Ruan Yu had no intention of learning more about the comings and goings at the educated youth point. Her mind was now completely occupied with thinking about the dishes to prepare to entertain the guests.

After all, this was the first time she properly entertained guests as a hostess since she came into this world!

When it comes to cooking, Xie Beichen can obviously only help.

However, when he saw Ruan Yu frowning and seriously considering the arrangement of dishes, he felt a little distressed, and even had the idea of ​​asking Aunt Hongying to come over and help cook a meal.

"How can this be done!"

Ruan Yu's hands were shaking as she was cutting vegetables. She turned her head and glanced at Xie Beichen who was staring at the fire by the stove: "We are already a family now, how can we have a family dinner and ask our godmother to come and help cook?

If your comrades knew about this, they would laugh at you later."

"What's the big deal? I still have a wife. You can invite them over for dinner, but they don't even have a wife."

However, Xie Beichen obviously did not take Ruan Yu's worries seriously.

He looked at Ruan Yu with a smile and said, "Besides, the dishes you cook are delicious, there is really no need to worry so much.

Don't worry, even if you just buy it with your eyes closed, they will come and buy it all for you!"

Although Ruan Yu knew that Xie Beichen's words were mostly meant to comfort her, she still felt much more relaxed.

By the time the guests arrived the next day, Ruan Yu had basically completed all the preparations that needed to be done.

When the bright red hot pot soup was served, Xie Beichen's comrades-in-arms immediately turned green-eyed.

Then, Ruan Yu stared in amazement as an epic battle for food took place on the table.

Du Xiaoman was a little restrained at first, but was soon assimilated completely.

After all, being reserved will only make you hungry in the end!

As the chopsticks flew, the food on the table was disappearing visibly, so much so that Ruan Yu added a lot of meat and vegetables in the middle, but it still seemed that it could not fill those huge mouths that were like bottomless pits.

It was also at this moment that Ruan Yu realized that people’s desire for food could be so terrifying.

Fortunately, there was enough food at home, and she was not stingy. She simply cut the stock and served it up, trying her best to make both the host and the guests happy in the end.

The result of entertaining these guests was that there was not much meat left at home for the New Year.

If this happened to someone else, they might feel really sad, but for Xie Beichen and the others, it was not a big problem.

Because there was nothing else to do in the army recently, the few people who had eaten and drunk their fill looked at each other tacitly and decided to stay here for two more days.

However, the reason they chose to stay was not to spend a few more days with Xie Beichen to reminisce about the past, but to go into the mountains and replenish some stock for Xie Beichen's family, whose food was almost completely eaten up by them, so that they could celebrate the New Year.

Ruan Yu usually didn't say anything when Xie Beichen went into the mountains alone, but this time, as several of their comrades went into the mountains together, Ruan Yu was naturally relieved.

While a few people were preparing to set off, she quickly packed up the remaining food so that they could take it into the mountains as dry food.

After everything was ready, Ruan Yu accompanied Xie Beichen and the others out of the hospital gate. She only turned around and went home after watching the five people disappear into the night.

From beginning to end, Du Xiaoman only knew that Xie Beichen and his friends were going into the mountains, but he didn't know what they were going to do.

And he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Xie Beichen and his men are soldiers, and they are most likely on a mission when they go into the mountains so late.

When it comes to confidential matters, not only will he not ask too many questions, but he will also not reveal a single word to anyone once he leaves the yard.

This is the most basic protection for friends right now.

This time when Du Xiaoman came, although he had a close relationship with Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen, they both tacitly avoided talking about the past.

Especially, Du Xiaoman didn't even mention what happened to Ruan Yu after her mother remarried and moved.

He stayed to help Ruan Yu finish the final work, and then took the initiative to leave.

It was getting late and it would be inconvenient for him to stay any longer.

"Take this back with you."

Ruan Yu did not ask Du Xiaoman to stay, but instead stuffed a jar of the meat sauce she had made earlier into his pocket.

"Hey, I won't be polite with you about this." Du Xiaoman did not try to be polite with Ruan Yu and simply accepted this rare gift.

He took two steps towards the door, then turned around as if he had thought of something, looked at Ruan Yu and considered for a while, then told her the whole story about Wu Xinyue.

However, he later said with some regret: "When we came here, although the old branch secretary did not say it explicitly, his arrangements were very clear.

Under normal circumstances, we should be allowed to temporarily squeeze in with the educated youth who had come to Kaoshantun before. This would save firewood and avoid the need to build new rooms.

But he chose to tidy up the east yard again.

Later, Sister Guiqin also told us to be careful and not to be fooled by others.

I became even more certain that something was wrong in this youth education center.

Later, Comrade Liu Guilan, who came to receive us, looked gentle and kind, but in fact her attitude always felt strange.

Originally, these things didn't need to be told to you.

But I think I might cause you some trouble."

Speaking of this, Du Xiaoman's face was filled with guilt and uneasiness.

"When I was on the road, I briefly mentioned that I came here to see you."

Wu Xinyue knew about these things.

Du Xiaoman was not worried about anything else. He was just worried that this would be leaked by Wu Xinyue and then used by someone with ulterior motives to spread rumors.

If it affects the relationship between Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen, then...

"fine."

However, after hearing Du Xiaoman's reminder, Ruan Yu was not worried at all. Instead, she smiled and comforted Du Xiaoman.

"Other people have their mouths on them. Even if you hadn't said those things on the road before, would you not have come to find me when you arrived at Kaoshantun?

As long as there is contact, there will naturally be people gossiping.

don’t worry. "

“I didn’t say anything else, I just said that we grew up together, and then we lost contact after you left with your mother.

This time it was also fate. I saw your name by chance when I went to the educated youth point to check the assigned location. "

Du Xiaoman scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and whispered to explain further to Ruan Yu.

"You know, after you left, my dad has always missed you.

But your mother always... ahem, it's not convenient for me to say much about the elders!

But you are living a good life now, so I will write to my dad later, and he will definitely be very happy!"

"This is really fate. I just spoke to Uncle Du on the phone a few days ago." Ruan Yu smiled and did not hide from Du Xiaoman the fact that she had spoken with his father before.

"However, we are able to be assigned to the same team, so we can really look after each other in the future, which is also good."
