When Zhou Chaoyang saw Zhou Shixun and Sheng Anning, he quickly stood up holding the bowl, still stuffing popcorn in his mouth, and came back smiling.
When he came up to her, Sheng An Ning was a little surprised: "Why are you here so early?"
Zhou Chaoyang wiped the corner of his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth, and was extremely happy: "I took two days off, and I got here before dawn today. That's why I arrived early. I saw you were not at home, so I wandered around nearby, and happened to meet someone making popcorn, so I asked your landlord to borrow a bowl."
As he said that, he stuffed a bowl of popcorn into Sheng An Ning's hand and looked at Zhou Shixun with a smile: "Brother, I have nowhere to go to rest, so I thought you have a place to stay, so I came to stay for a night and buy some things in the city. You will take me in, right?"
Sheng An Ning held the basin with amusement and called Zhou Chaoyang to come in: "You are not sensible. If you ask me about this, I will definitely let you live here."
Zhou Chaoyang happily took Sheng Anning's arm: "Sister-in-law is still the best."
Following Sheng An Ning into the house, she began to mutter: "My mother and my sister left, I originally said I would come to see them off, but I didn't have a day off, so I wanted to scold my sister."
After that, he waited for Zhou Shixun to enter the room and close the door before he said mysteriously, "Brother, I heard at work that Zhang Zhongyi committed suicide. Did you know?"
Zhou Shixun was slightly stunned: "No."
Lu Changfeng didn't tell me when he came here yesterday, so it was obvious that he didn't know either.
Zhou Chaoyang immediately perked up, feeling it was an honor to provide his elder brother with some gossip: "He hanged himself the night before yesterday. I heard that his tongue was this long." He even gestured after saying this.
Sheng An Ning was surprised: "Why would he commit suicide? He confessed that Zhou Luming was the mastermind, so he shouldn't be sentenced to death, right?"
Zhou Chaoyang quickly explained to Sheng Anning: "It's not calculated like that. Destroying a military highway is not an ordinary criminal case. This is a military court. Whether he is dead or alive is not important at the moment. What's important is his family. It will affect people for several generations. And his backer is the Hu family."
Then he counted on his fingers and told Sheng An Ning about the Hu family's network of relationships. He was somewhat relieved after he finished speaking: "It's also fortunate that Zhou Luming is not a relative, otherwise we would be implicated. Even so, we will also accept the investigation. After all, Zhou Luming is still a member of our family now."
He then cursed Zhou Luming's eight generations of ancestors in a very heroic manner.
Sheng An Ning had never thought that there would be so many implications: "What should we do? Will it affect your future?"
Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand: "That's not the case, but this will let everyone know in advance that Zhou Shixun is my eldest brother. I think my grandfather will definitely come."
He frowned and said, "My grandfather has a bad temper. If he says something unpleasant, just ignore him."
Sheng An Ning smiled: "Your grandfather hasn't come yet, and you're already saying that he's not good. If he finds out, he'll definitely be the first to punish you."
Zhou Chaoyang laughed and called Sheng Anning to eat popcorn: "Eat it, I think it's quite delicious."
Sheng Anning sat opposite Zhou Chaoyang, eating popcorn and listening to her talk about Zhou's relatives and the Hu family.
Zhou Shixun was worried that Zhou Chaoyang would die of thirst after talking so much nonsense, so he went to pour two glasses of water and placed them in front of the two of them.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Shixun cheerfully, "Brother, don't worry. Grandpa and Dad will definitely start investigating the truth of second brother's sacrifice in Beijing. Don't be fooled by Dad's smiling face and gentle words and deeds. He is actually a good guy. Dad is very powerful. He is a typical smiling tiger."
Sheng Anning looked at Zhou Chaoyang with amusement. Is there anyone who would comment on his own father like this?
Zhou Shixun just felt that Zhou Chaoyang talked too much nonsense: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'm going to buy some groceries."
Zhou Chaoyang stood up immediately: "How can I let you go? I'll go buy it. My sister-in-law and I will buy it and I'll pay."
Zhou Shixun glanced at Sheng Anning: "No, she is still sick."
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Sheng Anning suspiciously. Doesn't she look sick? After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I can go by myself. I'll go buy a fish."
Sheng An Ning was too embarrassed to let Zhou Chaoyang go, so she stood up and followed her: "Let's go, we'll talk while we walk, let your brother rest for a while, he just walked a long way."
Zhou Chaoyang followed Sheng An Ning out with a smirk, took Sheng An Ning's arm and whispered, "You and my eldest brother have a really good relationship. I've heard a lot about it at work. I feel like people here are really good at making up rumors."
Sheng An Ning raised her eyebrows: "What did you hear?"
Zhou Chaoyang naturally couldn't say the bad things he heard: "It's nothing, anyway, I see that you and my eldest brother have a good relationship. I heard that there are Yellow River carp for sale in this season, let's go and have a look."
Sheng An Ning smiled, knowing that Zhou Chaoyang was a smart girl who would not believe everything she heard, but would not spread gossip either. She thought of Lu Changfeng again: "Did you know that Lu Changfeng was divorced?"
Zhou Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened and then brightened: "Divorced?"
Sheng An Ning nodded: "What your elder brother said must be correct. Did you know Lu Changfeng before?"
Zhou Chaoyang didn't say anything. After a while of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Why did Lu Changfeng get divorced?"
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "I don't know about that. After all, your eldest brother doesn't like to ask as much as we do. I'll find a way to ask him later. But I heard from them that Lu Changfeng is going to the front line this time."
Zhou Chaoyang was not surprised: "They redeploy troops every year. Now the situation is tense, so a large number of people will definitely be transferred over."
Seeing that Zhou Chaoyang was not worried at all, Sheng An Ning reminded him, "You won't be able to see him then, right? And you don't know when you'll be able to come back after you leave."
Zhou Chaoyang was in a good mood: "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with him. Let's go, there will be no fish left soon."
As long as Lu Changfeng is not mentioned, Zhou Chaoyang starts chattering again.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, two young men in yellow-green jackets grabbed a woman selling insoles in a frivolous manner and tried to collect stall fees, one yuan a day.
The old lady was so frightened that her face turned pale. She couldn't sell a single insole in a whole day. She kept trembling while holding her bag and saying nice things.
Zhou Chaoyang rolled up his sleeves and went to stand up for the weak without saying a word.
Being held tightly by Sheng An Ning, she wasn't sure she could beat the two thugs.
Zhou Chaoyang was very angry: "Look at those two yellow dogs, they were the leaders before, now they have changed their ways and started bullying people again, I'm going to beat them up, who dares to bully a lady selling insoles?"
Sheng Anning pulled her: "Aren't you afraid of being at a disadvantage?"
Zhou Chaoyang glared: "What are you afraid of? If I were afraid of him, I would be his grandson!"
After he finished speaking, his expression froze, and he looked behind Sheng An Ning in a daze.
Sheng An Ning looked back in confusion, and instantly understood Zhou Chaoyang's petrification.
Lu Changfeng was standing not far away at some point, holding a big carp in his hand.
