Sheng An Ning was a little surprised. Why would someone come to visit at this time?
I put down my bowl and chopsticks and hurried over. It was a very unfamiliar man, about the same age as Zhou Shixun, slightly shorter, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular facial features.
The man was stunned when he saw Sheng An Ning, and then he saw Zhou Shixun behind Sheng An Ning, his eyes lit up: "You really live here, I asked all the way here, is this your sister-in-law? Hello, my name is Mao Dazhuang."
Sheng An Ning quickly greeted him with a smile, thinking that this should be Zhou Shixun's comrade-in-arms, and let him in.
Mao Dazhuang was so excited when he saw Zhou Shixun that he kept saying, "I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. How are you? Are you feeling better? How could you get injured in the Second Institute?"
Obviously he had a very good relationship with Zhou Shixun, so he answered questions one after another without any hesitation.
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "No big problem, aren't you busy over there?"
The two were soldiers of the same year, but Mao Dazhuang was honest and simple. After demobilization, he returned to the village to become the party secretary, and he did a good job.
Sheng Anning called Mao Dazhuang to sit down, and hurried out to buy some sesame cakes. They had only cooked for two people, so it was definitely not enough.
Thinking about Mao Dazhuang's appearance, it was obvious that he had done heavy farm work. He bought ten sesame cakes and half a roast chicken and took it back.
When she returned, she was still excitedly reminiscing about the past with Zhou Shixun, patting her thigh excitedly while talking: "Seeing that you are doing well now, I am relieved. If you hadn't carried me out of the pile of dead bodies, I wouldn't be alive today."
Zhou Shixun didn't take it to heart at all: "It's all in the past, and it's what I should do."
Mao Dazhuang sighed: "There is no such thing as should or shouldn't. If I had been more careful at the beginning, there wouldn't be any accidents. We clearly followed the road signs at the time, so how did we end up in a minefield?"
He slapped his thigh and said, "We should have listened to you and walked east. But Captain, why did you disappear after you finished speaking?"
Zhou Shixun was stunned for a moment: "When did you see me? I hadn't arrived yet."
Mao Dazhuang was a little unconvinced: "How could it not be you? You look exactly the same. I even told Xiaoliu and the others that the captain ran so fast that we couldn't catch up with him."
Sheng Anning was originally listening to the story with great interest, but when she heard this, her first reaction was that Mao Dazhuang met Zhou Luancheng.
Zhou Shixun frowned, obviously realizing that it was most likely Zhou Luancheng.
However, that place was some distance away from where Zhou Luancheng died. According to the time Mao Dazhuang said, Zhou Luancheng had died the day before.
So Zhou Luancheng did not leave because of injury, he was seriously injured only later.
Because it was too troublesome to explain, Zhou Shixun did not continue the topic and called Mao Dazhuang to eat.
Mao Dazhuang was not polite. While eating, he sighed to Zhou Shixun: "It is the spring planting season now. I am too busy. I have to count the work points every day and watch everyone planting the land. Many people are irresponsible and just want to live a carefree life. It is really too hard to work."
As he spoke, he sighed and recalled that the days in the army were better.
Mao Dazhuang did not rest after lunch. He mainly came to see Zhou Shixun. Seeing that he was fine, he hurried to the agricultural machinery station to check the equipment, and then took the bus back to the village.
Sheng An Ning waited for Zhou Shixun to send Mao Dazhuang back before asking curiously, "You said Zhou Luancheng was fine at the time, why didn't he show up?"
Since Zhou Luming's frame-up failed, why not go back and settle accounts with him and expose him?
And who hurt Zhou Luancheng later?
It’s really brain-burning just thinking about it.
Zhou Shixun was also unclear. What happened back then was like a mystery, with no clues at all. Only if there was a major move, or Zhou Luancheng showed up alive, could the truth be explained.
What Sheng An Ning didn't expect was that Dai Xueming submitted an application the next day, saying that there was no one at home to do farm work and he wanted to go back to earn work points.
Originally it was a voluntary thing, so the hospital approved Dai Xueming's request, but told him with regret that there might not be such classes in the future. Even if there were, Dai Xueming had already wasted an opportunity and it would be impossible for him to come a second time.
Dai Xueming insisted on going home.
Sheng An Ning was shocked when she heard this. Was he running away because he felt guilty?
The classmates in the class were also very surprised, because Dai Xueming had good grades among them and could work in the commune health center when he returned.
By then, you will have a commercial grain household registration, and you will never have to worry about food for the rest of your life.
Li Guiling also felt sorry: "He will graduate in one month, why doesn't he persist?"
An Xiuyu glanced at Sheng An Ning and didn't dare to make trouble, although she felt that Sheng An Ning made Dai Xueming lose face, so she left.
Dai Xueming left and no useful information was found from him. The days that followed became much calmer.
Sheng An Ning was unwilling to give in, but if those people hiding in the dark didn't move, they wouldn't be able to discover anything.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June and the three-month study course ended.
Zhou Shixun's leg had almost recovered, and Sheng Anning accompanied him to remove the plaster. She chuckled all the way, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Shixun was as if she saw a lamb to be slaughtered.
Lu Yuanda personally removed the plaster, and after checking it, he kept praising it: "It has recovered really well, all thanks to An Ning. Come to my house for dinner tonight, and let your sister-in-law stew meat for you."
Sheng An Ning was embarrassed: "How can I be so embarrassed? We should thank you and treat you to a meal. We have troubled you and sister-in-law for the past three months."
Lu Yuanda waved his hand: "We are family, why be polite? Okay, I'll be there in a moment. I already told your sister-in-law yesterday."
Zhou Shixun was not polite: "Okay, I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
Lu Yuanda said cheerfully: "What's the trouble? Your leg is healed now, we can drink some."
When Sheng Anning and the others arrived at Lu Yuanda's house, Ruan Shuqin had already stewed pork ribs in the pot and rolled noodles.
He greeted Sheng An Ning warmly: "Finally, you have graduated, and Shi Xun's leg has healed. These are all happy events, and we should celebrate them properly."
Lu Yuanda took Zhou Shixun to the inner room to talk, and Sheng Anning stayed to help Ruan Shuqin cook.
Ruan Shuqin looked at Sheng Anning, who was wearing a white floral dress, with short hair just past her ears, and looked well-behaved, and couldn't help but praise her: "You city girls are so good-looking. Look at what you wear."
Sheng Anning was a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, you look good too."
Ruan Shuqin laughed: "What's so good about you, you're just a yellow-faced woman. This time you and Shi Xun should live a good life and try to have a big fat boy next year. By the way, if you want a son, put a pillow under your waist when you do that."
