These questions have been lingering in Jiang Qing's mind. After drinking a little wine today, he took advantage of the alcohol to ask them.
"Why are you asking this?" Zhou Jincong frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I just wanted to ask, what's the matter? You don't want to talk about it?"
Jiang Qing looked at Zhou Jincong with clear eyes, without a trace of drunkenness.
"Not really, I'm just wondering why you're curious about my mom." Zhou Jincong said calmly, "My mom's last name is Zhou, and her home is in the village next to mine."
"Really?" Jiang Qing's face was sullen, his heart full of doubts.
What Zhou Jincong said was completely different from what he thought.
But he didn't ask any more questions about Zhou's mother.
"We have to go to Shenzhen for business in a while. Have you told your wife?"
"Not yet." Zhou Jincong frowned slightly and looked at the sky with a melancholy look on his face. "I have to separate from her again."
"Brother, you are here to do business, not to say goodbye."
Jiang Qing shook his head helplessly, then patted Zhou Jincong on the shoulder and said, "Calm down. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Um."
After seeing Jiang Qing off, Zhou Jincong went to find Ye Wangshu and told him about Jiang Qing's inquiry.
"Honey, I've always felt something was amiss between Mom and Jiang Qing. Although Mom sometimes looks like she really dislikes Jiang Qing, she actually pays special attention to him."
"I noticed it too, but... Mom has been at home all the time, and Jiang Qing is from Beijing, so they shouldn't have any connection."
After hearing what Zhou Jincong said, Ye Wangshu shook his head, "I always feel that there is something wrong between them. Maybe they are hiding some secrets."
Looking at Ye Wangshu's serious and thoughtful expression, Zhou Jincong felt somewhat helpless. "Don't overthink it. If Mom and Jiang Qing really have some connection, we'll all know sooner or later."
Ye Wangshu nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and let the matter go for the time being.
"I'm planning to go to Beijing with Ye Wanwan in a couple of days. It shouldn't take too long."
"It just so happens that I'm going to Shenzhen too. I've done some research with Jiang Qing and the others before, and there's news that Jiang Qing said he's going to vigorously develop Shenzhen."
Ye Wangshu knew that Shenzhen would develop into a first-tier city, and that Zhou Jincong had made his fortune there in his previous life.
However, everything there is still in its initial stages, and it can be said that there are good and bad people mixed together, and there are many hidden dangers.
"You must be careful and cautious after you go there, and don't trust others easily, okay?"
Zhou Jincong nodded and looked at Ye Wangshu reluctantly, "Wife, we are going to separate again."
"A temporary separation is for a better life!" Ye Wangshu smiled and pinched Zhou Jincong's face, "So I have to let you separate from me temporarily."
"kindness."
Zhou Jincong buried his head in Ye Wangshu's neck and shoulders, feeling very depressed.
When Ye Wangshu heard Zhou Jincong's soft "hmm", he inexplicably felt that this man had a hint of tears in his voice.
"This isn't like you at all." Ye Wangshu pinched the back of Zhou Jincong's neck. "During this time apart, you must think of me!"
"I'm already missing you even before we've even separated. What should I do?"
"Then take a few more glances." Ye Wangshu didn't expect Zhou Jincong to say such a thing. For a moment, he felt a little sad and disappointed.
Time seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye. Zhou Jincong looked at Ye Wangshu getting on the train and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop looking, we have to get on the bus to Shenzhen."
Jiang Qing patted Zhou Jincong's shoulder to pull him out of his reluctance.
The two then boarded the train to Shenzhen.
Sitting on the train, Zhou Jincong's mind kept echoing with Ye Wangshu's words to him.
Ye Wanwan bought two soft sleeper beds, with Ye Wangshu and her sharing the upper and lower bunks. After the train started, Ye Wanwan sat on Ye Wangshu's bed.
"Wangshu, I'm so nervous!"
Ye Wanwan held her face in her hands and looked at Ye Wangshu, "It took a lot of effort for me to go to university in Beijing this time!"
"Wasn't it Mayor Ye and the others who arranged this?" Ye Wangshu recalled what Ye Wanwan had said to him before, feeling somewhat confused.
If I remember correctly, Ye Wanwan was talking about Mayor Ye and his wife helping her get the qualification to go to school in Beijing!
"I'm only qualified to take the exam, but the written test and interview took me a lot of time! There are so many people competing with me, only one in a hundred can make it!"
Ye Wanwan stared out the car window, recalling the scenes of her studying those days.
"My hardships seem like just yesterday, but now I'm on the train to Beijing."
"Since you earned it on your own, why are you so nervous?"
Ye Wangshu hadn't expected that Ye Wanwan had fought for this spot herself. He felt a mixture of envy and admiration for the moment, "You're amazing!"
"Hehe!" Ye Wanwan scratched her head sheepishly. "I just wish my parents and brother could help so I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"If they really arranged this, you should be nervous. The courses in Daxue are very difficult. If you develop a study habit before you start school, you will be able to adapt better when the time comes!"
Ye Wanwan nodded. "Actually, I'm worried about my life in Beijing. What if I run into someone who's always nitpicking?"
"When the enemy comes, we will stop him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. If it comes, we will deal with it."
Ye Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, but the sheriff's expression remained.
"But don't meddle in other people's business and control your emotions. After all, you're the only one in Jing City, and if you get into danger, no one can help you."
Thinking back to Ye Wanwan's personality, Ye Wangshu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry about that. I'm not alone. I'll get along well with others, but I, Ye Wanwan, am not someone who shy away from trouble."
"Be careful, okay?"
It would have been fine if Ye Wanwan hadn't said the last part, but after she did, Ye Wangshu became even more worried.
The two chatted on the train, and time passed by
As soon as I got off the train, everything I saw was different from before.
By the 1970s, the capital had already taken shape as a major city. Looking around, one felt a sense of grandeur and vastness.
It's still early and the sky is just getting light.
"Wangshu, let's go watch the flag-raising ceremony!"
"Today? Is there a flag-raising ceremony today?" Ye Wangshu looked puzzled. If she remembered correctly, the flag-raising ceremony seemed to be on the first, eleventh and twenty-first day of every month.
"Yes! Today is Monday, but... compared to the ceremonies during the holidays, it's a lot different."
Ye Wanwan glanced at Ye Wangshu sheepishly, "When we get the chance, we must watch a flag-raising ceremony."
"Okay, I will definitely come to Jing City again if I have the chance in the future."
The vastness of Beijing is unmatched by other cities, and Ye Wangshu has a natural liking for it.
And she believed that sooner or later she would stand on this land in the spotlight of thousands of people.
Ye Wanwan's luggage had been sent to the school long ago, and she only brought a few clothes with her, which did not affect their trip to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
