Chapter 81 It’s Time to Find a Wife
When Zhou Jianguo and Zhang Qiuxia rode their bicycles to the food street, it was already empty.
Everything returned to normal, with people coming and going and the diners on the street bustling with activity.
As if nothing had happened.
Time seems to be able to bury everything.
The two men searched for a long time like headless flies but found nothing. Finally, they saw a patrolling policeman and immediately ran up to ask.
Because such a big incident happened, the police station temporarily dispatched additional police officers on duty.
After the two of them explained their intentions in a flurry of words, the police on duty learned that they were Zhou Yi's parents and immediately arranged for a police car to take them to the hospital.
It happened to be the Third Municipal Hospital, and I met Zhou Yi's aunt on the first floor of the inpatient building.
During the days that the old man was in the hospital, it was basically Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Aihua, brother and sister, who took turns taking care of him. Zhou Jianjun never showed up.
Upon hearing the purpose of the two people's visit, Zhou Aihua was surprised and said, "I just heard someone in the ward say that a heroic police officer was sent in. I didn't expect it to be Zhou Yi."
Zhang Qiuxia wiped away her tears and said, "I don't want him to be a hero. I just want my Zhou Yi to be safe and sound."
Zhou Jianguo said, "What are you doing? Didn't the police officer who brought us here just now say that Zhou Yi is fine?"
The three of them asked along the way and finally found Zhou Yi's ward.
Zhang Qiuxia rushed in and ran to her son, looking him up and down. When she saw his thickly bandaged hands and the gauze on his abdomen, tears immediately came to her eyes.
Zhou Yi repeatedly comforted her: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm really fine."
Although Zhou Jianguo didn't cry, he felt relieved and his expression eased a lot until he saw his son's condition.
When Zhou Jianguo learned that Wu Yongcheng was Zhou Yi's leader, he grabbed Wu Yongcheng's hand and the two "old fathers" began to talk.
Zhou Jianguo: "Thank you for your high regard for our Zhou Yi. If he disobeys you at work, you can beat him."
Wu Yongcheng: "Thank you for raising such an outstanding son who has made contributions to our country and people. However, we are police officers and we will not hit anyone, especially our comrades."
Zhou Jianguo: "Yes, yes, the leader is right. I was confused. When I was in school, I told the teacher that if he didn't obey, he could be beaten. I thought it was the school's fault."
Wu Yongcheng: "Even in school, you can't beat them. Children need guidance. Beating alone won't do."
Seeing the two people's enthusiastic conversation becoming increasingly awkward, Zhou Yi immediately intervened, "Captain Wu, didn't you say you had a report to finish? Didn't Director Xie just rush you?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I still have to finish the report. Well, brother and sister-in-law, you two should sit with Zhou Yi for a while. I'll go get busy first."
Turning to Zhou Yi, he said, "Just focus on recuperating. Don't worry about work these few days. Follow the doctor's instructions. When you're discharged from the hospital, go home and rest for a few days. I'll give you a vacation."
Wu Yongcheng was walking out, and Zhou Jianguo insisted on seeing him off. Finally, after some excuses, the two of them left together.
"Aunt, how is my grandpa?" Zhou Yi asked.
"The doctor said he's fine and will probably be discharged in the next two days. By the way, your grandfather told me that after he's discharged from the hospital, he won't be going back to the old house. He wants to go to your house instead."
Zhou Yi nodded.
My aunt frowned and said, "Where can you live in your house? Why do the second son and his family of three live in the old house? If it were you, I would say they should get out."
Zhou Yi replied calmly: "Well, they left immediately."
"Oh." Auntie was suddenly stunned. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Yi casually mentioned the matter of his second uncle signing the letter of commitment. Of course, he only mentioned the result and did not explain the specific process.
The aunt asked in shock, "Is this true? How could that crazy woman Wang Cui'e get the second son to sign this? And their scoundrel son Xiaokai will definitely quarrel with you."
Zhou Yi picked up the Jianlibao bottle on the bedside table, took a sip and said, "They don't dare."
The aunt looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief, then at her sister-in-law.
Seeing Zhang Qiuxia nod, her aunt immediately smiled with relief: "Or maybe it's just that my eldest nephew is really capable. Even the second brother's family is so rude that you can actually control them."
Zhang Qiuxia smiled and said, "Hey, they're young now. I don't understand it either. I'll just follow his instructions."
"That's great. When you move back, tell me and I'll ask your uncle to find some people to help with the move."
Zhou Yi's uncle was a painter, a small contractor with five or six workers under him. Usually, he would take on jobs outside and then lead them to work.
Although they are not rich, their conditions are indeed much better than those of the eldest and second eldest brothers.
This is probably the reason why my aunt dares to confront the second son and his wife every time they quarrel.
"I'll listen to my mother and find an auspicious day." Zhou Yi said with a smile. He knew that the older generation all paid attention to this.
"Then your current house is empty, right?" Auntie suddenly asked.
Zhang Qiuxia said: "Zhou Yi said that he would live alone in the future."
My aunt clapped her hands and said, "Oh, do we have to find a wife for Zhou Yi?"
Zhou Yi almost vomited after taking a sip of Jianlibao.
When Zhang Qiuxia heard this, she immediately became excited and started discussing with her aunt which family had a good daughter.
As he was speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Zhou Yi thought it was his father who came back, so he looked up and saw Xu Nian pushing the door and walking in.
When Xu Nian saw that there were two other people in the room, he was immediately stunned.
Zhang Qiuxia and her aunt, who were chatting animatedly, were also stunned.
Zhou Yi quickly introduced: "This is our colleague from the Municipal Bureau, Xu Nian. This is my mother and my aunt."
"Hello, auntie, hello, auntie." Xu Nian greeted them quickly.
Zhang Qiuxia and her aunt laughed and said, "Oh, great, great, Zhou Yi has such a beautiful colleague. I haven't heard him mention it."
Xu Nian was holding some fruits in his hand, smiled politely, and then placed the fruits on the bedside.
Zhou Yi quickly said no.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nian said, "I didn't buy it."
"Huh? Who bought that?"
"Someone sent it here, saying it's for the hero of Hongcheng." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Zhou Yi blushed. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with such treatment and honor after sitting on the bench for eight years before his rebirth.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Zhou Yi asked.
Xu Nian's face flushed slightly, she bit her lip and whispered, "Isn't it because I'm worried about you?"
Zhang Qiuxia and her aunt's eyes suddenly lit up. They kept looking back and forth between the two of them, looking at Zhou Yi with a smile.
"I'm fine, I'm doing fine. You should go back quickly. It's not safe at night."
My aunt immediately said, "Zhou Yi, look at what you said. She's a police officer, so why would she be unsafe?"
Zhou Yi knew they had misunderstood, and knew what they were thinking: "Aunt, Xu Nian is not a police officer, she is a forensic doctor from our city bureau."
The expressions of the two people who were originally very excited suddenly froze.
Zhang Qiuxia asked, "What is a forensic doctor?"
