43 Eating (1/2)

Jiang Kechu would never have thought that he would be called an uncle at the age of twenty-six. Moreover, it was a sixteen year old girl. He felt his forehead twitching.

He felt as if he had seen Wan Chao's banter, and his heart froze. This girl was doing it on purpose!

That's right, Wan Chao did it on purpose, so she called him Uncle Jiang on purpose. After she finished calling him uncle, she felt that the term 'uncle' was very good.

This way, she and Jiang Kechu were not of the same generation, and it was impossible for them to continue in that direction. This could also be considered a way to draw a clear line.

Seeing Jiang Kechu's patient expression, Wan Chao shouted again, ”Uncle Jiang, why have you come to our house?”

She had just seen the sorrow on Bai Zhexi's face.

It would be best if this Jiang Kechu had a good excuse. If he just wanted to take a look, then he might as well not come.

Seeing that Wan Chao was a bit hot and pressing, Bai Zhexi quickly pulled her and said, ”Chao'er, don't be rude. Comrade Jiang has sent over the military pension.”

Pension?

Didn't the pension come at the time of the sacrifice? Why is it still so many years ago?

Seeing the sharp gaze of this little girl staring at him, Jiang Kechu knew that she was not easy to get rid of.

He thought for a while, then explained, ”Many people in the army have been cared for by Commander Wan. When they heard that I was coming here, they gathered some money for me to bring over.”

Wan Chao was silent for a few seconds, then said, ”Oh, so you came on the way.”

The people his father had cared for hadn't shown up once in the past six years, and now that their lives were looking good, what was the use of these so-called pensions?

Bai Zhexi and Jiang Ke Chu had seen all the complaints clearly on Wan Chao's face.

Jiang Kechu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.

Bai Zhexi felt that her daughter was a little too naive, so she quickly pushed Wan Chao into the room. ”Chao'er, you read first. Mom will make dinner soon.”

Then she turned to Jiang Ke Chu, ”Sorry, Comrade Jiang, I've spoiled Chao'er. This child lost her father at such a young age …”

Faced with the remains of a kind-hearted and grieving martyr, Jiang Kechu could only reply with a deep voice, ”That's okay, we've indeed failed.”

”If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. If you need anything in the future, you can make a call.”

Earlier, he had left a phone number for Bai Zhexi.

Bai Zhexi said ”It's time to eat. You probably haven't eaten yet, so you should stay here for a meal before leaving. I'll be able to prepare it very soon.”

”No need, I'm not hungry yet.”

Bai Zhexi said ”You're a comrade in the imperial army. It's rare for you to come here, and you even brought so many things. How can you leave without even eating a meal? If the imperial army finds out, they will definitely blame me.”

It was not easy for him to come all the way here. Bai Zhexi's attitude of inviting Jiang Kechu to eat was very sincere and very cordial.

In the end, Bai Zhexi had kept Jiang Kechu, and Jiang Kechu couldn't find any words to reject her.

In the room, Wan Chao listened to the sounds in the living room.

When he heard that Jiang Kechu had no other choice but to stay for the meal, she humphed.

”Don't you, Jiang Kechu, know how to speak? I didn't expect you to be in such a difficult situation”.

Thinking that she would have to eat at the same table as Jiang Kechu later, Wan Chao's thoughts became complicated, and the book in her hands didn't move for a long time.
