Zhang Jianjun wanted to talk to Xu Nuannuan more, so he asked her, "Nuannuan, where do you think Xingyao's younger sister is? Xingyao must be very anxious to see her younger sister."
"Actually, I..." Guan Xingyao started chatting with Xu Nuannuan, seemingly forgetting to look for Lin Ruyan. He wanted to chat for a while, but her brother's girlfriend was here, so he couldn't be so clingy with her. So he followed Zhang Jianjun's lead and said, "Yeah, Xu Zhiqing, where is she?"
"Over there." Xu Nuannuan pointed in a direction. "But first, I need to tell you something. Although I have a very close relationship with Grandma Guan, and I even consider her my own grandmother, there have been some minor frictions between me and Lin Zhiqing, and our relationship isn't that close. If you mind, just pretend we didn't say anything."
Guan Xingyao's expression froze for a moment.
He had just met Xu Nuannuan, but Xu Nuannuan gave him the feeling of being genuine and sensible, otherwise why would his grandmother like her so much.
What kind of friction did Xu Nuannuan and Lin Ruyan have, and why did it arise?
He didn't feel comfortable asking them questions right now, so he said, "I'm not that confused. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on Ruyan over there."
"Tuo."
He turned around and went to look for Lin Ruyan in the direction Xu Nuannuan pointed. He saw Lin Ruyan not far away.
Over here, Zhang Jianjun had already greeted the distinguished guest of the Jiang family. Mei Xiangcao quickly ran up to him and asked him all sorts of questions: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Are you hungry? Come home with me and I'll make you something to eat."
"Auntie, I'm not hungry or thirsty, thank you."
Xu Nuannuan introduced him to Mei Xiangcao, Jiang Yang and Jiang Ting.
"They are my future mother-in-law, my brother-in-law Jiang Yang and my sister-in-law Jiang Ting."
"Auntie, brother Jiang Yang, sister Jiang Ting."
Seeing that he was indeed strong, and had a simple and polite demeanor, Jiang Ting asked him, "What kind of boxing skills do you know?"
"Ah?" Zhang Jianjun was stunned for a moment. Xu Nuannuan said, "Brother Jianjun, don't blame me for acting without consulting you. Tingting likes to learn Kung Fu. I told her the day before yesterday that you were coming. I wanted you to teach her Military Boxing."
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's no problem at all. Military boxing includes many movements, and it can't be simply classified as boxing. When we get home, I can demonstrate a set for you."
"Hey." Jiang Ting looked at Zhang Jianjun in his green military uniform, with admiration in her eyes.
Just now, the Jiang family and Xu Nuannuan were digging the worms. Basically, they worked in pairs, with Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan in one group. They used shovels to dig up the worms, while Xu Nuannuan pulled the worms out and shook off the dirt around them.
Zhang Jianjun rolled up his sleeves and decided to join in.
Mei Xiangcao quickly stopped her: "You are a guest, we can't let you work."
"Auntie, what's the difference between a guest and a guest? Nuannuan and I are family, so please don't be polite to me."
"Brother Jianjun, you just arrived, you should take a rest." Xu Nuannuan also said.
"No, no, it's just a short distance, it's much easier than our usual training."
Xu Nuannuan knew that he was a down-to-earth person, and if she was too polite to him, he would feel uncomfortable.
She worked in a group with Jiang Ye, Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Yang. Jiang Ting had been working alone before, so she could form a two-person team with Zhang Jianjun.
But he was worried that Zhang Jianjun and Jiang Ting were unfamiliar with each other and would feel uncomfortable working together. He wanted to suggest that Jiang Ye and Jiang Ting work together, and she be in a group with Zhang Jianjun. But before he could open his mouth, Zhang Jianjun went to Jiang Ting's side and said, "Little sister, do you mind if I join you?"
"No, I don't mind." Jiang Ting said, "I'll dig it out, you just pull it out."
"Hahahaha." Zhang Jianjun laughed. "I'm a grown man, how can I let you, a little girl, do the hard work while I take it easy?"
"Because you are a guest, you can't let guests do work."
Zhang Jianjun took the shovel directly from her hand: "Don't treat me as a guest, just treat me as one of your own."
He did farm work in a very professional manner, and his movements in digging holes seemed to be no different from those of the farmers here.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever farmed before? I see you're quite skilled at this kind of work."
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "I didn't do it when I was at home, but later I joined the army and did it there."
"There's farming in the army? I always thought soldiers were just about training all the time and didn't do anything else."
"No, we are self-sufficient in most of the food and vegetables we eat. We grow crops when we're not training. Being able to feed ourselves without external supplies is an essential skill for soldiers in combat.
Back then, our older generation of revolutionaries cultivated land, raised pigs and sheep in the base areas, and tried their best to achieve self-sufficiency and not cause trouble to the people. Moreover, self-sufficiency was extremely important during the long-term battles.
Jiang Ting listened intently, "Brother Zhang, do the troops still raise pigs and chickens, cattle and sheep?"
"Yes, the farmers here can grow and raise rice, and we have it all over there."
Perhaps Jiang Ting felt that Zhang Jianjun was too approachable, or perhaps she herself had a filter for soldiers. As she chatted with Zhang Jianjun, she became less restrained and started joking with him.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever raised pigs?"
"I, I've never raised one, but I was asked to help catch pigs that time, and I got kicked a few times by that big boar."
"Hahahahaha." Jiang Ting laughed a few times and covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I didn't mean to laugh. I, I really think it's funny." She didn't dare to laugh so loudly anymore, but she still laughed until her stomach hurt.
