Qin Hanshu returned to the cave and checked the net bag Zhou Weiguang had given her.

There were only a few boxes of soap, two bottles of toilet water, and two silk scarves stuffed inside.

What is this?

Qin Hanshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took out the things.

One scarf is bright red, the other is bright green. She doesn't know if she will ever have the chance to use them...

Just leave it there for now.

Zhou Weiguang will be leaving in a few days.

Qin Hanshu thought about it and decided to go to Zhou's house to see him off. He also wrote a letter to Qin Feiyang and asked Zhou Weiguang to help take it over.

Apart from this, the two did not speak alone.

Zhao Chunmiao cried like a tearful person, holding on to Zhou Weiguang and not letting go, "When is the next time you come to visit me? Remember what you said, you must bring a wife back to see me next time you come to visit me."

Zhou Changan also looked at his son expectantly.

Zhou Weiguang quickly glanced at Qin Hanshu, nodded, and promised in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise!"

That looks quite confident.

Zhou Changan said: "If you fail to do so, you will have to follow our arrangements."

Zhou Weiguang nodded.

Just like when he came back, when Zhou Weiguang left, a large crowd gathered at the door of his house to see him off.

After saying goodbye for a long time, Zhou Weiguang finally managed to get away and left without looking back.

After Zhou Weiguang left, Lin Zhiheng, who had been visiting his relatives, returned to the village.

Lin Zhiheng looked very haggard, and it was unclear whether it was because of the fatigue from the journey or because his parents were not well.

Ma Chaoyang went to exchange for another chicken and stewed it to welcome Lin Zhiheng. This time he invited Qin Hanshu and Zhang Kangmei to come and eat together.

Qin Hanshu wondered, "Didn't you say that you've spent all your money and will have to live a hard and simple life from now on?"

Ma Chaoyang said, "Don't you realize how frugal I am now? I eat coarse grains half of the time in a month! I only eat meat once every ten days or half a month! Isn't it because Lao Lin is so thin that I gritted my teeth and changed a chicken to give him a boost?"

Lin Zhiheng was quite embarrassed, "You don't have to spend any money."

"Oh, you're just listening to his nonsense!" Zhang Kangmei sneered at Ma Chaoyang, "You just want to have a good meal, and you're using Lin Zhiheng as an excuse!"

Ma Chaoyang chuckled, "Anyway, I am indeed living a simple and frugal life now."

What Ma Chaoyang said was true. He still had some money in his pocket, but when he thought about how long he would have to stay in Haowan Village, he developed a sense of crisis and he dared not spend that little money as recklessly as he had done before.

The meat he got once every ten days or half a month was basically from Qin Hanshu or Zhang Kangmei.

"Okay, stop being so funny." Qin Hanshu asked Lin Zhiheng, "Are your parents okay?"

Lin Zhiheng nodded. "Although it's hard, I'm still healthy. It's just..."

Ma Chaoyang was curious, "Just what?"

Lin Zhiheng sighed, "My grandfather has been rehabilitated."

Ma Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "That's a good thing!"

Lin Zhiheng: "It was indeed a good thing, but after he was rehabilitated, he accepted the job and left my grandma alone in the south."

Lin Zhiheng's grandfather is a scientist. He accepted the job without bringing his family with him, most likely because he was involved in some secret scientific research project.

"My grandma is in a bad mental state because of what she's been through in the past few years. Although she can take care of herself, my mom is very worried."

Ma Chaoyang said: "Bring her to the capital."

Lin Zhiheng shook his head, "My parents are both in the cadre school, and I can't take my grandma to the cadre school to live with them..."

Zhang Kangmei suggested, "Or, arrange a place for her to live in the capital. After all, it's closer and there are many acquaintances there, so they can help her in time if anything happens."

Lin Zhiheng smiled bitterly, "If we could arrange a place to live, we wouldn't have to worry about it. But our house has long been uninhabitable..."

Qin Hanshu's heart moved.

If her plan goes well, once the Hu family is driven out, Yang Aizheng will most likely follow them, and the house will be empty.

If such a nice house is left empty, I’m afraid someone else will want to take over the house.

It could be given to Lin Zhiheng's grandmother to live in, whether renting or borrowing, it didn't matter. Lin's maternal family was a family of scholars, so there was no need to worry about any disputes afterwards.

However, the plan has not been implemented yet, so it is not convenient to tell Lin Zhiheng about this.

It’s not too late to talk about it until it’s settled.

***

After the first month of the year, the temperature dropped suddenly again, and a late spring cold snap came.

Even in Jiangcheng, a city in the south, people have put on thick winter clothes again.

As soon as Zhou Weiguang returned to his unit, he delivered the letter to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang didn't rush to open the letter. Instead, he pestered Zhou Weiguang and asked, "How is my sister? Is she very thin? Is she dark and dry because of the wind on the Loess Plateau?"

Thin? Dark and dry?

Recalling Qin Hanshu's pearly appearance, Zhou Weiguang felt itchy as if his heart was tickled by a feather.

Glancing at Qin Feiyang, he restrained his expression in time, frowned and said seriously: "No, she is fine!"

Qin Feiyang expressed doubt.

Zhou Weiguang said, "I haven't yet investigated your lies! Your sister is clearly very agile and a good shooter, why do you say she is Lin Daiyu?"

"Shooting a gun?" Qin Feiyang was stunned and couldn't react. "She learned to shoot a gun?"

In Qin Feiyang's impression, although Qin Hanshu would not fall down if the wind blew, she was indeed a weak little girl.

Why is the Qin Hanshu described by Zhou Weiguang different from the one I remember?

But there was no need for Zhou Weiguang to lie to him.

Qin Feiyang frowned and thought, would going to the countryside to join a production team bring about such a big change?

Zhou Weiguang glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, your sister is fine."

Qin Feiyang smiled and stopped discussing Qin Hanshu.

He put on a gossipy expression and looked at Zhou Weiguang with a smile, "When you go home this time, didn't your family prepare a wife for you?"

Zhou Weiguang paused and snorted.

Qin Feiyang took off his hat and played with it in his hands, sighing and laughing: "I am already preparing to file a marriage report, and I will be ahead of you."

Zhou Weiguang raised his eyebrows. "Married? That dancer?"

Qin Feiyang nodded, "Yes, I will apply for a dormitory after we get married, and then I will bring my sister to live with us."

Zhou Weiguang lowered his eyes and said casually, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law live together, aren't you afraid that they will fight?"

"No!" Qin Feiyang said with certainty, "They are both weak little girls, how could they fight?"

Qin Feiyang was skeptical about Qin Hanshu mentioned by Zhou Weiguang until he saw him with his own eyes.

His sister is a little delicate girl who needs protection!

"Old squad leader! When are you going to get married?" Qin Feiyang mentioned this again, looking a little proud, "Don't lag too far behind me. In terms of age, you are still one year older than me."

Zhou Weiguang is now a little reluctant to hear the word "old".

He simply said: "You won't be left too far behind!"

Qin Feiyang smelled something unusual, and came up to him and asked, "What's going on? Who is it? Someone you know back home? Or someone from the art troupe? Or a military doctor?"

Zhou Weiguang looked at Qin Feiyang, who was eager to learn, and said stiffly: "You will know it when the time comes."

Qin Feiyang sneered suspiciously, "Are you bragging? Can your ten thousand year old iron tree bloom?"

"Besides, what blind girl would like you? You can't even fart after being beaten with three sticks."

Zhou Weiguang glanced at Qin Feiyang and said nothing more.

Qin Feiyang felt even more itchy.

Seeing that he couldn't pry Zhou Weiguang open his mouth, he reluctantly threw out one last question, "How is she? Is she pretty?"

Zhou Weiguang finally opened his mouth with compassion, and four words appeared seriously on his dark face.

"Beautiful as a fairy in heaven."

Qin Feiyang blinked.

Well, considering Zhou Weiguang’s aesthetic taste, he could praise her as “as beautiful as a fairy”, so this girl must be a female version of Zhang Fei!
