"It's alright, don't worry. I'll go to the commune tomorrow to find the director and ask him what's going on!"

"Okay, let's go ask." After finishing his business, Captain Lu went back.

"Yanfang, are you hungry now?" Gao Jianguo asked the little girl.

"I'm a little hungry," Shang Yanfang said, rubbing her stomach.

"Then I'll cook for you," Gao Jianguo said, and went to the kitchen to cook.

"Brother, why are your comrades here?" Shang Yanfang asked, pointing to three military green figures outside, as Gao Jianguo went to cook.

"You came to see me. What's wrong?" Shang Guohua looked at his younger sister with confusion.

"Oh, when did they arrive?"

"They arrived after lunch." Shang Guohua shook his head helplessly as he looked at the three people outside.

"What brings them here?" Shang Yanfang asked her older brother curiously.

"They should be taking me back," Shang Guohua said.

"Can you take the train now?" Shang Yanfang asked her older brother with concern.

“Yes, I can. I can lie there,” Shang Guohua said, pointing to the wound on his lower abdomen.

"Then you must buy a sleeper ticket when the time comes," Shang Yanfang said very seriously.

"Don't worry, we soldiers have the right to buy tickets first," Shang Guohua reassured his younger sister.

"Yanfang, dinner's ready." Gao Jianguo made a bowl of fried rice for the little girl.

"Boss, boss. These old ladies are terrifying!" Shang Guohua's comrade Guo Yang was the first to escape the clutches of a group of old ladies.

"How did you find me?" Shang Guohua asked coldly, looking at Guo Yang in front of him.

"Boss, we're not here to see you, we're here to see Comrade Gao Jianguo," Guo Yang said sheepishly, scratching his head.

"Looking for me? Do you need something?" Gao Jianguo, who was watching Shang Yanfang eat, asked instinctively when he heard that someone was looking for him.

"You'll have to ask Shen Youcai about that. I only know he came to see you, nothing else. But I guess it's about the three people you helped us catch," Guo Yang said softly.

"Guo Yang, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." Shang Guohua looked helplessly at his brother.

"Boss."

"Boss."

The other two followed closely behind Guo Yang and escaped the clutches of the group of old women.

Shang Guohua gave the two men a cold look, and they immediately quieted down.

"Shen Youcai".

"arrive."

"Speak, what brings you to see Gao Jianguo?" Shang Guohua asked directly, addressing him by name.

"I'm here to thank my good comrade for his help, and also to inquire about you, Captain," Shen Youcai simply explained the purpose of his visit.

"When will we rejoin the team?" Although Shang Guohua was injured, his imposing manner startled even Shang Yanfang.

"tomorrow."

"Captain, do you want to come back together?" Guo Yang, that silly goose, asked.

"Back."

“Your injury…” Shen Youcai pointed at the injury on Shang Guohua’s body, hesitating to speak.

"It's alright, I'll buy a sleeper berth," Shang Guohua said, waving his hand.

"Alright, you guys go outside and wait a bit, we'll be back soon." Shang Guohua wanted to talk to his younger sister a little longer.

Seeing this, Gao Jianguo also wanted to go out. "Yanfang, you talk to your brother, I'll go wash the dishes."

"Jianguo, no need. You can listen too." Shang Guohua stopped Gao Jianguo from doing so. Since Gao Jianguo had become his future brother-in-law, he could still hear his conversation with his sister.

Gao Jianguo pulled his leg back from the doorway.

"Hey, Jianguo, about that letter you just saw, I'll take care of it for you. Those three people you helped us catch this time aren't good people. I'll report it to the higher-ups truthfully. They should be able to give you a certificate of honor then. It'll be helpful for your future actions."

Shang Guohua is completely treating Gao Jianguo as one of his own.

"No, no need..."

"Don't worry about sleeping or not using anything; what's yours is yours," Shang Guohua said when he saw that Gao Jianguo still wanted to refuse.

"Okay, thanks bro."

"Hey little sister. I heard from our parents that our little brother is going to be sent to the countryside with you. Please take good care of him. I'm afraid he'll be swindled out of everything."

"I will. This time, it should be our mother and my younger brother coming together."

"Why?" Shang Guohua was puzzled. His mother hadn't mentioned sending his younger sister off when she went to the countryside, but his younger brother was being asked to be sent off?

"They're coming in a couple of days, and I'm getting married," Shang Yanfang said shyly.

"No wonder."

"Brother, are you leaving soon?" Shang Yanfang asked timidly.

"Okay, I'll go back with them later."

"Okay, I'll go prepare some food for you on the train now." This time, Shang Yanfang wasn't as reluctant as she was last time.

"Okay, prepare less, don't tire yourself out." Shang Guohua looked at his little sister with great satisfaction.

His younger sister has grown up and can take care of people now.

Seeing the young girl leave, Gao Jianguo wanted to go out too. "Um, big brother, I'll go help Yanfang."

Looking at Gao Jianguo's clingy manner, Shang Guohua really hoped that his sister hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Shang Yanfang was in the kitchen, where she simply boiled about ten eggs, made a few pancakes, and packed all the pork jerky she had saved into them. She also packed some mountain produce she had picked up a few days ago.

Gao Jianguo was originally helping her in the kitchen, but Guo Yang clung to him the moment he saw him. "Comrade Gao, who did you learn those moves from?"

"Comrade Gao, would you like to join the army? We can do missions together."

"Comrade Gao, you're amazing. It's a shame you didn't join the army."

Guo Yang's constant chatter annoyed Shang Yanfang, so she kicked them both out.

Gao Jianguo had actually considered joining the army, after all, the saying "You'll regret joining the army for a year, but you'll regret not joining for a lifetime" is not just a saying.

But then he thought of his black market and Shang Yanfang, and any budding attraction he felt was nipped in the bud.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Guo, it's just me and my grandfather in my family. If I go to join the army, there will be no one to take care of my grandfather." Hearing Gao Jianguo's polite refusal, Guo Yang was not discouraged and kept pestering Gao Jianguo to teach him martial arts.

Fortunately, it was getting late and they had to head back to the commune, otherwise Gao Jianguo really wouldn't have been able to shake off Guo Yang, that clingy guy.

With the help of the brigade leader, they successfully rode an oxcart to the commune, and then took a bus from the commune to the county.

They stayed overnight at a guesthouse and then took the train back to their unit the next day.

The next day, Gao Jianguo went to the commune to find Wang Dachui to learn about the letter about his background.

Wang Dachui looked at Gao Jianguo in front of him with a knowing look on his face.

“Jianguo, I didn’t know your parents and grandfather were such amazing people. No wonder you are amazing too.”

Wang Dachui had always wondered how Gao Jianguo, a native villager, could have such courage and become the boss of the black market.
