The village is not far from the military area.
It's just over a small hill.
When we passed by, the soldiers had each found a shady spot and were sitting there to rest.
Basically, most soldiers have their wives delivering meals to them. Many wives who are good at work can deliver meals very quickly, and their husbands have already eaten.
Huo Jinyan was exhausted after a whole night and morning. His body was a little exhausted and he felt completely out of energy.
He was covered in dirt and looked very miserable.
He took out a steamed bun from his pocket and swallowed it without any water.
This was given to him by Duan Xiaowu in the morning. He didn't eat it, so it was just right for him to fill his stomach now.
When the steamed buns get cold, they become hard and have no taste at all.
Huo Jinyan, however, ate with particular relish.
He is really hungry.
"Captain, please eat my meal."
A soldier handed over a box lunch with vegetables and meat in it, which smelled delicious.
Huo Jinyan refused directly: "No, steamed buns will do."
The soldier knew the captain's temper, and he said no, he would never eat it even if he was beaten to death.
I didn't persuade him anymore.
The military wives felt very uncomfortable when they saw Captain Huo eating cold steamed buns alone.
They couldn't help but talk about Jiang Mengning again.
"Tell me, Captain Huo is such a good man, why didn't his wife know to cook and bring him over? She's so cruel to let her husband suffer outside."
"She's just a lazy glutton. Last time she nearly burned the whole house down while cooking. How can she possibly cook?"
"Hey, Captain Huo is so pitiful. If I didn't already have a man, I would really want to marry him and cook for him for the rest of my life."
The soldier who was eating glared at his wife.
"Don't you see how ugly you are? Captain Huo doesn't think highly of you. Behave yourself and stop talking nonsense."
The military wife snorted and said nothing more.
Just as things quieted down, within a few seconds the military wives became restless again.
"Look, look, isn't that Niu Lili? She's carrying a lunch box. I know without a doubt that she's bringing food to Captain Huo."
"It's really Niu Lili. This girl has a good heart, is beautiful, virtuous, and simple. She really should marry Captain Huo."
"Maybe Captain Huo won't be able to let go of this meal Niu Lili sent today, hahaha..."
The military wives were very gossipy and at this moment they wanted to shout at the top of their lungs for the two to get married right there.
They like those who are hardworking and simple, which is what military wives are really like.
That Jiang Mengning, she wears flowery dresses everywhere, how can she be a good wife?
It's similar to those in brothels.
Niu Lili blushed as she listened to these words along the way.
She really enjoyed it.
Now, the more people say that she and Huo Jinyan are a good match, the more likely she will marry Huo Jinyan.
She walked up to Huo Jinyan with confident steps, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she looked at his handsome face.
"Brother Huo, this is the meal I made myself and brought specially for you."
She opened the lunch box, wow, it was really rich!
There is twice-cooked pork, which is loved by almost all men. The meat is in big pieces and is cooked until shiny and oily, which makes you very appetizing at first glance.
There are also two fried eggs, a bowl of vegetables, and a big bowl of rice. If you eat with all your might, you will be full.
How many people looked at me with envy!
Huo Jinyan's good looks attract a lot of romantic interests. Even after getting married, there are still people following him around. He is very lucky.
"Niu Lili, this meal is delicious! It smells so good! You're so thoughtful. You know Captain Huo works hard for the people, so you're taking special care of him!"
The soldier's wife beside him joined in at the top of her voice.
Niu Lili lowered her head in shame.
"Well, Brother Huo is really hard-working. It's no big deal for me to cook a little."
She pushed the food box towards Huo Jinyan again and said, "Brother Huo, please eat quickly!"
Huo Jinyan swallowed the last bite of steamed bun without even looking at Niu Lili.
"No, take it."
Niu Lili was very sad after being rejected.
She still hasn't given up.
"Brother Huo, you haven't eaten properly since last night. If you don't eat something, your body will collapse. I just made a meal for you, so just eat it! It's really delicious."
"Hey! Niu Lili, you're here to deliver food too! You're delivering food to my old Huo. Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Mengning suddenly appeared from behind Niu Lili, scaring everyone present.
I was so focused on watching the show that I didn't see Jiang Mengning.
When I saw it, I suddenly felt like my eyes were brightened.
Before she came, everything around was gray, but when she came, the trees in the mountains became bright.
Jiang Mengning stood next to Niu Lili, which made her look particularly beautiful.
She was wearing a white floral dress today. The waistline was just right, making her waist look thin and narrow. Her figure was really beautiful.
Niu Lili was wearing patched clothes. When the two were compared, the one wearing the patches looked buried in the mud.
Military wives don’t want to admit that they look better in nice clothes, but the facts are there and they really can’t deny it.
Niu Lili was the most frightened.
She never thought Jiang Mengning would come.
Why did she come?
Jiang Mengning glanced at Niu Lili's food box, covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha, you are so kind. Why do you send food to my husband, Old Huo, but not to other officers? Do you think the other officers are unworthy? Oh, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. If you show favoritism, it will cause trouble for my husband, Old Huo."
