The villagers began to shout:
"Doctor Xu, this is not a good thing to do. Just treat her as a fart and forget about it."
Xu Niannian smiled:
"I tend to hold grudges, so if I treat a person like this, I'm afraid I'll dirty my hands."
This sentence is a bit harsh, but no one would feel good about this kind of thing. The villagers mostly asked Aunt Wang to apologize to Xu Zhiqing.
Aunt Wang was overwhelmed by the overwhelming scolding and felt her temples throbbing.
Lu Huaijin rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. He glanced at Aunt Wang and said without a trace of warmth:
"If you just accused a girl for no reason, you should know that if such unfounded rumors were spread, it might even kill an innocent girl."
In this era, there are many people who have proved their innocence through death.
Then he continued:
"Since this woman has been insulting soldiers and their wives, I'd be sorry for all the trouble if I didn't go to the police station."
As he spoke, he got a rope from somewhere and tied the man up.
Seeing that this burly young man was about to get serious, Aunt Wang suddenly felt that he looked like a soldier.
The ruthlessness in his eyes didn't seem fake. He started crying and shouting for his mother, and the people around him suddenly became quiet.
Aunt Wang saw that crying was of no use to him. He took a few steps towards her and tied himself up with a rope skillfully.
The speed was faster than she usually tied corn, and she was completely frightened and collapsed to the ground.
After Lu Huaijin tied up the people, he said to the people from the village head's house:
"Let's eat first, and then send the person over after dinner."
Xu Niannian spent a lot of time preparing this meal, and it couldn't be wasted because of insignificant people.
The people outside wanted to persuade the educated youth Xiao Xu not to leave, as the autumn harvest was coming up. However, seeing that they had already started eating, they did not want to continue persuading him.
In the final analysis, they were easily influenced. When Aunt Wang was gossiping, she didn't stand up and say a few words to help.
It is understandable that people are disappointed and want to leave.
Just thinking about the fact that I once ate other people’s pork makes me feel even more guilty.
No one noticed that someone was looking at Xu Niannian with a complicated and jealous look.
Flashing with the ambition to replace it.
Aunt Song and the others brought out all the food from the stove.
There was a table full of food, including two main dishes. There should have been a harmonious atmosphere, but it was ruined by the previous commotion.
Xu Niannian grabbed two meat buns and stuffed them into Lu Huaijin's pockets, then said to the others:
"Start eating, why are you just standing there?"
Aunt Song also came out to smooth things over and said:
"That's right, Captain Lu is so lucky to marry Nian Nian. Her cooking skills are really good."
"That's not bad, that's very good."
Lu Huaijin pinched the soft bun in his hand. He felt that it smelled very delicious when he was cooking just now.
It smells even more fragrant when I hold it in my hand. When I take a bite, the softness of the vermicelli mixes with the aroma of the meat. I feel satisfied and happy after taking a bite.
Even the dough is soaked in gravy, making you want to swallow it in one gulp.
Looking at the girl opposite who was eating leisurely, holding the round bun in her hand, she seemed to be softer.
It was also the first time that the Song family ate the meat buns made by Xu Niannian, and they even forgot about the main dishes on the table.
After eating two bites, someone suddenly remembered and quickly went to pick up the main dish on the table.
Now he had a bite in his mouth and chopsticks in his hands and couldn't stop.
Song Laosan secretly looked at Lu Huaijin.
I originally thought that it was just about his job and his good family background, but I didn't expect that he would be so handsome.
As a man, he had to admit that he was indeed not as good as her.
He munched on the bun in his mouth.
He can't compare to her, not even a hair's breadth of strength.
Lu Huaijin felt that the man was looking at him carefully, but he didn't take it to heart because it wasn't for women to see.
The strong aroma of the family's meal made Aunt Wang's mouth water:
"What gives you the right to tie me up? I'm going to sue you. I'm going to sue you."
She was so hungry that it felt like ants were biting her and her stomach felt very uncomfortable.
The village chief glanced at her and went straight to find a rag to cover her mouth:
"If you have this much time, you might as well think about how to apologize to Xu Zhiqing. Maybe he will forgive you."
It’s strange to say, no one from Aunt Wang’s family came to their house to look for someone.
He returned to the table and said to Lu Huaijin:
"Captain Lu, why don't you stay here tonight? It's just that the room is a little small."
Lu Huaijin glanced at Xu Niannian:
"Forget it. I'm going to the county town to drop him off at the police station. I'll just stay at the guesthouse then."
After dinner, everyone took the initiative to wash the dishes and clear the table, leaving time for the young couple.
Xu Niannian brought people into his own cabin.
Lu Huaijin followed her into the house but did not close the door:
"Would you feel uncomfortable staying here? Why don't you follow me back to the army? Rent a house nearby. I'll take care of the registration certificate. The political review will take another month to complete the process."
Just find her a job near the military base.
What he didn't say was that she encountered some obstacles because of her background.
Xu Niannian shook her head. She felt so tired in the past half month since she came to this world. She had to study and suffer since she came here, and she had not yet decided what kind of job she would do.
In order to go back early, I have to find a job, which must cost the other party a lot of favors, and I feel like I owe him/her all the time.
Originally, she didn’t think her room was too small, but after Lu Huaijin came, she always felt that it was a bit cramped for the two of them to stay in this room.
"Are you leaving by train tomorrow morning? Let me get something ready for you."
As he said this, he went to the kitchen. There were still a dozen or so buns left from the 50 he had made in the evening. He covered them with brown paper and stuffed five of them into a clean cloth bag.
I put the puff pastry I had just made in there. There was only a layer of spiced filling in the pastry, so it wouldn't go bad even if I ate it tomorrow.
Just now when they were eating, she secretly counted and found that Lu Huaijin ate 10 buns in one meal.
His belly was still big enough to hold all the pastries.
It would be good to eat with meat sauce on the train.
After she finished packing, she turned around and saw the man standing at the door, staring at her as she packed the cakes.
When their eyes met, she blushed:
"Here you go. You can eat some meat buns to fill your stomach when you get hungry later."
Lu Huaijin took the package and accidentally bumped his fingertips against hers. She immediately retracted her white fingers.
The package in his hand felt heavy. The cake was not yet cold, and the heat was transferred to his skin through the cloth.
Only then did he feel that he was really going to get married.
His voice was a little low:
"Thank you."
No wonder she made the pastries but didn’t take them out, it turns out she prepared them for herself.
His heart felt like being gently scratched.
