Huo Jinyan felt that this was a torture, a very cruel torture.
He didn't know whether Jiang Mengning meant what she said literally or if there was any metaphor behind it.
Anyway, he had the wrong idea.
The weather was already hot, and it was even hotter now.
This woman, why does she always like to say weird things recently!
He ignored her, quickened his pace, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Almost as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he put the person down.
"We're at the foot of the mountain, walk back on your own!"
He didn't even look at her, just left her behind and walked ahead.
Jiang Mengning shrugged.
This guy is really unromantic.
"Hey, Huo Jinyan, you seem to be very shy! Your face is red."
The man in front paused and then continued walking.
"You're quite entertaining." Jiang Mengning was in a good mood. When she was bored, she would chat with him and occasionally pull some weeds on the roadside, which made the journey very fast.
When they arrived at the military gate, the two walked in one after the other.
The soldier at the door stood straight and saluted Huo Jinyan.
As for Jiang Mengning, he didn't dare to go and see her, for fear that he would be caught by the political commissar again and scolded.
Huo Jinyan subconsciously glanced at him, feeling that something was wrong.
This thought flashed through his mind, and then he joined the army.
There was a distance of several meters between him and Jiang Mengning, one in front and one behind. Coupled with the man's expressionless face, it was easy to cause misunderstanding.
The military wives who were still drying their bedding on the edge of the playground saw the two of them and couldn't help but murmur.
"Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? Those two are arguing again."
"Why are you arguing again?"
"It seems Jiang Mengning went out, maybe to meet some dubious man, and Captain Huo happened to see her. He must be furious! Think about it, a man is a man of integrity. He wouldn't want his woman to cheat on him! Anyone would be angry."
"Oh, Jiang Mengning really doesn't know what's good for her. She doesn't even cherish such a good man like Captain Huo. If I were to ask her, they should just get divorced. If they do, Captain Huo can still find someone better. Instead, he's ruined by being wasted by Jiang Mengning."
"That's right. There are so many unmarried girls in the compound, all of them are better than Jiang Mengning. Anyone who marries Captain Huo will have a happy ending. I think Niu Lili is good. She's pretty, a member of the art troupe, and a good dancer. She has a good figure and good looks, much better than Jiang Mengning."
"Niu Lili, she's quite good. I heard many young men pursued her, but she refused all of them. What do you think? Is Niu Lili waiting for Captain Huo to get divorced?"
The voices of discussion gradually died down.
Niu Lili was carrying a net bag of apples and happened to hear these words when she passed by.
Her back straightened up immediately.
She even smoothed her long braid in front of her chest in a pretentious manner.
Although she showed no emotion on her face, she was very happy in her heart.
It turns out that so many people support her marrying Brother Huo!
Just look at it! The public's eyes are sharp. She is better than Jiang Mengning, and she is worthy of Brother Huo.
Niu Lili looked at Jiang Mengning who was walking behind Huo Jinyan with vicious eyes.
From this moment on, she despised that fickle woman from the bottom of her heart.
She, Jiang Mengning, is nothing.
One day, she will take her place and successfully marry Brother Huo.
She bit her lip and looked at Huo Jinyan with admiration.
A tall and handsome man is the most dazzling person in the crowd wherever he goes.
Almost as soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but walk towards him.
"Brother Huo, I bought some sweet apples for you."
She picked the biggest and reddest apple and handed it to Huo Jinyan.
Her face was as red as an apple at this moment.
Anyone who sees that shy and timid look will be confused.
Huo Jinyan frowned: "No need."
He refused without mercy.
"Brother Huo, this is really delicious."
It feels bad to be rejected, and it’s just an apple. He doesn’t want it. What’s the point?
Are they afraid that people will gossip about them?
Maybe Brother Huo was really afraid that people would talk about her, so he refused to protect her self-esteem.
Brother Huo is so nice, he always considers her in everything!
He must still have some fondness for her.
But it really doesn't matter, she is not afraid of gossip at all!
Niu Lili twisted her body shyly, feeling warm and sweet in her heart.
"Please eat it, it's really delicious." She continued to pursue.
Huo Jinyan lost his patience and simply ignored her.
Jiang Mengning walked up with her arms folded across her chest, sneering undisguisedly.
This woman is being so attentive in public, she must be either a traitor or a thief!
"Oh, what a big apple! Such a big apple must have cost a lot of money! Niu Lili, you are so thoughtful. Fruit is a good thing. You are so generous to give away such an expensive thing. As expected, everyone in the compound praises you highly, saying that you are a good person with a kind heart and are sensible."
She smiled and took the initiative to shout to the nearby soldiers, "Come here, everyone! Niu Lili is in a good mood today and is treating everyone to apples. Why don't you come and thank your sister Niu!"
When she shouted like this, seven or eight soldiers came over happily.
The soldiers were all tanned, but their teeth were neat and white. When they smiled, you could see two rows of teeth shaking.
"Niu Lili, you really treated us to apples! Thank you! I usually can't bear to buy this kind of thing."
"It smells quite good. Thank you so much, Niu Lili."
Niu Lili was stunned with shock and choked to the point of being speechless.
When did she say she was giving apples? There are only a few of them, and they are so expensive. These are all for Huo Jinyan, okay!
How could I possibly feed it to a few soldiers!
But in the current situation, if we don't give it, we will be in trouble.
She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
He almost cursed Jiang Mengning to death in his heart.
You stupid woman, you are such a bad mouth.
This is my apple, not yours. Why do you have the right to make the decision for me?
She was really pissed off.
After struggling with her thoughts for a moment, she could only take out the apples from the net bag with a forced smile and distribute them one by one.
"Haha, this apple is quite sweet. You can have some."
My heart bleeds every time I take one!
Every time she took one, she would scold Jiang Mengning.
That's all money! Her life!
Jiang Mengning, I hate you so much.
In the end, all the apples in the net bag were divided up.
She herself didn't even taste the apple flavor.
The soldiers got the apples and laughed heartily.
"Niu Lili, thank you. Thank you, too, my wife!"
