Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

Jiang Yan ordered several dishes at the restaurant. She asked Si Lu to have a bowl of wontons to warm his stomach, and then bought the state-owned restaurant's signature dishes, chicken stewed with mushrooms, stewed tofu with soybean sauce, and a bowl of rice.

Si Lu had been on the road for several days and had not had a proper meal. When he smelled the aroma of hot food, he was already salivating.

"Eat slowly." Soldiers eat fast, but it's bad for their stomachs.

Jiang Yan handed over her small water bottle and asked Si Lu to drink a few more sips of water.

Her water is mixed with spiritual spring water, and ordinary people cannot drink it.

Si Lu just felt that the water that Jiang Yan handed him was especially sweet every time, and his whole body felt comfortable after drinking it. He just thought it was a psychological effect and never thought that there could be any trick in the water.

After finishing their meal, they went to wait for the Victory Brigade's bus opposite the supply and marketing cooperative. The sun was scorching hot, and Si Lu always subconsciously used his shadow to block Jiang Yan's light.

After a while, Uncle Luo's ox cart arrived late. When the members saw Si Lu coming, they couldn't help but tease Jiang Yan, but no one said anything excessive.

Now Jiang Yan's status in the Victory Brigade has surpassed Bao Zhiguo. The young educated youth Jiang is their guiding light for getting rich, and they dare not offend this big Buddha.

Who can afford to miss out on a good life and drive the God of Wealth away?

"Young man, when are you going to get married to our Jiang Zhiqing?"

"That's right. You'd better hurry up and get a good girl like Xiao Jiang, the educated youth." In the countryside, many girls get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. The members of the commune all agree that once a girl is over twenty years old, she has to get married quickly. If she doesn't get married by the age of twenty-five, she will be an old maid.

The enthusiasm of the people to urge marriage is unprecedentedly high. Si Lu can feel the change in their attitude. He looked at Jiang Yan with some surprise, and always felt that there was something fishy here.

"Yes, sure..."

"Everyone, get busy."

After Si Lu greeted everyone and put the luggage on the ox cart, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Jiang Yan smiled softly and said, "I'll tell you later."

Uncle Luo interrupted, "Let me take you back first. It's so hot, don't just wait here."

"It's okay, Uncle Luo, don't treat us specially."

"Hey, that's nothing. Anyway, there's no room for both of you in the car. I might as well go first."

"Uncle, thank you."

"Thank you, come on up!"

The two men climbed onto the ox cart and sat down. Uncle Luo waved the whip and returned to the Victory Brigade.

As soon as we entered the mountains, the heat dropped significantly. When we arrived at the Victory Brigade, there were obviously more people greeting Si Lu.

As a family member of a wealthy leader, Si Lu clearly felt the great enthusiasm of the members.

Uncle Luo was a good person who could handle things. He sent the people directly to the production team. "It's not cold now, and the house can be moved in after a simple cleaning. The head of the division can stay here or at the team leader's house at night."

How could Si Lu not understand what he meant? He was protecting Jiang Yan's reputation, fearing that something bad might happen if his hot-blooded son moved into Jiang Yan's house.

"Uncle, the compound is nice. I'm used to sleeping on a hard bed. I'm not that squeamish."

Uncle Luo nodded, this young man is a good one.

"I think the captain will be here soon. Please sit down for a while. I'm going back to town."

Jiang Yan took out a pack of biscuits and stuffed them into his hands. "Uncle, eat some biscuits to fill your stomach at noon. Don't work while hungry."

Country people are used to living a hard life, and in their eyes, biscuits are a good thing. No one would spend money to buy them unless it is a festival.

"I don't want it. This stuff is expensive. You young people eat it."

"Oh, uncle, just take it."

Jiang Yan just said: "It will be broken into pieces soon, so no one can eat it."

Uncle Luo had no choice but to pack up and drove away in the ox cart with a smile on his face.

When Bao Zhiguo heard that Si Lu had arrived, he hurried from home to the compound and called Li Caiying with him, asking her to clean up a place for Si Lu to live.

Last winter, there was heavy snow and Si Lu did not show up in the village. No one saw him even when he stayed at the home of the educated youth Xiao Jiang. Naturally, outsiders like them turned a blind eye.

But today is different. Everyone in the village has seen Si Lu, so he has to go over and make arrangements quickly to prevent the young people from making any mistakes.

This kind of thing would be fatal even if it happened to ordinary people, not to mention that Si Lu was still eating public food!

When Bao Zhiguo and Li Caiying rushed to the production team compound, Si Lu had already cleaned up the house.

The house had just been cleaned not long ago, so there wasn't much dust. Si Lu didn't let Jiang Yan get involved, and he mopped the house from top to bottom himself, even sweeping the floor.

He had just spread out his luggage when Bao Zhiguo and his wife arrived in a hurry.

"Captain Si, welcome, welcome."

As soon as Bao Zhiguo saw the bed, he understood everything. His evaluation of Si Lu increased by two points. He said politely: "This place is too simple. Why don't you stay at my house?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. Uncle, we soldiers are not spoiled, I can just stay here."

"Okay then." There are many people in his family, and it is indeed not convenient for them to go in and out. If it is winter, and there is no kang in the house, people will freeze to death. He must ask Si Lu to go home and make do with them. Now it is summer, there is no problem with heating, and it doesn't matter where they live.

"Okay, come over to my house for dinner tonight. Your aunt and I will cook some food. You and Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, can come."

The couple wanted to talk, but Li Caiying was not as tactless as him. She just said, "The food is from home, it's not worth much. You must come in the evening."

After saying that, he pulled Bao Zhiguo away.

"Hey, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet, why are you pulling me?"

Bao Zhiguo had a lot to say to Si Lu. He wanted to tell him how great Jiang Yan was, how much she had contributed to Shengli Village, and how the whole society was grateful to her.

"What you want to say, can't the educated youth Jiang say it? You're just standing there, aren't you annoying?"

Bao Zhiguo finally reacted, "Yes, you are right. Well, go back and prepare the meal. I will go to the fish pond to catch some fish. Give me some money."

The members of Shengli Brigade have the priority right to purchase the fish in the fish pond, and they pay the internal price, which is 10 cents per pound cheaper than what they sell to others.

The money from selling fish is collected and recorded by the person in charge of the fish pond, and both parties have to sign. Even if Jiang Yan and Bao Zhiguo go there, they still have to buy the money, and it's almost the same.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Li Caiying took out two crumpled bills and stuffed them into Bao Zhiguo's hand. The couple then went their separate ways, which we will not discuss for now.

"Don't you think that the attitudes of the members of Victory Brigade are very strange when I come here this time? What happened in the past six months?"

He was out on a mission and did not receive the letter from Jiang Yan.

"This is a long story."
