Old Madam Tao immediately smiled and glanced at her grandson Tao Jincheng.
After Tao Jincheng received his grandmother's gaze, he immediately took out a bulging envelope from his pocket.
"Little cute girl, this is the reward for your help yesterday. It's just a small token of my appreciation, so please don't despise it."
Zhang Meng smiled and took the envelope without hesitation. She felt the money inside and found that there were probably over a thousand yuan.
Zhang Meng was surprised. She didn't expect the Tao family to be so generous.
The Tao family's grandparents finally had a meal at Zhang's house before leaving. When Mrs. Tao left, she held Grandma Zhang's hand reluctantly and said, "Sister, we must meet often, okay?"
In that special era, in order to avoid suspicion, the two older sisters discussed and decided to call each other sisters.
Grandma Zhang smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll let Xiao Meng take me to see you someday when I have time."
Only then did Mrs. Tao get into the car and leave the Zhang family with satisfaction.
There was an extra sum of money at home, and Zhang Meng didn't keep it for herself, but gave it directly to Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang knew that her granddaughter had a large sum of money in her hands. When she saw her granddaughter giving her the money, she did not refuse and accepted it happily.
Just two days after the Tao family's matter was over, Gu Mingtai suddenly said in his sleep that he was going to S City.
Zhang Meng, who was already lying down, jumped up from the bed in surprise when she heard the news. "What's going on? Why are you going there?"
The temperature at night was already very cold. Seeing that she had gotten up wearing only a thin nightgown, Gu Mingtai quickly wrapped her in a blanket and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly."
Zhang Meng looked at him and urged, "Hurry up and tell me why."
Although she had never been to City S, she knew that it was a mountainous area with an underdeveloped economy.
"I'm going to tell you something. Don't be angry after you listen to it." Gu Mingtai stared at her and spoke cautiously.
Zhang Meng frowned, she had a bad feeling now.
After taking several deep breaths, Zhang Meng felt that his heart was strong enough, and then he said, "What is it? Tell me!"
Seeing that she was constantly exhaling, Gu Mingtai held her hand and said, "It seems that the higher-ups want me to lead a battalion over there. I'm actually going there just to see what the situation is like. If the conditions are too harsh, let me go alone, and you and grandma can continue to live here."
Zhang Meng was completely stunned, staring at the man in front of her stupidly.
When she first met him, he helped her catch ghosts, and later when they were together, they also defeated those ghosts together. These experiences almost made her forget that the man in front of her was not a ghost catcher, but had another identity, a soldier.
"Do you really have to go? Didn't you quit your job at the x-organization?"
Gu Mingtai held her hand tightly. "Xiao Meng, I am a soldier. I will go wherever the organization sends me. I must obey the organization's orders. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I'll go with you then. After all, a man follows his wife wherever she goes. I'll go wherever you go." Zhang Meng leaned on his chest and hugged his waist tightly.
Gu Mingtai smiled and hugged her back tightly, "Okay."
The next day, Zhang Meng discussed this matter with Grandma Zhang, hoping that Grandma Zhang could take Xiao Tao and the others with her.
"Okay, let's go together." As soon as Zhang Meng said a few words, Grandma Zhang immediately agreed.
The speed was so fast that she was completely stunned. She was ready to say a lot but it was useless.
Grandma Zhang looked at her happy granddaughter with a smile, thinking to herself that she had to follow the young couple and take good care of her granddaughter's body so that her great-grandson could arrive soon.
On the third day, Gu Mingtai set out for City S to check on the situation. Once he was ready, he would send a telegram, and Zhang Meng would bring Grandma Zhang and the others over to reunite with him.
On the first night that Gu Mingtai left, Zhang Meng felt a little uncomfortable sleeping alone in the big bed.
Her mind was filled with Gu Mingtai's image. Finally, seeing that it was already the middle of the night, she had no choice but to go to the closet and find a piece of clothing he had worn and hug it, and only then did she manage to get a good night's sleep.
