Xiaolan once worked as a servant in Hattori's house and was very familiar with Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu: "Xiaolan, why did you do this?"
Xiaolan lowered her head and muttered: "I can't find anything to do. My brother is getting married. He spends money everywhere. I can help support the family by earning a little..."
Jiang Xinyu sighed in his heart, it was hard to find a job nowadays, and there were only a handful of people with spare money to buy flowers. Xiaolan's income for a day might not even be enough for a full meal.
"I want all these flowers." Jiang Xinyu took out a wad of bills from his wallet and handed them over.
Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly and said: "You don't need so much money, roses are very cheap."
Jiang Xinyu put the banknotes into her hand and said, "Take it. Next time I buy flowers, just don't charge me."
Xiaolan bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Although the little girl is young, she still knows how to be kind and knows that Jiang Xinyu is helping her, otherwise a dozen flowers would not be worth so much money.
Jiang Xinyu put the rose in Tongtong's hand and said, "Let's go."
Tong Tong said happily: "In my life, this is the first time someone has given me flowers."
Seeing Tong Tong and Jiang Xinyu being affectionate, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jiang, where did the lady go?"
Jiang Xinyu was silent for a moment and said: "She has returned to Japan. Xiaolan, it's very late, go home quickly!"
Xiaolan walked a few steps and then said: "Mr. Jiang, are you in need of a servant girl at home? I can do everything, wash, cook and clean the house, and I can also make coffee!"
Jiang Xinyu thought about it and realized that Tongtong would leave in ten and a half days. The family really needed a servant, so he felt relieved that Xiaolan knew everything about her.
"Let's do this. At the end of the month, you come to see me at No. 7 Yunhe Street North."
"Thank you, thank you!" Xiaolan bowed excitedly.
There is an open-air cafe on the roof of the seventh floor. The protective fences are all made of white marble, and the carved beams and painted columns are very beautiful.
Because Yanjin is located in the north, the cafe is actually half open-air and half indoors. The open-air one is not open yet and only provides indoor services.
Tongtong chose a table by the window, where he could overlook the whole city and enjoy the night view of Yanjin.
Tong Tong put the roses aside and said to Jiang Xinyu, "Do you know that little flower seller?"
"She has served my wife before." Jiang Xinyu turned around and snapped his fingers at the waiter.
Tong Tong curled his lips and said, "No wonder I bought so many flowers at once. Are you looking at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said: "It should be described as Aiwujiwu, it will be more appropriate!"
"Why do you love a house and a crow?" Tongtong had limited education and did not understand the meaning of this idiom.
The waiter came over, bowed and said, "What would you two like to drink?"
Tong Tong rushed to say: "Two cups of coffee, thank you!"
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter turned around and left.
Jiang Xinyu: "Tongtong, that's good for you. You must learn to be polite and respectful to others."
Tong Tong pouted and said, "I'm very polite at first, but I just don't want to be polite to people I don't like when I see them!"
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"I obviously said it, why do I think you didn't say anything?"
Jiang Xinyu shut up completely and tried to reason with an unreasonable person. It was just playing the piano to an ox!
Fortunately, the waiter brought the coffee in time. Jiang Xinyu drank the coffee and looked at the lights of thousands of houses under the night sky, finally feeling that he had something to do.
Tong Tong looked at Jiang Xinyu blankly, and suddenly said: "Oh, it's not right!"
Jiang Xinyu was more or less used to Tong Tong's frequent surprises and said calmly: "What's wrong again?"
"You asked Xiaolan to come to you at the end of the month because you wanted to hire her as a servant?"
"That's right."
"Why?"
"Didn't you also say that when I was alone, I couldn't even get hot meals? Hiring a servant solved all these problems!"
"I mean, if you have little buttons at home, why would you hire a servant?"
Jiang Xinyu took a sip of coffee and said, "You will have almost moved out before the end of the month. Xiaolan will come at that time, which is just the right time."
Tong Tong said unhappily: "Are you asking me to leave?"
Regarding this question, Jiang Xinyu simply acquiesced and said, "I have asked Wang Xuelin. The renovation of his home will definitely be completed before the end of the month."
Tong Tong completely ignored everyone's sideways glances and said loudly: "Jiang Xinyu, you just want to drive me away!"
"Can you sit down and talk properly?"
"cannot!"
As soon as the private room door opened, a lieutenant colonel officer came out. He followed Tong Tong's noisy reputation and said in surprise: "Doctor Jiang? Is it really you?"
He strode over, stretched out a big hand from afar, held Jiang Xinyu's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously.
Jiang Xinyu looked at him and said tentatively: "Are you... Hu Zhanbiao?"
Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhanbiao said excitedly: "It's me!"
When Jiang Xinyu rescued him, Hu Zhanbiao was unshaven and his face was covered with torture wounds. He was very different from his current appearance.
Jiang Xinyu was also very excited. He didn't expect that Hu Zhanbiao was still alive and became a lieutenant colonel, a rank higher than his own.
After sitting down, Hu Zhanbiao said with emotion: "Doctor Jiang, if it weren't for you back then, my life would have been handed down long ago. This time when I was transferred to Yanjin, I was thinking about how to find the savior. I only knew that your surname was Jiang.
I don’t know anything about the others, but fortunately this young lady shouted loudly!”
Jiang Xinyu: "Have you been transferred to Yanjin?"
Hu Zhanbiao patted his empty right sleeve and said mockingly: "I have become a useless person! Finally, the commander took care of me and transferred me to the 43rd Division as the quartermaster!"
Only then did Jiang Xinyu notice that Hu Zhanbiao's right arm was missing and said, "What happened?"
"If the little devil's howitzer is more accurate, he can send me directly to see the Lord of Hell. If I can come back alive, I have saved my life!"
"Oh, I'm really lucky..."
Hu Zhanbiao looked indifferent and said: "Don't just talk about me, Doctor Jiang, where are you employed now?"
Hu Zhanbiao knew very well that Jiang Xinyu was either the military commander or the central commander.
Jiang Xinyu: "Juntong Yanjin Station Action Team."
Hu Zhanbiao thought for a moment and said: "I heard that the operations captain of Yanjin Station is also named Jiang..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "That's right!"
Hu Zhanbiao: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, unexpected..."
Tong Tong interjected from the side: "Do you still need to ask? Where can there be so many people named Jiang? You can guess it!"
Hu Zhanbiao: "Captain Jiang, who is this?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Miss Tongtong, she is a friend of mine."
Hu Zhanbiao took it for granted that they were in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, and praised: "Yes, he is quick to talk and quick to talk. This is a must-have character!"
Recognizing Tong Tong's Sichuan accent, Hu Zhanbiao also deliberately spoke in Sichuan dialect.
