Chapter 12

Jiang Yang released his hand that was holding Jiang Chao’s pants, “So, Dad, let’s go quickly.” He said, “If there is no meat later, Mom will be angry.”

When Jiang Chao mentioned Xu Zhishu, he felt a chill on his back. He held Jiang Yang’s hand and strode into the office building.

“Dad, Dad…” Jiang Yang lowered his voice deliberately for fear of disturbing the uncles and aunts in the building, “Dad, walk slower, I can hardly keep up…”

“Short legs…”

Jiang Chao complained, but he still slowed down his pace.

Jiang Yang pursed his lips, looked at Jiang Chao holding his hand, pursed his lips, cheered himself up in his heart, and followed Jiang Chao with small steps.

When he was almost in front of He Yan’s office, Jiang Chao suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.

Jiang Yang next to him followed suit, and after some hesitation, the father and son finally walked to the door of the office.

Jiang Chao shook the hand that was holding Jiang Yang, and whispered, “You shout?”

Jiang Yang turned his face away, not wanting to pay attention to this “unambitious” and “cowardly” father. “I don’t want to. Mom clearly said it was for you.”

“Hey, your mom also said that you should stay with me!”

“Dad!”

“Hey, son!”

…

While the father and son were arguing, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened, revealing Wei Guoping’s smiling face.

“Lao Jiang?!” He looked at them, unable to hold back the smile on his face. “Yangyang? Is there anything going on between you two?”

“Ahem, um,” Jiang Chao immediately became serious, “Old Wei, I’m here to look for He Tuan, is he here?”

“He’s inside, you guys go in.” Wei Guoping patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Wei Guoping passed by the father and son. When his figure disappeared not far away, Jiang Chao straightened his clothes and then mustered up the courage to shout.

“Report!”

“Come in.”

Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang were so nervous that they almost walked in at the same time. There was nothing they could do. He Yan’s cold-faced aura was too deeply rooted in people’s minds.

Jiang Chao had seen He Yan being ruthless towards himself and his soldiers on the training ground several times, so he actually respected He Yan more than he was afraid of him.

He had once been on a mission with He Yan, and it was after that mission that He Yan became someone he admired and wanted to be like.

However, He Yan’s expression was usually too cold, and Jiang Chao really didn’t dare to talk to him.

Compared to the complicated emotions and reasons in Jiang Chao’s heart, Jiang Yang’s was much simpler. The reason why he was afraid of He Yan was that he had heard too many words used by parents in the family compound to scare their children.

At this time, the father and son stood in front of He Yan with tense nerves.

Jiang Chao was nervous, afraid of making mistakes; while Jiang Yang was afraid, afraid of being “caught”.

The most widely circulated saying in the family compound is: If you don’t listen, you will be arrested by Captain He.

He Yan looked up from the documents and saw that it was them. He pinched his eyebrows to relieve the soreness in his eyes.

“Is there something?” He Yan looked at Jiang Chao, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, and asked.

Jiang Yang tugged at his father Jiang Chao’s pants, signaling him to speak.

“Ah, oh, yes…” Jiang Chao came back to his senses from the tension after Jiang Yang pulled him hard, “He Tuan, it’s like this, we are here to invite you to dinner at our house tonight.”

He Yan pursed his thin lips, “No need to trouble…”

“It’s not a trouble,” Jiang Chao stood up when he saw that He Yan was about to refuse. “He Tuan, you saved our Yingying. We should have invited you to our home for dinner a long time ago. I was just discharged from the hospital today…”

“He Tuan, you are our family’s benefactor. We feel very sorry for just inviting you to a meal. If you don’t come, my wife and Yingying will think that I didn’t invite you well enough…”

Jiang Chao was hesitant for a while, and his words were incoherent and illogical.

He noticed it himself, and knowing that he was not good at talking, Jiang Chao didn’t say much. He pushed Jiang Yang and motioned him to come over.

Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him and found that he was serious.

With such a father, what else could Jiang Yang do? He could only bite the bullet and go into battle.

“Uncle He, Uncle He, my aunt’s cooking is delicious. I guarantee you’ll like it after one bite.”

Jiang Yang felt a little uncomfortable when he first said this, but when he mentioned that Jiang Yingying’s cooking was delicious, his confidence suddenly increased.

In the heart of little Jiang Yang, he can refuse anything in this world, but he can never refuse delicious food, especially the delicious food made by his little aunt.

Jiang Yingying…

Her figure appeared in He Yan’s mind, and he was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he failed to refuse Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang’s offer to treat him in time.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang had already left the office at lightning speed while He Yan was stunned. Before leaving, they left a message.

“Tuan He, I’ll wait for you tonight.”

“Uncle He, see you tonight.”

By the time He Yan reacted, Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang had already disappeared.

He reached out and pinched his brows again, and after a moment, a light laugh escaped from his lips.

On the other side, Jiang Chao and Jiang Yang ran all the way until they left the office building.

Jiang Chao’s expression did not change, but Jiang Yang, who was being pulled by him to run, had a red face and was panting.

“Dad, huh, huh, you, you tell me, did Uncle He, He, agree to our request?”

Jiang Chao reached out and patted him on the back, breathing slowly.

“Did your Uncle He He refuse us the last time just now?”

Jiang Yang thought carefully, “No.”

“That’s it, son. If he didn’t refuse, it means he agreed. Don’t worry, your Uncle He will come to our house for dinner tonight.”

Jiang Yang took a few breaths and said softly, “Dad, I’m worried. Do you remember the meat that Mom asked us to buy?”

“Oh no!” Jiang Chao slapped his forehead, “Let’s go!”

As he said that, he ran forward like a gust of wind, leaving Jiang Yang behind.

“Dad, Dad, wait for me…”

“Run faster and catch up, I’ll walk a few steps first.”

In the family compound, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying had also tidied up the yard, and at this moment, they were busy in the kitchen.

“Sister-in-law, how about we have clay pot rice for lunch?”

“Clay pot rice? That’s strange, but you said it must be delicious if you make it, so let’s have clay pot rice for lunch.”

Jiang Yingying had a smile on her face, “This is a dish from the south. I’ve seen it in a book. Let’s try it together at noon.”

Before she traveled through time, in her era, Internet information was well developed. If you want to learn something, you can find a variety of tutorials by searching online.

Jiang Yingying’s biggest concern is her appetite.

It’s not so bad in the country, as there are loving meals prepared by my parents, various takeouts, and delicious food shops everywhere on the streets.

But in her junior year, she went abroad as an exchange student and truly felt the pain of missing out on delicious food.
