Chapter 405: He isn't a puppet; he has his own thoughts, okay?

Generally, restaurants do not support taking food away directly, to prevent some customers from being unreasonable and finding excuses to trouble the restaurant, such as food poisoning.

Such situations happen from time to time, so to prevent accidents, they do not support packing food to go if it isn't eaten in the restaurant.

After Jiang Ye understood the situation, he swore as a soldier and patiently explained that his wife and children had been traveling for a long time, having sat on a train for almost a week, and were currently exhausted in the guesthouse. In desperation, he had come out to buy food to pack and take back.

After the person in charge of the restaurant learned that this person was a soldier, they had no concerns and ordered the service staff to pack it up.

For no other reason than the soldier's identity, they trusted him unconditionally.

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Ye thanked them politely, not expecting that one day, his soldier identity would help him.

The person in charge of the restaurant was also very polite and sighed from the heart:

"You're welcome. Soldier comrades deserve the respect of us ordinary people. You have made outstanding contributions to protecting the country, so we ordinary people can have a good life to live..."

The identity of a soldier in this era is a kind of integrity, a kind of safety, and a kind of convincing existence.

There is no soldier who would disgrace this identity.

Therefore, they believed in this person's character.

Just like that, Jiang Ye waited for half an hour, successfully received the packed food, and got up to say goodbye.

This small episode didn't attract too much attention.

Going back and forth, plus waiting for the meal to be served, when Jiang Ye returned, his wife and children in the room were still sleeping soundly.

In this weather, the food wouldn't get cold very quickly.

However, cold food definitely wouldn't taste as good.

So he woke his wife up, let her put the food into the sub-space first, and said he was going out for a trip and would be back in a while.

"Okay, come back early. I'm going to sleep for another hour."

Shen Man's chaotic brain was rarely clear; after putting away the food, she fell back to sleep.

The ability to fall asleep in a second is also a kind of talent.

Jiang Ye stared at his wife's flushed cheeks for a while and leaned over to kiss his wife's cheek.

He pulled the blanket up for his wife again, folded the nightgown in the bag neatly by his wife's hand, and then left reluctantly.

He prepared to go downstairs to the newsstand to contact Lao Han.

He had let Lao Han investigate Gu Tingchen before, and they had found out quite a few interesting things.

This time, it was the one surnamed Gu who made the first move; he was acting under orders to investigate thoroughly and would never be lenient.

A plan to lure the snake out of its hole had taken shape in his mind.

He needed Lao Han's help.

The public telephone in the newsstand showed an unfamiliar number; usually, the Han family wouldn't answer it.

But Han Mingguang had been waiting for his brother to contact him recently, so naturally, he wouldn't miss every call.

When the family was dining, the landline at home rang.

*Ring-a-ling. *

With a look from Father Han, Han Mingguang immediately stood up smoothly, "Dad, it's my comrade-in-arms; I'll go answer the phone first."

Hearing that it was his son's comrade-in-arms, Father Han's expression softened slightly, and he nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Since it was his son's comrade-in-arms, he didn't doubt his character and temperament.

Mother Han silently put down her chopsticks and smiled gently, "I'll serve you some seaweed soup first; nourish your stomach first."

"I don't know if it's that comrade-in-arms from the Sea Island; the other party sent quite a few rare items to our family. If he has come to the Capital, let our son pick him up, so we can fulfill our duty as hosts."

Father Han had been in a high position for many years; even though he was retired now, his temperament remained.

While speaking, the oppression of a superior was full.

But soon, he was glared at by his wife and restrained himself a bit.

Han Mingguang couldn't wait to answer the phone, and at the other end of the receiver, the voice of his good brother indeed rang out.

"Lao Han, I've come to the Capital."

"Lao Jiang, you've finally come. Did you just get off the train? Shall I drive to pick you up? Stay at my house tonight."

"No need, I arrived at noon. It's not convenient; my wife and children are all tired and are resting at the guesthouse."

Jiang Ye politely declined his good brother's kindness and then said:

"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. Tomorrow morning, come to the guesthouse to find me; we'll find a quiet place to have a good chat."

"Alright, then we'll do as you say; I'll come find you tomorrow."

Han Mingguang understood in a second; so his good brother had come with his family, so it was indeed not appropriate to come to his house.

After a simple exchange, he hung up the phone, then sat back at the dining table and told his parents that his brother had brought his wife and children to the Capital, and he wanted to pick his brother's family up to eat at home tomorrow morning, just for lunch, and asked his mother if she could cook?

"Why wouldn't I be able to? Little Jiang saved your life back then, and we haven't invited them to a proper meal to express our gratitude."

Mother Han glared at her son reproachfully, and after expressing her welcome, she went on a rant—

"Look at you, how old are you? You still don't have a partner. Look at Little Jiang; his children are almost two years old!"

"Among all the descendants in the Grand Courtyard, you're the only one single. Other people's parents are enjoying their old age and holding their grandchildren; you should put in some effort."

"Don't treat your camera like a treasure; all day long, aside from work, you're just tinkering with your camera in your room..."

Mother Han had originally just wanted to complain, but she didn't expect to get more and more worked up as she spoke.

Sigh, their old Han family only had two branches.

Their main branch only had this only son born to her and her husband.

The younger brother of the second branch had been single until now.

A few years ago, they sent their son to his uncle's care, not expecting this child to risk his life in the army...

Later, after that incident happened, they immediately took their son away!

The old Han family was down to one line; their son couldn't have anything happen to him, otherwise, their old Han family would have no descendants!

"I know, I know, Mom, don't nag, otherwise it won't be good if you get early menopause."

Han Mingguang curled his lips; when he was at home, his mother complained that he wasn't doing his proper job.

He went to join the army and risked his life to earn military merit.

But it was also his mother who didn't want him to earn military merit in danger anymore, and she cried and begged his uncle to send him away and transfer him.

He isn't a puppet; he has his own thoughts, okay?

But he grew up in love and couldn't resent his parents, so he diverted his attention and made photography and buying cameras his new hobby.

Originally, it was just to divert his attention, but he didn't expect that once he entered photography, it would be as deep as the sea, and from then on, he fell in love with photography...

Photography occupied his mind, not to mention he had to work step by step; he could only squeeze out time for photography!

Naturally, he had no time to think about dating.

And there was also the fact that he had gone on blind dates arranged by his parents, but those female comrades looked at people with their nostrils, looked down on his income, and even said his hobby was worthless!

This, could he endure this?

He retorted and retorted, making several female comrades cry, and then the blind date sessions were gone.

Yeah, he ruined them himself.

In short, he didn't regret it; he liked photography and would stick with it.

As for a partner, it was the same whether he had one or not; anyway, if he hadn't met someone he liked, he would rather stay single!

It was just, how come his good brothers were all getting off the single market one by one, getting married and having children, while he was the only one who felt out of place!

*Sob, sob, sob*, he had been backstabbed by his brothers! ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
