Chapter 61 - See You on the Battlefield Four Years Later (2/2)

“We are all looking forward to seeing you… four years later, when you come here wearing a military uniform. Come on, high five, high five!” It was a squad leader who was suggesting to have high fives. All of them were scouts who were excellent at free combat. While executing tasks, they had serious and cold looks on their tan faces. But when they were resting, just like the elder brothers in the neighborhood, they would definitely take care of Ye Jian.

After clapping hands with the soldiers, Ye Jian ended her May Day holiday in the army.

She would return during the summer vacation. At that time, together with this group of charming and respectable warriors, she would live an unforgettable military life.

It was already nearly five o’clock in the afternoon when she was back in town. Princ.i.p.al Chen smiled and took out a 50 Yuan note. He said, “Go, girl, buy a pound of pork belly. I’m having a drink with Grandpa Gen tonight.”

He was exuberant and even happier than finding a treasure.

Ye Jian took the money and said eagerly, “Braised pork in brown sauce, braised gra.s.s carp… These are the dishes that you and Grandpa like.”

“You are a girl with a good memory. Go ahead.” Grandpa Gen also laughed happily. He rarely came to town. He had agreed to come here because he was genuinely happy today.

The market in the town was not big, and there were only a few stands at four or five o’clock in the afternoon.

When selecting the ingredients, Ye Jian heard the peddlers discussing the election of the town mayor. One of them said that since Ye Zhifan―the deputy town mayor―and his family could even kick his niece out from their home, he was definitely not a good official. Ye Jian smiled gently as she heard this.

If this matter affected Ye Zhifan’s career, Sun Dongqing and her daughter must be having a hard time.

Fujun Town, after five o’clock in the afternoon, had gradually quieted down. Even the pa.s.sing vehicles had reduced a lot. Occasionally, motorcycles drove past the town speedily, leaving behind a string of smoke from the diesel oil.
