"Yeah," Zhan Xinyue nodded, and then asked, "Don't you think I'm crazy? There are many people who look like me, and I only look like Guagua's mother in the eyes."

Sheng Tunan shook his head and analyzed, "No, Guagua's mother always wears long clothes and long pants on hot days. Today is the beginning of summer, so she can't be hot. And she is obviously different today and looks very nervous."

"Yes, I wouldn't have thought about it that way, but I found that she felt very uncomfortable when she saw me, and her eyes are very similar to mine."

Almond eyes are not a common eye shape, less than 5% of people have them. Moreover, Li Yuchen, Zhan Xinyue, and Dongfang Xiaoqing all have eyes that are dark and bright, exactly the same.

[The fairy in Dicky Cheung's version of Little Fish has standard almond eyes! Rosamund Kwan, Zhao Liying, Alyssa Chia, and Yang Chaoyue also have almond eyes, which make people look younger]

"But I'm just guessing. Maybe Guagua's mom really just suddenly felt unwell."

Zhan Xinyue's eyes were calm: "I don't have the idea of ​​looking for my relatives. In my last life, when I was alone and in such a difficult time, they didn't show up, nor did they look for me. In this life, even if she is my biological mother, I will not look for her, let alone recognize her as my biological mother."

When I needed family affection in the past, they were not there. Now I have gotten used to being alone, so I don’t need them anymore.

"In this life, you have me, and I will always be with you." Sheng Tunan's firm and powerful voice came.

"Yeah." Zhan Xinyue curved her eyebrows. Being used to loneliness doesn't mean she likes it. Of course it's good to have someone to accompany her.

The commune was not far from the Changhong Brigade. This time we drove normally and soon arrived at Sheng's house.

It is a two-story wooden building with a unique shape. Grandpa Sheng is a carpenter. He built this house by himself. It is sturdy and beautiful. There is also a courtyard of neither too big nor too small. The pillars of the courtyard gate are carved with auspicious patterns.

There are flowers planted around the yard, hydrangeas and gardenias are competing for beauty, the breeze blows on your face, and the fragrance is intoxicating.

Sheng Tunan drove the car into the center of the yard, and Zhan Xinyue got out with the rice noodles.

Hearing the sound of the car, Grandma Sheng groped her way out of the house. When she was young, she made cloth shoes from shoe soles all year round to sell, and she overused her eyes. Now that she is old, her eyesight is damaged, but not completely blind, and she can see some outlines clearly.

"Is Nannan back?" Grandma Sheng held the door frame and looked around with somewhat unfocused eyes.

"Grandma, it's me. I've brought your granddaughter-in-law back to you." Sheng Tunan walked forward and held the old woman's hand.

"Is it Xinyue?" Grandma Sheng held Zhan Xinyue with her other hand and said "hello" three times in a row.

"It's good that it's Xinyue. I was not willing to let Hongyan marry in before."

If Sheng Tunan had not heard that Zhan Xinyue was engaged, and felt it was inconvenient for the old man to be alone at home, and the Zhan family had not brought a handwritten letter from his grandfather saying that it was the old man's last wish, Sheng Tunan would have married Zhan Hongyan in his previous life.

"Grandma, it's me. I brought you some rice noodles with meat and soda. Please eat them while they're hot." Zhan Xinyue helped the old lady sit down and brought the rice noodles to the table.

Sheng Tunan went to the kitchen to find chopsticks, washed them and gave them to Grandma Sheng.

The old man was used to eating only two meals a day. It was less than ten o'clock in the morning and he hadn't eaten yet. He felt a little hungry, but he didn't start eating right away. He insisted that Sheng Tunan get another set of bowls and chopsticks so that he could share the meat with Zhan Xinyue.

Grandma Sheng thinks meat is a good thing and since it is not available on normal days, she wants to give it to the younger generations.

"Grandma, Tuanan and I have already eaten and are now full. You eat it by yourself. If you don't eat now, it will get cold and won't taste good." Zhan Xinyue advised and handed the chopsticks to Grandma Sheng.

After hearing that they had already eaten, Grandma Sheng started eating.

While the old lady was having her meal, Sheng Tunan went to the kitchen to boil some water, brewed some tea leaves that Grandma Sheng had roasted herself, and put them in a white porcelain teapot to cool.

The old man ate slowly, so Sheng Tunan took Zhan Xinyue to the second floor, took out quilts, pillows, sheets and quilt covers from the cabinet and hung them in the yard to dry.

"Xinyue, let's go to the commune again and buy you some clothes to change into. Wear them for now, and when we have time later, we'll take you to the city to buy you nice clothes."

The clothes sold in the commune supply and marketing cooperative are not fashionable enough and certainly cannot compare with those sold in the department store.

"Okay." Zhan Xinyue's previous clothes were all patched up. Except for two sets of underwear, which Zhan Xinyue put on her body in advance, Zhan Xinyue didn't bring any other clothes with her.

The two waited until grandma finished her noodles and cleared the table before leaving.

To go from Sheng's house to the commune, one has to pass by Zhan's house. When the car arrived near Zhan's house, one saw Zhan Aiguo, who had just returned from the county, waving a carrying pole and chasing after Chen Juxiang.

"You stinky bitch, you are so shameless. You actually dared to sleep with a wild man. I will beat you to death today."

Zhan Aiguo was chasing angrily from behind, while Chen Juxiang was running panicked in front.

"It's not me, I didn't, don't hit me, it's..."

Chen Juxiang was chased to the edge of the pond with no way to escape. She was afraid that the carrying pole would fall on her. She didn't want to endure that kind of pain anymore. When she was about to say that the person who slept with the team leader was Zhan Hongyan, Zhan Hongyan covered her mouth.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Zhan Hongyan warned Chen Juxiang in a low but cold voice, then stood up and said to Zhan Aiguo who was holding the carrying pole: "Dad, don't spread the family's shame. Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

"Everyone in the brigade knows about it. What's the point of not spreading the word now?"

Zhan Aiguo threw the carrying pole aside, sat down on the road in a dejected manner, spat into his palms, rubbed them, and hit his dark, thin, old face hard, "I have lost face in front of the commune."

It is quite an honor to have a son studying in the county, and Zhan Aiguo likes to show off his son.

This morning, when I was passing by the commune on my way back from the county, I saw someone from the same brigade. Just as I was about to walk over to him and brag about how outstanding his youngest son was, and how he was even able to get into a high school in the county, before I could even say a word, the man saw him as if he were a funny guy. He tried hard to hold back his laughter and pretended to sympathize with him, but in fact he was gloating.

"Aiguo, your wife was slept with by the captain. They said it was forced, but I think your wife seems to enjoy it. You should go back and take a look. Oh, you'd better buy some abortion pills. What if your wife is still able to give birth to a bastard? Do you want to keep it or not?"
