After breakfast, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school went to school. Zhou Hongyu took the day off and went to her parents' home with her son-in-law, who hadn't been back for five years, to deliver some things.
Granny Chang helped tidy up. Old Man Chang usually brought back a lot of good things from his old friends, and she put them all up.
Granny Chang repeatedly warned, "Xingwang, when you go to your mother-in-law's house, don't have a long face. Be sweet-talking and take good care of Hongyu. Only then will your mother-in-law feel at ease. Anyone would be furious if you only came back once every five years!"
After speaking, he paused, then glanced in a certain direction.
Zhou Hongyu remained unmoved, not even lifting her eyelids.
A little figure came over and hugged her arm. Chang Meiying sweetly pleaded, "Mommy, I won't go to school today. Can I go to Grandma's house with you?"
"not good!"
Zhou Hongyu called to Granny Chang, who was busy packing, "Mom, shouldn't you spare some time and send Meiying to the preschool class first? I think she doesn't want to go to school today!"
"That won't do, Mei-ying! If you don't go to school, you'll become a little fool!"
Grandma Chang disregarded everything else and began arranging to send Chang Meiying to the preschool.
So, Chang Meiying reluctantly picked up her schoolbag and went out with her grandmother.
Chen Zhaodi was unusually slow today. Normally, she would leave home before her children went to school, but she was still at home when she was about to be late.
"Zhou Hongyu, how are you and your second brother planning to get back to Zhoujia Village? How about I lend you my bicycle?"
Zhou Hongyu's women's bicycle had long been taken to the Wu family by her unlucky eldest son.
"Sister-in-law, thank you, but it's no need. We'll take the car later." Chang Xingwang cleaned up the mess left by Granny Chang.
Taking a car...
Chen Zhaodi felt completely unwell.
Zhou Hongyu once stayed at a hotel with a leader!
Zhou Hongyu still has a married life even in middle age!
Zhou Hongyu has a car to ride in!
...
She deserved it; she shouldn't have stayed and put up with this kind of treatment!
Chen Zhaodi pushed her bicycle out the door with a sullen face.
Once everything was ready, Zhou Hongyu and Chang Xingwang went out.
Xiao Zhuang leaned against the car door and waited for a while, while several neighbors gathered around the stranger who had driven into the alley to inquire about the situation.
Upon seeing them, Xiao Zhuang raised his hand in relief and called out, "Brother Xing, Sister-in-law!"
"Hey, Xingwang, you seem to know this young man driving the car quite well. Introduce us, my Yuting is very skillful and still unmarried..."
In the 1980s, owning a car was considered a sign of being a superior person.
Xiao Zhuang scratched his head and chuckled, "Auntie, don't make things difficult for Xing Ge. I've told you so many times, this car belongs to the company, it has nothing to do with me!"
Ignoring all advice, Granny Liu squeezed next to Chang Xingwang and spat wildly: "Xingwang, if Yuting hadn't been delayed by going to the countryside a few years ago, how could she have gotten so good to you, her friend from out of town? Yuting is practically your sister. If only back then..."
Her eyes glanced at Zhou Hongyu.
Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow.
What happened back then? Tell me.
If nothing had happened back then, Chang Xingwang would have been your son-in-law!
hehe.
When Zhou Hongyu and Chang Xingwang got married, Granny Liu almost set off firecrackers in the street to celebrate.
Although it was a pity that the neighbors in the alley could not be together, Liu Pozi's second son-in-law was not bad. He came from a cadre family, and his parents both had pensions. Most importantly, he had a good job as a great scientist!
Unlike Chang Xingwang, who spent half his life working as a technician in remote areas and rarely went home.
Zhou Hongyu's eyes were frightening, and Granny Liu stepped aside, muttering under her breath.
"What's with the attitude? Do you think Chang Xingwang is head over heels in love with you? If it weren't for the fact that you're practically a widow, have given birth to four children for the Chang family, and have such a bunch of domineering family members, my Yujie could easily make you whimper!"
Only they themselves knew that Yu Jie still maintained frequent contact with Chang Xingwang!
Yu Jie knew far more about Chang Xingwang than Zhou Hongyu did!
After getting in the car, Zhou Hongyu watched Xiao Zhuang drive the car out of the alley and asked Chang Xingwang curiously, "Your company has such good benefits now, you even provide a car?"
Last time, Zhou Hongyu was in charge of entertaining Secretary Zhao and got a ride along; nobody else gets that kind of treatment.
Subconsciously, she regarded Chang Xingwang as a skilled worker who would build China's borders; otherwise, what else could a high school student do?
Xiao Zhuang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my workplace doesn't offer this kind of treatment. I was just talking to the old lady because I didn't want to talk to her. This is a loan from a relative in Beijing. I'm just doing you a favor!"
Base, I apologize for offending you here, there are some things I can't say to your sister-in-law!
Chang Xingwang put his hand on Zhou Hongyu's waist: "We've already made arrangements with the cold storage. Let's go."
"Hmm," Zhou Hongyu replied casually.
She felt that Chang Xingwang's workplace was not so simple. Perhaps he was a maintenance worker in a classified unit, and he would suddenly lose contact from time to time, only sending letters back every six months or so. If you didn't know the situation, you would think he was gone!
But if you don't want to tell the truth, then don't. Who cares!
Xiao Zhuang glanced at the leaders and their spouses, who were about to sit together, through the rearview mirror, and breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.
I'm so glad I believed that!
It's hard to believe that Xiao Zhuang, such an honest and upright person, started lying and deceiving people after becoming Chief Chang's bodyguard. He's so shameful.
Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to lie to you. Blame the commander!
The car drove smoothly to Zhoujia Village, but near Zhou Pozi's house, a group of people blocked the way.
Xiao Zhuang stopped and honked the horn.
"Who are you? You look unfamiliar! What are you doing in our Zhoujia Village?"
The current social atmosphere is conservative and the public security is poor, so local villagers are very wary of strangers who suddenly appear.
