"Tell the truth, what did you and your sister-in-law do at the regiment headquarters today?"
Bai Chuan felt that Meng Jiu'an's mood in front of him was so good that he couldn't believe it. Something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Meng Jiuan replied lightly: "Submit the divorce application."
"Sister-in-law agrees to divorce?!" Bai Chuan said in shock.
"She agrees."
"Really divorced?" Bai Chuan still couldn't believe it.
"No divorce."
"Hey! You Meng Jiu'an, can you breathe so loudly when you talk?!"
Bai Chuan stroked his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
After being quiet for only three seconds, he suddenly asked a question in confusion:
"Wait a minute, so you are so happy now, is it because your sister-in-law agreed to the divorce, or because the marriage has not been divorced?"
Meng Jiu'an, who was always sharp-tongued in front of Bai Chuan, couldn't find an answer to this question for a while, and his relaxed brows began to become entangled again.
Bai Chuan was curious but couldn't get any results all the way, and even made Meng Jiu'an impatient.
"Which of your eyes has seen me happy? You talk so much! If you keep making noises, get out of here!"
Baichuan was silent for a second, and then suddenly realized: "That's not right, this car is mine, and you have to get out if you want to!"
Meng Jiu'an ignored him and drove home with an iceberg face on his face.
Yu Changle heard the movement of a car outside the hospital and knew that Meng Jiu'an was back and was about to go out to help carry things.
Unexpectedly, Yu Changxi moved faster than her, and just asked: "Is my brother-in-law back?"
The next second, the figure had already rushed out of the door.
Yu Changle only thought it was funny. She knew that Yu Changxi admired his brother-in-law, but he couldn't be so arrogant.
Since Yu Changxi was there to pick them up, she took out three pairs of dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, poured a basin of hot water and placed them next to them.
Soon the voices got closer and closer, and Yu Changle suddenly heard another familiar voice:
"Great! When you start school, I will come to your school to play with you!"
"What are you playing for? Changxi is here to study, so don't disturb him."
"Don't bother me. I'll show you around our school after class and treat you to the cafeteria!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Yu Changle looked towards the door, and sure enough he saw Bai Chuan putting his arm on Yu Changxi's shoulder and walking forward behind Meng Jiu'an.
"Baichuan is here."
Yu Changle greeted warmly. In her heart, she always felt that Baichuan people were nice people and she had never looked down on anyone.
Bai Chuan responded with a smile: "Come to have some food, sister-in-law."
"See what you said, if you come as a guest, I will welcome you with both hands."
Yu Changle joked with him freely, while taking the lunch box from Meng Jiuan's hand, turned and entered the kitchen.
Meng Jiu'an felt that Yu Changle was different at this time. Why was her tone so relaxed and cheerful when talking to others, but so strict when talking to him?
Yu Changle cleared the dishes in the kitchen and took an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that Meng Jiuan was still stunned, he reminded him:
"Pour hot water at the door, wash your hands first, and then eat."
"good."
Meng Jiu'an responded unconsciously before coming back to his senses. He saw Bai Chuan smiling strangely at him and frowning:
"What are you laughing laughing?!"
Bai Chuan leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Okay, Captain Meng, you are very obedient!"
The words were like a piece of dogtail burrowing into Meng Jiuan's ears, making him itchy and his ears suddenly turned red.
Pushing Bai Chuan away, he warned him in a low voice: "If you talk nonsense again, you will stop eating!"
Baichuan smiled with a clear face and said nothing. He had already eaten enough melon today!
Yu Changxi looked at the table of meat dishes and white-flour steamed buns, and was so shocked that he couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, this is too expensive for you."
The most he ate in his hometown was multigrain wotou with scallions or multigrain noodles. During the holidays, his aunt would boil eggs for him. He would only get meaty meat when there was a happy event or during the Chinese New Year. How had he ever seen such a battle before!
Yu Changle also frowned. After eating these plates of meat and white-flour steamed buns tonight, all the meat he had lost through hard work had grown back.
She stood up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll make two side dishes."
Yu Changxi hurriedly advised: "No, sister, that's enough, don't do it anymore."
Meng Jiu'an was also a little confused. Why did she frown when she bought meat and vegetables to entertain her brother? Is it a three-piece suit that comes with disappointment rather than hospitality?
He didn't realize that he felt regret for a moment, regretting not getting out of the car and going back directly to buy her favorite food.
Yu Changle moved very quickly, smashing cucumbers with minced garlic and frying vegetables on the table quickly.
While waiting for Yu Changle to cook, Bai Chuan thought about it and remembered that he still had half a bottle of unfinished wine in his car, and immediately stood up to get it.
Now the meat, vegetables, wine, and steamed buns are all on the table!
Seeing that the three of them were relatively shy, Bai Chuan stepped forward without hesitation, raised his glass and said:
"Come on, let's all raise a toast. Let's take the first cup to welcome Chang Xi and welcome him!"
Meng Jiu'an glanced helplessly at Bai Chuan. This man was not stopping anywhere, but seeing that Yu Changle was already raising his glass with a smile, he had no choice but to follow suit and drink it down.
Before he could put down the glass, Bai Chuan picked up the bottle and started pouring it again.
"This second cup, we celebrate Changxi and congratulate him on getting admitted to university and having a bright future!"
Chang Xi was so moved that he immediately stood up and held a wine glass to toast him. Yu Changle was also happy for him and actively responded to Bai Chuan's call and picked up the wine glass.
Meng Jiuan stared at the wine in the glass, frowned slightly, raised his head and took a sip.
"Third cup, we thank Lao Meng and sister-in-law for providing this sumptuous dinner, giving us the opportunity to gather together to laugh, make new friends, and never forget old friends..."
Before Bai Chuan finished speaking, Meng Jiu'an couldn't help it anymore: "Are you done yet? The food is already cold."
Only then did Bai Chuan smile sheepishly: "Okay, cheers! Everything goes without saying!"
After three glasses of wine, Bai Chuan sat down contentedly for the time being, his face already starting to turn red.
Yu Changxi's face was even more alarmingly red, and he looked like a cooked prawn. He started chatting with Bai Chuan in high spirits, not at all like the cautious person he had been when he first arrived.
It was not easy to get into college. It was rare for him to be happy, and Yu Changle was happy to see him so relaxed and happy.
Yu Changle, who was already slightly tipsy, glanced at Meng Jiu'an quietly and saw that he was still sitting upright and his face was as usual. He secretly thought to himself that a soldier must have a good drinking capacity!
A few people chatted while eating, of course, mainly Bai Chuan and his siblings chatting, while Meng Jiuan just listened and concentrated on eating.
When Bai Chuan asked him, he just answered, still looking like a man of few words.
After three rounds of drinking, even Yu Changxi, who was a little afraid of Meng Jiuan at first, completely let go. He held Meng Jiuan's hand and refused to let go:
"Brother-in-law, besides my sister, the person I am most grateful to in this world is you!"
"Because you love my sister, you are good to my sister, and you are good to me!"
"You don't know how worried I was that you would be estranged because of me when I was in my hometown. If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to learn this lesson!"
"..."
Yu Changxi took advantage of the drunkenness to express all the worries and gratitude that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.
Meng Jiu'an felt a little moved and a little guilty after hearing this, because he was not as good as he thought, and even today...
He put all these unspeakable words into the wine glass and drank it one bite at a time.
In addition, Baichuan is a talkative person, so it took more than two hours to finish the meal without satisfaction. By this time, it was dark outside.
Yu Changle, who was still sober, felt troubled. He told Meng Jiu'an that he had agreed to move out today. Who knew that Chang Xi would come to his door at this time? What should he do?
