Grandma Tan groaned and woke up.
Tan Zhe leaned over in surprise: "Mom, you're awake?"
Grandma Tan's usually hazy eyes finally cleared up a little: "Zhe?"
Tan Zhe excitedly grasped Grandma Tan's hand tightly: "Yes, Mom, it's me, Zhe! You finally recognized me." As he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.
Grandma Tan thought of something and hurriedly tried to sit up, but accidentally aggravated the wound on her stomach, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Tan Zhe quickly pressed down on Grandma Tan: "Mom, your stomach wound has just been stitched up, you can't move around too much."
Grandma Tan grabbed Tan Zhe's hand anxiously: "The door, the door is gone...it's gone."
Tan Zhe was stunned: "The door is gone? That's impossible. I did detect abnormal energy fluctuations. There should definitely be a door there."
Grandma Tan shook her head anxiously, "Really...really not here, baby...no, it's not...baby..."
Grandma Tan suddenly realized something and looked at Tan Zhe: "The person... is... useful."
Tan Zhe quickly understood what Grandma Tan meant: "Mom, you mean someone else is using it, so you can't use that door anymore?"
Grandma Tan nodded vigorously: "It's...maybe..."
Suddenly, the face of Xing Zhaozhao, whom he had met once before, flashed through Tan Zhe's mind. He had accidentally met her once at the foot of the mountain, but when he caught up with her, she had already disappeared. It seemed to be her. She didn't actually disappear suddenly; she went back to the other side of the mountain, right?
Tan Zhe's heart skipped a beat with excitement, and he murmured to himself, "Could it really be her?"
Grandma Tan gripped Tan Zhe's hand tightly, looking at him intently: "Find... her."
She missed home so much. Now that no one was stopping her anymore, and she was already at the door, she couldn't bear the thought of it being closed to her. She had waited all these years. She didn't understand why the door had abandoned her and let someone else use it. If that door was destined to be used by only one person at a time, then if that person was gone, could she use it again?
Having been confused for decades, Old Mrs. Tan's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance. She wanted to go home, and no one could stop her.
Xing Zhaozhao, holding Xiao Hongling, sat on the tractor heading to town with Gao Mingcheng and the other two children when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.
Gao Mingcheng, who was sitting right next to her, sensed something was wrong and turned to look at her with concern, asking, "What's wrong?"
Xing Zhaozhao frowned in surprise, shrank her shoulders, and said, "I don't know, I suddenly feel a little cold."
"Cold?" Gao Mingcheng looked up at the bright sun overhead, then reached out and touched her forehead with concern. "Did you catch a heatstroke?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head: "It's gone. I don't feel anything anymore."
"After we finish the banquet at the Fu family's house, let's go to the hospital to get checked out," Gao Mingcheng said.
Xing Zhaozhao was a little unhappy: "There's no need to be so nervous, is there? I'm really fine now."
“Even if nothing’s wrong, a visit to the hospital won’t take much time. If it’s a heatstroke, you still have three children at home. Are you really okay with that?” Gao Mingcheng asked.
Seeing that he was bringing up the three children, Xing Zhaozhao had no choice but to reluctantly nod in agreement: "Well... okay then."
Today is the wedding day of Fu Hong and Dong Cheng.
When Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng arrived with their child, Fu Hong and Dong Cheng, dressed in trendy green military uniforms with big red flowers on their chests, were welcoming their guests at home.
Dong Cheng was still not fully recovered; his face was pale, and after standing for a short while, he started to shiver.
Fu Hong told him to go back inside and rest, but he refused, saying, "How can I do that? Today is our big day, and I'm the groom. I have to stay outside to greet the guests."
Fu Hong put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't forget you married into the family. It's my job to make the decisions. If you're told to go back and rest, then go back and rest."
Dong Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll head back."
Fu Hong waved her hand impatiently: "Hurry up."
Dong Cheng turned around and took a step: "Ouch, Xiao Hong, I feel dizzy."
Fu Hong quickly went over and helped him into the house: "I told you not to keep being so stubborn."
When she returned, her pretty face was flushed. As she straightened her clothes, which she had accidentally messed up, she scolded him with a mixture of shyness and reproach: "If I ever believe his nonsense again, I'm a pig."
Fu Lan covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
Xing Zhaozhao asked with a smile, "It's only been a few days, why don't you wait until he's feeling better before having the wedding? What's the rush?"
Fu Hong handed the two little ones some melon seeds and candy, saying, "He's about to be discharged from the hospital, and he's already separated from his family. He doesn't have a place to live for the time being, so we thought it would be better to just get married and save ourselves the trouble."
Xing Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow: "Even if they've separated, he's still part of their team. You think he can't even get a room? You're kidding me."
Fu Hong's smile froze. It seemed that it really was true.
She glared in the direction of her room: "Forget it, it's a joyous occasion today, so I won't argue with him. He's already married into the family, and he's mine now. If he still tries to fool me, he'll be sorry."
Hongyu's pockets were stuffed with candy and melon seeds, his mouth was bulging, and his bright black eyes looked around. He saw only strangers and no other children, so he became restless and tugged at Xing Zhaozhao's clothes: "Mom, I want to go next door to play with Brother Xiaoshi."
Xing Zhaozhao patted her son's head: "Okay, stay with your brother and don't bother your godmother and godfather."
“Okay.” Hongyu obediently agreed, then took her brother’s hand and ran to the old principal’s house next door to play with Xiao Qinshi.
Not long after the two little ones left, another guest arrived outside—it was Zhao Bin.
Because of the previous theft case, Zhao Bin and Zhou Haomin came to Dacheng Street several times and became familiar with the local residents.
Unexpectedly, the Fu family even invited Captain Zhao from the Public Security Brigade. The way the neighbors who came to the banquet looked at Fu Hong changed.
Fu Hong, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered and at a loss. She hadn't invited him.
