After Zhou Yuanyuan left, Zhou Zhixin immediately realized that the peace locket his daughter had given him was not hanging around his neck. Zhou Zhixin was almost crazy! How could the peace locket disappear in just a short while? This was the first gift his daughter had given him! It was very memorable!
Zhou Zhixin wondered if he should take it off and ask Yunxiang to keep it for him when he left, or if he should carry it with him to the battlefield. Now, there was no need to worry about it.
How could Zhao Yunxiang hide Zhou Zhixin's bitter expression from her eyes? After asking the reason, the couple searched the house for a long time.
Seeing that the gathering time was approaching and there was still no sign of the peace locket, Zhou Zhixin had to put the matter aside for the time being. Before leaving, Zhou Zhixin specifically told Zhao Yunxiang a few words, asking her not to tell Zhou Yuanyuan that the peace locket was missing, for fear of hurting Zhou Yuanyuan's feelings.
Although the peace locket was missing, it was treasured in Zhou Zhixin's heart. He was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would know that he had lost her gift and would never give him anything again.
As a parent, receiving a gift from your own child, no matter how valuable it is, is an extremely wonderful feeling.
Zhao Yunxiang couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Zhixin's nervous expression. In other families, children were afraid of their parents, but in theirs, the parents were actually a little afraid of Yuanyuan getting angry. The unreliable parents had agreed that the missing peace locket was a secret between them and they would never tell their daughter.
Zhou Yuanyuan was in a good mood today. She had placed both jade talismans on the people she cared about. The feeling of being able to protect her loved ones made her feel a little proud. This was the most direct benefit she could bring to her family after practicing cultivation!
Zhou Yuanyuan went to Zhao Guohui's house in a good mood. She hadn't seen the lovely cousins for two weeks. To be honest, Zhou Yuanyuan missed them very much.
Zhao Guohui has four children: his eldest son is Zhao Lei, his second son is Zhao Ting, his third son is Zhao Yu, and his youngest daughter is Zhao Xia. The older twins are six years old this year, chubby and bear a strong resemblance to Zhao Guohui.
Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting are already in elementary school this year, attending Zhangmu Primary School, less than 300 meters from Zhao Guohui's home. Zhao Guohui's home is in Zhangmu Hutong, a two-story courtyard house. Most of the houses in this area are made up of courtyard houses. The environment is quiet and very suitable for living.
Yu Meiru and Zhao Guohui's careers have been booming over the past two years, keeping them busy every day. Yu Meiru hired two housekeepers: one responsible for cooking and cleaning, and the other dedicated to caring for the twins, a boy and a girl. The twins, just two years old, are at the peak of their mischievous nature. Little Zhao Yu, in particular, is full of energy, his short legs capable of swift running. In a blink of an eye, he'll be playing in the alley outside the house, making him a frequent target.
Because Zhao Yu was so naughty, Zhao Qingshan would help take care of the two children at home whenever he had time. Looking at the children's lovely appearance every day, Zhao Qingshan felt very happy.
When Zhou Yuanyuan got off the bus and arrived at the entrance of Zhangmu Hutong, she saw a large crowd of people in the alley. There were also several police cars parked at the entrance.
Is there something wrong with someone's house? Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but take a second look as she passed the police car. Zhangshu Hutong was an old, narrow alley. Although a car could drive through, there was no place to turn around once inside.
The further Zhou Yuanyuan walked, the more puzzled she felt. The center of the crowded alley was clearly Zhao Guohui's home. Had something happened at her grandfather's house? The thought of this possibility quickened her pace. If there weren't so many people around, she would have rushed straight to Zhao Guohui's door.
"Wuwuwu...Xiaoyu, wuwuwu...my Xiaoyu..." Zhou Yuanyuan just walked to the door when she heard Yu Meiru's crying. Yu Meiru's voice was not loud, but it contained the pain and heartache of a mother, making those who heard it feel as if a stone was pressing on their hearts, heavy.
Something happened to Zhao Yu? Zhou Yuanyuan was so anxious that she didn't care about hiding her strength. She pushed aside the two big men blocking the door with both hands and rushed in.
In the yard, Yu Meiru's eyes were swollen from crying like two big peaches. Zhao Guohui was supporting Yu Meiru, who was about to collapse on the ground. Two people in police uniforms were talking to Zhao Qingshan. In the corridor, nanny Liu Jie was holding little Zhao Xia who rushed towards Yu Meiru in her arms, looking a little flustered.
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced around and didn't see Zhao Yu, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she was too late and something had happened to Zhao Yu.
Zhou Yuanyuan has always liked her little cousin Zhao Yu. Not only is he smart, but his appearance also combines the advantages of Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru. From a young age, it can be seen that he has the potential to become a handsome man when he grows up.
Zhao Xia, who was born two minutes later than Zhao Yu, looked more like Yu Meiru and was also a beautiful girl. At this time, Zhao Xia saw Yu Meiru crying, and she also looked anxious. She twisted and turned in Sister Liu's arms, trying to slide off Sister Liu and onto the ground.
Although Zhao Xia was only two years old, she was chubby and quite strong. Sister Liu didn't dare let Zhao Xia run over and disturb the masters, so she had to hold Liu Xia tightly, which caused her to resist even more.
Seeing that Zhao Qingshan was talking to the police, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to go over and disturb them, so she went straight to Sister Liu in the corridor.
When Sister Liu saw Zhou Yuanyuan, her lips moved a few times, and she wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Sister Liu and then looked away. However, out of the corner of her eye, she could still see tiny beads of sweat on Sister Liu's forehead.
Zhao Xia stopped twisting in Sister Liu's arms when she saw Zhou Yuanyuan. She stretched her two chubby little hands high toward Zhou Yuanyuan, shouting, "Sister, hold me. Sister, hold Xia."
Zhao Xia's speech was quite eloquent, but her words often came out incoherently, often spouting off a few words at a time. When she saw her cousin Zhou Yuanyuan, whom she had always liked, Zhao Xia wouldn't call her cousin, but just "jie". When she saw Zhao Qingshan, she wouldn't call him grandpa, but just "yeah". Zhou Yuanyuan and the others would sometimes tease Zhao Xia, demanding she call all the names before giving her something to eat, often making her stamp her feet in frustration.
Despite this, Zhao Xia still cannot call everyone "cousin", "grandfather", "dad", "brother" and so on since she was one year and two months old. She only gives special treatment to Meiru and calls her "mom".
