After chatting with the old camphor tree, Ruan Qiqi walked back to Ruanjia Bay. It was already very late at night. She chatted with the old peach tree for another half an hour by the pond. She learned a lot of secrets of Ruanjia Bay and then went back to sleep contentedly.
I slept until dawn, but the sun didn't shine on my butt because it was drizzling.
Ruan Qiqi frowned. The roads leading to the commune were all muddy roads, and after the rain, they were all covered in mud. She hated walking on muddy roads the most.
"We've already severed our relationship, don't try to make friends with us!"
Ruan Xiaoxue's cold and stern voice and Old Man Ruan's hoarse voice came from outside. This old man actually dared to come to the door.
"Get lost! If we acknowledge you, how can we be worthy of my father?"
Ruan Shuangjiang's face was icy, a stark contrast to her usual gentle appearance. She was the eldest daughter and had a deep relationship with Ruan's father. She would never forgive the old man who killed her father.
"Go underground and ask my father for forgiveness. Don't come to us!" Ruan Xiaoxue added, her eyes full of hatred.
Old man Ruan was like an eggplant hit by frost. His whole body was lifeless and he looked ten years older. He walked away with his head drooped and his back hunched, looking very old.
His back looks pitiful, but Ruan Shuangjiang and Ruan Xiaoxue are as hard-hearted as iron. Their father was even more pitiful back then. This plague old man does not deserve any sympathy at all.
Ruan Qiqi listened in the room for a while and was very satisfied.
"There's not much glutinous rice cake left. I'll go to the commune to get some glutinous rice. Xiaoxue, go get some strong laborers to make glutinous rice cake."
Ruan Qiqi washed up, went to get breakfast, and took the opportunity to instruct on how to make glutinous rice cakes.
Ruan Xiaoxue agreed with a smile.
There was rice tofu again in the morning. There was some left over from yesterday’s meal. Ruan Qiqi ate three more bowls and went out carrying the basket on her back.
She was very lucky today. She met Song Hongli again on the way and drove towards her.
"Sister Qiqi, get in the car!"
Even from a distance, Song Hongli greeted him warmly.
“Here it comes!”
Ruan Qiqi jumped up nimbly, took out two sugar-coated cakes wrapped in tung leaves from the backpack and handed them to her. Ruan Shuangjiang steamed them and asked her to take them with her on the road.
Song Hongli didn't bother to be polite with her. He took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls. He went to the commune to collect distiller's grains, and he did so every few days.
The two chatted enthusiastically along the way. When they learned that Ruan Qiqi wanted to make glutinous rice cakes, Song Hongli volunteered and said that he would help together with his cousin Song Junjie.
After arriving at the commune, the two went their separate ways. Ruan Qiqi went to make a phone call and this time waited for more than ten minutes.
"Qiqi, when can I come to your place to get acquainted? I miss you so much!"
Lu Ye's tone on the phone was very aggrieved. Before he knew Ruan Qiqi, he had just lived alone like this, but since he met Qiqi, he was not used to being alone, and he dreamed of her every night.
The veterans diagnosed that he was suffering from lovesickness, and a particularly severe one.
"You can come today. I found a spy and his accomplices. You come and catch them. Don't let others take the credit!"
Ruan Qiqi covered the microphone with her hand and lowered her voice.
"I'll be right over here, wait for me!"
Lu Ye was very happy and asked, "Qiqi, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you!"
"Will your father reimburse you?"
"Report!"
"Then bring some lotus leaf rice, chicken bundles, and sugar-coated rice cakes."
Ruan Qiqi ordered the dishes without hesitation as she had almost finished the food in her space.
"Okay, wait for me!"
After Lu Ye hung up the phone, he called his direct supervisor again: "Director Mu, I received reliable intelligence and we are going to catch the spy."
He originally planned to ask for leave, but since there were spies, he didn't waste his vacation. He used it to play with Qiqi while he went on a business trip.
Soon, Lu Desheng received a call asking Lu Ye to carry out a mission.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
Lu Desheng hung up the phone and asked the orderly to convey the mission instructions to Lu Ye.
An hour later, Lu Ye drove out of the military area, did some shopping in the city, and then drove to Ruan Qiqi's hometown.
After Ruan Qiqi finished the call, he found a secluded corner and took out a mountain of supplies, including glutinous rice, rice, flour, meat, oil, etc. There was a small black market in the town where you could buy anything as long as you had money.
She was not worried about being suspected, so after He Jianjun paid her 900 yuan in compensation, she said she bought it on the black market.
There were too many things for Ruan Qiqi to move them all by herself, so she called a cart driver and gave him twenty cents. The driver was very attentive and took her to the intersection.
Song Hongli came over with the wine lees. He was a little surprised to see so many things, but he didn't ask anything and helped carry the things onto the car.
After arriving at Ruanjiawan, Song Hongli enthusiastically sent her to the village entrance and even helped carry her to her doorstep.
"Brother Song, thank you!"
Ruan Qiqi cut a pound of meat and handed it over.
Song Hongli picked up the meat and was happy. This girl from the Ruan family was really nice.
"Sister, my boyfriend is coming over today, he likes chicken soup!"
Ruan Qiqi took out a killed chicken from the backpack.
"Why is the chicken you bought already slaughtered?" Ruan Shuangjiang looked at it in surprise. It was slaughtered very cleanly, even the feathers were plucked.
“I paid for it.”
Ruan Qiqi passed it over vaguely, and Ruan Shuangjiang didn't think much about it and took the chicken to make chicken soup.
"Sister, I picked a lot of ground vegetables, enough for two meals!"
Ruan Xiaoxue was shouting in the yard. After the rain stopped in the morning, she and her friends went to the mountain to look for mushrooms. They didn't find many mushrooms, but they found a lot of soil. She picked half a basket.
Ground lettuce, which grows on the ground after rain
Ruan Qiqi's eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten ground vegetables for a long time. This thing has extremely high environmental requirements. Due to serious environmental pollution in later generations, ground vegetables have become less and less and have become a rare thing.
Ruan Xiaoxue changed her wet clothes and went to the river to wash the ground vegetables. This thing is delicious, but it is very troublesome to wash and has to be washed dozens of times.
After lunch, Ruan Qiqi took a nap. When she woke up, it was two o'clock. The rich aroma of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen. Ruan Shuangjiang and Ruan Xiaoxue were not at home. They had gone to work in the fields.
The sisters Ruan Nian and Ruan Pan went out to play with their friends, leaving her alone at home.
Ruan Qiqi stretched, got out of bed, tied her hair, washed her face with cold water, and went out to meet her man.
Judging from the time, Lu Ye should be here soon.
Lu Ye was still ten miles away from Ruanjia Bay. He had been here before to carry out missions, and he had special skills, so there was no place he could not find.
The car drove into Ruanjia Bay. People working in the fields straightened their backs and stared at the jeep with wide eyes.
Wow, it’s the army’s car!
Lu Ye had already driven past the farmland, but he drove back, parked the car, and jumped out of the car. His handsome and heroic figure, as well as his military uniform, dazzled the villagers, and they looked at him with great respect.
How high an official must one be to be able to afford a car!
"Excuse me, is this where Ruan Qiqi lives?"
Lu Ye took out a pack of plum blossoms from his pocket and gave one to the nearest villager.
He was lucky, because this person was the captain.
The captain stretched out his hands, took it respectfully, and was reluctant to smoke it, so he clamped it between his ears.
"Leader, Ruan Qiqi is my niece. What do you want to see her for?"
The captain asked respectfully, before he realized that Lu Ye was Ruan Qiqi's boyfriend.
"Ruan Qiqi is my fiancée. I came here to marry her. Are you really her uncle?"
Lu Ye's eyes became sharp and he looked the captain up and down, making his legs tremble.
“Really…really.”
The captain's voice trembled. Wow, he is worthy of being the deputy battalion commander. He has great authority. Just one look at him is enough to scare people to death!
Lu Ye's face darkened, he snatched the cigarette from the captain's ear, and said coldly: "Are you the uncle who bullied Qiqi and wanted to rob her house? I warn you, Qiqi is my woman, if anyone dares to bully her again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying this, he pretended to accidentally reveal the holster on his waist, his eyes becoming even colder.
Everyone was shocked. It was terrible. Ruan Qiqi’s target was so fierce. They couldn’t afford to offend him!
