Xu Qiang couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at Jian Dan.
"sister in law?"
Seeing that his child was indeed exhausted and there was no advantage in continuing, Jian Dan nodded slightly, and immediately, a group of grown men rushed out with a roar.
She casually tossed out the few remaining pebbles in her hand and went forward to greet her two warriors.
"How are you? Can you still hold on?"
Two boys leaned against a tree, grinning broadly, their trembling hands hidden behind their backs.
"Sis, are you alright? Are we okay?"
"Not just okay, you guys are really good! You're real men now, very capable, exceptionally good!"
The two children leaned back and grinned foolishly.
Seeing Xu Qiang and his men surround the two wild boars, their fighting spirit was ignited. The two wild boars, already bearing numerous wounds, were no longer as careless as before. With renewed vigor and concerted effort, they quickly overwhelmed the two wild boars, rendering them powerless to fight back.
Soon, cheers erupted again.
"Platoon leader, he's dead!"
Xu Qiang was annoyed.
"You're the ones who killed him! Talk properly!"
Looking back at Cheng Rui and the other two, their eyes were full of admiration.
"Sister-in-law, you know what? Those two young brothers are brave, resourceful, and calm in the face of adversity. They really are something else,"
Without hesitation, they gave a thumbs up, and the soldiers who had just come off the battlefield followed suit. Regardless of what they had said or thought before, they were all truly convinced at this moment.
"Sister-in-law, these two young men are amazing. No wonder you trust them so much. Their skill, courage, and boldness in fighting wild boars are far superior to ours. We are indeed not as good as you."
Jian Dan didn't say anything, but looked at her two younger brothers and told them to deal with it themselves.
The two little brothers trembled as they leaned against the big tree to their feet. Cheng An smiled.
"Platoon Leader Xu, uncles and elder brothers, you flatter us too much. We've only studied for a few years, and our experience is incomparable to yours, which has been gained through so many years of hard work and struggle."
We're just younger, and while you were working hard guarding the border, we spent a few years running around in the mountains, so we're more familiar with the mountains than you are. Compared to your hard work, it's just a shortcut.
Ultimately, our indulgence is under your protection, and there is nothing to praise or be proud of.
Moreover, we still have a lot to learn.
Cheng Rui immediately grinned and accepted it.
"Yeah, my mom said I'm all brawn and no brains, and that I should work on my brains, otherwise I'll be taken advantage of and still be helping others count the money. I finally have the opportunity to go to school, so I have to study hard. Otherwise, if I wait two years until I'm old enough and Xiao An passes me, and then I'm rejected, that would be so embarrassing."
Cheng An gives the impression of a quiet scholar, and when these roughnecks approach him, they are actually quite reserved, and there is a noticeable distance between them.
But Cheng Rui is different. Cheng Rui has a cheerful and easygoing personality, which makes him much more approachable. In the days since he came here, he can chat with anyone and naturally makes people feel close to him. He can make people laugh after just a few words.
Jian Dan watched silently without interrupting. The children were growing up. As Cheng Zhuo's son, Cheng Jia and Cheng Jin's nephew, Cheng Chao's younger brother, and Qin Qinghuai's brother-in-law, they also needed to have their own social lives. On this point, they all agreed.
The two children will most likely remain within the military system in the future, so some things can be considered in advance. For example, they need to be guided and educated in practical skills and knowledge. Their social circles, their future partners and comrades-in-arms, can also be cultivated now. They need to be reliable, trustworthy and trustworthy people. Their potential is not just a figure of speech.
Actually, it's not just Cheng Rui and Cheng An; Qin Jing and the others are also descendants of this circle. Logically speaking, they should follow the same path. I had a brief chat with Qin Qinghuai before. The younger ones aren't in a hurry, but Qin Jing, who is the one I should worry about the most, has always been raised by Fang He. Compared to other second and third-generation military families, his upbringing is definitely not as good.
If he were to follow this path in the future, he would naturally be at the forefront of the starting line compared to ordinary people. Given his circumstances, it would have been somewhat of a waste before.
However, overall, this route should be the smoothest.
Qin Qinghuai planned to ask the old man and the old woman for their opinions. These children were unlikely to change in the short term, so there were some things he needed to consider.
These are the issues the couple has been discussing a lot lately.
The two brothers, Cheng Rui and Cheng Rui, don't really need their parents to worry about them. After all, their parents are still alive. At most, the parents can take care of them occasionally and provide them with food and clothing.
However, the Qin family's children are different. Their parents are not around, and the old man and woman are the ones who take care of them. But after all, they are getting old, and to put it bluntly, they don't know how much longer they can take care of the children. So, Qin Qinghuai and his family cannot shirk their responsibilities for these important matters.
Thanks to these wild boars, the atmosphere among the people returned to harmony, even becoming more intimate and natural than before, which relieved Xu Qiang.
Five wild boars, plus a bunch of pheasants and rabbits, made for a pretty good haul, and the way back was filled with laughter and joy.
After walking and resting intermittently, they returned to the foot of the mountain close to the end of the workday. After putting their things down and resting for a while, they stretched their arms and legs and lifted the wild boar again. Seeing that everyone was a bit tired, Xu Qiang encouraged them.
"Would you like to eat meat?"
