98: Chapter 20 Jiang Shan and Jiang Liang 98: Chapter 20 Jiang Shan and Jiang Liang “What’s the situation between Xiao Miao and Liang Yuwei?” Perhaps because Shen Chi had seed to know too much earlier, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but ask.
“Yu Xiaomiao’s husband is just a company commander, and there are so many company commanders in the garrison area, how could I possibly know every one of them?
Besides, this is a matter between you won; I don’t have a way to find out,” Shen Chi teased his son as he spoke.
Lin Xiaoguai rolled her eyes.
No way to find out, then how did you manage to find out so much about Li Kun’s situation in just a few days after arriving?
“By the way, what should I do if Liang Yuwei cos looking for again?” Lin Xiaoguai suddenly thought.
“Do whatever you need to do,” said Shen Chi indifferently, “Just follow your own heart.”
“Won’t it affect you?” Lin Xiaoguai hesitated.
A flash of brightness crossed Shen Chi’s eyes as he heard her words; he wondered if Wanwan had noticed that she no longer ignored him like she used to.
“It won’t.” Though Li Kun’s family had so influence in Shanghai, he wasn’t afraid at all.
Lin Xiaoguai was reassured.
The next day, Lin Xiaoguai still took Little Niangao to the shooting range to play in the morning.
Children’s worlds are simple; in just two days, he had beco familiar with Yaya.
Their reluctant parting made Lin Xiaoguai feel as if she was a bad parent breaking up a pair of sweethearts.
Unfortunately, the mother taking care of the kids today wasn’t Yu Xiaomiao.
On the way back, Lin Xiaoguai ran into Wu Eri, who was carrying two baskets of soil.
“Sister-in-law Er i, are you filling soil for your vegetable racks?
Why didn’t you let Jiang Wei help?”
Wu Eri put down her carrying pole, gasping for breath, “Exactly, Jiang Wei just finished building the racks for yesterday when he was called away to the barracks.
It seed really urgent.
I was afraid of delaying planting, so I went and carried it myself.”
“How much more do you need?”
“Just this last load,” said Wu Eri with a smile.
“By the way, I wanted to ask you sothing.
Where did you buy your seeds and seedlings?”
“Why, Sister-in-law Er i, are you also looking to buy?”
To her surprise, Wu Eri shook her head, “No, I have them at ho.
I’m worried you might get taken advantage of.
Seeds and seedlings may not look valuable, but you must be extrely careful when buying them.
Never buy from an unfamiliar seller, or you might face all kinds of problems and waste months of hard work.”
Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback, then laughed, “No worries, Sister-in-law Er i.
The seeds are our own, brought over from my hotown, and there’s only one type of seedling, lettuce.
I don’t think there’ll be any big problems.”
Wu Eri was relieved.
She was just about to pick up her carrying pole when she rembered sothing else and turned back, “Oh, this afternoon Xiao Shan and Xiao Liang will be at my house.
If you have ti, bring Little Niangao over to play.”
“Sure, I’ll definitely co over, and you’re welco to bring them to my house to watch TV too,” said Lin Xiaoguai, very pleased that her son could have more little friends.
Although Wu Eri’s family conditions in the Military Family Area were not considered poor, let alone a color TV, they didn’t even have a black-and-white one.
To say that they weren’t envious of Lin Xiaoguai’s color TV would be a lie, but they were too embarrassed to impose.
It was inappropriate for adults to take advantage, but it didn’t hurt to let the children bask in a little luxury, so she gladly agreed.
Upon returning ho, Lin Xiaoguai was surprised to find that Shen Chi was actually lying on the sofa watching TV.
“Why are you at ho?” Lin Xiaoguai exclaid.
Shen Chi loosened his shirt collar, “There’s a three-day ergency drill starting this afternoon, and I have to go as a commanding officer.
I ca back to let you know.”
“Do you need to prepare anything?” Lin Xiaoguai asked, slightly alard.
“No need,” Shen Chi got up and said, “We’re not allowed to bring anything extra.
Don’t worry about it.
The thing is, while I’m not at ho, you have to take good care of yourself and our son.
Leave any hard tasks for when I get back.”
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, “So you’ll eat at ho now, right?”
“Yes, don’t bother making anything elaborate; sothing simple will do,” Shen Chi turned off the TV and took his son from her hands.
“So dirty!” he scraped off the gri from Little Niangao’s nose and looked up at Lin Xiaoguai, “You go cook; I’ll change his clothes.”
Because Shen Chi had brought back a serving of sweet and sour pork ribs and braised eggplant from the canteen, Lin Xiaoguai decided to make a spicy beef tripe dish, a green vegetable with mushrooms, and a small pot of fish head with tofu soup, after looking over the ingredients in the fridge.
Since it was just the two of them eating, and Little Niangao had a limited appetite, she made small portions, so there wouldn’t be too many leftovers.
“Is this beef tripe?” Shen Chi looked at the spicy beef tripe dish on the table with so surprise; he had eaten it before when dining with senior officers, and it was a rarity in restaurants.
