Chapter 38: Decline

After seeing Chu Zheng out, she watched from a distance as he turned around and walked backwards from time to time, waving to her with a big smile on his slightly dark face. Han Zihe responded with a smile and waved his hand, until the figure gradually changed.

Became a small particle in the distance.

At this time, the moon was already faintly visible in the sky.

Just as he was about to turn around and close the door, he heard a bright laughter: "Brothers and sisters, wait a moment!"

Han Zihe, who had already stepped into the hospital, turned around and saw Sister-in-law He, whom he had not seen for several days.

She smiled and invited people into the courtyard.

"I won't go into the house. It's such a hot day. Are we two sisters talking in the courtyard?" Sister-in-law He waved her hand and declined Han Zihe's invitation to come into the house. She found a stone bench and sat down.

Down.

Han Zihe smiled: "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll get some cold drinks to quench your thirst."

Sister-in-law He smiled and said no, Han Zihe waved his hand: "That's not possible. How can my sister-in-law not even drink when she comes to my place?"

Having said that, when Han Zihe came out of the kitchen, in addition to a large bottle of cold sour plum soup and two cups, there were also two plates of washed seasonal fruits on the plate.

"My sister-in-law is a very particular person. Look at this cup. It's so beautiful." Sister-in-law He watched Han Zihe pour juice into two glasses, picked up one in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and praised it.

The cup in her hand has a double-layer vacuum structure. The inner layer is shaped like an apple. When the bright red plum soup is poured into it, the whole cup seems to contain a big red apple. The cup is thick and thick in the hand.

, it still looks layered, and even without drinking the juice, it looks very cool and transparent.

This cup was bought by Han Zihe when she was traveling. Before she got up and came to the military camp, she had already checked in her favorite things and stored them in the single apartment assigned to her by the school where she was seconded. Before moving into the small courtyard, Chu Zheng

Got it back for her.

"Tsk, tsk, how did you cook this sour plum soup and why does it taste so different from mine?" Sister-in-law He was full of praises as soon as Han Zihe brought out the food.

Regardless of whether her appreciation was out of politeness or sincerity, Han Zihe couldn't help but respond: "It's our recipe. The soup is made with black plum, black dates, hawthorn, licorice, tangerine peel, dried osmanthus, and rock sugar for seasoning...

Actually, there’s nothing special about how it’s cooked. It’s just a routine. I’m used to using this recipe, so I just wrote it down.”

"Oh, this is really cumbersome... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, we usually just boil a pot of mung bean soup to quench our thirst and relieve the heat. The more sophisticated ones are ebony, hawthorn, and rock sugar." Sister-in-law He laughed,

After taking two more sips, and after a short while, she spoke again, "I came back to see my younger siblings for a small matter."

Han Zihe raised his head with questions in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Sister-in-law He said with a smile: "That's right. Our military relatives come to join the army. The first one to come has lived here for almost twenty years. In this way, it has gradually formed a tradition. Every season,

Everyone goes out for a party and travels once... Ah, of course everyone goes out every season. After all, everyone has different rich time... Like me, with our old He and our children, I only go out once a year.

Two trips... How should I say, everyone lives in the same camp, so we can't go out without knowing everyone, right?"

Han Zihe was actually quite unwilling in her heart. In her eyes, this kind of gathering was just some gossip talk with no special significance. If she really wanted any information, it would not be as accurate as her own observation and summary.

Of course, there is a difference between being uninvolved and being unsociable, so she did not refuse him outright.

Han Zihe smiled with some embarrassment: "Sister-in-law is right, but I don't know if the time will overlap. I have a lot of things on hand recently."

Sister-in-law He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "My brother and sister don't want to go?"

Han Zihe quickly shook his head with a very sincere expression: "How could it be possible?! I'm new here and I've just gotten married. It's supposed to be the right time for me to discuss things with my sisters-in-law and learn from them... But my sister-in-law doesn't know that I can come here to join the army so quickly.

To a large extent, our school seconded me to the university here! Originally, I was supposed to teach this semester, just because..."

Speaking of this, Han Zihe's face was slightly flushed. This shy and astringent expression was immediately understood by Sister-in-law He, who had come from this experience.

"That's it, I reluctantly agreed to be transferred to the school. However, after the summer vacation, I will have to give a few more open classes to make up for the shortfall this semester." Han Zihe didn't care whether Sister-in-law He understood or not.

If you don't understand, you will be more profound, and it will be easier to explain.

Sister-in-law He was not an unreasonable person, and she was a little embarrassed herself because she had not seen Han Zihe going out for the past two months. She actually forgot that Han Zihe was a highly educated person and that he also had a job.

In fact, Sister-in-law He did not tell the truth. Not everyone attended this military family gathering. Those who were particularly young, highly educated, and busy at work did not attend once in several years. There were also some people with high vision.

Not even blended.

However, Sister-in-law He obviously didn't want to return empty-handed. She smiled and said: "My sister-in-law can understand what my sister-in-law said. It's just that my sister-in-law is confused and forgot that she has a job. Sister-in-law, please don't argue with my sister-in-law!"

Han Zihe smiled and said: "How could it be? My sister-in-law is also kind-hearted."

Sister-in-law He added: "However, Captain Chu will have to go to the nursing home to recuperate for half a month. My brothers and sisters are bored at home. Do you want to go out with us and have some fun?"

This time, Sister-in-law He did not directly invite her, and Han Zihe felt relieved.

She smiled and said: "To be honest, I made a contract with a magazine a few days ago. Our old Chu is not at home these days, so I gave him a sigh of relief. Otherwise, I would be busy rushing out manuscripts and going out to discuss cooperation.

If you don’t have time to pay attention to him, he will have to nag you again!”

"Contract?" was rejected twice in a row, and Sister-in-law He was a little embarrassed.

Han Zihe sighed deliberately: "No! The quarrel with Captain Hao and his family a few days ago was actually because of this? I didn't leave the house for two days, just writing a manuscript. I will go out to sign the contract tomorrow and give the manuscript to

In order to write a manuscript of 50,000 to 60,000 words in two days, I even tried to reduce the time I spent sleeping. I didn’t sleep well, and my temper was a bit irritable. Therefore, when I heard people’s slander, I lost control of my temper.”

Taking this opportunity, Han Zihe added something about what happened a few days ago, and it was not easy for her to exchange gossip for a polite refusal.

Sure enough, Sister-in-law He sighed repeatedly after hearing this: "That's what happened!...Oh, it's really not easy for you. You have to write tens of thousands of words in two days, how can this person stand it!...Brothers and sisters, this career is important, I am alone

Your body is also more important, so don’t worry about one thing at the expense of the other!”

Han Zihe smiled and responded.

Sister-in-law He was also sensible and knew that Han Zihe really didn't have time, so she stood up and left: "Okay, sister-in-law understands, it's not easy for everyone, so naturally we still have to put career first, everyone understands!"

Naturally, she meant to say good things to Han Zihe among the military relatives. Although Han Zihe didn't care about it, he also appreciated it.

After thanking her for the kind words, he sent Sister He out of the gate. Han Zihe closed the courtyard door and took a deep breath.
