“Do you really remember?” Shang Ruirui blinked again, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
She didn't understand why she suddenly felt aggrieved, as the other person not only did not owe her anything, but had also helped her.
Tian Jun confirmed again: "I remember, at the end of 1977, at Bin City Bus Station."
At that time, after sending his third aunt Tian Xin to Nanjing to find her third uncle's husband, he rushed to his hometown alone. When passing by the bus station, he met Shang Ruirui who was targeted by human traffickers, and he helped her.
In Tian Jun's opinion, this was a trivial matter and he never expected that the two would meet in this way.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the teardrop mole under the little girl's almond-shaped eyes inconspicuously. She actually... hadn't changed much, so he recognized her at a glance.
Seeing him explain it so clearly, and thinking about why they met the other day, Shang Ruirui felt happy but also a little embarrassed.
After a moment, she turned her face away slightly, not daring to stare at him anymore. She used her fingers, which had nowhere to rest, to hook a few strands of hair that had fallen from her temples behind her ears, and then she whispered, "I... I've changed a lot, I thought you didn't recognize me."
"No, you haven't changed much. You're the same as you were four years ago." The man said sincerely.
Shang Ruirui...
Four years ago, her father made her wear short hair in order to protect her.
Moreover, he had just gone through the most difficult ten years of his life. Although he could not be called ugly, he was indeed very thin and a little dark.
What's the difference now? Not only is her skin whiter, she has grown taller, and most importantly, she still has long black hair.
Anyone who sees this will say that girls change a lot when they grow up.
But it turns out that in this man's eyes, I am actually... no different from the skinny and dark girl four years ago?
This... simply made Shang Ruirui laugh and cry.
She wanted to complain about the man's double-talk, but now was not a good time to talk in detail, so she had no choice but to reach out and take a plate from him, pointing upstairs: "Let's go upstairs first?"
Hearing this, Tian Jun subconsciously looked into the little girl's eyes, and when he was sure that there was nothing wrong, he nodded: "Go ahead."

Second floor.
As the main forces, Tian Yu and Tang Qingqing had intended to bring the two together. They were also very good at chatting, so in just a short while, they calmed down the nervous Min Xiu'er.
At this moment, she saw her daughter's face was pink and her eyes were shy. She didn't understand why Ruirui had changed so quickly.
Well, it's better to meet someone you like than to force yourself to marry someone.
Thinking of this, Min Xiu looked at the young man who was carrying the teapot and adding tea to everyone, and he felt more relieved. He even felt that the young man's face was not so fierce anymore.
Shang Ruirui leaned close to her mother's ear and told her that Tian Jun was the soldier who helped her at the bus station a few years ago.
It was said that although the family was well that year, her father was infected with typhoid fever and her mother's health was not much better, so she had to run around on the way back to the city.
I still remember that after she put her father and luggage in the car, she took the time to run out to buy food for the journey.
Unexpectedly, just after she walked out of the station gate, she was met with bad guys who took her away forcefully. Even when passers-by asked her, they were fearless and said that she was the daughter-in-law who stole money from the family and ran away. No matter how she explained or begged, no one believed her.
If she hadn't happened to meet Tian Jun, Shang Ruirui couldn't even imagine what would have happened to her later.
Women probably have a natural liking for men who extend a helping hand to them in times of crisis.
Especially when the opponent is a brave, resolute and upright soldier.
At that moment, Shang Ruirui felt throbbing in her heart and was even more grateful. It was not an exaggeration for Tian Jun to say that she was a hero.
Unfortunately, when she came to her senses from her panic, she found that the hero had already left, and she didn't even have the time to ask his name.
Of course, she had never concealed this from her father.
Therefore, Shang Ruirui only mentioned two things and Min Xiumei reacted. Immediately, she looked at Tian Junmei without any reluctance in her eyes. Even though she was not good at speaking, she wanted to praise her former benefactor to the utmost.
Tang Qingqing was confused: "Wait a minute, what do you mean, I heard... Ruirui and Xiaojuan knew each other before?"
Tian Yu and Tian Mi were also curious.
Min Xiu-yu recounted the events of a few years ago, and at the end she said with emotion: "Rui-rui and I have always been thinking about it, but we never thought that such a coincidence would happen."
Tang Qingqing slapped her thigh and waved happily at the two young people: "...kids, this is fate, why are you still standing there? Go and play by yourselves."
Tian Yu also felt that this was a marriage destined by heaven. He smiled and patted his nephew beside him, "Go ahead, take Ruirui for a good walk."
No matter how calm he was, Tian Jun was a little overwhelmed by the teasing, and the back of his neck felt very hot.
He didn't rush to get up, but first looked at the girl with a blush on her face. After making sure that she didn't show any reluctance, he tried his best to stay calm and stood up and asked, "Do you want to go out?"
Shang Ruirui was also embarrassed, because she cherished this encounter too much. Although she didn't say anything when she heard it, she stood up, picked up the bag on the chair and walked to the man.
Tian Jun took the bag from the little girl, said goodbye to everyone, and made an agreement with Min Xiu to send the girl home before leading everyone away.

The weather was very beautiful today.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sky is clear and blue.
After leaving the teahouse, Tian Jun looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, then lowered his head and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
He didn't know much about Beijing, so he decided to let the girl choose.
Shang Ruirui has never been in a relationship and is relatively quiet during the day. She spends most of her free time painting.
My first reaction upon hearing this was to start searching through the places I often went to.
But after filtering through two or three places, her expression froze for a moment. Then she pursed her lips, raised her hand and pointed to a place, saying, "There's a riverside park about ten minutes ahead. I go there often. How about we sit there? I want to... tell you in detail about the situation at home."
Although the blind date partner is the hero she has been thinking about for several years, she is happy and hopes to have a good start with him. Shang Ruirui does not intend to hide her current difficulties.
Tian Jun looked at the time and it was still a little before ten o'clock.
He said to the little girl, "Wait a moment," and ran to the car parked opposite and took out a military water bottle.
Then he led the person to a small shop not far away, picked out a hat with a wide brim and handed it to her.
