Chapter 4 Recruitment

"Ahem..."

When their eyes met, Wang Guojun felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice, and Tian Mengqing came to his senses.

"Oh, thank you, I'm fine."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Tian Mengqing turned away and pushed the hair that was scattered in front of his forehead behind his ears.

"You shouldn't be at home, why did you come out? Did something happen?"

Tian Mengqing knew that she was a little impatient, but she didn't want to stay in that home for a minute longer.

"Do you still remember what I told you last night?"

Tian Mengqing turned around, her brows knitted into a knot.

Seeing a knot between Tian Mengqing's eyebrows, who was as white as fat, Wang Guojun couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and even had the urge to go up and smooth the knot between her eyebrows.

Wang Guojun just stared at him without responding. Tian Mengqing thought that Wang Guojun had misunderstood and explained: "I'm serious! Maybe you think I'm too childish..."

"If you are sure, I will definitely be responsible for you!"

Before Tian Mengqing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Guojun.

"Then why are you?"

Wang Guojun untied the rope tied to the sack, then lifted the sack, opening it downwards and shaking out the contents.

A hare, two pheasants, a bag of mushrooms...a bag full of mountain products.

"Hey~" Tian Mengqing let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that there was a mountain product in his pocket and not the corpse as people said.

"I wonder if these things are enough as a betrothal gift? I."

"Actually, you don't need these at all, as long as you are here."

"This is necessary. Although these things are not worth much, the rules are the rules."

Tian Mengqing didn't say much, just pursed her lips and smiled, then squatted down to help pick up the game and put it into the bag.

She understood what kind of virtue her adoptive mother was. No matter how much she was given, she would never be satisfied. She only had a greedy desire to get more from her.

"When do you plan to come to my house?"

After a moment of silence, Tian Mengqing spoke.

Wang Guojun raised his eyes and looked at Tian Mengqing and then at his house. He was short of time and did not have time to repair the air leakage in his house.

The considerate Tian Mengqing understood Wang Guojun's hesitation and smiled.

"It doesn't matter if I can live in the firewood shed. I'm good at cooking and carrying water. It'll be nice if there's a place for me to live. I don't mind anything else."

"How can that be done!"

"It doesn't matter, I grew up through hardship, and my room is worse than yours!"

In order to reassure Wang Guojun, Tian Mengqing blurted out. Afterwards, she realized something was wrong and explained: "I'm sorry, I mean I can endure hardship, as long as you agree to let me live in, I mean no offense."

"It's okay, I understand."

Wang Guojun pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.

After speaking, the two fell into silence again.

Half a moment.

"Well, I listen to you. I will go whenever you want me to."

After receiving the affirmative answer, the big stone in Tian Mengqing's heart finally fell.

"Thank you, let's do it now."

The royal army paused.

"I should be the one thanking you."

Tian Mengqing shrugged. Although she didn't know why Wang Guojun wanted to thank her, she still wanted to thank him.

Wang Guojun walked in front. Looking at Wang Guojun's back, Tian Mengqing fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?"

Looking back, he saw Tian Mengqing standing there in a daze, and Wang Guojun asked.

"Oh, let's go."

Going back this time, there will definitely be another quarrel. It doesn't matter. He also went through the process. Tian Mengqing took a deep breath and followed Wang Guojun towards home.

Arriving at the door of his home, Tian Mengqing stopped Wang Guojun.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Listen to me when you come in later."

Wang Guojun said without hesitation, "Okay."

After discussing it, Tian Mengqing opened the courtyard door with confidence. Tian Menglian was sitting in the courtyard facing the sun, admiring the new dress she was about to get married. The fiery red embroidered phoenix looked so dazzling in the sun.

It was this new dress. The day after Tian Mengqing passed away, Tian Menglian put it on and married into the village chief Tian Daqing's home. Seeing this bright red wedding dress again, the resentment in Tian Mengqing's heart deepened.

Seeing Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun entering the door, the smile on Tian Menglian's face immediately disappeared and turned sinister.

"Tian Mengqing, you are really strong-boned. How dare you bring anyone into your home without your parents' permission?"

Tian Mengqing ignored Tian Menglian, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and led Wang Guojun straight through the main room to the fire room.

In the house, Tian Daqiang dug out an old newspaper, tore off a small piece, put a handful of shredded tobacco bought at the market into the torn newspaper, and carefully rolled it into a roll. Zhang Chunhua's fat butt rested on the four sides of the wood.

On the bench, she gasped and bent down with difficulty to cut the rotten cabbage leaves that Tian Tian Mengqing had collected from the field a few days ago.

The figures of Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun blocked part of the light in the not-so-bright room. Tian Daqiang and Zhang Chunhua stopped what they were doing and raised their heads.

"Damn girl, where did you go? You disappeared so early in the morning."

Zhang Chunhua woke up early in the morning and saw no sign of Tian Mengqing. The job of chopping pigs and vegetables fell to her. When she saw Tian Mengqing, she was so angry that she wanted to go up and grab Tian Mengqing to vent her anger.

After last night, Zhang Chunhua still hadn't learned her lesson, and she still didn't feel the slightest bit shy about Tian Mengqing.

Tian Daqiang glanced at it, lowered his head and continued to play with the cigarette on hand. He pinched the edge of the old newspaper rolled into the cigarette, licked it in his mouth, and moistened it for enough time to make the newspapers fit together better.

As for the tobacco inside, it will not fall out, causing waste.

"It's just a betrothal gift from the national army. I've already ordered it."

Tian Mengqing took the game on Wang Guojun's shoulder, threw it in front of Zhang Chunhua and Tian Daqiang, and turned away.

"Wait!"

Tian Daqiang shouted to Tian Mengqing with a squirming voice.

He and Zhang Chunhua looked at each other. Zhang Chunhua squirmed and stood up from the bench due to lack of flexibility, and almost threw himself forward. Tian Daqiang coughed to relieve the embarrassment caused by his mother-in-law.

"It's a joke, who are you trying to fool? Tian Mengqing, your father and I raised you so big, are you worth this little game?"

Zhang Chunhua threw the rabbits and pheasants brought by Wang Guojun to the ground, her face full of contempt.

"You're not even worth the game."

Tian Mengqing bent down and slowly put the scattered game back into the bag.

"Dead girl"

Zhang Chunhua wanted to rush forward and punch Tian Mengqing like before.

Tian Daqiang stopped Zhang Chunhua.

"If there's anything else, let's bring it out together."

Tian Daqiang did not beat around the bush, he straightened up unhurriedly, sat up straight on the stool and crossed his legs, waiting for Wang Guojun to bring out something more valuable.

Tian Menglian happened to come to the door and burst into laughter at the door.

I knew that the royal army was shabby, but I didn't know that it was so shabby that they could only offer game meat as a betrothal. This person's betrothal was not just a gift of money plus candies and wedding cakes.
