Chen Zhenbao regarded Jiang Yun as his future brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
In order to take good care of my younger brother's wife and the baby in her belly, I was extremely nervous as if facing a great enemy - what if I really had to hide for a year and the baby was born?
We also have to find a way to keep Chen Yuanwu's secret from his comrades.
When no one was around, he warned Jiang Jun, "This kind of thing has to stop with me. Don't let any more of it out! Otherwise, Chen Yuanwu's future will be ruined!"
Jiang Jun was both touched and embarrassed. As a single person who had never had a boyfriend in two lifetimes, seeing a lot didn't mean she could accept it. What's more, her parents in the original time and space were devout religious believers. She couldn't say a word about this kind of thing even if she was beaten to death!
"Captain Chen, I won't tell Chen Yuefei even if I see him!" Jiang Jun had a headache. After telling one lie, he had to tell a hundred more lies to cover up the first lie. He felt so tired.
Chen Zhenbao was only one year older than Chen Yuanwu and a proud bachelor, so he was naturally embarrassed to bring up the topic. "I'll send you to the border defense company first. We'll leave after we find someone."
It was not against the rules for the Equipment Department's convoy to take Jiang Yun with them. On the prairie or in more desolate places, after they completed their mission or when the car was empty, they would occasionally let fellow villagers who needed help take a ride.
Chen Zhenbao was the team leader of the escort vehicle for this mission. He arranged for Jiang Jun to sit in the escort vehicle, and the other soldiers naturally had no objections.
There were four armed soldiers in the carriage, and because there was an extra female soldier in the carriage, they were obviously a little restrained.
In order to pretend to be pregnant, Jiang Yun didn't even dare to stretch her arms and legs. In fact, she didn't know what a pregnant woman would look like or how she would react, but seeing Chen Zhenbao's cautious look, she had to be cautious too.
After the convoy left the capital, it traveled for three days. The scenery on the road became increasingly bleak, and the temperature became increasingly lower.
Jiang Yun's clothes were obviously too thin, so she had to put on her cotton hat and military coat, to keep warm and to downplay her feminine features.
Chen Zhenbao spent half a day in the cab escorting the truck, and half a day sitting in the back car, talking to Jiang Jun.
Everyone has a gossipy heart, but the reason they don't gossip is simply because the thing or person is not interesting enough.
"Xiao Jiang, you're eating too little!" Chen Zhenbao considered the common characters between Jiang Yun and Hong Jiangyun so that other soldiers wouldn't make the mistake if they followed suit: "Are these cookies not to your liking?"
Jiang Jun shook his head: "The cookies are delicious, but they can only be used as snacks."
It’s not hot food, there’s no soup, and I always feel like I haven’t eaten.
There was only cold water and biscuits, no vegetables or fruits, and no vitamin tablets. If he ate them for two more days, his skin would become rough. Jiang Jun consciously controlled his food intake.
Chen Zhenbao comforted her: "I heard that there are canned meats abroad. I hope we can have some of them someday."
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "By the time we have canned meat and canned fruit, you won't be interested in them anymore."
In an era where commercial value is paramount, almost all canned foods, for the sake of color, aroma, and longevity, and to ensure that they can be preserved for two or three years, will contain varying degrees of pigments, flavors, preservatives, and desiccants. Only lazy people would choose fast food.
Chen Zhenbao made small talk: "I saw in the movies that when foreigners were fighting, they already had canned meat to eat. Foreigners say that eating meat gives you the strength to win the battle."
Jiang Yun corrected him, "Canned meat is never as energetic as eating meat in big mouthfuls."
Mainly, the chemical additives added in the canning process will make the eater's muscles lose vitality.
The soldiers who escorted their convoys were basically selected elites with strong professional qualities. Their nutritional supply was already insufficient, and they could not afford to suffer further losses due to these chemical additives.
Jiang Yun's occupational disease struck again: "Eating canned meat is like you guys doing target practice, and eating meat in big mouthfuls is like you guys chasing prey on the grasslands. That kind of energy is incomparable.
You often go on missions to the grasslands, and you've all heard of Genghis Khan, right? His army marched all the way to Europe! Why was his army so invincible? It's because their ancestors, who had been hunters for generations, were brave and skilled in battle!
When it comes to hunting, these warriors become lively:
"Yes, the prey you hunt with your own hands is different."
"Whenever I see prey, I get really excited!"
Chen Zhenbao asked, "Xiao Jiang, are your shooting scores pretty good too?"
Jiang Jun shook his head and laughed, "I can't even hold a pistol steady. I'm just a nerd."
Chen Zhenbao joked, "You intellectuals just love to be modest. Secretary Chen knows everything, but he's not a nerd, and you certainly aren't either."
Jiang Jun was curious about what Chen Yuanwu looked like to his comrades: "Huh? Really? He knows everything?"
A soldier pointed at Chen Zhenbao and said, "In the equipment department, our captain is first in shooting, and Secretary Chen is second!"
Jiang Jun exclaimed, "So amazing?"
Chen Zhenbao laughed and said, "Secretary Chen comes from a well-off family, so he must have eaten more meat than us since he was a child! My father is a hunter, and that's probably why his shooting skills can't catch up with mine."
Everyone laughed.
Without any restraint, everyone talked freely.
As a result, Chen Yuanwu was still the focus of their conversation.
Jiang Yun wanted to know more about Chen Yuanwu's life, so she asked, "You said he knows everything. What else does he know?"
Chen Zhenbao wanted to praise his good brother: "Secretary Chen is a very good writer. He can write reports and experiences without any hesitation. His articles are often published in the military newspaper!"
The money I earn from writing articles is more than their monthly allowance! It’s good to be educated!
"What kind of articles does he write? Is he a cultural officer?" Jiang Jun thought of the military newspapers full of articles about reason and principles.
A soldier pointed at Chen Zhenbao and joked, "There was a report about the sharpshooter Chen Zhenbao, praising our captain to the point of being incredible. If our captain dares to claim second place, no one else will dare to claim first place."
Jiang Jun laughed, "Captain Chen is definitely worthy of the title!"
Chen Zhenbao nodded: "Yes, yes, it's worthy of the name!"
The soldier then laughed and said, "When Secretary Chen's report came out, we were so jealous! Secretary Chen praised our Captain Chen like a flower, saying he was wise, brave, and never missed his target. And hey, guess what, there were boxes of love letters to our Captain Chen!"
Another soldier chimed in, "That's right. When I'm looking for a date tomorrow, I'll ask Secretary Chen to write a report for me. Those girls will definitely jump at my arms!"
Jiang Yun asked, "Hasn't anyone written to Secretary Chen?"
The two warriors said in unison:
"Why not? There are so many!"
"Two singers from the headquarters' song and dance troupe wrote him a letter with photos in it. They look so beautiful!"
