"Old Shen, my sister is a little fatter, a little darker, and a little shorter, but she is very well-behaved and suitable for being a wife." Shen Cheng was not interested in women and regarded the steel gun as his wife, and refused righteously. Until his family came to the military camp to visit relatives, he saw Jiang Nianzi, wearing a beautiful cheongsam, red lips and black hair, and shouted to his comrade: "Brother."
