His predecessor failed

Chapter 110 Old Joe who loves to eat for free

When He Qiaojin came back, he saw three dishes and one soup on the table. These were not just ordinary three dishes and one soup. They were obviously prepared by a master chef.

The braised bones were neatly arranged, with attractive colors and full of meat; the steamed sausages were fragrant and looked like flowers on the plate. If He Qiaojin had not washed his hands, he would have grabbed a piece first; I don’t know what the water spinach was fried with, it looked green and had a rich flavor; the casserole contained the refreshing winter melon and bone soup.

Captain Qiao, who followed He Qiaojin in, was drooling. He was so jealous. He, a captain, didn't eat as well as his subordinates. They either had to eat in the cafeteria or go home to eat steamed buns.

Seeing how good the food is at He Qiaojin's house, he wants to come and eat every day. Today, He Qiaojin happened to talk to him about Chen Xiaoyun, so he took a little time and followed He Qiaojin home to eat. He was afraid that He Qiaojin's wife might not prepare enough food, so he went to the cafeteria to get some food. But looking at the dishes, wow, there must be enough food. Nowadays, people cook according to the amount of food at home. Fortunately, he brought rice, otherwise it would not be nice if there was not enough rice for such good food.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry for preparing so many dishes! Hehe!"

Pushing He Qiaojin, who was in the way, aside, Captain Qiao circled around Su Zhuzhu like a lackey, his eyes fixed on the dining table.

Look, look, this craftsmanship, the fragrance can be smelled in the yard, He Qiaojin is more fortunate than him!

Without being invited, Captain Qiao pulled a chair and sat down, opening the lunch boxes he brought with him. One box contained dishes from the cafeteria, including shredded potatoes with vinegar and stir-fried pork with pumpkin, and the other box contained white rice.

"He Qiaojin, hurry up and sit down, what are you waiting for such delicious food? You really don't know how to appreciate the good things you have!"

He Qiaojin, who was being disliked for no reason, walked up to Captain Qiao and walked out without saying a word.

"Mana? Mani?"

"I'm here and you're trying to get me out. Is that the way you treat people? Is that the way you treat your comrades? You can't even bear to give me something good to eat!"

He Qiaojin looked at the rogue Captain Qiao and couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out two words,

"handwashing!"

After He Qiaojin's explanation, Captain Qiao's expression changed drastically in an instant. He became playful again, but with the weathered face of a middle-aged man, he looked quite funny.

"Oh, that's what I said. We've been comrades for so many years, and you're still afraid to treat me to a meal. Really, hehe!"

Looking at the man in front of him who was taking advantage of him and still acting like a good boy, he didn't look like the leader of a group at all, but a real rogue. He Qiaojin didn't even want to recall how this man had just been trying to beg him to go home for dinner.

If He Qiaojin had his own little thoughts, he wouldn't want to bring this cosmic light bulb home for dinner. Captain Qiao is a talkative person, and it's quite annoying to chatter along non-stop.

However, what happened this morning has angered his wife, and he doesn't know how serious the consequences will be. He Qiaojin plans to take someone back with him, thinking that with outsiders around, maybe his wife will let him go.

It just so happened that Captain Qiao was planning to go to his house for a free meal. After the two of them thought about it, they thought it was just right and they both felt very satisfied with each other, so they showed up at He Qiaojin and Su Zhuzhu's house together.

Su Zhuzhu listened to the bickering coming from outside and couldn't help laughing in the kitchen. While laughing, she looked at today's dishes. Well, it was quite rich, enough for three adults. Even if there were not enough dishes, there were still braised bones in the pot. She could just scoop them out and eat them.

The rice was enough to fill us up. Su Zhuzhu would have cooked more anyway. She was always prepared. Besides, Captain Qiao also brought a large box of rice.

When the two men came in after washing their hands and wiping their faces, Su Zhuzhu was already sitting there waiting for them to start eating.

The three of them ate and talked about what happened in the morning. Although He Qiaojin didn't want to bring up this bad thing, he couldn't help but feel that his wife was chatting excitedly with Lao Qiao. However, seeing that his wife's mood had almost recovered, He Qiaojin was relieved. It was a very correct decision to bring Lao Qiao back for dinner.

There has been no progress in Chen Xiaoyun's case so far. He was taken to the army for resettlement, but when asked, he started crying and couldn't explain anything.

As for He Qiaojin, the matter had been mentioned to the army during the last martyr pension work, and the army had also investigated it thoroughly. It was really an injustice and a completely unprovoked disaster. This man was good-looking, had a good family background, and was good in ability, but he had become a burden.

He Qiaojin firmly disagreed to get involved in Chen Xiaoyun's affairs, and the army couldn't force him. After all, this was not He Qiaojin's job. And why did they get He Qiaojin involved? Would it give Chen Xiaoyun hope? Or did they have to coax Chen Xiaoyun?

Don't even think about it. He Qiaojin has no objection but the army dares not. If the He family knew that the military district let the only son of the He family sell his body, they would kill them. What's more, Deputy Commander He's new wife lives in the army's family compound. If it weren't for Chen Xiaoyun, Deputy Commander He would have got the marriage certificate today. He has been running around for logistics every day and has stepped on the floor. It was not easy to get the car turned around, but then he encountered this terrible thing. Who would dare to stab someone in the heart? I'm afraid he must be tired of living.

To be honest, Captain Qiao didn't have any intention to talk about Chen Xiaoyun at all. He would do whatever he wanted according to his temper. How could such a large military region be morally blackmailed by such an unreasonable family?

The last time the Chen family made trouble, the army tried to calm them down and gave them more pensions to persuade them to go back. People like this are greedy and never give up. It's not that Old Qiao despises the families of martyrs, but some people just can't do that. It has nothing to do with the martyrs. They are just blood relatives and that cannot be changed.

Captain Qiao first moistened his throat with two bowls of winter melon and bone soup, which he finished in no time. After drinking the soup, he started to make rice. There was a plate of sausages, so he was afraid that there would not be enough rice.

Originally, the two men didn't like the fermented bean curd and water spinach, as it looked a bit sticky, so they didn't pick up their chopsticks and just happily gnawed on the sauced bones.

It was not until Su Zhuzhu picked up a piece of water spinach with fermented bean curd for He Qiaojin with chopsticks that He Qiaojin became so happy that he quickly ate the dish.

You won’t know how delicious it is until you try it. You’ll be addicted to it. It’s amazing that vegetables can be made into such a flavor, and they are so fresh and tender.

He Qiaojin, who had activated his skills, immediately picked up another piece with chopsticks and placed it on the rice, then put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was salty and fragrant, and went well with rice, just as good as sausage.

Captain Qiao, who had been gnawing on the marinated bones all the time, began to doubt himself when he saw He Qiaojin's reaction. Could it be that they had never eaten this dish before? It shouldn't be that He Qiaojin was like this!

Even though he thought so, it did not stop Captain Qiao from picking up his chopsticks.

After eating a handful of fermented bean curd and water spinach, Captain Qiao's taste buds were completely opened. The taste was absolutely amazing! The rice was really not enough!
