Zhao Ni took the two of them by car to her hometown, and they arrived at the town a couple of hours later.

Although it's called a town, it's not far from Beijing. It used to be quite poor, but now many places in the town have been rebuilt with multi-story buildings, while others have been rebuilt with single-story houses. There are also several factories near their home, and the local people are living much better lives than before.

Zhao Ni used to have short hair, but now she has grown it longer.

She used to have short hair, but her sister-in-law, Grandma Jiang, and Grandma Lu said she would look better with long hair.

So she grew her hair long.

"Sister Nini, there's a shop over there."

Feng Hong said with a smile.

Feng Hong was also Zhao Ni's comrade-in-arms, two or three years younger than Zhao Ni, and the two had a good relationship. The other one, Ji Shuang, was a male comrade who had also retired from the army.

Zhao Ni took them to a store and bought some fruit and candy.

Zhao Ni wanted to pay respects to her grandmother. In the past, her grandmother was reluctant to eat or wear anything nice. Every time Zhao Ni had a holiday, she would bring some food for her grandmother, but her grandmother would always save it. When Zhao Ni returned to her unit, her grandmother would stuff the food into her bag.

Later she got smarter. When she got home, she would buy some food, cut it up, or just take it out, and eat it with her grandma.

But each time, Grandma would only eat a little bit and would give her the rest of the food.

Zhao Ni's eyes welled up with tears as she thought of her grandmother.

Her grandmother was so kind, why do good people not live long?

If only Grandma could be alive now.

When she retired from the army, her plan was to take her grandmother to live in another place so that her grandmother could live longer.

"Hey, where did this beautiful lady come from? Shall we get acquainted?"

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Zhao Ni looked up and saw a familiar-looking person leading several young people toward Feng Hong.

Feng Hong frowned when she saw the man's greasy appearance.

"Comrade, please have some self-respect."

This man looked like a scoundrel, and the way he looked at her made her very unhappy.

Upon hearing Feng Hong's words, Zhao Dabao deliberately moved closer.

"Which village are you from? I like you. If you marry me, I'll definitely find you a job, make you a permanent worker, and give you a dowry of one hundred yuan..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hong looked at Zhao Dabao with disdain.

"roll."

How can this guy be so shameless? His hair is so oily it's practically greasy, he's chubby, and his eyes are practically slits, yet he dares to act crazy in front of her.

After being rejected, Zhao Dabao's eyes lit up even more.

“You have a temper, I like that. Tell me quickly which village you’re from, and I’ll come to your house to propose marriage.”

As Zhao Dabao spoke, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch Feng Hong's face.

Feng Hong kicked him, and Zhao Dabao's smile immediately changed.

He was kicked to the ground by Feng Hong and howled.

"ah..."

Zhao Ni recognized Zhao Dabao by now. She never expected that her cousin would turn out like this.

"You bitch...you actually dared to hit me, I'll take care of you today!" Zhao Dabao endured the pain, got up and attacked Feng Hong.

He had barely made a move when he was kicked away again.

He let out another howl and looked at the person who had made the move; he felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.

"Are you Zhao Ni?"

Zhao Dabao fell to the ground, about to burst into a tirade of curses.

"You fucking dare to hit me?" Zhao Dabao was furious when he saw Zhao Ni.

From a young age, his parents told him that Zhao Ni was a financial burden on their family and that he had to give in to her in everything.
