Su Yi, upon hearing that Zhou Jinchuan’s hand was injured, immediately found the iodine from the cabinet in the living room.
She turned to Ye Xiaowu and asked, “Is it serious?”
“It looks a bit scary, but Uncle said it’s fine and doesn’t need medicine. Otherwise, Sister Su, go and persuade him. He’ll definitely listen to you.”
Hearing this, Su Yi couldn’t help but glance at the study.
Only then did she realize that Zhou Jinchuan hadn’t gone out today and was still in the study.
Moreover, Zhou Jinchuan had already seen her.
Su Yi couldn’t pretend not to see him, so she went over to the study and knocked on the door with the iodine in her hand.
” Commander Zhou, Xiaowu said your hand was injured.”
Zhou Jinchuan looked up, “It’s nothing, just a little scratch.”
Su Yi went over and took a look, and sure enough, it was just a scratch.
“It’s cold now, if you don’t treat it, it’s easy to get frostbite, and the wound will heal slowly. It’s best to disinfect and bandage it.”
As expected, as soon as Su Yi finished speaking,
Zhou Jinchuan obediently extended his hand, “Alright then!”
Su Yi was stunned for a moment before quickly opening the bottle and disinfecting his wound.
She then found some gauze and wrapped it around his hand a few times, habitually tying a bow.
“Commander Zhou, how did you get injured?”
She clearly remembered that he was fine last night when she left.
Could he have scratched his hand in just a few steps?
Zhou Jinchuan smiled, “It’s nothing, I bumped into Deputy Company Commander Qin last night. He said he couldn’t sleep, so I accompanied him to the training ground for a while.”
Su Yi pursed her lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to, so she just held it in.
[I was wondering why Qin Yunfeng’s face was bruised today, so that’s what happened!]
[What a pity, I wasn’t there at the time.]
Zhou Jinchuan was drinking water and almost choked.
Su Yi quickly asked, “Battalion Commander Zhou, are you okay?”
Zhou Jinchuan coughed lightly, “I’m fine. Are you coming with me for lunch?”
Su Yi quickly waved her hand, “You go ahead. We three little ones will go with Aunt Yao and Aunt Zheng, and we’ll sit with them.”
Zhou Jinchuan nodded, “That’s good. It’s still early, let’s go later.”
Su Yi agreed and got up to find Ye Xiaowu and Ye Nuannuan.
It had snowed heavily overnight again.
The courtyard was piled high with snow, with only a path cleared.
“Uncle was shoveling snow this morning and suddenly stopped halfway, saying he’d leave it like that.”
Ye Xiaowu still looked puzzled as he spoke, thinking it was because Uncle’s hand was injured and he couldn’t shovel snow.
Su Yi smiled, “It’s such a rare snowfall, wouldn’t it be a pity to shovel it all away at once? Why don’t we have a snowball fight?”
“A snowball fight? Yay!”
Su Yi couldn’t wait any longer. She took off her gloves and grabbed a handful of fluffy snow from the ground, quickly making a small snowball and throwing it at Xiaowu.
Ye Xiaowu immediately reacted and threw a snowball back at Su Yi.
Ye Nuannuan stood there watching at first, a little dazed, until Su Yi handed her a snowball.
She then excitedly threw it at Xiaowu, giggling after hitting him.
Zhou Jinchuan heard their laughter and came out of the study.
As he reached the living room, he saw the three of them running around the yard, chasing each other and having a snowball fight.
Zhou Jinchuan’s gaze followed the three of them, a faint warmth spreading across his eyes.
He saw how Su Yi blended in with the two children without any awkwardness.
He couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.
That’s right, she’s only 20 years old. Although she usually speaks and acts in a mature way, making people forget her age,
But she’s only 20.
He’s 26 this year.
As the old saying goes, there’s a generation gap every three years.
Is he getting too old?
Zhou Jinchuan, experiencing the first time in his life feeling insecure about his age, silently turned around and went back into the house, going into the kitchen to boil some water.
Seeing that the three children outside had played enough,
He came out and shouted, “Don’t play for too long, be careful of catching a cold.”
Su Yi heard him and stopped.
They had been having too much fun and had lost track of time.
She sheepishly pulled Ye Nuannuan inside.
As soon as they entered, they saw three bowls of freshly brewed malted milk on the table, still emitting a rich aroma and heat.
“Drink it while it’s hot, it’ll warm you up.”
Su Yi felt even more embarrassed and quickly thanked him.
After they finished their malted milk,
Su Yi told Ye Xiaowu to change his clothes, and she took Nuannuan to change clothes as well.
“Battalion Commander Zhou, we’re going to Aunt Yao’s next door.”
Zhou Jinchuan also stood up, “Okay, I’ll go later.”
The three of them held hands and went next door. Aunt Zheng, with her child, was already at Aunt Yao’s house waiting.
“You guys are here? We were just about to go and get you!”
Aunt Yao hesitated, “Xiao Su, are you really going to their wedding reception? I don’t think it’s necessary. They might have some ulterior motives.”
Su Yi smiled, “They specifically invited me, I can’t not go. It’s fine!”
Seeing this, Aunt Yao could only nod, “Okay! Just eat with us, don’t pay attention to those two black-hearted people!”
With that, they all left the family compound and headed towards the canteen.
Before they even reached it, they saw Bai Ruolin from afar, wearing a red wool coat and with her face painted white.
She was standing at the entrance with Qin Yunfeng, greeting people.
When they saw Su Yi, the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.
Bai Ruolin snorted, “I can’t believe she actually dared to come!”
Well, she and Qin Yunfeng had already gotten their marriage certificate.
She wouldn’t dare to ruin their military marriage!
Let her see for herself, accept reality!
Qin Yunfeng couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw Su Yi.
“You came?”
Seeing him staring straight at Su Yi, Aunt Yao and Aunt Zheng both pursed their lips and shoved the red envelopes into her hands before pulling Su Yi inside.
Su Yi also took out the red envelope she had prepared beforehand from her pocket.
“This is a little something from me. Don’t think it’s too little!”
“Congratulations on your wedding, may you have a happy life together and have children soon!”
Qin Yunfeng was stunned for a moment before taking it.
After Su Yi went inside, Bai Ruolin immediately snatched it away in anger.
She opened it and saw two dimes!
“I knew she wasn’t up to anything good. This is on purpose to annoy me, isn’t it?”
Qin Yunfeng pursed his lips, “She’s a single girl living here, she has a lot of expenses, don’t be so petty.”
Bai Ruolin clenched the two dimes in her hand, “Why are you speaking up for her again?”
“I’m not! I just don’t want to argue over trifles anymore. Don’t forget today is our big day.”
“You know it’s our big day, so don’t mention her!”
“Do you think I want to mention her? It’s you who insisted on inviting her!”
“……”
Su Yi took the two children into the canteen and went straight to a corner table.
This table was filled with the wives and children from the family compound, so they could relax a bit when it was time to eat.
They had just sat down and started munching on sunflower seeds when they saw Aunt Liu come in with her children.
“Oh, Aunt Liu is here? Do you want to sit with us?”
Aunt Liu looked down and saw it was Su Yi.
She rolled her eyes at her and quickly found a seat far away from her.
She had already tripped over her so many times, only a fool would sit at the same table with her and look for trouble!
