Maybe, maybe not...

Ruan Mengmeng was not quite sure either.

In fact, there are many such people in later generations, but because people have more entertainment activities, they seem less gossipy.

And aren’t the keyboard warriors of later generations more terrifying than this kind of gossipy woman?

"You naughty monkey..." Bai Rong was helpless, looking at the two children and shaking her head and laughing.

"Let's go home." After running all morning, the two children must be tired.

At this time in the past, they would still be taking a nap at home.

Unlike today, when I ran a long lap and got up so early in the morning.

"Yeah." The two responded at the same time and followed Bai Rong's pace to rush home.

When I got home, I found that Ma Dahe was at home.

"Uncle, when did you come back?" Zhang Xinxin walked forward happily and stared at Ma Dahe weeding the vegetable garden.

"It was almost noon, and I saw that you were not at home, so I made something to eat." Ma Dahe had been on a business trip for about half a month. As soon as he finished his work, he rushed back home.

As if he had thought of something, he stopped what he was doing and stood up. "By the way, have you had lunch yet?"

"We have eaten at a state-owned restaurant. My mother also packed two dishes for us to eat in the evening." Zhang Xinxin was very satisfied with her experience today. Her eyes sparkled when she talked about it.

"Well, you don't feel uncomfortable anymore, right?" Ma Dahe asked about her morning sickness during pregnancy.

"It's okay, I may eat it now." Zhang Xinxin smiled like a little fox, and was extremely satisfied with his current situation.

No more suffering from morning sickness.

You can eat whatever you want, and other than a bigger belly, there won't be any effects.

"That's good. I came back from a business trip and brought you some local specialties. You two can try them later and see if you like them." As he said that, Ma Dahe threw the weeds in his hand aside and bent down to continue pulling weeds.

"Thank you, uncle." Regardless of whether he likes the food or not, this is a thoughtful gesture from his uncle, and Zhang Xinxin is very grateful.

I am grateful that besides being busy, my uncle still remembers my two best friends.

When Bai Rong saw Ma Dahe coming home in the evening, she was so happy that she cooked a few more dishes.

Cumin lamb, beef brisket with potatoes, beer duck, stir-fried vegetables, beans and minced meat...

Plus the two meat dishes brought back from the state-owned restaurant during the day, braised pork and twice-cooked pork, a total of seven dishes, plus a lean meatball soup.

The staple food is rice.

The meal was ready and served on the table, but Zhang Weiguo still hadn't come back.

"Dad, maybe something happened in the army and he was delayed." Zhang Xinxin was afraid that Bai Rong would worry, so he hurried to comfort her.

"It shouldn't be. When your father left this morning, he said he would come back early tonight." Bai Rong frowned, feeling unsure, wondering what Zhang Weiguo was busy with.

He usually speaks his mind and never tells lies or cheats. If he says he will come back early, he will definitely come back early.

But now... I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already half past seven. It was dark outside, and there was no sign of Zhang Weiguo.

"Mom, how about I call them?" We have a landline at home, and we also have the number for the army.

But Bai Rong usually wouldn't call the army unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Well...that's fine." Waiting like this was not a solution. Bai Rong thought about it and finally nodded.

Seeing Bai Rong give in, Zhang Sinian walked to the phone and dialed his father's number.

After a few beeps, a man's voice rang out from the line. "Hello, who's this?"

"It's me, Zhang Sinian. Please answer Chief Zhang's call for me..."

“…..”

“……..”

I don’t know what the two people said on the phone, but Zhang Sinian’s brows were getting tighter and tighter, and finally his face was so dark that water could drip out of it.

After a moment, Zhang Sinian hung up the phone amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

"Something happened in my hometown." He said after thinking for a while.

"Something happened?" Bai Rong was puzzled. She didn't have many relatives in her hometown, so what could have happened?

"The old man is dead." He was referring to his grandfather Zhang Tiemao.

"Old man?" Not only Bai Rong was unable to react for a moment, but everyone else was also confused.

"The old man died, and an urgent telegram was sent to the army. Fortunately, my father found out early and stopped it." As for what was written on it, needless to say, it was not good.

As for Yu Lanhua's family, none of them are good people. How can a dog spit out ivory?

Not only Bai Rong didn't believe it, no one here believed it.

Even Tian Kai had witnessed the shamelessness of that family.

"Is your dad okay?" Bai Rong suddenly stood up from the stool and asked excitedly.

"Mom, don't get excited. Dad will be fine." Ruan Mengmeng, who was closest to her, quickly took her arm and gently supported her body, fearing that she would faint again if she got excited.

After a moment, she secretly glared at Zhang Sinian opposite her.

Can't you just talk nicely? Look how scared you are.

Receiving her gaze, Zhang Sinian touched his nose awkwardly, "Mom, don't worry, my dad is fine and will be back later."

He quickly comforted his mother.

"Yes, Mom, Dad will be fine." Zhang Xinxin also hurried over to comfort her.

That damn old family is haunting us like leeches, so annoying.

If murder wasn't illegal in this world and the situation at the time didn't allow for killing the person instantly, she would have wiped out their entire family long ago.

This whole family does not include their eldest wife.

If her father Zhang Weiguo didn't look 50% similar to Zhang Tiemao, she would have doubted whether her father was their biological son.

In fact, Zhang Weiguo is really the biological son of the old couple.

Even though they were very biased, they were not nice to Zhang Weiguo at all.

But the facts are the facts, they cannot be erased or abandoned.

A few years ago, when Yu Lanhua passed away, Bai Rong did not let her two children, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law go back with her.

The old couple went back to their hometown to attend the funeral.

Zhang Baoguo and Lihua are not an easy couple to get along with.

It was okay for the adults to suffer a little injustice, but she didn't want her two children, daughter-in-law and son-in-law to suffer as well.

If a woman in the countryside dies first, she cannot be buried directly in the ancestral tomb. She has to wait until her husband dies before she can be buried together with him.

So when Yu Lanhua went there, the funeral was held, but the coffin was not placed in the ancestral tomb.

We found another place to bury it.

When my mother-in-law passed away, her two children did not go back. At that time, they could say that the children were in college and had no time to go back.

Although the relatives wanted to find fault with this, they were still able to get by on the surface because of Zhang Weiguo's intimidation.

Anyway, their family is not away from their hometown all year round, so those people can't do anything to them.

Now that the old man is gone, and after so many years, it seems a bit too fake to use the children's college education as an excuse.
