Yu Xiangnian asked: "Going to perform a mission again?"
"It's a competition in a war zone. We have to go to Jincheng. It may take more than half a month to come back."
Yu Xiangnian knew that every year, each war zone would select the best soldiers to gather in a certain place and hold a competition.
Cheng Jingmo has won the Army Competition for several consecutive years. He has not only gained face for himself, but also for the Southern War Zone.
Yu Xiangnian was also happy for him, "That's a good thing. Tomorrow is Sunday. Let's have a good farewell meal for you!"
"Um."
Cheng Jingmo was worried in his heart whether Yu Xiangnian would change back to his original self when he came back this time.
On Sunday morning, Cheng Jingmo rode his bicycle, with Yu Xiangnian sitting behind him and Xiaojie sitting on the big bar in front, and they entered the city together.
The three of them first went to a state-owned hotel for breakfast. Yu Xiangnian had a bowl of noodles, and Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie had a bowl of noodles and a meat bun.
Yu Xiangnian was worried that Xiaojie was full!
Then, the three of them went to the vegetable market to buy fish, ribs, and some side dishes.
Cheng Jingmo bought another thirty kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of corn grits, and five kilograms of oil.
He had to prepare rations for them during his absence.
Yu Xiangnian watched Cheng Jingmo carrying large and small bags on his shoulders.
There were only three people riding that bicycle, so where to put all those things?
"Cheng Jingmo, you bought so many things when you first came here. How are we going to go back later?"
Cheng Jingmo had already thought about this problem. He said, "You and Xiaojie are waiting for me in the department store. I will send these things back first."
"It's such a hot day to run around." Yu Xiangnian said unbearably.
"It's okay, you go to the department store and buy whatever you like."
Cheng Jingmo tied these things on the back seat, got on his bicycle and sent the things back.
Yu Xiangnian took Xiaojie and started shopping again, eating candied haws, popsicles, and sour plum powder.
On the way, she saw a rice stick seller and bought another bag of rice sticks. When she saw a soda seller, she bought three more bottles of soda.
Finally, he came to the department store and bought a can of malted milk and two handkerchiefs.
The malted milk is for Xiaojie and the handkerchief is for Cheng Jingmo.
Yu Xiangnian found that Cheng Jingmo was quite particular. He always carried a handkerchief in his pocket and washed it every day. The original color of the handkerchief was no longer visible.
The weather was so hot that when Cheng Jingmo arrived at the department store, his forehead and temples were sweating, and the white shirt on his back was soaked with sweat.
Cheng Jingmo took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat and asked, "Have you bought it yet?"
"I've bought it." Yu Xiangnian took out two square folded blue and black plaid handkerchiefs and handed them to Cheng Jingmo, "These are for you."
Cheng Jingmo was stunned. He lowered his eyes and looked at the handkerchief, with unknown emotions surging in his eyes.
After a moment, he took it, "Thank you."
"It's such a hot day, let's go home quickly."
Yu Xiangnian walked forward, not paying attention to Cheng Jingmo behind him. He looked at her with hot yet restrained eyes.
When they got home, the three of them were sweating profusely, especially Cheng Jingmo, whose back was soaked through.
The first thing Yu Xiangnian did was to turn on the electric fan, and he immediately felt cool.
Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie washed their faces and hands under the faucet outside the house, then went back inside and each took a sip of cold water.
Yu Xiangnian reminded them from time to time not to drink raw water, and neither of them drank raw water in front of Yu Xiangnian.
Of course, when she was away, the two of them could still drink at their convenience.
The dinner was very sumptuous, including braised fish, pork ribs and lotus root soup, fried green beans, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a vat with soda in it was placed in front of each person.
Yu Xiangnian raised his bowl and said, "Come, let's clink glasses and wish Comrade Cheng Jingmo a great success in this competition and win the championship in one fell swoop!"
The three of them touched the vat and each took a sip.
Cheng Jingmo said with some embarrassment: "Everyone is very good, but I may not be able to win the championship."
Yu Xiangnian said carelessly: "I'll just say one thing. Don't put pressure on yourself. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. Just do your best."
Cheng Jingmo thought that if he could win the championship, more people would see his excellence, which would be beneficial to his future development and give Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie a good condition.
Xiaojie vowed: "Uncle, you will definitely get the first place!"
Yu Xiangnian looked at Xiaojie and narrowed his eyes, "I heard from Da Ya that you got 18 points in the math test this time?!"
Xiaojie still didn't understand the importance of studying, so he held his head high and said confidently: "Da Ya only got sixty-five points, and Dong Jiannan only got sixteen points!"
Dong Jiannan is Wang Hongxiang’s eldest son.
Yu Xiangnian nodded with a smile on his face, "It's hard for an ordinary class to train two of you two Crouching Dragons and Phoenix chicks, and it's hard for your teacher too!"
Cheng Jingmo laughed out loud, Xiaojie still couldn't understand the meaning of Yu Xiangnian's words.
Yu Xiangnian pursed her red lips and said, "You're still smiling! You have to take care of Xiaojie's studies. In the future, society needs knowledgeable and educated people."
Her soft voice was full of complaints, as if she was being coquettish, and even Cheng Jingmo's heart softened. He said in a calm voice: "Okay!"
Yu Xiangnian said to Xiaojie: "From tomorrow on, you will study with Duoduo and Guangming. If you don't understand, I will teach you."
Cheng Jingmo heard the overtone of the words and asked, "You want to take Xiaojie back?"
Yu Xiangnian said: "I was just about to tell you. You went out, and Xiaojie and I were alone in the house. It was deserted. I took Xiaojie back to live for a while. There were many people and Xiaojie was with us. Play."
In fact, Yu Xiangnian doesn’t want to cook!
When she thinks about having to cook three meals a day, her head feels big!
When she goes back to her own home and has a nanny to cook and do laundry, she can do her translation work in peace and quiet.
Cheng Jingmo didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
the other side.
Ding Yunfei bought two pounds of pork and two pounds of liquor and came to Bai Mei's house.
Bai Mei's condition for apologizing to Yu Xiangnian is that Ding Yunfei come to her house for a meal and apologize to her in person.
Bai Mei dressed up specially today, wearing a yellow Braji, her hair was tied into two braids and fell on her chest, and she also put a layer of powder on her face.
She was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, cooking several dishes: stir-fried pork with sauerkraut, tiger-skinned green peppers, stir-fried pumpkin, cold lotus root slices, and also cooked a chicken, filling a large pot.
The two younger brothers at home couldn't help but drool when they saw how sumptuous the meal was today.
Then he saw a man in military uniform sitting in the hall, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you our brother-in-law?"
Brother-in-law?
Ding Yunfei frowned, he wanted to be someone else's brother-in-law.
No matter how well Baimei dresses up, she can't compare to Yu Xiangnian, not to mention that Yu Xiangnian has such a good family.
"Your sister and I are colleagues." Ding Yunfei was afraid that they would not understand what his colleagues meant, so he added, "We are comrades who work together."
At this time, Baimei's parents came back from working outside.
Bai Mei and her mother looked at each other meaningfully.
