The two mother and daughter were petrified on the spot, even a little bit at a loss.
"Sister Beauty, is he really your husband? But why didn't he say it just now? Mom asked him if the person you were marrying was very old. He said yes. She asked him if he had a bad temper. He said he was average. So mom misunderstood.”
Mrs. Bai was very upset.
"Oh, what have I done? I've offended someone now."
Covering your face secretly, shameless to see others.
"Meng Ning, is he angry?"
Jiang Mengning laughed "Hahaha": "Hahaha, it's okay, he has a good temper, he shouldn't be angry."
But it amused her to death, that guy, when he heard others teasing him like this, he didn't say anything!
An old man is an old man, serious and boring.
Mrs. Bai was still worried: "I'd better go and tell him. It's really a misunderstanding."
Several people entered the house, and Huo Jinyan was already preparing meals in the kitchen.
Who wouldn’t love the virtuous look of a man wearing an apron?
"Meng Ning, how are you going to eat the fish that was delivered this morning? Pickled fish or braised in soy sauce? Do your friends have any taboos?" He is quite good at taking care of others.
Jiang Mengning asked Mrs. Bai and Bai Huiru for their opinions, and they both shook their heads blankly.
She said: "Then let's have pickled fish. It's hot and has something sour to appetize."
"good."
Huo Jin didn't say much. When he got a response, he started to focus on cooking.
This stunned Madam Bai and Bai Huiru.
This man's position is not low at first glance. He still cooks after training and speaks so patiently. What a good man!
A good man is hard to find even with a lantern.
They had a comprehensive understanding of Jiang Mengning's second marriage, which subverted their imaginations.
If Jiang Mengning married this old man, there would be no problem!
This man is worth marrying.
Mrs. Bai went over and said awkwardly: "Comrade officer, I'm really sorry. I really misunderstood just now and said something unpleasant. Don't be angry. Only now do I know that you are Meng Ning's husband. What kind of person are you?" Either way is fine, Meng Ning marries you, that is the blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes!"
Huo Jinyan: "It doesn't matter. Those who don't know are not guilty. You are doing it for Meng Ning's good. I won't be angry."
"You guys go sit outside for a while. There is a lot of fumes in the kitchen."
When he said this, Madam Bai admired him even more.
Upon closer inspection, the more you look at it, the better it looks.
He's too handsome.
Without staying in the kitchen, they went to the main room, where Jiang Mengning poured tea.
Jiang Mengning: "Why did you come suddenly today?"
Mrs. Bai and Bai Huiru were even more embarrassed.
They couldn't say that they came here specifically because they were worried that Jiang Mengying had married an old man for the second time!
Afraid that she would suffer a loss.
It feels embarrassing to say this now.
Although the man was married for the second time, he was really good, but they thought too much.
Mrs. Bai made an excuse and said, "I came today not only to see you, but also to see you for something."
"Meng Ning, do you still remember what I told you about my daughter last time?"
"Of course I remember. What's wrong? She really needs me to help her now?"
"Yes, she has been depressed and crying all day long. I just went to see her yesterday. She has lost a lot of weight. I am worried about whether the child in her belly can be born smoothly."
Pregnant women are very emotional, which can really affect their children.
"Is that so? Madam Bai, don't worry, I'm going to the city tomorrow."
"Really? That's great. With you by her side, I feel relieved. Thank you so much, Meng Ning."
She just believed in Jiang Mengning immensely. Anyway, she felt that as long as she was here, there would be nothing that couldn't be solved.
This feeling is also very strange. She has never trusted her man so much.
While chatting, Huo Jinyan's food was ready.
Mrs. Bai and Bai Huiru stayed to have lunch and then went back.
Jiang Mengning escorted them out of the military area gate.
When she was about to turn around and go back, all the soldiers surrounded her.
"Sister-in-law, who was that girl just now?"
"Oh my friend!"
"Is she married? Does she have a partner?"
"nothing now."
Knowing that there was such a good thing, the soldiers were so happy that they couldn't even see it.
"Sister-in-law, I, I, I... I'm still single. Do you think it's possible to introduce us to each other? Sister-in-law, you are my biological sister-in-law."
"Sister, you are my biological sister, and I also need a wife! That girl is so beautiful, I want her."
"Sister, you are my sister. If anything happens in the future, my brother will take care of everything. As long as you say something, I will go up the mountain of swords and go down the frying pan without blinking an eye. I just ask you, sister, to help me build a bridge. I miss my wife so much. "
"Gungun, who is your sister! If the leader hears this, he will make you run until your legs are weak."
Duan Xiaowu said seriously, and in a blink of an eye he looked at Jiang Mengning humbly: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Xiao Wu! The regiment leader's most proud soldier, the person who is the best at pleasing the regiment commander. I have good health and good mental outlook, and I have no bad habits. , Sister-in-law, see if I can do it."
Jiang Mengning: "..." I didn't expect there to be so many singles in the army!
"Haha, I'm so sorry. I introduced one of you and offended a group of people. Let's forget it! I'm leaving."
She ran away quickly, not giving them a chance to pester them.
Behind him, the soldiers kept wailing.
Why is it so difficult to get a wife?
After returning home, Huo Jinyan was still standing in the yard.
Jiang Mengning was still wondering why she didn't go out.
She gently walked over and hugged the man's waist from behind: "Ha, you are an ugly, old and bad-tempered second-married old man, you have so many titles!"
Huo Jinyan looked back at her, about to say something, but a grandma about fifty years old came out of the room holding Nian Nian.
"Nian Nian is so good. From now on, you will follow grandma. Grandma will love you as much as your own granddaughter." Grandma said kindly.
The blood in Jiang Mengning's body seemed to have solidified, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her limbs, making her tremble with the cold.
He let go of Huo Jinyan's hand and looked at the people following Nian Nian suspiciously.
Huo Jinyan introduced: "Meng Ning, she is the grandma Zhao I told you. I brought her here today to get used to it. I don't know anything about the child. If you have anything to say to her, you can tell her now."
"Grandma Zhao is a very nice person, and she is also attentive to her children. With her here, she will not treat Nian Nian badly!"
Jiang Mengning let out a dull 'hmm'.
I know that this is what I agreed to before, but now that I have really let go, I still feel a lot of pain in my heart.
He forced a smile and gave a stiff smile.
"Hello, Grandma Zhao."
Grandma has a kind face, and she looks like a good person at first glance.
"Hello, Meng Ning, Niannian is so cute!"
Nian Nian ran towards her mother with a smile.
"Mom, Dad said that Mom will go to the city to make money in the future and won't have time to take care of Nian Nian, so she will let Grandma Zhao take care of Nian Nian."
She hugged her mother's leg: "Mom, Nian Nian can't bear to leave you, but my father said that I can't disturb my mother's life, so Nian Nian must be happy."
"Mom, if you go to the city, you should come back to see Nian Nian!"
"Ah! Yes, if you want to go back, I will definitely come back to see Niannian. When I make more money, I will buy a lot of delicious food for Niannian."
"Hehe, thank you mom, mom is so kind."
"Nian Nian is also great, Nian Nian is the most well-behaved."
She picked up Nian Nian and went to explain some things to Grandma Zhao.
At night, Jiang Mengning packed two pieces of clothes and stopped packing.
The things here belong to the original owner. It is not appropriate for her to take them all away. Let her stay here. At least, she cannot take them all away at once, otherwise the children will become suspicious if they see them.
Lying in bed, feeling sleepy, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He sat up suddenly and wanted to find Huo Jinyan.
My hands are twisting the door handle, but I still don't have the courage to take this step.
Why are you bothering him when he's obviously leaving?
You can't be so selfish as a person, you can't have both.
She retreated to the bed and forced herself not to think too much.
The next day.
After a sleepless night, the two of them got up early with a tacit understanding.
"I'll send you there after dinner." Huo Jinyan said.
"Okay." Jiang Mengning went to wash up listlessly.
On the dining table, breakfast is very simple.
White porridge and steamed buns.
The buns were made by Huo Jinyan. They were very fragrant and delicious.
Rarely, Jiang Mengning ate two.
The two of them were silent during the meal, not exchanging a word.
When it was finally time to leave, Jiang Mengning couldn't hold back and went to Nian Nian's room.
The little guy was still sleeping. She kissed the little girl on the face and whispered: "Nian Nian, be good at home. I will come back to see you."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.
The moment the door closed, the little girl was covered in quilt and secretly sobbed.
She doesn't want her mother to make money, but she can't disturb her mother. She wants to be a good baby.
She must not cry.
Jiang Mengning got in the car, and Huo Jinyan drove to the city.
The man glanced at what she was carrying.
"Have you not packed your things? Why did you bring so few?"
"Oh, I didn't want to arouse the children's suspicion, so I didn't bring too much. Huo Jinyan, I haven't told Haowen about my departure yet. He's so old that it's hard to lie to him. Find a chance to talk to him. Come on! That kid is very arrogant, maybe he doesn’t care if I leave!”
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips and said no more.
It's just that it originally took half an hour to drive to the city, but this time he drove for one and a half hours.
When she arrived at her destination, Jiang Mengning found out that the house Huo Jinyan bought was a small second-floor apartment facing the street.
The house looks old from the outside, but the interior is in good condition.
Basic things are there.
The house covers an area of about 120 square meters and has two floors, which is quite large.
The man took the key and opened the door. It was obvious that no one had lived in the house for a long time and it was very dusty.
There is also a faint musty smell.
It should be because it is going to rain. The air humidity is high and the musty smell comes out.
This is easy to handle, just open more windows to get some sunshine and ventilation.
Huo Jinyan opened all the doors and windows, took a broom and simply swept the dust.
Then he took Jiang Mengning to the master bedroom on the second floor.
"This room is big, with big windows and good ventilation. It will have enough room for the clothes you will buy in the future."
There was a window over there that was half broken.
Huo Jinyan went over and fixed it.
The man patted the dust on his hands and turned to look at Jiang Mengning: "There is a very important meeting in the ministry today. If I can't stay longer, I will leave. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."
Jiang Mengning's eyes were a little sore. She took a deep breath, went over, put her arms around the man's neck, and kissed him.
"Huo Jinyan, I'm sorry, can I kiss you one last time?"
