Guan Tongtong often came to the He family to talk to Su Ruo. She had met He Zongxi several times before. When she saw it was him, she got up and opened the locked gate of the yard.

But for some reason, Guan Tongtong was a little afraid of He Zongxi. She always felt that he was kind, but the arrogance and aloofness that he inadvertently revealed, and the half-smile in his eyes when he glanced at her always made people feel uncomfortable.

He Zongxi came in and greeted Guan Tongtong and Su Ruo. Aunt Zhang, who heard the noise, came out.

She was naturally pleasantly surprised to see He Zongxi, and said, "Oh, why did you come back without saying hello this time? Is there something going on at the farm again?"

Because every time He Zongxi came back, he was either working on seeds, spinning machines, or talking to Lin Yumin about cotton planting and going to see Professor Yu Ling...

Of course, Zhang Ma secretly hopes that there will be more and more such things...

He Zongxi smiled and said nothing, waiting for Aunt Zhang to finish her talk.

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she beckoned him into the house, saying, "Hey, come in quickly, it's freezing outside. Look at the dark clouds, I'm afraid it's going to snow."

Then he said to Su Ruo and Guan Tongtong, "Don't sit outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Having said that, he went to help Su Ruo.

Su Ruo stood up and responded.

Guan Tongtong said, "Auntie Zhang, it's getting late. I have to go home tonight. If I go back late, my mom will get mad again. So I'm leaving now."

Having said that, he ran away.

Aunt Zhang glanced at Guan Tongtong's back as she walked away quickly, and exclaimed, "Ouch!" She said, "Hey, this girl, why did she leave so quickly? Didn't we ask her to stay for dinner?"

Aunt Zhang likes to talk.

I also like talkative little girls.

Guan Tongtong is talkative and hardworking. Every time she comes, in addition to talking to Su Ruo, she also goes to the kitchen to help Zhang Ma, which is exactly what Zhang Ma wants.

Before she knew that Guan Tongtong was dating Instructor Yu, she had thought about introducing Guan Tongtong to He Zongxi... Guan Tongtong was so scared that she shook her head like a rattle and said to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, I like people who are honest and listen to me and let me do whatever I want. I don't like people like Brother He."

Even though she was good-looking, she felt uneasy when she looked at her.

Mother Zhang didn't like to hear this.

Isn’t their Young Master Zong Xi honest?

But as soon as this question popped up in her mind, she immediately wilted... No matter how good she was at lying, she couldn't say that her Master Zong Xi was "honest" and could be "tormented" by a little girl like Guan Tongtong... Besides, he hated noisy people the most.

So I can only give up on this thought.

And Yu Ling also often comes to see Su Ruo.

Aunt Zhang thinks that Yu Ling is a good girl, generous and straightforward, and a joy to look at. Maybe because she is older, she does not have the childishness of Guan Tongtong, and is much more mature and transparent.

He is also closer in age to their young master Zong Xi.

Aunt Zhang wanted to introduce Yu Ling to He Zongxi again.

But one time when Lin Yumin was there, she saw how quickly Yu Ling confronted Lin Yumin, while their young master Zong Xi didn't even raise his eyelids, and she knew that there was no hope again.

It is absolutely impossible for their Young Master Zong Xi to be so happy when being scolded by a woman... She has never seen it before.

Zhang Ma originally thought that her young master Zong Xi was a perfect person, but after a few times, she finally had to admit with a painful heart that he actually had serious character flaws...

These days...honest people are still popular.

Let’s get back to the present moment.

Guan Tongtong left, and Aunt Zhang was thinking about something. The yard became quiet, and He Zongxi said, "Well, the cotton harvested this year on the farm has been spun, and it won't get a good price if I sell it directly in the county, so I went back to the provincial capital to see if I can get a good price. There's not much work on the farm right now, so Director Lin approved some more leave for me."

Actually, this is not a big deal.

The main reason was that Su Ruo's due date had arrived, and Han Zecheng was not at home at the moment, so he felt a little worried. He was afraid that only Zhang Ma and his mother were at home, and they might not be able to take care of them if something happened, so he planned to come back and live for a while.

After entering the house, Aunt Zhang went to the kitchen and brought two bowls of hot soup to He Zongxi and Su Ruo. The two drank it first to warm themselves up.

He Zongxi drank two sips and asked, "Auntie Zhang, has Zhu Chang come to visit during this period?"

This was also the reason why he was worried and hurried back.

Su Ruo’s situation is special now, and he can’t afford to have any accidents.

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "Where does he get the guts from? Didn't he learn enough from the last time? If he dares to come again, I'll pour boiling water on him!"

It turned out that Zhu Chang had suffered a setback at the machinery factory last time, and when he heard from Secretary Lin that He Zongxi actually came in a military vehicle, he felt uneasy and began to investigate He Zongxi by all means.

Fangyuan Road was just Aunt He's villa. He didn't know at first that the He family now lived in a small Western-style building. So he asked the workshop director who had seen He Zongxi's letter of introduction and learned about the Red Star Farm where He Zongxi worked. He then went to the farm to inquire and found out that He Zongxi was doing very well in the Red Star Farm, which made him even more uneasy.

He was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he wrote a "mass" letter of denunciation and went to find his friends in the Revolutionary Committee.

As a result, the friend took a look at his letter of accusation, and then pushed it back to him, saying solemnly, "Now they are looking into old cases, investigating those who used the name of class struggle to fish in troubled waters and enrich themselves. Think about the things you did in the past. You didn't avoid them carefully, but deliberately stepped forward. Aren't you thinking that you are not dying fast enough?"

We have been friends for many years, so who doesn’t know each other’s background?

After that, he added, "Alas, you don't know since you are in the factory, but many people in our unit have been investigated... Even I am terrified."

But I can't leave even if I want to.

Zhu Chang left in fear.

He stayed quiet for a while and didn't dare to move, but as luck would have it, one day he happened to bump into Zhang Ma when she went out to buy something.

He felt uneasy, and for some unknown reason he followed Zhang Ma and found Fangyuan Road.

He hid nearby for a few days, and then he saw Aunt Zhang, Aunt He, and the little boy who followed He Zongxi last time all living in this small western-style building. He was even more surprised, and ran to ask people nearby, and they said that the family of an army officer lived here...

Before he could recover from the shock, two police officers from the police station suddenly arrived and arrested him.

The police said he had been looking around Fangyuan Road for several days, and asked people nearby about who lived in Fangyuan Road. It was clear that he had bad intentions. He either wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were no men at home and only women and children, and wanted to steal things, or he wanted to harm the families of soldiers. He was also forced to ask if he was a spy... He was detained in the police station for several days before being released. When he was released, he was warned that he was now a key surveillance target and told not to go near Fangyuan Road in the future...

This is what Aunt Zhang was talking about.

He Zongxi hummed and said nothing more.

Even if he doesn't come to find him, he will find him sooner or later.

Aunt Zhang continued, "Let's not talk about that dirty thing. It's not good to ruin our good mood. Hey, Zongxi, I heard on the radio that the country has started to let the educated youth return to the city. How is the situation over there? You have a good relationship with the head of the forest farm. Can you talk to him and let you return to the city?"

After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, even Su Ruo put down her spoon and turned to look at him.

He Zongxi stirred the soup and said, "Why come back? It's good over there too. Now the policy has been relaxed and there are more things to do.

Besides, I can come back whenever I want. My sister-in-law and Guoguo are at home, and you will have a little one to keep you busy in the future. Do you still need me? ”

He has no plans to come back for the time being.

Aunt Zhang was just asking, because Young Master Zong Xi had his own ideas and she had no control over them.

If you hear her say anything, you should find someone first...

******

Aunt Zhang had a sharp eye and it snowed heavily that night.

It was still a heavy snowfall.

When I woke up the next morning, everything outside had turned white. The road and the yard were connected into one, making it difficult to distinguish them.

Guoguo jumped for joy and rushed out early in the morning to find his friends to play in the yard.

Although the weather is cold, looking at the white scenery outside and hearing the children's laughter really warms my heart.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Children like snow. Who knows, this kid might come out as soon as he sees snow."

He added, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, which is a good omen."

Everyone was happy, and Su Ruo even cut out a few snowflake paper-cuts for Zhang Ma to paste on.

However, this good mood was dampened when an unexpected guest came in the morning.

This person was none other than Su Ruo's adoptive father, Su Jianzhou.

Ever since Su Ruo took back her mother's belongings from the Su family, she has completely severed ties with the Su family.

Su Jianzhou did ask about Su Ruo a few times when he was talking to Yuan Bocheng on the phone. He wanted to come and see her when he heard that Su Ruo was pregnant, but Shu Yuelan told him that Su Ruo didn't want to see him. If he really wanted to do it for her good, he should not come and provoke her. If something happened, there was no telling what Han Zecheng would do.

At first, Su Jianzhou was still unwilling to give up, but then his own things came one after another, and he no longer had time to bother with Su Ruo.

First, Su Jia disappeared.

Su Jia was in a car accident. After she came out of the hospital, she left a letter saying that she knew she had done a lot of wrong things and was too ashamed to stay in Qingcheng or Nancheng any longer, so she decided to go south and then disappeared. No one knew where she went.

Because of this, Lin Wanhua went to him and cried every day, saying that Su Jia was a girl, going south alone, and she didn't know what would happen to her...

Su Jia did a lot of disgusting things, and Su Jianzhou began to feel angry and disgusted with her.

But no matter how angry he was, he really treated her as his daughter and raised her since she was a child. What's more, compared to Su Ruo, Su Jia was sweeter and more filial. Over the years, she had done countless things that touched him... Of course, there was an element of flattery, but they also really had a good relationship.

So Su Jianzhou felt a little uncomfortable when Lin Wanhua came to cry every day.

However, three parts of Lin Wanhua's crying to Su Jianzhou were for Su Jia, and seven parts were for herself.

She just found an opportunity to arouse Su Jianzhou's sympathy and his old feelings for her.

I have to say, it is quite useful.

At least the relationship between the two became vague and unclear again.

Not long after this incident, Lin Wanhua's eldest brother Lin Zhihe was sentenced. When the charges were announced, Lin Wanhua's sister-in-law and her family thought that Lin Wanhua and her daughter had implicated her eldest brother, so they ran to Lin Wanhua and beat her up. Lin Wanhua was seriously injured and hospitalized, and Su Jianzhou couldn't just ignore her... after all, the two of them had a son.

As a result, Su Jianzhou had to go to the hospital every few days.

Just when he was worrying about things at home, something happened at school again.

He was dismissed from his position as principal.

Because there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

Lin Wanhua's eldest brother was sentenced, and many people knew what crime he had committed.

Even if Su Ruo didn't say anything at this time and the Yuan family didn't pursue it, Lin Wanhua and her daughter could no longer hide what they had done to Principal Yuan and Su Ruo.

Soon the whole school knew about it.

Naturally, the whole school was in an uproar.

Su Jianzhou said that he had divorced Lin Wanhua.

Haha, divorce is a good excuse, but do you think that after the divorce everyone will forgive you and allow you to continue to be the principal?

Didn’t I see that you took leave every day to go to the hospital to look after Lin Wanhua because she was hospitalized?

Countless letters of complaint flew like snowflakes to the relevant government departments. Among them, they reported not only the evil things that Lin Wanhua and her daughter had done to Principal Yuan, but also the various things that Lin Wanhua had done over the years in her capacity as the wife of the vice-principal and principal of the technical school.

Su Jianzhou was put under investigation.

Although it was finally discovered that most of the things were done by Lin Wanhua and he had never accepted any major bribes, which did not meet the standards for imprisonment, Su Jianzhou's character was seriously questioned. So even though he did not go to jail, he certainly could not get the position of principal.

"Principal Su, it's snowing so heavily outside. I wonder why Principal Su suddenly came to visit?"

Su Ruo looked at Su Jianzhou, who seemed to have aged several decades, and asked.

Ever since she got back her mother's belongings, she hadn't cared about the Su family's affairs, so she really didn't know that Su Jianzhou had been dismissed from his post.

When Su Jianzhou heard her call "Principal Su" in a clear voice, he almost lost his temper. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions.
