Don't tell me you two knew each other back in the capital!
"No, it was more of a coincidence,"
It was simple but not explained in detail.
"At my age, I'm of marriageable age. I'll feel at ease once I'm married, and it will save me from future troubles."
Besides, don't you think he's good-looking?
This sudden burst of excitement made Sheng Zhiyuan widen his eyes in disbelief; he simply couldn't bear to look.
"You're spineless!"
When did you become someone who judges people by their looks?
"Just tell me if he looks good or not."
"He's handsome, brother-in-law is handsome, just as handsome as my sister."
"Hey!"
The little cotton-padded jacket is letting in the wind.
Do you even know what "good-looking" means?
The little girl spoke with conviction.
"Gentle and refined, handsome and elegant, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes..."
"Stop it,"
Hearing his daughter-in-law use the words he had taught her to praise another man, Sheng Zhiyuan was somewhat speechless.
Do you think your judgment is better than your father's?
The little girl shook her head.
"It's not that I think it is, it is. My sister and I are girls, so of course our taste is better than yours."
"But you've been questioning us the whole time. Do you think my sister has bad taste?"
That statement is a bit too broad in its scope.
Sheng Zhiyuan coughed twice.
"I didn't say that, I was just asking, just asking."
"You young girls, all you know is how to judge a book by its cover. What good is a pretty face? Can it feed you or feed you?"
Jian Dan was absolutely amused by this hilarious father and daughter.
"I can eat two more bowls of rice!"
"that is!"
Unable to win the argument, Sheng Zhiyuan simply stood up.
"I'll go check if they're done over there. It'll be hard to walk after dark."
Simple and the little girl were giggling behind her. Xiao An didn't know what they were laughing about, so she didn't say anything, but her eyes and brows were also full of smiles.
The soldiers were busy as bees, and the once empty warehouse was soon filled to the brim. When Sheng Zhiyuan came over again, the soldiers he met greeted him warmly, and they all smiled broadly.
The family members who had received the news also came to help. No matter how little they could do, they were happy to lend a hand, and their eyes were filled with fervor as they looked at Sheng Zhiyuan and Qin Qinghuai.
Especially for the older women, they became more and more pleasing to the eye. However, no one thought of matchmaking, since the woman's daughter was so old and clearly already had a family.
However, this enthusiasm did not diminish at all, and the praise was endless, with no two words being the same. Even Sheng Zhiyuan, who considered himself to be very tactful, was somewhat overwhelmed by this.
After unloading the truck and loading some more things, when Jian Dan came out to see them off, Sheng Zhiyuan's face was blank, and he looked somewhat impatient. Jian Dan looked at the sky with some confusion.
"It's still early. Do you have something urgent to do?"
This gave Jian Dan the feeling that she had to leave immediately, otherwise she would miss something important, which made her quite nervous.
"Has something happened?"
Sheng Zhiyuan remained silent with a dark expression, while Qin Qinghuai leaned over and whispered an explanation. Jian Dan's eyes widened instantly.
"You're quite something, aren't you? You're popular with so many aunties and grandmas."
"Hey, you're such a great young man, doesn't anyone want to introduce you to someone?"
It's easy to see the true nature of these women. They're not bad, but they are certainly enthusiastic, love gossip, and introducing potential partners is a form of recognition.
Qin Qinghuai suppressed a laugh.
"Yes, but no one dares to say it. With Xin Xin around, they all probably think..."
"ah,"
I understood briefly; he had a child with him, so I assumed he had a family.
"Hey, you know what, those aunties and grandmas are actually pretty genuine, huh?"
Sheng Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.
"So I should thank them for being kind with their words?"
"No need for that. You should thank your daughter; she saved you."
......
After the convoy left, the grain was quickly distributed to everyone according to the rules. Jian Dan's place was bustling for a few days. The news spread like wildfire, and now everyone knew that the grain was sent by Jian Dan's family, but she immediately donated it to the army.
For a time, Jian Dan became a celebrity in the family compound. Wang's wife, whom he knew well, and other family members who he didn't know very well would come over to visit from time to time.
For the first few days, it was novel and simple, and she could handle it. But after a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore.
On a cold day like this, sitting in a warm house, roasting potato slices, sweet potatoes, and adding a few chestnuts, oranges, apples, bananas, peaches, mangoes, and mangosteens, wouldn't that be delicious?
But now she dares not do anything. People might come at any time. They are still living on welfare, and she has a bunch of snacks. This is not good.
After a few days of fasting, she finally caught a market day when everyone in the residential compound went to the market, and she finally got some peace and quiet. She was too lazy to cook, so she just boiled a bowl of high-end instant noodles. She had just slurped the first bite when the person who said he wouldn't come back quietly pushed open the door and entered.
For a moment, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long pause, Jian Dan finally reacted, ate the noodles in her mouth, pointed to the large bowl, and mumbled,
Would you like something to eat?
As for an explanation?
What do you mean by "explain"?
I'm not a complete novice. I've already mentioned all the grains, what's the difference?
Qin Qinghuai withdrew his surprised gaze, and without any hesitation, immediately unbuttoned his coat and took it off.
"Okay, this smells delicious, it makes my mouth water."
Jian Dan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the chill emanating from him.
"Why don't you eat this bowl first, and I'll go cook you something?"
