Zhou Shuirong is a native of Tubei Province and is very familiar with these things: "I know, the newspaper office is very close to my home.
But now it’s time to get off work.”
Chen Mengyao: "Can you take us to see it?"
Zhou Shuirong thought it was no problem for such a young child: "Okay, follow me."
The three of them followed Zhou Shuirong to the newspaper office.
The newspaper office is not only close to the state-owned hotel, but also to the machinery factory.
Chen Mengyao remembered the place and said, "We've found the newspaper office. Let's go to the guesthouse now."
Zhou Shuirong held her back: “Comrade Shen, instead of going to the guesthouse, you might as well go to my house.
I have two empty beds at home. You can sleep there. It's economical and convenient."
Chen Mengyao didn't want to go, but Zhou Shuirong was too enthusiastic, so she had to go to the family compound with her.
"Where is the supply and marketing cooperative? I want to go buy something."
It’s not good to go empty-handed when visiting someone for the first time.
Zhou Shuirong saw through her thoughts and said, "Comrade Shen, you don't have to buy it. My father is the director and my brother is the section chief of the food factory. There are so many good things. We can't finish them all. We can't finish them at all."
After Zhou Shuirong finished speaking, he grabbed Chen Mengyao's arm and pulled her towards the family compound.
It's difficult to walk while pulling.
Several times, Chen Mengyao almost stepped on Zhou Shuirong's ankle. She wanted to break free from Zhou Shuirong's hand, but found that the other party was stronger than hers.
Chen Mengyao was surprised. She thought she was the only woman with the strongest strength, but she didn't expect there were others with even greater strength than hers.
"I'll go with you, can you let me go?"
Zhou Shuirong realized later that it was difficult to walk while being held like this. She let go of Chen Mengyao's hand and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Zhou Shuirong lives in a three-bedroom bungalow.
Logically speaking, with her length of service, she shouldn't be able to live in such a house, especially since her father is a director.
Her father paid a high price to exchange it with others.
There is also a large yard outside the house.
She grows a lot of seasonal vegetables.
The interior of the house is also very well decorated.
The hall is bright and spacious, while the bedroom is relatively darker, making it very cozy.
Three bedrooms.
There is a bedroom with two beds.
Originally, the two daughters had two bedrooms, but because they had a good relationship, they insisted on sharing one bedroom.
So a bedroom was left empty.
When guests come to his house, Zhou Shuirong will arrange for them to sleep in the guest room.
Today, there were three of Chen Mengyao's friends coming, so she simply gave them the bedroom with two beds.
The four of them slept in the other two bedrooms.
After Zhou Shuirong settled the people, he hurried to his mother's house: "Mom, Mom, what vegetables are left at home? Bring them all out to me. I have guests at home."
Mother Zhou walked out the door, looked up at the sky that was getting dark, and was suspicious of her words: "Who would visit someone's house after dark?"
Zhou Shuirong was able to kick her husband out of the house this time thanks to Chen Mengyao's reminder. She didn't like others calling her a benefactor, even if that person was her relative.
"She didn't come to my house on her own initiative. I dragged her here. If she hadn't reminded me, I would have suffered a great loss in this divorce.
She has helped me so much, what do you think, should I treat her to a meal? "
Mother Zhou had heard her daughter mention Chen Mengyao several times, but she had never seen her.
"Well, eating at home is too unrefined. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant. Do you still have food coupons?
If you don’t have any questions, I’ll give you enough for a good meal.”
Zhou Shuirong rolled his eyes. "At this time, the state-owned restaurants have already closed. It would be more practical for you to take out all the delicious food at home."
This time Zhou's mother did not hesitate at all. She opened the cupboard door and took out the newly bought meat, as well as some cured goods, such as cured pork and cured tongue.
"Take it."
Before Zhou Shuirong left, her mother packed a few more canned fruits for her: "Your eldest brother brought some over a few days ago. Give them to Comrade Shen to try."
Zhou Shuirong accepted it with a smile: "Mom, you gave me so much, aren't you afraid of what my sister-in-law would say?"
Zhou's mother wasn't worried about this at all: "What your eldest brother gave me is mine. She has no say in how I decide to deal with it."
Zhou Shuirong gave a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Mom, so domineering!"
Zhou's mother was afraid that she couldn't handle it alone, so she followed her.
She thought there was only one, but unexpectedly there were three.
She smiled and asked, "Who is Comrade Chen Mengyao?"
On the way here, Zhou Shuirong told her Chen Mengyao's name.
The two sisters, Cuihua and Chen Mengyao, pointed at each other and said in unison, "It's her."
Mother Zhou stepped forward and held Chen Mengyao's hand, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, if you hadn't reminded me, my silly daughter would have no idea that someone had plotted against her."
In fact, Zhou's mother was exaggerating too much. Even if Chen Mengyao hadn't reminded her, Zhou Shuirong wouldn't have suffered any loss: "Aunt, you are too kind. Even if I didn't remind her, Sister Zhou would have found a way to make that man lose a layer of skin."
Mother Zhou patted Chen Mengyao's shoulder and asked her to sit down. She also poured each of them a cup of brown sugar water and said, "You guys play here. I'll go cook."
Cuihua stood up and said, "I'll go help too."
Mother Zhou held her down and said, "No need, Rongrong and I are enough, you guys can chat here.
If you feel bored, let Daya take you to look for something nearby."
At this point, Chen Mengyao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Auntie, do you know anything about the newspaper?"
Mother Zhou: "What's wrong? What do you want to know?"
Chen Mengyao told Zhou's mother what happened to her daughter Taohua.
After hearing this, Zhou's mother felt a tightness in her chest, and her eyes reddened. "It's too difficult! This kid needs a letter of introduction to go anywhere. How did you convince the village chief to issue a letter of introduction?"
Taohua didn't find it difficult. She felt that as long as she could find a child, every effort would be worth it: "Our village chief is a very good person. Whenever I tell him that I want to find a child, he always gives me a letter of introduction.
However, after these two days, he advised me not to look for it anymore.
Can.
That's a piece of flesh that fell off of me.
I can’t forget it, and I can’t stop looking for it.”
Mother Zhou felt sorry for Taohua: "Tell me about that child. What are his characteristics?"
Taohua held back her tears and choked out, "The child has a black mole on his butt and a red birthmark under his arm, shaped like a peach blossom."
Zhou's mother was stunned. Is this such a coincidence? No, that family said the child gave birth to the baby himself, not bought it. "There is a child in the family compound who also has a red peach blossom birthmark under his arm.
When his mother took him to the family compound, he was one year old, so his age doesn’t match.”
Xiao Taohua excitedly grabbed Zhou's mother's arm and said, "The dog Xiao Ming lost was very thin, like a one-year-old child.
Does that child have a mole on his buttocks?"
Zhou's mother really didn't know: "I'm not very familiar with him, but I can ask for you."
Taohua wanted to follow him, but was afraid of offending him: "Thank you."
When Zhou's mother came out of Zhou Shuirong's house, she did not go directly to the child's home, but went to his neighbor's home.
