Chapter 223: On Fire
After Qi Chengxi and Ye Nanyi got off the train, they saw the people who came to pick them up.
"Captain, I'm here to pick you up."
After hearing the sound, Qi Chengxi pulled Ye Nanyiyi towards the car.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Qi Chengxi quickly introduced Ye Nanyi to him.
"This is a statement, my comrade."
Ye Nanyi extended her hand and greeted him, "Hello, Comrade Chen, I'm Ye Nanyi."
Chen Shu glanced at Qi Chengxi and found that the other party had no objection, so he shook his hand back.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the three of them got into the car, Qi Chengxi saw Zhou Zhou rushing over from the window.
He was also hit by his mother, and was probably cursing at her.
"Let's go!"
Since Zhou Zhou is here to pick someone up, he is no longer needed.
"Mom, everything was fine, why did you think of bringing Huzi to my place?"
Li Hongying said angrily: "If I don't come, when will you be able to get married? I'm here to check on you."
Zhou Zhou's face turned pale. He knew Li Hongying's personality very well.
Otherwise, his sister-in-law wouldn't have divorced his elder brother out of anger and raised Hu Zi to be a man without any manners.
"Huzi, call me Second Uncle."
When Hu Zi heard Li Hongying asking him to shout, he shouted reluctantly.
"Hello, uncle."
Zhou Zhou felt his heart turn cold when he saw his nephew's reluctant look.
He hasn't married yet, so he sends most of his monthly allowance back home.
"Mom, let's go!"
Seeing Zhou Zhou's unhappy expression, Li Hongying didn't dare to say anything. But when she thought that her son was actually dating the political commissar's daughter, she suddenly felt proud again.
Zhou Zhou, who was walking in front at the moment, didn't know what Li Hongying was thinking. He just wanted to let her go home.
As soon as Li Hongying arrived at Zhou Zhou's residence, she saw Ye Nanyiyi and Qi Chengxi.
"Son, who is this man?"
Zhou Zhou looked up and found that Qi Chengxi had returned from vacation.
"Captain, you're back! This is my sister-in-law!"
Qi Chengxi smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I brought your sister-in-law with me to join the army. Now I'm going out to buy some things."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Nanyiyi away.
Zhou Zhou was a little puzzled. He had fought side by side with Qi Chengxi, so why did the other party have such a strange attitude?
Before he could think about it, Hu Zi immediately gave the answer.
"Uncle, that little girl wouldn't give me any meat. I even asked her to give me 20 yuan, but she refused. Go beat her up."
Zhou Zhou thought he had misheard and looked at Li Hongying in disbelief.
Li Hongying had just heard Zhou Zhou calling Qi Chengxi "Company Commander" and she felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look her son in the eye.
After Zhou Zhou opened the door, he took out something and tempted Hu Zi to tell him what happened on the train.
Zhou Zhou, who knew the whole process, was so angry that his eyes turned black.
"Mom, how could you do this? Are you trying to kill me?"
Li Hongying is used to being domineering in the village, so how could she allow her own son to question her like this?
"What are you yelling about? You think you're so great? That little bit of money you have is just enough to help your eldest brother get married."
When Zhou Zhou heard this, he became even angrier and stood up suddenly.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You used the money I sent back to help my eldest brother get married. What should I do? You said you would leave half for me to get married."
Zhou Zhou really didn't expect that Li Hongying would be so unreliable.
His ex-sister-in-law was such a nice person, but she just made trouble every day and caused her husband to divorce.
"You're in the army, and you're dating a capable guy. Why can't you help your brother?"
Li Hongying said this with confidence.
Zhou Zhou no longer wanted to talk. He now had only one thought: he couldn't let her see Gu Tingting, otherwise everything would be over.
"Mom, just stay home and don't go out and wander around. It would be bad if you go to places you shouldn't go, and you would get me into trouble."
As soon as Zhou Zhou finished speaking, Li Hongying was about to get angry, but when she looked up and saw her son's unhappy face, she had to nod in agreement.
"Then you stay home, I have something else to do."
After Zhou Zhou left, Hu Zi took Li Hongying's hand and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."
When Li Hongying heard this, she knew she couldn't let her eldest grandson starve, so she picked up the pot and started cooking.
After Ye Nanyiyi and Qi Chengxi bought the things and brought them home, they packed them up again.
"Brother Cheng Xi, let's cook! I'm hungry."
Ye Nanyi was about to stand up when Qi Chengxi pulled her back.
"No need. Chen Shu helped me get food from the cafeteria today. He should be here soon."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
"Captain, it's time for dinner."
Chen Shuo was afraid of embarrassment, so he shouted in the yard first.
"Come in! Thank you, Chen Shu."
After Chen Shuo put the food on the table, he thought of Zhou Zhou whom he had just seen.
"Company Commander, I don't know what's wrong with Zhou Zhou. I called him, but he couldn't hear me. His face looked very ugly."
Qi Chengxi and Ye Nanyi looked at each other and said, "Maybe he's in a bad mood!"
Chen Shuo then told a piece of gossip.
"That's impossible! Zhou Zhou is dating Political Commissar Gu's daughter! Isn't that a time of great joy for him? How could he not be happy?"
Qi Chengxi was a little surprised and said, "This didn't happen when I was on vacation. How did this word get out?"
Ye Nanyiyi was also very curious, so she looked at Chen Shuo.
Chen Shu then said: "Oh! What happened is this, you were gone just one day when Gu Tingting went to the town to buy something. For some reason, her bicycle broke down and she happened to run into Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou is also a ruthless person. Instead of repairing the bicycle, he carried the bicycle and returned to the army with Gu Tingting.
Some of the sisters-in-law saw it, and the word spread. "
Ye Nanyi frowned and asked in confusion: "No, just let this gossip spread everywhere!"
"That's not the case. The main reason is that Gu Tingting admitted it herself. When Zhou Zhou saw it, he simply admitted it too. Now these two have become a couple."
Chen Shuo told everything he knew.
"Has your political commissar also agreed to this?"
Ye Nanyiyi was very curious. Would the political commissar agree?
"I don't know if you agree or not, but the day Gu Tingting said that, the neighbors next door heard Political Commissar Gu throwing a tantrum at home.
Gu Tingting just stayed at the school and didn't go home."
Ye Nanyi thought, this is right! Gu Tingting is really bold enough to admit it directly.
"It's on fire! Put out the fire! It's on fire! Put out the fire!"
When the three heard the sound, they quickly put down the bowls in their hands and rushed out to see what was going on.
Black smoke was billowing from the house at the far end.
"Isn't this Zhou Zhou's house? Isn't he at home? Why is there a fire?"
"Let's put out the fire first!"
Qi Chengxi took two buckets from home, filled them with water, and rushed to Zhou Zhou's house.
There is strength in numbers, and the fire was almost out in a short while. The faces of the grandmother and grandson were covered with black ash from the smoke.
