Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Jiang Sen was not surprised at all that Luo Jianshe could afford such luxury goods.

"Okay! Then let's buy the imported ones. I'll go get the money for you!"

"Hey! What's the rush!" Luo Jianshe called out to him. "Last time I said you were coming back, and I had some money that I didn't transfer to you. I'm here today to give you the money!"

He took out a bulging brown paper bag from his bag, pulled out a handful of money, counted out five thousand yuan, and pushed the rest to Jiang Sen.

"That's all. I'll cover the rest. Consider it a housewarming gift!"

Jiang Sen knew there was a lot of money just by looking at how bulging the brown paper bag was.

Luo Jianshe took out five thousand yuan, and there wasn't much money missing from the money, which means that there was more than five thousand yuan left.

That's right, he also sent him a ginseng and a lingzhi mushroom last time.

He didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay! Then I won't be polite. I just got my marriage certificate today and bought some things. Let's have lunch together!"

"What? You've already registered your marriage? Well, let me make this clear beforehand: this meal doesn't count. The wedding banquet has to be formal; I want a big feast!"

"Alright!" Jiang Sen smiled and stood up. "Yingzi!"

Yingzi came out of the house, and Jiang Sen handed her the brown paper bag. "Put it away, let's go out for dinner!"

"Ok!"

Seeing her go inside, Luo Jianshe asked in a low voice, "Is your sister-in-law settling in well? She seems quite... spirited and honest. Make sure she doesn't get bullied when she goes out."

Jiang Sen immediately laughed, "Don't worry about that! She may look fierce, but she's actually quite cunning! I'm not afraid of others bullying her, I'm just afraid she'll beat the bullies until they're seriously injured."

"Oh? Sister-in-law is a martial arts expert?" Luo Jianshe looked at Yingzi with newfound respect.

"I don't know if she's a trained fighter or not, but someone like me could be taken down by her alone!"

"You managed to tame this wild horse, buddy, you're something else!" Luo Jianshe gave him a thumbs up.

Yingzi came out. "It's all put away. Where are we going to eat?"

Luo Jianshe quickly stood up and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you like to eat?"

Yingzi thought for a moment, "The mutton at that restaurant up ahead is alright."

"Lamb?" Luo Jianshe looked at Jiang Sen.

Jiang Sen couldn't stop laughing. "It's that hot pot place up ahead."

"Oh! I see, that was a state-owned restaurant, but it seems it was recently contracted out to a private company. Okay, that's the place!"

Jiang Sen had taken Yingzi to that hot pot restaurant two or three times since he returned.

Putting everything else aside, just the freshness alone makes it worth eating.

The slaughterhouse is located in the backyard, where the meat is killed and slaughtered on the spot. Customers can watch the owner cut meat from the freshly slaughtered sheep.

The three people were eating by the window, with the overhead fan on and the window open.

People passing by turned their heads to look inside.

Yingzi suddenly nudged Jiang Sen with her leg.

Jiang Sen looked at her, and she gestured towards the window with her lips.

A person was standing across the road looking this way, and Jiang Sen's face immediately darkened.

He's like a persistent ghost. I said such nasty things that day, but Jiang Dayou still won't give up and comes back again!

Luo Jianshe followed Jiang Sen's gaze and asked, "Do you... know this person?"

Jiang Sen withdrew his gaze, "My father!"

"You...ah!" Luo Jianshe knew what had happened to Jiang Sen. "Eat! Boss, another plate of meat, make it tender!"

"Alright! Please have a seat!"

Yingzi picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Sen with her chopsticks and ate it herself with her head down.

Jiang Sen liked this about Yingzi; when they were out together, she was always the one who made the decisions, never interrupting or throwing tantrums.

If Jiang Sen did something during the day that displeased her, she would only ask about it when she got home.

Once the explanation was cleared up, she cheered up again, and the matter was over.

If Jiang Sen doesn't explain clearly, or if his explanation is far-fetched, then fine, Yingzi will just chase Jiang Sen around the yard and beat him.

Luo Jianshe glanced at Jiang Sen a few times and asked, "Brother, we all know about your situation. Does he really have something to ask you?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Sen exhaled, the mutton no longer smelled good. He put down his chopsticks. "I don't know where he saw me, but he came to my house tonight and said all sorts of nonsense. Just ignore him!"

Luo Jianshe laughed, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Yingzi, come on, lamb brain, eat! This is the tenderest piece of meat!"

Yingzi smiled and nodded. After the meat was cooked, she took a bite and her eyes lit up. "Mmm, neck meat!"

Luo Jianshe paused with his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Sen.

Jiang Sen said, "The cut of meat on the top of the sheep's neck that we're talking about is what they call the neck meat, the small piece of meat behind the neck, in front of the ribs on both sides of the spine."

Luo Jianshe suddenly realized, "Oh, I've learned something new! I always thought it was on the back of the head! Haha..."

The three of them were quickly distracted by the tender mutton.

After the meal, they returned to the house to drink tea and chat.

Looking at the tea brewing in the glass, Luo Jianshe said, "I'll get you a tea set tomorrow. Drinking black tea like this is such a waste!"

Jiang Sen chuckled upon hearing this, "It's good enough to have something to drink. In the Great Northern Wilderness, all we have is strong liquor!"

What kind of tea is "Shaodaozi"?

"It's liquor! Strong liquor! One sip and a fiery line runs from your throat all the way down to your stomach."

"Damn, is it possible to light someone's mouth with just a match?"

"Ha ha……"

After talking for a while, Luo Jianshe was about to leave.

Jiang Sen escorted the people out.

Luo Jianshe asked, "Have you recovered from these past few days?"

"It's alright!" Jiang Sen said. "I'm busy every day but not tired, unlike in the mountains."

"That's good. If you're free, come visit me."

Jiang Sen glanced back.

“It’s fine to take her along, I don’t have many people around here.”

"Never mind! I'll go in and tell them to wait for me!"

Jiang Sen knew that Luo Jianshe had invited him to discuss serious matters. He said he could bring Yingzi, but Jiang Sen couldn't do that.

I told Yingzi I was going out for a bit, and she nodded in agreement, "Okay, go ahead! I need to clean up the fish pond in the back; it's so dirty!"

"Don't tire yourself out, I'm leaving now!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Jiang Sen walked out, still muttering to himself.

Why don't you follow me anymore?

After leaving the house, we got into Luo Jianshe's jeep and drove straight to the south of Houhai.

We arrived at a gate without a sign, honked the horn twice, someone came to open the gate, and the car drove in.

Once inside, Jiang Sen saw several antique-style houses.

He used to pass by here often, but he had no idea what was inside the big iron gate.

He only realized after entering today that this was the logistics department of the Kyoto Military Region compound.

There weren't many people inside; they were probably all in their offices.

Luo Jianshe drove the car to the back and parked it.

After getting out of the car, he led Jiang Sen into a three-story building.

As they walked, he said to Jiang Sen, "This is the logistics department of the military region. I've asked for a few offices here."

Once inside, a cool breeze dispelled the heat outside.

There is a corridor on the left and right, and a staircase in the middle.

Luo Jianshe led Jiang Sen to turn left and walk to the door of the last office.

There was no sign on the door.

The door was opened with a key, revealing two or three dark red desks and a row of cabinets inside.

"Come on, take a look, this is our base!" After introducing it to Jiang Sen, Luo Jianshe led him to two offices in the back. Opening the door, he saw several sacks piled up inside. "This is all warehouse space. Everything you send is stored here. How about it, brother? Let's get to work?"
