Chapter 11

“I’ll go treat them now…”

Xu Zhishu frowned and looked at him, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yang.

Then she nodded and said “hmm”.

Jiang Yang, who was playing with a slingshot nearby, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked up and met Xu Zhishu’s gaze.

And, that “kind” smile.

Jiang Yang’s little body trembled, and Xu Zhishu looked at Jiang Chao several times.

“Okay, then, you go and invite Captain He to your home. Yingying and I went to the market two days ago, and we have basically everything we need at home…” Xu Zhishu thought, “So, when we invite Captain He to dinner, we have to prepare at least two or three main dishes…”

Xu Zhishu took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chao.

“Go find Captain He, and buy some meat from the grocery store. You can make the arrangements, this is all the money and bills.”

“Yangyang, you and your dad go together, so you can help carry things when the time comes.” Xu Zhishu arranged, “Your aunt and I are at home, and we need to prepare the ingredients, and clean every corner of the house…”

Jiang Yingying glanced at the stunned Jiang Chao and his son, then looked at Xu Zhishu who had already started sweeping the floor.

“Sister-in-law, how about I go buy it…”

“Yingying, no need. The staff quarters is a little far from the grocery store. It’s so hot outside, don’t get sunburned.”

When talking to Jiang Yingying, she was as gentle as a drizzle, but when talking to Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang, Xu Zhishu was as ruthless as a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

“Why don’t you two go quickly? It’s getting late. If you can’t buy meat, I’ll punish you.”

“Right away! We’ll go right away.”

Seeing the big and small one go out, Xu Zhishu couldn’t help but worry again: “Yangyang, you carry the heavier things. Your dad’s injuries haven’t healed fully yet…” “

I know, Mom.”

It’s just buying meat. It shouldn’t be a problem for Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang to go together.

Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying looked away at the same time, then met each other’s gazes at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled, “I don’t know if they can be trusted…” Xu Zhishu muttered.

Jiang Yingying smiled, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, even if my brother is unreliable, Yangyang is definitely reliable.”

“That’s true.”

Xu Zhishu nodded in agreement.

Then, the smiles on both of their faces deepened.

“Sister-in-law, let me help you.”

“No, no, I’ll do the sweeping and mopping,” Xu Zhishu said hurriedly, “Yingying, you sit down first. Wait for the father and son to buy the meat, then we’ll prepare it together…”

Xu Zhishu smiled embarrassedly, “After all, we have a dinner party, and my cooking skills are not very good, so I have to rely on you.”

Jiang Yingying said, “What’s the big deal, I live at home, and I should help if there is anything. Besides, I should express my gratitude to Captain He who saved me tonight. I also like to cook…”

Jiang Yingying can be said to have been very comfortable during her stay at the Jiang family, so comfortable that she was a little embarrassed.

During this period, the only housework she could do every day was cooking for everyone and helping Jiang Yang with his homework.

Whenever she was sweeping the floor or washing dishes at home and was seen by Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang, she would be stopped.

This time, Jiang Yingying saw that Xu Zhishu was planning to do a thorough cleaning of the courtyard before the guests arrived.

She rushed forward to help, and Xu Zhishu couldn’t persuade her, so the two of them chatted and laughed while cleaning the yard.

On the other side, after Jiang Chao left the yard, he walked for a while with Jiang Yang, pulled the child to his side, and rubbed his head.

“Dad!”

Jiang Yang jumped away and looked at him with disapproval.

“I’m not a child anymore, you can’t rub my head anymore!”

Jiang Chao curled his lips and wanted to laugh.

Looking at Jiang Yang’s glaring expression, it looked like he would turn against him if he dared to call him a child.

Jiang Chao nodded helplessly, “Okay, okay, you’re a grown-up boy now, I won’t touch your head anymore, okay?”

“Dad, you speak so rudely.”

“Hey, what did you say?”

Jiang Yang muttered, “That’s right, what grown-up boy? Aren’t they all children and adults? I’m a grown man now.”

No matter how quietly he muttered, he couldn’t escape Jiang Chao’s ears. He was an excellent scout on the battlefield.

After hearing his mumbling, Jiang Chao was so angry that he laughed.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I really am. I forgot what I was about to say because I was so angry at you.”

Jiang Yang raised his head and looked at him with innocent eyes.

“Dad, what do you want to tell me?”

Jiang Chao lowered his voice, “Didn’t I tell you already? I was so angry with you that I forgot.”

“Oh, Dad, then your memory is really bad. This won’t do.” Jiang Yang shook his two little fingers, “How about Dad, I’ll go back and talk to my aunt and ask her to help make a soup. My aunt said that some soups can help people improve their memory.”

“No need to bother.”

“Dad, really not?”

“No need!”

…

The father and son quarreled all the way and soon arrived at the military area.

Jiang Chao registered Jiang Yang, and the two of them entered the military region. As soon as he entered the military area, Jiang Yang’s little mouth suddenly closed tightly, his expression was tense, and he didn’t look around or run around.

Jiang Chao raised his hand and was about to touch the back of his head, but then he stopped when he thought of what the child had just said.

He said, “Don’t be nervous, just follow me closely and don’t run around and disturb others.”

“Got it, Dad.”

“At this time, if your Uncle He is not at the training ground, he must be in the office building. Let me check. If he is not here, come on, I’ll take you to the office building to look for him.”

When they arrived in front of the office building, Jiang Yang became even more nervous.

He stretched out his little hand and pulled Jiang Chao’s pants, “What’s wrong? Did you pee?”

“No,” Jiang Yang’s little face turned red, “Dad, I, how about I wait for you here and you go in by yourself?”

Jiang Chao snorted, “You kid, call dad when you have something to say, and call dad when you don’t have anything to say.” He said, “No, your mom said that we invited him together, have you forgotten?”

Jiang Chao could see that Jiang Yang was afraid of He Yan, but let alone a child, he as an adult was also a little afraid.

Therefore, he would never let Jiang Yang escape. If they were to go, they had to go together.

“Dad…”

“It’s no use.”

Jiang Yang looked at his father’s firm expression and sighed like a little adult.

“Okay.”

He was not afraid. Last time in the hospital, Captain He patted his shoulder and smiled at him.

The two of them are friends who have talked to each other.

He is not afraid of the fierce Uncle He.

Jiang Yang clenched his hands and encouraged himself in his heart.

“Don’t insist a little longer? Don’t say a few more words to your dad?”

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Chao and asked, “Then I will insist a little longer. Dad, will you agree to what I just said?”

“No,” Jiang Chao said “ruthlessly”, “No matter how long you insist, I will not agree to you.”
