"What's wrong? Do you want some water?"
The man's steady voice rang out clearly, like an invisible force, blocking out the frightening sounds of explosions.
When Tian Yuzhu looked out again, she saw the man walking towards her with a smile.
Everything around was so quiet, and there was a gentle breeze outside the window.
Apart from Shi Zhentang's footsteps, the only sound in the house was a sports game playing on TV at a very low volume.
Even Xiao Hei was still lying on the ground and didn't stand up. He just opened his eyes when he heard his owner's voice and was not panicked at all.
Shi Zhentang walked closer and found that his daughter-in-law's face was pale.
Startled: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"no."
"I know why my eyelids have been twitching so much these past few days. Something's going to happen."
"Explosion." Tian Yuzhu's lips trembled slightly. "Something will explode, and there will be a big fire."
Shi Zhentang's expression tensed. He quickly sat on the bed, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed her softly, "Okay, I got it. I'll be more careful around here. Don't be nervous."
Tian Yuzhu nodded silently.
This foreboding was more terrifying than any other time. Fortunately, she only heard the explosion and saw the fire, and did not see anyone injured.
Shi Zhentang sat for a while, waiting for his wife's emotions to calm down. Then he held her face in his hands and said, "I will take this matter very seriously. Don't worry. Let's calm down and analyze where the explosives are."
Yes, when you find a problem, solve it. It’s useless to just be afraid and worried.
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Is there such a place in the army?"
Shi Zhentang pondered for a moment. "Of course there are some dangerous items in the armory, but the soldiers guarding it are usually very cautious. I'll go check it out soon. Generally speaking, it's almost impossible for something to happen in the army armory."
"There was nothing that could explode in the military family area." Tian Yuzhu recalled that every household of her sisters-in-law still used firewood to cook, unlike the gas stoves that were available later.
"If there's no problem with the entire military district, I'll go to the town to check it out tomorrow."
"Okay, find an excuse and ask Qin Xu for help."
To check whether there were explosives in ordinary people's homes, one naturally had to find an excuse. They used the recent unrest at the border as an excuse, fearing that someone was carrying contraband.
Shi Zhentang took two people with him when he went to town the next day.
One is Li Shengli, and the other is the rookie Duan Xiaowei.
He trusted Li Shengli, not to mention Duan Xiaowei. He told him that this was a secret mission and could not be revealed, so he kept it secret more than anyone else.
As a result, after visiting every household in the town for a whole day, I didn't find any clues.
There was no choice but to let Duan Xiaowei return to the army first.
Shi Zhentang took Li Shengli for a walk around the town and visited the garment factory.
After leaving the garment factory, Li Shengli finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Brother, why are we doing this today? If you had told me it was a military mission, would I have to hide it?"
Shi Zhentang gave him a cigarette and lit it himself.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Your sister-in-law's due date is approaching. I don't know if it's because she's under a lot of pressure, but she keeps having nightmares. Yesterday, I asked her what her nightmares were, and she said she dreamed of something exploding. She was worried, so she asked me to check if there were any dangerous items in the homes of ordinary people."
Li Shengli was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Brother, you...you don't spoil your wife like this, right? You made us die one day earlier."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said too much, and the other party gave him a cold look, so he smiled awkwardly.
"Although I will definitely go through fire and water for anything my sister-in-law asks me to do, I just think the possibility of it becoming a reality is slim."
Shi Zhentang decided to give him a shot of prevention first. So far, none of his daughter-in-law's predictions have failed.
Except for Aunt Zhang, the future nanny who ran away.
"Victory, there's a saying in my hometown that dreams of pregnant women are very accurate, so that's why I believe it."
"Really?" Li Shengli opened his mouth wide.
"Well, I don't need to lie to you."
"That's it."
"What's the meaning?"
"Ding Weiwei said she dreamed we had three children. Think about it, brother. Three, can I afford to raise them? Even if I could, wouldn't I be exhausted? With so many kids chattering around at home, life would be impossible!"
“…”
Shi Zhentang smiled but said nothing.
Thinking of three? Stop dreaming. My wife told me that the family planning policy has begun.
Not to mention three, for a couple like them who are both in the army, it is impossible to have two. In the future, there will be a large number of only children.
Shi Zhentang simply brought the topic back: "Anyway, no matter where you go, remember my words and take your sister-in-law's dream seriously. What if something happens?"
Li Shengli still found it incredible, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he agreed: "Yes, I understand!"
…
After this foresight, Tian Yuzhu never had another one. For several days in a row, she felt anxious and her eyelids twitching.
She asked Shi Zhentang to go to the garment factory several times in a row, and asked Wang Xiudie about the situation in the factory almost every day.
The news is that everything is normal.
Including the one-eyed man, Hu Weiguo who was far away in the provincial capital, Zhao Xiaoman in Beijing... She called them all and asked tentatively.
Everything is fine, nothing happened.
However, where Tian Yuzhu could not see, a conspiracy was brewing.
"Sister, can this thing really work?"
The young man stared anxiously at the homemade grenade with a wooden handle placed in the wooden box.
"Of course it can be done. This was seized from a stranger a few days ago when I was busting speculation and profiteering. He was from the other side of the mountain. He wanted to do something bad that day, but he dropped the bag while running away."
"I just secretly kept this one person here. Now he's been imprisoned somewhere, so it's okay."
Song Fen's face showed a sinister look, and her eyes were full of viciousness.
"See? If you pull this, it will explode."
"Sister, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry about it." Song Fen grabbed his collar and said, "If you weren't so strong, I wouldn't let you do this. I can only feel relieved if I do it myself. I hate that Tian Yuzhu. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been fired, and I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Don't worry, we'll find a good opportunity to throw a grenade into her garment factory. It will be done without anyone noticing. No one will even know it was us who did it."
The young man gritted his teeth and nodded: "When things are done, sister promised to take me to the big city to make money."
"Of course, I've wanted to leave this damn place for a long time, but I have to vent my anger before I go."
"So when do we act?"
The walls of the Zhulianbihe Garment Factory are particularly high, originally built to prevent people from climbing over and stealing food.
It plays a very good defensive role now, so you have to get close to throw grenades in, otherwise they won't go in...
Song Fen said, "Let's go check it out tomorrow."
