After fetching the water, on the way back, the shy Xiuqing lowered her head all the way, not even daring to look at Zhou Ye, let alone keep asking him questions like when she came here.

As for Zhou Ye, he doesn't care...

Well, little girls can be shy at first...it's normal.

When they returned to the camp, everyone had already started cooking...

There is no firewood for you to burn on the grassland. Fortunately, when they came out of Yumen Pass, they brought a few carts of dried cow and horse dung.

At first glance at home, it is impossible to bury a fire to make a meal. At most, it is to boil some water, then soak the hard dough into it, and make do with it.

Zhou Ye and the others brought a lot of jerky beef and mutton, but fortunately they could eat it by roasting it over a fire.

Just when Zhou Ye, Huo An and the others were sitting around the fire, eating jerky and chatting...

A slender figure walked over, holding a bowl of hot millet porridge in his hand...

It was none other than Xiuqing...

"Brother Zhou... This, this is the porridge I made..." Xiuqing said while handing the porridge to Zhou Ye. "Eating jerky alone will hurt your stomach, drink some porridge, and your body will feel much better!!"

"Hahaha..." XN

Seeing Xiuqing's appearance, all the soldiers burst out laughing...

Someone teased Xiuqing deliberately: "Little girl, do you have ours?"

"It's just...it's really unfair to give Lang Jun all the good things!"

"I want porridge too..."

Xiuqing is a little girl from every family, how can she not be shy when faced with these guys' teasing?

With a blushing face, she stuffed the pottery bowl into Zhou Ye's hand, then turned and ran away...

"You guys... do you want to practice with me again?" Zhou Ye turned his head and taunted these single dogs: "If you want a wife, go and marry one, and go as soon as you get paid every day." The prostitutes are wasting money... When will I get a wife?"

"Brothers eat the imperial food, and they do the job of turning around... who dares to marry a wife..."

"Yeah, if one day they die and leave orphans and widows, isn't that a crime?"

"Unless we get to Brother Huo's status, we will consider marrying a wife... Otherwise, we will harm other people's daughters!"

Hearing the complaints from all the brothers, Huo An also sighed helplessly...

Although he has always upheld the principle that peace is paramount, but——not every time he can persuade others to put down their weapons.

Casualties are really inevitable... Therefore, he can also understand the thoughts of his brothers.

Thinking of this, Huo An lightly patted Zhou Ye's shoulder... "Hurry up and get that girl back... She is a good girl, don't let her down..."

"I know!!" Zhou Ye smiled, and handed the millet porridge in his hand to Huo An... stood up, and chased in the direction where Xiuqing was running...

Of course Xiuqing is a good girl...

If she hadn't appeared by herself, she would have become your wife...

While Zhou Ye was thinking, he walked towards Xiuqing...

…………

At this time, Xiuqing had already returned to her family's camp. Her father, Old Man Zhang, was drinking porridge with a bowl...

Seeing his daughter come back, but the rice bowl in her hand is gone... Old man Zhang couldn't help but sighed and said, "Did you give your porridge to Mr. Zhou's family?"

"Hmm..." Xiuqing blushed and nodded...

"Huh..." Old man Zhang sighed, and said, "Daughter... your father has lived for decades, and what he is most proud of in his life is not his ability to read and write, but my eyes for seeing people... Listen to Dad In a word, that gentleman of the Zhou family is not someone we small families can climb up to..."

"Why??" Xiuqing immediately became dissatisfied when she heard her father's words... "Brother Zhou also likes me...why can't we be together??"

"..." Old man Zhang shook his head speechlessly, and said softly, "Daughter, although I don't know what family background that Mr. Zhou's husband is from, but I think this person is not ordinary in terms of clothes or conversation, so I think his family background should be extraordinary... ...Furthermore, Dad has also asked, he is not from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but just acquainted with General Huo Pian, that's why he hangs out together... Listen to Dad's words... Forget about him!!"

Old man Zhang had already discovered the strangeness of his daughter along the way...

As someone who has been there, he found that his daughter always wanted to say a few words to that handsome gentleman of the Zhou family from time to time. Although she often ran back ashamed by those soldiers, she would run over again after a while. ...

Isn't this the beginning of love? ?

Therefore, for the sake of his own daughter, old man Zhang talked a little bit with those soldiers... and got some information.

He knows that Zhou also has a wife, but it's nothing... After all, this era is the era of polygamy, where there are wives in the family, and concubines are allowed.

It's just that old man Zhang doesn't want his daughter to be wronged, and...seeing that Mr. Zhou is so handsome, how many wives and concubines he will have in the future... At that time, after his daughter grows old, won't she have to live alone? ?

However, old man Zhang's persuasion obviously couldn't make Xiuqing give up. "I don't...I will definitely marry Brother Zhou!!"

"If I can marry Xiuqing...then I will be blessed..." A voice came from behind Xiuqing...

"Brother Zhou!!" Hearing this voice, Xiuqing stood up happily... She walked towards Zhou Ye with a smile on her face. "Have you finished your porridge??"

"Yeah!" Of course Zhou Ye nodded... Although he gave Huo An the porridge, he couldn't admit anything when he was asked. "By the way, I'll take you to see something good!!"

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, a smile appeared on Xiuqing's face, "Mmm..."

"Ahem..." Old man Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, coughed dryly, and wanted to remind his daughter not to forget what he just said.

"Daddy!!" Xiuqing turned to look at her father with a sad face...

"..." Seeing his daughter's sad appearance, old man Zhang finally softened his heart, that's all... just leave a good memory for his daughter.

Thinking of this, old man Zhang nodded slightly to Xiuqing, "Don't run away, come back soon..."

"Thank you, Daddy!!" Xiuqing finally let go when she heard her father... A smile appeared on her face.

Excitedly, she thanked her father and walked out while pulling Zhou Ye...

Looking at the backs of the two going away, old man Zhang sighed silently...

If Mr. Zhou's family was an ordinary soldier of the Protectorate, he wouldn't be so persistent... Really, it's as deep as the sea once he enters a rich family - I hope his daughter won't be stupid.
