Chapter 968: Chapter 0968: Meeting the In-Laws 1
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue escorted the young couple to the army barracks’ entrance and watched them enter.
"Xiaoyue, remember the location of the guesthouse I told you about, Xibao and I are staying there recently." They usually stayed in different guesthouses to visit junkyards and flea markets, but what were antiques in comparison to Lu Tianjun’s life decisions? So they decided to settle down temporarily and wait for a response from the Jiang Family.
Jiang Xiaoyue waved her hand, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it all memorized!"
Lu Tianjun took her to the entrance of the barracks and shared half of the packed skewers with her, "Take these back for Uncle Jiang and your brother and sister-in-law to enjoy. Warm them up before eating, they smell stronger when cold. The things your aunt and uncle brought were taken to my dorm this morning, including something for you, a big suitcase. I’ll bring it to you after training tomorrow."
"Why don’t you bring it today?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked, tilting her head, holding the lunchbox with the skewers.
Lu Tianjun smiled and said, "Because I want to see you tomorrow, delivering things is a ready-made excuse, you should appreciate my painstaking efforts."
Jiang Xiaoyue’s face turned red in an instant, and she dashed into the courtyard, faster than a rabbit.
"Xiaoyue, what are you running for? Your face is as red as a monkey’s butt!" Jiang Yun, squatting at the bottom of the building watching other children roll hoops, found it strange when his daughter ran in and immediately called out to her.
The conditions at the Capital Military Region were better than other places, and the barracks were built with apartment buildings.
Jiang Yun, being older, was assigned a ground-floor apartment to avoid climbing stairs, plus the interior was spacious, fitting his position.
Jiang Xiaoyue touched her face and stamped her foot, "Dad, can’t you be more refined? What you said is so crude. Monkey’s butt, it sounds horrible. Does my face look like a monkey’s butt?"
Jiang Yun stood up, hands on hips, completely bewildered, "I’ve described it like that before, and you never got mad. What’s different today? If not a monkey’s butt, what should I use? A big red cloth? It means the same, doesn’t it?"
"You could describe it as the rosy clouds on the horizon!" Rosy like the clouds, how pleasant to hear.
"Give me a break, I’ll be saying ’sunset over West Mountain with rosy clouds flying’ next! My son has been straightforward for almost twenty years, when did he become so finicky?" Jiang Yun was not buying into his daughter’s act but sniffed intently, his eyes fixating on the lunchbox in her hand, "Why do I smell the scent of Donglaishun’s roasted lamb?"
"It’s actually Ethnic Restaurant!" Jiang Xiaoyue pushed the lunchbox into his hands, "Here, we brought it especially for you."
Jiang Yun took the lunchbox into the house, opening the lid as he went, "We? Who did you go out to eat with? Wow, so much roasted lamb, how much did it cost? Do you have enough salary left for this month?"
Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t answer him but took back the lunchbox, "The lamb has a strong smell when cold, let me warm it up for you."
Warming meant pouring some oil into the pot on the gas stove and quickly stir-frying a third of the skewers before serving them.
Though it was only a third from the lunchbox, it filled the plate.
Jiang Yun had already taken out his wine and peanuts, the wine purchased by himself, but the peanuts were sent to Jiang Xiaoyue by Feng Qingxue. He took a sip of wine, ate a few peanuts, then a piece of lamb, his eyes squinting with pleasure, "Old son, your old man hasn’t spoiled you for nothing, the first time you go out for a meal, you remember to bring back some meat for your father."
