Chapter 501 The Appearance of a Lover
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly had an idea, but she only glanced at Song Dong without saying anything.
Song Dong called over Xiao Chen: "Quickly clean up the house, don't leave any bad impressions, and... thoroughly inspect the house, every nook and cranny, dig three feet into the ground to search."
Turning to Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi, she said, "If I had known it would be this disgusting, I wouldn't have invited you over. This is really... You two go back first. I'll tell you about any progress later."
He was considering that Jiang Zhizhi, a woman, couldn't handle it.
Zhou Xiye didn't want Jiang Zhizhi to see any more of this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back first. If you make any new discoveries, let us know."
Song Dong nodded and told Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi to leave first.
Once outside the alley, Jiang Zhizhi took off her mask, took a few deep breaths, and casually threw it into the nearby trash can: "That's disgusting! What kind of weird fetish does that old man have!"
He suddenly turned to look at Zhou Xiye and said, "I have an idea..."
Zhou Xiye also spoke up: "I have an idea too."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "I'm wondering if someone deliberately put those toads and poisonous snakes in our yard?"
Zhou Xiye nodded: "That's what I think too. After all, the back door faces the mountain. If someone deliberately puts these things on the mountain, it would be easy for them to climb into the compound."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Then put some scents that attract these things in the yard, and they will crawl into the yard, and Shangshang won't be afraid of them."
Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi had similar understandings: "It's impossible that they knew about Shang Shang's superpowers, but these things were definitely created by humans, not because Shang Shang had superpowers and was attracted there."
Jiang Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was also puzzled: "Why did he put these things in the courtyard?"
Then his eyes lit up: "Do you think the poison that Mom and Luojia suffered from is also related to him?"
Zhou Xiye couldn't be sure about that: "Go back and wait for news. Don't worry too much about Shangshang, she'll be fine."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed: "I'm still worried. I'm afraid these bad things will affect her growth. Let's see."
Zhou Xiye was worried that the scene he had just witnessed would affect Jiang Zhizhi's appetite, so he suggested that they go to the temple fair.
Jiang Zhizhi had no objection; this place wasn't too far from the Temple of Earth Fair.
The fifth day of the first lunar month is the liveliest time of the temple fair. There is food, games, opera performances, storytelling, acrobatics, and crosstalk. It is very lively.
Jiang Zhizhi had never been to a temple fair before, and since Zhou Xiye wasn't home for the Chinese New Year, she wasn't interested in coming.
Unexpectedly, I met an unexpected person at the temple fair: Ge Qinghua.
The two were assigned to different hospitals and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Ge Qinghua was also very excited to see Jiang Zhizhi. She grabbed Jiang Zhizhi's hand and said, "My goodness, I didn't expect to run into you when I went out. I've been wanting to see you, but I haven't had time. I was even on duty during the New Year. I finally got a day off, and I still had to bring the kids to the temple fair."
Ge Qinghua has become quite well-known in the obstetrics and gynecology department. The hospital even provided her with an apartment, and now the whole family has moved in. They also helped Ge Qinghua's husband find a job.
He was assigned to work in the hospital's boiler room.
Ge Qinghua held Jiang Zhizhi's hand, as if she had endless things to say: "I'm so excited to see you at the temple fair. How long has it been since we last met? More than a year, I think? The last time we met was when our hospital went to your hospital for a meeting."
"Are the children all well? They must have grown a lot. I'll definitely go and see them when I have time."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and replied, "She's two and a half years old, which is a very naughty age. Are you doing well at work at the hospital?"
Ge Qinghua nodded repeatedly: "Okay, very good. This is the job I want, so I'm not tired no matter how much overtime I work. It's just that the infant mortality rate is a bit high now."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "There's another thing. There are too many people coming to the hospital for abortions these days. I think it's really insidious to do that."
Jiang Zhizhi pressed her hand down: "You can't say these things carelessly. That's the policy now."
Ge Qinghua sighed again: "I have always regarded you as my role model. I will keep learning and contribute the best technology to mothers."
Jiang Zhizhi was afraid that Ge Qinghua might shout out some slogans in her excitement, so she quickly smiled and said, "Okay, let's work together. You take the children shopping now, and we can sit down and chat again when we have time."
Ge Qinghua nodded repeatedly, glancing at Zhou Xiye beside her: "You two should hurry up and go for a stroll. It's too noisy now, and it's not a good time to chat."
They said they were done chatting and said goodbye several more times before finally parting ways.
As Jiang Zhizhi watched Ge Qinghua and the children disappear into the crowd, she sighed, "Sister Qinghua is so much better now. Her temperament has changed a lot; she seems even more gentle."
She probably radiates a gentle and serene glow because she deals with new mothers and newborns every day.
Zhou Xiye also felt that Ge Qinghua had changed a lot, unlike before when she was energetic and capable.
After sighing, Jiang Zhizhi continued to stroll through the temple fair with Zhou Xiye.
Every stall was packed with people. Although they didn't have much money in their pockets, they didn't skimp on their lives.
Even eating something that costs five cents or ten cents brings me joy and satisfaction.
Jiang Zhizhi bought tripe, stir-fried mung bean jelly, and door nail-shaped baked buns. There was no table to sit at, so the two of them stood by the roadside.
Zhou Xiye held the bowl, while Jiang Zhizhi ate it with a bamboo skewer, chatting as they ate: "Tell me, how did that strange old man Chen Liqin manage to stuff these things into the hidden compartment? Was he feeding them regularly?"
Zhou Xiye was amazed that she could calmly talk about such a disgusting scene even after stuffing a mouthful of tripe into her mouth.
His mental fortitude was stronger than he had imagined. After a moment's thought, he concluded, "It should be."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "This tripe is delicious! It's better than the one from that old-established restaurant we used to eat at!"
He then skewered a string of skewers and fed it to Zhou Xiye.
Zhou Xiye lowered his head, opened his mouth, and ate.
Next, Jiang Zhizhi would take a bite, then feed Zhou Xiye a bite. Any leftovers would be given to Zhou Xiye to finish.
Seeing the sesame candy, I bought some more for Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang to take back.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what this sesame candy was made of. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, golden and shiny. It was crispy and sweet when you ate it, and it felt like it was made by frying dough and then coating it with honey.
It's very sweet and fragrant, a flavor that both kids love.
As she walked and ate her way through the temple fair, Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "Before, my mom told me to come to the temple fair, and I thought the food there would definitely be bad. But I didn't expect it to be so delicious and so fun!"
"There are also acrobatics and circus performances over there; Shangshang and Xiaozhouji will definitely enjoy them."
The elderly mother suddenly had a change of heart and realized that she should have brought Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang to experience something so fun.
After Jiang Zhizhi finished her sigh, she didn't hear Zhou Xiye's response and turned her head in confusion.
Zhou Xiye was looking at another road, his expression tense...
