Jiang Tiecheng smiled and waved to Chen Ruixue.

"Comrade Chen Ruixue, alright, you can go back now. Your fourth brother is here. I'm sure he won't let me go hungry."

"I haven't eaten yet."

Chen Ruixue was unwilling to accept this; it seemed that Jiang Tiecheng was very unwilling to spend time with her.

“Go back to your textile factory canteen for meals, what are you doing here?”

Alright, alright, you don't have any meal tickets here, hurry back and eat!

"Brother, aren't you being too stingy?"

I don't have meal tickets, but you do. Can't you even treat your sister to a meal?

"no!"

"Okay, you wait, I'll go back and write a letter to Dad."

"Go ahead and sue me. I'm just not going to give you a meal ticket. What can you do about it?"

"Does Dad have any say in whether or not I need to give you meal tickets?"

Chen Ruixue was so angry that her stomach ached, so she had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Seeing his sister leave, Chen Ruijun's lips curled into a smug smile. "Little brat."

I thought I couldn't handle her either.

He turned around, took out meal tickets and food coupons from his pocket, and stuffed them directly into Jiang Tiecheng's hand.

"Alright, here's a 20-yuan meal ticket and 20 jin of grain coupons. Go eat at the canteen!"

Walk straight ahead for 500 meters and you'll reach the cafeteria.

After finishing my meal, I went back to my dorm to sleep.

I won't take you with me.

I've repaid your life-saving kindness. If you don't have enough meal tickets, I'll give you more tomorrow.

He said he would repay the life-saving grace, but he didn't say he had to do it himself.

Since his sister is gone, of course he won't care.

Jiang Tiecheng isn't a three-year-old child; does he need to be fed?

Jiang Tiecheng locked his bicycle downstairs and turned to head to the cafeteria.

He squeezed the meal ticket in his hand.

Recalling what Chen Ruixue had just said, and thinking about Chen Ruijun's attitude towards him, he felt a surge of anger.

Chen Ruijun reminded him of his wife's brothers in his previous life, who also had the same attitude.

She acted superior, as if she were their family's maid.

This is Chen Ruijun's current attitude.

Jiang Tiecheng turned around and walked into the canteen, intending to have a hearty meal, but he didn't expect to find that the canteen was already out of food.

All the staff are cleaning up.

"Comrade, you're late. Please come earlier tomorrow. Don't you know our canteen is open until 8 p.m.? Look, it's already 8:05."

A bald, overweight chef saw Jiang Tiecheng walk in and immediately stopped him.

"Comrade, I don't know what time it is, do you have any leftovers? I'll make do with that."

The chubby chef waved his hand impatiently.

"No, no, comrade, what era are we living in? How could there be leftovers?"

The little bit of food left over isn't even enough for our canteen staff.

It's quite frustrating; these days there's often no leftover food, so you can imagine what kind of situation that is.

Jiang Tiecheng rubbed his rumbling stomach, feeling helpless.

It doesn't look like it will work. I'll go out and see if I can find it outside.

However, there was no food in the cafeteria, and it was even harder to find a place to eat outside.

Jiang Tiecheng had just turned around when he bumped into someone.

The lunchbox in the man's arms fell to the ground with a loud crash.

The bald cook rushed over, picking up the lunchboxes from the ground while counting Luo Jiang Tiecheng.

"Why are you so reckless, comrade? Look, you've even bumped into our Captain Xiao."

"Captain Xiao, are you working overtime again today? It's so late."

You haven't eaten yet, have you? Please wait here, I'll go and cook something special for you right away.

What would you like to eat today?

The eager look on his face left Jiang Tiecheng, who hadn't even gotten any leftovers, speechless.

How could he believe the cook?

Captain Xiao stared intently at Jiang Tiecheng, then exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Are you Jiang Tiecheng?"

"Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, what are you doing here?"

Not only was her voice filled with surprise, but she also took two steps forward and tightly grasped Jiang Tiecheng's hands.

Jiang Tiecheng carefully examined the person in front of him, and he was quite certain that he did not recognize him.

He said somewhat awkwardly.

"Comrade, you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't think I know you."

"How could I possibly mistake you for someone else? Your name is Jiang Tiecheng, isn't it?"

"Yes, my name is Jiang Tiecheng!"

"But I'm pretty sure we've never met."

"You're from the Red Flag Brigade, right?"

"That's right, I'm from the Red Flag Brigade."

"That's right, you don't know me, but I know you."

I am the captain of the armed forces department in our county. My surname is Xiao and my name is Xiao Fei.

I have seen your file.

My old captain specifically praised you to me, saying you saved an entire trainload of people.

"I originally wanted to make a trip to the Red Flag Brigade, but I was delayed by some things."

I never expected to see you here; I recognized you immediately.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk."

Xiao Fei pulled Jiang Tiecheng directly to the cafeteria and found an empty table to sit down.

The bald man next to him looked a little horrified holding the lunchbox. He had just told the man he had no food, but he never expected that this man was related to Captain Xiao.

What if this person tries to sow discord between Captain Xiao and me? Will I still be able to keep my job as the head chef in the cafeteria?

I was terrified.

Xiao Fei looked at the bald chef standing there motionless and said,

"What are you doing? Lao Liu, hurry up and cook! Right, right. Jiang Tiecheng, you haven't eaten either, have you?"

Jiang Tiecheng gave the bald chef a meaningful look, and the bald chef's legs went weak and he almost fell over.

"Captain Xiao, I arrived at an inopportune time; the canteen is already closed."

I was just thinking of going out to find something to eat, otherwise I wouldn't have kept you any longer.

No, no, no!

What are you going out to find to eat?

The cafeteria is closed, but we have a special kitchen. Lao Liu, hurry up and make two portions of food for me, pick out the good stuff, it's my treat today.

Old Liu hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and agreed.

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Xiao Fei pulled Jiang Tiecheng along,

"Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, I've heard about your deeds long ago. I know you work in the Hongqi Brigade, and I originally thought it would be a waste for someone as talented as you to stay in the Hongqi Brigade and farm."

We'd like to transfer you to our armed forces department.

I never expected to run into you today.

"In that case, I'll frankly invite you to join our county's armed forces department."

Jiang Tiecheng hurriedly said,

"Captain Xiao, thank you for your kindness, but I have been transferred to the security department of our machinery factory."

Xiao Fei felt a little regretful, but being transferred to the security department of the machinery factory was still in the county, so he could help out if anything happened. Besides, the security department was part of the system.

"That's not bad either. It's better for you to be in the security department of the machinery factory than to be farming in the Red Flag Brigade."

If you encounter any problems or troubles in the future, you can come to me.

I, Xiao Fei, admire heroes like you who are courageous, righteous, and loyal.
