This is very detailed

Xu Manzhi slept well for a few more days.

She specially selected two plump fish and about ten loaches from the bucket and sent them to the military area, asking the guard at the gate to give them to Yan Lin.

Yan Lin went out to recruit soldiers.

I timed it perfectly and returned at exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Manzhi said with a smile, "Brother, thank you. Please tell him that I caught these myself. They taste great. I couldn't bear to give them to anyone else, so I only gave him some."

The young man blushed instantly.

Xu Manzhi was beautiful and eloquent; she immediately declared, "Yan Lin is my future lover..."

He has never entertained a very bold young woman before.

The first time.

So, when the group returned at three o'clock, the young comrade shoved the things into Yan Lin's hands, crossed his legs, and reported, "Comrade Yan Lin, this is from your wife. She said she gave a lot to others, but only a little to you..."

"What do you mean by that?" Zou Xiaozhou jumped out of the car.

He was the first to disagree.

My sister-in-law would say such hurtful things.

Even if someone is a fool, they should still say a few words if the gift is small but the sentiment is deep.

The young comrade's tongue is tied in knots.

He pondered for a long time before stammering, "Comrade Xu Manzhi said, said, she couldn't bear to send it away..."

He was too shy to remember what happened next.

"Brother Yan, why don't you go there yourself? I don't think Xiao Fenjiao is that kind of person."

"Yes, Brother Yan, go ahead, go ahead, Little Pink Banana has brought all the fish."

"Brother Yan, you're a grown man, you need to take the initiative."

The group of brothers all smiled, but there was an indescribable envy in their eyes.

Xu Manzhi was beautiful.

And gentle as water.

He was fair and open in his dealings with people, and made no attempt to hide his admiration for Yan Lin.

You couldn't find a girl like that even with a lantern.

I ran into Brother Yan.

He absolutely cannot miss this village.

Yan Lin's cheeks flushed red.

His pupils were burning with fervor, and it took him a long time to give the order to return to the unit. He planned to go find Xu Manzhi again that night, so as not to delay the work of the troops.

The atmosphere in the Jiang family was one of utter mourning.

Xu Manzhi set up a stove in the backyard, lit a fire, and set up a large iron pot to cook a fish soup.

Right now, she's the only one with a really good appetite.

After Xiaoxian passed away, Gu Meiyun has been cooking for the Jiang family ever since.

She was too weak to eat, so she bought some cooked dumplings from a state-run restaurant and put them on the table, but no one touched them.

Xu Manzhi didn't stand on ceremony.

Her fish soup was still a while away, so she took a large bowl, poured a bowl of dumplings into it, and ate it with relish in front of everyone.

"snort--"

Gu Meiyun felt a tightness in her chest, made a nasal sound, and went back into her room.

The others weren't much better off.

When Yan Lin brought over a box of cooked fish soup, the water in Xu Manzhi's pot was boiling.

He arrived weary from his journey.

Upon seeing Xu Manzhi, his eyes softened, and his expression revealed an indescribable joy.

"Wow, your fish soup is so milky white! How can the fish not smell bad? Waaah, I'm so happy! How did I meet such a wonderful man like you?"

Xu Manzhi ate while praising it loudly.

Suddenly, Yan Lin didn't even know where to put his feet.

He scratched his head, his neck turning red and thick: "Your fish are very plump, that's why they taste so good..."

He really wanted to ask, "Who did you give all the fish to?"

But if it slips to your lips, you swallow it.

He found it difficult to speak.

He would feel uncomfortable if she felt that he didn't trust her.

"No, no, these fish are wild. Without your magical hands, they would taste very fishy and smelly. I caught some of them myself, and some I even caught myself. I couldn't bear to give them away, so I only gave you two. I didn't expect them to end up in my mouth again," Xu Manzhi said with a smile.

She finally understood.

This man doesn't covet her food.

What a good man.

"Really? Really?" Yan Lin's eyes shone with joy.

"Of course."

Xu Manzhi talked to him for a while, telling him about her experiences in the Guangshui production team. She even took him to the backyard to cook loach. After they ate until they were full, she let him go home.

No one from the Jiang family came out.

They kept their doors and windows closed.

This terrifying and eerie atmosphere lasted for a month.

Jiang Mingda told them in despair that the patrol team had not seen any groups of people going out at night, nor any vehicles driving around. At most, there were people riding bicycles, but nothing else.

The bandits must have been lying in wait for a long time before they dared to attack the Jiang family.

With so much money to be transported out, it would require either large trucks or cars; you can't possibly ride a bicycle through the streets and alleys.

This is not scientific!

When all sorts of investigations, both overt and covert, yielded no results, Jiang Mingda was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Meiyun also lost her motivation to work and took a week off to rest.

Only Jiang and Jun were busy at work, returning home exhausted.

Jiang Pengyue cried all day long, thinking about how the Jiang family's wealth had vanished. She was very worried that her marriage to Zhou Xiangqun would not be conducted in a respectable manner...

Her crying made the Jiang family feel even worse.

This oppressive atmosphere only came to a temporary end when she fainted in the backyard and was taken to the hospital by Gu Meiyun.

The doctor pulled Gu Meiyun aside and said, "Comrade Gu, your daughter... is pregnant."

Gu Meiyun suddenly slapped the doctor across the face.

She put her hands on her hips and said, "My Yueyue is a virgin. You have to take responsibility for saying such things. How will she ever get married?"

The doctor was helpless.

She handed the test results to Gu Meiyun, covered her face and said, "That's why I whispered to you, I didn't make this up, she should be a month or so pregnant."

A month or two?

Gu Meiyun suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiangqun had taken Yueyue and Xu Manzhi to play outside the city for two days last time. Could the child in her belly be Zhou Xiangqun's?

Once she figured it out, she wasn't afraid anymore.

But since it concerned Yueyue's reputation, she pulled the doctor aside, apologizing and thanking her profusely. She even took off her gold earring and stuffed it into the doctor's pocket, saying, "Thank you, sister. Please keep this a secret for me."

Jiang Pengyue had already woken up.

She heard everything clearly.

She panicked instantly, feeling ashamed from head to toe.

Did you get it on the first try?

How can it be so accurate?

Isn't it said that pregnancy is quite difficult for women?

After the two returned to the Jiang family, Gu Meiyun slammed the door shut and gave them a good scolding. But after she finished scolding them, she said, "Since you are pregnant with Xiang Qun's child, your belly can't hold on any longer. Let's get married this month."

Jiang Pengyue could not obtain what she desired.

She also worried that if she got married while pregnant, she would be bombarded with gossip and criticism.

“I’ll have your dad talk to Xiang Qun,” Gu Meiyun said.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Mom.” Jiang Pengyue said.

Gu Meiyun went to Jiang Mingda's office.

As it happened, Jiang Hejun was also inside, discussing the summer work arrangements. When he saw her come in, he asked her what was wrong, and said that if it was a personal matter, they could talk about it when they got home.

Gu Meiyun hurriedly said, "Yueyue's matter is extremely urgent."

"What's wrong with Yueyue?" the father and son asked in unison.

"Yueyue is pregnant!"
