At six o'clock the next day, Huo Haocheng set off. When he went downstairs, the two elders had also gotten up. The old man was sitting on the sofa reading today's newspaper, and Grandma Ruan was in the kitchen making breakfast with Aunt Zhang.

"Good morning, grandpa and grandma"

"Haocheng, did you sleep well? Is there anything you are not used to?"

"Grandma, I slept well, there was nothing I was not used to."

"Just get used to it. If you need anything, just tell Ruan Ruan. It's like your own home. You can talk to your grandfather for a while, and then you can eat." After saying that, the old lady turned and went into the kitchen to continue her work.

“Okay grandma”

"Come sit down, let's chat."

"The girl came back in a hurry before, and she only said good things about the child. We just want to know some things about the child from childhood to adulthood."

"Ruan Ruan was very well behaved when she was brought back by Uncle San and his family. She would make noises when she saw us brothers because she was very beautiful since she was young. We all liked her very much and she also liked to go out and play with us. When the elders in the village saw her, they liked to give her some snacks.

At the beginning, she and my brothers went to the creek to catch fish. Of course, we were the ones who went fishing, and she just watched by the bucket. Her small self was almost as tall as the bucket, and she would reach into the bucket with her hands to catch the fish. While doing so, she would communicate with the fish, asking them to be good and not move, so that she could touch them.

Later, as she grew up, she followed us to school. At first, she cried because we were not in the same class. Later, I took her to my class. It took her two days to adapt. Later, as she grew older, she also liked to go up the mountain with us to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, and pine nuts.

"It seems that your family pays great attention to the education of children." Listening to Ruan Ruan's growth process and the person now in front of them, it can be seen that Ruan Ruan has been well taken care of since childhood.

"Then how did you get engaged?" The old man didn't believe in child brides. Based on what Ruan Chuanji and the others had told him about the Huo family, it was impossible for them to worry about the child not being able to find a wife when he grew up.

"That, that..." Thinking about the scene of their engagement, it seems a bit hasty now.

"Hmm? Is there something you can't tell me?"

"No, no, it's just quite dramatic." Huo Haocheng then recounted the entire process of their engagement. Strictly speaking, it was not even an engagement, it was just a joke born out of youth and ignorance, but both of them took it seriously.

"So you joined the army at the age of 18, and Ruan Ruan was 12 when you left. Aren't you worried that Ruan Ruan would regret her marriage when she grows up? After all, you were not with her during her adolescence."

"I was worried, too, but a man should have great ambitions. I couldn't give up my dream just because of a romantic relationship. Becoming an excellent soldier is my lifelong goal. Ruan Ruan also knew that. When I decided to join the army, I discussed it with her. She said she would wait for me. When he left, she said her husband was an unparalleled hero who would come back on a colorful cloud to marry her."

Now thinking about what Ruan Ruan said at that time, Huo Haocheng felt that this was also the motivation that encouraged her to move forward.

"Oh, come back on a colorful cloud to marry her!" The old man looked at Huo Haocheng in front of him, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did it"

"What happened after you left? Do you know how she spent those six years?" the old man continued to ask.

When talking about the past six years of Ruan Ruan, Huo Haocheng smiled and shook his head.

"Why, judging by your expression, it's very exciting?"

“It’s quite exciting”

"Oh..." The old man became interested, and the old lady who had been listening to the two people talking in the kitchen also became interested. After putting down the bowl, she also sat over.

"She may have reached the so-called rebellious period. The more she was forbidden to do something, the more she wanted to do it. Once, I remember it was when she was 13 years old, in winter, the village organized a hunting trip. When she heard about it, she insisted on going with them, otherwise she would cry. She also said that she was not allowed to go with them, so she went quietly by herself.

But she was too young, and the people who went there were a group of grown men, and it was inconvenient for her, a girl, to go with them, so her grandfather scolded her and left her at home. She was not convinced, and later, whenever she found a chance, she would take her big yellow dog with her. You know what, she was really lucky, and she could always bring back something.

Later, she brought a few brothers with her. Grandpa couldn't do anything about her. Seeing that they were only on the edge of the mountain and didn't go deep into the mountains, he let her go. Later, she wrote me a letter to show off. Huo Haocheng still remembers the proud expression at the end of the letter.

"Wow, she can hunt!"

"She just looked at it out of curiosity and wanted to try everything. After trying it, she found it boring and put it aside." This is also quite shameless.

"So what skills did she learn?"

"She was a good student. She could learn after the teacher taught her once. She was always the top student in her grade. Later, she learned to play chess from her grandfather. One day, she saw dried fruits being sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. She tried them once and thought they were okay, but there were not many varieties and none of them were what she liked. So she went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and came back to study how to make them herself. She succeeded.

She has a good talent for languages ​​and she learned several foreign languages ​​from her high school teachers."

"It seems that this girl is still a treasure!"

The two elders could only sigh and say that Ruan Ruan had a very wonderful childhood. If she had grown up in a large compound in Beijing, she might not have had these experiences.
