Chapter 34 You two really do look alike.
Wen Jinzhou "..."
Xie Zhizhi quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I want to find someone to help me take care of my child!"
Xie Zhizhi always felt that the Xie family would wage a protracted war against her.
She didn't want to fight.
So losing their child was a devastating blow to the Xie family.
"Bring your nephew?" Wen Jinzhou asked.
Xie Zhizhi nodded, "The one with a bad temper and a fiery personality would be best."
Wen Jinzhou nodded and said, "I'll ask around for you later."
Xie Zhizhi gave him a meat bun she had bought herself, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wen Jinzhou smiled and accepted the steamed bun, "No need to be so polite with me."
Xie Zhizhi and Wen Jinzhou often met in the cafeteria, where they would whisper to each other in a very "intimate" manner.
Then finally, one of Wen Jinzhou's acquaintances couldn't help but jokingly step forward and ask, "Battalion Commander Wen, who is this?"
Before Wen Jinzhou could reply, the other person winked at him ambiguously and asked, "Are you pursuing that girl?"
Wen Jinzhou "..."
Xie Zhizhi "..."
Both of them had expressions that said: How could you say such nonsense!
Wen Jinzhou raised his finger, pointed at Xie Zhizhi, then pointed at himself, "Zhizhi?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Zhizhi is Commander Zhou's wife!"
"Commander Zhou is on a mission and asked me to look after him."
Xie Zhizhi nodded in affirmation.
There was not a trace of "ambiguity" in their expressions, nor did they seem embarrassed about being misunderstood.
That expression was truly sinister.
The person asking the question was speechless.
Are you two really not up to anything?
They meet up in the cafeteria every day and chat.
Can……
The other person scratched their head sheepishly, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Then they quickly left.
Xie Zhizhi also left with the steamed buns, saying, "Don't forget to ask for me!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget," Wen Jinzhou replied.
Wen Jinzhou was indeed very efficient. That afternoon, he told Xie Zhizhi that he had found a suitable candidate.
The wife of a deputy battalion commander in the family compound was thirty-two years old. She had only been in the compound for a short time, but she already had a notorious reputation. It was said that no one in the compound could win an argument with her, and that she also liked to get into fights.
Even her husband can't do anything about her.
Xie Zhizhi was very satisfied upon hearing this, "She's the one."
In the evening, Xie Zhizhi, carrying a bag of milk candy and two pounds of biscuits that she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, went with Wen Jinzhou to the home of the military wife.
The military family compound was recently renovated; it consists of two-story white buildings.
The deputy battalion commander lived on the first floor, so he was easy to find.
When they arrived, Guo Hong was starting a fire in the stove.
Wen Jinzhou was the first to greet her, "Are you Sister-in-law Guo Hong?"
Guo Hong put down the palm-leaf fan she was using to fan the fire, stood up, and asked, "Who are you?"
Guo Hong stood up, and Wen Jinzhou and Xie Zhizhi realized that she was not only sturdy but also very tall.
Xie Zhizhi thought, no wonder he has such a "fierce reputation"!
Good!
Wen Jinzhou quickly smiled and said, "I am Wen Jinzhou, from the Second Battalion."
Guo Hong slapped her thigh and laughed heartily, "Oh my god, it's Battalion Commander Wen!"
"Come in and sit down!"
We really need to sit down and talk about Xie Zhizhi's matter in detail.
So the two of them went inside.
Although Guo Hong doesn't seem like a meticulous person, her house is quite tidy.
After Xie Zhizhi entered the house, she placed the things she brought on the small table inside.
Guo Hong immediately picked up the things, "Oh Mom, look at you two, you came all this way, why are you being so polite, carrying so much stuff, it's too much trouble!"
After saying that, he put the milk candy and biscuits into the cabinet inside the house.
Xie Zhizhi was also very satisfied with her actions.
Guo Hong's personality ensures that Zhou Xie won't get any advantage over her.
He doesn't cry every day; that's all thanks to Zhou Xie's protagonist aura—he's had a strong personality since childhood.
After Xie Zhizhi saw that she had put her things away, she said, "I came to your house with Battalion Commander Wen because I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Guo Hong pulled up a small stool and sat down. "Oh, we're all from the same residential compound. Don't worry about it being a hassle. Tell me, if I can help, I definitely will."
"We will definitely not let you two make a wasted trip."
Xie Zhizhi "..."
Wen Jinzhou "..."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Guo Hong realized she had misunderstood something. "Oh, Mom, is there a misunderstanding?"
"I thought you two looked alike, like a married couple!"
"Is Battalion Commander Wen your brother?" Guo Hong said, covering her mouth and laughing, with an expression that said, "I knew it."
Xie Zhizhi and Wen Jinzhou exchanged a glance, and could only tell Guo Hong, "Sister-in-law, you guessed wrong. Battalion Commander Wen and I... can only be considered acquaintances."
"I am Commander Zhou's wife!"
Guo Hong looked at the two of them again, then jumped up from the small stool. "The commander's family, oh dear, why didn't you say so earlier..."
“Our family’s brown sugar…” Guo Hong said, and then got busy.
Xie Zhizhi quickly stopped her from looking for something, "Sister-in-law, don't rush, we're not thirsty, we came because we have something to discuss. Please sit down, we want to talk to you about something."
"Aren't you going to drink?" Guo Hong asked.
Xie Zhizhi nodded.
Guo Hong sat down again. "Then...then I won't look anymore. Please don't say I haven't been a good host!"
Xie Zhizhi smiled and said, "No!"
Guo Hong looked at her and Wen Jinzhou and said, "You two really look alike, like siblings."
"Look at them, their eyes and eyebrows are so alike!"
Her words were so certain that Xie Zhizhi couldn't help but glance at Wen Jinzhou beside her.
Wen Jinzhou looked at her too, and then he laughed, "How could I possibly grow up to be as beautiful as Zhizhi!"
When Wen Jinzhou praised Xie Zhizhi, his eyes were full of genuine admiration, without a trace of other emotion.
Xie Zhizhi looked at Wen Jinzhou, who had a friendly smile, and said, "Maybe it's because we both have double eyelids and big eyes."
Wen Jinzhou nodded vigorously at her words, "Yes, yes, we both have double eyelids."
Guo Hong waved her hand, "That's not it!"
Although she said "that's not what happened," Guo Hong couldn't explain what exactly happened.
After all, the two of them didn't seem to know each other very well.
Guo Hong skipped that topic and asked Xie Zhizhi, "Commander's wife, what brings you here?"
"It's like this..." Xie Zhizhi briefly explained the situation, "and my older brother and sister-in-law are no longer taking care of the child."
"I still want to work, so I'm thinking of finding someone to help me take care of my nephew. I can pay them 15 yuan a month for their help."
"I don't ask for good food or drink, I just want my child to be safe and sound."
Guo Hong, being a woman in her thirties, understood immediately.
This is like encountering the vampire's family.
Now she's using her nephew to hold her family back!
Guo Hong slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry, just bring the child over whenever you have time."
"No, I can come to you to get it."
An eight-year-old child doesn't need to be hugged or held. All he needs is some food, and it seems like he doesn't even need anything good, just something basic. He can get fifteen yuan a month. Guo Hong thinks it's a great deal.
It's much more worthwhile than her working hard every day to clear wasteland.
Clearing land might only bring in some vegetables for the family, but fifteen yuan is real money.
Seeing that she agreed, Xie Zhizhi immediately said, "I'll pack my things tomorrow and bring them over."
