When Grandpa Kang heard Xia Songlan praising Kang Shengchen, he smiled even more happily. He liked to show off his son in front of others.

Nowadays, most families use this kind of infusion bottle to warm the bed. Only their family can use a hot water bottle because Kang Shengchen works in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The more Grandpa Kang thought about it, the more proud he became.

He said, "Songlan, you have started working now, buy a hot water bottle for your grandma when you get your salary.

This hot water bag is much safer to use than an IV bottle and won’t burn your skin as much.”

Niu Li was afraid that what her father-in-law said would make Xia Songlan unhappy, so she interrupted him several times, but unfortunately she failed to interrupt Grandpa Kang.

She looked at Xia Songlan awkwardly.

Xia Songlan remained calm, her facial expression not changing at all, and she nodded in agreement with Grandpa Kang's words.

She chatted with Grandpa Kang and asked about what happened today.

Only then did he begin to carefully check Grandpa Kang's ankle.

After the inspection, he gave Niu Li some instructions before saying goodbye.

During this period, Grandpa Kang never stopped talking, constantly showing off how filial his two sons were and how his two daughters-in-law took care of him.

Hearing Xia Songlan saying goodbye, she pointed to a plate of cakes on the table and said to Niu Li, "Second brother's family, pack some cakes for Songlan to take back, and let his grandmother have a taste too."

He turned around and said to Xia Songlan, "Songlan, these cakes were brought back by my eldest son when he came to see me today.

He said it's not good to buy, you can take it home and let your grandmother try it."

Xia Songlan caught a glimpse of the pastries when she entered the door. They were just some ordinary peach cakes, sugar triangles and the like, not particularly expensive snacks.

But she knew Grandpa Kang's character too well, he just liked to show off.

He quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Thank you, Grandpa Kang, Aunt Niu, you don't have to bring it for me. Let's leave it for Grandpa Kang to eat. It's good for his health."

Niu Li hasn't said anything yet.

Grandpa Kang said, "Well, since Song Lan said so, why don't you just give her some bone soup."

Niu Li, who was about to pack the pastries, had to retract her hand and looked at Xia Songlan awkwardly.

Xia Songlan waved her hands again: "No, no. It's too late. My grandma wants to eat pancakes. I have already prepared the sauce for her at home."

After Xia Songlan finished speaking, she said goodbye and left.

Niu Li trotted to the kitchen, scooped up a large bowl of bone soup, and followed Xia Songlan.

She knew that Xia Songlan's grandmother didn't like dealing with the neighbors, so she just stood at the door and knocked.

Xia Songlan came out in response.

Niu Li hurriedly handed over the bowl, "Song Lan, my father-in-law is just that kind of person, don't think too much about it."

Xia Songlan smiled and shook her head, "Aunt Niu, you are too serious. Those cakes are indeed suitable for Grandpa Kang to eat. Let him eat them. It will be good for his health.

This bone soup smells delicious. Since Aunt Niu has brought it, I will accept it and give it to Chuanbai. He is growing taller now."

Niu Li originally felt bad for Xia Songlan's enthusiasm in treating her father-in-law.

My father-in-law still shows off his wealth in front of others and does those ridiculous things. I'm really afraid that Xia Songlan will be angry.

But she observed Xia Songlan for a long time and saw that she showed no signs of being angry, so she felt relieved.

Seeing that she had collected more bone soup, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let Chuanbai drink it. If it's not enough, I'll scoop more. I've made a big pot."

"No need, Aunt Niu, this is enough." Xia Songlan said as she took the bowl in.

He poured the bone soup into his own bowl, washed the bowl, and brought it back to Niu Li.

With a smile on her face, she watched Niu Li go home.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the house, Grandma Liu came over from the side and said, "Tsk tsk, I heard everything just now, that Grandpa Kang is really something.

I went to his house today, and he showed off in front of me for a long time. The snacks he had were just some peach cakes. What was there to show off about? "

Xia Songlan listened to Grandma Liu's nagging with a smile, but did not respond or join in the conversation. She changed the subject and talked about something else, then went back to the house on the pretext of cooking.

She never took these little things to heart.

She is now more concerned about how to get out of the plot.

Although Ning Jingmo seems a little unreliable, it is really the best choice at the moment.

Xia Songlan was thinking about her worries while cooking.

Finally, I decided to tell my grandfather about this when I go to his house tomorrow.

In the evening, Xia Songlan ate some dragon beard noodles with the bowl of pork ribs soup.

There were three poached eggs inside, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, and two drops of sesame oil were added when it was served.

Xia Chuanbai ate with great relish, and even his grandmother drank a few more sips of the soup.

The next day was the weekend, and it was also the day when Xia Songlan went to her grandfather's house every week.

Grandma has long been used to it and doesn't care.

Xia Songlan also kept silent about it, as if this was really drawing a line between them.

In the morning, she had breakfast with her grandmother before going out with her bag.

Just walked to the door.

A young man in military uniform rushed in from outside. If Xia Songlan hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would have bumped into each other.

In such a cold day, this young PLA comrade actually had sweat all over his forehead.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and apologized, "I'm sorry, comrade, I didn't bump into you, did I?"

Xia Songlan shook her head, "No, are you okay?"

The young man wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I'm fine. Excuse me, comrade, is this Courtyard No. 6, Jing'er Hutong?"

Xia Songlan nodded and looked at him puzzledly.

The young man asked again: "Do you know Comrade Xia Songlan?"

Xia Songlan looked at the young man in military uniform and felt he looked very unfamiliar. She had never seen him before.

He asked in surprise, "What do you want to do with her?"

"Oh, our captain asked me to deliver a letter to her."

"Who is your captain?" Xia Songlan asked with a frown.

"Our captain is Comrade Xia Songlan's fiancé, and they are currently dating."

The image of Ning Jingmo immediately appeared in Xia Songlan's mind.

Just at this moment, Grandma Zhang came out from the yard and asked, "Why hasn't Songlan left yet?"

When the young man heard that she was Xia Songlan, he smiled and took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her with both hands, "You are Comrade Xia Songlan."

The young man stared at Xia Songlan and smiled, "No wonder our captain said that the most beautiful girl is her!

This is a letter from our captain to you."

After saying that, he stuffed the letter directly into Xia Songlan's hand, "Comrade Xia Songlan, I have something urgent to do. Goodbye."

He turned around and trotted away.

Grandma Zhang was confused. "Songlan, who gave you the letter?"

Xia Songlan put the letter into her bag. "Oh, a friend. Grandma Zhang, I won't say any more to you. I have to catch the bus."

Grandma Zhang hurriedly urged, "Go quickly, go quickly. The road is slippery, be careful."

Xia Songlan walked out of Jing'er Hutong, turned around and saw that there was no one in the yard, then took out the letter from her pocket.

The handwriting on the letter was firm and powerful, completely different from the nonchalant attitude that Ning Jingmo showed in front of her.

It's a little sloppy, probably written in a hurry.

There was only one sentence: "The marriage application has been submitted to the organization, don't worry."

The last two words were dragged out again and replaced with "Remember to think of me".
