Chapter 342 Where Did the Child Come From?
Jiang Zhizhi watched Fang Hua and Zhou Chengzhi bicker with a smile. Fang Hua said that Zhou Chengzhi was biased towards Xiao Zhouji, but she forgot that she was very biased towards Shang Shang.
If both children cry at the same time, she will definitely hug Shangshang first, and say, "Girls should be a little more delicate. It's okay for boys to cry for a while."
Overall, they love both children very much, but they tend to favor one of them a little more.
As expected, people's hearts are biased.
Around the Lunar New Year, Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye completely lost contact; she didn't reply to her letters, nor did she call back.
Zhou Chengzhi noticed Jiang Zhizhi's unease and used his connections to ask Zhou Xiye's superiors. He learned that Zhou Xiye and his group were simply trapped on the mountain and had difficulty communicating, but were all safe.
After returning home, I briefly explained the situation to Jiang Zhizhi and comforted her: "Don't worry, the snow is too heavy there, and letters can't be delivered. Besides... it involves a mission, so they can't contact the outside world, but they are safe."
Jiang Zhizhi remained silent, understanding yet distressed. Finally, she grinned at Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Dad, it's okay. I understand his work. The best support for his work is for me and the children to stay home and be well."
Fang Hua glared at Zhou Chengzhi.
Zhou Chengzhi was somewhat puzzled. After considering his words, he looked at Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, you also grew up in this compound. You understand many things. Zhou Xiye does indeed owe your little family something. But..."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly smiled and said, "Dad, Dad, don't say anymore, I understand."
Fang Hua glared at Zhou Chengzhi again: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Look at what you're saying!"
Zhou Chengzhi was puzzled: "What did I say? Wasn't everything I said the truth?"
Fang Hua frowned: "Then you don't need to say it out loud. What's the point of saying it? That we women are expected to make sacrifices?"
Upon hearing that the two were about to start arguing again, Zhou Chengyu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Oh dear, brother and sister-in-law, why are you two arguing all of a sudden? Let's eat quickly. As long as Xiye is well, and Zhizhi and the two children are well, that's the best thing ever. We don't ask for anything more."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly reassured them, "Yes, Mom and Dad, I'm fine. Compared to others, I'm already very happy."
I felt a little disappointed, but I was quickly healed by the smiles of the two children.
...
March is almost over, and Beijing is already quite warm. At noon, the sun is warm, making people feel drowsy.
Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu spread the blanket in the yard, then covered it with a thick quilt, so the two children could crawl and play on it.
The two little ones are exactly seven months old and have only recently learned to crawl.
Unlike the first three months when they were well-behaved and quiet, the two children's personalities are now gradually becoming more apparent.
Little Zhouji is a very naughty boy. He crawls quickly and is quick to learn to use his hands. When you hold him to eat, you have to be careful that he doesn't snatch your chopsticks or the bowl on the table.
Fang Hua often says with a smile that Xiao Zhouji's little hands are like lightning, quick and accurate in reaching out.
Shangshang is also lively and giggles when teased, but her mobility is much worse than her younger brother's. She is slow to crawl and can hold an apple for a long time.
Zhou Chengyu sat to the side, watching as Xiao Zhouji crawled on the ground like a little bandit. He laughed and said to Fang Hua, "Xiao Zhouji, you can't even see him for a second before he crawls out and grabs a handful of dirt to stuff in his mouth. Who does he take after? I remember Xiye was very calm when he was a child."
Fang Hua smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Boys should be a little mischievous."
She could hardly remember what Zhou Xiye looked like at his age, but he was indeed a very well-behaved child.
She's not as lively as Xiao Zhouji. Maybe Xiao Zhouji's personality comes from her mother?
Zhou Chengyu grabbed Xiao Zhouji, who had crawled out, and asked Fang Hua, "When will Shang Shiying be back?"
During the Spring Festival, Shang Shiying took her three children to the south to spend the holiday with Li Chengzhang. Judging by the time, she should be back soon.
Fang Hua wasn't sure either: "It should be soon, right? It feels like quite a long time has passed this time."
Zhou Chengyu was a bit gossipy: "Everyone in the courtyard is saying that Shang Shiying definitely wants to get to know Zhizhi as her goddaughter, is that true?"
Fang Hua was both amused and exasperated: "Why are you bringing this up again from so far ago?"
Zhou Chengyu sighed, "There are some things I didn't dare to say before, but now I dare to say them. And recently, many people have been exonerated, and many who were sent down to the countryside have returned. It feels... By the way, have you heard about the Bian family?"
Fang Hua asked in surprise, "The Bian family? What's going on with the Bian family? You're at my house every day, where did you hear these rumors?"
Zhou Chengyu laughed: "I just take the kids to the square to sunbathe at noon. You know how it is. Every day at that time, if the two kids don't show up at the square, they'll come knocking on our door."
Fang Hua was still puzzled, since she was there every time, so how come she never heard about it?
Seeing Fang Hua's puzzled expression, Zhou Chengyu smiled and explained, "You weren't paying attention to the conversation; you were busy looking after the child."
"I overheard that someone wanted to exonerate the Bian family. Bian Suxi's father was a renowned patriotic businessman back then."
Fang Hua frowned: "The Bian family has no descendants, what's the point of saying this?"
Zhou Chengyu shook his head: "I don't know either. I'm just listening. But these are all good things. I heard, I just heard, that the house will be returned. Do you think if Bian Suxi were still alive, would the old courtyard of that family over there be returned to her?"
Fang Hua remained silent. Although the situation had changed dramatically, there were still some things he dared not say.
Jiang Zhizhi's background is something that cannot be revealed.
He shook his head, thinking for a moment: "I'm not sure. What does it have to do with us? We don't even have a house."
Zhou Chengyu thought about it and agreed: "Actually, it's a bit of a pity. I'd heard many touching stories about Bian Suxi's father before, but in the end... good people don't always have a good ending. He didn't even have any descendants. I also heard that Bian Suxi's father's grave was desecrated by these people..."
Fang Hua frowned and looked at Zhou Chengyu: "Chengyu, be careful what you say! Don't go around talking nonsense to people, especially Sun the loudmouth. She's had a bad mouth since she was young, and she still has a bad mouth now."
Zhou Chengyu nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I have that much cunning."
While we were chatting, before we knew it, Xiao Zhouji had quickly climbed over the covers and was scrambling towards the front door.
Her little hands and legs moved very quickly, and she was laughing happily.
Zhou Chengyu exclaimed "Oh dear!" and was about to grab the little Zhou Ji who was crawling away at lightning speed when he turned around and saw the person carrying a bag entering the room, and he froze.
Zhou Xiye stood stiffly at the doorway, looking down at the little creature that was crawling towards him at lightning speed, sitting on his feet and hugging his legs...
