In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhou Xiang's eyes were wandering, his thoughts drifting back to the time when he was looking for Luo Mingyuan. "..., For the past three years, I have felt bad, always wondering if he would still be alive if I hadn't awakened his memory.
Or, if I tell him about my abilities in advance, can I cure his poison? A glorious warrior, who was used as an experimental subject and endured the humiliation, why can't he have the chance to continue living?
Luo Shaoqiang's face was already covered with tears. Yes! He also wanted to know why God didn't give his father a chance to live?
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran just watched him cry quietly, accompanying him in silence.
After a long while, Luo Shaoqiang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "Xiang Xiang, sister, you don't have to feel guilty. From my impression and grandma's usual words, I can know my father's temper. He is definitely a person who would rather live standing than die on his knees, not to mention that he is a soldier!
He didn't let you tell us because he definitely didn't want us to feel bad for him, and he also wanted us to remember him as someone who died gloriously in battle, rather than someone who was incompetent and tortured for 20 years."
At this point, Luo Shaoqiang's tears fell again. Twenty years of torture, a broken body, the poison hidden within it. Death was his only release, right? He himself would have preferred to die on the battlefield rather than in a foreign land, right?
"His remains?"
"Burn it, it's poisonous, and throw it into the sea." Zhou Xiang was sure that it was impossible to take the ball out.
"Well, let him drift freely with the sea!" Luo Shaoqiang calmed down a lot. "Thinking about my sister, I don't know if there will be any follow-up to this matter. I plan to tell my sister everything in detail to prevent her from being provoked again.
During those four years, my father didn't help you, but instead caused trouble for you and your brother-in-law. I feel bad too. Our Luo family owes you a debt that we will never be able to repay in this lifetime, and I don't want my sister to be taken advantage of."
Luo Shaoqiang was most worried that his sister would be successfully provoked. If that happened, it would be truly ungrateful. Moreover, he had gotten to know Sister Xiangxiang over the years. She was a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. The uncle whom she had rescued with so much difficulty was inexplicably kicked out of the house. There must be a reason for this, or perhaps it had touched Sister Xiangxiang's bottom line.
"Okay," Zhou Xiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "But I have one more thing to tell you, so you don't hear anything from others."
"Think about it, sister, you say."
Luo Shaoqiang thought nothing could scare him anymore. After all, his father, who had been dead for 20 years, had been taken abroad as an experimental subject. But the next moment, he was slapped in the face. He stood up in shock and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, my uncle Jiang Weizhong is the director of the laboratory," Zhou Xiang looked at Luo Shaoqiang who jumped up in shock, "I don't know if he has ever laid hands on your father, but he is a peripheral director and can't get in touch with the core. This is one of the reasons why the higher-ups are confident that I can bring him back, but the mastermind of the laboratory is completely gone.
I told you this because I'm worried that the person who tried to sow discord between us might bring up Jiang Wei Zhong when he failed. Whether you want to retaliate against Jiang Wei Zhong or not is none of my business.
The memories of the laboratory in his mind have been erased. These are secrets that cannot be revealed to outsiders. If someone here hadn't leaked the secrets to you, I wouldn't have told you either."
Luo Shaoqiang rubbed his face vigorously, thinking about his sister's attitude towards Jiang Weizhong, even calling him by his name. Maybe there was some conflict in the laboratory? He couldn't ask any more questions. He knew too many secrets.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiangxiang. No matter what anyone says, I won't be fooled. Everything in the lab is confidential, and that person wouldn't dare reveal too much. No matter what anyone tells me, I'll insist that my father died on the battlefield. If anyone tells me these nonsense again, I'll report them to the police and accuse them of defaming the honor of a soldier."
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiang's eyes flashed with tears. "I feel much better now that you said that."
After seeing Luo Shaoqiang off, Ling Ran called the team leader. The laboratory's secrets had been leaked, and it was leaked by an unimportant person.
They found Luo Mingyuan only after they rushed out of the laboratory. They just questioned some people in the laboratory, and this could be used by others. Since it has been leaked and General Han's identity is suspicious, the matter of Luo Mingyuan's body being taken away should be investigated thoroughly. He originally planned to ignore this matter.
It was difficult to explain over the phone, so he tricked the captain into coming by using the excuse of continuing to invest money in the fund.
Before the team leader came, he urged Zhou Kai to go back. He had a week-long Spring Festival holiday, but he didn't even go back until the tenth day.
Zhou Kai had no choice but to put his beloved son down, picked up his bag and returned to the team.
The team leader arrived at Zhou's house on the 14th. Ling Ran took him to the health garden for a tour. After watching the lantern festival on the 15th, they hurried back.
As the first month of the year passed and February began, the weather gradually became warmer. Guan Bo chose to move on February 19th, which was March 15th in the Gregorian calendar.
In the blink of an eye, the day arrived. Only Guo Jia and Xu Tong were left in the Zhou residence. Apart from the third brother who devoted himself to the health garden, and the eldest brother who often went to the county town to visit Teacher Mao because he was busy participating in the National Art Exhibition, the rest of the people went to Guanjia Village, including Professor Chu.
Today is Sunday and Professor Chu has no classes. For more than a year, Guan Bo's family has lived next door to him, so he must attend the party.
Guanjia Village, oh no, it is now called Guanjia New Village. Guanjia New Village is a bustling and new place. Every household lives in a villa, and the roads in the village have been paved with cement roads by collective funds.
Everyone's face was filled with happy and cheerful smiles. All this was because Guan Boxun's goddaughter had included Guanjia Village in the town construction instead of handing it over to the county new village office.
Therefore, there are two auspicious days for moving into a new house in February. The first one is the seventh day, which is chosen by the old village chief, and the second one is the nineteenth day, which is chosen by Guan Bo. Everyone consciously lines up at the back.
Today, all the villagers came to Guan Bo's house to have a drink and help out, and they all brought a lot of things with them. Guan Bo, who never stopped smiling, asked the kitchen helpers to pick some of the things everyone had sent as ingredients and increase the portion sizes of the dishes.
When Zhou Xiang and his group arrived, they were carrying river seafood, so there was one more dish on the menu.
"Godfather and godmother, it's an auspicious day for you to move into a new home, and may good fortune be with you." Zhou Xiang handed over a big red envelope and gave his blessing.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Aunt Guan took the red envelope handed over by her goddaughter. It seemed that she could only say the word "good" and could not find any other words to express her happiness today.
Zhou's father also handed over a red envelope. His relationship with Guan Bo had actually taken a step forward because of his little girl. After getting rid of those drinking buddies over the years, it seemed that this was the only guy around him who was competing with him for his little girl, so he cherished her especially.
Professor Chu also handed over a red envelope and said, "Congratulations on your happy life and all the best."
"Thank you, thank you!" Aunt Guan took the red envelope and thanked repeatedly.
Guan Bo led everyone to the first floor of the villa, where there was a main table and two main guest tables. Professor Chu was arranged to sit at the main seat at the main table. Professor Chu thought that everyone present today was from near the town, so he accepted this seat.
