"Don't you think I'm righteous?" Zhang Hechen passed the exam. "Could it be that the leader is attracted by my ability to brag?"
Xu Danhua kicked him and said, "Be serious. We're almost home. Stop talking nonsense."
"I'm asking the question very seriously." Zhang Hechen said seriously, but he didn't avoid the kick. He kicked the quilt, but it didn't hurt.
The two passed by a big tree, under which sat a few old men and women, playing chess and chatting.
Xu Danhua stood at attention and greeted the elderly men and women one by one. Zhang Hechen also stood aside with a smile. The elderly men and women looked at Xu Danhua and Zhang Hechen with puzzled expressions.
"Whose family are you guys from?"
Xu Danhua explained with a smile: "I'm from the Xu family, Danhua!"
"Danhua... Oh, you're the girl from the Xu family!" The old man in the front laughed, "I haven't seen you in years. I almost forgot. I have a bad memory!"
After saying this, everyone finally reacted.
"You're really a girl from the Xu family. Where have you been these past few years, Dandan? Why haven't you come back?"
"The guy next to him is so handsome and energetic. Who is he from?"
This time it was Zhang Hechen's turn to appear. However, as the introductions suggested, these people were the Xu family's old neighbors, so he had to make his presence known. "Grandma, I'm Xu Danhua's girlfriend. My name is Zhang Hechen. I'm from the south, not here."
"Oh, it's a boyfriend. Miss Xu has a boyfriend!" The person opposite laughed.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhang Hechen.
Xu Danhua glanced at Zhang Hechen and nodded. "I went to the western border area to serve in the army. I will be back as soon as I have a long vacation this time!"
"West?" The old man opposite showed a look of surprise.
A group of old men and women also showed surprised expressions. Isn’t the West the place where they just made such a fuss?
The old man looked at the two children with an expression full of admiration: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and take a look! Old Xu will be very happy when he finds out. With such a capable granddaughter, he will probably have to hold his head high when he goes out in the future!"
"Isn't that a rooster walking with its head held high?" the old lady next to her laughed.
"Isn't it just a rooster?" The old man nodded.
Xu Danhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said hello to a few old neighbors and hurried back home. Although she felt more homesick, she couldn't wait to go back and see her grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters.
But before they had taken a few steps, they met an old acquaintance and were stopped.
"Danhua?"
The two looked up and saw a young man standing not far ahead pushing a bicycle.
The young man was wearing a brand new suit, with a briefcase hanging from the front of the car. He looked energetic, but there was a rip at the neck of his shirt, giving him a somewhat ruffian look. However, the young man was very handsome, and even with this ruffian look, he had a unique yet harmonious handsomeness.
At this time, the young man stared at Xu Danhua, his peach blossom eyes wide open, full of shock, and surprise gradually appeared in the shock.
"Dandan, it's really you!"
As the young man spoke, he threw away the car in his hand and ran over to stand in front of Xu Danhua, his eyes fixed on Xu Danhua, as if he was afraid that he would disappear if he looked away for a moment.
Xu Danhua felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Hechen next to him spoke first.
"Who is this, Dandan?"
