Chapter 86 Sudden Bad News
Time passed quickly, and it was already autumn in a blink of an eye.

On the last day of September, just after breakfast, Zhao Ye got on his bicycle and headed towards Jichun with Gao Xiaoqin on his hunchback.

On the way, Gao Xiaoqin, who was sitting behind like a daughter-in-law, suddenly asked, "Hey, do you think I should send Zhou Rong off?"

Thinking of the complicated relationship between the three of them, Zhao Ye tactfully persuaded, "Forget it. Didn't you say that Uncle Liu asked someone to bring you a message, telling you to go back as soon as possible? Maybe it's something urgent."

Gao Xiaoqin thought about it, but she still complained: "Mistake, why didn't I say a word at that time, and asked which school Zhou Rong would be assigned to! Now it's all right, after going around, she actually went Jiang Da, isn't this the same as returning to Jichun from Wujiatun?"

This is Gao Xiaoqin's nagging for the first time since the acceptance letter came out. Although Zhao Ye has already developed immunity, he still finds it funny.

"Why, do you still want to send people two thousand miles away?"

Hearing Zhao Ye's joke, Gao Xiaoqin was even angrier: "I have no grievances with Zhou Rong, why did I do this? After all, it's not because of you, but you are lucky, you didn't remind me in advance, instead of just watching , I lifted a rock and smacked my own feet."

Zhao Ye shouted: "You are here again, I have explained it to you, why don't you believe it?"

"Come on, who are you Zhao Ye, such an old and cunning person, would you not think of this? I see that you are clearly thinking of hugging left and right!"

Zhao Ye slowed down, turned his head and tried to reason with Gao Xiaoqin: "I really don't know the recommendation process, otherwise I will definitely tell you. Also, what do you mean I want to hug left and right, you can't just slander people's innocence Ah! Even if I take ten thousand steps back, if I really have this intention, will you agree, or Zhou Rong will agree?"

"Hmph, you think it's beautiful!"

"It's over, so what are you worried about? Jiang University is in Jichun, but after all, there is some distance from Wujiatun, it's better than you are in the same place!"

"After all, it's all your fault. Why do you say you're fine and provoke Zhou Rong? I used to have a good relationship with her, but now it's embarrassing for everyone."

As soon as Zhao Ye heard this, he knew that he had made a mistake, that is, he should not reason with a woman, especially a woman who was in love.

After realizing this, he immediately stopped expressing any opinions on this matter, and whenever Gao Xiaoqin mentioned it, he always grumbled and dealt with it casually.

Sure enough, Gao Xiaoqin felt quite bored when she saw that Zhao Ye was still refusing to answer, so she took the initiative to skip this topic and talk about other things.

Talking and laughing like this, the two quickly arrived at the ground, put Gao Xiaoqin at the gate of the city compound, watched her go in, and then Zhao Ye went back to the optical film.

Zhou family.

Seeing that Zhao Ye finally came, Zhou Rong, who had already tidied up, complained habitually: "What time is it, you have to come a little later, just in time for dinner."

Zhao Ye poured a bowl of cold water quite familiarly, poured it into his stomach and burped, then said calmly, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, do you understand? Anyway, there is half a month of registration time, at worst, I will go tomorrow. "

Zhou Rong wanted to say something more, but Li Suhua on the side stood up to smooth things over: "Okay, Rong'er, stop bickering with Ono, it's important to get down to business!"

After talking about her daughter, she asked Zhao Ye again: "Xiaoye, how are you doing with the things my aunt entrusted to you?"

"Don't worry, auntie, it's already done!"

Zhao Ye patted his chest, handed the receipts prepared in advance to Li Suhua, and added: "The food stamps are fifty catties, all of which are fine grains. In addition, I have prepared some other tickets. Auntie, please take a look at them. "

Li Suhua just flipped through it casually, and then showed a look of satisfaction, and even said to Zhou Rong: "I said that Xiao Ye is a careful kid, look, besides the food stamps, there are towel tickets, candy Tickets, soap tickets, shoe tickets, clothes tickets, it’s really complete, some of which I didn’t even think of.”

Zhou Rong was very beautiful in her heart, but she said stiffly on her face: "Mom, stop boasting, if you continue to boast, someone's tail will go up to the sky!"

"You child!" Li Suhua shook his head, too lazy to argue with his daughter, and turned to ask Zhao Ye for advice: "Then why are we leaving now?"

Zhao Ye nodded, and was about to get up to go out when he suddenly realized that Zhou Bingkun was not there. He couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Where is Bingkun, isn't he here to see Zhou Rong off?"

Zhou Rong answered this question for her mother: "It's his first day to go to the soy sauce factory today, so I didn't let him take it."

Li Suhua said: "I don't know what Kun'er is thinking. If you ask me to say that the work in the timber factory is good, there is no need to change it. This is not tossing around!"

After hearing that Li Suhua didn't know about Zhou Bingkun's job loss, Zhao Ye couldn't help looking at Zhou Rong with a half-smile on his face.

Zhou Rong rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then followed Li Suhua's words: "What's the matter? Kun'er works as a material worker in a timber factory and walks around carrying logs thicker than her waist every day. Don't you feel bad? You? Anyway, as a sister, I don’t want to bear it.”

"Is Cai Xiaoguang reliable? Don't throw away the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds. Both ends are not good."

"Just put your heart in your stomach. Cai Xiaoguang has promised me that he will ask someone to arrange a job that is both decent and easy, and he will definitely not lose Kun'er."

"That's good, let's go then."

Zhao Ye, who was watching all this from the sidelines, saw that Zhou Rong called Cai Xiaoguang up, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again: "Licking a dog has no human rights!"

Then turned his gaze to the other side, and said that after parting with Zhao Ye, Gao Xiaoqin arrived in front of a two-story western-style building in the depths of the city compound, and was about to lift his legs up the doorstep, but the corner of his eyes was blurred. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of an army green jeep parked beside the flower bed on the left.

After walking over to observe for a while, Gao Xiaoqin made sure that she had never seen this car before, endured her doubts and entered the living room on the first floor, and asked the middle-aged woman who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper: "Aunt Wang, the car at the door Whose car is it, why does it look like a military car to me?"

Aunt Wang in Gao Xiaoqin's mouth, surnamed Wang Minglan, is the lover of Gao's father's friend Liu Guofu. Both husband and wife work in the Jichun Municipal Committee.

It was Gao Xiaoqin who entrusted Wang Lan to do Zhou Rong's matter earlier.

Because Liu Guofu and Gao's father were comrades-in-arms in the past, they had a life-threatening friendship on the battlefield, and the couple only had three sons, and they always wanted a daughter but couldn't get it, so they entrusted Gao Xiaoqin, a friend His children have always been regarded as his own, and even his own children sometimes shy away.

Seeing her return at this time, Wang Lan immediately put down the newspaper in her hand, and asked kindly and caringly, "Xiaoqin is back, is it hot on the road?"

Before Gao Xiaoqin could answer, Wang Lan seemed to have thought of something, got up and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Someone gave you a watermelon for Uncle Liu, and I kept it for you."

Gao Xiaoqin followed behind Wang Lan, thanked him and asked the question again.

Wang Lan looked at Gao Xiaoqin with a smile on her face, and said mysteriously, "Auntie Rong, keep it a secret. We'll talk about it later. Let's eat watermelon first and see if it's sweet or not."

Gao Xiaoqin originally asked this question on a whim, but now that she got this answer, it aggravated her curiosity, so much so that the watermelon didn't taste sweet anymore.

After gnawing two pieces of melon absent-mindedly like this, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't bear to ask another question when she heard a familiar voice from the second floor. She looked up and saw that it was Liu Guofu who walked up front. Followed by him was a young man in military uniform.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, she stood up abruptly, not daring to say anything: "Brother, is that you?"

Gao Xiaoqin did not admit her mistake, this person was indeed her eldest brother, Gao Mingze, the eldest son of the Gao family.

Gao Mingze was also ecstatic when he heard his sister's voice, and rushed down the stairs briskly. The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

After a long time, Gao Mingze took the lead to calm down. He patted his younger sister on the back to comfort her, and joked with a smile: "You are a grown girl, why are you still crying like you were when you were a child, and you are not afraid of Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang's jokes."

Gao Xiaoqin said sullenly: "I'm happy to see you, besides, Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang won't laugh at me."

Wang Lan continued: "Yes, your Uncle Liu and I will not laugh at you, but if you continue to cry like this, Mingze's clothes should be washed. Mingze, did you bring a change of clothes?"

After hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin finally stopped crying, broke free from Gao Mingze's arms, and immediately asked: "Brother, why are you back to Jichun at this time?"

Gao Mingze took Gao Xiaoqin and sat opposite Liu Guofu and his wife, held his sister's hand and explained:

"Isn't this year's conscription work starting again? It just so happens that the deputy head of our army who came to Jiangliao to pick up troops was an old subordinate of our father, so I asked him to bring me along and come back to see you."

"Then how long can you stay?"

"The task is very intense, and I have to leave the day after tomorrow."

Gao Xiaoqin looked disappointed: "Ah, the time is so short, I have a lot to say to my brother!"

Liu Guofu, who was sitting by the side and remained silent, said, "Haha, Xiaoqin is reluctant to part with her brother! Don't worry, uncle told you, there will be more opportunities for you brothers and sisters to meet each other in the future!"

Gao Xiaoqin looked at Liu Guofu in confusion, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Liu, what does this mean?"

Liu Guofu turned to Gao Mingze and said, "What's the meaning of the silly girl's question? Is it you or me?"

Gao Mingze said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Uncle Liu, so naturally it's up to you to talk about it."

"You boy, whoever said that they are not the same!" Even so, Liu Guofu still did his part and said to Gao Xiaoqin eloquently.

"That's what happened. Didn't your brother just say that the commander Zhang Tu who is in charge of receiving troops this time is your father's old subordinate. He is also my comrade in arms. When he first joined the army, I was his platoon leader.

This time when he came to our Jichun, he specially came to visit me, and I told you about your desire to be a soldier, and he said without a word, patting his chest, "I'll take care of it, the old chief's daughter wants to be a soldier. We can ignore it.You said, isn't this a great thing?In the future, you and your elder brother are in the same army, wouldn't it be easy to meet each other? "

Gao Xiaoqin felt her brain buzzing after listening to it, and said insincerely, "But where my parents..."

Not allowing her to finish speaking, Liu Guofu waved his hand: "Don't worry about this matter, we have our own way, just follow your brother the day after tomorrow."

It may be great news for others that such a good thing happened to him, but Gao Xiaoqin's mind is full of Zhao Ye at the moment, what should he do?
Regardless of the fact that the two are already married, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't let go of the relationship between them. After hesitating for a while, she tentatively asked, "Uncle Liu, can I bring someone with me?"

As soon as this remark came out, the three people in the living room were all inexplicably surprised, and Gao Mingze couldn't help standing up, pointing at his sister and questioning: "Xiaoqin, you, tell me clearly, who is the person you want to bring?" Who, what does it have to do with you?"

Faced with the fury from her brother, Gao Xiaoqin was too scared to answer a word, but Wang Lan couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Gao Mingze's behavior.

Then, taking chances, she asked Gao Xiaoqin in a good voice: "Xiaoqin, don't talk to your brother. Come on, tell auntie, is this person you mentioned an ordinary friend you met when you went to the countryside?"

Gao Xiaoqin hesitated for a while, and finally gave up, gritted her teeth and said, "It's not just an ordinary friend, he's my boyfriend!"

"Boom!" Hearing that his sister confirmed his conjecture, Gao Mingze angrily slapped it on the coffee table and scolded:
"Gao Xiaoqin, you're crazy! Are you worthy of what your parents taught you? I don't even ask what stage you have reached. In short, you should stop this matter for me as soon as possible, and follow me to be a soldier honestly!"

These words completely aroused Gao Xiaoqin's rebellious psychology. She also stood up and said without giving in: "No! I am an adult, and I have the right to decide my own personal feelings. And even if my parents know, they Will support me too. Big deal... Big deal, I am not a soldier anymore."

"You! You're going to piss me off!" Seeing that his formerly well-behaved and sensible sister had become like this, Gao Mingze hated the bastard who seduced his own sister, and he became even more determined to take his sister away.

"I'll leave it alone today. You can't decide this matter. Even if it's tied, I'll tie you up and take you away!"

Seeing her elder brother's attitude, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help but look at Liu Guofu and his wife, trying to get support from them, but saw that both of them had serious faces, and they didn't intend to make any statement.

Gao Xiaoqin understands that if she doesn't express her opinion, it means disapproval, which makes her feel a lot colder, and she wants to leave here to find Zhao Ye after being disheartened.

Not wanting Gao Mingze to have quick eyesight and quick hands, seeing this situation, he grabbed Gao Xiaoqin, ignored her crying and struggling, and locked her in the room on the second floor.
