Chapter 1408: Enemies on a Narrow Road 2
While Li Shuitian was queuing to buy things, Lu Jiang kept his eyes and ears open, with most of his attention focused on his children and the rest on the crowd in the grocery store.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.
It was so familiar that he recognized it at the first sight. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes. When he looked again, the owner of the face had left the place and should have left the grocery store.
"Shuitian," Lu Jiang called him, "Why did I see Lu Zhaodi?"
Li Shuitian took back the change from the butcher and said, "You're not mistaken, it's her."
Lu Jiang was stunned, "Why is she here?"
Did Jin Hong leave the army? Lu Jiang regretted not asking Ye Zhengjun about the army's recent situation.
Li Shuitian slapped his thigh and said, "It's been more than a year since we last met. Comrade Lu Jiang, you are really a master of foresight!"

Although Li Shuitian left the army because of a report and it was not considered a transfer, with his abilities and connections, it was easy for him to find a job when he returned to his hometown, and he was bound to settle in Baozhou because of work.
"My Hongzhu always says that enemies often meet on a narrow road!" Li Shuitian did not directly answer Lu Jiang's question, but instead said with emotion, "Isn't it a coincidence that Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi's homes are separated from ours by just a wall!"
Originally, he and his wife had money, and if they were short of food, they could buy expensive food on the black market, and they would have no problem living a stable life as farmers for the rest of their lives. He could never bear to leave the army, and remembered what Lu Jiang had said to him before he left. He wanted to return to the army, but things were beyond his control. They had been away from their hometown for too long, so long that they had already developed a gap with their fellow villagers. Also, because many people said that Cao Hongzhu was a hen that didn't lay eggs, he felt sorry for his wife, so he resolutely found a job and settled down in Baozhou.
Jin Hong is very good at scheming. Even if he is expelled from the army for his crimes, he can still find a job to support his family.
He is not from Baozhou, but his wife's family is, although her parents are no longer there.
Lu Jiang suddenly had an idea and asked tentatively, "Work together?"
The reason he left the army was that Cao Hongzhu shamelessly said that "eating one's own children" damaged the image of the country. Even if it was not said by him, the husband and wife are one, so after leaving the army he could only return to his hometown to farm.
"If we're separated by a wall, what else can we be but neighbors? No, we're enemies." Li Shuitian led them out of the grocery store and headed towards his home. He didn't forget that the reason he had to leave the army was because of Jin Hong. This feud was irreconcilable. "If you listen to what I'm going to say next, you'll completely understand what it means that enemies often meet again."
Lu Jiang burst out laughing, "You guys became neighbors?"
"Comrade Cao Hongzhu and I have settled in Baozhou for almost a year," Li Shuitian said as he pushed open the door of his home, continuing to talk to Lu Jiang. "We were living a stable life, but who knew that Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi would show up halfway!"
Lu Jiang asked, "How long has Jin Hong been here?"
It has been less than a year since he was transferred to Baozhou, and I believe Jin Hong has been here even shorter. At least Jin Hong was still very successful before he left the army.
Li Shuitian replied: "About two months. They came here two months ago. By the way, Comrade Lu Jiang, why did Jin Hong leave the army? And why are you here?"
After leaving the army, he had no contact with his comrades and had no idea what happened after he left.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
