Xu's mother saw at a glance that this young man, who looked impressive in military uniform, was actually a scoundrel.

This guy had bumped into her and her daughter in a department store before, and he even demanded an apology from her.

I still wanted to tease her daughter, but I didn't expect that after just half a year, she had suddenly become a soldier.

Haha, anyone can join the army now. This kid obviously has a character problem. I don’t know whether he is defending the country or hurting the people by joining the army.

Xu Ying also frowned when she saw Zhang Zhiguo. Her memory was not good, but she remembered clearly those who had offended her.

"Is it popular among soldiers now to climb over walls and illegally break into other people's homes?" Xu Ying said in a cold voice, curling her lips.

Zhang Zhiguo smiled cheekily and said nonchalantly: "You are really sharp-tongued, girl. I have been rescuing you for several days.

I didn't even have a hot meal. I finally have a break today, so I can eat some food from the public, right?"

Zhang Zhiguo tried hard to control his saliva from flowing out too much. The food cooked by this woman was so delicious. He didn't know what was cooking in the pot.

It makes people drool.

Just as Xu Ying was about to speak, Zhang Zhiguo saw Second Brother Xu leave the house. He immediately grinned and rushed over with a smile: "Brother Xu, is this your home?"

When Xu Lao Er saw the man, he was obviously delighted and ran over quickly: "Brother Zhiguo, you are also coming to our village?

Didn't you say you were going to the county? Is Uncle Zhang coming with you?"

"Don't worry about him, he is resting. By the way, where is your brother?" Zhang Zhiguo looked around curiously.

Didn’t the man say at that time that he was from Xujia Village? How come he had been there for more than a day? He and his uncle had looked everywhere but couldn’t find that person?

Didn’t Xu Shengcai say that the man was his future brother-in-law? This wasn’t his family, so why did he just disappear?

I don’t know how my uncle knows this person. He looks aloof and cold, and doesn’t seem like someone who is easy to get along with.

What do you want to see him for?

"You are talking about Huo Chen, he is not at my house." Xu Shengcai said with a smile.

Xu Ying raised her head suspiciously, looking at Zhang Zhiguo with a wary face: "Do you know Huo Chen? What do you want from him?"

Zhang Zhiguo met Xu Ying's eyes and smiled: "What's in the pot? I'm so hungry that I can't speak."

Xu Ying's face darkened.

"Are you farting now, kid?" Xu's mother asked directly.

Zhang Zhiguo's expression changed instantly.

Brother Xu looked at Zhang Zhiguo a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhiguo, don't be angry, my mother is like that."

Zhang Zhiguo suppressed his anger and thought about what his uncle had told him. He smiled and said, "It's okay."

“Come to think of it, my aunt and I have met your sister before, so there might have been some misunderstanding.

Auntie, I was ignorant before, so my uncle sent me to the army to discipline me.

I have been gone for half a year now, and my personality has changed a lot. I apologize for what I did to you before. I am sorry."

Xu's mother didn't expect him to apologize suddenly and was stunned for a moment.

After reacting, she quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you know you are wrong."

Then she, being a great lady, forgave him.

For lunch, Xu Ying cooked fish soup using fish caught directly from the river.

Fortunately, the rain came right before the Chinese New Year, and every household had a lot of New Year's goods left, so there was enough food at home.

I don't worry about running out of money at all.

When the big fish flooded the area, every household braved the rain and hurriedly pulled out all the vegetables, so there was some food to eat now.

The Xu family gathered together to eat hot pot, and Zhang Zhiguo swallowed his saliva frequently as he smelled the aroma.

He didn't want to eat for nothing, he went back and took out a few bags of "instant noodles" that were full of age.

"See? This thing is very convenient to eat. Just soak it in hot water, sprinkle this seasoning on it and you can eat it." Zhang Zhiguo only talked about the convenience and did not mention the taste.

Xu Ying guessed that the instant noodles now would definitely not taste good.

"Then put it in the hot pot and eat it." Xu Ying was quite curious about what instant noodles taste like nowadays.

She did see instant noodles when she went to the Friendship Building some time ago. They were sold in the department store in their county. If she hadn't seen instant noodles when she went to the Friendship Building last time, she would have thought that they were not yet produced in this era.

Zhang Zhiguo tore open the instant noodles bag, took out a piece of noodles and put it directly into the pot.

The Xu family members were all curious, after all, they had never seen such a thing before.

After instant noodles are boiled, they are similar to noodles, but the noodles are more curly.

The aroma of hot pot mixed with the aroma of instant noodles. A trace of trance flashed across Zhang Zhiguo's face. It smelled delicious.

He quickly picked up a piece of instant noodles with chopsticks, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This instant noodles usually tastes bland when cooked in plain water, I didn't expect it to be so delicious when cooked in a hot pot.

You all should try it quickly, it is so delicious."

Xu's mother curiously picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, took a bite and was surprised. This noodle tasted more fragrant and chewy than noodles, it was indeed good.

“It’s really good.”

"Brother, don't forget to give my sister-in-law the fish soup and meatball soup in the pot." Xu Ying turned her head and looked at Brother Xu and said.

Now she can forget about pork or anything like that, but she has plenty of fish, after all, because she has bait that can attract fish.

I just hope that this fish will really do as I said in my previous life and stop in three or four days.

Zhang Zhiguo felt that he had made the right choice to have dinner this time. The hotpot was so delicious, spicy and satisfying, making people unable to stop eating and leaving them with an endless aftertaste.

Even though he was sweating profusely and his mouth was red from the spiciness, Zhang Zhiguo couldn't stop eating.

Xu Ying looked at him curiously: "Zhang Zhiguo, where did you buy this instant noodles? How come I didn't know there are factories producing instant noodles in China?"

Instant noodles were first produced in Japan and later came to China. However, the taste of the noodles made by Chinese people was not ideal, and it was not until more than ten years later that they seemed to become popular.

If she could find out where the instant noodles are produced and get the machine that produces them, she could then change the flavor and add some other seasoning packets, and the taste would definitely double.

By then, instant noodles will definitely be very popular, as foreigners love instant noodles very much.

Xu Ying's eyes lit up, as if she had seen another way to make money.

"Instant noodles have long been produced in Beijing Food Factory, which has a dedicated production chain, but now it seems that Magic City Food Factory also has it."

When Zhang Zhiguo turned his head, he saw that the corners of Xu Ying's mouth were raised, her eyes were curved, and there was a playful smile on her face, smart and cunning.

Zhang Zhiguo thought she was pretty when they were in the department store before, and now he was dazzled by her smile and his heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ying felt the gaze and looked in the direction it took her. Her eyes met Zhang Zhiguo's in an instant. She glared at Zhang Zhiguo and turned her head away.

Zhang Zhiguo felt that her coquettishness was even more adorable after she glared at him.

It’s a pity that I already have a partner.
