"Quickly, put your clothes back!" Tong Tong was very happy and took it for granted that Jiang Xinyu definitely wanted to ask her to watch a movie.
Xiao Niuqiao said in astonishment: "The clothes are not washed?"
"You don't understand anything, you're so stupid!" Tong Tong snatched the clothes, stuffed the movie tickets into his pocket, and hung them on the coat rack again.
After a while, Jiang Xinyu opened the door and walked in.
Xiaolan quickly brought up the food, including white steamed buns, porridge, a platter of pickles, and a plate of dried pickled fish.
"Breakfast should be lighter. It makes you appetite." Jiang Xinyu pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xiaolan said: "My lady taught me how to make pickles. I don't know if they suit your taste."
Jiang Xinyu picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dried fish, tasted it carefully for a while, and said with praise: "Okay, this side dish is well done!"
Xiaolan was very happy to receive the compliment from the owner and said: "I added some pepper water and thirteen incense to get rid of the fishy smell of the dried fish."
Tong Tong looked puzzled. He looked at the dishes on the plate and said, "Xiaolan, when did I teach you how to cook?"
Xiaolan quickly explained: "Oh, I'm talking about Miss Mina."
Tong Tong said oh and sat aside in a dull tone.
"Miss, it's really delicious. Try it." Little Button said from the side. She had already tasted these two side dishes in the kitchen.
Tong Tong had a sullen face, picked up a piece of salty radish strips with his chopsticks, and muttered, "I'm not used to Japanese food..."
Jiang Xinyu picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip. He observed the expression on Tong Tong's face and said, "Is it delicious?"
Japanese pickles have a unique flavor. After Xiaolan's careful improvement, they taste really good.
"Let's make do! It's not as delicious as the ones made with small buttons!" Tong Tongyan said insincerely.
Little Button said: "Miss, please try the dried fish again. Xiao Lan specially added sesame oil and chili oil. She said you will definitely like it..."
"Okay, okay, you have nothing to do here, get out!" Tong Tong said impatiently.
Little Button turned around and stuck out his tongue, then greeted Xiaolan and walked out.
Jiang Xinyu took a bite of the steamed buns, looked at Tong Tong, and said, "You didn't sleep well last night?"
"No, I slept well." Tong Tong absentmindedly scratched the porridge with his chopsticks.
"You slept well, are you still so angry?"
"I……"
Tong Tong hesitated to speak. She was jealous of Hattori Mina from far away in Japan, but she couldn't speak out, so she had to have an evil fight with Little Button.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu eating with gusto, Tong Tong couldn't help but said, "You still can't forget her."
"Who?" Jiang Xinyu said without raising his head.
"She." Tong Tong repeated stubbornly.
"Can't forget."
"People may have forgotten you a long time ago!"
Jiang Xinyu stopped using his chopsticks and said, "Can you let me finish the meal?"
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat, then eat more!" Tong Tong picked up a chopstick of dried fish and stuffed it into Jiang Xinyu's porridge bowl.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Not happy!"
Tong Tong slapped his chopsticks on the dining table, stood up and walked out.
Jiang Xinyu slowly ate the steamed buns, thinking about what Tong Tong said just now: People may have forgotten you a long time ago!
can you?
Half a year has passed, and except for a letter emphasizing sadness, there has been no news from Hattori Mina. Has she really forgotten herself...
Within a minute, Tong Tong left and came back again, with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Tongtong, I heard that you have an opera called face-changing in Sichuan. Have you ever learned it?"
Tong Tong thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, there is, but I don't know how."
After saying this, she immediately reacted and said coquettishly: "You hate it!"
Tong Tong sat down, took a sip from the porridge bowl, and said, "Tomorrow let Xiao Butou make small noodles, add more sesame seeds, and mix them with chili oil. That will be delicious! White porridge has no taste at all!"
Jiang Xinyu finally got used to Tongtong's fickle personality. He didn't pick up on her words and just ate by himself.
Tong Tong had nothing to say and said, "Xinyu, I saw the plane that Brother Wang was on."
"when?"
"I saw it in the yard half an hour ago."
"that is not."
"Why not? It's such a big plane, and I even saw the little buttons!"
"Wang Xuelin was on a military plane and left an hour ago. The plane you saw was flying northeast, right?"
"Yes……"
"Chongqing is in the southwest."
Tong Tong groaned and said in frustration: "I wanted to give one to Brother Wang as a gift, but I made a mistake!"
Jiang Xinyu shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've heard of someone giving it away like this!"
"Don't you understand? This is called seeing off!" Tong Tong said with a smile.
After Jiang Xinyu drank the last mouthful of porridge, he stood up and said, "Eat slowly, I've finished it."
Afraid that Jiang Xinyu would forget to watch the movie, Tong Tong reminded him: "I remember, today seems to be a public holiday. Can you take a rest today?"
"The station has been busy with official work recently and does not take any rest on public holidays." Jiang Xinyu sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper and read through it.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu didn't mention the movie tickets, Tong Tong put down his chopsticks unhappily and said, "You promised me that you would accompany me to see Peerless Beauty, and you won't keep your word!"
Jiang Xinyu said: "It's not that I don't keep my word. This movie has been reserved by the garrison, and I can't even buy tickets."
"You mean... you can't buy tickets?" Tong Tong's eyes widened.
"You don't believe it? I've asked Guangming, Zhonghua, and Xinguang, but they don't have votes."
"You..." Tong Tong endured and endured, but did not tell Jiang Xinyu that there were two movie tickets in his pocket.
She is very curious now, why did Jiang Xinyu lie?
Snow was falling outside the window. The snow came very quickly and soon turned into heavy snow. After ten minutes, the sky and the earth were completely white.
Jiang Xinyu slowly came to the window, looked at the flying snow in the sky, and said to himself: "It seems that the car can't be driven."
"You really didn't buy a movie ticket?" Tong Tong continued to ask persistently.
She still had a fantasy in her mind that Jiang Xinyu might have forgotten about it, and if she reminded her again and again, he might remember it.
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette, took two deep puffs, and said obviously perfunctorily: "I will accompany you when the garrison reservation is over, if I have time!"
The little girl came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw the young lady standing behind Jiang Xinyu, glaring angrily, like a fighting cock, ready to pounce on him at any moment.
"Miss……"
"what!"
"Are you OK?"
"fine!"
"…………"
"Ring ring ring!"
The phone rang suddenly.
Little Button reached out and picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Excuse me, is this Jiang's house?" There was a woman's soft voice on the other end of the phone.
"Yes. Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Engineer Jiang."
"Wait a mininute."
Little Button covered the phone, turned around and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm looking for your phone number."
Jiang Xinyu walked over, picked up the phone, and said: "Hi, I am. Oh, it's you... Okay, I'll pick you up right away. Okay, see you later."
A few minutes later, Jiang Xinyu put on his coat and said to Tong Tong: "I won't be back for dinner, so don't wait for me."
"It's snowing so heavily, where are you going?" Tong Tong asked.
"Official business." Jiang Xinyu put on his hat and walked out quickly.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing, Tong Tong sat on the sofa angrily, not knowing what to do.
Little Button came over and whispered: "Miss, just now, a woman was looking for Mr. Jiang..."
"Woman?" Tong Tong stood up suddenly, his eyebrows raised.
