Chen Gang, who was being scolded by his family, was currently in his room discussing things with He Hua.
"You're only a little over a month pregnant, can you handle such a long journey?"
"Brother Chen Gang, I've stopped throwing up and I can ride in the car now."
"But what if? Then I'll still have to take care of you."
Looking at He Hua in front of him, Chen Gang immediately hesitated when he thought about how many buses he would have to take to get to Guangdong Province.
Even if he goes home, he's not favored there anyway.
"Brother Chen Gang, isn't it your duty to take care of me? I'm carrying your son."
What's wrong with going back to Guangdong? You can eat and drink to your heart's content at home and don't have to do any work.
Besides, that bitch Su Tian went back.
"What did you say? She went back?" Chen Gang looked at He Hua in disbelief.
"Yes, she's probably in Guangdong Province now; she's been gone for several days."
I called you but you wouldn't come back, you kept dragging your feet.
"Alright, let's go back then. Pack your things, we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
He Hua happily opened the suitcase, ready to pack all the clothes she wanted to wear.
"Hey, Brother Chen Gang, why is there an old man's jacket in our box?"
Oh no, this is bad.
Chen Gang had no choice but to lie and say, "I found this piece of clothing on the mountain. It looked so good, with no tatters at all, so I brought it back."
"Do I need to bring it with me?"
"No need, just put it in the box."
At that moment, Accountant Zou was looking for his coat in his room. The weather was getting colder and he wanted to wear something thicker.
"Old woman, where is my thick blue coat?"
"Isn't it in the box? I just took it out to air it last month."
"Which box? I've looked in both boxes, but it's not here."
Accountant Zou was puzzled. Could the clothes really be hidden?
"Let me look for it. You didn't look carefully enough."
As she searched, Zou's mother muttered to herself, "Huh, how could it not be here? I clearly put it here."
"No need to look anymore, I have no idea where I lost it. It's such a pity, that coat of mine was so warm."
"Could it be that the boss took it?"
"No way, why would he take my clothes? He wouldn't wear them, would he? Would he keep them as family heirlooms?" Accountant Zou waved his hand, not believing that the eldest brother had taken them.
"That's strange, a piece of clothing just went missing from the house for no reason."
Zou Daying had just come out of the room when he saw his parents searching for something inside.
So, out of curiosity, I asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you looking for?"
"You've come at the right time. Have you seen your dad's thick blue coat?"
Zou Daying looked at her mother and quickly asked, "I haven't seen you before. Were you stolen while you were drying your clothes outside?"
"They're drying in the yard, who would dare open the door to steal them?"
"Alright, if he's gone, he's gone. Old woman, let's cook."
Fortunately, she managed to fool them, and Zou Daying breathed a sigh of relief.
This outfit isn't just for her dad. If her parents find out that Chen Gang is wearing it, they probably won't dare to go up and take his clothes off.
At that moment, Chen Gang was about to go out to find the brigade leader to get a letter of introduction for visiting relatives.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, a cold wind howled, and the southern wind felt like a knife cutting my face.
Chen Gang shivered from the cold and quickly retreated back into his room, closing the door behind him.
It's too cold to go out in this weather. There was no wind at all this morning, and it wasn't this cold either. Why does it get so cold in the afternoon that I don't dare to go out?
He walked to the box and hesitated for a long time. He would be cold if he didn't wear it, but he was afraid that Accountant Zou would recognize him if he did.
Finally, Chen Gang decided to put on his coat. He wrapped his thick blue coat tightly around himself and walked quickly toward the brigade leader's house.
Chen Gang arrived at the brigade leader's house and saw that the door was not closed, so he went straight in.
"Captain..."
"who?"
"It was me, Chen, the educated youth."
When the captain saw Chen Gang dressed so familiarly, he was taken aback. Why did his clothes look so familiar?
"Captain, I've come to ask you for a letter of introduction."
"You're going back too, right? Are you going with He Zhiqing?"
"yes."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The captain went into his room, wrote and stamped the letter of introduction, and handed it to him.
"Okay, you can take it now."
"Okay, thanks, Captain."
Chen Gang took the letter of introduction, thanked them, and left.
The team leader's wife came out of the kitchen. "Huh, I thought it was Accountant Zou? Why is it Chen, the educated youth?"
"I almost thought that only Accountant Zou had that coat that Chen was wearing. I didn't expect that he also had an old man's coat."
"It's not normal for someone from the city to have a coat like that."
"You're right."
Chen Gang put the letter of introduction in his pocket and left the brigade leader's house.
At the corner, Chen Gang encountered Accountant Zou, who was looking for the team leader. As soon as Chen Gang saw Accountant Zou, he took off running.
"Hey, who's that? Why is he running so fast? And that shirt looks like his?"
"You little thief, how dare you steal his clothes!"
Accountant Zou hurriedly chased after him. Although he was old, he always worked in the fields and was very agile, so he could run very fast.
Although Chen Gang was young, he would often slack off at work.
Add to that the constant anxiety; if you're not careful, you might trip over your feet and fall to the ground.
"I'll let you run, you little thief."
Accountant Zou ran breathlessly to Chen Gang, squatted down, and lifted Chen Gang's head from the ground.
"What, it's you, you unlucky thing? Tell me, where did you get these clothes?"
Don't tell me you brought these clothes to the countryside; they were sent to me by my eldest son from Shanghai.
And my name is embroidered inside. You might not believe me, but you can see for yourself.
As Chen Gang watched Accountant Zou speak with such conviction, he truly hated himself for having such bad luck today.
I should have known better than to wear this; wearing it made me look like a thief.
"Accountant Zou, it's too cold, I'm in a hurry to get back to the educated youth settlement for dinner."
I didn't steal these clothes; Da Ying lent them to me. You can go back and ask her if you don't believe me.
She's beautiful and kind-hearted. Seeing that I had no clothes to wear and was freezing like a dog, she brought me some clothes from home.
"Hmph, you are indeed as cunning as a dog, not as cold as a dog."
I'm telling you, if you don't have clothes to wear, ask your parents to buy them for you, instead of tricking my daughter into secretly taking my clothes.
You're such a cunning person! My Yingzi is so naive, she was fooled by you. Let me tell you, stay away from her from now on.
"Okay, I understand. I'll stay a hundred and eight thousand miles away from her." Chen Gang replied hastily, startled.
"Stop talking nonsense and take your clothes off."
Chen Gang quickly stood up and took off his clothes, but they were snatched away by Accountant Zou as soon as he finished.
Accountant Zou put the clothes on immediately after receiving them; they were very warm.
He glanced at Chen Gang, then snorted and walked away with his hands in his pockets.
Chen Gang, however, gritted his teeth from the cold again, hunched his neck and body, and moved shakily toward the educated youth settlement, braving the cold wind.
