When the words came to her lips, Shen Yueyue was a little unable to say them.

But she didn't want to go back to the backward countryside and marry a mediocre peasant.

Thinking of this, Shen Yueyue said sincerely: "Zhi Ning, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words a few days ago. I hope you can forgive me. I have been reflecting on this these days. You have been very good to me. If I get angry with you again, it would be too heartless."

Listening to her words, Jiang Zhining looked at her quietly: "Do you really think you are wrong?"

Shen Yueyue nodded: "Brother has been talking to me these days, and he is right. It is your help that enables us to come to the city to work hard. Although we are your brothers and sisters, we cannot take your care of us for granted."

Looking at her expression and seeing her sincerity, Jiang Zhining smiled faintly: "If you really think so, it couldn't be better. I know you just want to marry a good man, I believe as long as you work hard, you can achieve it."

"Really?" Shen Yueyue's eyes sparkled.

"If you want to marry well, you must have something outstanding yourself. You should work hard and strive to improve yourself. That way others won't look down on you, and you can choose a good man. But you still have to pursue practicality, a wealthy man like the Shen family..."

Shen Yueyue interrupted with a smile: "I just said that that day, and I didn't really take it to heart. After all, that's a family, and Brother Shen is also a dragon and phoenix among men. I'm not worthy of him."

Jiang Zhining hummed: "There is indeed a little difference. You should work hard and save some money, and then we can look at each other carefully and choose a good husband together in the future."

Shen Yueyue nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then I'll go to work."

As she spoke, Shen Yueyue walked into the store with a smile.

Jiang Zhining stood there. She knew that although the conflict between her and Shen Yueyue seemed to be resolved, broken glass would still have cracks even if repaired with glue.

Perhaps even Shen Yueyue didn't notice that the way she addressed Jiang Zhining had changed from "sister" to "Zhi Ning".

But she doesn't care about these, as long as the other party doesn't cause her any trouble.

The next night, the store closed early. Jiang Zhining prepared a special table, not only to reward the store employees, but also to ask Song Yuzhou to call all the soldiers who came to help that night.

She doesn't want to owe favors to anyone, and she will remember those who are kind to her.

Outside the shop, by the bridge, Jiang Zhining raised her wine glass and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. I'd like to offer a toast to you all."

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses and said, "Cheers."

Jiang Zhining swallowed the wine, and a refreshing feeling rushed to her brain: "Drinking beer in the summer is really nice. When it gets hot in June, I'll get some ice cubes."

"Cold beer?"

"Yes, drinking cold beer and eating barbecue are the greatest enjoyment in summer. If we can have some crayfish, it will be even better." Jiang Zhining said with longing.

"Crayfish?" Everyone was surprised.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhining explained simply: "It's a kind of shrimp with a big head and a small body. It tastes delicious, whether it's spicy or steamed with garlic."

Listening to her explanation, Zhao Ziliang was full of admiration: "Sister-in-law, you really know a lot."

"That's right." Jiang Zhining raised her head proudly, her brows full of smiles, "Everyone, hurry up and eat. Barbecue is best eaten while it's hot. Garlic roasted eggplant, this is my favorite."

Jiang Zhining said, hurriedly picking up the dishes: "Don't be polite, we are all family."

Hearing this, everyone stopped being reserved and started chatting and eating.

Jiang Zhining likes to eat barbecue, so Song Yuzhou is responsible for grilling it for her and putting it in her bowl.

When she drinks, he is worried that she might choke, so he will considerately pat her on the back.

Shen Yueyue looked at Song Yuzhou's attentiveness, her eyes full of envy: she also wanted a husband like this.

While Song Yuzhou went to the kitchen to help Jiang Zhining roast corn, Shen Yueyue followed him quietly.

Song Yuzhou was very alert and noticed her as soon as she got behind him.

"Is there something wrong?" Song Yuzhou asked in a low voice.

Shen Yueyue smiled and said, "Zhi Ning wanted to eat eggplant. I just learned how to make it these days, so I thought of roasting some for her."

Hearing this, Song Yuzhou nodded lightly and said nothing more.

Looking at the man beside her, Shen Yueyue clearly felt that his attitude towards her seemed much colder than before.

She knew it was because of Jiang Zhining.

"Captain Song, how's the introduction going?" Shen Yueyue asked proactively.

Thinking of this, Song Yuzhou responded: "I found one. He is a squad leader under me. He looks okay, is honest, and is kind. He is 24 years old. What do you think?"

Shen Yueyue's eyes flashed with disappointment: "Is it the squad leader?"

"Yeah. In our group, there are quite a few who are already married. Or there are those who are not married yet but already have a partner, like that kid Ziliang."

Although he didn't like her making Jiang Zhining angry, Song Yuzhou would still try his best to arrange a partner for her.

Shen Yueyue asked awkwardly: "Are there any other candidates?"

She looked down upon a mere squad leader.

"There is one more, a lieutenant. He is in good condition, but he is already 28 years old." Song Yuzhou added.

Hearing that it was the lieutenant, Shen Yueyue's eyes flashed with joy: "It's okay, the older you get, the more you care for others, just like Captain Song, who also loves Zhi Ning."

Although he was not as majestic as the regiment commander, he was at least an officer, so Shen Yueyue could barely look him in the eye.

Hearing this, Song Yuzhou hummed: "Then I'll tell him that when he's not busy these days, I'll ask him to meet you and have a chat."

"Okay, thank you, Captain Song." Shen Yueyue responded happily.
