Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: Oh, Who Is This?

There was no other reason. Principal Chen didn’t want the villagers to know that Ye Jian had a boyfriend. Although the times were different, Shuikou Village was a conservative village. If you didn’t study at the age of 18 or 19, you could get married if you wanted. However, it was wrong to study and date at the same time!

To prevent bad rumors from spreading, Major Xia’s identity had to remain hidden.

Xia Jinyuan had no objections to this. He didn’t want Ye Jian to be affected by the rumors.

After entering the village, Ye Jian saw a familiar villager working in the fields. She smiled and greeted him, “Uncle Hai, the sun is a little hot.”

The villager, who was bending over to pull out plants from the field, heard the voice and immediately straightened his back. He looked at them in disbelief and said, “Ye Jian, Old Chen, hey, hey, why are you back so soon?”

Uncle died yesterday… Why did they come back so soon?

“Yes, I’m back. Uncle Hai, go ahead and do your work.” Ye Jian knew what they were surprised about. Funerals held in the village usually lasted a few days. Grandpa Gen only took one day to be buried. It was normal for Uncle Hai to be surprised.

Uncle Hai was the villager that Ye Jian met on the first day of her rebirth. He even stood up for Ye Jian and scolded Sun Dongqing. He looked at Ye Jian’s face carefully and said, “I’ll come to your house in the afternoon to enjoy the breeze. It’s cooler there.”

At the back of the house was a mountain, a peach forest in front, and a bamboo sea on the left and right. It was the coolest in Summer.

After chatting with Uncle Hai for a while, they met a few villagers who had finished their work and were preparing to go home. They chatted as they walked. After finding out that Uncle Gen left peacefully, the topic became much more relaxed.

“Uncle is fortunate. He suffered when he was young but he enjoyed life when he got old. The military unit took care of him when he was alive. Before passing away, people from his military unit and you sent him off. It’s good. It’s good.”

“That’s right. Ye Jian, you’re so successful now too. Uncle was smiling when he left. It’s obvious that he had nothing to worry about and left in peace.” Another villager replied and said proudly, “You’re the only cadet in our town. People from the neighboring villages purposely came to our village to take a look. Our entire village feels honored.”

Principal Chen smiled. “Ye Jian is shy and doesn’t like to publicize. If you continue, she will feel embarrassed.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? This is how it is. Our village…” Before the villager could finish his sentence, a sharp voice interrupted him.

“This is amazing. It’s Fujun Town’s celebrity. The first cadet is finally willing to come back to the village.” Sun Dongqing, who was standing at the entrance of her courtyard, confirmed that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her. She opened her mouth and didn’t say anything good. “A cadet is so amazing. It’s harder to see a cadet than see my Old Ye. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it looks like she thinks she’s a big shot even before she started school.”

When the villagers heard this, their expressions turned cold.

They exchanged glances and signaled Ye Jian to ignore her. There was nothing to say about this kind of person.

Everyone knew that Sun Dongqing didn’t like Ye Jian the most. The villagers all knew that. However, she had become the wife of a government official. She put on airs and acted like she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. It was irritating.

She never came back to the village but she came back this year. The people outside said that she came back to avoid the heat. Some said that she didn’t want to serve the paralyzed Grandma Ye. In short, there were all kinds of rumors but none of them were good.

“Ignore her. We can’t afford to provoke her but we can avoid her. Ye Jian, walk in the middle.”
