Her mother's thin body became increasingly blurred until it was completely out of sight. Ruan Xiaotang reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
The sadness in my heart surged up again.
Sitting in the back seat, covering her face, she broke down and cried.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Xingze in the front quickly propped his feet to the side and stopped the car.
"Why are you crying again?"
"I miss my mom and my brother, ah~..."
Zhou Xingze raised his hand and touched the top of her head.
She comforted him in a gentle voice, "I remember the first night I left home to live in the army alone, I cried as sadly as you did."
"You cry and miss home even though you are a man?"
"Is it shameful for a man to cry? At that time, regardless of my young age, I was cute and acted like an adult. When I missed home, I would hide in bed and cry secretly in the middle of the night. The next day, I would be back to normal. This is how I got through it day by day, year by year."
Ruan Xiaotang was suddenly attracted by his military career and became very interested and curious.
The feeling of loss was gradually easing. I heard him suddenly stop talking and wondered why he stopped talking when he was listening with such great interest.
He hurriedly asked, "Tell me about some interesting things in your army. I want to hear them."
I'm quite curious.
Zhou Xingze raised the corners of his lips and smiled easily, then pedaled faster.
Along the way, Zhou Xingze tried all kinds of ways to make the little girl behind him laugh, just like he was coaxing a child.
It was the first and last time the little girl left home.
There was no escape route behind her.
From now on, he is her family.
He is her strongest support in this life.
The two talked and laughed along the way.
Time flies.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the family compound that Zhou Xingze had temporarily applied for.
There is a small bungalow with two rooms. Pushing open the small iron gate of the yard, there is an earthen yard of about 10 square meters inside.
"Captain, you are finally back. Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
Xiao Jian, baring his little white teeth, was the first to rush out of the house.
It was just his funny outfit that made Ruan Xiaotang so amused that she had to cover her mouth to avoid being rude.
"The captain is back, where is he?"
"Outside!"
"The captain's wife is here too. We have a sister-in-law this time!"
The other two people followed the sound and ran out one by one.
They stood in a row, looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of them with curious eyes.
"What are you three wearing? And why are you here?"
Zhou Xingze looked at the three big men in front of him in confusion. They all had a white towel on their heads. What kind of attire was this?
Zhao Weiguo came out to answer questions and resolve doubts immediately, "Captain Zhou, don't think wrongly. We brothers have been busy all afternoon and half an afternoon for you and Comrade Xiaotang's love nest, and we haven't even had a meal yet!"
As if seeking credit, the last sentence was stretched out in his voice and was particularly meaningful.
Sun Ming took off the white towel and said, "Yes, yes, I am so tired."
Xiao Jian then agreed, "We swept the floor and wiped the table. We even cleaned the glass for you. My arms are so tired that I can't even lift them."
Zhao Weiguo was so hot that his clothes were soaked with sweat. He picked up a palm-leaf fan and sat on a bench, fanning himself. He began to complain, saying, "It's so hot today. I just want to eat a popsicle to cool down."
"I want to eat, too."
"And me."
One was sitting, and two were leaning on the windowsill.
Staring at Zhou Xingze eagerly.
"Okay, I'll go buy it."
Ruan Xiaotang readily agreed. After all the efforts made by the young couple, they deserved to have a popsicle on such a hot day.
"Do you know where to buy it? Don't run so fast, slow down."
"As soon as I entered the military headquarters, I saw a supply and marketing cooperative here. Don't worry, I can find it."
Xiao Jian looked at the distressed look on the captain's face as he was worried about his young wife, and approached Sun Ming to gossip, "Tsk tsk tsk, look how worried our captain is! He's here physically, but his heart has already gone out."
"You value women over friendship. We have put in so much effort, but you just sit here with your head down and leave us alone. This is really a sign of moral decline!"
Zhao Weiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.
"Alright, that's enough, stop being so cute. I can't bear to ask my wife to do this or that, and now you guys are ordering her to run errands for you in the hot sun. What else do you want?"
Zhou Xingze reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked at the three people in front of him impatiently.
Xiao Jian didn't care whether the leader was angry or not, and asked directly, "You keep calling me wife, leader, are you going to get the marriage certificate?"
This is a very well-placed question.
The three of them turned their gazes in unison.
He stood there with one hand in his pocket, smoking a cigarette lazily, his eyes fixed on the distance.
Sun Ming whispered, "Look, our leader is thinking about love!"
"You've already got the certificate, why are you still thinking about it? You should think about how to do it tonight."
Zhao Weiguo took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled a big smoke ring, and had a mocking smile on his face.
Xiao Jian and Sun Ming looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Ha ha ha ha."
I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.
………………
"Zhou Jingjing, crawl in here."
Zhou's mother had a terrible nightmare during her nap. She dreamed that her son married Ruan Xiaotang, whom she disliked, behind her back...
The scenes in the dream were so real that she broke out in a cold sweat.
I sat on the bed for a long time before the cold sweat stopped.
My eyes inadvertently swept over the walnut-colored cabinet opposite the bed.
He took out a key hidden under the mattress.
The lock turned and the drawer opened. Seeing that the items inside showed no signs of being turned over, I relaxed my vigilance temporarily.
Take out the yellow cover book at the bottom, open it, and turn the pages.
not good.
The household registration booklet that was inserted inside disappeared.
Zhou's mother's head buzzed and everything went dark in front of her eyes. She grabbed the cabinet with both hands to prevent herself from falling.
There was a thief in her house!
"Mom, you called me?"
I finally had a day off from work, but just as I was about to fall asleep, I was woken up by my mother's loud shout.
Zhou Jingjing stood listlessly at Zhou's mother's door.
He was breathing heavily and sneezing all over, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all.
"I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard. What else can you do except eat every day?"
If you are not careful.
A pillow was thrown towards him.
Make a seamless connection with her face.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you so mad again? Who has offended you? You are taking it out on me. I am the one who is being bullied. Why am I so unlucky every day?"
Zhou Jingjing covered her face with her hands, her eyes were hit and tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably.
