Hearing Lin Xu call her "daughter-in-law," Ruolan immediately felt sweet in her heart: "I have already had dinner with Xiao Min this morning. Officer, please eat quickly. The chicken soup won't taste good when it gets cold."
"You worked so hard last night, why did you get up so early today? Sleep in with me next time!"
Lin Xu reached out and touched Ruolan's head and said lovingly.
"Eat quickly, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up first..."
Ruolan's face turned red and she ran away as if running away.
Just after finishing a sumptuous breakfast, Sun Chong strode in.
"Sir, Captain Wang and the others are leaving. He said he won't enter the village anymore. He asked me to say goodbye to you on their behalf. Do you still want to go and see?"
"oops!"
Lin Xu patted his forehead: "I actually forgot about this! Didn't they say it was time to set off yesterday? Is it already time?"
"It's almost time!"
"I'll go right away!"
Lin Xu called into the kitchen: "Ruolan, come with me to see off Captain Wang and the others!"
"Okay! Okay!"
Ruolan agreed and walked out of the kitchen while wiping her hands.
"Has Yang Min prepared the cloth?"
Lin Xu asked.
"She was ready early in the morning."
Ruolan smiled and said: "According to your instructions, each soldier will receive a piece of cotton."
The village was not big, so they walked quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
The village chief, Yang Min and others have already arrived, and the cart of cotton has also been pulled over.
This is not a gray cloth, but a green cloth that Yang Min specially dyed for experiments during this period.
"I'm sorry everyone, I was delayed just now because of something, so I came here late!"
When he walked up to Wang Jicai and other soldiers, Lin Xu immediately apologized with fists in his hands.
"You're welcome, sir!"
Wang Jicai also returned the courtesy: "The war on the border is tense, so we won't stay any longer! Farewell!"
"Captain Wang, you and the other soldiers have worked hard to protect Linshan Village for nearly two months. All of us in the village are grateful! There are some expenses involved, although it is not much, but it is our sincerity! Please also ask Captain Wang
And all the soldiers, don’t dislike it!”
Lin Xu took out a five hundred tael silver note and handed it to Wang Jicai.
"Mr. Lin, you are really embarrassing us! We are here under military orders and we are performing military duties. How can we ask for your money? Mr. Lin, please take back the banknotes!"
Wang Jicai immediately sternly refused!
In fact, Lin Xu also knew that since Tianxingjun's discipline was so strict, Wang Jicai would most likely not ask for a banknote.
However, if he doesn't want it, he still needs to express it.
"In that case, fine! I'll take back the banknote!"
Lin Xu knew that persuasion was useless, so he stopped insisting. He pointed to the cart of cotton cloth next to him and said, "But these cotton cloths are produced in our village and are considered local specialties! Bring one for each of the soldiers.
As a souvenir, Captain Wang has to accept it, right?"
"We can't ask for cotton either!"
Wang Jicai still shook his head!
"Captain Wang, I know that your military discipline is strict and you don't take a single step from the people! However, you have protected the village for so long, you must let us express some gratitude! This is a long-lasting love, I think even Mr. Liu and
If General Liang knows about it, he will never blame him!"
Lin Xu said very sincerely.
In the village, Ruolan, the village chief, and Yang Min also persuaded Wang Jicai and other soldiers to accept the cotton cloth.
In the end, Wang Jicai and other soldiers were deeply moved by this kind of love, accepted the cotton cloth, and said goodbye under the eyes of everyone! This chapter has been completed!
