Chapter 35

“Hobby? How can a momentary interest be called a hobby? Besides, Qianlin is still young, and children’s hobbies are unstable. His hobbies will change over time.”

“He likes painting now because you introduced him to it. Starting tomorrow, I will get up early with him to go jogging in the morning. As long as we use up his vigorous energy, he won’t like it anymore.”

Ning He frowned and looked at He Shaochuan with a strange look.

How could his attitude change so much in just one day?

“It’s unfair to you to treat Qianlin like this. Have you ever asked him if he likes getting up early to run in the morning?”

Qianlin couldn’t stand seeing his parents arguing more and more fiercely about him, he didn’t like it.

“Mom, I’m going for a morning run with Dad tomorrow. Mom, please don’t be angry, okay?”

Ning He was not angry, she was just feeling sorry for Qian Lin!

She looked at Qian Lin who was begging her, and her heart felt like it was being pulled outward with force, causing it to aches and pains.

She hugged Qianlin into her arms and said, “Mom will sleep with you tonight, and you are not allowed to get up and run tomorrow!”

Ning He held Qian Lin in her arms and walked into Qian Lin’s small room without even looking at He Shaochuan.

With a bang, the door closed.

He Shaochuan looked at the scraps of paper all over the floor. He silently took the broom and swept the floor clean.

When I returned to the room, I saw that the bed was made neatly and cleanly, but there was one person missing next to me.

They were clearly doing very intimate things yesterday, but today they slept in separate rooms again.

The relationship between him and Ning He once again reached freezing point.

It was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry on He Shaochuan’s indifferent face.

It seemed as if this situation was commonplace. He had only one thought from beginning to end, that as long as Ning He didn’t divorce him, anything was fine, even if she blamed him or hated him, he would accept it.

No. 1 Military District Compound.

When Jiang Yuanzhao came back, it was already dark outside. After a busy day, he took off his military cap as he entered the house.

The house was unusually quiet, and Jiang Yuanzhao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Hey, what’s up today?

In the past, when he returned home, the house was filled with the sound of his wife scolding Xiaoyu, or the sound of Xiaoyu playing tricks.

His eyes fell on the dining room, where mother and son were sitting quietly at the table eating.

Xiaoyu saw him and waved to him excitedly: “Dad, come over and try the cold noodles!”

“Cold noodles? What is this?” Jiang Yuanzhao walked forward and saw a bowl of noodles without soup on the table.

He couldn’t help but laugh: “Hey, the soup in this batter is gone.”

Jiang Minke didn’t give him a chance to buffer. She picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks and stuffed it into his slightly open mouth.

In an instant, the sour, spicy and smooth taste awakened his taste buds.

It was this delicious bite that swept away his gloomy mood today.

After swallowing it, Jiang Yuanzhao couldn’t help but say, “What is this cold noodle? It tastes really good! It’s even better than the food in the cafeteria!”

“Dad has also tasted it, the rest is all mine!” Seeing Jiang Yuanzhao finished eating, Xiaoyu quickly moved the noodles in front of him to himself, picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up.

“Hey, you little brat, you’re hungry at home!” Jiang Yuanzhao had never seen his son like this.

It’s like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Jiang Minke patted Jiang Yuanzhao’s hand and said to him with a smile: “It’s rare for Xiaoyu to have such a good appetite, let him eat.”

“Wife, you haven’t told me yet, who made this noodle? It’s so delicious! It doesn’t look like Aunt Sun made it.”

This is the key point. Jiang Minke was waiting for this sentence.

“This was made by a military family member in the compound. I sent her money to buy clothes. She saw that Xiaoyu had no appetite, so she made this bowl of cold noodles. Xiaoyu really liked it. I want to discuss with you. We can pay that girl to come and make lunch for Xiaoyu every day. What do you think, Lao Jiang?”

Xiaoyu, who was wolfing down the food beside him, expressed his agreement with his hands and feet: “I like the cold noodles made by Auntie, I want her to make them for me every day!”

Jiang Yuanzhao was surprised: “There are military families in our compound who cook such delicious food? How come I didn’t know about this?”

Jiang Minke glared at him coquettishly: “What do you know? You only know how to bury yourself in work. Look at you when you just came back, you had a stern face. Who made you angry again today?”

Jiang Yuanzhao got angry whenever he mentioned this. Considering his son’s presence, Jiang Yuanzhao had to pull Jiang Minke back to the bedroom.

“Hey, just talk if you want to. Why are you pulling me back to my room?” Jiang Minke was confused when she was pulled back to the bedroom.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Jiang Yuanzhao could finally ask his wife to help analyze his actions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jiang Minke’s expression gradually became serious, and she slapped Jiang Yuanzhao on the shoulder.

“Hey, wife, why did you hit me?” Jiang Yuanzhao rubbed his aching shoulder.

“Old Jiang, you are so confused! How could you encourage your subordinates to divorce? Military marriage is to protect the rights of soldiers, not for you to do whatever you want! It’s a pity that He Shaochuan refused. If he dared to agree, even if he saved your life, I would look down on him!”

Jiang Yuanzhao was furious: “The character of He Shaochuan’s wife is a stumbling block to his promotion! You know I intend to promote him on the Army Day, but his wife has a very bad reputation in the compound. If I don’t handle this matter well, even if I want to promote him on that day, he will not be able to convince the public!”

Jiang Minke is a teacher after all, so she is more thoughtful.

“You asked He Shaochuan to divorce and marry that arts soldier. Will this convince the public if it gets out? This is a work style issue! Soldiers with work style issues still cannot be promoted. Are you, the chief, confused?!”

Jiang Yuanzhao was a little unconvinced: “With me here, who dares to say anything? Besides, both husband and wife are soldiers, what’s wrong with that? No matter how bad it is, it’s better than his current lazy wife! Not to mention that he and the girl from the art troupe are childhood sweethearts, they know each other well, and they were once engaged. Just say that the girl’s current status is better than all the military families in the compound.”

Jiang Minke didn’t agree. She thought of Ning He’s smiling face and said to Jiang Yuanzhao bluntly, “A bunch of military families? No matter how good she is, she can’t compare to the girl who made cold noodles for Xiaoyu today.”

The topic returned to Ning He.

Jiang Minke didn’t want to get involved in what happened between He Shaochuan and the art soldier.

She only cared about getting Ning He to cook.

“I just want to ask you, I want to ask that girl to cook, are you willing?” Jiang Minke asked directly.

Jiang Yuanzhao’s entire mouth was still filled with the aroma of the shredded chicken cold noodles, and the mere aftertaste of it made him salivate.

There’s nothing wrong with spending some money to hire someone to cook for you. That way, he will definitely come back for lunch every day.

“Okay, okay, okay, the wife has the final say. It’s up to you to decide how much money you want to spend to hire her. And what regiment does the husband of this military family belong to?”

This question confused Jiang Minke. After being busy for most of the day, she actually forgot to ask the girl’s name and her husband’s information.

“I think I forgot to ask.”

Jiang Yuanzhao: …
