Old Master Xiao said to his eldest daughter-in-law who had nothing to say: "Shuxian! I know it's very hard for you to take care of everything for this family. I will definitely not cause you any trouble. If I feel unwell, I will call a doctor early.

I'm very happy today. I'll go again next week, don't worry! I'm drinking fruit wine. Xiao Ling said it's made with a secret recipe and is good for both health and wellness.

Xiao Ling? Ling Ran? Zhou Xiang's boyfriend? They were members of the special forces. Tang Ganwen had a lot of stuff in his hands, so it should be fine.

"Okay! Then, Dad, if you feel even a little uncomfortable, you must see a doctor immediately."

"Okay! I understand."

The old man went to rest. Sun Shuxian took her daughter to ask a lot of questions. Knowing that the grandfather and grandson were indeed very happy and that they were very hospitable, she felt relieved.

Next week, bring something with you. Don’t go empty-handed and try to get free food and drinks.

In the evening, Ling Ran and Jin Chao came back and agreed to go to the town to install the boiler.

Zhou thought, “Do people really want to go?”

Ling Ran nodded. "Of course. Your building has so many rooms. We'll cover the round-trip transportation costs. They'll come along for the installation, and we'll also provide food and lodging. It's a big deal!"

"Tell the technicians to bring more spare parts. If they're short, there's nowhere to get them. By the way, ask Fatty Uncle to go check it out and see if they're interested in this business. Huai County is a tough place every winter. Even though they have air conditioners now, not to mention the price, many families can't afford the electricity bill!"

Ling Ran nodded, "Okay! Don't worry! After we finish decorating this yard, we'll go back. You have to be careful."

"good!"

The next day after school, when they returned to their home, they saw that air conditioners had been installed in the east and west rooms.

Ling Ran held her hand and said, "Take good care of you, then I will have the mind to take care of others."

Zhou wanted to shake off his hand. This guy had been flirting with her all the time since he said yesterday that he would be back in two days.

"Okay, I will be careful, take care of myself, and stay at home obediently."

Ling Ran pinched her little face which had grown a little fleshy. He still needed to work harder. After feeding her for so long, there was only such a small effect.

"I understand, little housekeeper."

In just two days, a household boiler was installed in Zhima Hutong. Jin Chao tried it out and the effect was good.

So Ling Ran took the two masters and left the capital on a large truck.

Zhou Xiang stared at the yard in a daze. When that person was there, she didn't feel anything, but when he suddenly left, she felt very uncomfortable.

No one carried her around, and no one made soup or cooked for her anymore.

Facing this yard alone, with his traces everywhere, her heart was filled with longing. Alas! It was said that it was easy to get addicted, right?

I wonder if it’s difficult to quit?

After three lazy days, it was time for another Sunday dinner.

Zhou Xiang took two bottles of fruit wine, took the bus to Zhima Hutong, and asked his elder brother to go with him.

Jiang Weihua showed some concern when he saw Ling Ran didn't come. When he heard that he had returned to Huai County to install a boiler heater for the Zhou family, he felt a little more encouraged. It was good that he still remembered to take care of his Yue family.

Naturally, Mr. Xiao arrived as scheduled with his granddaughter, and brought a lot of gifts, saying that he felt embarrassed to come to the meal empty-handed.

It wasn't until dinner time that he realized Xiao Ling was gone. "Where's Xiao Ling?"

"He went back to his hometown and should be back next week."

"Oh! And, my wine?"

Zhou Xiang pointed at the wine bottle in Senior Jiang's hand and said, "That's what he remembers."

Old Master Xiao nodded, "Xiao Ling is a thoughtful person, little girl, you are blessed!"

Jiang Weihua paused while pouring wine for him and asked, "Why isn't he so lucky to have found such a wonderful girl like my niece?"

Old Master Xiao came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Xiao Ling is so lucky to have found a girl as capable and talented as Xiao Zhou. This is the blessing his family has accumulated over several lifetimes."

Jiang Weihua was satisfied and poured him a full glass.

Old Master Xiao laughed heartily. People who drink like to have their wine poured for them, but he especially likes his glass to be filled to the brim. It makes him feel that the person pouring the wine is content and hopes that he is well fed and well-drinking.

Zhou Xiang chuckled. This old man Xiao’s lifeblood could be controlled by food and drink.

After eating and drinking, he took away the remaining half bottle of wine and said, "I'm going to take this back to satisfy my craving. If I want to drink more, I'll have to wait another week."

Jiang Weihua really wanted to roll his eyes like his little niece. Did he agree to get together again next week?

After class on Monday, Zhou Xiang walked out of the school gate. As usual, she looked towards the place where the big guy usually stood. No, the big guy who always took her backpack and held her hand had not come back yet.

She returned to their home alone.

Cook alone, eat alone.

She decided that when he returned to the team, she didn't want to stay here alone, it was too uncomfortable.

After class on Tuesday, when it was getting dark, she went home alone, but she always felt like she was being watched.

So she turned in another direction, walked around a few times, hid in a corner, and changed her clothes.

After coming out, he walked with his head held high, and the feeling of being watched was gone.

Wednesday was still the second big class in the afternoon. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she met Yang Ji. As soon as they met, Yang Ji put his arm around her, and immediately, she felt weak all over.

Damn it, you damn Yang Ji, you’re courting death.

The powerless Zhou Xiang could only be dragged away by Yang Ji. After a few steps, Ping Zhengping caught up and held Zhou Xiang's other side.

No one noticed anything unusual about the three people.

Not long after they started walking, Zhou Xiang was stuffed into a van on the roadside by two people.

As soon as the three people got into the car and closed the door, the car started. Zhou Xiang, who was let go by the two, was unable to control his body and immediately fell backwards due to inertia.

The middle row of seats in this crappy van doesn't even have backrests?

Zhou Xiang was immediately defeated.

Seeing her miserable state, Yang Ji did not help her up. Instead, he laughed out loud, "Zhou Xiang, do you know what you look like now? Like a stray dog!"

You are the one who has lost his home. Your family is already in a complete mess, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me?

However, she was unable to answer. She felt that the drug she had taken was no worse than the one Captain Tang had taken. Not only was she unable to work, she couldn't even speak.

I don't know if the powerlessness in space can do this.

Ping Zhengping helped Zhou Xiang up and carried her to the back seat.

Zhou Xiang felt that it was worse than the folding arch bridge just now! Letting this person who might be a devil from the little R country hold her was so disgusting.

The car drove towards the suburbs and everyone in the car stopped talking.

The car drove into a village and stopped at a house at the end of the village. Zhou Xiang was carried out by Ping Zhengping again. She seriously suspected that this man was taking advantage of her because he carried her all the way into the yard. The driver also got out of the car and followed in.

The yard was very ordinary. Zhou Xiang was too weak to turn his head and could only see what was in front of him.

It was not until they entered the main room that Zhou Xiang was placed on a reclining chair.

Yang Ji brought a rope and tried to tie her up, but Ping Zhengping stopped him, "She's already in this state, how can she still run away?"

"Who knows? She's cunning and cruel."
