Wen Jingwan was naturally worried; those were her biological parents. "Your uncle even wrote to ask me about them. What am I supposed to say?"
Jiang Qiao said without looking up, "If you don't want to talk about it, just say you don't know. Otherwise, why doesn't my grandfather contact you? It's because he's afraid of causing you trouble in the future."
Just think of my grandpa and grandma as living in a secluded paradise. As for where, don't ask, I won't tell you. I'll go visit them when the time comes. The old couple are doing quite well on their own, with people taking care of them and no worries about food or drink. As for the rest, it's none of your business.
"Mom, try to read the newspaper more often. The political climate has changed again, so it's best to be careful. Grandpa's in trouble, you know. Just take care of yourselves."
Wen Jingwan knew how weighty the title of capitalist was. Her husband had told her about it. She was worried about her parents. She said, "You know, my brother's family is gone. If they don't show some concern, I'm really worried about whether my parents can get over this."
"Sigh, how can I possibly have time to pay attention to these things all day long? What's wrong?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, her expression somewhat serious. "Mom, remember this: be careful what you say and do in the future. Even with colleagues or friends, there are some things you can't say. Please remember that."
"Huh? It can't be that bad, can it?"
Jiang Qiao snorted, "Just listen to me, anyway, I don't feel good."
Jiang Qiao felt more than just unwell; ever since she woke up, her dreams at night seemed to have become increasingly disturbing. She didn't know why, but she was now afraid to recall the strange images and scenes in her dreams—they were too insane. All she could do was remind the people around her to be cautious.
I threw the letters I had written into the mailbox in front of the post office on my way to school, and rode my bike to school with a heavy heart.
Ning Hao received a warning from Jiang Qiao yesterday, so he didn't dare to come and see her off. He wanted to give Jiang Qiao more of these little romantic gestures, so that when he wasn't around, she could recall this warm and romantic moment when she thought of him.
But reality was cruel. The romance he wanted to experience was just trouble in Jiang Qiao's eyes, so she directly rejected him.
However, Ning Hao himself really had something to do today. He was back, but his brothers didn't know yet, so he gathered his old friends together for a get-together.
However, seeing that Miao Xin was absent, he wondered, "What happened? Why didn't Miao Xin come? Was he not notified?"
Fu Lin said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. Who is Miao Xin? He's really risen to the top in one step. He's been transferred to work at the Tobacco Bureau, and now he rarely contacts us anymore."
I told him yesterday that you were back, and he said he's a bit busy right now and probably won't be able to come over.
Ning Hao smiled meaningfully. "The Tobacco Bureau? Don't tell me his father-in-law works there?"
Ou Ziyang gave a wry smile. "What do you think? How could their family possibly be transferred to a unit like that?"
Let me tell you, even I can't compare to them right now. Their salaries are good, and they don't have to worry about anything—it's great! But now, I have to watch my boss's face, constantly trying to decipher what he's saying. If I misunderstand, I'll be making a mistake. Sigh, this job isn't easy either.
Guan Jiefang snorted, "You should be content. I work hard every day, and you, who works in an office, are still much better off than me."
Fu Lin put his arms around his two brothers' shoulders and looked at Ning Hao with a smile. "Haozi, what's going on? You shouldn't be at home at this time. What happened?"
Ning Hao sighed, "Don't even mention it. I ran into some trouble and am resting at home."
The three brothers stared at each other in unison. "What? You're injured?"
Ning Hao nodded. "I almost died, but luckily I survived. So, as soon as I could move again, I called you guys to get together. I don't usually have time to come back, so let's take this opportunity to have a good chat and tell each other how the past year has been."
Looking back on the past year, we brothers had our share of hardships, complaints, and dissatisfaction, but also our gains and joys.
Ning Hao listened and said a few words at the same time. As they chatted, it seemed like they had found that feeling from back then again.
"Haozi, you should come back more often. We brothers are usually busy and don't have many opportunities to get together. This is great. If we have any worries, we can all get together and chat. You guys can also give us some pointers and think of solutions. That will make us feel much better."
Ning Hao was also quite helpless. "I would like to, but I have no choice in the matter. I'm a soldier, and I have to obey orders. While I'm away, you three brothers should try to get together as much as possible. It's really not easy for us brothers to come together. Do you remember how we met back then?"
Everyone laughed when this topic came up; it's like they became friends after a fight.
Guan Jiefang smiled and nodded, "That's true. It's fate that we brothers can come together. We can't let work and family matters interfere with our friendship. Haozi, let me tell you, next time, you have to come back on time. If you don't come back, we won't have such a lively time."
And then there's little sister Jiang Qiao. To be honest, I never really thought there was anything special about her before. But you have a sharp eye! These past two years, we've received quite a bit of care from her."
Ning Hao smiled and put his arm around Guan Jiefang's shoulder. "Brothers, come see everyone. I've really missed you guys."
Secondly, as I said before, please keep an eye on Jiang Qiao for me. She's a young woman who has to go to school, take care of her family, and deal with all sorts of messy things. It's really not easy for her.
If possible, if she ever asks you for anything, please help her out.
Ou Ziyang and Fu Lin laughed and pointed at Ning Hao, "You rascal, we've known for a long time that you're interested in that girl, now you should admit it, right?"
However, even without that instruction, we would still help Jiang Qiao. What kind of relationship do we have? We've fought in the same trench. The wealth we have was all thanks to Jiang Qiao.
However, on the other hand, we might have another chance to pull off a heist sometime, when we finally have enough money to support our wives and kids.
Ning Hao gave a wry smile and pointed at the two people. "Don't be too greedy. However, I estimate that Jiang Qiao will look for you if there is an opportunity. At that time, just follow her arrangements. Don't look down on Qiao'er just because she is younger than you. Her way of doing things is much more mature than ours."
Don't doubt anything. Just do what she tells you to do, as long as it's beneficial for everyone.
Guan Jiefang patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said, "You rascal, there's no shadow yet, but you're already making a fuss. You've already started trusting her so much before you've even married her into the family?"
"Just because of that one sentence, from now on, whatever Jiang Qiao asks us to do, we'll do it, right, brothers?"
Ou Ziyang laughed and said, "I think it's a good idea. You guys play forward, and I'll take care of the defense."
