A month has passed since Zhou Xiaozheng said "soon" that day, and the first snow of the year has also arrived. The surface of the lake is frozen into blocks, and there is no sign of the turbulent water underneath.
Perhaps the movement in the city has never stopped, or perhaps Lady Liang is at the peak of her life and is busy waving flags and cheering.
In short, the mysterious situation made many people eager to move, and a large number of people began to compete for teams and were eager to share the results of the battle.
All this has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Zhou Xiaozheng still attends various meetings calmly as usual; Miao Lishan performs her model operas as usual; Zhou Jiao still observes her surroundings quietly, living her leisurely life as if she were retired.
As for Zhang Guoqing, apart from being as busy as usual in the logistics department and assisting in the mobilization of supplies, as the weather got colder, he also began to stay at home.
——Accompanying my wife and son.
"Xiaowu, get out here quickly."
Zhou Jiao couldn't help but chuckle at Yi Jiefang's shouts outside the door. What a pair of good friends! They were inseparable at work, and now he was at her house. Was he her love rival?
"What's that ghost howling about?" Zhang Guoqing responded loudly without saying a word.
These two brothers were amazing, and Aunt Chen was so happy that she quickly responded from the yard, "Come in quickly, are you freezing?"
"Auntie is still the best." Yi Jiefang saluted her sweetly, "I'm not cold, but I'm hungry. Auntie, give me some of the good food at home."
Aunt Chen nodded happily.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you coming to my house to eat and drink for free again?" He said that, but if he ignored the cup of hot tea he handed over, he would definitely cut off all ties with him.
Yi Jiefang took off his coat, took a sip of the tea, put it on the coffee table, and exhaled, "It's finally warmer. I almost froze and couldn't go back home."
"Why are you wandering around on the weekend instead of taking a break?"
"I'm going to ask Dazhi to do something." Yi Jiefang said, looking at Zhou Jiao, "Sister, I have something to do today. Do you want to go to the city with me?"
Zhang Guoqing kicked him, and after he dodged, he pointed his finger and said, "Break up!"
"Where's Uncle Zhou?"
"My dad is working overtime."
Yi Jiefang laughed heartily and threw his arms around his neck. The two brothers were in such a commotion that Zhou Jiao couldn't help but shake her head. These two were as good as her family's Six One Five One!
After the commotion, the two "big boys" finally took their seats.
"Guess what I was looking at?"
Zhou Jiao looked at him and shook her head.
Zhang Guoqing glanced at him with disdain. "You're keeping me in suspense again. You can say it or not."
"Really not guessing?"
“Not interested!”
"Really? I passed by the Liang family on my way back, that Liang family..." Yi Jiefang stopped talking halfway and picked up the teacup again.
Here it comes...
Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing looked at each other and continued playing chess calmly.
"Hey, I think you two should just give up."
Zhang Guoqing blinked, "What's wrong?" He paused for a moment, "Oh, you want to play chess? Come on, come on, just play a couple of games with me."
Yi Jiefang snorted in disdain. "Are those the only two tricks you have? Your wife has suppressed you and you've lost your confidence, so you're looking for a sense of accomplishment from me? No way! I won't play with you!"
"You're not as good as me. You can't afford to lose!"
"Can we still have fun?"
Zhang Guoqing laughed happily and kicked his leg. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. The Liang family, the Liang family of Liang Jiajun?"
"Hmm, why would the other Liang family mention him?" Yi Jiefang winked. "Do you want to go and see?"
Zhang Guoqing shook his head in amusement. "You're such a fool! Tell me what's going on first. If we show up unexpectedly, won't people accuse us of gloating and taking advantage of others' misfortune?"
"Don't you want to?"
Zhang Guoqing touched his chin and said, "A little bit."
After saying this, the two brothers looked at each other in tacit understanding and burst into laughter. They hang out together all day, who doesn't understand who?
"Dazhi and I were just sitting there drinking when a commotion broke out outside. When we heard something was wrong with the Liang family, we couldn't sit still."
"When I came out, I saw what a mess! Over two hundred Red Guards were banging on the Liang family's front door. There were dozens more guarding the back door."
Zhang Guoqing didn't expect such a big commotion.
"Later, I guess the Liang family realized they couldn't hold out. As soon as they opened a gap, they all squeezed in. Oh my god, there was almost a stampede and someone almost died."
"Xiao Wu, I saw that among the ten or so people leading the group there seemed to be some from our school." Yi Jiefang said, shaking his head, "Tsk tsk... they are so impressive! Now that we're gone, these guys are really awesome."
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at him, "What? What do you think? If you go back now, people will treat you like an ancestor!"
"Come on, I'm old now, so I'd better let them young people have fun on their own." Yi Jiefang smiled without any modesty.
"My friend, where's your face?"
"I'm here, looking very handsome." Yi Jiefang waved his hand, "Don't interrupt! Let's get down to business first."
What a funny couple! Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and laughed.
"I had the same idea as you. When I saw those people, I quickly pulled Dazhi away. Luckily, it was winter and I was wearing that old military coat, so they didn't notice me."
Zhang Guoqing followed his finger, glanced at the military coat that had just been hung on the triangular wooden hanger in the living room, and nodded in understanding. This guy loved to show off, it was rare for him not to wear a new military coat when he went to the city.
"Dazhi and I were just outside, we didn't go in, but we heard crying and shouting inside. Don't you think it's strange? Liang Shengnan, the pillar of their family, hasn't shown up for over two hours. And that old beauty hasn't even shown a ghost. Dazhi also said that just a few days ago, he heard someone go to the Red Guards headquarters to express their condolences on their hard work. Don't you think that's strange?"
Weird? Not weird! He can barely save himself.
"I heard they had just searched the front yard and found a truckload of stolen goods. They were still searching the two back yards. We were so cold standing there that we had no choice but to leave."
"The Liang family is finished this time. The furniture, wood, books, and waste paper are piled up in the yard. I saw the fire burning brightly from outside. Before I came back, someone was still chopping with an axe."
Yi Jiefang said this and smiled at Zhou Jiao, "Sister, do you want to go take a look? I guess it won't be over yet. It's in the fifth courtyard."
Zhou Jiao shook her head decisively, "After the previous festival, I won't go."
"I thought of that, too. Otherwise, I would have called you right then. But if you really want to go and see it, there's a way. Wear more clothes and cover your face. There are so many people around, no one will notice."
Zhang Guoqing frowned and analyzed suspiciously: "It's the weekend today, and logically all his sons should be here. After all these years, he doesn't have any backup plan?"
"Tsk," Yi Jiefang chuckled. "There's always someone stronger than the strongest. Judging from the situation today, someone has planned this long ago? Otherwise, why would all the city leaders gather at the Liang family?"
