Huang Jianguo returned the tractor to the factory and paid for the fuel before heading to the Xu family's house.
Huang Jianguo left home very early this morning, before the rest of the Huang family had gotten up, so he hasn't had breakfast yet.
Halfway there, Huang Jianguo heard his stomach growling. He remembered that Huang Qinqin had mentioned that there was a family selling breakfast in an alley not far from the Xu family's house.
It tastes good and isn't expensive. I secretly make some every day to sell, only to regular customers, to supplement my household income.
Having just arrived near that alley, Huang Jianguo turned and prepared to buy something to eat.
Because Xu Junhui had brought Huang Jianguo here once before, he was able to buy breakfast without any trouble, thinking it wouldn't be appropriate to bring it to Xu's house to eat.
He asked the woman selling breakfast, "Auntie, may I sit on your steps and eat before I leave?"
The old lady smiled kindly and nodded: "Of course, would you like me to pour you a glass of water?"
The people who come to her house to buy breakfast are mostly her neighbors of more than ten years or people who live nearby. The old lady is not afraid that they will harm her.
"Thank you, ma'am, but no need."
Huang Jianguo sat on the steps eating a steamed bun, looking around as he ate. He noticed that the houses in the alley seemed to be large courtyards, housing many families.
But as he looked, Huang Jianguo felt like he saw Chen Ming, and Chen Ming was pulling and tugging at a woman he didn't recognize.
Since Huang Jianguo had only met Chen Ming a few times, he wasn't sure if he was seeing things, so he pointed at Chen Ming and asked the old lady, "Auntie, I'd like to ask, does that man over there also live around here?"
The old woman looked in the direction he was pointing, and after a long while, she replied, "He shouldn't live here, at least not before."
"It's only in the last ten days or so that I've occasionally seen him come here. The woman standing next to him is someone who just moved here recently."
"What, young man, do you know them?"
Hearing what the old lady said, Huang Jianguo felt that this person was probably Chen Ming. He had a bad feeling. Wasn't this Chen Ming Xu Junhui's uncle?
How could he be seen arguing and touching other women outside?
"I don't recognize her, but she looks a bit like me. I must have mistaken her for someone else. Thank you, ma'am!"
After thanking the old lady, Huang Jianguo stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth and hurriedly ran towards the Xu family's house.
......
In the Xu family courtyard, while everyone else is resting today, the Xu family is preparing to do a thorough cleaning.
Apart from Huang Qinqin, everyone else was cleaning.
Huang Qinqin actually wanted to help, but everyone wouldn't let her let go, so she had to give up and went to the kitchen to cook some sweet soup for them to drink later.
Bang bang bang!
Huang Qinqin heard someone knocking on the door while she was in the kitchen. Curious, she got up to see who was knocking so early in the morning.
Even faster than Huang Qinqin was Xu Junhui, who was cleaning the chicken coop in the yard.
"Big brother? It's you?"
Xu Junhui opened the door and was somewhat surprised to find that the person knocking was Huang Jianguo. Hadn't he just been here that morning?
Why did they suddenly come back now? And why are they in such a panic?
Huang Jianguo was still panting heavily from running all the way. He put his hands on his knees and asked intermittently, "Junhui, Uncle and Aunt, are they home?"
"I...I have something urgent to tell them."
"Yes, yes, brother, please come in and rest for a while, have some water first."
After pouring him a glass of water, Xu Junhui went inside and called Xu Weiguo and Zhang Yumei out.
Seeing that Huang Jianguo had finished his water in one gulp, Huang Qinqin asked with concern, "Brother, would you like me to pour you another glass of water?"
Huang Jianguo nodded. He had just eaten steamed buns and was already thirsty. In addition, he had suddenly started running, and even after drinking a glass of water, he was still very thirsty.
Huang Jianguo only recovered after drinking three glasses of water.
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
"I just... let's talk about it together with my uncles later."
Huang Jianguo had just started speaking when he saw Xu Weiguo and the others come out.
"Jianguo, Junhui said you wanted to see us?"
"Yes."
Huang Jianguo knew this was no small matter, so he didn't dare to delay at all: "I just went to the alley ahead to buy steamed buns, and when I was sitting there eating, I saw Junhui's uncle, and he was pulling and tugging at a strange woman."
"What?!"
Zhang Yumei and Xu Weiguo exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Xu Weiguo had been guessing that Chen Ming probably hadn't really gone back to Chenjia Village, but he didn't expect that Chen Ming would be near his home and with another woman.
Because Chen Ming had always given Zhang Yumei a very good impression, she was somewhat incredulous: "Jianguo, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"Chen Ming said he had something to do and needed to go back to Chenjia Village today, so he shouldn't be in the city right now."
Although Huang Jianguo felt he hadn't misjudged him, he still cautiously replied, "I'm not sure either, after all, I've only met him a few times."
"But I really think it looks like him, so I came to tell you."
Huang Jianguo simply felt that since he had run into them, he shouldn't hide it from the Xu family. As for whether they believed him or not, and what they would do next, he wouldn't interfere.
After telling the story, Huang Jianguo handed the money the village chief had given him to Huang Qinqin: "Little sister, this is what the village chief gave me."
"He asked you to help him buy some meat or bones in a few days. If possible, it would be best to buy more at once, and the village chief will arrange for someone to come and pick them up."
Huang Qinqin took the money and nodded: "Okay, I understand. The village chief mentioned it to me before."
"By the way, brother, did the village chief only ask me to help buy meat? Did he mention anything else?"
Huang Jianguo only remembered that Village Chief Huang had mentioned the electricity issue after she asked him.
"I almost forgot, the village chief said that the villagers have unanimously approved the matter of bringing electricity to the village."
Hearing that the village had agreed, Huang Qinqin felt relieved. Although she had made a solemn promise to Manager Gao beforehand, she was still somewhat worried until she heard a definite answer.
After Huang Jianguo finished explaining everything, he left directly.
After Huang Jianguo left, Xu Junhui suggested, "Mom and Dad, why don't we go over and check if Uncle is really nearby? After all, he's not far away."
"What do you think? If my uncle really is having an affair with someone else, we won't be kept in the dark."
Xu Fang had just finished cleaning the room and came out to change the water when she heard Xu Junhui's words. Her hand trembled, and she dropped the basin and water to the ground.
He asked in shock, "Junhui, what are you saying?!"
