, "She only knows how to say nice things. Why don't you contribute something delicious? It's not her turn to cook for lunch today. This is a disguised way of asking us to make something delicious for her."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and whispered to Shi Aihong, "I have a small iron pot. I'll set up a simple stove in the yard and stir-fry a few dishes. You can make an egg soup on the big stove and heat up some steamed buns. Just make a dish for them both."
Then she led Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue to her room. It was Xiao Yihan's first time entering a girl's room. He felt that the girl's room was decorated very warmly and had a faint fragrance.
He and Qi Yue sat down on the edge of the kang. Chu Jingqiu poured them a cup of tea, filled a plate with melon seeds, and then took out a set of chess for them to play with first.
She pretended to take out a small iron pot from the cupboard and walked out.
Zhang Pingping and Shi Aihong had already built a simple stove, and she placed the small iron pot on it. Xiao Yihan wanted to come out to help, but was pushed into the house by Chu Jingqiu.
She took out a piece of pork belly from the space and planned to make braised pork. Zhang Pingping thought she had just bought it from the town, so she didn't ask and helped her cut it into small cubes.
Zhang Pingping is from the south and is particularly good at cooking, so Chu Jingqiu let Zhang Pingping take charge of the cooking. Zhang Pingping contributed some dried beans that she had dried herself and stewed them together with the braised pork.
After the braised pork was ready, Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong helped to prepare other vegetables. They also made pickled cabbage, hot and sour potato shreds, and a dish of braised chicken with potatoes.
Chu Jingqiu took out a dried rabbit and a can of luncheon meat from the space; then he tore open the packaging, secretly threw it away, and put it on the plate.
Lin Zishan brought a can of yellow peaches, and Shi Aihong contributed a can of beef and a can of five-spice hairtail fish.
Several girls filled the table with these dishes. Qi Yue exclaimed: "Your food is really good, such a big table of dishes."
Lin Zishan poured everyone a bowl of egg soup from the main kitchen and brought a plate of steamed buns to Jingqiu's room. The six of them gathered around the table and began to eat.
Qin Yilan and Hu Mingyue had already smelled the fragrance in the yard, and they were waiting to be called to eat. When they heard Lin Zishan calling them to eat, they rushed to the kitchen happily, only to find that there were only steamed buns, egg soup and stir-fried cabbage.
The two knew that several people must have been eating alone. Although they were angry, they couldn't say anything because, after all, it was their own food that they were eating.
After dinner, Xiao Yihan secretly told Chu Jingqiu that the entire human trafficking group had been arrested, and that the enemy spies' purpose in the Northern Province had been learned, and Chu Jingqiu had made an indelible contribution to this.
He applied for commendation for Chu Jingqiu, and his superiors gave Chu Jingqiu a bonus of 500 yuan, which was also recorded in his file, and he was named an advanced educated youth.
I helped the village paint murals and write slogans, and the village gave me a subsidy of 100 yuan, as well as some food coupons, cloth coupons, etc.
In addition to a 100 yuan subsidy and some money for restoring the skull for the county public security bureau, Chu Jingqiu was also hired as a technical consultant on a part-time basis. Whenever the public security bureau needed a portrait of a criminal, Chu Jingqiu would provide them with technical support at any time.
Xiao Yihan handed the reward money and tickets to Chu Jingqiu. The certificate would be given to the Qingshan Brigade so that Secretary Du could publicly praise them.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue were in a hurry to return to Beijing for a meeting. Chu Jingqiu sent them out of the educated youth site. Xiao Yihan asked Qi Yue to drive to the village entrance to wait for him. He and Chu Jingqiu wanted to walk to the village entrance and then get in the car.
Xiao Yihan repeatedly told Chu Jingqiu to write to him. Chu Jingqiu also told Xiao Yihan what she and her grandfather had found out in the cowshed. She asked Xiao Yihan to take care of her family.
After hearing what Chu Jingqiu said, Xiao Yihan thought for a moment and said, "What you said is very important. I will investigate it when I get back. As for protecting your grandfather, he is already a person we protect specially.
Even if you and I are not related in this way, I will still protect Mr. He. He is our family's savior. My mother often tells me that no matter how difficult it is, I must protect Mr. He's family. Mr. He is a good person. "
"My grandpa is your savior. Why haven't I heard him talk about it? What did he do for you?" Chu Jingqiu asked curiously.
Xiao Yihan pinched Chu Jingqiu's pink little face, tucked a strand of her hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ear, and softly told her about the past.
