A young woman, wearing a black cashmere coat and straight black pants, a bright red scarf covering half her face. Her long hair was lazily tied up, with a few strands playfully flying in the wind, occasionally covering half of her jade-like face. She wanted passersby to hold her hair up for her.
Yi Zhe was squeezed onto the bus after finishing his work when he saw this beautiful woman. He subconsciously got off the bus, afraid of waking Zhou Jiao, and followed her from a distance.
Small snowflakes were falling from the sky and scattered by the wind. One of them landed on Yizhe's eyelashes. He put one hand in his pocket and gently brushed it away with his right hand.
Looking up at the sky and then at the figure walking leisurely in front of him, Yizhe suddenly found that Zhou Jiao was carrying an extra-large black cloth bag across her body. The most joyous thing was that the bag was embroidered with a majestic tiger and a delicate little white rabbit facing each other.
Seeing this, Yizhe covered his lips with his fist to hide his smile. This girl's mind is really unique! Shouldn't girls embroider some flowers and plants?
But strangely, he felt that this was Zhou Jiao's true intention. The Zhou Jiao who could calm thousands of people with a single word was also the Zhou Jiao who could grow up in adversity and remain calm.
This mysterious girl is nothing more than a delicate little white rabbit. Even when facing a ferocious tiger, she always maintains her pride.
As Zhou Jiao walked two blocks, Yi Zhe saw that she had lined up safely. He leaned against the corner, took out a cigarette, lit it, and through the smoke rings, he just quietly stared at Zhou Jiao in the distance.
After an unknown amount of time, the figure he saw had already entered the mall. After finishing his last cigarette, Yi Zhe sighed with regret.
With his hands in his pockets, he looked up at the sky ahead. Yi Zhe couldn't explain why he couldn't bear to leave. He secretly comforted himself that he was worried about a beautiful young woman walking alone on the street. Finally, he secretly reminded himself that his character must be worthy of the military uniform he wore.
When Zhou Jiao came out of the mall dejectedly, her lonely figure made Yi Zhe couldn't help but take a step forward. Then he immediately felt something was wrong and stood still.
After a while, Yizhe looked at her back deeply, and followed her from a distance again. Seeing that they were heading home, he couldn't explain his feelings. He felt relieved, but also a little disappointed.
It’s too late…
The fate of the two was that before his father reached out to the helpless Zhou Jiao, his young wife had already flown away.
Even though he woke up from his dream many times in the middle of the night and felt so unwilling, Yizhe knew better than anyone that a girl like him would not tolerate betrayal. If Zhang Guoqing went to her, it might not be him who would stay by her side.
Watched Zhou Jiao enter the compound and watched her leave.
Yi Zhe looked up and saw the red star right in front of the gate. He paused, straightened his military uniform, calmed himself down, and resolutely stepped through the gate.
In the living room of the Yi family's courtyard, a middle-aged woman with her daughter was sitting there, chatting with Old Lady Yi about family matters. If you pay close attention, you'll clearly notice that the middle-aged woman kept looking towards the door during the conversation.
Old Mrs. Yi knew very well that the other party brought his daughter to visit her today under the pretext of having taken a fancy to her eldest grandson.
The old lady was both happy and sad. Her eldest grandson was undoubtedly a brilliant child, and she wasn't surprised someone would take a liking to him. But if he wasn't obedient, what could she do? She wanted to hold that soft, sweet, baby-sounding little darling in her arms, too.
As Yizhe entered the yard, he heard exaggerated laughter coming from inside, and his brows subconsciously frowned. He turned and walked towards the east wing. After hesitating for a moment, he turned back to the living room.
"Xiaozhe, come to grandma quickly. Is everything done? The weather in the north is so cold, aren't you used to it?"
Before Yi Zhe could reply, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Aunt Yi, this is Xiaozhe. You are so lucky. This child is so good. It's true that a tiger father will have a dog son."
Old Mrs. Yi smiled and introduced her grandson: "This is your Aunt Wang, and that is her daughter."
"Xiaozhe must not remember me. I held you in my arms when you were little. This child was a chubby kid with a promising future. I was right."
Yizhe looked at her with amusement and nodded. What the hell, he'd held her in his arms as a child, and he was really good at making things up. Yizhe was the name his father had given him as an adult.
"Brother Xiaozhe, I'm Wang Hui..."
Seeing the girl in front of him blushing and shy, Yizhe held back his anger and nodded to the mother and daughter. He immediately said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'm going to the study to take care of some things. Don't call me for dinner."
Old Lady Yi knew this would happen when she saw her grandson leave before he finished speaking. However, she was not angry this time, because she herself did not like the idea of this girl becoming the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yi family.
"Hurry up and sit down. This kid is so busy that he can't even take care of his meal."
Yi Zhe returned to the study and found his grandfather alone in the study, enjoying himself.
He poured tea for the two of them without saying a word.
"Funiu, you're already grown up, it's time for you to get married. Do you have any girls you like? You need to tell grandpa quickly, or your grandma will really mess around with you."
Yi Zhe looked at him expressionlessly.
"Okay, okay, there's no one here, Xiaozhe is ok, right? Your great-grandmother went to the temple to ask for this nickname for you. What a festive nickname."
Yizhe was too lazy to complain. He was a man, and he would have discarded any girl he liked long ago.
Yi Lao rolled his eyes at him in boredom.
"Do you have something to hide? Grandson, if you have a partner, don't worry that we won't be interested in her family background. Just a good girl will do."
Yi Zhe smiled and shook his head. "What is a good girl? What are the standards? I'm not in a hurry to get married."
Yi Lao was anxious after hearing this. He was so old and still hadn't gotten married. Where would he get a chubby baby? "Have you become stupid after being a soldier? You don't even know how to look for a good girl?"
"You know? Then you point out a girl, and I'll find someone according to that template."
Seeing his grandson sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea leisurely, Old Yi was so angry that he glared at him, "How could I not know? I didn't find your grandmother myself. There are so many girls in the compound, which one is more qualified? I really can't find the standard. Why don't you find one like the girl from the Zhou family..."
Yi Zhe's heart trembled, and the teacup lid in his hand fell to the ground. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are the old man, so what should I call my dad?"
Yi Lao's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "There are so many good girls in the world. Can I ask your grandmother to arrange a date for you before the New Year?"
A beautiful figure flashed through Yizhe's mind. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. After a moment, he looked up and smiled, "Okay. Let grandma choose first and then I'll go meet the person."
Old Yi sighed secretly, smiled and nodded at his grandson, "You are the eldest grandson of the Yi family. Your grandmother will definitely choose a beautiful girl who is worthy of you. The Yi family can take it or let it go. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."
Yi Zhe clenched his fists even tighter, and with a calm expression, he changed the subject. "Why does my dad think so highly of Fang Fei? I've been investigating some things these days, and I've discovered that the Fang family is quite chaotic."
Yi Lao smiled and shook his head, glancing at him meaningfully, "Your father doesn't allow children in the family to find a suitable match, he has to choose one that is worse than ours. He wishes you all would find orphans. The son-in-law he is most optimistic about is from another place, he is 23 years old this year, and he is an orphan of a martyr."
Yi Zhe nodded when he heard this. He more or less understood what the old man meant.
"Your grandmother was reluctant to let Xiao Min marry too far away, so I was the one who got Fang Fei for Xiao Min. After all, the only son-in-law in the compound that your father would like is the boy from the Fang family, and your sister also wants to marry him."
Yi Zhe didn't know what to say. What a blessing it was to be able to spend a lifetime with the one you loved. He was powerless, so now that his sister had gotten what she wanted, he was lucky.
