Cheng Jingmo didn't understand what a picnic was, so Yu Xiangnian explained it.
Cheng Jingmo thought to himself that no one would want to go with us, but he still went to Dong Minghao's house to ask with the attitude of giving it a try.
He and Dong Minghao joined the army in the same year and have always been in the same regiment. The two of them get along pretty well.
Dong Minghao’s family has two sons, who are about the same age as Xiaojie, and they often play together.
Cheng Jingmo came to Dong Minghao's house and asked Dong Minghao's family to have a picnic in the mountains. He also explained the meaning of picnic.
Dong Minghao frowned and looked at him, "There are fairies in the mountains? Are you addicted?"
Cheng Jingmo said honestly: "Yu Xiangnian is not happy because she didn't eat rabbit meat. I will catch rabbits tomorrow, and she also wants to play in the mountains."
"What about your rabbit?"
"I met Comrade Wu at the gate of the family home and gave it to her."
Dong Minghao scolded, "Why didn't you give her the chicken? You don't know that the eldest lady in your family loses her temper and the whole family house trembles!"
"I didn't know she wanted to eat rabbit."
Dong Minghao said: "When I ask my wife if they want to go, I probably won't want to go. Who wants to play with your wife?"
After a while, Dong Minghao came out and told Cheng Jingmo, "My wife and the others also want to go. When will they go out?"
Cheng Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "Nine o'clock."
After Cheng Jingmo left, Dong Minghao asked his wife Wang Hongxiang, "Why did you agree? What if that evil woman has nothing to do again tomorrow and you are wronged again."
Wang Hongxiang was mending her child's trousers, "Deputy Commander Cheng has come to make an appointment with us. Shouldn't we give him a face? Besides, I see that Yu Xiangnian has been very good to Xiaojie these days and treats Xiaojie every day. Those who cook and do laundry are no longer what they used to be.”
"But why did his family think of going to the mountains to play?" she asked again.
Dong Minghao explained the reason.
Wang Hongxiang laughed, "Yu Xiangnian doesn't want to eat the rabbit, she is jealous!"
Dong Minghao didn't believe it at all, "It's more reliable to say that she eats people than she is jealous!"
Wang Hongxiang said: "What do you, a big boss, know? Think about the previous relationship between Cheng Jingmo and Dr. Wu. He gave her the rabbit. Yu Xiangnian must not be happy!"
Dong Minghao said: "Is she still not happy? Then Dr. Wu is better than her in every way!"
Wang Hongxiang asked, "Can Dr. Wu be as good-looking as her?"
Dong Minghao also couldn't deny that Yu Xiangnian was indeed good-looking, "What's the use of finding someone good-looking to live your life!"
When Cheng Jingmo returned home, he thought of Captain Xiao's house next door, and knocked on the door again with the attitude of giving it a try.
Captain Xiao has two girls and a boy in his family, both of whom are about the same age as Xiaojie.
Unexpectedly, Captain Xiao’s family also agreed.
Cheng Jingmo never slept in, so he got up at the same time the next day.
After he steamed the rice, he packed two large lunch boxes, fried ten poached eggs, and mixed in a cold cucumber.
There was nothing else at home, and he had made as much as he could.
Then, he started cooking noodles for breakfast, and then went to wake Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie up.
He mixed the braised chicken that he had not finished yesterday into the noodles. Xiaojie had eaten a chicken leg yesterday and there was still one leg left. He put it into Yu Xiangnian's bowl.
Yu Xiangnian picked out the leg and gave it to Xiaojie, and then ate a bowl of noodles himself.
Cheng Jingmo thought she was still angry, but in fact Yu Xiangnian had stopped being angry a long time ago and simply didn't want to eat.
Cheng Jingmo put the prepared things into the basket and poured a full army kettle with cold boiled water. Yu Xiangnian also put all the toffee left at home in it and found a clean white cloth to put inside.
Just like that, three families, six adults and six children, each carrying their prepared things, went for a picnic on foot.
Except for Yu Xiangnian, no one had ever had a picnic.
Liu Zhen asked Xiao Tuanjie, "Old Xiao, do you think this picnic is the same as when we do farm work in the countryside and bring food to eat?"
Xiao Tuanjie said: "It should be about the same."
The child was very excited, playing and laughing all the way.
After walking for more than an hour, everyone found a piece of flat land and decided to have a picnic here.
Yu Xiangnian took out the piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, asking everyone to put things on the cloth.
Liu Zhen said distressedly: "Comrade Yu, it would be a waste to use such a good cloth for cushioning."
Yu Xiangnian didn't care about a piece of cloth and said with a smile: "As long as it's useful, it's not a waste."
The children had run away to play long ago. The adults drank some water and took a rest. The three men went to catch game.
The children of Captain Xiao's family heard yesterday that Cheng Jingmo and Dong Minghao had game at home, and they were clamoring to eat it.
Cheng Jingmo saw several rabbits but didn't catch them. Dong Minghao and Xiao Tuanjie were already carrying two rabbits each.
Dong Minghao scolded him, "You caught a rabbit and picked it?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I have to catch the same rabbit as yesterday."
Speaking of this, Dong Minghao remembered what Wang Hongxiang said yesterday. He said: "My wife said that Yu Xiangnian didn't want to eat the rabbit, but was jealous."
Cheng Jingmo was stunned for a moment, "Don't talk nonsense."
Dong Minghao chuckled, "You must be secretly happy! But I remember you were dumbfounded when you first saw Yu Xiangnian!"
That happened almost two years ago.
They had just gotten off work that day and met Yu Xiangnian who was just like Xiang Yang after getting off work at the gate of the army.
They often heard Yu Xiangyang talk about how beautiful his sister was, and everyone laughed at him for bragging.
Only when she saw her in person did she realize that Yu Xiangyang was not bragging. His sister was really beautiful, just like a fairy!
She was wearing a red Bragi that day, her hair was braided into two braids on her chest, her oval face was white and slender, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyes were the most beautiful, affectionate and pretty, and she knew how to look at people at a glance. It's like taking away a person's soul.
Everyone present was shocked, especially Cheng Jingmo, who had never looked at a girl before, and was dumbfounded.
Yu Xiangyang proudly introduced to them, "This is my sister, Yu Xiangnian."
Everyone greeted Yu Xiangnian, but Yu Xiangnian glanced at everyone arrogantly and said perfunctorily: "Hello." Then he pulled Yu Xiangyang away.
Cheng Jingmo still had the same tone, "Don't talk nonsense, that's because I've met her before."
He waited for a long time and finally spotted a rabbit. He moved very quickly and quickly caught the rabbit.
After thinking about it, I went to catch another chicken.
Yu Xiangnian didn't eat a bite of the chicken yesterday.
The three of them returned to the picnic ground carrying the game.
Yu Xiangnian was lying on the grass under the tree, with his hands behind his head, one leg straight and the other bent, a piece of grass hanging in his mouth, humming a song that Cheng Jingmo had never heard of.
Cheng Jingmo brought the rabbit to Yu Xiangnian, "The same rabbit as yesterday."
Yu Xiangnian didn't expect Cheng Jingmo to be so serious and catch exactly the same rabbit.
She hasn't seen yesterday's rabbit, so just catch one and trick her.
Seeing Cheng Jingmo's serious look, Yu Xiangnian wanted to tease him again.
She was still lying on the ground and asked lazily: "Didn't you say you wanted to catch the twin brother of yesterday's rabbit?"
