The meal took more than an hour, and when we left, the driver came to pick us up.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, you and Zhenzhen can take the car. Yanyan and I will walk back."

"Brother, your injury..."

Ning Yu pulled her daughter and said, "Okay, we'll leave first. You guys can go back slowly. It's okay."

Ning Yu pulled Si Zhen into the car. The young couple wanted to enjoy their own world, so we shouldn’t be the third wheel.

Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing until she saw the car driving away.

Si Lu walked on the road with Jiang Yan very restrainedly. In fact, what he was doing now was to hold his wife in his arms and hold her close to him.

"I heard from Dad that Auntie came today? And she said a lot of nonsense again?"

"I was upstairs and heard that her eldest son was getting married. He might have mentioned our family again. The woman was asking for a lot more things and wanted a place for her brother to join the army."

Jiang Yan sighed softly, and then continued: "Dad said that every year the street promotes that being a soldier is glorious, and anyone can be a soldier as long as it is legal and compliant. But your aunt is hesitant, it seems that the girl's brother must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't ask for a quota."

"That cannot be agreed to."

"From what I can see, the Wang family won't give up until they achieve their goal. I'm afraid there will be more trouble!"

Si Lu also felt a headache, "My father always feels that he owes her, and he has done his best for her. In recent years, the Wang family has become more and more restless, and my father is also very troubled."

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes, "Um...how are your relationships with those children from the Wang family?"

"Not very good? Why do you think of asking this?"

"Didn't dad ask me and Zhenzhen to make reservations for dinner? After we made reservations, we had nothing to do, so we went shopping in the department store. I bought two pieces of clothing for Zhenzhen, and we happened to run into your aunt, Wang Mei."

"What's up with her?"

Jiang Yan showed a speechless expression, "She asked me to buy two for her as well, and said that I am her sister-in-law and should treat my younger sister equally. I can't just buy one for Zhenzhen and not for her."

"What kind of sister is she?"

In theory, the Wang family is a legitimate relative of the Si family, and they are close cousins. However, the Wang family is always courting death, and they have to go to the Si family every once in a while to show their presence, which makes it difficult for people to get close to them.

What’s even more hateful is that, I don’t know if it’s because of bad feng shui in their family, or if Si Xinnian was given some kind of magic potion, but his aunt’s temperament has changed drastically, and she has become a hated person by everyone.

"How about we teach the Wang family a lesson?"

"Attend class?"

Jiang Yan said: "It is a bit embarrassing to attack a serious relative and an elder in front of him. But I don't feel any burden behind his back."

Si Lu smiled, he liked to see his wife scheming against others, she was cunning yet a bit ruthless, like a crazy little pepper, she was likable no matter how you looked at her.

"What do you want to do?"

"Check that man to find out why he can't join the army. Also, what does your uncle want to do?"

The two of them walked towards home while talking, "Wife, I'm still injured."

"Well! Why don't you stay at home and recover, and I'll check it out myself."

"No, let Lei Zi go! I think it's just a small matter, you don't need to go out in person."

Jiang Yan thought of the man in Jianzi Hutong, "You are still in contact, how is he now?"

"His luck has improved a lot since you found the thing on the beam." It's strange to say, Si Lu never believed in these things before. In this special era, these are old ideas that must be overthrown.

But can science really explain everything?

What about what the 857th Bureau is researching now? What about what he saw after he switched from military to political office?

Therefore, the end of science is metaphysics.

"Then let him investigate, and we just wait for the news. Once we know the truth, we will have a clear mind when doing things." Otherwise, she would be too ruthless and hurt the harmony among relatives, which would be bad, right?

Even though Jiang Yan didn't say anything, Si Lu knew what she was planning, but he didn't intend to object.

Some people are always taking advantage of others. If you don't deal with them, they will sooner or later cause a big mess for you.

The two changed their route and went to Jianzi Hutong to look for Lei Zi, but unfortunately, he was not at home.

There is no other way, I have to make an appointment another day, or maybe I won’t look for him and just check it myself.

It was already past seven o'clock when the two returned home.

Si Qianjin was still awake, and Si Guangming also had a rare chance to rest without having to deal with official business. The whole family gathered in the living room drinking tea, reading newspapers, and chatting, as if they were all waiting for the young couple to come back.

Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"Yanyan, come here quickly. I just made some tea. Have some." Ning Yu poured a cup for her daughter-in-law, then looked up at Si Lu and said, "Forget it. You can't drink while you are recovering from your injuries."

Si Zhen handed him two plums.

"Washed."

Jiang Yan took a sip of tea, and under the gaze of the whole family, she couldn't help but praise, "Mm, good tea, really fragrant."

Si Qianjin laughed and said, "I stole this from my old comrade. It tastes good, doesn't it?"

"Grandpa, you stole your comrade's tea again."

Si Qianjin laughed loudly and said, "Yan Laoliu is just a rough guy who knows nothing. He is a rough guy. If he drinks this tea, it will be wasted."

Jiang Yan laughed secretly, and even Ning Yu looked at him in a dilemma.

Jiang Yan felt that things were not that simple. The old man usually came early, but today it seemed as if he was waiting for her to come back here on purpose.

"Grandpa, is there something wrong?" Si Lu also noticed it, so he simply spoke for Jiang Yan to avoid his wife being unable to open her mouth if something really happened.

"Ah, you little brat." The old man didn't feel embarrassed and asked Jiang Yan, "Yan Yan, are you going to see the leaders for a follow-up visit tomorrow?"

"Well, I need to make a phone call to confirm the time." Jiang Yan heard that Si Qianjin went to the sanatorium to visit his comrades this afternoon, and he probably brought the tea back from there.

What the old man meant was...

"grandfather?"

"Ah, I just wonder if you can also go to the sanatorium and take a look at my old comrades, those old guys who are injured and sick."

He was a little embarrassed, like a child who made an unreasonable request. "Well, what? They all have pensions and money, but they don't have a good place on their bodies. They are old and useless. I was thinking, you said they have fought for their whole lives, even if they are going to die, they should die comfortably, right? How can they die without being able to lift their arms or straighten their legs?"

Jiang Yan was about to cry.

Don’t these heroes who have dedicated their entire lives to the country and the people deserve a healthy and happy old age?

They are worth it.
