When Yu Xiangnian came home, he saw two strings of pipa on the table and asked Xiaojie, "Where did the loquats come from?"
Xiaojie, who was playing in the house, turned his head and without saying a word, he went to play in the courtyard outside the house.
Yu Xiangnian felt a little baffled.
Xiaojie's attitude was even colder than the first two days she came here!
However, after this period of time together, hasn't their relationship already eased?
Yu Xiangnian walked into the kitchen again, "Cheng Jingmo, why did you come back so early today?"
Cheng Jingmo was as usual, "The army asked me to go home and tidy up before setting off to hunt wolves in the mountains tomorrow morning."
Yu Xiangnian was happy, "So, you don't have to be punished?"
"Don't know yet."
"Then how long are you going?"
"Come back after hunting the wolf."
"How many of you are going? Will Yu Xiangyang go too?"
"Go, five."
"Then be careful."
Cheng Jingmo cooked three dishes, fried cowpeas, braised eggplant, braised pumpkin, and a spinach soup.
Xiaojie ignored Yu Xiangnian at the dinner table. Yu Xiangnian said, "Xiaojie, what did I do to make you unhappy?"
Xiaojie didn't answer.
Yu Xiangnian added: "You are a man. If you have something to say, just say it. If you hold it back like this, it makes me feel uncomfortable too."
Xiaojie still didn't speak, so Cheng Jingmo explained to him, "Xiaojie picked loquats and sent them to you, but no one was found."
Cheng Jingmo said it so obscurely that Yu Xiangnian naturally didn't expect that Xiaojie had seen what happened between her and Ding Yunfei, and thought that Xiaojie was really unhappy that he couldn't find her.
Yu Xiangnian smiled and said, "That's it. Then I thank you. Auntie loves fruit the most. Next time, you can just take it home and we can eat it together."
Cheng Jingmo changed the subject, "I'm not sure how many days I'm going to go this time. Could you please take care of Xiaojie?"
In the past, he would have entrusted his comrade Dong Minghao's family to take care of him. But considering Yu Xiangnian's recent behavior, would she be unhappy if he entrusted someone else to take care of Xiaojie?
That's why he asked this question.
"Do you still need to ask? If you're not at home, I'm the one taking care of him!" Yu Xiangnian paused and then said sheepishly: "Then can you make more buns tomorrow? I'm afraid I won't have time to make breakfast. , just eat the hot steamed buns.”
"Well, then I'll give it three days. It will go bad if left for a long time. When you get up, open the damper of the honeycomb stove, and then put the steamed buns on it to steam. After washing, the steamed buns will be hot. In the next few days, You can go to the cafeteria to get some food, or cook some noodles."
Cheng Jingmo added: "Xiaojie's clothes don't need to be changed every day. Wear them for two or three days and then change them. When I get home, they will be washed together. You don't need to wash them either."
Xiaojie has four pairs of clothes. If he wears them for two or three days, he can wear them for a week.
In a week, he should be able to complete his mission and go home.
Cheng Jingmo took out all the money and tickets he had and put them on the table. "Go and buy whatever you want to eat. If you have anything, you can ask Captain Xiao next door to help. Other comrades and family members will also help." Just ask.
It was the first time that Yu Xiangnian heard Cheng Jingmo talk so much. The man who was always taciturn suddenly became a mother-in-law, and she found it very funny.
She laughed and said, "Cheng Jingmo, do you think I can't take care of myself? I'm just lazy and don't want to do it, but if I do it, I can make flowers! Also, keep your money, I said, no When it comes time for money, I’ll ask you for it.”
Cheng Jingmo only felt that her smile was dazzling. He avoided her gaze, lowered his head and continued eating.
When getting ready to go to bed at night, Yu Xiangnian came to the main room to drink water and saw Cheng Jingmo still busy in the small courtyard, probably loosening the soil for the vegetable plot.
At this time, she saw the halo of light above his head again.
After disappearing for a week, the circle of light appeared above his head again.
Yu Xiangnian still couldn't figure out what was going on. She drank water and looked at the aperture in trance.
Suddenly, a ferocious wolf appeared above the aperture, and the wolf rushed towards him with its fangs spread.
With a "clang" sound, Yu Xiangnian was so frightened that the vat in his hand fell to the ground.
The scene was so real, just like watching a 3D movie, the wolf seemed to be really jumping on her.
Cheng Jingmo heard the sound and quickly walked into the house.
Seeing Yu Xiangnian's face turned pale, his body standing there stiffly, and his hands still maintaining the gesture of drinking water just now, he quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Xiangnian calmed down when he saw Cheng Jingmo, but the aperture disappeared again.
But what was she going to say?
She couldn't say that she could see the halo and the wolf. Cheng Jingmo would think she had a mental problem.
Cheng Jingmo looked at Yu Xiangnian's dull eyes, as if she was frightened. He stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, "Yu Xiangnian, what happened?"
Yu Xiangnian turned around in a hurry and staggered back to the bedroom.
She sat on the bed, her mind confused.
Will that scene actually happen? How was she going to tell Cheng Jingmo? Will Cheng Jingmo believe her?
What if this was just her imagination, would she mislead Cheng Jingmo if she said it?
After not sleeping well all night, he appeared in front of Cheng Jingmo with two dark circles under his eyes the next day.
Cheng Jingmo could tell that she didn't sleep well, but he didn't understand it all night. What could be at home that would scare her?
Yu Xiangnian had been thinking about it for a long time and decided to speak out so that Cheng Jingmo could pay more attention.
"Cheng Jingmo, I dreamed last night that you were going to hunt wolves."
Cheng Jingmo looked at her with doubts in his eyes.
Yu Xiangnian told what he knew about wolves, "A wolf pack generally has four to eight wolves, and there is a pair of wolf kings. It is late May, and there may be young wolves. Their nests are average In the cave, the wolves are very smart and have a keen sense of smell. They can smell your scent from several kilometers away. The woods in the mountains are so dense that it is difficult for you to spot the wolves, but it is easy for them to spot you."
Cheng Jingmo was surprised that Xiang Nian, a noble young lady, actually knew the wolf so well.
Thinking about it again, is Yu Xiangnian worried about him by saying so much?
Impossible, Yu Xiangnian won't worry about him!
"I grew up in the mountains and know the habits of wolves. If there are only five of us, nothing will happen." He thought for a while and finally said this.
"The wolf I dreamed about last night is missing its left ear. Be careful with this wolf!"
When the wolf pounced on her, she clearly saw that a large gap was missing from its left ear.
Yu Xiangnian's first sentence was serious, and the next sentence was half-joking: "Look out for wolves with missing ears. I want to see if my dream is accurate."
After breakfast, we went to work.
Before leaving, Yu Xiangnian said: "Cheng Jingmo, you have to be careful."
After the two got married, Cheng Jingmo went out on missions five or six times. This was the first time that Yu Xiangnian told him to be careful.
A strange feeling flowed through his heart, as if his heart had been pinched by a big hand, it was a little painful and warm.
"Yeah." He said calmly.
"I will take good care of Xiaojie, don't worry."
