After Zhou Ce started school, Zhu Jingsu prepared to go back.

Qin Hanshu wanted to keep her for a few more days, so she said, "Your second brother must not be used to being alone at home, so I'd better go back early."

Zhu Jingsu and Zhou Weili have a good relationship. After so many years of marriage, this is the first time they have been apart for so many days.

Qin Hanshu joked: "Okay, then I won't hinder your reunion."

Zhu Jingsu pushed her coquettishly.

Qin Hanshu asked, "Second brother got promoted the year before last, right? After becoming the head of a county, have you been very busy?"

Zhu Jingsu nodded and said, "He is busy, but he still cares about his family. Whenever he is free, he will go home to accompany me."

Qin Hanshu was about to continue teasing when Zhu Jingsu suddenly remembered something.

"Do you have a relative named Hu Wenwen? Did you know that she is missing?"

Qin Hanshu said calmly: "Yes, Hu Wenwen is the daughter of my stepfather and his ex-wife. She is an educated youth on the farm. What does it mean to be missing?"

"She ran away from the farm a few years ago!" Zhu Jingsu said slowly.

After Hu Wenwen ran away, Chen Tieshu searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. Thinking that Hu Wenwen had also taken his son away, he reported to the police.

As a result, the fact that Hu Wenwen escaped from the farm a few years ago and was somehow brought home by Chen Tieshu was exposed.

Because of her status as an educated youth, this incident was reported in newspapers, which portrayed her as a poor educated youth destroyed by the times, which had a great impact.

Zhou Weili knew everything.

Upon further investigation, I found out that Hu Wenwen is actually Qin Hanshu's stepsister. Doesn't that mean she is related to the Zhou family?

Zhou Weili wanted to find Hu Wenwen and see how to hold Chen Tieshu accountable.

Because Chen Tieshu said that Hu Wenwen married him voluntarily, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the story was not that simple.

If Hu Wenwen is not found, there will be no evidence to convict Chen Tieshu.

But Hu Wenwen seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.

Chen Tieshu reported the incident to the police only half a year ago, and his family had not yet had the chance to tell Qin Hanshu about it.

Zhu Jingsu suddenly remembered it and started talking about it.

"You said it was God's will. Chenjialiang is so close to Haowan Village, but I didn't know your sister was in Chenjialiang."

"But don't worry, your second brother is personally supervising the search for someone."

If it weren't for Qin Hanshu's relationship, Zhou Weili would definitely not take it so seriously and would just leave it to the public security department.

Zhu Jingsu said this to make it clear to Qin Hanshu that Zhou Weili was selling face to Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang.

Qin Hanshu considered his words and said, "Second sister-in-law, I thank you for thinking about me so much, I appreciate it, but..."

"To be honest, Hu Wenwen and I don't have a good relationship. We can even say we have a grudge against each other..."

Qin Hanshu recounted what the Hu family had done.

Zhu Jingsu was very surprised and said: "How can there be such a shameless family in the world? Your mother is also..."

Zhu Jingsu swallowed his words and said, "There's no need to acknowledge such a relative. It's also our fault for wanting to help your enemy without knowing the truth."

Qin Hanshu smiled and shook his head, "You don't know either... So, I really don't want to care about Hu Wenwen's life or death."

Zhu Jingsu nodded and said, "I understand. Let's just let it go. If the police can find it, they can. Your second brother won't be involved anymore."

Qin Hanshu thought silently that even if all the police from a county in the northwest were mobilized, they would probably not be able to find Hu Wenwen.

Qin Hanshu sent Zhu Jingsu to the train station.

Before getting on the train, Zhu Jingsu said, "You and Weiguang should go home when you have time. You haven't been home for so many years, and your family members miss you so much."

After so many years of marriage, Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang have never returned home, except when Zhou Qi was born, when Zhao Chunmiao came.

There are objective reasons for this, but Qin Hanshu really doesn't have the awareness to work hard to create the conditions.

Zhou Weiguang would occasionally miss his family, and every time he did so, he would send money and things to them.

But material compensation cannot offset the lack of family affection.

Zhu Jingsu's words also reminded Qin Hanshu that Zhou Weiguang's work was becoming more and more demanding, but she was better off.

If it really doesn't work, she can take the children back.

As a military dependent, this is also her responsibility.

When Zhou Weiguang returned home, Qin Hanshu told him about this.

The man stared at her for a long time, then hugged her.

The strong arms hurt Qin Hanshu's waist and she struggled a bit.

Zhou Weiguang loosened his grip a little, but still rested his head on her shoulder, rubbing against her neck like a big dog.

"Wife, I..."

Qin Hanshu heard something was wrong in his voice and interrupted him quickly, "Don't be sentimental, the kids will come in soon and laugh at you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sheng pushed the door open.

"Dad, fight with me!"

After Zhou Sheng finished shouting, he saw his father and mother hugging each other, and he said, "Hugging mom as soon as you come back, you are so shameless."

Zhou Weiguang: "... Brat!"

Zhou Sheng came over, hugged Zhou Weiguang's legs, and tried to separate the two of them. "Hurry, fight with me! I want to be the commander!"

Zhou Weiguang is not as majestic and inviolable as other fathers in the courtyard. He is strict when he needs to be, but he will also patiently and kindly play some childish games with Zhou Sheng.

Qin Hanshu pushed him and said, "Go out. You finally came back. Spend more time with him."

Zhou Weiguang was reluctant because he wanted to accompany his wife.

***

In the first year that Zhou Weiguang was transferred to the Third Regiment as the head, he had no time to take a long vacation, and it was probably difficult for him to even go home on New Year's Eve.

Qin Hanshu simply decided to take her two children back to the northwest to celebrate the New Year.

When she was preparing to take things home before leaving, Qin Feiyang asked her if she wanted to bring a TV.

Qin Hanshu laughed, "It's not because of anything else. The TV is so heavy and expensive. I have to take care of two children. How can I carry it?"

Qin Feiyang said: "It's easy actually. I can ask my friends on the train to help you look after your luggage. You just need to take care of the child."

Qin Hanshu's heart was moved.

She and Zhou Weiguang had not been back for ten years, mainly because Zhou Weiguang, as a son, owed too much to his parents.

Qin Feiyang advised: "Bring one, since we have the conditions anyway."

Qin Hanshu nodded and chose an 18-inch color TV.

A domestic black-and-white TV costs three or four hundred yuan, and you need a ticket. This color TV costs over a thousand yuan.

However, neither Qin Hanshu nor Qin Feiyang took this little money seriously.

The monthly gross profit of any one of the two electrical appliance stores can create a millionaire.

In addition to TV, other things are naturally indispensable.

Qin Hanshu packed two big bags with clothes, daily necessities and food.

She sent a telegram in advance, and Zhou Weili would send someone to pick her up at the train station in the provincial capital.

On the day of departure, Zhou Weiguang took half a day to see him off and gave her instructions for a long time.

Finally, Zhou Weiguang ignored the impact and held Qin Hanshu's hand, "Wife, thank you..."

Before Qin Hanshu could say anything, Zhou Sheng yelled, "Oh my, dad, please be ashamed! Why do you always like to take advantage of my mom?"

There was nothing wrong with saying goodbye and holding hands on the platform, but Zhou Sheng's shout made everyone around look over and chuckle.

Zhou Qi covered his brother's mouth, dragged him aside, and said to his parents sensibly, "It's okay, you guys continue."

Zhou Weiguang took off his hat and scratched his itchy scalp hard.

Poor son! I really want to take off my belt and beat him up!
