Song Darong said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with it?"
Fang Jie: "He's great in every way. He's handsome, sensible, perceptive, hardworking, and likable."
Song Darong pouted.
"I don't think it's very good."
Fang Jie looked at him speechlessly.
"That's your comrade's child, how could you say that about him?"
Song Fanxing: "Yes, Dad, Zhou Zan is quite pitiful. He has no parents since he was little. Let's be nicer to him."
Song Darong: ...
He was now speechless and angrily got up and went back into the house.
That brat has his eye on his precious daughter, and he won't even accept the son of his comrade-in-arms; he doesn't like that.
That night, Zhou Zan slept in Song Yaohua's room.
Fang Jie had made up the bed for him in advance.
Zhou Zan slept comfortably and soundly, sleeping until the sun was high in the sky.
Fang Jie made breakfast, ate a quick bite, and then went to the pig farm.
When Zhou Zan got up, only Song Fanxing was watering the vegetables in the yard.
When Song Fanxing saw that he was awake, she dropped the water ladle and went into the house.
"Little Zan Zan, wash your face and eat. Mom made dumplings with zucchini and egg filling. They're warming up in the pot. I'll bring them to you."
"Thanks!"
"Don't thank me! Go wash your face."
When Zhou Zan came over after washing his face, Song Fanxing had already arranged the dumplings and prepared dipping sauce for him.
Zhou Zan ate a large plate of dumplings and then went to wash the dishes himself.
He came out and asked, "Where did Uncle Song and Aunt Fang go?"
Song Fanxing: "Dad went to work, and Mom is at the pig farm."
"Does Aunt Fang work at the pig farm?"
“That’s our family’s pig farm. Let me show you.”
After saying that, he grabbed Zhou Zan and left.
Halfway there, Zhou Zan squatted down and said, "Xingxing, let me carry you on my back."
Song Fanxing waved her hand, "No need! I can walk."
Zhou Zan stood up awkwardly.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the pig farm.
It was Zhou Zan's first time entering a pig farm. Although the smell was strong, it was very fresh.
He helped feed the pigs and cut sweet potato vines.
Song Fanxing thought Zhou Zan was a really good kid; he could adapt to any environment and was very hardworking.
She couldn't help but say, "Little Zan Zan, whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky."
In any era, boys like this are always in high demand.
"I already told you to call me Brother Zan, I'm older than you."
Song Fanxing laughed, "You're just a child to me."
Zhou Zan felt somewhat stifled.
“I’m older than you, I’m all grown up, it’s inappropriate for you to call me that.”
"Don't worry, once you get married, I won't call you that anymore."
She was afraid that Zhou Zan's future wife would be unhappy.
"I'm not getting married."
Zhou Zan said stiffly.
"You're just being childish. When you grow up a bit more and meet a girl you like, you'll be eager to marry her."
Zhou Zan didn't know how to answer; he felt he had already met the girl of his dreams.
The girl is still young, and he is also young, so it's not appropriate to say it now.
Zhou Zan simply remained silent.
It's not appropriate to say anything now; he'll act when the time is right.
Zhou Zan had been in the army for ten days when Zhou Xiong Guang called the army.
When he learned that Su Wanzhi was unwell.
Zhou Zan had no choice but to leave.
He held Song Fanxing's hand.
With reluctance, she said, "Star, I will come again."
Song Fanxing asked with concern, "Does your grandmother often get sick?"
"Yes, since my parents passed away, her health has deteriorated drastically. She often falls ill and takes a lot of medicine, but it doesn't help."
Song Fanxing immediately found two military water bottles, which were filled with spiritual spring water.
She stuffed the water bottle into Zhou Zan's bag.
"Take this water back for Grandma to drink; it has therapeutic effects. Let Grandpa drink some too; it will help him stay healthy."
Zhou Zan was deeply moved, and his eyes welled up with tears as he turned away.
After taking a few steps, he ran back and took out a jade bracelet from his pocket, putting it on Song Fanxing's wrist.
"This is a family heirloom of the Zhou family, and I'm giving it to you."
family heirloom?
That's too valuable!
Song Fanxing was terrified and wanted to take off the bracelet to return it, but found that Zhou Zan had already disappeared.
She wore Zhou Zan's family heirloom as if it were a hot potato.
I took it down and put it in my space.
Zhou Zan guarded the two water bottles more closely than anything else the whole way, holding them tightly in his arms, afraid of losing them.
When he got home, he put down his backpack and ran into Su Wanzhi's room.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Su Wanzhi lay weakly on the bed and managed to respond with a weak sound when she heard the voice.
Sunlight streamed in, illuminating Su Wanzhi's face, making the old lady appear even more frail, as if she were clinging to life.
Zhou Xiongguang sat on the edge of the bed, looking exhausted and sad.
"Xiao Zan, you're finally back! Your grandma might not make it..."
After Zhou Xiongguang finished speaking, he choked up with emotion.
Zhou Zan felt a pang of pain in his heart and hurriedly grabbed the water bottle and stepped forward.
"Grandma, Grandma, I'm back. Hang in there."
Su Wanzhi turned her head and forced a smile at him, wanting to say something, but her lips moved but she couldn't utter a single syllable.
Zhou Zan hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon.
I poured half a bowl of water into the bowl.
Feed Su Wanzhi with a small spoon.
Su Wanzhi's lips are chapped and she hasn't eaten anything or drunk any water for the past few days.
She felt she was dying and urged Zhou Xiong Guang to call her grandson back.
Before she passed away, she wanted to see her grandson, whom she was worried about.
Zhou Xiongguang said, "Xiao Zan, don't bother. Your grandma has difficulty even drinking water now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanzhi's lips moved as she desperately tried to swallow the water.
