Shitou and Taifeng used local materials to build a stove with stones, preparing to roast fish on it.

Shitou had participated in field survival training in the army and was very experienced in grilling fish. The children also did what they could on the side. Only Luo Qiao was arranged by Lu Yichen to take command.

He even took the time to wash a peach for her and let her sit there and eat it. She was happy to be free and sat there, giving instructions to the children from time to time.

As they were busy, they saw someone walking towards them. When they got closer, they found that it was the Zhao brothers who had helped before.

Luo Qiao greeted them with a smile: "Long time no see."

Zhao Lizhong walked over with a smile, and did not forget to greet the girl following behind him: "This is what I told you, the benefactor who helped us brothers and our family, Sister Luo."

Luo Qiao laughed: "Is this your wife?"

Zhao Lizhong smiled innocently: "Not yet, but soon, the date has been set, it will be on National Day."

He did not rashly suggest inviting others to the wedding banquet. After all, Jing City was some distance away from Ji City, and he did not want to cause trouble for others.

Luo Qiao looked at the slightly shy girl in front of her; "Hello, you have good taste. He is a responsible and responsible man. I wish you happiness."

The girl held out her hand: "Hello, I often hear Li Zhong talk about you. He said that without your help, they wouldn't be where they are today. Thank you."

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

Luo Qiao quickly held him back and said, "Don't say that. We did give them the opportunity, but the important thing is that they are very hardworking, capable, and self-disciplined. The ones we should really thank are the little and responsible ones themselves back then."

After hearing what Luo Qiao said, the girl's eyes suddenly became red, not knowing whether she felt distressed or was moved. "Anyway, thank you for lending a helping hand. Without the opportunity you gave them, they wouldn't be where they are today. This is a fact."

Luo Qiao did not refute, but pointed at the fish that was almost done grilling and said, "Let's try it together."

The girl nodded: "Okay, sorry to bother you then."

Luo Qiao smiled: "It's more lively when there are more people."

In the subsequent conversation, I learned that Zhao Lizhong had graduated from university for more than two years and was assigned to work in the Ji City Finance Bureau. The girl was from Ji City and was assigned to the Finance Section of the Ji City Education Bureau.

There is no doubt that Zhao Lizhong was blessed by this girl.

My younger brother Zhao Lijun is also very hardworking. He was admitted to a Normal University and will graduate next year. No matter where he is assigned in the future, he will have a stable job.

After chatting for a while, Luo Qiao looked at Zhao Lizhong across from her and asked, "How is your grandfather's health now?"

Zhao Lizhong smiled: "He is in good health and now lives with me in Ji City. He always says he can't get used to living in the city. I am worried about him being alone in the village, but every year when the weather is warm or when Lijun is on vacation, I will let him return to the village to live for a while."

The aroma of grilled fish attracted many people, all of whom wanted to come and have a share. In the end, all the fish in the bucket were grilled here, and anyone who came to join in the fun could get a share.

Because she had to return to Beijing tomorrow, she invited the secretary and his wife and the accountant and his wife to dinner in the evening. Aunt Gao had originally wanted to invite them to dinner in the evening, but Luo Qiao* opposed it.

Later, I thought it would not look good to leave the village chief’s house behind, so I invited him as well, and we all had a meal together.

Talking about the Zhao brothers at the dinner table, Gao Jiefang said: "They are role models for children in the village and the glory of the village."

Luo Qiao asked curiously, "Has their mother ever come back in all these years?"

Ding Caifeng, the accountant's wife, continued, "I heard that she came back, but she didn't come to see her two sons. I heard from her family that she gave birth to another son after her second marriage, and her life was okay."

The village chief's wife continued, "It's not that their mother didn't come to see them, it's that their in-laws stopped them from coming, saying that since they got married for the second time, they shouldn't contact them anymore, so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable when they meet."

Ding Caifeng sighed: "Isn't it because they are afraid that the two children will come to them for control, and they are afraid that their daughter will find them again if she continues to be a troublemaker."

Aunt Gao said at this time: "The things they did were so ruthless at the beginning, and now they are probably regretting it so much, just like the Sun family."

After saying this, he felt that he had spoken too quickly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Look at my mouth."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Shitou smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't mind it anymore."

The village head's wife glanced at Shitou and said, "Shitou, are you still in school?"

Shitou put down the cup in his hand: "I just graduated from college this year."

The village head's wife's eyes lit up and she became excited: "Have you assigned any work?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked over.

Shitou did not hide it: "I was assigned. I studied in a military academy and was assigned to a unit in Beijing."

Gao Jiefang and Sun Guichang knew about it before, so they were not too surprised. But the village chief was so excited that he said, "My goodness, he went to a military school."

Afterwards, everyone started asking about Shi Tou. When they found out that he was assigned as a deputy company-level officer, they kept congratulating him and were extremely envious.

I thought that if the Sun family knew about this, they would be so worried that they wouldn't be able to sleep.

The Sun family members they were talking about were now like eggplants hit by frost, and none of them could lift their spirits.
