Chapter 262 Looking for Someone
If Lin Yunxi saw this scene, she would definitely not be able to help but give her son a few kisses on the face.
After seeing the shape of her father's mouth, Yanyan walked on tiptoe carefully, afraid of making the slightest sound.
He came to the bed and opened his arms towards his father, his meaning was very clear.
I want my dad to carry me to bed so I can sleep next to my mom.
Gu Zheng also wanted to hug his wife to sleep, but he had something else to do later, so he could only carry his son to bed.
With the help of her father, Yanyan took off her clothes, kissed her mother's face twice gently and lovingly, and then got into bed.
While sleeping, Lin Yunxi suddenly felt a warm thing beside her. She subconsciously hugged it in her arms and patted it gently with her hands.
Smelling the sweet scent of her mother, Yanyan closed her eyes peacefully, her breathing gradually slowed down, and she fell asleep soon.
Gu Zheng considerately tucked in the corners of the quilt for his wife and son, gently closed the door, and then went to do his own thing.
This time he came to the provincial capital with us, in addition to taking his family out to play, he also had a more important matter.
That is to go to the home of the deceased comrade Lao Fang to visit the elderly and children, and give them some money and food that the comrades had collected together.
When Gu Zheng first joined the army, Lao Fang had already been in the army for several years, and he was the oldest in the company.
Therefore, he took good care of Gu Zheng, the youngest brother with a very stubborn temper, and the two of them often stayed together after training.
Lying on the training ground, sweating profusely, chatting about parents and children at home, and imagining a bright future.
At that time, what Lao Fang talked about most was his son who was already in junior high school and his newborn daughter.
The eldest son is sensible and obedient. He helps with housework as soon as he comes home from school. The little girl is delicate and cute. Her crying sounds like a kitten, which makes her very lovable.
Whenever he talked about this, Lao Fang would have an indulgent smile on his face, and he and Gu Zheng would imagine what the two children would look like when they grew up.
But things did not go as planned. During a mission, Lao Fang was shot in the heart while covering for his comrades and could not be rescued.
So every year, each of the comrades in their company would take out a sum of money and send it to Lao Fang's family.
Those who are able take more, and those who are not able take less. Everyone is doing their best to help take care of this family.
Lao Fang's family consists of an elderly father, an unemployed wife, and two underage children, and money is needed everywhere.
Because Gu Zheng was about to come to the provincial capital, everyone gave the money to Gu Zheng in advance and asked him to deliver it.
Gu Zheng first went to the grain store and the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two large bags of rice and flour, four or five pounds of pork belly, school supplies and milk powder.
Then he drove the car skillfully through the alleys, and after turning several turns, he finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Since entering the alley, a group of curious children and some adults who came to watch the fun have been following the car.
Gu Zheng ignored him and walked up to knock on the door, but unexpectedly found that the person who opened the door was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.
"Who are you looking for?" Seeing that Gu Zheng came by car, Li Cui's expression instantly changed from gloomy to bright. She guessed in her heart that it might be a rich friend her daughter met outside.
Thinking of this, she became even more proud and enthusiastic: "Come in and sit down. You must be tired after driving for such a long time. I'll go call Honghong back right away."
At this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and asked quickly.
"Hello, I'm looking for Fang Wenyou." Fang Wenyou is the name of Old Fang's father.
When Li Cui heard the name, her face suddenly turned cold. She said, "I don't know this person," and slammed the door.
If he couldn't tell that she was lying, all of Gu Zheng's years of military service would have been in vain.
But at this moment, he had no time to argue with this man. The most important thing right now was to find Uncle Fang's family.
The Fang family has always lived in the provincial capital and their roots are here. It is impossible for them to move for no reason, so something must have happened in the meantime.
"Uncle, are you looking for Fang Qingshuo and Fang Qingyue?" A skinny-looking little boy squeezed out from the crowd of children, walked up to Gu Zheng, and asked with his head tilted.
These were the names of Lao Fang's two children. Gu Zheng quickly squatted down and asked, "Yes, kid, do you know where they are now?"
Xiaobin nodded: "I know, uncle, can I take the car over there?"
"Sure." Just like that, he got into the car amid the envious gazes of his friends.
Then, Gu Zheng turned the car around and, under the guidance of Xiaobin, drove deep into the alley and stopped in front of a half-collapsed house.
"This is where Brother Qingshuo and Sister Yueyue live now." Xiaobin said, pointing to the only house in the yard that looked relatively intact.
There was a small iron pot and a pile of burnt wood ash in front of the house, and it was obvious that someone had lived there.
However, the yard looked dilapidated and most of the walls had collapsed.
