For a brief moment, Zhou Gou thought he had misread it.
He knew that woman quite well.
Wang Zhaodi.
His wife.
How did she end up here?
She was also holding a boy's hand.
Zhou Gou rubbed his eyes and looked in that direction again.
The next second, he felt like it was going to turn into a fantasy.
This time, he not only saw Wang Zhaodi, but also his sister-in-law Jiang Ci, and his daughter.
Jiang Ci and his daughter sneaked to the entrance of the guesthouse, peeking inside furtively.
Zhou Gou immediately rolled down the car window and stuck his head out to look towards the guesthouse.
That really is his daughter!
That's really Jiang porcelain!
If that's the case... then the woman he just saw... was really Wang Zhaodi?
She was holding a boy's hand...
A thought that shocked and disbelieved him began to surface in Zhou Gou's mind, making his breathing suddenly heavy.
"Zhou Gou, what's wrong?" Cheng Huasheng asked, frowning as he noticed Zhou Gou's unusual behavior.
Zhou Gou took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and retreated back into the car. He said to Cheng Huasheng, "It's nothing. I have some things to do and I probably need to get out of the car first. You guys keep walking straight ahead to the town government. The military offices in the town are behind that."
After saying that, Zhou Gou said to the driver with a stern face, "Stop the car."
The driver said "Oh," and quickly stopped the car on the side of the road.
Zhou Gou got out of the car directly.
The driver asked, "Mr. Cheng, shall we go to the military base first?"
Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian exchanged a glance.
"Let's go down and take a look too."
"good."
As soon as Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian got out of the car, they followed Zhou Gou.
Zhou Gou noticed the people around him and asked, "Mr. Cheng, why did you all come down?"
“You’ve helped us so much, I can’t just stand by and do nothing if anything happens to your family.” Cheng Huasheng patted his shoulder. “Let’s go.”
Zhou Gou's lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing and walked behind Jiang Ci and Zhou Huai in a gloomy manner.
He patted Zhou Huai on the shoulder.
Zhou Huai, who was peering into the guesthouse, was startled and cried out. He turned around and saw who it was. His eyes immediately reddened.
"dad."
Jiang Ci was startled by Zhou Huai's scream and turned her head.
She looked at the newcomer in surprise, her gaze sweeping over the man in the white shirt and suit pants beside him and the woman in the light blue dress made of polyester. "Brother Er Gou?"
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Gou glanced at his daughter and asked Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci parked her bicycle and said, "If Brother Er Gou wants to know, he can go in and see for himself."
Zhou Huai, an eight-year-old child, was clearly not as composed as Jiang Ci. Tears fell, and he said in a slurred voice, "Dad, Mom took the things you bought back to her son."
The daughter's sobbing continued, "She and her son are in the guesthouse right now."
Zhou Gou's face was already frighteningly dark.
Jiang Ci coughed and said, "I've met that child. He has a very protective mother. Of course, the mother I'm talking about is not Wang Zhaodi."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Gou had already strode into the guesthouse.
Jiang Ci didn't follow them inside. She just glanced at Zhou Huai and said calmly, "Xiao Huai, I think you should go in and take a look too."
Zhou Huai paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci said rather coldly, "Don't ask for my opinion, make your own decision."
Zhou Huai bit his lip, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, rushed inside.
Watching Zhou Huai go inside, Jiang Ci turned around and faced Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian, "Hello, my name is Jiang Ci."
“You are…” Cheng Huasheng’s eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of something. He was about to say something when he saw Jiang Ci raise her hand.
"We can talk about it later."
Jiang Cichong rushed towards Cheng Huasheng, Li Ailian waved her hand, and then rushed directly into the guesthouse.
Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian, a married couple: "?"
ah?
What a joke! This is some rare gossip!
How could Jiangci possibly miss out on such a lively event?!
Even if the gossip is about Zhou Ergou's family, she still wants to listen!
In the entertainment-scarce 1970s, with no television, no mobile phones, and no entertainment facilities, Jiang Ci's only hobby was listening to gossip.
Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian were both completely bewildered.
Although they didn't understand, they still silently followed.
I hope Zhou Gou doesn't start hitting people.
He was a soldier and had to be strict with himself. If Zhou Gou really wanted to make a move, Cheng Huasheng could still step in and stop him.
Ms. Jiang Ci, a single woman, could not stop it.
Cheng Huasheng silently thought this.
It's definitely not that the couple just wanted to see what was going on.
Inside the guesthouse.
Wang Zhaodi held the hand of her eldest son, Sun Yaozu, her face full of joy. "Mom brought you lots of delicious food this time, including canned food, White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk powder, peach shortbread, and biscuits!"
"Mom also got you several pieces of fabric, but Mom can't make clothes for you herself. You can take them and let that woman make clothes for you, okay?"
Wang Zhaodi's eyes were full of love as she patted Sun Yaozu's back and rubbed his head, showing a mother's affection for her son.
"Mom, I want to eat peach shortbread!" Sun Yaozu said without hesitation, and Wang Zhaodi immediately took out peach shortbread for her obedient son.
While eating, Sun Yaozu said, "Mom, you don't know, I was sick a while ago, and that ugly woman took me to see a doctor and even made a scene at the hospital. I didn't even want to go over and admit that she was my mom. If Dad hadn't insisted that I go, I really wouldn't have wanted to go and help her."
