Shen Jianjun?
When Shen Qingmiao heard the name, the first thing he thought of was his second brother. Besides, it seemed like the only person in Xiaohe Village named Shen Jianjun was his second brother. Gu Jingyuan wasn't looking for him, was he?
How did they meet?
Then Shen Qingmiao had a guess.
To confirm, Shen Qingmiao asked tentatively, "What do you want to see Shen Jianjun for?"
From Shen Qingmiao's expression and words, the perceptive Gu Jingyuan seemed to have noticed something.
"Shen Jianjun is my comrade-in-arms. I came here to visit him." Gu Jingyuan did not hide his purpose and directly stated it.
This was the second thing he did when he came to Xiaohe Village.
As expected, it was exactly as she had imagined. Shen Qingmiao was surprised by this amazing coincidence or fate. Even the script wouldn't dare to write it like this.
"I know Shen Jianjun and can take you to his house." Shen Qingmiao did not directly state his relationship with Shen Jianjun.
Old Master Xue, who was listening to the conversation between Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan, murmured, "So you are not here just to see me. If you have something to do, go and do it. I, an old man, don't need you here. Go quickly and don't stay here." It would be bad to leave early, otherwise it would be bad to be seen.
Grandpa Xue has already received his grandson's kindness. As an elder, he doesn't want to implicate the younger generation.
Old Master Xue made a gesture to chase them away, pretending to be disgusted, as if he thought they had stayed there for too long.
How could the sharp and intelligent Gu Jingyuan not guess what Mr. Xue was thinking?
Gu Jingyuan smiled and said, "We just finished eating, and you're already chasing people away. You should take a break, too."
Mr. Xue didn't say anything, as if he agreed with Gu Jingyuan's words. For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in silence.
After eating and resting for a while, Gu Jingyuan and Shen Qingmiao left the cowshed.
Not far from the cowshed, Gu Jingyuan called Shen Qingmiao. Before Shen Qingmiao could ask, Gu Jingyuan took out some money from his pocket and put it in Shen Qingmiao's hand.
"Can you help take care of my grandpa in the future?" Gu Jingyuan realized that his words were a bit abrupt, and immediately said, "I mean, if conditions permit, I would like to ask you to help me take care of my grandpa a little. The old man is old, and I am afraid that something might happen to him. Of course, I just need you to bring them some food occasionally. Take this money first, and call me if it is not enough."
Gu Jingyuan had always been concerned about Mr. Xue's health. He knew the living conditions here without Mr. Xue telling him. Although Mr. Xue only reported good news and not bad news every time he came, Gu Jingyuan could still see many problems from Mr. Xue's health.
Gu Jingyuan came here to serve in the army because he wanted to take better care of his grandfather.
She asked Shen Qingmiao for help because she saw Shen Qingmiao's kindness. A girl who would help an elderly stranger couldn't be a bad person. There was another reason, and Gu Jingyuan knew it in his heart.
Shen Qingmiao looked at Gu Jingyuan's pleading eyes and finally nodded in agreement. "I may not be able to help you much, but if I have the chance, I will help you send food over."
Shen Qingmiao readily accepted the money that Gu Jingyuan handed over. Since she agreed, she had to take the money.
It would be a good thing for both parties if she accepted the money.
"Qingmiao, thank you so much!" Gu Jingyuan's expression was slightly moved, and he said gratefully, "If you need any help in the future, just tell me directly."
"If you have any questions, you can also call me directly. I believe you should know my phone number. If you encounter any problems in the county, you can go to the home of Sister Shufen, whom I took you to last time. Her husband Zhou Zhen is my comrade-in-arms, and I will greet him."
Shen Qingmiao agreed to help him, so he naturally had to ensure the girl's safety. If anything happened, he would have a chance to help.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite." Shen Qingmiao said straightforwardly.
If something really happened, she might have a chance to escape thanks to Gu Jingyuan's connections.
More friends mean more paths, and she won't refuse that.
Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan were walking in the village. When a villager saw them, he asked, "Qingmiao girl, who is this young man?"
As he spoke, the villager's eyes were still wandering around Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan.
I'm afraid I misunderstood something.
Shen Qingmiao saw what she was thinking and said directly: "This is my brother's comrade-in-arms. He came to visit my brother."
You have to say it directly and clearly, otherwise who knows what the outcome will be.
The lady looked disappointed. It seemed that the gossip she had finally obtained was gone.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. You can go back quickly." Before leaving, the old lady glanced at Gu Jingyuan. He was a nice young man. I don't know whether he was married or not.
If I have time, I can go to the Shen family to find out some information.
Seeing Gu Jingyuan's outstanding appearance, the old lady's heart of a matchmaker began to stir.
After the old lady left, Shen Qingmiao led Gu Jingyuan and continued walking towards their home.
"Don't mind it, that lady is just curious." Shen Qingmiao advised.
Xiaohe Village doesn't have much going on these days, so the villagers love gossiping about the love lives of their families. And, it seems, this hobby exists everywhere.
"It's okay, I know."
Gu Jingyuan was very familiar with this kind of gaze. When he was in his neighborhood, he would encounter it every time he went out, especially when he was walking with a girl. All kinds of messy speculations came pouring in like snowflakes.
Gu Jingyuan had long ago developed a mentality as calm as a mountain.
Walking along, they soon arrived in front of the Shen family's courtyard. Shen Qingmiao opened the door and walked in. It happened that Shen Jianjun was chopping firewood at home.
When he heard the noise, Shen Jianjun stopped and turned back, "Qingmiao, are you back?"
Shen Jianjun was not wrong. He saw Shen Qingmiao at a glance, and also saw the man next to Shen Qingmiao.
Battalion Commander, why is he here?
At this moment, Shen Jianjun suspected that he was dazzled and had seen it wrong.
A second later, Shen Jianjun was immediately overwhelmed by surprise.
"Battalion Commander, why are you here?" Shen Jianjun saluted Gu Jingyuan and said excitedly.
Gu Jingyuan was very happy to see Shen Jianjun. "I came here for something. I heard your family is here, so I came to see you."
"Come, come, Captain, please come in and sit down. I'll get you some water." Shen Jianjun pulled Gu Jingyuan into the hall and said as they walked.
This was the first time Shen Qingmiao saw his second brother so excited. It seemed that his second brother and Gu Jingyuan had a very good relationship.
