As he spoke, Yan Lin pushed her arm away, walked to the door, took down the military jacket hanging on the wall, and wrapped himself up tightly.
He didn't want to hold her back.
The more I get to know her, the more I realize she's like a gem.
He is the stinking mud in the lowlands, the virus in the dust, the old scourge that wreaks havoc wherever he goes, he will drag her down and make her unable to hold her head high in front of others.
She's such a good girl, how could she marry such an ugly man?
She deserves the best man in the world.
"I know a few people in Beijing who do scientific research, researching airplanes, artillery, and other weapons. Some of them have returned from abroad, and I trust a few of them. They're all good people and have good looks..."
"Bullshit."
Suddenly, Xu Manzhi couldn't help but swear.
Her cheeks flushed, her eyes blazing with anger. Clenching her fists, she rushed up to him, grabbed his collar, and snapped, "You want to give me to another man? Are you really willing to?"
I can't bear to part with it!
Yan Lin felt a firm conviction echoing in his heart.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
She is so good.
If I marry him, wouldn't it be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung?
He didn't want to hurt her, and he didn't want her to endure the strange looks from outsiders.
Just thinking about it makes him feel frustrated and uncomfortable.
"Don't even think about leaving me. In a few days, get your household registration book ready, and we'll get our marriage certificate first, so you won't be fickle and think about marrying another woman—"
"I don't!"
Yan Lin also clenched his fists.
There were no other women in his eyes, not before, but now only her…
"Then let's not get married. I'll give you three days to think it over. I'll be waiting for you at the marriage registration office. You only have one hour. If you're late, I'll just grab someone randomly from the crowd and marry whoever I find. You decide."
Xu Manzhi gave a cold response.
She picked up her chopsticks, carried the braised pork to the table, and began to eat.
"Don't just eat meat, there are steamed buns here."
Yan Lin walked into the kitchen, took a hot steamed bun from the stove, and handed it to Xu Manzhi.
"Wow, steamed buns with meat, absolutely amazing!"
A bite of meat, a bite of steamed bun.
Xu Manzhi felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
The man beside her was still there.
The aura emanating from his body was a particularly pleasant scent, capable of bringing her ultimate enjoyment on a spiritual level.
Double the joy.
She was so excited she wanted to shout.
Seeing that she liked it, Yan Lin took the dark kettle, scooped a ladle of water from the bucket to fill it, and mentioned that the coal stove was the one for boiling water.
As the weather gets hotter, he also bought some tea leaves. Once the water boils, he can brew a whole pot of tea and drink it chilled, making it a perfect way to cool down in the summer.
"How come you can cook such good food?" Xu Manzhi asked.
Yan Lin carefully placed the kettle down.
He brought over a plate of pickled cowpeas, placed it on the small table, and said casually, "I've never been full since I was a child. I was often driven into caves and almost starved to death. At first, I ate some wild fruits, but later, when I was really too hungry, I would catch ground squirrels and snakes... and roast them to eat."
My skills were terrible at first.
The blood mixed with animal fur is not only foul-smelling, but also easily causes stomach upset, sometimes keeping the patient from getting out of bed for days.
Later they learned how to start a fire.
He would set up a fire in the wild and eat whatever he caught, roasting it all over the fire.
The worst incident was when the Yan family's house was ransacked. His own father said the bad luck was brought by a monster, kicked him out of the house, and said he didn't want to see him for a month and would beat him every time he saw him.
He spent a month in the mountains.
When thirsty, they drank water from ditches; when hungry, they ate wild fruits; they roasted anything they could; when tired, they lay on tree branches and endured it all.
When he joined the army later, he also started as a cook.
His cooking skills improved with practice, and he made the company commander happy, so he was transferred out of the kitchen...
"Wow, you like to eat snakes too? That's great! I caught over a hundred snakes last time, and I've already dried them all and made them into jerky. I'll share some with you later."
Xu Manzhi grasped a key point.
Yan Lin was slightly taken aback.
He never revealed his true feelings to anyone.
I thought that if I said it, I would be met with disdain and contempt.
Unexpectedly, Manzhi reacted this way.
His tense scalp relaxed instantly, and a glimmer of light shone in his dark eyes as he silently nodded.
Xu Manzhi smiled.
It's truly not easy to nurture and strengthen the light in a man's eyes.
but--
She has plenty of strength, plenty of time, and a heart so strong it could burst.
They're not even afraid of zombies.
How could we give up so easily?
Xu Manzhi, her mouth greasy from eating, suddenly remembered something and glanced at him, asking, "Have you eaten?"
"I...have eaten it."
Cough cough.
Yan Lin had just told a lie when he was immediately exposed and his lie was proven false.
He stood up awkwardly and hurriedly said, "I'll go back to the unit to eat. It's almost lunchtime now, and it would be a waste not to eat."
waste?
That won't do.
Xu Manzhi hurriedly pushed him towards the door, urging, "Hurry up, we must make it to mealtime, we absolutely cannot waste food."
When Yan Lin returned to the military region, Zou Xiaozhou nudged his elbow and said with a mischievous grin, "We had yellow croaker for lunch, it's a pity you didn't come."
Thud.
He felt so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back.
Especially when Zou Xiaozhou deliberately caused trouble, his forehead hurt even more. He kicked him hard and said angrily, "Get lost! If you talk nonsense again, you'll do a hundred squats and two hundred push-ups on the spot!"
Recently, his company went to other places to recruit new soldiers.
