"Did Zhao Weiguo's wife come to visit you?"
"Um."
Zhou Xingze picked up a large basin full of water and walked into his room carefully.
He gently placed the basin on the ground, then slowly squatted down and picked up the thermos next to him.
I saw him holding the cork with his right hand, gently supporting the neck of the bottle with his left hand, and slowly unscrewing the cap.
Then, he pointed the bottle mouth at the basin, tilted the bottle slightly, and began to pour water into the basin. At the same time, his other hand was not idle, stirring the water constantly so that the hot water could be evenly dispersed.
In this way, Zhou Xingze continued to add hot water into the basin, while feeling the changes in water temperature with his hands.
Finally, the water temperature became just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
At this time, Zhou Xingze nodded with satisfaction and shouted to Ruan Xiaotang who was sitting on the bed: "Put your legs down and get ready to soak your feet!"
Hearing Zhou Xingze's call, Ruan Xiaotang slowly came over from the bed.
She walked to Zhou Xingze, looked down at the basin on the ground, and said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Xingze, you are so thoughtful! But today, my sister-in-law gave us a big basket of chicken, duck and goose eggs. My sister-in-law is so kind and sincere!"
As she spoke, Ruan Xiaotang pointed to the big basket filled with chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs in the corner.
Hearing this, Zhou Xingze turned his head and glanced at the basket, and responded casually: "Yeah, rural people's minds are relatively simple and honest, without so many cunning thoughts. Since they gave it to you, just accept it generously and don't think too much. When we have the chance in the future, we can find something to return to them." After that, Zhou Xingze continued to focus on the actions in his hands.
Seeing that Ruan Xiaotang just nodded but didn't say anything more, Zhou Xingze couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, Xiaotang, why did you eat so little at dinner tonight? Is it because the taste of these dishes doesn't suit your taste? Or are you not feeling well?"
Facing Zhou Xingze's concerned inquiry, Ruan Xiaotang quickly shook her head and explained: "No, I'm just not very hungry, so I didn't eat much. If I don't want to eat, don't think too much."
"Bang, bang, bang, bang"
There was a loud knock at the door.
It’s late at night, and judging from the tone, he doesn’t have good intentions.
Zhou Xingze and Ruan Xiaotang looked at each other and said, "Don't come out no matter what happens outside. Do you hear me?"
Ruan Xiaotang looked at his overly serious face and her heart tensed up.
Nothing serious is going to happen.
Who is looking for trouble so late at night?
She glanced out the window in panic and nodded at him obediently.
Zhou Xingze picked up the basin and poured the water outside.
Close the door tightly.
Facing the direction of the door, he asked, "Who is it at this late hour?"
"Brother, my colleague should be looking for me. I'll go check it out."
"What kind of colleague is this? Why did he come to your house to look for you so late at night? What happened that made you so anxious?"
When the person outside the door heard Zhou Jingjing's voice again, he instantly became anxious.
I don't know where he got the confidence from, but he banged on the door and called Zhou Jingjing's name at the top of his voice.
The urgent calls echoed throughout the night sky.
The dogs and cats in the neighborhood were frightened and kept barking.
The noisy noise outside the house attracted the old lady in the main room, the eldest sister-in-law, Meimei in the west wing, and Zhou Xingle and his wife.
All were called out.
Standing in front of the door, looking towards the gate.
Zhou Jingjing stamped her feet anxiously as she watched everyone being mobilized.
This Zhao Xiaohu is really impatient.
This time I can no longer hide it from everyone.
What to do, what to do.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for, here so late at night?"
Zhou Xingze had long noticed that Zhou Jingjing's reaction was too abnormal.
She guessed in her heart that the man outside the door was 200% related to her, Zhou Jingjing.
He was even more certain that this person was Zhao Xiaohu.
The moment the door opened, all his guesses were confirmed.
He looked the man in front of him from top to bottom.
The man opposite was also looking at Zhou Xingze in front of him.
For a moment, the two recognized each other almost at the same time.
Zhou Xingze occupied a tall and powerful position, his eyes suddenly became sharp, looking down with an intimidating aura, and his gaze turned into a cautious scrutiny.
A moment.
The man turned his eyes away guiltily, leaning sideways to look inside the door, as if he was looking for someone.
"I'm looking for Zhou Jingjing?"
The man's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he pretended to be calm and said, "I'm her colleague, and I'm looking for her because of work."
A sentence full of loopholes.
This made Zhou Xingze even more certain that the matter was definitely not as simple as he said.
"Since it's a work matter, let's talk about it tomorrow when we go to work."
Zhou Xingze was about to close the door after he finished speaking.
The man outside was anxious. He grabbed the edge of the door frame with both hands and shouted at the inside again, "Zhou Jingjing, come out quickly. I will take you away right now."
Zhou Jingjing seemed to have gained great motivation. She didn't care about the people and things in front of her and ran towards the gate.
"Where are you going? It's so late, and it's not proper for a girl like you to go out."
Zhou Xingze held Zhou Jingjing's arm and refused to let go.
"Let Jingjing go. She is my wife now. You have no right to control her."
"Zhao Xiaohu, stop talking..."
Zhao Xiaohu ran into the door in one swift step.
