"Going to someone’s house in the middle of the day, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
"What if it happens to be their mealtime?"
But the man had already changed his shoes, so Lu Jing had no choice but to let it go.
A few minutes later, Jiang Ye arrived at the Qin family’s house.
And sure enough, he hadn’t guessed wrong; the Qin family was just in the middle of their lunch, enjoying a large plate of crabs.
Mrs. Qin, who opened the door, hurriedly greeted him upon seeing Jiang Ye:
"Captain Jiang’s here? Come in and have something to eat."
Hearing the voice, Old Qin also stood up and came over: The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net
"Old Jiang, come have a couple of drinks."
"No thanks, sister-in-law, do you have any fresh vegetables at home?"
Mrs. Qin paused for a second before she snapped back to reality:
"Fresh vegetables? We have some bok choy left, will that do?"
Having vegetables was already good enough, no reason to be picky.
Mrs. Qin turned to go and fetch the vegetables when suddenly, Old Qin spoke up:
"Don’t bother with the bok choy. Didn’t you just make dumplings this morning? Give some to Old Jiang. It’s already late, and dumplings are convenient, not time-consuming."
Instantly, Mrs. Qin slapped her forehead:
"Right, how did I forget about that?
Captain Jiang, wait a second, I’ll go get them."
Jiang Ye felt somewhat embarrassed:
Even though he didn’t finish his sentence, the meaning was clear to anyone.
Immediately, Old Qin waved his hand:
"Don’t be a stranger with me."
Indeed, they were old comrades.
Quickly, Mrs. Qin brought out two large bags of frozen dumplings and also grabbed some bok choy:
"Captain Jiang, here, just right for boiling with the dumplings."
Jiang Ye hesitated, but in the next second, he was given an armful.
"Hurry and take them home to cook, isn’t your wife waiting at home?"
If it weren’t for someone at home, a grown man could make do anywhere, right?
With the conversation reaching this point, it would be unmanly to be fussy anymore.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need to be polite, hurry on back home."
Leaving the Old Qin family’s house, Jiang Ye hurried down the stairs.
Rushing all the way, he was about to enter his own building when his phone in his pocket rang.
