Chapter 199: Having dinner with the original male protagonist
Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, we are narrow-minded!"
"Comrades, please have some tea first. I'll get you some freshly made dried sweet potatoes."
With that, she walked out the door.
Jiang Shaohuan looked at her back and smiled helplessly at Ruan Yuntang.
"I'm sorry, but they don't understand the reasoning, so they might think building a house is too simple."
Ruan Yuntang shook his head, "These villagers are also anxious."
After all, anyone who destroys his home and is reduced to having to rely on the sky for a blanket will collapse.
Jiang Shaohuan looked at the open-minded expression on her face, his eyes deepened, and he asked casually: "Comrade Ruan's husband must be in trouble recently."
Ruan Yuntang didn't understand why he asked this, so he didn't say anything.
Jiang Shaohuan smiled again and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want Comrade Ruan to tell him that if he has any difficulties, he can come to me at any time."
"Of course, Comrade Ruan can come to me if you have any difficulties. I will do my best to help."
"After all, we all have the same starting point, to serve the people."
These words were spoken sincerely and realistically.
Ruan Yuntang looked at his gentle face and couldn't help but have a better impression of him.
"good."
Jiang Shaohuan's expression softened a little, and he poured her some more tea. Then the old lady brought over a plate of dried sweet potatoes and invited Ruan Yuntang to stay for dinner.
Ruan Yuntang was about to refuse, but Jiang Shaohuan added:
"Auntie cooks delicious food. It's time for dinner now. Why don't you join us? Aren't you curious about what kind of entertainment they have after dinner? They should be back soon, so it's a good time to show you."
Ruan Yuntang's eyes moved slightly, the words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he nodded, "Then I'll bother you."
"Why are you disturbing me? It's just a meal." The old lady pushed the dried sweet potatoes in front of her, turned around and walked out.
Jiang Shaohuan sat with her in the main room, chatting with her from time to time, and the topic never stopped.
He is knowledgeable and can talk about everything, even studying spices and ancient incense burning methods.
Ruan Yuntang couldn't help but chat with him until the old lady came to call him for dinner.
Jiang Shaohuan stopped the topic in time and stood up to signal, "I haven't realized I've talked too much. Comrade Ruan, please."
He behaved in a polite and courteous manner, and walked with measured steps. He looked like a literary worker and did not look like someone from the military camp.
Ruan Yuntang followed him out and asked curiously as they walked, "Why did you join the army?"
After that, she explained: "It's not that you shouldn't join the army, it's just that you look more like a teacher or something..."
Jiang Shaohuan smiled and said, "A lot of people say that. Actually, I did want to stay on campus."
Ruan Yuntang looked at the somewhat forced smile on his face and didn't ask any further questions out of a sense of limit.
Jiang Shaohuan was intrigued by her sudden interruption and turned to look at her, "Aren't you curious about why I gave up literature to join the military?"
Ruan Yuntang smiled. "There must be a special reason for giving up your hobbies and dreams. For example, there must be something more important than your hobbies, or protecting the safety of the area..."
"I can probably imagine it, so I'm not that curious anymore."
Jiang Shaohuan's eyes deepened and he suddenly laughed.
He didn't expect that the girl thought he was great.
Unfortunately, he is not.
The two of them came to the yard to eat together. The soldiers in their regiment had not returned yet, so there were only the aunt's family of six, as well as her and Jiang Shaohuan, at the table.
Because there were many people and two children chattering, it was not as awkward as she had imagined, so Ruan Yuntang did not make an excuse to leave.
The dishes on the table were very rich. Although they were served separately from the big pot, meat dishes took up more than half of the dishes and were all delicious.
She had never made such a perfect and sumptuous dish during the past two days at the village chief's house due to limited ingredients and seasonings.
The old lady smiled and gave her a chicken leg.
"Comrade Ruan, hurry up and eat! This is all shipped to us by Commander Jiang. In the past, we might not even have enough to eat all year round. But thanks to Commander Jiang, we've been able to enjoy a good life lately!"
Ruan Yuntang was slightly stunned. He could tell from her words that the Captain Jiang he was talking about was definitely not Jiang Yubai.
She looked up at the old lady, but found that she was looking at Comrade Li.
She turned to look at Jiang Shaohuan and opened her mouth, "Comrade Li, is your commander's surname Jiang?"
Hearing this, the old lady looked at Ruan Yuntang with a puzzled look on her face. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Jiang Shaohuan's eyes.
Jiang Shaohuan looked at Ruan Yuntang's strange expression, his expression unchanged, and smiled: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ruan Yuntang's heart sank, and he continued to ask, "What's your full name?"
Jiang Shaohuan looked at her strange expression, a look of deep thought flashed through his eyes as he spoke word by word, "My full name is Jiang Shaohuan."
Ruan Yuntang's face turned pale and he felt a little panicked.
The panic was not caused by anything else, but by her gradually fading memory.
She knew that this would be the first time the hero and heroine met, but she had no memory of how they met, their identities, etc.
I don’t know if it was because she caused the butterfly effect that changed a lot of things.
Seeing her pale face and dazed expression, Jiang Shaohuan frowned slightly and called softly, "Comrade Ruan?"
Ruan Yuntang came back to her senses and met his worried eyes. She smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay, I just thought of something else."
As she spoke, she finished her meal in a few bites and prepared to leave.
At this time, five or six young men came in through the gate.
These were the faces she had secretly memorized during the day.
Jiang Shaohuan saw that she wanted to leave, so he waved to a few people.
"Would you like to go practice after dinner today?"
Several people came over and saluted him first, then sat down and replied, "Go, it's a good time to stretch your muscles today!"
After saying that, they looked at Ruan Yuntang with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Jiang Shaohuan immediately introduced them to each other.
Ruan Yuntang greeted a few people with a smile.
These people responded politely and then started eating.
Ruan Yuntang noticed that these people made no noise when eating, chewed slowly, used serving chopsticks to pick up food, and mostly ate light dishes.
It's obvious that he was born in a well-off family and has plenty of food to eat every day.
Ruan Yuntang then thought of the group of good brothers in the compound around the male protagonist, and was not surprised.
Then she casually asked a few questions about where they had exercised yesterday.
Several people answered one by one, and most of them were in the back mountain and nearby.
Yesterday, only one person went to the old village chief's house.
Ruan Yuntang fixed his gaze on the wheat-skinned young comrade named Li Lu who was sitting in the middle.
After taking a look, she smiled and served each person a bowl of soup, handing it over enthusiastically.
Those young comrades were all shy and hadn't seen a girl with rosy lips and white teeth in the mountains for a long time. They reached out to take it with red faces, and their hands were shaking.
Ruan Yuntang put them down one by one before he withdrew his hand, but when he handed it to Li Lu, he let go of it too early.
