Chapter 216: Chapter 218: The Living Yama Returns Home Chapter 216: Chapter 218: The Living Yama Returns Home “We clearly agreed to go shopping together, but Captain Xu just came and whisked you away, leaving me behind by myself,” Zhang Hongmei wasn’t really angry; the most crucial thing was that she felt so nervous in front of Living Yama that her legs were trembling, and she didn’t even have the courage to be angry.

Fortunately, Sheng Ning went with Living Yama. If she had followed me, I wouldn’t have known what to do the whole way.

“Sorry!” It was always her fault for abandoning someone halfway.

“It’s okay, did you manage to buy some yarn?” Zhang Hongmei put down the things she had bought and organized the colorful yarn. It looked a bit messy, but the quality was quite good.

“This is the discounted yarn I bought, the leftovers that weren’t enough for a whole sweater. Super cheap, just mix up a few colors, and you can knit a sweater,” Zhang Hongmei said about her expertise, her honest face filled with confidence.

“Really pretty.”

“Really?” Originally, buying discounted cheap yarn made Zhang Hongmei feel a bit inferior, but hearing Sheng Ning say that, she looked at her excitedly.

“Of course. Next time you buy some, get some for me too. I want to knit one as well.” Sheng Ning took out the yarn she had purchased and tenderly presented it to Zhang Hongmei, “Look, this is what I bought. I’m planning to knit one for my dad, mom, and sister.”

“That’s not enough! It could only be enough for two people at most.” Zhang Hongmei estimated that she really didn’t know how to knit and explained, “A grown man normally needs two jin of yarn, and this is probably about four jin, right? That’s enough for two people, and not much will be left over, maybe just enough to knit a scarf.”

“Uh…” She thought one jin would be enough!

Zhang Hongmei was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed the yarn Sheng Ning had placed on top, “This is wool, isn’t it? Very expensive.”

“This isn’t something I bought; it’s for a friend who asked me to help knit it,” Sheng Ning awkwardly explained.

“I know!” It must be Living Yama’s, hearing how the war heroes enjoy special allowances, no wonder he could afford such expensive yarn.

“Teach me how to knit!”

“Sure! We’ll start tonight.”

City Train Station
Xu Qigang walked among the bustling crowd, people couldn’t help but make way wherever he passed.

Zhou Hong was checking the luggage on the platform and rolled his eyes when he saw Xu Qigang.

This guy, always the center of attention wherever he went. Even though he wasn’t doing it on purpose, it still made him seem like he was asking for a beating.

Too bad he couldn’t beat him.

Xu Qigang had gone to buy cigarettes, he handed a pack to Zhou Hong and put his own pack in his pocket.

“Did something happen back home? Why the rush to go back?” Zhou Hong asked, puzzled.

“Indeed, something came up!” Xu Qigang had received a letter from home a day earlier than Sheng Ning, which made him decide to go back home immediately to settle the marriage arrangements.

The reason he went to see Xiao Ning this morning was also because of this.

“Now that you’re going back home, be careful of Shen Jianguo seizing the opportunity,” Zhou Hong said with schadenfreude.

“Then you’ll have to keep an eye on it for me.”

“Your wife, you want me to keep an eye on her, does that make sense?”

“That’s your elder sister-in-law.”

Zhou Hong felt like he had dug two pits for himself. Sheng Ning, that girl, was just eighteen years old, and in the future, he would have to call her elder sister-in-law. Why did it feel a bit awkward?

“Don’t worry. If Shen Jianguo thinks he can take advantage of our War Wolf Rescue Team, no chance!”

Xu Qigang saw Zhou Hong speaking fiercely and raised an eyebrow, “You don’t get along with Shen Jianguo?” In fact, Xu Qigang was pretty familiar with Shen Jianguo.

The familiarity was also due to Chairman Shen.

“I’m quite familiar with him, actually, I get along pretty well with that guy, hahaha…” Zhou Hong chuckled with malice, “But when it comes to matters of the wife, no matter how familiar, it’s useless.”
