Zhou Zhixin was indeed exhausted.
The day before yesterday, anxious to get home, Zhou Zhixin lay on top of a truck for over thirty hours without sleeping. After returning home, Zhou Zhixin spent the entire morning busy with Wu Jinfeng's affairs, and has now gone over forty hours without rest.
No matter how good Zhou Zhixin's physical condition was, after eating and drinking enough, he relaxed his mind and felt so tired that he wanted to close his eyes and have a good sleep.
Zhao Guohui was sharp-eyed and noticed the little movements of Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Yuanyuan. He smiled with his lips pursed. He knew that his nephew and niece must be up to something, and as an uncle he had no choice but to help.
"Sister, the child is bloated. It's better for him to stay in town a little longer to see if it's a problem. What if Jiasheng still doesn't feel well after returning to Zhaojiagou? We have to run back to the town hospital again, right? You can stay here with me for one night!" Zhao Guohui tried to persuade Zhao Yunxiang to stay.
"This..." Zhao Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, looked at her son who was holding his stomach and groaning, and then looked at Zhou Zhixin who was dozing off in the chair.
Zhao Yunxiang also felt bad for her husband. If Wu Jinfeng hadn't gone so far, Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't have had to go back to her parents' home today. Zhou Zhixin looked extremely tired. I really don't know what he was doing when he was at the Zhou family? Instead of resting properly, he went to chat with his father.
Zhao Yunxiang was furious, even blaming Zhou Chunping. Zhou Chunping usually appeared sensible and considerate, but what he did today was completely out of character. She knew her son was exhausted, so why couldn't she wait until Zhixin had rested?
As Zhao Yunxiang packed her bags to return to her parents' home, she hesitated. Zhixin was so exhausted, and it didn't seem right for her to just leave with Yuanyuan. However, Wu Jinfeng had already stepped on her nerves. If she didn't say anything today, the days ahead would surely be even harder. For the sake of a stable future, Zhao Yunxiang could only harden her heart and pretend she didn't see Zhou Zhixin's fatigue.
Zhao Yunxiang stared at Zhou Zhixin, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal lingering affection, which almost hurt Zhao Guohui's eyes.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Zhou family's bunch of extremely good relatives, Zhao Guohui would have been quite satisfied with Zhou Zhixin as his brother-in-law. He was tall, handsome, ambitious, and considerate to his sister.
Seeing that Zhao Yunxiang was somewhat interested, Zhao Guohui continued to persuade her, "Sister, you haven't given me a specific implementation plan for the fish balls. I still have some things to discuss with you. My brother-in-law is tired, let him go to the next door to sleep for a while! Anyway, our home is there and we can go back anytime. It's not too late for you to leave when my brother-in-law feels better."
Although Zhao Guohui's house was not big, with three bedrooms and a kitchen, it was more than enough for Zhao Yunxiang's family of four to stay for a few days.
Zhao Yunxiang felt Zhao Guohui's words made sense and nodded involuntarily. It was a good sixty or seventy miles from Sanhe Town to Zhaojiagou. Given Zhou Zhixin's current state, Zhao Yunxiang was worried he might have cycled his bike into the ditch. It would be better for him to rest at his brother's house for a day and then go to see his father tomorrow in high spirits without worrying him.
Xu Liqin cleaned up the kitchen and rushed back to the supply and marketing cooperative to work. Seeing that Zhao Yunxiang agreed to stay, Zhao Guohui immediately took Zhou Zhixin to the guest room.
Zhou Zhixin opened his eyes after being moved by Zhao Guohui. Zhao Guohui said, "Brother-in-law, my sister said she would stay at my house for one night and return to Zhaojiagou tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zhixin nodded, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep again. Before falling asleep, Zhou Zhixin felt a little happy in his heart, because he knew that Yunxiang was worried about him!
After Zhao Guohui made arrangements for Zhou Zhixin, he returned to the next room and discussed in detail with Zhao Yunxiang what had happened during this period.
Seeing that the adults were busy, Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng found this perfectly suited to their needs. After saying hello to Zhao Guohui and Zhao Yunxiang, the siblings went for a stroll.
As soon as he left the house, Zhou Jiasheng lowered his hand from his belly. He felt a little embarrassed, as if his uncle had seen through his little trick. And his mother, despite her initial anxiety, why did she just ignore him later?
It seems that grandpa was right. Even heroes can't resist beautiful women, and the same goes for beautiful women! Look at his mother. As soon as she saw Dad, she forgot about them and his sister.
Zhou Jiasheng had wronged his mother this time. Zhao Yunxiang had forgotten Zhou Jiasheng's slight discomfort until Zhao Guohui pulled her aside to talk about their future plans.
Zhao Yunxiang had a preliminary plan for the days ahead. She was unwilling to stay at the Zhou family. After Wu Jinfeng reported her for "speculation and profiteering," Zhao Yunxiang's already cold heart towards the Zhou family was further thwarted.
Last night, Zhou Miaomiao went to Zhao Yunxiang's house and said something incomprehensible. Zhao Yunxiang didn't understand what she meant at the time. But after Wu Jinfeng's outburst that morning, Zhao Yunxiang finally understood. Wu Jinfeng wasn't the only one in the Zhou family who wished her bad luck. Even if Gu Dahua from the second wife hadn't been involved in this incident, she was at least aware of it.
Zhao Yunxiang believed she treated her two sisters-in-law and their children well. Whenever Zhou Zhixin sent something home, Zhao Yunxiang would pack a portion for the children from the first and second wives. Even the food Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui sent from time to time, Zhao Yunxiang made sure to give the children from the first and second wives a bite.
But...Gu Dahua clearly knew about Wu Jinfeng's actions, but she didn't even warn her? After being sisters-in-law for several years, she was unwilling to do such a small favor. How stupid must Zhao Yunxiang be to think that they were family!
Whether she goes to join the army or returns to Zhaojiagou, Zhou's Zhao Yunxiang doesn't want to stay there anymore.
As for joining the army or returning to Zhaojiagou, the decision depended on Zhou Zhixin's attitude. If Zhou Zhixin still prioritized Zhou Chunping and his wife and didn't want Zhao Yunxiang to join the army, then Zhao Yunxiang would prefer to leave Zhou Zhixin and return to Zhaojiagou with her two children. Regardless of which option she chose, Zhao Guohui would need to contribute. It was the uncle's job to assert his authority in these situations.
When Zhou Jiasheng came to his senses, he found himself and his sister standing at a crossroads hand in hand.
Today is not the market day, so there are not many people in Sanhe Town, and there are only a few locals wandering around the streets.
"Sister, which way are we going?" Zhou Jiasheng looked at the two streets to his left and right, feeling somewhat bewildered. Zhou Jiasheng had lived in the town for a few months, and the only roads he crossed every day were from Zhao Guohui's home to the kindergarten, or from the kindergarten back to Zhao Guohui's home. Although Sanhe Town was small, it had two bustling streets that formed a cross.
"Let's go to the police station." Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand and walked south with Zhou Jiasheng. The Sanhe Town police station was on South Street. In her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan had gone to the police station more than once to seek justice for Zhou Zhixin's sudden and unprovoked death.
"Oh." Zhou Jiasheng responded, not caring whether his sister knew the correct location of the police station, and just followed his sister happily.
