Chapter 20

“Grandma, does it look good?” Qiao Xiazhi asked.

Grandma Jiang smiled and nodded, “They look good. Let’s take these two sets. Let’s go and check out.”

After paying the bill, the three of them walked around the department store for a while.

My grandma seldom goes out, and when she does she can’t stay out for too long, especially at noon when the sun gets hotter and hotter, which her body can’t stand.

Qiao Xiazhi didn’t dare to make a move too obviously, so after they finished shopping, the three of them went home.

As soon as I got home, someone knocked on the door.

“Grandma Jiang, are you home? I’m Xiaofang.” Su Fang outside the house shouted into the house.

“It’s Officer Su. I’ll go open the door.” Aunt Xu said and went to open the door.

As soon as the gate opened, Su Fang nodded to Aunt Xu and walked in.

As soon as he entered the yard, he started to ask before he even entered the house: “Grandma Su, this is…”

The talking stopped abruptly because Su Fang saw a familiar face in the room.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t remember who this lesbian was, “This this this this this…”

Qiao Xiazhi had no choice but to introduce himself: “Qiao Xiazhi.”

“Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Look at my poor memory. I’m sorry. How’s Comrade Qiao doing today? …”

Qiao Xiazhi smiled and explained: “I came to the city to do some work, and thought I would come to see grandma.”

Hearing this, Su Fang nodded: “Well~~That’s good, not bad, look at grandma, very good, very good.”

Then he said to Grandma Jiang, “Grandma, this is 50 kilograms of food. Your eldest grandson is worried that you have nothing to eat at home, so he asked me to find a way to get you 50 kilograms of flour. I’ll put it here for you, and you can put it away later.”

Grandma Jiang smiled and said, “No, no, Xiazhi sent me more than 100 kilograms of food yesterday. You can take this food home. You have a large family, so you need a lot of food. The food Xiazhi sent me is enough for me to eat for a while.”

“I only have two mouths to feed. There is too much food at home, and it is easy to be eaten by rats and insects. You can take it home. When I don’t have enough food here, I will come to you naturally.”

Su Fang thought about it and it made sense. It would take a long time for two mouths to eat more than a hundred kilograms of food, and if they eat for too long, they will easily get worms.

Then he didn’t hesitate, “Okay, I’ll take it home first. If you need food, just ask Aunt Xu to find me at the police station. Or you can come to my house to find me.”

“Okay. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have something to eat at grandma’s place at noon?” said Grandma Jiang.

Su Fang: “No, no, I’ll just go back to the police station and eat later. There’s something else waiting for me there. It’s nothing else, grandma, I’ll go back first.”

Su Fang turned and left with a meaningful smile on his face.

As soon as he returned to the police station, he called Jiang Yunchen.

“My goodness, you found a beautiful wife without telling me, and you kept it a secret from me for so long. Don’t you consider me a brother?”

When Jiang Yunchen on the phone heard that the other party’s voice was Su Fang, and that the voice was speaking words he couldn’t understand, he looked confused.

Su Fang didn’t care whether Jiang Yunchen on the other end of the phone understood or not, and continued: “Tell me the truth, when did you two start?”

[What, when did it start? What are you talking about? Nothing else, I’m hanging up. ]

“Hey, wait, wait, are you sure you and Comrade Qiao are not in… that kind of relationship?”

When Jiang Yunchen heard Su Fang mention Comrade Qiao, the first person he thought of was Qiao Xiazhi.

[ What’s the meaning?]

“Just now I went to deliver food to grandma, guess who I saw?”

[ If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, fart it. ]

“You are such a person, can’t you just talk to me properly? I saw Comrade Qiao Xiazhi Qiao at your house just now.”

“Why do you think she came to town?”

[what?]

“What else can I do? I learned that this year’s harvest is not good, so I came to send food to grandma. It’s more than 100 kilograms. The key is, you know? She came yesterday and hasn’t left yet today, which means she must be staying at your house tonight.”

“So, tell me the truth, what is the relationship between you two? This comrade is obviously a good person. If you don’t have that relationship, he has no relatives or friends with you. Could it be that he lives in your house just because of that incident…”

Su Fang muttered to himself until this point, and suddenly he understood, “Tell me the truth, were you in love the first time you met? No wonder you arranged for him to live in your house.”

“Look at the present. Comrade Qiao specially brought over 100 kilograms of food from the countryside for grandma. Over 100 kilograms, just carrying it here like that. Only a fool would do that if it wasn’t for that matter.”

“And when I walked in, Comrade Ren Qiao was washing grandma’s eyes and putting eye drops in them. He was so gentle, just like he was taking care of his own grandma.”

…………

Su Fang was chattering like a woman on this end of the phone, but Jiang Yunchen on the other end was so happy that he was a little overwhelmed.

So she has feelings for him too, right?

Otherwise, more than two months had passed and he would have thought that she might have forgotten him and grandma long ago. But not only did she not forget, she even carried so much food from the country for grandma.

She didn’t just drop off the food and leave, but stayed at home to take care of her grandmother, which shows that she cares about her. Otherwise, as Su Fang said, only a fool would do that, right?

Definitely.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yunchen just wanted to finish the next task quickly, then go home and marry her. He didn’t want to wait any longer. If he waited any longer, she might become someone else’s wife at any time.

Taking advantage of the half-hour of time to clean up at noon, Jiang Yunchen returned to the dormitory and quickly wrote a report and handed it in. This way, when the mission was completed, he could go home and get married directly.

Qiao Xiazhi, who was far away in Wuyang County, had no idea that Jiang Yunchen had become so excited after meeting Su Fang that he completed a task in just six days, even though it should have taken ten days.

What’s more important is that it was completed very smoothly.

As soon as he returned to the military area, he went straight to the dormitory, packed his luggage and drove home without even sitting down on the bench.

“Captain Jiang, where are you going? The leader said that he will hold a commendation meeting for everyone in the evening.” When they were leaving the military district gate, they happened to meet Yu Yang, who shouted to Jiang Yunchen.

Jiang Yunchen replied without even turning his head: “Something happened at home, I have to go back first. It will be the same even if you are at the commendation meeting.”

After saying that, Jiang Yunchen stepped on the accelerator, leaving only exhaust fumes for Yu Yang.

When the exhaust fumes dissipated, Yu Yang looked puzzled: “Why is this guy in such a hurry to go home? I haven’t heard that there’s anything major going on in his family recently.”

Yu Yang’s wife Cai Tian asked, “Didn’t I hear that Grandma Jiang wasn’t in good health? Did something happen to Grandma Jiang?”

Yu Yang: “That shouldn’t be possible. Grandma Jiang’s condition had improved a lot before we left last time.”

Suddenly, Yu Yang seemed to understand something.

Then he slapped his thigh and said, “I know why he is in such a hurry to go back.”

Cai Tian looked curious: “What?”

Yu Yang: “You will know after a while.”

“You’re still keeping me in suspense. Do you want to sleep on the floor tonight?” Cai Tian said as he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to twist Yu Yang’s ear.

In order to save face, Yu Yang had to betray his brother first.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, but your confidentiality must be kept absolutely confidential.”

“Say~”

“He went home to get married.”

“What”

Cai Tian almost dropped her jaw in shock, and her exclamation attracted several colleagues passing by.

Realizing that he had overreacted, Cai Tian quickly lowered his voice and asked, “When did this happen? How could you hide this from me for so long?”

Yu Yang: “This is just my guess. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I think it’s very likely.”

Cai Tian: “That’s needless to say. It’s our women’s intuition. That’s it. Have you seen this lesbian?”

Yu Yang did not hide anything and answered, “It was a girl I met when I went back to Wuyang County to handle a human trafficker case last time. She was quite nice and a good match for Yun Chen. It can be said that they were a perfect match made in heaven.”

“The most important thing is that she is considerate. When she lived at home, she was very good to grandma and took care of her meticulously. It can be said that she contributed a lot to grandma’s recovery. Grandma was in a particularly good mood during those few days, and her health got better and better.”

When Cai Tian heard that they all lived at home, his eyes widened, “They all lived at home? They…”

Yu Yang rolled his eyes at his wife, then slapped her head gently and said, “Can you clean your mind a little? I have something to do in the city, so I’m staying here for a few days. What are you thinking about all day long?”

Cai Tian looked at her husband, her eyes almost sparkling with love: “What else can I think about? I miss you.”

Hearing this, Yu Yang smiled happily, “Let’s go, I’ll go home and make you your favorite tomato and egg noodles.”

Cai Tian: “Put more tomatoes.”

Yu Yang: “Okay, I’ll put tomatoes all over it, and add two noodles as garnish.”

The couple returned to the family building talking and laughing.

It was already evening when Jiang Yunchen returned to Wuyang County. He could just rest at home for a night and then go look for Xia Zhi during the day.

When grandma heard that he was coming back to get married, she was very happy: “Then grandma will go with you to the Qiao family to propose marriage tomorrow.”

Jiang Yunchen: “Don’t be in a hurry. We are making such a big fuss without Xia Zhi’s consent. If she doesn’t like it, it will be a joke. I will go to Xia Zhi tomorrow and tell her the truth first to see what she thinks.”

Grandma Jiang: “That’s right, you are very thoughtful. We need Xia Zhi’s consent first. But I think Xia Zhi has no objection. But no matter what, we have to respect each other first.”

“If she hesitates, it means you haven’t done well enough. You have to slowly impress her with your actions. You can’t keep a straight face like before, as if someone owes you money. You have to smile more in front of her, understand?”

Jiang Yunchen nodded, “I know.”

“It’s getting late, grandma, you should go to bed early. I’m going to go see Su Fang. I’ll ask him to go with me tomorrow.”

“Okay, you know what’s going on in your mind, so I won’t nag you anymore. Only when you resolve your lifelong affairs can I feel at ease.” Grandma Jiang said as she stood up and walked towards her room.

Now that his grandson has finally come to his senses, he feels relieved and sleeps much more soundly at night.
