Chapter 4



But she didn't expect the car to stop next to her. When she saw the familiar military truck, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. It was a soldier.

"Comrade, where do you live? I'm going to Bailutang. If it's on the way, I'll give you a ride."

"I live in Dashuping Production Brigade, thank you for your help," Jiang Li did not refuse, her energy was completely exhausted.

"Why do you look so bad? Come, let me give you a hand," the soldier driving the car said.

The passenger door opened, and Jiang Li stretched out a hand and used it to get into the car.

When she raised her head, she saw a face with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes.

She has a high nose bridge and rosy lips. To use the words of her previous life, she looks like she could take eight hours to cook a meal.

Why does this face look so familiar? Jiang Li took a closer look in the moonlight and found that it was surprisingly familiar.

The masculine aura that came towards her enveloped her aggressively. She let go of the man's hand in a panic, but hurriedly put her hand on his arm again.

Feeling the hard muscles under her hands and the burning temperature rising along her fingertips, Jiang Li blushed and her heart beat faster.

Apart from anything else, this strong appearance is in line with her aesthetic.

"Eriya, let go and sit still."

A mellow male voice rang in her ears, and Jiang Li stuttered, "Sorry."

She loosened her hands and sat down obediently, moving her butt towards the door and quietly sitting a little further away from the seat.

The military comrade in the cab talked to Jiang Li in a very familiar manner, "Comrade, do you live in Dashuping?

What a coincidence! Our leader’s home is in the production brigade next door. Do you know Bailutang? Maybe you even know our leader! "

"I know."

Not only did she know this, she also witnessed with her own eyes the scene of Captain Qi's breaking off of the engagement today.

"Xiao Tang, drive more carefully."

Tang Huaimin was very excited. "Don't worry, Captain. It's not dark yet. My driving skills are first-rate. I guarantee that I can take you home safely."

"Comrade, what's your name?

I often come to this area for work, and if you want to go to the city or buy something in the future, I can bring it to you."

Tang Huaimin was very excited. His mother had been urging him to find a wife for a long time, and he finally found someone he was compatible with.

Now that I have found out his name, it will be easier for me to make friends with him.

Qi Qiang felt irritated for no reason and looked at Jiang Li.

She looked out the window absentmindedly, not showing any excitement about riding in a car, and exuded a sense of loneliness.

Jiang Li opened the car window, and the wind from outside blew in, blowing a few strands of hair onto Qi Qiang's face.

A clean scent of soapberry mixed with an unknown herbal scent rushed to his nose.

Plop, plop, under the cover of night, Qi Qiang quietly clenched his sweaty fists, his chest was about to explode.

The headlights illuminated the yellow mud road at the entrance of the village. The rumbling sound of the car attracted a barking of dogs. We had arrived at Dashuping.

Jiang Li jumped out of the car and thanked Tang Huaimin, "Thank you, military comrade, for sending me home."

"You're welcome. It's my duty to serve the people," Tang Huaimin grinned. He had just asked about the girl's situation in the car.

She is not married yet, so she still has a chance.

The Dashuping Production Brigade had no electricity, so in order to save money, the villagers rarely lit candles at night, and it was completely dark at night.

Jiang Li took a look at the endless night and clutched the corner of her clothes in fear.

She has been afraid of the dark and dogs since she was a child. Her family and friends all know this, so she always has someone to accompany her when she goes out at night.

But now, has anyone in the Jiang family noticed that she didn't go home?

There was no point in being afraid. Jiang Li clenched her fists, took a deep breath, put her timidity behind her, and strode forward.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her. Jiang Li turned around and saw Qi Keqiang lagging behind her for a few steps.

Noticing Jiang Li's surprised look, Qi Qiang pursed his lips and said seriously, "My home is also this way."

The two of them didn't say anything. Qi Qiang followed her closely. Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled unconsciously, with two pear-shaped curls faintly curled on her cheeks.

Noticing that Jiang Li's steps had become lighter, Qi Qiang's mouth curled up.

After turning a corner, I saw the low courtyard wall of the Jiang family, and I could see the courtyard clearly in the moonlight.

The smoke from the west kitchen had long since stopped, and the remaining rooms were dark with no lights on.

Jiang Li: A girl doesn't come home so late, aren't her family worried?

Qi Xiaoqiang frowned and his eyes fell on Jiang Li's clothes.

That ordinary blue shirt had turned slightly white from being washed for too long.

The sleeves were a little too short and were joined with scraps of cloth of a different color. It looked like an old garment from long ago.

Thinking of Jiang Hongmei's bossy attitude towards her today, Qi Qiang's heart tightened a little.

"I'm here. Goodbye, Comrade Qi."

A warm paper package fell into Jiang Li's arms, and the familiar aroma of meat wafted to his nose. Jiang Li looked up and could only see his tightly pursed lips. "You can take this. I, I don't like cold buns."

Food is expensive, so who would refuse a bun with meat in it?

Jiang Li touched the still warm bag and understood.

When she first crossed over, she looked in the mirror and found that her original self looked exactly like her in her previous life.

It’s just that due to long-term malnutrition, my hair has become dry and my complexion doesn’t look good.

But her facial features were still there, a rare beauty. So whether in school or in the village, there were people who showed their affection for her, overtly or covertly.

But Jiang Li's grandmother asked for a huge gift of several hundred yuan, and all the suitors from poorer families gave up.

Families who could afford the betrothal gifts gave up the idea because they were worried that they would be entangled by the Jiang family's greedy vampire country relatives.

So Jiang Li was still unmarried at the age of 18, so she was considered an old maid.

"Thank you, but I won't accept the reward without merit. I will return the money to you."

The Jiang family definitely didn't leave any dinner for her. Jiang Li wasn't exactly hungry, but she wouldn't easily accept a man's kindness.

Give it back to him? That doesn't mean he can see her again.

"In a few days, I will be assigned to work at the Wuyang Food Factory in the county. You can come to the factory to find me."

"Comrade Jiang, goodbye."

Without giving Jiang Li a chance to refuse, Qi Qiang hurried away. The Bailutang Production Brigade said it was next to Dashuping, but it would take at least ten minutes to walk there.

Originally, Xiao Tang was about to step on the accelerator, but he got out of the car early.
