"Who do you want to contact?" Cao Jing came in from the door and asked curiously. She only heard Ru Mei's last sentence and didn't hear the previous ones.

Ru Mei then told Cao Jing the story again from the beginning.

After listening to her, Cao Jing immediately gave some advice, "If you like her, take the initiative. Otherwise, if someone else snatches her away, you will regret it too late. But you can't let the guy think that you are the one taking the initiative."

Rumei's mind was full of questions, "What should I do?"

Cao Jing thought for a moment and said, "Didn't he save your leg again? Now that you have recovered, you should thank him, right? Well... just go to his house to thank him."

"Bring more gifts when you go, and be serious. Don't be shy, or he will see that you have ulterior motives."

"When you leave, please leave some of your personal belongings behind. It can't be something too cheap like a hairband. It should be something a little more expensive, such as the box of vanishing cream you always carry in your pocket."

"If he finds it later, he will send it to you, and then you can treat him to a meal in the name of thanking him. After this, won't your contacts naturally increase?"

Rumei thought for a long time, then suddenly realized: "You mean, every time we meet, I leave a hook to pave the way for the next meeting!"

Cao Jing smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are quite insightful. The most important thing is to keep meeting him. After a long time, if he is interested in you, he will definitely take action."

Rumei clapped her hands and smiled, "This is a good idea."

Qin Hanshu was thoughtful. Isn't Rumei always meeting Huo Zhenduo? Sometimes it might be a coincidence, but... is it a coincidence every time?

Qin Hanshu looked at Cao Jing again.

Cao Jing looks quiet and gentle, but unexpectedly she is quite capable.

She suddenly remembered that Qin Feiyang had said in a letter that when he first met Cao Jing, he actually had no intention of developing a further relationship because Cao Jing looked too weak and delicate, and was probably not suitable to be a soldier's wife.

It was only after we got to know each other more that I gradually fell in love with Cao Jing.

Since I have no thoughts about you after the first meeting, why would there be a next meeting?

Could it be that Cao Jing used the same method she taught Ru Mei to win over Qin Feiyang?

Unexpectedly, Cao Jing also looked at Qin Hanshu, and their eyes met.

Cao Jing seemed to have guessed what Qin Hanshu was thinking, and smiled and winked at her.

It seems to be true.

Qin Hanshu also burst out laughing.

Qin Feiyang has always claimed that he spent a lot of effort to make Cao Jing his partner.

Until now, he still feels this way.

Rumei talked about relationship issues with Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing for a long time, teased Zhou Chi, and then said goodbye and left.

She was going to walk to the town to catch a bus, and halfway there she couldn't help but look in the direction of the black market.

She had met Huo Zhenduo in the black market, and she didn't know if it would happen again.

But then she remembered that the black market was not open every day.

Ru Mei was just laughing at her own outrageous idea when she heard Huo Zhenduo's voice calling her the next second.

She thought it was an auditory hallucination until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was Huo Zhenduo.

Rumei opened her mouth in surprise.

"W-why...why are you here?"

Huo Zhenduo was riding a tricycle with two old cabinets on it.

Huo Zhenduo didn't answer, but only asked her, "Take a bus back to the city?"

Rumei nodded.

Huo Zhenduo tilted his chin towards the back of the car and said, "Get on board. I'll give you a ride."

Ru Mei was delighted and showed it on her face, but she suddenly remembered what Cao Jing had told her: no matter what, she should look generous and not let the other person see what she was thinking.

She quickly tensed her expression and asked politely, "Is it too much trouble?"

Huo Zhenduo took in all the changes in the little girl's expression and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No trouble, come on up."

"Okay!" Ru Mei hurriedly got into the car, as if Huo Zhenduo would be gone if she was a second slower.

Huo Zhenduo pushed the pedal and the tricycle moved slowly forward.

When Rumei came, he saw her as she got out of the car.

After waiting for four hours, she finally came out of the military family compound.

The fate in this world is three parts determined by heaven and seven parts by man.

It always takes people with ulterior motives to work hard, so that the destiny destined by heaven can bloom into beautiful flowers.

***

A telegram came from her hometown in the northwest saying that Zhou Ruilan had an accident and was hospitalized.

The telegram did not say what the matter was or whether Zhou Ruilan was feeling well.

Just let Zhao Chunmiao go back quickly.

When Zhao Chunmiao learned that Qin Hanshu's maternity leave was over and she was about to go back to work, she planned to stay here for a long time.

There is no way, there is no one to take care of my grandson. He is only a month old, how can I leave him alone?

She has made plans to raise her grandson here until he is one year old and can go to nursery, and then go back.

As for Zhou Ruilan's confinement, if nothing works out she can only ask her husband's family to take care of her.

But after receiving this telegram, Zhao Chunmiao could no longer sit still.

She was so anxious that she couldn't sit still. "What happened? Lanhua was fine when I left. Why is she in the hospital? It's still a long time before she gives birth."

Qin Hanshu guessed that Zhou Ruilan had always been in good health, so there must be something wrong with her stomach.

I just don't know if it's due to my own problems or external factors.

Qin Hanshu comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. Wei Guang has already booked a train ticket for you tomorrow morning. You can go back tomorrow."

Zhao Chunmiao frowned deeply, "What about my grandson? You two have to work, how do you take care of such a young child?"

Qin Hanshu told him about the agreement he had made with Liu Ercui.

"You also know that Sister Ercui is a very kind person. You can rest assured to leave Ah Chi to her."

Zhou Weiguang also said: "I'm close by, and I can get back in time if anything happens."

Zhao Chunmiao was really worried about her daughter's situation, and there was no other way but to give up her grandson.

"As for Er Cui, you can't let her suffer. I know she has good intentions and doesn't seek any benefits, but you still have to compensate her for what she owes."

Qin Hanshu nodded and said, "We know this."

Zhao Chunmiao sighed and nodded. He didn't sleep well the whole night.

Because Zhao Chunmiao left in time, Qin Hanshu didn't have time to prepare anything.

He only packed up some of the things at home that were easy to carry and store and asked Zhao Chunmiao to take them back.

The next morning, Zhou Weiguang sent Zhao Chunmiao to the train station.
