Chapter 28 Left and Right Neighbors Control Group 28
Zhou Rongxuan smiled and said, "It seems that Big Brother has taught you very well."
Zhang Xiaojia thought about her childhood and realized that it wasn't like that! She was taught well by her grandfather. If it weren't for him, both she and her father would have offended others and died.
No matter how ignorant she is of the ways of the world, she would listen to advice. However, her father was a guy who would never listen to advice. He had the temper of a rich young master, and was both willful and stubborn. As long as there was something he didn't like, he would directly confront it without any scruples, without considering the consequences at all.
Her father took advantage of the old man's pampering and acted as he pleased.
Now think about it, she is such a good child!
Zhang Xiaojia smiled but said nothing.
Zhang Xiaojia suddenly asked, "Is your eldest sister's daughter also surnamed Zhang?"
Zhou Rongxuan looked at her helplessly and said, "Why do you want so many Zhang family children? Isn't Zhang Xiaoyang and my son enough?"
Zhang Xiaojia said pitifully, "Of the five little guys, only one wants to be an acupuncturist! He's still wavering. I want to pass on my medical skills. It doesn't matter to whom, but it would be best if it could be passed on to the Zhang family."
"My eldest sister is someone who thinks everything dad says is right. Don't teach the old man in front of her, otherwise she will be unhappy."
Zhang Xiaojia: "If I don't call her old man, will she give me her daughter?"
Zhou Rongxuan.......

He Fei spent a full week tirelessly carrying out arduous repairs on the battered aircraft. Not only did he successfully repair the aircraft's various existing faults, he also meticulously modified its engine and reapplied a coat of special paint. This magical paint effectively evades radar detection, making it virtually invisible in the air.
Meanwhile, He Fei was also busy. He also took a fancy to the shattered jeep and, with his superb skills and perseverance, repaired it back to its original state. This way, if Jia Jia wanted to return to Zhejiang, she could drive this well-performing car to her destination smoothly.
Just as everyone was amazed at He Fei's outstanding performance, Song Kun did not hide his excitement and joy.
He spoke confidently in front of all the leaders, saying loudly, "Dear leaders, I solemnly announce that next year's Jiuzhou military exercise will be held in Yongzhou! And this time, we will surely be victorious! Because our headquarters is located on this aircraft that He Fei has carefully repaired. Moreover, as the host of this military exercise, we have a unique geographical advantage. As long as we strictly implement the combat plan according to the advanced communication technology developed by He Fei, then there is no doubt that our military expenditure will increase significantly, and may even double several times!"
General Tan An calmly said, "Perhaps after this exercise, you will become the eldest son's subordinate."
Everyone's attention shifted to He Fei. Everyone knew clearly in their hearts: This guy wouldn't be here for much longer. At best, they could only keep him for another year. A crucial talent like him was a treasure, so how could they not be coveted? So, they might as well follow his plan. At the very least, the army's technological level had to be significantly improved before he left. Only then could they even claim their investment in the unit be recouped.
When He Fei and Song Kun and their soldiers dragged these scrap copper and iron parts back home, their hearts were broken.
This group of big men actually pointed fingers at him so ruthlessly. They claimed with certainty that if he drove back with the carefully assembled and decorated car, he would inevitably attract countless gossips and strange looks, which would have a huge negative impact on him.
But he pulled all these scrap copper and iron parts back to the family compound, and then reassembled them into a complete car in front of everyone! Let people know his ability, so that all the rumors can be avoided.
He Fei asked again: "Leaders, after I finish reassembling this car, this broken car will belong to me, right? After all, it is just a bunch of junk, and no one can fix it except me."
Political Commissar Wang Jun said directly: "Get lost~~~"
Those big guys have an expression on their faces that they are doing this for your own good, you little bastard, don't be ungrateful.
He Fei looked at the group of big men with a depressed look on his face, knowing in his heart that they knew they were right.
Zhang Xiaojia watched He Fei come back and saw the outline of a car on the cart, while the rest was broken up and bumpy, and even the tires seemed to be bent.
He Hefei saw his wife coming from afar, his face full of resentment. He said to her, "Jia Jia, those big guys told me before that if I could fix all that junk and assemble it into a complete car, they would sell it to me. I put in a lot of effort and successfully assembled two cars, but they didn't keep their promise. Not only did they not give me the car, but they threw me a pile of junk and told me to continue assembling it, saying that this is my car!"
After hearing her husband's complaints, Zhang Xiaojia was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. Without saying a word, she grabbed He Fei's hand tightly and said indignantly, "Come on, husband, I'll take you to find them and argue with them. We must get justice!"
He Fei nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll follow my wife's arrangements."
Song Kun, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward to stop the two of them, pleading with a bitter face, "Oh my, Old He, please don't join in the fun and fan the flames! Sister-in-law, please be magnanimous and calm down first, okay? I beg you to have mercy on me and spare this poor old brother! I really can't keep making trouble today. I want to go home early to visit my mother!"
However, Zhang Xiaojia didn't fall for his tricks at all. She just stared at He Fei and thought to herself: As long as her husband showed even the slightest bit of unwillingness or reluctance, she would definitely rush up and make a scene without hesitation, and make those untrustworthy guys pay!
He Fei felt his wife's concerned gaze, and his heart couldn't help but warm. He held Jia Jia's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Jia Jia, I was actually feeling really aggrieved at first, but when I heard you were willing to stand up and help me get an explanation, I felt relieved all of a sudden. I didn't feel any grievances at all! It turns out that being loved and cared for is such a wonderful feeling!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaojia's pretty face turned red, as beautiful and tempting as a ripe apple.
Song Kun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. This old He is so shameless!
He Fei thought to himself, "What shame am I going to have! I was too rough last time. If I want to get laid tonight, I have to be a little bit more miserable."
He Fei carefully drove the slightly worn car into his spacious yard and parked it securely. As night fell, the family gathered around the dining table to enjoy a sumptuous dinner. However, when people learned that He Fei was repairing the car in the yard, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and came to watch with great interest.
You know, for most men, cars are an irresistible love. Especially in this day and age, owning a private car is an extremely glorious and prestigious thing! Although the car in front of him looks shabby, fortunately He Fei is proficient in auto repair technology. Otherwise, who would be willing to spend a full 800 yuan to buy this seemingly worthless pile of scrap metal?
A closer look revealed the tire rims were twisted and distorted, the motor in even worse condition, having long since stopped working. The wiring was nearly all disconnected, hanging in a tangled mess. Even the doors were rusted and rickety, seemingly ready to fall off at the slightest touch. Surprisingly, despite the car's overall condition, the frame appeared remarkably sturdy.
It's worth noting that the ingenious He Fei also ingeniously designed and installed two different fuel systems for the car. One uses traditional fuel as its power source, while the other uses an advanced solar energy system. This way, even if the fuel runs out, the car can simply switch to the solar energy system and continue driving normally.
If He Fei didn't have the glue from the interstellar space, he would never dare to drive the car so dangerously for Jia Jia.
The next day was Sunday, and there were even more people watching him repair the car. Pingping, in particular, was so excited that his eyes widened. He said in a childish voice, "Uncle, fix it quickly. Dad said that after you finish repairing it, he will take us back home."
He Fei sneered and said, "Tell your father to stop dreaming. The leader will never let him drive this car back home. This car cannot leave Yongzhou."
Song Kun wanted to drive He Fei's car back home, but was scolded by his superiors. Furthermore, they asked him to take a leave of absence and go home to complete a mission: to go to the Qingzhou Military Region to purchase scrapped cars, scrapped aircraft, tanks, artillery, and other equipment. Furthermore, the superiors gave him relevant documents and sufficient funds, and told him to complete this mission.
He Fei originally wanted to repair the car in three days. After dinner, Zhang Hao came over and sat in the yard and said to He Fei, "Xiao Fei, as the saying goes, 'A tall tree attracts the wind.' If you can really repair the car in just three days, people might praise you for your great skills and techniques at first.
But what about a month from now? The situation would be completely different! They'd definitely start talking about how there wasn't really anything wrong with the car, that it was just a little damaged, and that the engine might even be intact! Someone might even start a rumor, saying we're just changing the exterior to make it look better and refusing to admit it.
"They're relying on their grandfather's position as commander of Yongzhou's Third Army to deliberately sell you this car, which is fine on the inside but broken on the outside, and accuse us of stealing from Kyushu. Who would believe this car is completely broken, inside and out, and beyond repair? Those with ulterior motives will surely find every excuse to slander us!"
He Fei thought about this problem seriously, and it was true. Human hearts are really disgusting sometimes.
Zhang Xiaojia frowned and looked at the old man. He wanted to avoid suspicion of this and that. A man of integrity is not afraid of his shadow being crooked.
Before she could say anything, Zhang Hao glanced at Zhang Xiaojia. She was actually frightened by Zhang Hao's aura. She was so useless.
He Fei slowed down. It took him a week to finish one of the four tire rims.
Zhou Rongxian's current condition is rather special. Although the injuries on other parts of his body have gradually healed, the injured soft tissue has not yet fully recovered.
He had to soak his entire leg in the bathtub to speed up the recovery process. Whenever Zhou Rongxian was about to soak his feet, Zhang Xiaojia would deliberately avoid him.
This wasn't because of any other reason, but because Zhang Xiaojia was worried that people would misunderstand that she was abusing or bullying Zhou Rongxuan. After all, his screams were so miserable that the neighbors on both sides could hear them.
Every time Zhou Rongxian started to soak his feet, Zhang Xiaojia would hurriedly run to the big tree with lush branches and leaves in front of the yard to chat with Aunt Huang and several other neighbors. There was usually a group of women gathered there, doing needlework while laughing and sharing interesting things and gossip in life. There was only one team leader's wife here, Zhang Xiaojia, and she could always quickly integrate into the group with her excellent medical skills.
Zhejiang Province, located in the south of the Nine Provinces, enjoys a mild and humid climate; Yong Province, located in the north, experiences harsh, dry winters. It's often said that the cold of a southern winter is like a magical attack, pervasively invading the body, leaving no escape. In contrast, a northern winter is more like a physical attack, with biting winds and icy chills.
Since arriving in Yongzhou, she hadn't felt the chill of northern winter much. This was all thanks to the jade pendant He Fei had given her. He Fei had told her that it was a high-tech product—a solar-powered mini-cooler that automatically adjusted body temperature based on the environment and human needs. Because of this, no matter how cold the weather outside, she could always stay warm and comfortable.
One day, as she was getting ready for a shower, something unexpected happened. She'd accidentally gotten the jade pendant's string wet, so she had to remove it and set it aside. As she stepped out of the bathroom, a fierce northeast-northwest wind blew in her face. The chill seemed to instantly penetrate all her clothing, penetrating deep into her bones! For a brief moment, she felt as if she were nearly "killed" by the icy wind.
He Fei was out on a mission. As the commander of the First Regiment, he now also served as the head of the 13th Regiment's Military Merit Research Institute, and his work became increasingly busy. In the past, he would finish his busy day and return home to be with her by seven o'clock at the latest, but now he would not be back until at least nine o'clock.
