Since he was already there, Huo Haocheng told him to wait, and then went to get food for himself and Ruan Ruan. On the way, he told him why he was looking for him and learned that he had an uncle who had been living a lonely and helpless life, but was in good health and had good skills. If he was just looking for a martial arts instructor, then he could do it.

"Hello, Comrade Meng Kai. Have you eaten yet? Why don't we sit down and chat while we eat?" Ruan Ruan also felt quite embarrassed. She was incredibly thankful that her stomach had cooperated. If she had been any lazier, she would have been too ashamed to face anyone!

"No need, sister-in-law, you guys eat. I already ate at the canteen." If he had known that Commander Huo would be looking for him, he would have followed him home in a daze and then met the legendary sister-in-law in a daze. Seriously, he would never have run to the canteen so early to fight with the other platoon leaders for braised pork!

It's all the third platoon leader's fault; he missed a chance to have dinner with his sister-in-law.

"Come sit down. What's the matter? Sit down and we'll talk." Huo Haocheng set out the food, poured him a glass of water, and then ignored him, starting to put food into his wife's bowl.

Meng Kai, holding the cup, was utterly shocked by Huo Haocheng's actions. He had always known that Commander Huo doted on his wife, but no one had ever told him that it hurt so much that his wife could sleep all the time. After training, he would even bring her food before coming home. What kind of wife was like this?

Of course, he could only complain about these things in his heart, and he would never dare to say them in front of them. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be sparred with every day for the next few days. They knew about what happened to Commander Zhu last year. To put it nicely, it was a sparring match, but to put it bluntly, it was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Although he has martial arts skills, he can't withstand so many people taking turns attacking him!

"Um, Comrade Meng Kai, may I ask about your uncle's age and health?" Ruan Ruan couldn't stand the way he was looking at them anymore, so she had to speak up and find an excuse to chat.

"...Oh, sister-in-law, my uncle's name is Meng Jin. He's 45 years old now and in good health, so don't worry about that. He lives alone now. Ever since my aunt died in childbirth, he was deeply affected and has been living alone ever since. No matter what my grandparents said, he wouldn't agree. In the end, he got fed up with them and moved out to live on his own."

Actually, he has two older brothers who are both quite skilled. However, he also has his own selfish motives. Since childhood, his uncle has been very kind to him and often secretly buys him candy. He also thinks that if his uncle could leave that place and live in another place, he might be able to get out of that situation.

Hearing Meng Kai's words, Ruan Ruan didn't know whether to say that this uncle was loyal and righteous, or that he was alone, trapping himself in the same place and making his family suffer with him.

Huo Haocheng, whose thoughts were exactly the opposite of theirs, thought to himself when he heard about the double death when he heard about it: "Thank goodness we're not in a hurry to have children. I hope my wife won't want to have children in the future."

"Comrade Meng Kai, if your uncle is really as skilled and physically fit as you say, and doesn't beat or scold the children arbitrarily, then please talk to him and ask him to come over and be the children's martial arts instructor after the school is built in the second half of this year."

Ruan Ruan had no particular feelings about this person; as long as he was a decent person and could meet her requirements, that was enough. Everything else was outside her consideration.

“Okay, I’ll write home when I get back. I’ll have to trouble you then, sister-in-law. I’m very grateful to you for providing my uncle with this job opportunity.”

Their family is full of talented people, but nowadays, jobs in the city are limited to one person per position. Even if factories are hiring, they usually fill all the positions internally, so they can't recruit from outside.

"Don't be polite with me, opportunities are always for those who are prepared."

Having said what needed to be said, Meng Kai saw that they were still eating and, not wanting to stare at them any longer, said goodbye and got up to leave.

After he walked away, Ruan Ruan finally relaxed. "Oh, I really felt terrible. Are all your soldiers like this? So interested in our private lives?"

They hadn't expected such a gossipy man. If Ruan Ruan hadn't interrupted his gaze, Huo Haocheng would have slapped him.

"Mistake, mistake, I didn't expect this kid to like gossip so much."

Now they can imagine that after Huo Haocheng goes to the military headquarters, what he did should have already been spread around. Sigh.
