Although the affairs of the Xie and Qin families were known to everyone in the Jixiang Brigade, Xie Heng and Qin Zheng, who were far away in the capital, still did not know about it.
Inside the military academy, Xie Heng watched Qin Zheng's smooth sailing since his relationship with Xu Zhiyi was confirmed, and now he had even become the Chief of Staff. He felt a surge of envy and jealousy. It was almost as if he had just told others that the organization was going to train him.
Looking at himself again, he was still the group leader after being with Zhang Yumei, and hadn't changed at all. Could he really trample Qin Zheng under his feet as Zhang Yumei said? Would Qin Zheng really die early?
Xie Heng sighed deeply. Thinking of his own uncertain future after completing his training and the possibility that Qin Zheng would be retained at the military academy, his unbalanced heart resented once again. For the first time, he began to doubt what Zhang Yumei had said.
Xie Heng tried hard to hide his emotions, "Qin Zheng, are you ready to go to the Xu family? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"No, you should take care of yourself first."
"Qin Zheng, you said you found the daughter of such a high-ranking official. Have you written back? Does your father know?"
Xie Heng was worried for himself and muttered to himself: Don't write a letter back, otherwise if my father finds out, he will definitely think that I have lost his face, and my status in Xie Dazhu's heart will also be lowered.
Qin Zheng looked at Xie Heng and asked doubtfully, "Since I've decided to marry Zhiyi, I naturally told my family, but I didn't tell them whose daughter she is. No matter whose daughter Zhiyi is, she is just Zhiyi in my heart. I'm attracted to her as a person."
Xie Heng was surprised when he heard it, "Really?"
Qin Zheng watched Xie Heng's expression change. Just a moment ago, he had a gloomy expression, but now it was bright again. "Has my relationship with Zhiyi affected him so much?" Zhiyi had never met him before. She even told him that Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei had ulterior motives and told me not to get along with them.
Xie Heng's reaction was really strange and confusing.
I'm not saying that, brother. Is it possible that what he cares about now is not your feelings, but your future?
Xie Heng was pleasantly surprised, yet simultaneously mocking Qin Zheng. Wasn't Qin Zheng truly a fool? He married such a good comrade, and had a father-in-law of such high status, yet he didn't even return to the village to show off. It was all good this way, though; the villagers were more willing to play hardball than soft. Anyway, the news of his marriage to the son of an official had been leaked, and it was a good thing Qin Zheng hadn't said anything. His family was sure to be prosperous these days, making everyone envious.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Qin Zheng and Xie Heng officially came with their gifts.
Xie Heng followed Xie Dazhu's advice and brought basic pastries, meat, fruit, cigarettes, and alcohol. Qin Zheng brought similar items. The two of them, carrying large and small bags, were caught by the aunts and other women chatting outside the family compound as soon as they entered.
"Oh, you two look so strange. Are you here to visit relatives? Whose house are you visiting?"
Xie Heng replied, "Auntie, I'm Yumei's boyfriend. I came today to visit Uncle Zhang on his first day."
"You are Yumei's ideal partner! You are so handsome."
"Who is this person?"
Before Qin Zheng could answer, a voice came from behind him.
"Auntie, this is my sister's boyfriend."
Everyone looked over following the voice and saw two figures standing behind Qin Zheng and Xie Heng. Those two people were Xu Zhiyi, who had just returned from get off work, and Xu Zhiyan, who was ordered by Xu Chengde to pick up Xu Zhiyi from get off work.
Xu Zhiyi walked forward, took Qin Zheng's arm, and introduced him, "Auntie, this is my boyfriend, Qin Zheng."
Although Xu Zhiyi said this many times, Qin Zheng's ears would still turn red every time he heard it.
Qin Zheng quickly said: "Hello, auntie, I am the one you understand, Qin Zheng."
The aunties in the family compound looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Zhiyi, you have good taste. They are such a perfect match."
"Zhiyi, did you just get off work? Oh, go home quickly, your dad must be waiting for you at home anxiously."
"Zhiyi, bring your partner to my house someday to get acquainted with me."
"Zhiyi, when are you two going to have your wedding? Let us know in advance."
“Zhi Yi,…”
“………”
Xu Zhiyi pulled Qin Zheng and replied as they walked: "Okay, auntie, I will tell you in advance when the time comes."
"Aunt, my father is still waiting for us at home, so I'm leaving first."
Xie Heng watched Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng leave, leaving him standing there in a daze.
"You are going to Zhang Dabing's house, right? Come on, I'll take you there." After saying that, she took Xie Heng away.
"Excuse me, auntie."
"No trouble, no trouble." It's not a bother for me. It's just that I've been trying to find out everything about you. I can go back and spread the news and make fun of Yu Zhaodi. Yu Zhaodi is the most annoying person in this compound. She clearly favors boys over girls, so why is she considered the good guy and us the bad guys?
Xu Zhiyi, Qin Zheng, and Xu Zhiyan walked to the door and released Qin Zheng's hand. "You're lucky today. Luckily, you ran into me and my little brother at the door. Otherwise, you would have been torn to pieces by them. They could have gotten all your information out of you without anyone noticing, and you'd become the subject of their after-dinner gossip."
Qin Zheng looked at the lost warmth in his hand, and looked at Xu Zhiyi's loosened hand, his eyes revealing grievance.
Xu Zhiyi looked at Qin Zheng, who was standing silently with his head down, and muttered to himself, "Damn, I really found myself a love-brained person." But this was fine. Right now, she only had a slight fondness for Qin Zheng, not love. If he was a love-brained person, it would be better for the two of them in the future.
