As for Ji Ke going out to climb the mountain with the man, she did not intend to tell her family. Informing them was for Ji Ke's own good, but Ji Ke herself had lived in the city for many years, so how could she really be a white flower?

She really told her family about it, and Xu Fang was the first one to jump up and shout at her.

After school that day, Ji Ke came over and told Luo Li where he lived, "Sister, are you going over there? I'll accompany you."

"Let's go on the weekend." Ji Ke wanted to go, and Ji Ling didn't object.

Ji Ke agreed with a smile and left.

At the school gate, Zhu Yaowu and Zhu Heping were already in the car and talking. After Ji Ling got in the car, Zhu Heping took the initiative to ask Ji Ling what had delayed her.

"I just had a few words with Ji Ke." Ji Ling looked at the two of them, "Are you going out?"

Zhu Yaowu didn't say anything, but Zhu Heping was obviously dressed up.

Bell-bottom pants are popular now, and Zhu Heping wore a pair today.

The Zhu family elders let their children run freely, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to wear anything inappropriate or have their hair permed.

In their eyes, that is what young people in society wear.

Behind the scenes, Zhu Heping said that his family members were conservative in their thinking, but he only dared to say it behind their backs. If he were asked to say it to their faces, he would not have the courage to do so.

Zhu Heping's hair was sprayed with hairspray. After Ji Ling asked, he shook his bangs and said, "There's a dance tonight to welcome freshmen. Sister-in-law, come too."

Zhu Yaowu said bluntly, "Do whatever you want on your own, don't ask your sister-in-law to mess with you."

"Second brother, how can this be called nonsense? This is student life. My sister-in-law has suffered enough. She married our eldest brother and gave birth to a baby. Now she can't even enjoy a free life. How pitiful. Just imagine when she graduates from college and everyone gets together to reminisce about their college life, some say they were having a party together, some say they were having a dance together, and my sister-in-law says she is coaxing the child, then the atmosphere will be awkward." Zhu Heping spoke slowly and every word he said made sense.

Ji Ling nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Zhu Yaowu curled his lips and said, "Then go home and feed Niuniu first before coming back."

Ji Ling smiled, "That's true, but I still like to stay at home. I hate the noise when there are too many people around."

"Sister-in-law." Zhu Heping wailed.

Zhu Yaowu smiled.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and were still excited when they returned home.

Old Mrs. Zhu curiously asked what happened. After hearing the whole story, she also advised Ji Ling, "Students should enjoy their student life. The dance must be very lively. You should go and have a look. If you don't like it, don't come back."

"Grandma, it's nice to be at home with you guys." Ji Ling said with a smile, "I really don't like being around people. I'll just play with Niuniu at home and call Weidong, and today will be over."

"Okay, but you have to listen to grandma and don't force yourself. Do whatever you want. We all support me."

"I know, so I never tell lies to grandma."

In the evening, Zhu Yaowu and Zhu Heping left. Ji Ling was upstairs talking on the phone with Zhu Weidong, saying that Zhu Weidong was about to be transferred and time was very tight.

"There is a big project over there, which is very important to the country. This time you go there, you may not be able to return home for a short period of time. The home will be left to you." After knowing the matter, Zhu Weidong was thinking about how to talk to his wife.

Before getting married, he never thought these things were a big deal. It was only after getting married that he realized that he had ties and followed his work. Even though he didn't have to worry about his family, he had a wife and a woman, so he thought of his wife first before making any decision.

When Ji Ling heard that they were going to move to another place and didn't know when they would return, she felt a little upset, "Where are we going?"

“It should be the northwest.”

"Xiaoling, I'm sorry." Apart from apologizing, Zhu Weidong didn't know how to express his guilt in words.

"Why do you have to apologize? This is your job. I told you before not to do this again. Why didn't you remember it?"

"Okay, I won't tell you." Zhu Weidong eased the atmosphere and asked about his daughter.

Ji Ling, "Niuniu can blow bubbles now and find people. Every day when I come back, she won't look for anyone. Usually when I'm not at home, anyone can hold her, but when I come back, she cries when someone else holds her."

"I'm getting angry." Zhu Weidong laughed.

"Yes, she had a bad temper and could even yell. One day, when Yao Wu kissed her, she started crying loudly. Grandpa came out of the study, punished Yao Wu to stand against the wall, and then held Niuniu in his arms to show her. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she stopped crying." When Ji Ling said this, her eyes were filled with smiles.

Zhu Weidong was delighted to hear this, and his longing for his daughter became stronger. "I will go directly to the northwest this time, otherwise I will definitely take time to visit Niuniu."

There was regret in his tone.

Ji Ling said, "When Niuniu is older, I will bring her to see you."

"No, the weather over there is bad, and it would be difficult to treat Niu Niu if she gets sick." Zhu Weidong missed his daughter, but he would not allow anything to happen to her, even if there was the slightest possibility that something bad might happen.

"Okay, then I'll go see you, okay?"

"Tell me when you come over, and I'll tell you what to watch out for."

Hearing his obvious lack of confidence, Ji Ling snorted, "Now in your eyes, after having a daughter, have I taken a back seat?"

"In my heart, you both weigh the same."

Ji Ling didn't believe it.

Everything is fine at home. They talk about their daughter every day. Ji Ling also feels that she has a lot to say to Zhu Weidong. Besides, they won't be able to talk on the phone for a while starting tomorrow.

Hearing that someone from Zhu Weidong was urging her to make a phone call, Ji Ling hung up the phone reluctantly.

At breakfast the next day, Ji Ling told Zhu Weidong about his transfer.

The Zhu family was not surprised and after hearing what happened, they all comforted Ji Ling.

Ji Ling's mood had already improved after calming down for a night. Besides, she and Zhu Weidong had been living apart for a year during their marriage, and Zhu Weidong had also moved to two new places, so Ji Ling had long been accustomed to it.

On the way to school, Zhu Yaowu took the initiative to talk about the dance last night, "Sister-in-law, I saw Ji Ke with a man yesterday, and that man didn't look like a student."

"Is it the teacher?"

"Maybe. Otherwise, he can't come to this campus dance. Another possibility is that he is a family member, a student's family member or a teacher's family member."

When Ji Ling heard the family members' story, she couldn't help but think of Wu Jian, so she asked, "What does that person look like?"

"He looks gentle and good-looking. I'll take a closer look. He's very caring towards Ji Ke."

Zhu Yaowu's words were very obscure, but Ji Ling understood them.

This era is very conservative. If a man can be so blatantly nice to a woman, it means he is pursuing her or the two of them are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
