Chapter 72: I'm not afraid of you when we meet
Aunt Zhou looked at the people and couldn't help laughing: "Just exchange a few eggs. The four of you came together and scared me into thinking something had happened."
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.
Zhou Ping'an was chatting with his eldest son and younger cousin in the hall. When he heard Yu Wanqing's voice, he coughed lightly and said, "Yu Zhiqing, if you're here, come in. What are you doing standing outside?"
“Feed the mosquitoes.”
Zhou Ping'an was a little surprised to see the snickering look outside the door, which surprised his eldest son Zhou Jianhua and his younger cousin Zhou Chengye, who had been away from home for many years. They were curious about what kind of educated youth would make their smiling father (cousin) so expectant.
Both the uncle and nephew looked toward the gate.
A tall and beautiful woman appeared before him.
Yu Wanqing didn't look at the other two people in the room, but looked at Secretary Zhou: "Secretary also knows that I will stand outside the door to feed mosquitoes, and I don't see you planting some mosquito repellent plants in the yard."
Zhou Pingan glared at Yu Wanqing and said, "Why plant that? It takes up space. It's better to plant a few more vegetables." He then looked at Huo Lanci and said, "Why are you here with Guo Zhiqing?"
"Who made you so fierce? You scared Hongying so much that she didn't dare to come by herself." Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci were blunt and sat next to the secretary as soon as they entered the room.
Secretary Zhou looked at Guo Hongying and said, "Guo Zhiqing, I heard that you are getting along well with the old ladies in the village. Why are you so afraid of me?"
Guo Hongying smiled awkwardly: "No, I'm not afraid of you, really."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Hongqi out of the room and said, "Secretary, I'm going to ask Auntie to get some eggs for me to cook at home. You two can chat slowly."
Mom, I just wanted to bring Wanqing to see someone who looks like him, how could I have forgotten that Secretary Zhou was at home.
What she feared most was this secretary who loved to laugh. She always felt that his laugh was a little creepy.
"Wanqing, Hongqi and I will go back first."
After that, she went to the kitchen to find the old lady, got some eggs and ran away. Seeing this, Yu Wanqing couldn't help laughing out loud: "Secretary, don't laugh when you see Hongying in the future. It's a bit scary."
Secretary Zhou was very angry and instantly regretted letting the little girl into the house. He should have let her feed mosquitoes in the yard.
He quickly changed the subject and introduced his son and younger cousin with a smile: "Jianhua, Chengye, this is Comrade Yu Wanqing, and this is Comrade Huo Lanci. Both of them are educated youth in the brigade."
“Now he’s also a forest ranger.”
After that, he introduced Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing: "This is my eldest son Zhou Jianhua, and this is my uncle's youngest son Zhou Chengye."
Yu Wanqing then looked at the two people sitting opposite her. Zhou Jianhua looked a bit like Secretary Zhou, with regular features, resoluteness, and clear eyes.
The man sitting next to Zhou Jianhua had fair skin and a tall stature, and he really looked 60% like himself.
No one would doubt that they were siblings.
Several people greeted him.
Zhou Jianhua exclaimed: "Dad, look at this Yu Zhiqing and my uncle, don't they look alike?"
Zhou Pingan looked at Yu Wanqing, then at Zhou Chengye, and then looked as if he had seen a ghost: "I was wondering why Chengye looked familiar. It turns out that he looks like Yu Zhiqing."
Huo Lanci had noticed Zhou Chengye as soon as he entered the room. His mind was completely on Yu Wanqing, so he spotted the problem right away.
A man who looks very similar to his target, a brother who wants to push his sister out in exchange for benefits.
He seemed to have discovered some great secret.
Zhou Chengye's eyes fell on Yu Wanqing's face. He said slowly, "She does look like me, just like my sister."
He discovered the problem as soon as she appeared.
There was a surge of shock in my heart, as if the truth that had been hidden for a long time was about to be revealed.
Zhou Jianhua smiled when he heard this: "Uncle, even though you really want a sister, you can only dream about it."
"You only have one biological brother and two cousins, there is no point in having more."
Zhou Chengye looked at Yu Wanqing and said with a half-smile: "Everything is possible."
Zhou Ping'an said nothing when he heard this. He just felt that things seemed to be going wrong and his uncle seemed to be losing his son.
Yu Wanqing had already met the person she wanted to meet, so she didn't stay here to disturb Secretary Zhou from having a meal.
I feel that if she continues to stay here, Secretary Zhou probably won't be able to eat.
Yu Wanqing looked at Huo Lanci, and the two of them looked at each other and stood up at the same time: "Secretary, we will go back first, and we will go into the mountain later."
Secretary Zhou's head was buzzing, and he had no intention of arguing with Yu Wanqing: "Go ahead, go ahead. Be careful and remember to bring your hunting rifle."
Yes, the four rangers shared one hunting rifle, and Chuan Ming would send the hunting rifle to Huo Lanci after work.
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Okay, we will be careful, we will leave first."
She walked into the yard and shouted to the kitchen, "Auntie, we're leaving."
"Wait a moment." Aunt Zhou rushed out and stuffed two pancakes into Yu Wanqing's hands: "One for you and Huo Zhiqing."
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen to busy himself.
Yu Wanqing didn't show any mercy. She took the pancake in her hand with a smile. When she saw Huo Lanci come out, she gave him one.
Zhou Ping'an was still worried, so he ran out of the hospital and called out "Huo Zhiqing".
Huo Lanci turned around, and Secretary Zhou said quickly: "Huo Zhiqing, you must take good care of Yu Zhiqing. If you find any wild boar coming down the mountain, you must shoot them."
When the gunshots were heard, people would strike the gongs and then go into the mountains to provide support.
"Don't worry, Secretary. I will take good care of Wan Qing."
Secretary Zhou watched the two people walk away before returning home.
Zhou Chengye looked at his cousin and said, "Brother, how did a female educated youth become a forest ranger?"
Zhou Pingan sighed, looking helpless: "That kid is very strong and skilled. He beat the men of the Five-Star Brigade so hard that they couldn't get up. He got the position of forest ranger by his own strength. What can I do?"
"She's actually so amazing." Zhou Jianhua was a little surprised: "She doesn't look like that."
"Haha." Zhou Ping'an sneered: "She can kick a woman who is fatter than her two meters away."
Aunt Zhou came in with the dishes, looked at her eldest son with a smile, and gave a kind suggestion: "If Jianhua doesn't believe it, you can go and discuss it with Yu Zhiqing. I'm sure she will be happy to teach you how to be low-key."
Zhou Jianhua shuddered, feeling that his mother's smile was a bit malicious: "Forget it."
If what my father said was true, my mother was asking for a beating.
Although he has good skills, he is not arrogant enough to think that he is invincible, and he does not look down on female comrades. You know, many people fail in missions because they look down on women.
During the meal, Aunt Zhou eagerly picked up some food for Zhou Jianhua and Zhou Chengye: "I got this bacon from Yu Zhiqing's house. It's delicious. Try it now."
While eating, Zhou Chengye asked calmly, "Second brother, are they the educated youth who came here this year?"
Secretary Zhou nodded when he heard this: "It came in May."
He thought for a moment and looked at Zhou Chengye: "Let's chat for a while after dinner."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, her hand that was picking up food paused. Since she was not blind, she could naturally see that Cheng Ye and Yu Zhiqing looked alike.
Just like siblings.
And the affairs of my uncle's family were never kept secret from anyone in the family.
