Chapter 104 Crisis on the Island? !
Zhao Guifen is such a loud and outspoken person, but when he said this, he showed genuine fear and nervousness.
She was tense all over.
Especially when the word "explosion" was mentioned, my body trembled.
She held the hoe tightly in her palm and said with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Sister Rou, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I was really scared."
Zhao Guifen is in his thirties this year, judging by his age.
When she was a child, it was the war time of the 1940s.
What she remembers most vividly during that turbulent time is the chaos and bombings that ensued, and the need to hide in caves from time to time.
Sometimes I would hide for several days.
They couldn’t make fire to cook, and could only drink cold water and eat dry food.
This is how we get through the days.
As she grew older, life got better and times became peaceful.
But peace does not mean security.
Because of that period of war, countless shells and explosives fell on this piece of Chinese land.
Some have exploded, while others are still buried deep in the soil.
Maybe at some point, if we are not careful, a heartbreaking tragedy will happen.
Zhao Guifen had probably experienced all of this before, so when she heard Erhuzi say it was an "explosion", she immediately became panicked and was frightened so much.
Why did Erhuzi say such a thing?
At Zhao Guifen's home, she liked to eavesdrop when she had nothing to do. Her two sons followed suit and often stood on a wide bench, looking around and listening.
Da Huzi was not at home today, and Er Huzi was bored, so he stood on a bench and shot birds with a slingshot.
Playing.
Erhuzi suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance.
It smells like sesame oil.
Sesame oil is different from ordinary rapeseed oil. It has a particularly strong aroma that can be smelled from far away.
Not to mention that Jiang Rou also heated up the sesame oil, which made the aroma even stronger.
Erhuzi smelled the fragrance in the next yard and instantly started drooling.
He also heard a crackling sound.
I immediately knew that the Zhou family was making delicious food!
He remembered that a new aunt came to the yard next door. Not only was she very pretty, but her cooking was also very delicious.
Erhuzi was greedy and wanted Zhao Guifen to go visit Jiang Rou and bring back some food.
But Zhao Guifen was busy cleaning the house and had no time to deal with this bad boy who loved to cause trouble.
Back and forth.
Erhuzi came up with a bad idea.
He directly called out to his sister-in-law.
"Mom, there was an explosion at Uncle Zhou's house next door."
These words frightened Zhao Guifen so much that she was terrified immediately.
Of the seven souls, three are missing.
When Zhao Guifen rushed over, he picked up a hoe and seemed to have decided to dig the ground to find someone.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
…
Jiang Rou made a simple guess.
She helped Zhao Guifen sit down on a chair beside her.
He poured another glass of water to calm Zhao Guifen down.
"Sister Guifen, this is no joke. When you heard there was an explosion, you rushed over in such a hurry. You were not afraid of danger, but you were worried about us. I can't thank you enough. I feel especially safe when you live next door."
After being comforted by Jiang Rou, he drank a few sips of water and felt relieved.
Zhao Guifen finally came to his senses.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"It's all my son Erhu's nonsense. When I get back, I'll give him a spanking."
When Jiang Rou heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled.
As for how Zhao Guifen educates her children, she does not interfere.
The two sat and chatted idly.
Zhao Guifen put down the cup and sighed.
"Sister Rou, I'm not really surprised by this. I'm just really scared. There was an explosion on our island just a few days ago."
Jiang Rou frowned and asked in confusion.
"It exploded?"
How come she doesn't know?
I haven't really heard of this.
Zhao Guifen was stunned.
Then she counted on her fingers.
"…It was the two days when Captain Zhou took you and the children to the city. You were not on the island at the time, and Sister Hong didn't allow us to discuss it. No wonder you didn't know about it."
"The explosive photo...is it a bomb?"
Jiang Rou frowned and asked softly.
She is a modern person in a very peaceful and safe country, and is well protected by an even braver group of people.
I have never felt such a danger before.
The most critical moment in Jiang Rou's life was when she was knocked unconscious by Lin Xiu'er and thrown into the cabin.
The word "bomb" was unfamiliar to her.
They are all strangers.
It was not until this moment that she clearly saw the tension and solemnity on Zhao Guifen's face.
Zhao Guifen nodded.
She glanced at Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan beside her and lowered her voice.
"It was a bomb. It landed in a field, probably several decades ago. The production team happened to be working there, and they accidentally hit it, and then it exploded."
"After so many years, the bomb's power is not that strong anymore. And it happened in a dirt pit. Fortunately, only one person was injured. He suffered minor skin injuries, but no one was killed."
"But this matter must be resolved. Otherwise, we will be worried when we go to the fields to work. How can we farm? Your old Zhou has been leaving early and coming back late recently. I guess he is also busy with this matter."
"My husband Zhao is also busy with this, so I am so scared."
After saying this.
Jiang Rou's originally calm heart became completely uneasy.
She recalled the day when she came back from the city and Song Yan was waiting anxiously for Zhou Chongshan at the dock.
However.
These days, Zhou Chongshan went out early and came back late every day, but he didn't say a word.
If Jiang Rou hadn't heard what Zhao Guifen said, she would probably still be kept in the dark.
This kind of worry and fear exists not only in Jiang Rou's heart, but also in the hearts of every sister-in-law in the compound.
So this day.
When Zhao Guifen came to Jiang Rou's house, she smelled the aroma of sesame oil duck in the air, but she didn't want to mention it.
After the misunderstanding was resolved.
Zhao Guifen went back with an uneasy mood.
Jiang Rou watched Zhao Guifen leave in the yard.
Right after.
"Erhuzi!"
"You little bastard! Let's see where you can hide!"
"I'm going to spank your butt today! Bah! You're just talking nonsense!"
Zhao Guifen's roar and Erhuzi's chaotic footsteps came from the other side of the wall.
There was a lot of chaos.
This vivid daily routine made Jiang Rou's originally heavy heart feel a little lighter.
Right after.
There was a soft touch on Jiang Rou's fingers.
When she lowered her head, she saw Zhou Xiaohua walking to her side, looking up at her with concern with her cute little face.
Jiang Rou hid her feelings and showed a gentle and brilliant smile.
"Let's go back to the house. I just washed my hands, not my face. Xiaohua worked so hard to fetch water, we can't waste it."
Zhou Xiaohua also laughed.
