Chen Hao wanted to say something more, but Lin Muren held him back, indicating that this was not the time to talk about this.
Mu Jingran picked up the wine glass again and said.
"Thank you two sisters for saving my life."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao also picked up their glasses and drank the wine.
"Comrade Mu, you don't have to be so polite. Putting aside other things, I admire your identity as a soldier. I think in the hearts of you soldiers, sacrificing your lives for the country is your duty. But in my heart, you soldiers are the protectors of us civilians. Without you soldiers, how could we have the stable life we have today?"
Sun Yuqi said this not as a slogan, but from the heart. Not to mention anything else, if Sun Yuqi had not met a veteran in the apocalypse in her previous life, she might have been killed by zombies at that time. It was because of that veteran that she met Sun Yuqi that she was taught the cultivation methods of superpowers, as well as military boxing and swordsmanship. Otherwise, Sun Yuqi would not have been able to survive for so long in the apocalypse.
Sun Yuqi's words were actually very ordinary, because in this era, everyone can say a few slogans, but everyone present could hear the sincerity between her words.
This made Lu Chen, who was standing aside, feel a little jealous. Apart from anything else, Sun Yuqi never had a good face in front of him. And from what Sun Yuqi just said, he still felt Sun Yuqi's admiration and respect for soldiers. Although he was not a real soldier, he also came from the army, so why did she hate him so much?
The two completely different attitudes towards himself and Mu Jingran made Lu Chen feel a little sad.
Sun Yuqi didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking. She was also happy to meet Mu Jingran. She couldn't explain what the feeling was, but she was in a good mood anyway.
For the rest of the time, everyone was chatting happily. Lu Yao, Lin Muren and Sun Yuqi had already gone into the house to sit down and chat, while the three men were continuing to drink under the tree outside.
Lu Chen looked at Mu Jingran sourly.
"Mu Jingran, I didn't expect you to be so thorough in your inquiries. You even found out the names of my sister and Sun Yuqi."
Mu Jingran blinked and looked at Lu Chen, then looked at Chen Hao.
"What you said is true. They are my saviors. If I don't go and ask about them, then what will I become? Wouldn't that be ungrateful?"
Chen Hao squinted his eyes and glanced at Lu Chen, a smile on his lips, but he didn't say anything. He had long seen that Lu Chen had some interest in Sun Yuqi, but this person probably didn't understand his heart yet! So let him be confused!
It’s not that Chen Hao is unwilling to help his good friends and brothers, but Chen Hao knows the old man of the Lu family very well. Not to mention the relationship between Sun Yuqi and the Gu family, even if Sun Yuqi has no connection with the Gu family, the old man of the Lu family will not look down on Sun Yuqi’s background. After all, that generation still likes to marry someone of equal status.
If the old man of the Lu family knew about the relationship between Sun Yuqi and the Gu family, he would probably hate Sun Yuqi even more, because the old man of the Gu family has never been at odds with the old man of the Lu family since he was young, and they are still the same until now. When they meet, their eyes are not eyes, their noses are not noses, and they dislike each other.
This is why Chen Hao and Lin Muren had long noticed that Lu Chen liked Sun Yuqi a little, but Chen Hao and Lin Muren never mentioned the fact that Lu Chen liked her in front of Sun Yuqi.
When Lu Chen heard Mu Jingran say this, he was speechless. What could he say? He said that Mu Jingran had bad intentions, but firstly, he had no evidence, and secondly, Mu Jingran didn't say anything. He just said that he wanted to thank his two sisters for saving his life. What could he really say?
A group of people stayed at Sun Yuqi's house until dusk before dispersing. Before leaving, Mu Jingran said to Sun Yuqi.
"I came here in such a hurry today that I didn't prepare any thank-you gifts. A simple verbal thank you would be too insignificant. I hope to invite you two sisters to visit my grandfather in a couple of days. I will thank you then."
Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao looked at each other, unsure whether they should agree or not, but Lu Yao nodded.
"Okay, then Yuqi and I will wait for Brother Mu's notification."
Seeing that Lu Yao agreed, Sun Yuqi didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
After seeing everyone off, the two of them closed the door and sat in the yard drinking sour plum soup, both to sober up and to cool down.
"Haha, Yuqi, when we rescued Mu Jingran, we really didn't think that we would meet again one day."
Sun Yuqi drank the sour plum soup in the bowl and wiped her mouth.
"That's true, but he was really patient when he came here today. He didn't say anything until dinner. I guess he found out from our conversation after he came here that it was us two who saved him, so that's why he did that."
Mu Jingran just returned to his grandfather's house, and was seen by his grandfather as soon as he entered the yard.
"Jingran is back. Why do you smell of alcohol? You should drink less alcohol. It's very harmful to your health."
Mu Jingran walked to his grandfather with a chuckle.
"Don't worry, Grandpa! I'm going to meet a friend today! Who would have thought that I would actually meet my savior? No matter what, I should toast him with a glass of wine, right?"
Mu Jingran immediately realized something was wrong after he finished speaking, and quickly covered his mouth and looked at his grandfather.
Mu Huaiqing immediately frowned, looked at Mu Jingran seriously and said in a deep voice.
"Tell me, when did you get injured? When did you get injured? Where did you get injured?"
Facing his grandfather's questioning, Mu Jingran smiled awkwardly.
"Grandpa, it's all over. Look, I'm fine, right?"
Mu Huaiqing was waving a palm-leaf fan and just staring at Mu Jingran. He watched Mu Jingran, who had experienced war, slowly lose the battle, and then he spoke.
"Two years ago, I went to the Northeast on a mission and was injured. To avoid being hunted by those people, I went into the mountains and was eventually rescued by two female educated youth. Today, two friends from my former compound and I went to visit one of the female educated youth. Who would have thought that when we got there, I found out that the two female educated youth were actually my saviors. At that time, I only asked for their names for the mission, but later I kept having things to do, so I thought I would find time to go there and look for them. Who would have thought that I would see them today."
"As for where I was injured, it was on a mountain near a village called Jianshe Brigade in Quan County, Northeast China."
Mu Huaiqing widened his eyes and asked when he heard this.
"You said you were rescued in the mountains near the Quanxian Construction Brigade?"
Mu Jingran didn't know why his grandfather was so excited, but he nodded anyway.
"Yes, the female educated youth I met are called Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao."
