Yao Tongjia asked, somewhat puzzled, "How does this matter have anything to do with Old Mrs. Chen?"
Xiao Gengwu looked at Ruan Shengpeng with a mysterious expression: "You won't go wrong if you listen to me. During today's operation, I recognized an old man's voice. He must have been looking for my grandmother!"
"My grandma is probably the only person he knows here. He'll definitely go to her. If you keep an eye on my grandma, you'll find out by following the clues!"
"You heard it at your grandmother's place. You were only a few years old when you left Beijing. How could you remember a voice for so long?" Ruan Shengpeng looked at Xiao Gengwu with some suspicion.
Xiao Gengwu laughed: "Uncle Ruan, do you want to make a bet? If I win, we'll make the decisions about Tongtong and me?"
"That won't do! How can you use your relationship with Tongtong as a bet?" Ruan Shengpeng had no doubt about this kid's abilities.
"But why are you keeping an eye on them?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I have a feeling that there will be something to gain. Uncle Ruan, hurry up and make the arrangements! Don't regret it later when the people have left!"
Ruan Shengpeng now treats Xiao Gengwu like his own child and is willing to spoil him: "I'll make the arrangements now, you go and get some rest!"
Yao Tongjia pointed to a room: "Everything's been tidied up for you. The blankets and everything have been aired out. You can go to sleep now!"
Xiao Gengwu was really tired. He had been away from home for so many days and hadn't dared to sleep soundly, for fear that he might not wake up!
He stood up and tugged at Yao Tongjia, who then followed Xiao Gengwu into his room.
Are you curious?
"I wonder what I used to threaten my grandma into stopping her from bothering me?"
"Didn't I ask you last time, and you wouldn't tell me?"
“Others may not tell, but of course you can know!” Xiao Gengwu said, raising an eyebrow. The meaning was clear: you’re one of us!
Everyone has a gossipy nature, and Yao Tongjia was no exception: "Then why?"
"The old man whose voice I heard today is Chen Zhiyuan's father, Chen's mistress!"
"What? Wasn't it said that Chen Zhiyuan was a posthumous child?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I was young before, and I overheard their conversation. They said something like, if it weren't for me, would Chen Zhiyuan have been born? Or should we go and acknowledge Chen Zhiyuan as our relative!"
"Old Mrs. Chen quickly gave him the money, saying that he must not appear in front of Chen Zhiyuan after receiving the money, and even more so, he must not go to the Chen family to say anything bad!"
"It was only after Old Lady Chen came to cause me trouble this time that I realized what she meant! It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. That old man looked very down on his luck; he'll definitely come looking for my grandma!"
"What are they doing? Why did they suddenly attack you?"
"I don't know the specifics. Maybe it's what Uncle Xiang next door said. We're innocent victims. Let's wait and see if the people staking out can find the answers for us!"
"Aren't you afraid that if Old Mrs. Chen finds out we arrested him, she'll start bothering you again?"
"Don't worry, Old Madam Chen is most afraid of others knowing her secrets. You know, the weight of a posthumous child in the Chen family is definitely higher than that of an illegitimate child!"
"If it weren't for their reckless behavior, Chen Zhiyuan would still be a low-ranking official. In this era, a sex scandal can be fatal, yet they were completely oblivious to that."
"Never mind what others say, go to sleep!"
When Yao Tongjia walked out of Xiao Gengwu's room, she was seen by Ruan Shengpeng. Ruan Shengpeng opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly. What could he say?
Other people's delicate flowers are carefully nurtured, only to be taken away by others, pot and all. But what about his? This delicate flower hasn't even been in his hands for two years.
He used to water the flowers himself, but now that the other person is taking the pots away, why is he so upset?
Xiao Gengwu slept until dinner time before waking up. Ruan Shengpeng had already received news that an old man in disguise had indeed gone to find Old Madam Chen.
Ruan Shengpeng was truly impressed by the kid's memory. He could remember things from when he was only a few months old! It was really amazing!
Yao Tongxu asked curiously, "Didn't Brother Xiao and the others say you were an idiot when you were little? How can you remember so many things?"
"At that time, I felt like something was blocking my mind, but now it's all open. I still remember things I've heard before, and when I encounter them, my memory restarts."
"You're really amazing, Brother Xiao! From now on, I'll follow in your footsteps closely. You have to take me with you when you fly high!"
“You are also my younger brother. I will definitely take you flying, and take your sister with me to take off!” Xiao Gengwu said, looking at Yao Tongjia.
Yao Tongjia shook her head: "I can fly myself!"
Soon came the reform and opening up. At that time, even pigs could be blown up. She refused to believe that she couldn't forge her own path!
Xiao Gengwu naturally surrendered: "Of course you can fly by yourself, but I'll blow on it for you so you can fly even faster!"
Yao Tongjia agreed with this point. Everyone says that having connections in high places makes things easier, so she put aside her reserve and said, "Brother Xiao, if you're going to fly, remember to take me with you!"
Yao Yanxin never interrupts the children. She is busy sewing clothes for each child, who will be living here.
She couldn't let herself be looked down upon because of her clothes. These past two days, she had been observing the clothing of young people, and she was confident that the clothes she designed would definitely be eye-catching.
Yao Yanxin has always been very confident in making clothes! It's just that before, they didn't have cloth ration coupons, so it was good enough to have a set of clothes to wear, and it couldn't be anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, none of her designs could be shown. This time, she discovered that young people in the capital were wearing clothes in colors that were no longer limited to military green, blue, or black.
They've already started wearing bright colors like bright red and pink, and the styles are becoming more diverse. After observing them for a few days, Yao Yanxin finally dared to start making clothes!
When Yao Tongjia saw Yao Yanxin making clothes, she seemed to be glowing. Indeed, doing what you love is a kind of happiness!
Xiao Gengwu also noticed this: "Auntie is very happy!"
"Yes, after a while, we can let Mom open a garment factory. She'll definitely be even happier!"
"She lives in the military region, which is too remote and inconvenient!"
Yao Tongjia also thought of this and sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time! Or should we leave Ruan Shengpeng there by himself?"
"Not only did the three of us leave, but you also dared to run away with Aunt Yao! Your dad will probably lose his job!"
Yao Tongjia: "......" Such a situation could actually happen!
"What can we do then? We don't have the ability to transfer the division commander to another job; he said he'll stay in the military region until retirement!"
"There'll always be a chance. Let's see what we can find out this time!"
