Extra 10: The clouds will clear and the moon will appear

"Xingxing, this is my brother, Xiaojiu."

Qin Xingyao ran closer: "Hello, Brother Xiaojiu."

"Do you eat durian? I brought one when I came here."

Hearing these two familiar words from his mouth, Xiao Jiu's mouth twitched: "No, thank you."

"Xingxing, isn't today Friday?"

Wen Zhile said as he walked towards Zhou Jihuai and Xiao Qi.

Qin Xingyao looked guilty and pulled Xiaojiu to talk about other topics.

Wen Zhile looked back, helpless.

This child has skipped class again.

"Honey, is the baby obedient?"

Zhou Jihuai took a closer look at her.

"I'm obedient. I'm so good. Just like you."

The deeper meaning of the second half of the sentence was a bit offensive. Wen Zhile glared at him, took away the bottle, and carried Xiao Qi upstairs to feed her.

Before leaving, she said to Xiaojiu, and then said to Zhou Jihuai, "Husband, please talk to Xiaojiu for a while."

With this "husband" around, forget about talking to the child, I can even let him roll on the ground.

The man watched his wife go upstairs with a smile on his face. He only walked towards Xiaojiu when she was out of sight.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Xiaojiu say, "Hello, brother-in-law."

The smile on his face grew even wider: "Hello, sit down."

"Wait a minute."

Xiaojiu turned around and brought in the pile of gifts that he had bought when he came in through the door. It took him three times to get all of them.

"Brother-in-law, this is the first time we meet. This is the gift I bought for you and Xiaoqi."

Zhou Jihuai accepted it with a smile: "Thank you for the expense."

Xiaojiu smiled.

I thought it didn’t cost anything.

Thanks to God, he now has all the money he wants.

They chatted for a while, and Wen Zhile carried the baby downstairs.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere among the three of them, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

In his previous life, Zhou Jihuai died in 1989, so Xiaojiu definitely didn’t know him in her previous life. But Xingxing has always been there, so he and Xiaojiu must have had a very good relationship.

Now it has been continued.

Near noon, Zhou Jihuai invited Xiaojiu to have lunch.

Wen Zhile: "Xiaojiu has something else to do in the afternoon, so he has to go back to Shibei early."

"Brother Xiaojiu, are you going to school?"

"Which school are you in? I'm in Class 1, Grade 6, Central Primary School."

Next to this elementary school is the No. 1 Middle School in the city, the school he attended in his previous life.

Xiaojiu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't started school yet."

Qin Xingyao's eyes widened: "This is great!"

“…”

"Xingxing, you have to go back to school this afternoon."

Zhou Jihuai agreed: "My wife is right, Xingxing, why don't you call your father's driver to pick you up, or should I ask your cousin to pick you up?"

Qin Xingyao accused him in his heart for two seconds, and quickly replied: "Don't let my cousin answer the phone, my cousin's unit is closer to grandpa!"

"I won't let my dad pick me up. I'll take the bus by myself."

Zhou Jihuai teased: "Yo, you're still afraid of your parents."

Wen Zhile couldn't help laughing.

"Let me take you back. I'll stop by my workplace on the way."

"Then I'll take you there." Driving is so tiring, Zhou Jihuai definitely couldn't let Wen Zhile drive for so long by herself.

Zhou Jihuai first sent Wen Zhile to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then sent Qin Xingyao.

After arriving at the central primary school, he got off the car and sent Xingxing to school.

When I came back, I saw Xiaojiu staring at something outside the car in a daze.

He thought about what his wife had told him about Xiaojiu: "Xiaojiu, do you want to go to school? Brother-in-law can arrange it for you."

Xiaojiu was silent for a moment.

He has no obsession with going to school, but if he goes to school, he will be able to see his classmates and friends from his previous life.

But just like the heaven warned, too many friends will lead to failure. If he wants to live long in the mortal world, he must shrink his social circle as much as possible to avoid having his secret of immortality discovered.

If only I could age naturally...

This thought flashed through his mind, and Xiaojiu smiled bitterly.

He can't have all the good things in the world alone. He is satisfied to be with his family like this.

"No." He smiled, "Brother-in-law, my grades are not good."

He pointed outside and said, "My sister is there."

Zhou Jihuai looked over, smiling, and was not ready to leave.

"Your sister's unit has foreign friends visiting today, and the itinerary includes No. 1 Middle School."

He got out of the car and stood still.

At this moment, there were many plainclothes officers strolling around No. 1 Middle School. There was a row of cars parked in front of the school gate. A few guards got out of the front and back two cars first, and then the people in the middle cars got out one after another.

Wen Zhile saw his own car at a glance, made eye contact with Zhou Jihuai, and then followed the leader into the school with a smile.

Reporters and cameramen from Jingzhou TV followed both sides, taking photos and videos at all times.

Wen Zhile followed him into several classrooms, talking all the time. She translated every word the other person said for the leader.

After half an hour, it finally ended.

As they were walking out, Fang Mi's father took over and started chatting. Since she was not needed for the moment, Fang Mi came over and whispered, "Why didn't I see the one from your family?"

Wen Zhile couldn't help laughing: "Sister Fang Mi, my husband is right at the school gate. He's so conspicuous and you didn't see him. What are you thinking about?"

"Could it be that you are thinking about Jing Fan?"

"Who's thinking about him? I'm thinking about work."

Wen Zhile smiled but said nothing.

"But I do have news about Jing Fan."

Fang Mi couldn't help but ask: "What news?"

"I heard that he will be transferred back to Jingzhou next month."

"Jing Fan has been out training for a few years and has made a lot of achievements. He will probably stay when he comes back this time."

Wen Zhile looked at the leader in front of him and asked his daughter in a low voice: "How are you guys? Have you been in touch recently?"

"I called a few times."

Fang Mi blushed shamefully.

Wen Zhile:?

What happened that she didn't know about?

Fang Mi whispered: "Zhi Le, I think I like him a little bit."

Wen Zhile raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Congratulations."

Zhou Jihuai's childhood friends are the same age as him, and are also 31 years old this year, but they have not yet started a family, which has caused a lot of worry to their families.

Now it's finally going to be one.

"Zhi Le, is there a generation gap between you and your family?"

Fang Mi suddenly asked.

Wen Zhile: "No, I'm mature, hahaha."

Fang Mi laughed: "I am mature too, then I can rest assured."

"Pfft, don't worry, there won't be any."

"There's not even an eight-year age difference between me and my husband, and there's only a four-year age difference between you and Jing Fan, so there's even less of a difference."

Fang Mi touched his face with the back of his hand.

She was a little nervous when she expressed her feelings for Jing Fan for the first time.

In fact, she was being conservative. She liked Jing Fan more than just a little.

But ever since she was hurt by Xu Xiujie in college, she has closed her heart, focusing on study and work, being extremely cautious when it comes to relationships, and no longer willing to reveal her true feelings.

In recent years, she has met or called Jing Fan from time to time.

Although it was Jing Fan who took the initiative to make appointments every time and they only chatted politely when they met, he had unknowingly lived in her heart.

How did I do it without even realizing it? I didn't even notice it, and when I came to my senses, I couldn't refuse it anymore.

Since there is no way to refuse, just accept it.

Jing Fan sat at his desk, with several red-headed documents stamped with the official seal of Shenzhou government departments in front of him. He had two buttons of his white shirt undone and frowned from time to time.

He was so busy with work at the moment that he had no idea that he had already brought home the bright moon.
