Xie Zhuo stood on the side of the road for a few minutes.

The person standing guard at the gate of the compound looked at him several times before he slowly walked over and gave his name, saying that he was looking for Jing Keying from the Jing family.

The guard looked at him for a few seconds, then walked over to make a phone call.

Xie Zhuo looked around again. He could no longer remember some of the details of the last time he came here. He only remembered that Jing Keying's mother had a bad temper. No matter who she met, she looked like she was about to lose her temper.

When she heard him say that he wanted to see Jing Keying, she stared at him coldly for a while, then said she was not at home and drove him out.

I don’t know this time…

Xie Zhuo was thinking about something in his mind, his eyes scanning the surroundings aimlessly. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on one direction.

No, to be precise, it was frozen on a woman's face.

He stared at that place for a long time, then took out a photo from his pocket. The woman in the photo was 80% similar to the woman not far away.

If there was any difference, it was probably that the woman in the photo had short hair that reached her ears, while the woman walking towards him had long hair that was almost down to her waist.

Xie Zhuo's lips were tightly clenched, and he put the photo back together when the woman was about to get close to him.

The guard on duty called the Jing family several times but no one answered. Just as he was about to come over to talk to Xie Zhuo, he saw Jing Keying who was taking the child home.

"Comrade Jing," the guard said to Jing Keying, "someone is looking for you here."

Jing Keying was lowering her head and talking gently to the child beside her. When she heard the guard's words, she looked towards Xie Zhuo.

With just one glance, she froze in place.

so similar.

The three brothers of the Xie family are all tall. Even though Xie Zhuo is the most delicate-looking one among the three, his two older brothers are not bad-looking either.

Occasionally seeing this, Jing Keying thought...

She stood there for a long while before taking two steps forward. "You, who are you?"

"Xie Zhuo," Xie Zhuo didn't have any special feelings. He looked at her, then glanced at the face of the little girl she was holding, "Are you picking up the kids from school?"

"Ah, yes," Jing Keying felt dazed again when she heard Xie Zhuo's name, as if she had returned to a few years ago.

At that time, Xie Fei was still alive. Among all those who defended the country, the people, and the army, his name was the most special. Although he was born in a rural village, his name sounded very literary.

"Xie Fei, Xie Fei," Jing Keying repeated Xie Fei's name over and over again, "Who gave you this name? It sounds nice."

"My dad," Xie Fei rolled up the sleeves of his military uniform and tilted his head towards her while washing his hands. "When he was a kid, he learned a few words from others and just randomly named this."

"This is not a random name," Jing Keying disagreed with him, standing beside him with her arms folded. "The Book of Songs says, 'A gentleman is like a knife, like a polisher, like a stone, like a grinder, and not a master.' It describes a person with literary talent. Dad wanted you to go to college at that time, right?"

Xie Fei did not answer her question, but just snorted and said that his brother's name was Xie Zhuo.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Jing Keying was a little absent-minded until her little daughter grabbed her fingers and shook them, and then her eyes refocused on Xie Zhuo's face.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

Xie Zhuo actually thought a lot before coming here, including the scene of his first meeting with this sister-in-law whom he had never met before, and whether they would talk about his second brother, or if she asked about Xiaobao, how he should answer and so on.

He had written several thousand words in his mind, but when they met, the scene had nothing to do with what he had imagined.

He stared at Jing Keying for a long time, until Jing Keying began to frown, and then he slowly spoke.

"Do you still remember Xie Jingyi?" Xie Zhuo asked.

Dabao and Xiaobao were tired from playing, so they crowded around Xu Yan and pestered her to tell them a story they had never heard before.

Xu Yan brushed away the hair that fell on his face and touched their faces. "Well... today I will tell you a story about an ugly duckling."

"Ugly duckling?" Dabao tilted his head and looked at her.

"Yes," Xu Yan said with a smile. Her voice was very low and soft, flowing quietly in the inky night.

"Once upon a time there was a little swan. She had just hatched from her egg..."

Dabao and Xiaobao listened very seriously at the beginning, but in less than five minutes, they fell into a deep sleep. Xu Yan leaned over and took a look at the two of them. Seeing that the two kids were covered tightly with quilts, he also fell asleep with peace of mind.

The weather is getting colder and the daybreaks are coming later.

It used to be light at five or six o'clock, but now it's almost eight o'clock and the sun hasn't come out yet.

Fortunately, the school start time for the commune primary school was slightly delayed. By the time Dabao and Xiaobao finished washing up and having breakfast, they could walk over with Xiaoshuanzi in just the right time.

It has been two or three days since Xie Zhuo arrived in Southern Province. Apart from the telegram he sent when he first arrived, there has been no news since then and I don't know how things are going.

Xu Yan was a little worried.

When Li Aihua came over to chat about gossip again, Xu Yan's attention was slightly diverted.

"Sun Jiarou's child is gone," Li Aihua was still sewing a pair of soles. Judging from the size, it was Xiao Shuan's. "I just heard about it last night. It's a pity that you went to bed early, otherwise I would have come over to talk to you last night."

Xu Yan was a little surprised, "Why is it gone?"

"I heard that she had a fight with Han Xiaoyu," Li Aihua said, "When Han Xiaoyu was about to leave, she rushed over but missed and fell directly to the ground."

Xu Yan frowned.

It hurts to hear it.

"Hey, there's more," Li Aihua put down the needle in her hand and said mysteriously to Xu Yan, "I heard that she's crazy."

"Crazy? Why?" Xu Yan asked.

"I don't know," Li Aihua shook her head. "Anyway, when the Sun family asked the brigade to send her to the city hospital by oxcart, she was talking nonsense the whole time."

"What are you talking about? She is the heroine, and she will be the richest person in the country in the future. And what else? Sun Guoan and Chen Guizhen will beg her and Han Xiaoyu in the future."

"It is said that he kept muttering to himself all the way, and Sun Guoan and Chen Guizhen's faces turned pale when they heard him."

"Oh, in the end, Han Xiaoyu stuffed his mouth with a piece of cloth, and he stopped talking."

Li Aihua chattered on for a long time and didn't notice that Xu Yan's expression changed.

heroine?

The richest man in the country?

Isn't this the plot of the original book?

How did Sun Jiarou know?

Could it be that she was reborn? Or was she also a time traveler?

That's not right. If she had traveled through time, she wouldn't have said those words. She must have been reborn...

Since she was reborn, then Han Xiaoyu... Only then did Xu Yan remember the scene when he saw Han Xiaoyu digging big yellow croaker by the river.

Could it be that Han Xiaoyu was also reborn?
