Chapter 221
Du Yunxin was on night shift, so she didn't go upstairs and went straight to the office.
When they got downstairs, the driver Xiao Wang wanted to follow behind with the luggage, but Qiu Zeming firmly asked Xiao Wang to go in front. Then he took advantage of the dim light and shamelessly held the girl's hand.
Comrade Xiao Wang was very considerate. He was worried about Qiu Zeming's health, so he quickly took three steps at a time and helped knock on the door of his home.
Qiu Zeming: ...
He pulled his partner up two steps.
Xiao Wang acted decisively. He put down his luggage, bowed to Qiu Zeming, and left without even noticing Qiu Zeming's resentful look.
Aunt Fang had already come out. Seeing Qiu Zeming's arm hanging in a sling, she felt so distressed that she kept asking, "Is the injury okay?"
Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt Fang. I'm much better now."
"Then I'll go to the kitchen and cook you a bowl of noodles. Do you want to eat, Jiani?"
Zhou Jiani shook her head: "I don't want to eat Aunt Fang anymore."
Aunt Fang turned and went to the kitchen.
Mr. Qiu looked Qiu Zeming up and down, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he turned around and said, "Come to the study to talk."
This is to ask about the situation on the front line.
Qiu Zeming followed the old man and Qiu Dongshu to the study. Zhou Jiani sat down on the sofa, spreading her hands and browsing her phone.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren didn't chat for too long in the study. Aunt Fang had just cooked the noodles and put them on the table when the study door opened.
Qiu Zeming ate a bowl of noodles and prepared to send Zhou Jiani back to school.
Now that he's back, it would have a bad impact if the news got out that Zhou Jiani was still living in the Qiu family.
"I'll give you a ride on the bike, and then you can just hold the handlebars with one hand when we get back, is that okay?"
Qiu Zeming: "It's no problem to carry someone on a bike with one hand. I'll give you a ride."
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll give you a ride."
Qiu Zeming raised his eyebrows: "Don't you trust me?"
Zhou Jiani looked around to see if there was anyone around her, and whispered, "You always tremble when I hug your waist..."
If you have the guts, stop shaking.
Qiu Zeming's body stiffened, a sense of strangeness rising in his heart, his ears felt as if they were burned with fire. He whispered, "How about I ride slower and you hold me?"
Zhou Jiani rolled her eyes at her and said, "Come on, just follow me."
She pushed the cart out and Qiu Zeming followed with a chuckle.
"Are the duck eggs I sent you before delicious?"
Qiu Zeming nodded. "It's really delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll bring some back for my comrades when I return so we can all have some nutrition."
Zhou Jiani: "Then I'll tell them in advance to focus on your side first."
The two of them didn't ride their bikes immediately after leaving the compound, but walked slowly along the path. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say.
Zhou Jiani has already asked for leave from the teacher who checks the dormitories. She is going to pick up her boyfriend who was injured on the front line, so she will be back late.
The teacher knew that her boyfriend had been fighting on the front line and was in awe of her. She only reminded her to be careful on her way back to school.
So Zhou Jiani didn't have to rush back to take roll call and discuss arrangements for the next few days.
"I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow for a checkup. If you need to be hospitalized, stay for a few days. Don't try to be stubborn. If you don't need to be hospitalized, let's go see the courtyards in Shichahai tomorrow afternoon and stay in the capital for a few days to recuperate."
Qiu Zeming nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two walked for a while, and Zhou Jiani was worried about his injuries and the fact that he had been on the train for such a long time, so she didn't dawdle any longer.
After getting on the bike and holding the handlebars firmly, Qiu Zeming easily got on the back seat, right next to his partner. A faint fragrance drifted over, and Comrade Qiu stiffened again.
When they arrived near the dormitory building, Zhou Jiani asked Qiu Zeming to go back.
After watching Qiu Zeming ride away with one hand on the handlebars, Zhou Jiani returned to the dormitory.
My roommates were not asleep. Some were reading, and some were packing their luggage.
Feng Ya has fallen asleep.
Knowing that Zhou Jiani was going to pick up her boyfriend, everyone whispered and made a few jokes.
Zhou Jiani found an opportunity to talk to Lu Minjuan: "Boss, what are your plans for summer vacation?"
What are your plans?
Lv Minjuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Take Fengya out for a walk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I've asked people from several neighborhood committees to look for a place to live. If we can find a place to live before we go home, I'll clean the house out first and then go back to talk to my family. If we can negotiate, I'll stay for a few days and then bring my mom and Fengya back. If we can't find a place for the time being, I'll take Fengya back. If we can't negotiate with my family, I'll just bring Fengya back and live in the dormitory first while I look for a place slowly."
No matter what, she would definitely not stay at home until school started and then come back. Lu Minjuan didn't want to see her father's face, nor did she want the neighbors to gossip about her and make Feng Ya feel bad.
Zhou Jiani thought for a moment and then said, "The Bin County Weaving Factory is facing a tight production schedule, so they're looking to hire a temporary summer worker. The factory will provide accommodation, but not food. If you're willing to stay there for a while, I'll put you in touch with the factory."
"I'll also have someone look for places to live here for you. As long as the surrounding environment is safe and not too far from the school, I'll have someone help you book it right away..."
It wasn't like Lv Minjuan hadn't served as a brigade cadre before. She knew how difficult a job was. With such an opportunity to earn money, even the locals couldn't find one, so why would they give it to someone from outside the area? It must have been Lao Wu who had used his connections to ask for her. Her nose felt sore, and she said with emotion, "Jia Ni, thank you so much. I'll take the kids home first. If everything goes well back home, I'll go to Bin County to work for a while, and then bring them to the capital."
Lv Minjuan was very tempted by Zhou Jiani's suggestion; she couldn't find such an opportunity to make money normally. She only had the little she'd saved up before, plus the school subsidy. This little money would have to support two adults and a child for several years, so every penny counted... She also wanted to send Fengya to school.
As for the house, she should have some news in the next few days. If you still can't find it, please ask Jiani's friends for help.
The next morning, Feng Ya saw her smiling with her eyes crooked. Zhou Jiani touched her head and grabbed a few candies from her bag. There were fruit candies and milk candies. Feng Ya's eyes widened and she couldn't help swallowing. She stared at the candies and whispered, "Auntie, I don't want any..."
"Here, this is what Auntie bought specially for you."
There was a small pocket on her skirt, and Zhou Jiani opened it and stuffed the food in, saying, "You can't eat too much at once. It's bad for your teeth."
Feng Ya was still a little embarrassed and turned to look at her mother. Lu Minjuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jiani."
"Thank you, Aunt Jiani."
Lv Minjuan then said to Zhou Jiani: "Don't spend money so often in the future."
Everyone was short of money, and she felt embarrassed to keep asking her roommates to spend money on Feng Ya.
"A few pieces of candy are nothing."
Zhou Jiani was about to say goodbye to her roommates and go find her boyfriend when Zhao Mingzhu came in and said with a wink, "Jiani, there's a man downstairs wearing a military uniform with one arm in a sling. He says he's your boyfriend."
Zhou Jiani was delighted: "That's my boyfriend."
Last night she told Qiu Zeming not to come and pick her up, but he came anyway.
She hooked her bag over her shoulder and walked out. Behind her, she heard Zhao Mingzhu chattering to others, "She's really tall and really beautiful."
Those who had never seen Zhou Jiani's boyfriend before ran out to see him, and Lu Minjuan even took Feng Ya out to see her "uncle".
Zhou Jiani was overjoyed listening to the noise.
She ran downstairs quickly. Qiu Zeming was standing there with one arm hanging and two lunch boxes in his left hand, standing straight, becoming the focus of the people below the dormitory building.
Zhou Jiani: "Didn't we agree to meet at the hospital?"
Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "I want to go to the shore of Weiming Lake with you to have breakfast. After breakfast, we can take the bus there."
There are a lot of students doing morning reading over there. Where can we go to eat and be a spectacle to others?
However, Zhou Jiani still satisfied his little wish, and the two of them went to the shore of Weiming Lake side by side. There were quite a few people there, but they would not take up too much space, so they just found a place to sit down and have breakfast.
There were two lunch boxes of fried pancakes, each topped with two fried eggs, which smelled particularly delicious.
Qiu Zeming's right hand was hanging, making it inconvenient for him to hold chopsticks, but he could gently hold the lunch box and eat with his left hand. Zhou Jiani would pay attention to him from time to time and help him support himself.
"Isn't Aunt Du on the night shift? She should be off work by now. Which doctor should I ask for a checkup?"
Qiu Zeming: "My mother is working overtime. She will go back after I finish the examination."
Zhou Jiani: "...then why did you come over for breakfast?"
This filial son.
Qiu Zeming looked up at Zhou Jiani and said with a smile, "My mother is very worried about you. She's especially afraid that her daughter-in-law will run away. I rarely come back, and if I don't spend more time with you, she will be dissatisfied."
He then said, "I've made an appointment with Zhang Zhenguang and the others to have a meal together in the next few days. Would you like to make some arrangements and treat your roommates to a meal?"
Zhou Jiani nodded: "Let's decide after we look at today's examination results."
Qiu Zeming rode his bike here this morning and had just parked at the carport. After dinner, he gave the key to Jiani, and the two of them took the bus to the military hospital.
Du Yunxin yawned as she and her colleagues gave him a comprehensive examination.
The healing is going well and the recovery is going well. I will have to wear the splint for a while, but I don't have to stay in the hospital.
Zhou Jiani was relieved, and Qiu Zeming also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to lie in the hospital and delay his date.
After leaving the hospital, Du Yunxin went home to catch up on her sleep, and the young couple took a bus to Shichahai.
The bus wasn't that convenient, but neither of them minded walking. They held hands when there was no one around, and then separated when they saw people around. It was both funny and exciting to be sneaky.
She brought her boyfriend into the alley and introduced him to the neighbors in the alley, but they were watched by the elderly men and women as they opened the door and went in. The couple was so nervous that they didn't even dare to close the door.
But how could Qiu Zeming just come here in such a plain and simple manner? He put his hand on the waist of his girlfriend, brought her to a position where her sight was blocked, hugged her and kissed her. He kept his ears alert to any movement outside while kissing her greedily.
In the end, I didn't dare stay there for too long, because there would really be an old lady coming over and peeking inside.
Fortunately, at that time, Qiu Zeming was using a well pump with one hand to pump water, and Zhou Jiani was also tidying up something in the yard, and she was gesturing towards the yard seriously: "Cut out a piece of green onion over there..."
These two are really good at pretending.
When it was time to hand over to Zhai Hong, Zhou Jiani did not let Qiu Zeming go with her. She went to meet him herself and collected more than 200 duck eggs.
Zhou Jiani told her about her boyfriend's return: "When he returns, I plan to take more with him and share some with his comrades, so I'd better reserve all the duck eggs you have."
Zhai Hong nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, I will make sure the quality and quantity are guaranteed."
Zhai Hong didn't come back just to give him the duck eggs. The results were about to be out, and it was time for summer vacation to officially start. She had to come back no matter what.
In order to create a surprising effect, Zhou Jiani did not mention the matter of Lu Minjuan's daughter to her. After all, the roommates didn't know about the meeting between the two. If she told them in advance, it would be bad if Comrade Zhai Hong acted too calm.
He only mentioned treating everyone to dinner in the evening.
The two separated and Zhai Hong returned to school. As soon as she entered the school, she saw a little girl in a skirt sitting on a stool next to Lv Minjuan. She was neither noisy nor noisy, and was well-behaved and quiet.
She exclaimed, "Oh, where did this little girl come from?"
Lv Minjuan hurriedly introduced her: "This is my daughter, Lv Siyu, nicknamed Fengya."
After finally winning her daughter over, Lv Minjuan planned to let Fengya take her surname and give her a new full name, and Fengya would be her nickname from now on.
After her mother's introduction, Feng Ya called people and became a little shy and nervous again.
Zhai Hong squatted down and talked to her, and also stuffed a duck egg into Feng Ya's mouth.
She was originally full of curiosity, after all, she had never heard the boss mention it before, but Liu Guixiang gave her a slight look, and she suppressed her curiosity temporarily. She found some time to ask her roommates about it, and was immediately amazed.
Knowing that Lv Minjuan was looking for an apartment, she suggested, "Boss, don't worry. If you really can't find one in the city, come look for one here. It's a bit far, but you can stay here temporarily. When you find a suitable place in the city, you can move here."
Lu Minjuan's eyes lit up. Yes, this was also a solution. Then she would feel less panicked.
An hour later, Zhou Jiani came back in a pretentious manner and even acted surprised to Zhai Hong: "The third brother is back?"
Zhai Hong suppressed the twitching corner of her mouth and said, "I just came back a while ago. Where have you been?"
"She's on a date," Zhao Mingzhu quickly replied. Zhai Hong had no choice but to pretend to be surprised and asked, "Your partner is back? That's great..."
"Yeah, it's rare for him to come back." Zhou Jiani suppressed her laughter and said, "Oh, sisters, and Comrade Xiao Fengya, Zeming and I will treat everyone to dinner tonight."
There was a sudden cheer in the dormitory.
