The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

Chapter 325 The Iron Tree Blooms

After getting away from the aircraft carrier, Xiao Hao led his brother and sister to a dark and secluded place.

Zuo Ling took out a box of steaming hot leek and shrimp dumplings and gave it to Xiao Hao: "Eat quickly."

"Ah."

Without bothering to say anything, Xiao Hao stretched out his hand to grab it, but Zuo Ling slapped him away and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hand.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Seeing him eating so quickly and hastily, Pei Nansheng felt very distressed and handed him a bottle of space water. Xiao Hao drank it all in one gulp, patted his chest, and grinned at his brother and sister:

"Home-cooked food is still the best."

Pei Nansheng said unhappily, "You asked for it, who can you blame?"

Xiao Hao just laughed foolishly and didn't say a word.

Zuo Ling took out another box of braised pork rice: "Eat quickly."

Xiao Hao sniffed and said, "It smells so good. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I'm so greedy.

After eating the braised pork rice, I finished another box of braised beef rice, plus two meat buns.

When Zuo Ling wanted to give him more, Xiao Hao waved his hands and said, "That's enough. I can't eat any more. It's almost filling my throat."

After joining the army, he never had a full meal. Although he was also hungry, it was very different from when he was at the Ding family. Everyone was the same, and he didn't feel that he was suffering.

"Chew a piece of gum so no one can smell it."

Pei Nansheng said: "We are going to Shu in a while. I have already told Chief Mei that you will go with us."

"Are we going to go to war with the secluded elder?" Xiao Hao reacted quickly.

My brothers and sisters seldom talk about the Ding family. When they do, two and a half out of three sentences are about the reclusive elder. The reclusive elder is a major concern for my brothers and sisters.

Zuo Ling asked Xiao Hao: "Are you afraid?"

"With my brothers and sisters, I'm not afraid."

At his age, he is too old to be afraid.

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling were not as optimistic as he was. How could the secluded elder be so easy to deal with if he could create such a heaven-defying existence as the island?

Judging from several close combats with the Ding family, the hidden elder is well versed in formations and has the means to make those with special abilities temporarily lose their special abilities, and can even use external objects to enhance their special abilities.

The few things we know about are already enough to give us a headache.

"Commander Mei should have someone teach you how to use the drawing software, the same one Brother Bai and his friends used last time. You should learn it well."

"Ah? Let...let me learn."

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling are not good teachers. Xiao Hao followed them, working three days a week and resting two days a week. He got used to it and was restrained by Professor Jin for a few days. After all, the time was too short and he got a headache when he heard about studying.

Pei Nansheng rolled his eyes at him:

"If it's not you who's learning, then should I learn from your sister? You're the youngest in our family, so of course you should learn."

Zuo Ling chimed in:

"We are two elderly people in our 4s. Is it appropriate for us to learn such high-tech things?"

It’s right, it’s too right, Xiao Hao’s heart was roaring, but he didn’t dare to say it.

"I...I'm afraid I won't be able to learn well and it will delay things."

He looked at his brother and sister pitifully, asking them not to give him such an important task.

Pei Nansheng snorted:

"It's good to delay things. It's just right for the three of us brothers and sisters to die together."

What...what are you talking about! Xiao Hao became even more nervous.

Zuo Ling patted Xiao Hao on the shoulder and said in a motherly tone: "Whether you can come back alive depends on you."

Is it that serious? Xiao Hao was about to cry. The braised pork he ate didn't taste good anymore.

He left two large bags of food and daily necessities, and said:

"Give more of the food I brought for you to those who are good to you, and don't share the bad ones. Don't be egalitarian. That will alienate those who are good to you, understand?"

"Ah."

Xiao Hao was still thinking about what his older brothers and sisters asked him to learn, and his mind was absent-minded.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go back. Get along well with our comrades and don't cause trouble."

"understood."

The return journey was not short. The two of them took turns riding the tricycle and rode for more than two hours. When they arrived at the plantation, it was almost 2 o'clock.

A man came forward and called out, "Brother Pei."

"Zhou Yuanyuan!" Zuo Ling recognized her at the first sight.

It’s already this late. How long has Zhou Yuanyuan waited? There is even frost on her body.

The guard followed and said to the two of them:

"This girl said she wanted to look for Brother Pei. We told her you weren't here, but she refused to leave."

Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes were red and she looked at Pei Nansheng with a look of aggrieved.

After Pei Nansheng personally denied the news of her engagement, those who had congratulated her changed their attitude. Although they didn't say anything to her face, many of them made sarcastic remarks behind her back.

They said she was a shameless girl, that she was unwilling to pay for the man, and that even her mother was embarrassed.

Although her mother was wrong, Zhou Yuanyuan just felt wronged. She had never suffered such a great injustice since she was a child.

There was a young man who had pursued her, and he mocked her in a sarcastic way, saying that she, Zhou Yuanyuan, had come to this day...

The beauty is in tears, it depends on whether her brother can withstand it, Zuo Ling smiled secretly.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the peach blossoms are coming and nothing can be stopped.

"Then...Brother, you guys chat, I'll go in first."

Pei Nansheng subconsciously grabbed Zuo Ling. He was an old bachelor and had no experience in dealing with girls.

Seeing Pei Nansheng like this, Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes became even redder.

"Brother Pei, am I so scary?"

"No... not scary."

Pei Nansheng scratched his head. He really didn't know what to say to Zhou Yuanyuan.

"Brother, please tell her that the military compound is quite far from here. Send her back safely. It's dark out here, don't let anything get into trouble."

He stuffed a handful of candy into the guard's hand and said, "Go about your business. It's all right."

Sugar cubes are more valuable than food. The guard was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He is worthy of being the richest man in our plantation. Look how generous he is.

"Thank you, Sister Zuo."

Zuo Ling waved her hand indifferently and walked towards the plantation.

The two were left there, one wiping tears in grievance, the other not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Pei Nansheng said:

"It's too late. Let me take you home."

Perhaps because she had waited too long and was exhausted, Zhou Yuanyuan obediently got on the tricycle.

The two were silent.

The night wind was very cold throughout the day. Zhou Yuanyuan was wearing the clothes she wore at noon, and she was so cold that she hunched her back. Pei Nansheng's tall and broad back swayed in front of her.

The first time Zhou Yuanyuan secretly saw Pei Nansheng, she fell in love with him.

Natural disasters were frequent, and everyone was short of food and clothing. Everyone looked malnourished. Suddenly seeing a healthy, strong, clean, and elegant man, it was inevitable that they would be moved.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged Pei Nansheng regardless. Pei Nansheng froze and stepped on the brake.

"Go down."

Zhou Yuanyuan sniffed, without moving or making a sound.

Pei Nansheng tried to separate Zhou Yuanyuan's hands from those around him, but Zhou Yuanyuan held him even tighter.

After tearing for a long time, Pei Nansheng said angrily: "Let go."

If he really tried hard, Zhou Yuanyuan would naturally be no match for him, but he was soft-hearted and afraid of hurting her.

"Not loose."

Zhou Yuanyuan's soft crying voice softened Pei Nansheng's heart, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"I just want to grow old with my brothers and sisters. I don't want to start a family. You can find someone else."

"What if they get married?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked back.

"Then we'll talk about it then."

Pei Nansheng has thought about the possibility that his younger brothers and sisters will leave him. When that day really comes, what will he do... ?

There is no answer. He doesn't want to think about it, nor can he think that far. He lives in a daze, taking one day at a time.

Zhou Yuanyuan let go of her hand, wiped her tears, and said in a more serious tone:

"Then remember, I was the first one in line. When that day comes, you have to choose me first."

After saying that, he jumped out of the car and rushed into the night.

Pei Nansheng was worried, so he chased after him on his bike.

Zhou Yuanyuan ran desperately in front, and Pei Nan followed slowly behind for fear of giving the girl a misconception.

Occasionally, they met a few pedestrians who looked at the two people running and chasing each other in confusion.

Zhou Yuanyuan and Pei Nansheng were relatively well-known in the base. Those who recognized them were like they had discovered a new continent, and they whispered the big news to those around them.

After watching Zhou Yuanyuan enter the military residential area, Pei Nansheng returned.

When they got home, Zuo Ling was waiting to eat the melon with a smile on her face.

"Brother, what's up? What did you say?"

Pei Nansheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "You really want to marry me off."

Zuo Ling laughed and said, "Yes, marry a new sister-in-law. Hey, what did you say to your sister-in-law?"

Pei Nansheng's face darkened: "What sister-in-law? What nonsense."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a single man and a single woman, riding in a car together, under the starlight and under the moonlight, shouldn't there be some special sparks?"

Pei Nansheng couldn't help but think of the tenderness when Zhou Yuanyuan hugged him.

Having lived with Pei Nansheng for two lifetimes, Zuo Ling knew something was wrong just by looking at his expression.

"Something really happened. Tell me, tell me quickly."

Pei Nansheng felt annoyed when he saw his sister's expression as if she wanted to eat the melon while it's hot.

"Nothing happened. Can you think of something serious?"

"Marrying a sister-in-law is a serious matter. There is no more serious matter than this."

Pei Nansheng didn't want to pay attention to her and turned away.

Zuo Ling smiled: "Hey, the iron tree is blooming."

Looking at my own house, hmm, it's a little small... No, no, it's too small!

In a year or two, I’ll have a nephew or niece... Oh, I’ll be an aunt soon.
