Chapter 48: Visitors from the Lin Family (4)

At the gate, people still hadn’t dispersed. Too many had gathered today, and discussions were ongoing. Old Sir Zhou had already left, and no one knew where Zhou Xue had gone. Zhang Guoqing looked around and noticed a young man in a military uniform. He nodded at him, signaling with his eyes to move outside. The two of them quietly moved to the back hill without drawing attention.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and apologized, noticing that the surroundings were empty. Observing that the other party was also very astute, there was no need to beat around the bush. Soldiers appreciate straightforwardness. "Brother, I guess you’re a comrade beside Zhou Jiao’s grandfather, right? Sorry for the crowd and bustle earlier, making it hard to greet you. Next time, please speak well of me to the old man, or else he’ll tell Jiao Jiao, and she’ll definitely give me a hard time."

"Oh, how did you know that’s Zhou Jiao’s grandfather? Could it not just be someone passing by?"

Zhang Guoqing found it amusing to see the soldier’s serious, square face.

"I say, do you believe such an awe-inspiring old man in military uniform, leading a group of your elite soldiers, was just passing by? The only old revolutionary in these villages around is Old Sir Zhou. I’ve grown up here and never seen comrades visiting him. Plus, from beginning to end, they stood in such a secluded position, unnoticed if you didn’t pay attention."

Fang Fei found Zhang Guoqing’s ease amusing. Just a moment ago, he looked so displeased while protecting his wife, yet in a few minutes, he changed his expression.

"Since you called me brother, Zhang Guoqing, I’ll accept you as my brother then. I’m Fang Fei, a good friend of Lin Dingsheng, Zhou Jiao’s first cousin. That guy knew I was coming to see you and called me from afar to check if you’re reliable." Fang Fei playfully punched Zhang Guoqing’s chest like a man.

Zhang Guoqing returned the gesture, punching his chest, "Just call me Xiao Wu directly. I’m the fifth in line, so the nickname is Xiao Wu. If you stay a few days, we can hang out. There’s hunting in the Northeast right now; how about it, do you hunt, soldier brother?"

Fang Fei kicked over but Zhang Guoqing easily dodged it, "You’ve got some nerve, setting up your brother right after meeting. I’ll only stay for a week; it’s been planned for half a year. Your grandfather can only stay in the Northeast for a week, including a meeting at the Northeast Military District, so he can only stay one night. Your mother-in-law didn’t schedule anything."

"That lady is really my mother-in-law? She looks nothing like Jiao Jiao and isn’t as pretty as her. I was suspicious when I glanced over. But it should be my mother-in-law."

Fang Fei couldn’t help but pat his head for his expression of ’my wife is the prettiest in the world,’ "You’re such a wife fanatic. Yes, your wife is the prettiest. Your wife takes after her grandmother, not just in looks but also demeanor."

By now, the two were arm in arm; men’s friendships are different from women’s, easy and kindred-spirit. "You just haven’t met someone you like yet. Let’s not talk about that. We’ll go in from the back and hang out at my place."

"We’ll go later. I’ll wait for the old man to come over later and we’ll come together. I need to report back to your grandfather about the follow-up; the folks from the township took it away. But you two are really something." Fang Fei gave him a thumbs-up.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head helplessly, "There’s no helping it. Those things have long gone. In the future, tell the Lin Family not to mail them anymore.
