673: Please come over for a drink at the wedding
Not long after, Jia Zan and Jia Song's parents arrived.
When the old couple heard that their son was stabbed by You Wenyue, they rushed to the hospital without stopping.
When she arrived, she was surprised to see her youngest son there too. She was immediately overwhelmed with sadness and joy and burst into tears.
Yu Xiaoye did not disturb the family reunion and quietly left the ward.
When I got outside the ward, I saw a well-dressed, well-maintained woman in her fifties at the stairs, crying as if the sky had fallen, saying:
"But what should I do? What should I do? Lao You, Wen Yue, what happened to you? You left me here alone. What should I do?"
After hearing this, Yu Xiaoye realized that this woman was You Wenyue's mother.
The old man was lying in the hospital, his life or death uncertain, his daughter was arrested, and his son-in-law was also lying in the hospital bed. Suddenly, all three people in the family were gone. It was like the sky had fallen.
Yu Xiaoye didn't bother to care about so many things. Every wrong has its perpetrator. What happened to You Wenyue's mother today was not her fault. She couldn't help either, so there was no need to pretend to be helpful.
So he walked past Yu Wenyue's mother and went down the stairs alone.
As soon as she left the hospital, she ran into Zhuang Huaijian and Zhou Ziheng, mother and daughter, who came to look for her, so she followed them home.
------
On the other side, Zhou Ziheng was in the meeting hall. Although he was also thinking about his family and Yu Xiaoye, he was busy with work. Moreover, today was an important group meeting. Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation wanted to meet with their Beidahuang Corps working group alone to listen to their detailed report on the situation in the Corps and then make new instructions.
This meeting was quite important, and Zhou Ziheng was unable to get away, so he had to put other things aside for the time being.
At the group meeting, Zhou Ziheng was as rigorous and serious as ever. He knew every piece of data of the Beidahuang Corps like the back of his hand and could report on the Corps' various situations fluently without even looking at his notebook.
The answers to Minister Zhao's questions were fluent, affirmative and unambiguous.
Zhao Kuanmin nodded frequently and praised Zhou Ziheng for his responsible, meticulous and conscientious work in front of everyone.
Afterwards, Zhao Kuanmin made new deployments for the Corps.
After the group meeting, Zhao Kuanmin left Zhou Ziheng alone, and the two finally had time to talk in private.
Zhao Kuanmin continued to praise Zhou Ziheng, and was obviously very satisfied with this capable man.
Then Zhao Kuanmin asked Zhou Ziheng:
"Can your parents understand your decision to transfer to the Great Northern Wilderness?"
"They'll understand."
"So, they still don't understand you?"
Zhou Ziheng did not deny it.
Most of the children in the compound are in regular military units, and none of them are willing to go to the corps.
Going to the Great Northern Wilderness is equivalent to being demoted.
Especially for an outstanding soldier like Zhou Ziheng who had outstanding abilities and made many contributions and had a bright future in the army, it was difficult for ordinary people to understand why he suddenly transferred to the Corps.
It is even more unacceptable for parents.
Zhao Kuanmin could understand Zhou Ziheng's situation, and he was actually a little curious:
"Why did you transfer to the Beidahuang Corps?"
"Of course I have my own reasons, but don't worry, I don't regret my decision. I didn't regret it before, I don't regret it now, and I won't regret it in the future."
"Okay! Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. Hengzi, you are a man of action. If—I mean if, if I need you in the future, can you come to me?"
Zhou Ziheng was puzzled:
"Minister Zhao, I don't understand what you mean."
Zhao Kuanmin realized he had said too much, so he smiled awkwardly and changed his words:
"I feel that sending you to the Great Northern Wilderness to be a farm manager is a bit of a waste of your talent. If there is a position that requires you more in the future, I hope you can obey the overall situation."
"Of course, at any time, if the country needs me, I will be on standby!"
"Okay, very good. I feel relieved with your words."
Seeing that Minister Zhao had almost finished speaking, Zhou Ziheng stood up and said goodbye:
"Minister Zhao, I won't bother you anymore. It's tiring to have so many meetings. Please get some rest."
"Okay." Zhao Kuanmin stood up and saw Zhou Ziheng off.
Zhou Ziheng suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said in a more relaxed tone:
"Minister Zhao, after the meeting, could you please come to my house for a drink?"
Zhao Kuanmin asked with a smile:
"What kind of drinks?"
A hint of shyness appeared on Zhou Ziheng's face:
"After the meeting, I'm getting married. I'll set up a few tables of banquet at home and I'd like to invite you over for a drink."
"Really? You're getting married? I absolutely must drink this wine!" Zhao Kuanmin was very excited. "It just so happens that I haven't been back to the compound in years. This is a good opportunity to meet up with my old buddies. Oh, and who's the bride's background? She actually won you over."
Zhou Ziheng said modestly:
"Nothing special, just an ordinary, considerate girl you've met."
"Oh, I've seen it?"
Zhao Kuanmin began to wonder when he had met this girl before.
Before he could remember, Zhou Ziheng said:
"It's Yu Xiaoye."
"Oh?! It's her, the pioneering sister. I saw her backstage the other day!"
"yes."
"Hahahahahaha——" Zhao Kuanmin laughed loudly, and then praised, "That girl is not bad, she is beautiful and smart, she is worthy of you."
"I'm trying to climb above my station."
Zhao Kuanmin saw that Zhou Ziheng's words were full of affection for the girl. It seemed that they were a truly loving and well-matched couple. Zhao Kuanmin was very happy to share in the young people's joy:
"Okay, I'll definitely be there then, and I have to prepare a big gift for you."
After Zhou Ziheng finished his meeting with Zhao Kuanmin, he went to the guesthouse of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation.
The performance team of the Second Division Art Troupe led by Liang Qin was about to leave the capital and return to the Great Northern Wilderness. Zhou Ziheng went to take a look and pack Yu Xiaoye's luggage.
Before, the two thought that
I planned to stay at home for one day and then come back, but I didn't expect that I would never come back. A lot of Yu Xiaoye's luggage was still left in the guesthouse room.
Liang Qin packed up Yu Xiaoye's luggage, handed it to Zhou Ziheng, and said in a questioning tone:
"Where's Ono?"
"Please ask for a few days' leave for her. I'll take her back when I'm done with my work here."
"If I didn't know you cared about her, I would really worry that you did something shameful to her."
Zhou Ziheng smiled and suddenly said:
"What a shame, what a shame you have to lead the team back, otherwise, I would have invited you to have a glass of wedding wine anyway."
Liang Qin widened her eyes:
"Wedding banquet?!"
"Yes, for the wedding banquet, Xiao Ye and I decided to hold the banquet in the capital first, so these few days are considered as wedding leave for her."
“!!!”
Zhou Ziheng took the initiative to tell Liang Qin about his and Yu Xiaoye's wedding in Beijing, for he was afraid that Liang Qin would take revenge on him after she found out.
As the saying goes, confession leads to leniency. If you confess today, your guilt will be slightly reduced.
Liang Qin was no longer calm:
"Zhou Ziheng, that's enough. You've repeatedly tried to scheme against Xiao Ye, and I understand that you like her too much. But now you're suddenly planning to get married. Have you gotten her consent, and her parents' consent?"
