Zhang Jianjun wanted to talk to Xu Nuannuan more, so he asked her, "Nuannuan, where do you think Xingyao's sister is? Xingyao must be very anxious to see her."
"Actually, I..." Guan Xingyao started chatting with Xu Nuannuan, seemingly forgetting about looking for Lin Ruyan. He wanted to chat for a while, but her brother's girlfriend was here, so he couldn't be so clingy with her. So he followed Zhang Jianjun's words and said, "Yeah, Xu Zhiqing, where is she?"
"Over there." Xu Nuannuan pointed in a direction. "However, I need to tell you something first. Although I have a good relationship with Grandma Guan and I even consider her my own grandmother, there have been some minor frictions between Lin Zhiqing and me, and our relationship isn't very good. If you mind, let's just pretend we didn't say anything just now."
Guan Xingyao's expression froze for a moment.
He had just met Xu Nuannuan, but Xu Nuannuan gave him the feeling of being genuine and sensible, otherwise why would his grandmother like her so much.
What kind of friction did Xu Nuannuan and Lin Ruyan have, and why did it arise?
He was not in a position to ask them about the investigation yet, so he said, "I'm not that confused. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go over there and check on Ruyan."
"good."
He turned around and went to look for Lin Ruyan in the direction Xu Nuannuan pointed. He saw Lin Ruyan not far away.
Here, Zhang Jianjun had already become a distinguished guest of the Jiang family. Mei Xiangcao quickly ran up to him and asked him all sorts of questions: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Are you hungry? Come home with me and I'll make you something to eat."
"Auntie, I'm not hungry or thirsty, thank you."
Xu Nuannuan also introduced Mei Xiangcao, Jiang Yang and Jiang Ting to him.
"They are my future mother-in-law, my brother-in-law Jiang Yang and my sister-in-law Jiang Ting."
"Hello, Auntie, hello, brother Jiang Yang, hello, sister Jiang Ting."
Seeing that he was indeed strong, and had a simple and polite demeanor, Jiang Ting asked him, "What kind of boxing skills do you know?"
"Ah?" Zhang Jianjun was stunned for a moment. Xu Nuannuan said, "Brother Jianjun, don't blame me for acting without consulting you. Tingting likes to learn Kung Fu. I told her the day before yesterday that you were coming. I wanted you to teach her Military Boxing."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Of course, no problem. Military boxing includes many movements. It can't be simply reduced to boxing. When I get home, I can demonstrate a set for you."
"Okay." Jiang Ting looked at the green military uniform Zhang Jianjun was wearing, with admiration in her eyes.
Just now, the Jiang family and Xu Nuannuan were digging peanuts, basically in groups of two, Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan were in one group, using a shovel to shovel the peanuts, and Xu Nuannuan was pulling out the peanuts and shaking off the dirt around them.
Zhang Jianjun rolled up his sleeves and wanted to join in.
Mei Xiangcao quickly stopped her: "You are a guest, we can't let you work."
"Auntie, what's the difference between a guest and not a guest? Nuannuan and I are family, so please don't be polite to me."
"Brother Jianjun, you just arrived, you should take a rest." Xu Nuannuan also said.
"It's okay, it's okay. Walking this short distance is much easier than our usual training."
Xu Nuannuan knew that he was a down-to-earth person, and if she was too polite to him, he would feel uncomfortable.
She worked in a group with Jiang Ye, Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Yang. Jiang Ting had been working alone before, so she was able to form a two-person team with Zhang Jianjun.
But he was worried that Zhang Jianjun and Jiang Ting were not familiar with each other and would feel uncomfortable working together. He wanted to suggest that Jiang Ye and Jiang Ting work together, and she would be in the same group with Zhang Jianjun. But before he could say anything, Zhang Jianjun walked over to Jiang Ting and said, "Little sister, do you mind if I come with you?"
"No, I don't mind." Jiang Ting said, "I'll dig it up, you just pull out the peanuts."
"Hahahaha." Zhang Jianjun laughed. "I'm a grown man, how can I let you, a little girl, do the heavy work while I do the easy work?"
"Because you are a guest, you can't let guests do heavy work."
Zhang Jianjun took the shovel directly from her hand: "Don't treat me as a guest, just treat me as one of your own."
He did farm work in a very professional manner, and his movements in digging peanuts seemed to be no different from those of the farmers here.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever farmed before? I see you're quite skilled at this kind of work."
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "I didn't do it when I was at home, but later I joined the army and did it there."
"There's farming in the army? I always thought soldiers were just training all the time and didn't do anything else."
"No, we're self-sufficient in a lot of the food and vegetables we eat. We grow crops in our spare time between training. Being able to feed ourselves without external supplies is an essential skill for soldiers in combat.
Back then, our older generation of revolutionaries cultivated land, raised pigs and sheep in the base areas, and tried their best to achieve self-sufficiency and not cause trouble to the people. Furthermore, self-sufficiency was also very important in a long-term battle.
Jiang Ting listened intently: "Brother Zhang, do the troops still raise pigs and chickens, cattle and sheep?"
"Yes, we have everything that farmers here can grow and raise."
Perhaps Jiang Ting felt that Zhang Jianjun was too approachable, or perhaps she herself had a filter for soldiers. As she chatted with Zhang Jianjun, she became less restrained and started joking with him.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever raised pigs?"
"I, I've never raised one, but that time someone asked me to help catch the pigs, and I got kicked several times by that big boar."
"Hahahahahaha." Jiang Ting covered her mouth after laughing a few times, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I didn't mean to laugh. I, I really think it's funny." She didn't dare to laugh so loudly anymore, but she still laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
"It's okay, I'm not ashamed, otherwise I wouldn't say it."
