Chapter 42 Suspicion: Why Doesn't Dad Come Back Every Year? (1/2)



She wants to open an ice cream parlor.

This idea had been in her mind ever since she started selling yellow-skinned iced drinks. However, she had never been involved in iced drinks or run a business in either her past or present life. Entering the market without any knowledge of it would surely lead to failure, even for a reborn person.

Now that she has two months of experience, she can make a little money as long as she can rent a decent shop.

Summer in Jiangcheng lasts from May to December, and iced drinks can be sold for several months. In the fall, she can sell hot drinks. The main thing is that with a shop, she doesn't have to run around anymore, and they can follow her year after year.

A child only has a few years to spend with their parents and elders. Once they go to school and have classmates and friends, you will just be roommates who see each other two or three times a day.

Moreover, in her previous life, Zhou Xiaonian died of depression at the age of fifteen. Liang Guiying later heard from others that it was because the child did not receive enough care and love when he was young, and the psychological imbalance led to poor physical health.

Liang Guiying didn't know if what others said was right or wrong, but giving her granddaughter enough care and companionship was never a bad thing.

When Liang Guiying went back to pick up Zhou Xiaonian, she told Aunt Zhong that she wouldn't be setting up her stall the next day.

Aunt Zhong touched Zhou Xiaonian's face tenderly: "She needs to rest, otherwise we won't know what it's like outside every year. Shall we take her out to play tomorrow?"

The little girl didn't understand the first sentence, but she understood the second, and nodded excitedly: "Let's go out and play! Grandma, let's go out and play!"

"Okay, okay, Grandma will take you out to play tomorrow."

"Grandma, let's go play!"

"You even called me 'Auntie' when you went out to play. Auntie has really spoiled you. But Auntie has guests coming to her house tomorrow, so I won't be going."

"Buy candy, buy candy for Auntie!"

Zhong Bo came in with a grin: "You only buy candy for Auntie, but not for Grandpa Zhong?"

The little girl immediately called out, "Buy candy! Buy some for Auntie, buy some for Grandpa Zhong!"

One sentence was all it took to win over Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.

After teasing Zhou Xiaonian for a while, Liang Guiying asked Uncle Zhong about Zhou Yue's whereabouts: "It's been almost two months since she left Jiangcheng, and we haven't heard from her at all. I was thinking if I could send her a photo of Niannian. It would be good to see her growing up in a photo even though the child isn't with us."

Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Zhou Yue is in closed training, the location is confidential, and I have already retired from the army, so it's really impossible to find out."

Liang Guiying felt some regret, but more than that, she was worried.

The military training is so rigorous, can Zhou Yue's small frame handle it?

Liang Guiying took Zhou Xiaonian back, and Aunt Zhong interrogated her husband: "Tell me, you really couldn't contact Zhou Yue?"

Uncle Zhong immediately confessed: "There is a way, but it will implicate the people who help me and get punished. Wife, I have already retired from the army. Although comrades-in-arms are brothers for life, human relationships will eventually run out."

Instead of wasting these favors on such trivial matters, it's better to save them to help Zhou Yue in a crucial moment later. If I can help Zhou Yue become a pilot, then even if I die, I'll have the face to face Zhou Cheng'an."

"You're not wrong, it's just that Xiaonian is so pitiful."
