"It's not good to skip dinner and just drink water. You're still growing! It's okay, I'll ask your grandfather for a few eggs first." Ding Xiaocui looked at Zhou Jiaxiang with a loving face.
Zhou Jiaxiang looked helpless.
Grandpa has fallen asleep by now. If his mother knocks on the door, he will definitely get angry.
Fortunately, when Ding Xiaocui was about to knock on the door, the door of the main room opened.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are back?" Chen Jinfeng listened for a while and didn't hear what she wanted to hear, so she had to come out and find out in person.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't slept yet?" Ding Xiaocui was surprised.
"How can Bingqiang and I sleep if you guys aren't back?" Chen Jinfeng said pretentiously.
"Heh~! Sister-in-law is worried about us, why don't you help go to the town to look for Jiaxiang? You haven't slept yet, are you waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?" Ding Xiaocui would not fall for Chen Jinfeng's tricks.
"Second sister-in-law, you are going too far. Third sister-in-law is not at home, and you ran away. If I am not at home, who will cook for the family? Who will feed the pigs and chickens?" Chen Jinfeng pulled a long face and said, "I left some food in the pot for you. If I had known you would not appreciate it, I would have left nothing."
"Sister-in-law, don't take Xiao Cui seriously. Xiao Cui has a sharp tongue but a soft heart." Zhou Bingxing hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Zhou Bingxing was very happy because there was ready-made rice in the pot and he could just heat it up and eat it.
You know, Zhou Bingxing was so hungry at this moment.
"Second brother, thank you for saying something fair. Maybe your sister-in-law ate too much chicken in town and doesn't want to eat the bland meals at home when she comes back. It's inevitable that she's unhappy." Chen Jinfeng said sarcastically.
"Bingxing and I were so busy looking for Jiaxiang that we didn't even have time to drink water for several hours. Where did we get the chicken to eat?" Ding Xiaocui felt that Chen Jinfeng's words were incomprehensible.
"Second brother's wife, don't lie to me. When Jiaxiang came home, he was gnawing on a chicken leg that big in his hand. Don't you know?" Chen Jinfeng exaggeratedly compared with her hands.
Zhou Jiaxiang felt guilty.
How come my aunt's eyes are so sharp? If I had known, I would have eaten the chicken leg before returning to the village.
"Where can we get chicken legs to eat in my hometown Jiaxiang? Sister-in-law, please don't talk nonsense." Ding Xiaocui denied repeatedly.
Zhou Jiaxiang turned around and tried to escape, but Zhou Bingxing grabbed him by the collar.
"Good boy, we are working hard outside, and you have chicken legs to eat, but you eat them alone?" Zhou Bingxing said angrily.
How could Zhou Bingxing not understand what kind of person his son is?
If what Chen Jinfeng said was false, Zhou Jiaxiang would have been as furious as Ding Xiaocui.
"Dad, I originally wanted to save it for when I came back to eat with you guys, but I was so hungry that I couldn't help it." Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Jiaxiang had to harden his heart and admit it.
"Jiaxiang, where did you get the chicken leg?" Ding Xiaocui asked.
"Yes...it was given to me by Brother Xiaobao." Zhou Jiaxiang didn't want to say anything about Cao Laoliu, so he had to use Liang Xiaobao to take the blame.
"Which brother Xiaobao? Why did he give you chicken legs to eat? Was he trying to trick you into doing something bad?" Zhou Bingxing guessed it right at once.
"No, no. Brother Xiaobao...his family is rich, and he bought a big chicken at the market. I...I saw Brother Xiaobao's wallet fall, so I helped him pick it up. Brother Xiaobao praised me for being smart, so he treated me to chicken legs." Zhou Jiaxiang racked his brains and finally came up with an excuse.
"Oh my, my son is so awesome. When he goes to town, he can even meet a nice guy who will give him chicken legs to eat." Before Zhou Bingxing could say anything, Ding Xiaocui started praising him.
Zhou Jiaxiang didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the more he spoke, the more flaws would be revealed.
Chen Jinfeng was too lazy to listen to Ding Xiaocui's bragging, so she turned around and went back to her room to sleep.
Chen Jinfeng didn't care where Zhou Jiaxiang got his chicken legs from. As long as they weren't bought with money given by her mother-in-law, Ding Ermei, it was fine.
A military hospital in the south.
It was late at night, and Zhou Bingxing was lying on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully.
Zhou Bingchen and his team returned an hour ago.
This time, relying on the "foresight" in his dream, Zhou Bingxing brought back all twelve team members.
Of course, the mission was completed perfectly.
Only two team members were injured, including Zhou Bingchen.
Zhou Bingchen was the most seriously injured, with a bullet piercing his left arm.
Originally, Zhou Bingchen would not have been injured, but at the critical moment, Zhou Bingchen pushed his comrade and changed his comrade's fate of being shot in the head.
After returning to the military region and completing his mission, Zhou Bingchen was sent to the hospital.
After the nurse re-bandaged Zhou Bingxing, he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Bingchen was dreaming again.
This time, Zhou Bingchen dreamed of Zhoujia Village.
Zhou Bingchen was standing at the entrance of Zhoujia Village with his luggage on his back.
The bus from the city to Qingshan County was delayed, and Zhou Bingchen missed the bus from the county seat to Taohua Town.
Originally, Zhou Bingchen wanted to rest in the county town for one night before going home.
When Zhou Bingchen went to look for a hotel, he happened to meet a truck passing through Taohua Town and heading to the neighboring county.
Zhou Bingchen was eager to go home, so he took a truck back.
After getting off the bus, I saw that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
People in the countryside go to bed early, and the village is quiet except for the occasional barking of a dog or two.
Zhou Bingchen started walking towards his home.
Thinking about his wife and children whom he was about to meet, Zhou Bingchen's heart was burning with excitement.
There was no moon tonight, and the sky was dark. Zhou Bingchen was wearing a military uniform, which blended him into the night very well.
Zhou Bingchen had received special training in the army, so even in such weather, his vision was not affected at all.
When Zhou Bingchen was more than ten meters away from home, the door opened gently and slowly.
Zhou Bingqiang came out cautiously.
Zhou Bingqiang looked too sneaky, and Zhou Bingchen's word "big brother" got stuck in his throat.
It’s so late, where are you going, brother?
Zhou Bingchen couldn't hold back his curiosity and followed Zhou Bingqiang quietly.
Zhou Bingqiang looked back as he walked, and after walking almost half of the village, he arrived at the door of Zhou Dali's house.
With Zhou Bingchen's skills, Zhou Bingqiang certainly wouldn't find him. When Zhou Bingqiang turned around, Zhou Bingchen had already hidden in a corner where Zhou Bingqiang couldn't see him.
Zhou Bingqiang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
As soon as I knocked, the door opened.
"Brother Bingqiang, why did you come just now? I was so anxious waiting for you." A woman complained in a delicate voice.
"Lily, didn't I tell you that we shouldn't meet recently? Why do you insist on me coming over tonight?" Zhou Bingqiang said in an unhappy tone.
"You say you don't want to see me and so you don't? Who do you think I am? A dog that can be summoned and dismissed at will?" The woman was a little angry.
"Lily, I never thought of it this way. Come on, let's go inside and talk." Zhou Bingqiang pushed the woman into the house.
Zhou Bingchen was stunned.
Zhou Bingchen recognized this woman as the "celebrity" in their Zhoujia Village in recent years - Zhou Dali's wife Liu Moli.
