"Now that I have a fearsome reputation, I don't think anyone would dare to provoke me, right?"
Jiang Ci raised her hand to push him, but just as she created some distance, Zhou Mingli pulled her back to fill the space again.
He said in a somber tone, "If something happens and you can't handle it yourself, find someone. I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
Jiang Ci was surprised to find that Zhou Mingli was so clingy.
They used to see each other only a handful of times a year, and Zhou Mingli never seemed to dawdle. How come things have changed like this now?
She pushed him several more times before Zhou Mingli finally let go.
After visiting the Yu family again, Zhou Mingli spoke a few words with Brother Yu and left Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao at his house for the time being. Only then did Zhou Mingli ride his bicycle to take Jiang Ci to town.
They had been to the station once before and knew the place.
Because Zhou Mingli's journey to the city was not far and the price was not expensive, he spent three cents to buy a ticket. When he actually went inside to board the bus, he took another deep look at Jiang Ci before turning his head and following the others inside.
Jiang Ci also pushed her bicycle and left the station.
.
After Jiang Ci returned home, she went to the cowshed to deliver lunch. Old Mr. Cheng's illness had been cured, and he still stayed in his little house and did not come out often.
Meanwhile, Shen Conghe was also being tormented by Liu San during this time, and she couldn't find an opportunity to talk to Shen Conghe. She could only leave after finishing her own work.
Just as I got home, the two children came back with Dazhu and Erzhu.
They were carrying a small bucket, and their dark faces were smiling; they seemed quite happy.
When Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao saw their mother, they immediately ran over to her.
"Mom, we caught so many earthworms!"
Zhou Miao held up the small bucket in her hand like she was presenting a treasure.
Jiang Ci glanced inside and saw that there was indeed quite a lot, about half a bucket.
Jiang Ci smiled and patted each of their heads, saying, "You did a really good job."
Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang immediately beamed with joy.
Jiang Ci then looked at Da Zhu and Er Zhu, "Shouldn't you be starting school soon? Thank you for taking Miao Miao and Yang Yang out to play today."
Dazhu nodded. "School starts on September 5th. Aunt Jiang, don't be so polite. My younger siblings are all well-behaved, and we haven't had to worry about them."
Erzhu looked up at Jiang Ci's house and asked, "Aunt Jiang, is Uncle Zhou cooking lunch today? Can I trade him the bird eggs I collected today?"
Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows. "I've been cooking for the past week. Your Uncle Zhou isn't home."
Erzhu: "Huh?"
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were disappointed, "Ah!!"
Erzhu was also disappointed, but he still grabbed four or five bird eggs for Jiang Ci, saying, "Never mind, I'll just go home and eat them."
Jiang Ci narrowed her eyes slightly. "What? You think my cooking is bad?"
Erzhu looked at his elder brother, his eyes pleading for help.
Jiang Ci also looked at Da Zhu threateningly.
Poor Dazhu was threatened by the hateful adults and scratched his head helplessly.
Suddenly he shouted, "Mom's calling us home for dinner!"
Jiang Ci's cooking... isn't even as good as her dad's!
Adults love to ask questions that put kids in a difficult position, so you'd better run away quickly!
Slip away!
Goodbye, Aunt Jiang!
"Ah! Big brother, wait for me!"
Erzhu quickly chased after him, his steps as fast as lightning!
Jiang Ci laughed in exasperation, "These two little brats."
"Come on, let's go home. I'll cook for you today."
Poor Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, pouting, followed their mother's figure with heavy backs.
well.
Those children are so pitiful.
Since Dad isn't home, I'll have to eat Mom's cooking.
Although Mom taught them that children shouldn't be picky eaters, Dad's cooking is better!
Even young children can tell who cooks well and who doesn't.
...
Linyun City.
Compared to the somewhat crowded streets of Zhongmo Town, where many people still wear patched clothes, the roads in the city are noticeably wider, bustling with people wearing polyester and watches, and there are more people riding bicycles.
The few cars that drive on the road often attract envious glances from many people.
Zhou Gou arrived in Linyun City the night before. He left the guesthouse early in the morning and went directly to the military corps in Linyun City.
He and Mr. Cheng had already agreed that they would go directly to the military base after arriving at their destination.
While this place may not have everything a guesthouse could offer, it's safer.
After meeting with the military leaders, Zhou Gou waited for about fifty minutes before someone from the military garrison came to tell him that a jeep with a Beijing license plate had arrived outside.
Zhou Gou immediately stood up, a smile on his face, and said to the military commander, "Mr. Cheng has arrived!"
The commander waved his hand and said, "Let them pass. Have someone bring them here."
"yes!"
As the soldier ran away, and Zhou Gou paced back and forth, footsteps finally came from outside the door.
“Mr. Cheng!” Zhou Gou’s eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to the man.
Cheng Huasheng and Zhou Gou had spent many years together and he knew Zhou Gou very well. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "You've arrived quite early!"
Zhou Gou: "I haven't been here long either. I thought you wouldn't arrive until this afternoon."
Cheng Huasheng said, "We were walking quite slowly. Beijing isn't far from Linyun City, but it took us three whole days to get there."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two old friends finally met and got to know the military leaders.
Cheng Huasheng introduced his wife and daughter to them, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Our family came here to visit relatives, and we are bothering you, leaders. It is really too much of a burden."
