Chapter 282 Old-Fashioned



Su Zhen's face was filled with surprise. "You're overthinking it. The reason why the Third Brother cares so much about Tian Ying is because of Yuzhu's arrangement. Zhou Ergou is a jerk, and Yuzhu is just worried that her sister will have a hard time. But having said that, the Third Brother is quite righteous in this matter. He's a real man for once. I admire him from the bottom of my heart."

"Tsk, I'm talking to you!"

Shi Weiqiang pointed at his wife and said, "Let me tell you, some love begins with sympathy."

"Tsk!" Su Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Where did you learn this?"

"I won't tell you." Shi Weiqiang blushed. He was usually an honest man, so it was rare for him to say the word "love". "Anyway, I want to write a letter to the second brother. I'll ask Uncle Xu to help me write it someday."

"Whatever you want, worry about nothing."

Su Zhen just felt that her man was thinking too much and that it was simply impossible.

A military dependents area thousands of miles away.

Ever since he knew that Tian Yuzhu was pregnant, Shi Zhentang got up early and went to bed late every day. As long as he had time, he would clean up the house and the outside.

The phrase that is often on my lips is: "I'll do it."

Tian Yuzhu felt happy but also worried that he was too tired.

When I woke up that day, I saw that all my clothes, inner and outer, had been washed clean by him and were hanging in the yard, and my heart suddenly felt warm.

After the two of them had breakfast, Tian Yuzhu planned to go to town to buy some household supplies.

Shi Zhentang took her bowl and washed it while instructing her, "Pile everything you've bought at Jinju's place. I'll pick it up when I have time this afternoon. You can't carry it."

"Okay, fine." Tian Yuzhu rolled her eyes.

She is as strong as an ox, and the new era healthy pregnancy guide says that pregnant women can exercise appropriately and do things within their ability as long as there is nothing abnormal in their body.

Just like those foreigners, they still do load exercise.

But this matter could not be explained clearly to Shi Zhentang, as his ideas were still old-fashioned.

Since you can't explain it clearly, just agree to it.

So many days have passed since the earthquake, and the people of Shuochi Town have gradually resumed their daily lives. The supply and marketing cooperative's house withstood the earthquake, and Jinju has returned to work as usual.

But today, when Tian Yuzhu walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Jinju secretly wiping away tears.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Jinju is a cheerful person. She usually never frowns, so why is she crying?

"Uh, it's okay, Yuzhu, what do you want to buy today?" Jinju turned around and quickly wiped away her tears, trying to force a smile, but that expression was uglier than crying.

Tian Yuzhu looked at her with concern: "You don't look alright, tell me what's going on. Even if I can't help you, you'll feel better if you tell me."

It would have been better if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said it, Jinju's mouth flattened and tears streamed down like beads from a broken string: "Yuzhu, my dad is so pitiful, wuwu..."

When Jin Ju's father, Jin Mo, was young, he once went to Luwangpo alone with his fearless temper.

No one knew what he went through in there, but after returning home he became crazy and dumb and couldn't speak. Later, his madness gradually improved, and Grandma Qiao found him a wife named Fang.

His daughter-in-law ran away after giving birth to Jinju. Huang Mo did not look for her nor did he blame her. He lived a quiet life with his mother and daughter.

I originally thought that my life would be fine like this, but there was an earthquake a few days ago. I don’t know why, but Huang Mo started to go crazy again!

Jinju felt sorry for her old father. He was so old but still acting crazy. He suffered and made her and her grandmother worried. They were afraid that he would run to Luwangpo again. It would be a problem whether he could come out again!

Tian Yuzhu understood her difficulties and sighed: "Sister, since uncle's condition is like this, it's useless for you to just cry. We need to find a doctor to see him. Otherwise, I will accompany you to the county town and ask if the hospital there will accept him."

Jin Ju shook her head: "It's useless. I've treated him before. Grandma said it was a mental illness."

If it is really a mental illness, it is extremely difficult to find a psychologist in this era. Not to mention a small place like this, I guess you can't even find a decent one in Beijing.

Tian Yuzhu saw that Jinju looked haggard, and guessed that she was worried about her father day and night and couldn't sleep well.

"Sister, let me ask Uncle One-Eyed Dragon to help watch over you, so you can rest for two days."

"One-eyed dragon, he..."

Jin Ju looked puzzled: "How could he possibly listen to you?"

That little old man is really evil. He is lazy and eats all day long and never gives face to anyone.

"I have something on him." Tian Yuzhu couldn't explain in detail, so she just told a white lie. Moreover, considering the One-Eyed Dragon's personality, it was more credible.

Jinju remembered that the last time they were caught together by Song Fang.

So he said, "If he really listens to you, then if you ask him to watch over her for one night, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Grandma is old, and I have to take care of both. I'm really worried that my dad will run away from town."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"By the way, Yuzhu, the house has been completed. Can you take a look at it?" Jinju suddenly remembered this matter. The house had been in the hands of the owner for several days and it was only finally completed. She felt a little embarrassed.

Tian Yuzhu didn't take it to heart. She looked at the signature on it and closed it: "Thank you, sister. By the way, don't throw away the agreement I signed for you."

He also mentioned the agreement to compensate one-tenth of the house price ten years later.

Jin Ju couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You girl, who would rush to give money to others? Besides, this house is yours, and you still want to compensate me. You, you have to care about others even if you suffer a loss yourself."

"Sister, suffering a loss is a blessing." Tian Yuzhu blinked her clear eyes.

Next, she selected some daily necessities and food for the family, said she would come back to get them later, and went directly to find the one-eyed man.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that half of the house that One-Eyed Dragon rented had collapsed due to the earthquake, and the remaining half was uninhabitable.

The one-eyed man took out all his bedding scraps and threw them in the corner of the yard. A thick layer of dust fell on them, but he was nowhere to be found.

After walking around the house, Tian Yuzhu still didn't see anyone. She planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up the things she had bought and come back tomorrow.

As soon as I turned around, I saw the little old man.

He squinted his eyes and saw that it was Tian Yuzhu. He quickly took the pipe out of his mouth, wiped it on the sole of his shoe to put out the fire, and trotted over happily: "Yuzhu, you finally showed up. I didn't dare to go to the military district to look for you. Let me tell you, I found the person!"

Before Tian Yuzhu could react, he shook his head proudly and said, "He is definitely a first-class jade carver. His ancestors have been engaged in jade carving for eight generations."

"Eight generations of ancestors? That's incredible, uncle, you're not bragging, are you?"

"No, absolutely not. Don't worry about this. How about I take you to Awu Village to meet him now?"

"I'm afraid not today." Tian Yuzhu thought that she wouldn't be able to return from Awu for a while, and she hadn't discussed this with Shi Zhentang beforehand, so he would be furious. So she said, "Uncle, calm him down first. I'll go to Laowu Village with you tomorrow."
