After Shen Changan finished speaking, he continued to move forward. Jiang Yi stared at his back blankly. At this moment, he felt that he was so tall.

"Teacher Shen, you have never been to Jiangjia Village and you are not familiar with the roads here. Let me lead the way."

Jiang Yi adjusted his state. He suddenly plucked up the courage to run forward and took the initiative to walk in front of Shen Changan.

Shen Changan looked at the thin and frail figure in front of him who suddenly stood up straight, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

She is worthy of being the child he values. Although she is sometimes easily tricked by him, she is still very smart and knows how to be flexible in doing things.

The mountain road was rugged, and Jiang Yi was afraid that Teacher Shen was not used to it, so he didn't dare to walk too fast. Shen Changan looked at the sky getting darker and darker and asked doubtfully: "Does it usually take you this long to walk home?"

"No, I just didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear that Teacher Shen wouldn't be able to keep up."

Jiang Yi lowered his voice, fearing that Teacher Shen would be angry if he said this.

Shen Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's not necessary. Did I forget to tell you that I was a soldier in the army for two years?"

Although Shen Changan has not been in the army for a long time, he has achieved outstanding results in all aspects, whether it is running, shooting or actual combat.

If he had continued to stay in the army, with his knowledge and status, he would have had a good chance of becoming an officer.

However, Shen Changan did not like the life of being bound by others in the military camp. He always felt that it was too boring for a person to do only one thing in his life.

He was young at that time and his ideas were more unconventional.

When he left the army, his family strongly opposed it. However, Shen Changan has been independent-minded since he was a child, and even his father's official authority could not suppress him.

His mother's tears softened his heart, but when he thought of this kind of restraint, Shen Changan gritted his teeth and withdrew from the army.

He knew that even after leaving the military, he would have to return to the system. He didn't want to be bound so early, so he used his family connections to experience life everywhere.

I used to live a carefree life, but I had never expected something like this to happen.

He was a tall and strong man, but he was actually...

After this incident happened, Shen Changan was too embarrassed to speak about it and did not tell anyone except his parents.

Even his best friend and childhood friend didn't know.

In their eyes, he is an iron tree that will never bloom.

No one knew that this iron tree had been plucked out.

"So Mr. Shen was once a soldier. I was wondering why he looked so handsome. He really is something special."

Jiang Yi looked at Teacher Shen with bright eyes, and felt that his image in his mind had become taller again.

Being stared at by such a little guy, Shen Changan felt a little uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go!"

"Hey, I'm leaving now!"

Jiang Yi showed his true strength, running and walking along the way, and his speed really became extremely fast.

Zhang Guocai saw that it was getting dark outside and was about to pack up and go back. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Yi coming back with a tall and handsome man.

"Who is this?"

Zhang Guocai squinted his eyes in the night and looked at Shen Changan carefully.

This person is clearly the first time we meet, so why does it feel like déjà vu?

Where have I seen this before? Why can't I remember it?

Shen Changan had always heard that Jiang Yi's family only had his sister and two newborn babies. Now that he saw a man at the door, he felt a little confused.

"Teacher Shen, this is my uncle. Uncle, this is my teacher. I'm here for a home visit today."

Jiang Yi introduced them to each other enthusiastically, and only then did they suppress their doubts and look enlightened.

“Hello uncle, I’m Shen Changan.”

Shen Changan is actually not much younger than Zhang Guocai. He calls Zhang Guocai according to the name given by his students' parents.

Zhang Guocai waved his hand at him. "Although Mr. Shen is good-looking, he's not much younger than me, right? Calling me uncle makes me sound old. It's inappropriate, inappropriate."

"What should I call you then?"

Shen Changan came in a hurry this time and did not prepare any gifts, but he was visiting students' homes as a teacher, so logically he did not need to prepare any gifts.

"Just call me Zhang Guocai. Some people outside also call me Brother Cai. Call me whatever you think is convenient."

Shen Changan felt that it was a bit rude to call Zhang Guocai directly, so after thinking about it, he still called out: “Brother Cai.”

"Hello, Teacher Shen, welcome."

Zhang Guocai quickly invited the person in. This Teacher Shen looked too young. In addition, he was tall and handsome, and was actually younger than him.

Zhang Guocai sighed silently in his heart, time is unforgiving, he is getting old, really old!

The two of them exchanged polite words for a while, and then Shen Changan followed Jiang Yi to the main hall.

When Jiang Li heard the noise outside, she knew it was her brother who had returned. She shouted in the kitchen, "Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, are you back? Can you come over here for a moment?"

"Sister, is there something wrong?"

Before Jiang Yi had time to put down his schoolbag, he hurried to the kitchen. Shen Changan was curious and followed him to the kitchen door.

Jiang Li handed a small basket to Jiang Yi and began to explain in detail: "Some time ago, the villagers helped us a lot. We are poor and have nothing to give in return. I specially made yam glutinous rice cakes with the yam that my uncle dug in the mountains. You can deliver the things to them according to the address above later."

"This yam glutinous rice cake was just made and is still warm. It tastes best when eaten now."

"Sister, I can deliver the things, but Teacher Shen is coming today. Do you think it can be delivered later?"

As soon as Jiang Li looked up, he saw Shen Changan standing at the door of the kitchen. The dim light made his tall figure look slender.

His handsome, angular face was half hidden in the darkness, and the other half was particularly clear.

Jiang Li was in a trance for a moment. This man was really a man of action. She had just said yesterday that she could visit her home, and he came all the way here today.

"Sure, hello, Teacher Shen."

After Jiang Li reacted, she quickly restrained all her emotions and greeted Shen Changan calmly.

"Hello, Sister Jiang Yi. I'm here today mainly to talk to you about Jiang Yi's trip to the provincial capital to participate in the math competition."

"I know. It's getting late. Teacher Shen hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll make dinner for you right now. We can talk after dinner if we have anything to say."

"Sister, let me help you light the fire."

Jiang Yi has become accustomed to taking the initiative to help his sister when she is doing things.

"No need, go and keep Teacher Shen company."

Shen Changan is a guest when he comes to the house. Jiang Li cannot let him sit alone in the main room. This is disrespectful to the guest.

Shen Changan took a look at Jiang Li's dilapidated house and the crumbling window frames, and further understood their family's poverty.

He had been a soldier and ate a lot, so he was afraid that he would eat the other family into poverty.

"This time I'm mainly here for a home visit, so I don't need to eat."
