"When will our daughter come back?" Zheng Bing missed his eldest daughter very much. He hadn't seen her for many days and missed her very much.
Zheng Yan's grandmother was sick, and Sun Guizhi couldn't leave her home, so Zheng Yan said she would go and take care of her grandmother in place of her mother. She has been gone for more than half a month.
Sun Guizhi rolled her eyes at Zheng Bing. "It's as if I don't miss my daughter. Her grandmother sent a message yesterday saying that the child is going to school and living with them, so we don't have to worry about her."
Sun Guizhi's parents were not originally from here. She came here after marrying Zheng Bing. Two years ago, when they saw that the situation was not good, her parents moved the whole family to the small county town here.
Sun Guizhi was now closer to her parents' home and had the opportunity to visit her parents' home occasionally like other wives.
"Then shouldn't we bring some food for our daughter?"
Sun Guizhi laughed: "Don't worry, our daughter won't starve. Don't you think about it, my mother loves our daughter so much, she will definitely accept the things we send her."
"My brothers and sisters-in-law also love Yan Zi. After all, Yan Zi is the only daughter in our family. I will just bring some gifts with me next time I go there."
Zheng Bing knew that his wife was much more educated than he was, and he was willing to talk to her about anything he couldn't figure out. He glanced outside and didn't see anyone.
"Wife, I want to ask you something."
"Just ask. It's quite formal. What's wrong?" Sun Guizhi followed her husband to the main room. The yard was not a good place to talk.
After Zheng Bing sat down, he recounted what had just happened: "Wife, why am I still confused? Why do I feel like Ye Zi is suddenly different from before?"
It doesn't seem like Ye Zi has grown up, or has gained more experience after going out. He thinks he has a good eye for people. He can't be unable to see through a child, right?
To be honest, when he was talking to Ye Zi just now, he felt like the child in front of him had a new heart. As a former soldier, he naturally had a lot of thoughts. Was he really afraid that Ye Zi would be replaced by someone during this trip?
It’s no wonder that Zheng Bing thought too much. At this time, there were many spies disguised as other people lurking around. Zheng Bing had done a similar mission before.
Sun Guizhi found it funny. Her husband was busy with the brigade's affairs all day long and didn't have much contact with Ye Zi. Besides, Ye Zi was deliberately hiding her abilities, so she couldn't see through it.
"You're just overthinking it. Ye Zi was deliberately hiding her abilities before. Otherwise, think about the old couple and Chen Lao Er from the Chen family. If they could really leave Ye Zi alone like that, where would she run away? They would have to be watching her all day long."
"For the Chen family, only those who are honest and simple-minded and only know how to work are the easiest to control. If they are too smart, those two old men may do something strange."
"Don't worry, Ye Zi hasn't changed. This kid may seem a little silly on the surface, but he's actually quite clever."
"Just look at how she managed to separate herself from the Chen family's main branch without losing anything, and you can tell she has something in mind."
"Didn't you also say that Ye Zi plans to set up her own household and just tell others that she's been adopted by Uncle Chen Er? We just need to keep it a secret while the girl is still young. That way, when Uncle Chen comes back, he won't be able to find fault with Ye Zi."
Zheng Bing chuckled, "I didn't expect that he looked like an honest guy, but turned out to be a little fox. I didn't even notice it with my eyes. My wife is really amazing."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Zi is in love with our daughter, and the child didn't try to hide it from me. Okay, you still have things to do, so hurry up and do your thing."
"If you want to see my son, send that brat back quickly. He can't see anyone when he opens his eyes. Send him to school in the fall. He's almost become a wild child and stays away from home all day."
Zheng Bing was happy when talking about his youngest son. His youngest son was so naughty. His wife had such a good temper, but he was forced by his eldest son to pick up a broom and beat people.
"Okay, how many boys can stay at home? Let him go out and play. He won't have time to go out and play when he goes to school."
Sun Guizhi waved her hand with a look of disgust. Her eldest son was spoiled by his father and brothers and sisters. That guy is a monkey if he gets any hair stuck on him.
Chen Ye did not go home directly, but went to the village chief's house. The village chief's house and the team leader's house were across the river from each other. She wanted to go up the mountain to get wood, so she had to ask the village chief for approval.
If there is no approval, it would be considered as undermining socialism, and she will not leave this little tail for others to catch.
Chen Ye was just about to shout to see if anyone was home when the door of the village chief Wang Weimin's house was pushed open and a somewhat stout woman walked out.
This woman is Wang Weimin, the wife of Village Chief Wang, Zhou Danniu. Look, this head can fit Wang Weimin.
I heard from the villagers that Zhou Danniu's father and grandfather were both bandits in the past. Zhou Danniu's tough aura was inherited from her parents. She is one of the women in the village who should not be messed with, and her fighting ability is very strong.
Many old people in Fengshou Village used to be bandits, but the unrest had little impact on their village. That was because these former bandits had fought against the Japanese and made great contributions, so their awareness was beyond doubt.
Even when they were bandits, these people never attacked ordinary people, so it was so easy for the government to incorporate them into the villagers without any worries.
However, they brought some of those habits with them. The younger generations of these families are a bit fierce and will fight if they disagree with something. However, they are very sensible and will not cause any big trouble, making it difficult for the village cadres.
Although Fengshou Village is a village with mixed surnames, the villagers are strong and united enough that no nearby villages, big or small, dare to provoke the people of Fengshou Village easily.
Zhou Danniu opened the gate and smiled brightly when she saw Chen Ye. She took Chen Ye's hand and walked into the yard: "When did you come back, kid? Come directly into the yard next time. Your uncle is at home. You have something to talk to him about, right?"
Chen Ye put the brown sugar in his hand into Zhou Danniu's hand and said, "Auntie, this is the brown sugar I brought back for my sister-in-law. Give it to my sister-in-law to nourish her."
Although Chen Ye is a well-known poor girl in the village, she is definitely knowledgeable about the ways of the world. She will not leave out any family in the village when they have problems. She learned this little by little from wandering around the village since she was a child.
Zhou Da Niu refused: "No way, this is precious and hard to buy. Take it back and nourish yourself."
Chen Ye pushed the brown sugar back. This was how people here always gave gifts. Even if they clearly wanted it, they still had to push and shove it. "That won't do. I brought it specially for my sister-in-law. I was away a while ago, and my sister-in-law gave birth, but I didn't come over to see my nephew."
Wang Weimin is older than Zheng Bingban, but Wang Weimin has always lived in the village and got married early. The youngest of his three sons already has a child.
