Chapter 29 The Millennium-Old Iron Tree is About to Bloom



It turned out that Yang Dahua, who said she wanted to cook meat, was reluctant to cook too much. She just used a small knife to cut it into thin slices and gave each person only two slices, no more.

Because of this, Shi Weiqiang started arguing with her again.

Having such a stingy mother is the most unfortunate thing in his life.

It was different in the small house. There were steamed buns made by Tian Yuzhu, boiled meat, and half fried pork liver.

Su Zhen taught me everything step by step!

Seeing that she had learned the recipe well and the dishes she cooked were colorful, fragrant and delicious, making people drool just by looking at them, everyone in the house was delighted.

Who would have thought that the silly girl could actually cook!

After dinner, Shi De and his son Shi Weimin went up the mountain to see if they could catch anything.

Shi Xiaoli couldn't wait to go to the commune. Yang Dahua secretly drank the last bit of broth in the kitchen, went out of the hospital and went to Uncle Tao's house to ask about the herbs.

Shi Weiqiang was seen sleeping soundly in the outer room.

Su Zhen planned to visit a few reliable families in the village now to finalize the exchange.

Tian Yuzhu would not miss this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air. She immediately stood up and pulled Su Zhen's sleeve: "I'm going too."

Hey, this silly girl still wants to be a follower?

But Su Zhen didn't dare to agree. She looked at the old lady for help: "Grandma..."

Lu Huanying thought that going out to meet the villagers was also part of the process of getting the silly girl acclimated, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, let her go with you."

"Then...if the villagers ask me about it, how should I introduce myself?"

"Just say she's Zhentang's daughter-in-law."

“…”

Well, the old lady has admitted the silly girl's identity to the whole village.

Su Zhen couldn't help but feel secretly happy for Tian Yuzhu.

With the old lady and Zhentang's open protection, the silly girl's future will no longer be as hard as before.

She quickly took out her tattered scarf and put it around the silly girl, then taught her to put her fingers into the sleeve of the other person and cover them, and then she took her out the door quietly.

The two little ones followed closely behind them.

Although it is cold in winter, the children cannot stay indoors for a long time. They want to go and play with their friends in the village.

What's more, there was no wind or snow today for the first time. Some villagers couldn't stand the stuffiness anymore and started strolling around the village.

All the aunts and uncles have been stuck in the house for a few days, and they can't stop talking about gossip.

After leaving the courtyard, seeing that there were many people on both sides of the road, Su Zhen quickly and quietly taught Yuzhu: "If someone asks you what your name is, just say your name is Tian Yuzhu. If they ask you who Zhentang is, just say it's your man."

Tian Yuzhu: “…”

She thinks it's impossible, right?

The next moment, he understood Su Zhen's good intentions.

The villagers' gossipy nature and malicious desire to test how stupid she was were all revealed in just a short walk.

"What's your name, girl?"

"Who is Zhentang to you?"

"My name is Tian Yuzhu."

"He's my man."

Tian Yuzhu answered seriously, blinking her clear eyes.

Innocence is written all over his face, he is cheerful and tireless, and he has as many answers as there are questions.

There seemed to be a sense of pride in the crisp responses of "my man" left and right.

The aunts and uncles in the village looked at each other in confusion.

It seems... I'm not so stupid as to know nothing!

Su Zhen then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the villagers would look down on Yuzhu. Now seeing everyone's confused expressions, she felt a little happy inside.

At the same time.

On the snowy mountain, a small group of people were lurking in the snow pile under a huge green pine.

One of the figures couldn't help but sneeze.

He didn't know that someone was thinking of him!

Shi Zhentang adjusted his Lei Feng cap, and his deep black eyes under his long eyelashes stared coldly ahead.

"Why, you have a cold?"

His old comrade and instructor Li Shengli looked incredulous: "Old Shi, I've fought alongside you for so many years, and I've rarely seen you sick!"

Shi Zhentang didn't move his gaze: "How can a sneeze be considered an illness?"

Li Shengli couldn't help but laugh: "Don't tell me it's because someone missed you."

“…”

I don’t know why, but because of this sentence, Shi Zhentang’s mind flashed with those deer-like, helpless eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the other person: "You weren't originally on this mission, are you here to steal the credit?"

"Oh, you're so wronged! The higher-ups suddenly ordered the returning soldiers to cooperate with the local police to capture enemy spies. Isn't that a good time for me to return home?" Li Shengli nudged him with his elbow. "Hey, if we can catch the enemy spies this time, who knows if you can be promoted to full battalion commander when you return..."

"I'm getting married!"

"Uh, huh? What?"

He was originally talking about military matters, but before he could finish his words, he heard a cold sentence, and the amount of information made Li Shengli's brain freeze for a moment.

Then he realized: "What, getting married?"

He nearly fell headfirst into the snow.

Is the thousand-year-old iron tree about to bloom?

Oh my god, this is huge news!

Although Shi Zhentang did not agree to him, his silence as he turned around and looked into the distance was enough to explain everything.

Silence is an admission. He...had heard it right. Shi Ying was really getting married!!!

Li Shengli couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Whose girl is this? When did you choose her? What does she look like? Brother, you're so quick, accurate, and ruthless! You've only been home for a day to visit your family, and you already have a fiancée?"

A series of questions made Shi Zhentang frown: "It was a childhood marriage."

"ah?"

Li Shengli's mouth suddenly opened wide: "What era is it now?..."

No, he discovered another clue before he finished speaking.

No matter whether it is an old custom or not, the key point is that the old comrade in front of him did not show any disgust, and judging from his expression, did he agree?

Otherwise, who can force Captain Shi to do something he doesn't want to do?

So...

Li Shengli came to the most powerful conclusion in his mind: "Then... then I think our future sister-in-law must be very outstanding, otherwise how could she attract a cold-blooded man like you, don't you think?"

Shi Zhentang ignored him: "No more chatting, let's get down to business."

The topic was suddenly cut off, and the curiosity that had just been aroused had to be suppressed.

Li Shengli didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards the battalion commander.

I really can't believe that such an iceberg of a man would suddenly have a passionate flash marriage?

Oh, is this a dream?

If he hadn't suddenly turned around and looked at the man with an icy cold gaze, he would have wanted to pat his head to figure out whether it was reality or a dream.

"Focus on the task. I'll explain it to you in detail once it's completed."

How could Shi Zhentang not understand his little thoughts?

Li Shengli immediately smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, I've been waiting for you to say that, but I have something I absolutely must ask right now. Is my sister-in-law pretty?"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of snow hit his face directly...
