Qi Shufang listened and was a little embarrassed.

The opportunity to attend the prom was rare, and she didn't want to miss it, even if it didn't bring benefits to her career. The reason why she said this is because she learned that there are really many dance partners who dance with the chiefs, and there is no contact with other aspects, and the unlucky ones are still unlucky, and they are not an exception because they have danced with the chiefs, let alone help for the future.

However, she took ten days off and should go back tomorrow, otherwise she would not have had time to go to work.

There will be gains and losses, and refusal is absolutely impossible.

Qi Shufang called Director Zhang directly and asked for his opinion.

"It's okay to come back late!" Director Zhang blurted out this sentence, and found that he seemed to be too excited, so he quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "Comrade Shufang, in the past few days when you are away, your train has made a trip, and I specially asked, although the deputy conductor's management methods are not as good as yours, but the work is not bad, so you don't have to worry about work." Stay and participate in the ball, this is the task given to you by Elder Zheng, you must complete it seriously. Vacations don't have to be renewed, you're here to complete tasks, not vacations. I'll give you an explanation, so don't worry about staying in the capital. ”

"It really doesn't matter?" Qi Shufang suddenly understood how honorable it was to participate in the ball.

Director Zhang shook his head vigorously: "It's okay, it's okay." You, you must be cautious, you must keep to yourself, only those who do not cause trouble will be likable, and do not have any requirements for the leaders. ”

Qi Shufang smiled: "Don't worry, I understand, I'm just a dance partner, just going to dance, and nothing else." ”

"Yes, that's right. Director Zhang was relieved.

"I didn't go back as scheduled, please tell my lieutenant that she must take care of the train on my behalf. ”

"Okay, I'll tell her personally. ”

Having a phone is convenient, after hanging up the phone, Qi Shufang called He Jianguo's unit again, and explained to him the reason why he didn't go back, although He Jianguo was very depressed, but he also knew that the opportunity was rare, when Qi Shufang promised to go home immediately after participating in this dance, the resentment in his heart was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

Extending the time spent in the capital, the happiest person is Mu Xuexun.

"Since there is no time limit, Sister Shufang, you just stay for a few more days, and then go back after the New Year. ”

"That's not good, my wife is still waiting at home. I told Mr. Zheng that I would attend this week's ball, and I wouldn't be able to attend next week, so I had to go home. "No matter how good the opportunity is, it is better to celebrate the New Year with my husband.

Mu Xuexun was greatly disappointed.

Xue Feng fed seven catties and drank milk powder, and said without raising his head: "Just stop in moderation, Xue Xun." If it weren't for Zheng Lao's sudden speech, it would be enough for Shufang to show her face at a dance. ”

Mu Xue thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she didn't bother anymore.

One is born, and the second is ripe.

Qi Shufang walked into the dance again, and there was no trace of crampedness that she deliberately disguised last week.

She is married, doesn't talk much, doesn't have much to do, advances and retreats in moderation, neither flattery, nor promises, and is not like some people who seize the opportunity to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and there is the face of Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Mu in it, there may be some temporary female dance partners who don't like her, but several ladies have released kindness to her.

It is mainly due to the fact that most of the wives are from poor backgrounds, and they are dedicated to contributing to the country, and they have no family opinions.

This is a pure era.

Qi Shufang is very honest, she came here, she just danced, she couldn't let go, and she couldn't have fun, and occasionally answered a few words from the old chiefs, which didn't involve any current problems.

Actually, she tried her best to hold back her laughter when she danced, really.

Except for a few beauties, including her and Xue Feng, whose dancing postures are quite beautiful, no, they are beautiful and limited, and everyone's dancing postures are really not good-looking. First, everyone is wearing gray clothes, either blue or gray, and the winter clothes are even more bloated, without exception, there are many patches; second, the old people are a little sluggish, of course, the dancing is not vigorous and dexterous; finally, some temporary female dance partners are little girls selected from the art troupe, who are very young and have not grown up.

That picture......

Burst...... I want to laugh, no, I have to hold back, I have to hold back.

Because her son was in the arms of Mrs. Zheng and was fed by several ladies, Qi Shufang let go of her mental power, enveloping the entire dance hall, and paying attention to her son all the time, so everything was in her mind.

Probably, the most beautiful pair of dance partners are Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng.

Mu Qingyun is a little older, but when she is forty years old, she is elegant and graceful, while Xue Feng is tall and beautiful, and her gray-blue clothes can't hide her brilliance.

It took more than ten years to achieve a positive result, Mu Qingyun monopolized Xue Feng and invited Xue Feng to dance before anyone else, which was admirable.

Xue Feng raised his eyes, "Why didn't I know you were so virtuous before, be careful to go back to your father and talk about you." ”

She was talking about Mu Lao.

The chiefs are all old, and there is really no taboo to dance with them, many people can't ask for this opportunity, even if the chief may not recognize himself afterwards, but it is also a glory to dance with the chief. When Xue Feng was spinning with Mu Qingyun, his eyes skimmed at Qi Shufang's dancing posture and put down the stone in his heart.

Mu Qingyun's face was still full of smiles: "There are so many things you don't know. ”

Xue Feng pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I remember that your eldest nephew is over there in Gupeng City, right? You also have a lot of friends there, so be careful not to ask someone to stumble on my sister. ”

"A soldier, a politician, Shaowen is young, childish, how can he help? I think Xiaomei is not a weak person, she has courage, scheming and ability, don't you know that she is born with divine power? It is very rare. If it weren't for the fact that the younger sister got married earlier and was conscripted into the army, she must have been the most outstanding female soldier. Mu Qingyun looked pity, being a train captain seemed a bit condescending.

"Don't, it's not necessarily good to be in the army, let's let her go to work honestly. ”

Mu Qingyun nodded, in fact, this is quite good, in his opinion, he can come and go without causing trouble to Xue Feng, when he helped He Jianguo because Qi Shufang saved Mu Xuexun, he really didn't expect that the two families would have such a relationship.

Qi Shufang's first dance partner today was Zhang Lao, and asked her where she was from with a smile.

Qi Shufang replied truthfully, and Zhang Lao smiled: "Ouch, that's a battleground for soldiers." The last time I went was more than 20 years ago, and I don't know if the situation has improved. ”

"It's improved, since the leader spoke, everyone has been actively planting trees and no longer cutting and logging. ”

The acres of mountains and forests are collectively owned, and private individuals dare not go.

Zhang Lao said: "It's good, you should do this, and you must abide by the leader's advice." ”

"Yes, everybody complied. ”

Zhang Lao asked her what she did again, and Qi Shufang also answered.

The topic does not involve political affairs, that is, to talk about some interesting things in work and life, Qi Shufang is not a clumsy person, once she uses her thoughts, it is called a funny thing when she speaks. Eventually, however, she chose to talk about the incidents she encountered at work, especially the trafficker case.

"Kill!" Zhang Lao was not very good-tempered, and two words popped out of his mouth, "The evil old society has been defeated, and the evil flower shooter still exists, which shows that there is still negligence in all aspects of work." ”

Regarding this, Qi Shufang was silent.

Zhang Lao complained indignantly, and asked if the children had been sent home.

"The two children I met on the train have found their parents, but it is difficult to find their families in the old age, and now the news is too closed, and time has passed for a long time. In fact, this kind of behavior, even if it is used in duplicate, is difficult to eliminate. Sometimes I think it's very strange, why no one reports the people around me who buy and sell women and children? Why don't the local cadres find out? Doesn't the women and children they buy need to be registered?" Qi Shufang was puzzled.

Isn't it obvious whether it is a child born by oneself or an adopted child? Although some of them are indeed adopted in good faith, most of them are not? In the final analysis, there are still people who don't want to meddle in things, and some people cover up, right?

If those who harbor and sell women and children can also be convicted, will it be possible for many trafficked children to return home?

Qi Shufang's question, even if it is Zhang Lao, has no way to answer.

What Qi Shufang hates most is human traffickers and buyers who buy abducted women and children, who have plunged countless families into the abyss of pain, and who have made countless women and children unable to see the dawn of hope.

However, the state can't do it, so what can she do?

After talking for a while, after a dance, Qi Shufang took Zhang Lao, who was slightly panting, to rest, took the tea brewed by the guards around Zhang Lao and sent it to Zhang Lao, and softly told Zhang Lao to drink it later. Zhang Lao held the teacup and instructed the guards to pour Qi Shufang a cup of tea as well, sweating and being thirsty when dancing.

Qi Shufang thanked her.

Xue Feng walked over and said with a smile: "Little sister, give me a drink." ”

Qi Shufang pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not my tea, I can't be the master, you ask the owner of the tea yourself, will it be given to you." ”

"I didn't pay attention last time, but when I saw you today, you really deserve to be sisters, you look alike, and your mouth is as powerful. Xiao Yang, pour Xiao Xue a cup of tea, don't stare at her sister. Zhang Lao smiled from ear to ear.

Xue Feng hurriedly thanked him, and squatted in front of Zhang Lao, and the words of compliments were like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.

Zhang Lao stretched out his hand and patted her.

Xue Feng didn't care, and happily accompanied the old man to laugh.

Zhang Lao rested for a while and drank tea, and when he saw Mu Qingyun helping Mu Lao over, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Xue just came to me to say a few words, and you two came over, you don't want to talk to us, right?"

"What are you talking about, how can it be. ”

After Mu Lao finished speaking, Zhang Lao pointed to Qi Shufang and said to Mu Qingyun: "I heard your sister-in-law say that it was you and Xiao Xue who exposed the false confession of Wang Cheng and his wife, since this is the case, I will not bother the two masters." You don't have a comrade-in-arms in the office. Quiet. Ministry: You can tell him about this another day, and you must put an end to this phenomenon. Well, it should be explained that the production brigades of the communes of all provinces, cities and counties supervise each other, and encourage everyone to actively report women and children of unknown origin, even if they rescue one person, it is better than inaction. ”

Without waiting for Mu Qingyun to speak, Mu Lao said: "It should be so, buying and selling is the same crime!"

Thinking that the delicate granddaughter has not completely come out of the haze until now, she is over twenty years old, someone introduced her to a partner, and the family did not dare to rashly agree, Mu Lao hated all evil traffickers to death.

Xue Feng didn't dare to praise Zhang Lao's wisdom and martial arts, but said exaggeratedly: "You are so good, I don't know how many people are grateful to you!"

Qi Shufang agreed beside her, "Sister is right, your old idea is really good, but you have to prevent everyone from supervising each other, and indiscriminately fabricating charges for personal vendetta and adding trouble to the police station." ”

Zhang Lao smiled: "I only speak, and how to operate it is the responsibility of the police station." ”

The two sisters stood side by side, almost dressed up, with similar figures and appearances, looking at them coldly, they really looked like a pair of twins, and if you looked closely, you would find the difference between the two people.

Qi Shufang is more dignified and easy to gain the favor of women, and when the dance was about to end, someone asked her if she would come next week.

Qi Shufang hugged Qijin, who was sleeping and drooling constantly, and replied apologetically: "Rest tomorrow, and I'm going to take the car home the day after tomorrow, but I can't come." ”

"Ah, that's a shame, you dance beautifully. ”

Qi Shufang smiled.

It's been three years since she crossed over, and when she came to the capital, she was lucky enough to get this opportunity to dance, which shows how strong the binding force of society is on the people, and this is the only country in the world where you can't wear skirts, and you are not even allowed to wear jewelry, and it will take a long time to completely liberate people's nature.

An old lady with excellent charm asked Qi Shufang, "I heard that your accent is a little familiar, where are you?"

"The city of Gupeng. Seeing that it was Mrs. Liu introduced by Xue Feng, Qi Shufang replied.

This Mrs. Liu is the current wife of Liu Lao, about sixty years old, her face is like a full moon, her skin is fair, most of her hair is still black and bright, she is holding a round bun, and her demeanor is extremely elegant, which is obviously different from some old ladies. Some old ladies can obviously see that they are from poor backgrounds, have a simple temperament, and do not suddenly become noble because of their husband's high position, just like Mrs. Zheng, but Mrs. Liu is not, she is very elegant, and her speech is very gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Oh, I seem to remember Xiao Xue saying that you work at the Railway Bureau?"

Hearing Qi Shufang's answer, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year, please bring me something for Ah Ying when you go back." She's your colleague, Li Ying, you should know her, right?"

"You're talking about Director Li, right? Hearing her mention Li Ying, Qi Shufang was slightly surprised in her heart.

She remembered that Xue Feng mentioned that Mrs. Liu was a powerful person, and Li Ying didn't come back, so Li Ying was smart.

Now when it comes to mentioning Li Ying in front of everyone, what is the situation?

Mrs. Liu didn't know what Qi Shufang was thinking, she smiled slightly: "It's good that you know her." Lao Liu went to another place, he was not at home, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for the New Year, and he may not pass by you to see Ah Ying, so I will do what I need to do for him. ”

As a stepmother, Mrs. Liu doesn't hate Li Ying, because Li Ying is smart enough to understand current affairs, and now Liu Lao's children are all born by herself, Li Ying doesn't come back to hinder her eyes, there is nothing that can't tolerate her, she is happy to establish a good stepmother image, anyway, the flowers are Liu Lao's, not her own.

If Li Ying resents, she should resentfully her biological parents the most, not herself.

When Mrs. Liu married Liu Lao, she didn't know that he had a wife and children, if she knew, she would never practice herself, she was the daughter of a big family, not to the point of desperation, how could she commit to a widower?

At the beginning, the introducer said that he had no wife and no children.

In fact, it was a widower, and Mrs. Liu didn't want to marry, she was only 20 years old, and she had a flower, so why couldn't she marry a first-time marriage? But at that time, there was no way, her mother's family was in decline, and the people who hated the rich did not know how many, and she was willing to give all her life, and she had to marry Liu Lao, and the organization arranged for her to marry Liu Lao, and she had to marry, and one thing that was more fortunate was that Liu Lao was not an old man of fifty or sixty years old. Some daughters have a hard life, and when they are less than twenty years old, they are arranged to marry a sixty-year-old man, and now they are fighting for their lives.

After giving birth to two children after marriage, and life settled down, Liu Lao's ex-wife suddenly came to the door, and Mrs. Liu learned the truth that it was Liu Lao who unilaterally dissolved the marriage, but it was too late at that time.

For the sake of the child, she couldn't back down, not to mention that the sin was not on her, so the former Mrs. Liu left gloomily and died depressed.

Mrs. Liu looks down on Liu Lao, is unjust to his wife, unkind to her children, she also looks down on Liu Lao's ex-wife, and fosters her newborn daughter in someone else's home, such a woman is not worthy of the title of mother at all. Relatives still can't be fully trusted, let alone outsiders? Do you really think that a few dozen oceans can find a good adoptive father and adoptive mother for your daughter?

At that time, the situation was critical, so couldn't I let my husband go first, and temporarily stay to take care of the child and wait for the child to be older before chasing after him? I had to leave the child and follow first, because I didn't recuperate well after giving birth, and I also caused myself to fall ill later.

Li Ying was sold, and Liu Lao's ex-wife needs to bear the greatest responsibility.

Li Ying's younger siblings of the same father and mother died young, and some died of illness when they became adults, all of which were because she did not fulfill her mother's responsibilities, she was not in good health, and she was desperate to give birth to children.

Fortunately, Li Ying was lucky, she didn't die after going to so many families, how many people couldn't even support their own children, the Li family raised her for her to go to school and study, although there were reasons for this, but the favor to Li Ying was much stronger than her biological parents, and her biological parents didn't even raise her for a day, and Liu Lao had a fart to make up for her afterwards!

For the sake of Liu Lao who has been defending himself all these years, the resentment in Mrs. Liu's heart has gradually disappeared, anyway, when she reaches this age, there is nothing to complain about, as long as no one harms the interests of her children, she can be tolerant.

She came from a good background, so she became guilty.

Liu Lao was born in poverty, and retired early and did not hold important positions, although the family suffered some wind and rain, in the end it was safe and sound, even so, several children also responded to the call and went to the mountains and countryside.

Because she didn't hate Li Ying, Mrs. Liu prepared a lot of things for her to Qi Shufang to take back.

Qi Shufang was almost dizzy, her luggage was enough, and she bought a lot of special things in the capital, just a few pieces of jade rough took up a lot of space, and now there are more things that Mrs. Liu gave to Li Ying, and she took Mu Lao's car to the train station, and the car was almost full, and it was still because of her relationship with the railway employees that she took care of the consignment.

He Jianguo came to pick her up and Qijin, and when he saw so many things, he was immediately startled, and finally transported home.

Qi Shufang took a breath and took out Li Ying's things for him to send, she was too tired to do it.

He Jianguo sent something back, and Qi Shufang slept soundly with seven catties in her arms.

Qi Shufang's cheeks were rosy and beautiful like flowers, while Qijin's mouth was drooling.

Tucked the corners of the quilt for the two of them, He Jianguo stewed the mutton that had been prepared a long time ago, put some radish and ginger slices after boiling, and at the same time packed up the messy luggage, sorted it out, and put it where it should be, when he saw a few pieces of jade rough, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and stuffed it under the bed.

"What are you laughing at?" Qi Shufang rubbed her eyes and got up.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Just rest, it's getting dark, and if you go to sleep, you won't be able to sleep at night. Qi Shufang got out of bed and maliciously woke up Qijin, it's okay for adults to not be able to sleep at night, children can't sleep, and it's adults who are unlucky.

Seven catties puffed up and cried.

"Seven catties, come and drink mutton soup with Dad!"

I haven't seen He Jianguo for more than half a month, and I can't recognize him for seven catties, so I kick my legs indiscriminately, and I don't want to follow him.

"I'll pick him up, and you go and serve the meal. ”

Qi Shufang hugged Qijin and smelled the familiar smell, and Qijin really stopped crying. As a result, when He Jianguo came over to feed him with fragrant mutton soup, he opened his mouth wide without shame. After taking a sip, seeing that He Jianguo scooped a spoonful of mutton soup and never delivered it to his mouth, he stared angrily: "Rice!" reached out and grabbed it.

He Jianguo blew, bypassed his little paws, and fed it to his mouth.

Qi Shufang drank the soup, "Director Li accepted the things?"

"I took it. Although his face was not very good-looking, Li Ying did not refuse, and asked him to thank Qi Shufang after going home, He Jianguo shook his head, I really don't know these people, what are the things? Isn't it good to live a good life? It has to be so complicated, those who give things may not be happy, and those who receive things may not be willing.

"Hmm. Qi Shufang then talked about what she saw and heard in the capital.

After eating, when he was about to rest, He Jianguo suddenly said, "Shufang, you teach me to dance." ”

"Huh?"

"In our own homes, we dance secretly so that no one else can see us. ”

Qi Shufang pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, we have a radio at home, just enough to play music, make do with it." "The music on the radio is certainly not ballroom dance, it's better than nothing.

He Jianguo has a great talent for dancing, Qi Shufang taught him once, and he would be able to control the audience.

Light Song and Man Dance...... No, where is there a light song, where is there a man dance, it is clearly a sonorous and powerful red song, the simplest ballroom dance, because the problem of rhythm cannot reach the level it should be.

However, Qi Shufang had a thick smile on her face, her face leaned on He Jianguo's chest, and she suddenly felt that the two of them must have the demeanor of Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng, this is a ballroom dance that complements each other, the male is strong, the female is graceful, and the combination of rigidity and softness. Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng are a painting in their own eyes, are they also a painting in the eyes of others?

In the bedroom, he was dancing, the music was playing, Qijin was standing in the cradle, holding the edge with his hands, and his feet were jumping alternately with the music, "Mom...... Mommy ......"

The beauty of the room was interrupted by him, and the two looked at each other helplessly, stopping to take care of the small one first.

"What a scenic. ”

Qijin can now say several words word by word, especially the word "rice" is the clearest and loudest, that is, he can't call Dad, which makes He Jianguo depressed. Qi Shufang felt that Qijin was deliberate, because Qijin had called his father in his sleep, which was very clear, but as soon as he saw He Jianguo, he closed his mouth and only called his mother and Fanfan.

When Qijin chased after He Jianguo and asked his father to serve him a meal while running, or when He Jianguo chased after him to wash his face and feed him, the year was already coming to an end.

The two-year-old seven-pound is so naughty that he doesn't like to wash his face, and he has to chase him all over the house for feeding.

"He Qijin, you stop for me, if you don't wash your face, you will become a dirty child!" Qi Shufang walked towards Qijin with a towel soaked in warm water, and Qijin wearing a cotton jacket and cotton pants was like a meat ball, running out with little short legs.

He Jianguo stretched out his arm and stopped him from picking him up.

Qi Shufang wiped his face with a wet towel, obviously his movements were very gentle, he turned his head about seven pounds, and finally he still didn't dodge, his little face was covered by the towel, he cried loudly, with a handful of tears on his face, a handful of snot, his little heart was hurt, and the crying was very loud, with a "poof", a bubble came out of his nostrils.

Qi Shufang sneered.

Seven pounds was not happy, and the bubble quickly burst.

After scrubbing his face, behind his ears and neck, Qi Shufang picked out some alabaster and applied it to him, "Sperm incense!"

Qijin shook his little head, waited for a while, and finally didn't have to be tortured anymore, quickly slid off He Jianguo's body, and ran to play on his own, but unfortunately he didn't run far before he was caught back by the couple to feed him.

Both of them are resting today, and the door is open.

The crushed salt at home was almost eaten, and He Jianguo poured the newly bought coarse salt into the nest at the door and crushed it carefully. When Qi Shufang returned to her hometown, she found a big stone from the mountain, and then took a hammer and chisel to beat it out by herself, together with a stone pestle with a wooden handle, and usually placed it at the door, which is convenient for the neighbors to use, pounding coarse salt and chili powder......

Qi Shufang leaned against the door and looked at him, while taking care of the seven catties running around.

Ye Cuicui came out from next door, carrying a bamboo basket, standing on her feet with seven catties, and shouted, "Auntie, where are you going?"

"Yo, seven pounds, I'll go to the store. ”

"Oh, go to the store, no book! I don't have a book! No book, no rice!" Qijin didn't know where he learned it, and his big eyes flashed, "Auntie, you go to the store, you don't need to buy me something delicious." ”

Ye Cuicui was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she suddenly laughed breathlessly.

"Shufang, listen to what your son says!"

Why did Qijin come up with this sentence, Ye Cuicui is very clear, because Qi Shufang is popular, so most relatives and friends rarely come to visit empty-handed, or give Qijin two eggs, or buy two pieces of candy, even if they come empty-handed, they will go to the non-staple food store to buy cookies and candy with Qijin, and they will get used to Qijin after coming and going. Originally, Ye Cuicui was not generous enough to buy delicious things for Qijin, and her son couldn't eat it, but Qijin said this, if she didn't buy it, it would be very ugly.

Qi Shufang felt that her face was dull, and she crossed her waist with one hand, "He Qijin, my aunt didn't plan to buy you something delicious!

After speaking, he apologized to Ye Cuicui: "Sister Ye, don't take it to heart." ”

Ye Cuicui waved her hand: "Look at you in a hurry, why am I angry? My family is short of money this month, and I really don't have the money to buy a piece of candy for seven catties." Your family's seven catties are really clever, and now you know how old you are to talk back and provoke others to buy him delicious food. You don't know, the last time you went to work and wasn't at home, Jianguo took him, someone came to visit, seven catties were so diligent, I took delicious food to that person, I opened my mouth to ask him for it, he immediately held it in his arms, shook his head vigorously and said no. ”

Ye Cuicui had never seen such an alert child.

Don't look at the seven pounds small, but he speaks very clearly and fluently, and most of the adults speak, he can understand most of them.

Qijin pedaled and ran to Qijin's side, holding her legs with both hands, burying his face between her calves, and then secretly raised it to glance at Ye Cuicui, humming and chirping for a while.

Ye Cuicui laughed for a while, and when she saw someone coming to look for He Jianguo, she went to the store with a basket.

The person who came was a young man, with a board inch, wearing a military uniform, and saluted the two, "I'm Zhou Lingyun." ”

"Zhou Lingyun, are you back?"

Qi Shufang and He Jianguo's expressions were awe-inspiring, Qi Shufang put down his crossed hand, He Jianguo stood up, and the couple saw the young man's red and swollen eyes, and fell to the ground with a plop, hoarsely throating, "When did my father die? Why didn't you write to inform me? It wasn't until I came back today that I learned from my neighbors that it had been a year since my grandfather died." ”

He Jianguo sighed, held seven catties in one hand, and then asked him to go to the hall to speak.

Qi Shufang mashed the salt in the nest and put it into the salt jar, and when she entered the hall, Zhou Lingyun knelt on the tin box and cried bitterly.

He cried for a long time, and Qijin sat on He Jianguo's lap and stared at him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Comrade Zhou Lingyun, don't cry. Qi Shufang handed him a clean public handkerchief, "If Lao Zhou is here, I definitely don't want you to be so sad." ”

Zhou Lingyun wiped his tears and didn't get up, "Thank you two comrades for letting my master settle down." ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily twice.

He Jianguo hurriedly handed over the seven catties to Qi Shufang's arms and pulled him up, "You can't say that, you don't have to kowtow to us, this is what we should do, veterans are all worthy of respect." In the box is the things that Lao Zhou entrusted us to hand over to you, you can open it and see it clearly, in addition, there are some things to tell you. ”

You say. ”

After He Jianguozi finished speaking carefully, in addition to Lao Zhou's last words, there was also the Zhou family affairs that Qi Shufang knew from Mu Xuexun, Zhou Lingyun sneered: "Is this the case? If it weren't for knowing that my father left me a message, I really thought he had a hard time." He abandoned his wife back then, and now he comes to recognize me because he has a daughter and no son, and he still lied to me, which is really hateful!"

"What do you mean?" He Jianguo and Qi Shufang asked in unison.

Zhou Lingyun said: "Zhou Shishao came to me, half a month ago. He told me that he and my grandmother had been separated during the Anti-Japanese War and had to marry a revolutionary partner, and that he had been searching for decades to find us, but my grandmother and father had both died, leaving me alone. ”
