In the capital in late autumn, the weather has begun to get cold. When the wind blows, sand flies into your mouth without even noticing. The streets and alleys are full of Beijing flavor, this will be the rush hour after work, the crowd is surging, after the crowd of people who get off work disperses, the people who meet by chance chat a few words are also in a hurry to say goodbye, the bicycles are also in a hurry to go home, everyone is busy going back to prepare dinner, and there are children at home to pick up the children.

Approaching the main road, some of the pedestrians passing by were wearing factory uniforms, some were wearing unit uniforms, and more were wearing patched coats and padded jackets, walking briskly around their hands, and smiling and greeting acquaintances from time to time. In this crowd, there are two men and women wearing military uniforms are particularly conspicuous, not only they are pushing two bright bicycles, but also the man is handsome, the woman is pretty, and the two of them stand together and walk like a landscape.

When the couple walked away, they could vaguely hear the woman complaining, "You said that Mom is true." Let people pass on the words and not make it clear. Isn't it my dad coming back today? Why do you want us all to go back? ”

The man comforted her, "Don't worry, I guess it's to see if the eldest sister's child has something to say." Aren't you curious? We haven't seen your niece, and we don't know what it's like to stay in the countryside for so long? ”

"What's the matter, that's her family, she belongs to the Zhou family. Her family can't spoil her yet. I'm optimistic, my eldest sister alone gives a lot of money every month, and she can't be a little princess. ”

"Hehe, I don't think so, the countryside is patriarchal, who knows. Something must have happened, let's hurry up, sister-in-law and they are estimated to have arrived. ”

The couple followed the crowd towards the compound of the military region, "There are so many people, I didn't ride a bicycle if I knew it." Did you bring your pass? ”

This couple, the woman is Zhou Jiao's sister-in-law Lin Liying and her husband Li Jianjun. At noon, I received a message from the old lady at home, asking me to go back today. Now the couple left their children at home and hurried over.

At the gate of the compound of the military region, some soldiers at the sentry post were guarding with wooden warehouses, patrolling from time to time, and some soldiers were keeping an eye on the people entering and leaving.

After Lin Liying showed her pass, the couple pushed the cart and rode to the innermost. It coincided with the end of work, and there were many soldiers and their families on the road.

The interior of the compound covers a wide area, and the living facilities inside are complete, and you can see the service cooperative, the health team, and the large nursery school, primary and secondary schools on the next wall, not to mention the cinema, swimming pool and other entertainment facilities inside the compound. You don't have to go out to live in the compound, it's more convenient than outside.

"Liying is back, your dad just got home. I'm here to see the old guy, so I'm going to take you in. On the way, the old man saw them and smiled and told them to go in quickly.

Lin Liying stopped and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, you didn't go to the dry rest house to play chess today?" My dad came back and happened to sit at my house. ”

The old man waved his hand, "Forget it today." Old man Lin has just come back, let him rest for the night first, and look for him tomorrow. Then he saw him go home.

Lin Liying and her husband pushed the car and turned a corner - in front of them were more than a dozen small courtyards that were scattered and chic. The Lin family is in the middle. In the yard, Mrs. Lin didn't plant vegetables like others, only there were two flower beds in the corner, which should be unattended, and the flowers and plants in them also withered.

The whole courtyard is not big, it is the traditional courtyard house. Now the main house lives with Mr. Lin and his wife, and the two sisters Lin Lishan have their own rooms in the right wing of the main house. The three rooms in the east wing house are occupied by the eldest son Lin Aiguo, his wife Chen Jingru and two children. The west wing is the room where the second family in the northwest returns to the capital.

"Haha, this is definitely a telegram from Xiao Wu. The child was afraid that his mother-in-law would not be picked up. The family is very welcoming and simple, the family style is very good, and it is famous in the local area. This time, I guess I prepared a lot of things for Shanshan to bring back. ”

In the living room, Old Man Lin laughed. Lin Liying and her husband looked at each other and smiled, and entered the living room, only to see that everyone who could go home had returned, and everyone gathered to listen to the old man.

"Dad, you're back. The eldest sister will be home tomorrow, why don't you wait another day to come back together? Lin Liying looked at him curiously and asked.

Old Man Lin beckoned Li Jianjun to sit down, and said to her, "I am on a mission and I am not good at postponing time." She didn't say she was back a day. I guess it's good to see Jiaojiao, so I'm relieved to come back to see your brother-in-law. ”

Lin Liying shouted loudly: "What? My brother-in-law? Who is it? ”

Old Man Lin didn't get angry when he saw her lose his temper, he looked at his wife with a smile, "I can say it, I know everything I should know now." Even our Jiaojiao couple guessed that her dad was still alive and was about to come back. ”

Old Madam Lin looked at him in surprise, a little incredulous. Seeing that the old man still nodded at her, she woke up and asked him, "Are you saying that Zhou Jiao and his family had already guessed that Zhou Xiaozheng was still alive?" Did Zhou Xiaozheng secretly see her? Or did Zhou Xiaozheng secretly ask someone to see her? No way. We Shanshan are going crazy to find him like this, and if there is a chance, Zhou Xiaozheng can hint at Shanshan. ”

Old Man Lin sighed and said with a calm face: "It's a long story, that kid has suffered a lot of grievances. Hey, let's not talk about it. She knew that Zhou Xiaozheng was alive for a few days, that is, she guessed it some time ago. That kid is like Zhou Xiaozheng, very good, not an ordinary person. None of our families can compare. ”

Lin Liying looked at her sister-in-law, and when she saw their faces, she also knew that they had already received the news that Zhou Xiaozheng was still alive. What about her eldest brother, Lin Liying cautiously tested, "Sister-in-law, is my eldest brother still alive?" ”

Chen Jingru nodded at her, "Alive, both of them are alive, and the others don't know." He said he would be able to go home at the end of the month. Before, it was a request for secrecy, but now it should not be necessary. But be careful not to say it out there. After speaking, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he was relieved to see his daughter with her head down.

Lin Liying said to the old man: "Dad, tell everyone, how are you going?" How is the eldest sister getting along with her daughter? Nothing, right? ”

Old Man Lin glanced at her, shook his head, and said nothing. Picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, smash it, smash it, I felt that it was not as good as the tea given by Zhou Jiao, and sighed regretfully.

Old Man Lin looked up and saw that everyone was staring at him, waiting for him to speak, but he just didn't speak. He smiled meaningfully, he wanted to see who was more determined than Jiaojiao. If Zhou Jiao was here, he wouldn't have asked a long time ago, and he would have lowered his head to figure out why he wouldn't look at him blankly and wait for him to make a move.

Seeing that even the little son-in-law was about to move, Old Man Lin rolled his eyes and began to count in his heart......
