CHAPTER 211: CHAPTER 211: MERCHANDISE HAULER

"Let’s break off our friendship."

The sudden remark left Wen Shi stunned, he was dumbfounded, "What did I do to make you want to break off our friendship?"

Yi Chichi looked at He Yunsong with interest, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Unexpectedly, the guy looked dejected, "Why didn’t you learn how to cook before?"

"No one taught me before."

Concise and straightforward, hitting the nail on the head.

He Yunsong sighed, "I never would have thought you had a talent for being a chef."

Yi Chichi looked at the dishes on the table, feeling that they indeed tasted good.

But they couldn’t compare to Wu Yongfei.

Wu Yongfei is the one with real chef talent.

Wen Shi was just slightly above average home-cooking level.

"Actually, as long as you use enough oil and seasonings, even a shoe sole can taste good."

He Yunsong thought this was nonsense, "You don’t understand, back in Border City, we once carried out a mission and intercepted enemy supplies, which really had everything we could want, but the outcome was indescribably bad."

"That must be purely due to poor skills, with a knack for making disaster recipes."

Saying that, she took a spoon and served him a bowl of soup, "If you like it, eat more, eat while it’s hot, don’t waste it."

"That’s not possible."

There’s only not enough to eat, never a situation where it’s wasted.

In fact, that was true. Wen Shi cooked for two and with He Yunsong’s extra presence, Yi Chichi, who ate a bit less, was full, but the two guys were not.

They had to cook some noodles to supplement the meal.

Ji Jian brought boiled eggs, and Yi Chichi peeled them and shared two with each person, "It’s too hot, help divide them up, so they don’t spoil on the road."

The remaining four would be eaten on the road tomorrow.

Great, she didn’t have to eat eight boiled eggs alone.

"Eat up."

Wife was too quick, Wen Shi and the others couldn’t even refuse, they had to finish a full bowl of noodles and eggs.

Then cleaned up pots and bowls.

He Yunsong followed closely, "Teach me how to cook."

"Why do you want to learn to cook?"

"To cook for Comrade Xiao Zhang and Grandpa after getting married, those two don’t know how to cook and eat in the canteen all day long, which is quite pitiful."

Wen Shi... They’re not even married yet, and already concerned about the grandpa and grandson’s daily meals.

Yi Chichi praised, "Very considerate, you should learn."

"Right."

He Yunsong was delighted, turned to Wen Shi and asked, "Will you teach me or not?"

"I’ll teach."

For the sake of his brother’s happiness, he was willing.

However, "Have you two confirmed your marriage?"

"Yes, tomorrow I’ll submit the report with Comrade Xiao Zhang."

Yi Chichi felt regretful, "Then I can’t attend your wedding."

He Yunsong, belatedly reminded of her departure, asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

He Yunsong was stunned, "I just got back and you’re leaving? I wanted to introduce you to Comrade Xiao Zhang as friends."

His partner on the island had few friends, not for lack of trying, but couldn’t connect with the ladies in the hospital.

Additionally, being busy with work, she’s been there for almost two years, but her life only revolves around home, the team medical room, and the hospital.

She hadn’t even been to the beach a few times.

Quite lonely.

Yi Chichi, being well-educated, surely would have topics to discuss with her and they had the potential to become friends.

However, she’s going back.

"Maybe next time, this time there’s really no way."

She only took a month off, if she didn’t return in time, the team leader might think she was kidnapped.

"That’s all we can do."

Besides accepting it, He Yunsong had no choice, he couldn’t stop Yi Chichi from going back anyway.

"Going out later?"

Wen Shi shook his head, "Not going."

Tomorrow they had to leave, going out wasn’t as good as enjoying some private time together.

He Yunsong smiled, "I’ll head back first, I’ll come again later."

Before the couple could respond, he had already walked off with long strides.

Yi Chichi watched him leave, "Why isn’t he with Comrade Xiao Zhang?"

Wen Shi, knowing him well, calmly stated, "He wants you to help take things back."

As predicted.

After about forty minutes, He Yunsong returned with bags in his hands.

"Malt milk for auntie, floral fabric for auntie to make clothes, Double Happiness cigarettes for Uncle Team Leader and the others, White Rabbit candy for Uncle Yaozi, Snow Cream for Aunt Mu, thanking her for taking care of Comrade Xiao Zhang..."

He handed over items one by one, then took out a roughly two-pound bag of White Rabbit candies for her, "Sister, this is yours."

Yi Chichi’s mouth twitched slightly, "I get some too?"

She thought she was purely a delivery tool, turns out she underestimated it.

"Of course, after all, you’re my brother’s wife, and since you’re helping to take things back, how could we forget you."

Afraid she might refuse, he directly handed over the White Rabbit candies, "Take it, you can’t say no."

"I wasn’t planning on refusing anyway."

Such a big bag of White Rabbit candies, when she gets back, they could last Qin Jiu and the others quite a while.

"Once I get back, I’ll send something for Wen Shi, and you’ll have a share too."

Valuing the brotherhood with He Yunsong, naturally Yi Chichi was willing to help maintain that bond.

He Yunsong nodded, "Alright!"

In a Sichuan accent.

Wen Shi paused for a moment, teasingly said, "Your accent has been influenced by Xiao Tong."

"You’ll get used to it."

He waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking it wouldn’t take long for it to revert back anyway.

After all the things were allocated, he let out a long breath, looking accomplished, "I’m leaving now, you guys go to bed early."

Wen Shi, with a lack of sincerity, symbolically urged him to stay, and He Yunsong, knowing himself to be a sensible person, didn’t agree, "You accompany Ms. Yi, I have plans with Comrade Xiao Zhang to go catch some seafood."

"Then hurry along, don’t keep Comrade Xiao Zhang waiting."

Wen Shi was more anxious than him, fearing delay might result in Comrade Xiao Zhang not wanting him, pushed him to the door and with a bang closed it, urging from behind the door, "Hurry up and go, I won’t see you off."

Standing in front of the closed door, He Yunsong looked at the clear sky, the moon was bright and the stars sparse, tomorrow would be another good day.

As for the annoying brother...

Out of consideration for Ms. Yi leaving tomorrow, he wouldn’t bother with Wen Shi.

He kicked off towards the courtyard gate, and just as he reached the Qi’s house entrance, with a creak, Qi Zhiyuan was pushed out.

"If you don’t buy White Rabbit candy for the daughter, don’t come back tonight."

Qi’s wife whispered with restrained anger, He Yunsong, ... Bad luck, he had cleared out all the White Rabbit candies from the store.

Old Qi would definitely find none at the store.

At this hour, the supply store was already closed, the city department store was still open, but by the time Old Qi got there, it would be closed too.

The only solution now...

"Buying White Rabbit?"

He paused his steps, waited until Qi Zhiyuan approached and asked in a suppressed voice.

Qi Zhiyuan gave a wry smile, "I had a bit of a bitter taste coming home and saw two White Rabbit candies on the table so I ate them, never thinking they were the last two that Jiajia was saving and didn’t want to eat, just to look at..."

At this point, he lifted his foot to leave, "Enough talk, I’m going to buy White Rabbit candy for my daughter."
