She simply rolled her eyes at him; couldn't she see through his sarcasm?
"What, do you want to see me hunt wild boars, or do you want to see Little Grey?"
Huh? Didn't they go looking for you? Why didn't they come back with you?
"Did you leave me here to eat meat?"
Cheng Chao laughed in anger.
"You really have a sharp tongue."
Let me introduce you. This gentleman is indeed from the other side of the mountain; he's the newly transferred political commissar of the border regiment, Qin Qinghuai, the youngest and most promising talent in the Beijing Military Region.
Were they transferred from Beijing?
Jian Dan gave Cheng Chao a strange look. Was this guy's enthusiasm just an act?
At such a sensitive time, how could Cheng Chao not understand Simple's thoughts? She was single-mindedly donating this huge treasure, and she only wanted to build a world for herself. She never had a good impression of outsiders, especially those in the scheming capital.
Qin Qinghuai gently rubbed his swollen cheeks, noticing the other person's gaze lingering on him, and his whole body involuntarily tensed up.
He grew up in the military compound in Beijing and was practically a childhood friend of Cheng Chao. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he considered himself to know Cheng Chao fairly well.
Especially considering that even though they have been far apart for so many years, the two of them have never lost contact.
They've known each other for almost thirty years, and he's never seen or heard of the young master of the Cheng family being so kind and gentle to any woman. His words were full of doting affection. Did he really think he couldn't tell?
However, looking at the flamboyant and radiant woman in front of him, he himself was somewhat afraid to look directly at her. A nameless yet restless feeling and thought stirred within him, which he forcefully suppressed.
Jian Dan's eyes darted around, clearly she was plotting something. Cheng Chao sighed, reached out and tapped her head, interrupting her wild thoughts.
"Stop, it's not what you think. He wasn't forced into this position by his superiors."
"Yeah?"
Jian Dan remained noncommittal, but seeing the marks on the other person's face and the way they were grimacing and rubbing their face and arms, she felt a little guilty; she had tied them up a bit too tightly earlier.
"Well, you can't blame me. He knew something was going on in the mountains, yet he still sneaked around there. How could I not overthink it?"
"It's not just me; I refuse to believe that if you were here, and saw a suspicious person, you could just stand by and do nothing, letting them move around freely."
No one can refute this. In this era, even an ordinary person is full of passion. If they really had such an opportunity, they would definitely rush to take it.
Not to mention that they are all citizens of the country, and therefore have an even greater responsibility.
Having regained the upper hand in terms of momentum, he simply hummed softly and turned around.
"You guys came back by yourselves? Where are Jixiang and the others?"
The two children immediately abandoned Cheng Chao, turned around and followed, chattering away.
"Sis, they ran away halfway back. It seems they went straight up the mountain via a small path. I called them but they wouldn't listen. Didn't you say you'd give them food?"
"fine,"
It's simple and clear: with Little Grey around, it's right not to go into crowds.
"It's alright, then don't worry about it. We'll deal with them when they come."
"Sis, where's Mom? Hasn't she come down the mountain yet? I'll go get her."
"Huh?"
Simply grab the child, "Over here, over here, the village is distributing meat, hurry up and go get it."
Cheng Chao watched his younger siblings playfully bickering with a smile, while Qin Qinghuai beside him was so engrossed in the spectacle that he completely missed what was happening, grinning and sighing.
"They get along so well, there won't be any conflicts at home in the future, you can relax a lot."
"But all these years, I never realized you had this kind of taste?"
Cheng Chao was completely baffled. What was this? It was so weird.
But I didn't think about it too much. Looking at his face, which was starting to turn bluish-purple, I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I was too embarrassed, so I covered my mouth and coughed a few times.
"Alright, come here quickly, let me apply the medicine for you first."
"Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle."
No, you mean, how come this petite girl is so violent?
Ouch! Be gentle, don't take this opportunity to get revenge!
"No, Lao Cheng, how can you stand it? Don't you two ever fight over something so trivial?"
Cheng Chao kept moving his hands, but he still felt that something was not quite right.
"Are you out of your mind? Why do you always resort to violence against nice people?"
And speaking of me, the older brother…
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Rui's chattering voice could be heard.
"Xiao An, come and open the door quickly. Mom, how about we let you try our cooking in a bit? We can also make this stewed meat. My sister has all the seasonings, and it smells amazing when it's made."
My sister happens to like pork ribs and pig's trotters.
Then came Tang Sumei's voice.
“With me here, why would you kids need to do this work? If you can’t stay idle, help me with the fire and lend a hand,”
"Mom, let me help you pick and wash the vegetables,"
As they were talking, Cheng Rui carried the basin into the yard. Seeing Cheng Chao, he became even more smug.
"Big brother, big brother, look, this is the wild boar that my sister hunted. The village gave my sister so much meat."
Cheng Chao got up and went to greet him.
"Second Aunt, you're back?"
"Xiao Chao, it really is you? And who is this?"
Tang Sumei smiled broadly.
Cheng Chao also made way for the people behind him.
"Second Aunt, this Qin Qinghuai is the newly appointed political commissar of the border army. He arrived after you left, so you haven't met him."
Qin Qinghuai quickly stepped forward; he had never actually seen Aunt Cheng before.
