Because Gao Chong's "cousin" was there, Tong Jia and Tao Junle could no longer go into the RV to read and relax as usual after dinner. She could only sit at the desk with professional books to pass the time.

But seeing Tao Junle walking back and forth beside her as if he was worried about something, she had no choice but to put away her professional books, take out a blank piece of paper, and wave at Tao Junle.

She said, "Come, Lele. Move that chair over here and I'll teach you how to read."

Because there was a curtain drawn inside, and Gao Chong's "cousin" had a broken leg, she would definitely make noise if she wanted to stand up by herself, so the two of them began to communicate on paper without worry.

At the beginning, Tong Jia pretended to say a few words about how to pronounce the word, what it means, and the stroke order.

But when she saw what Tao Junle had written, the only sound in the room was the friction between the pen tip and the paper.

Tao Junle wrote: [Sister, I have seen the woman inside. When Yang Jixia asked me to help him pass the message, the woman was standing next to him.

Yang Jixia was still reluctant at that time and was a little hesitant, but the woman dragged him away.

Tong Jia wrote: [Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?]

Tao Junle wrote: [I think I am not mistaken. The woman had long hair at first, but now she has short hair that reaches her ears.

I was worried from the beginning that I might have recognized the wrong person, so I took a closer look while cleaning up the dishes.

She originally took Yang Jixia's hand and left directly, and I happened to see a black mole at the base of her right hand.

The woman inside also has it, so I must have recognized the right person. 】

After seeing what Tao Junle wrote, Tong Jia fell into deep thought.

According to her previous analysis, Yang Jixia should still belong to the Northwest Army, and he will have new opportunities only when the Northwest Army is reorganized.

But according to Tao Junle's findings, he should have had contact with northern Shaanxi early on, and went to the northwest probably to complete a mission. So, did he have his own reasons for leaving on his wedding night?

Suddenly, a scene appeared in my mind when I was a child. I threw myself into my grandmother's arms and kissed her because she made delicious food. Grandma Rong turned her body to the side and secretly wiped her tears.

Tong Jia shook her head and secretly warned herself: No matter what difficulties Yang Jixia had or how great his contributions were, to Grandma Rong, he was a sinner.

I can ask him for an explanation on behalf of Grandma Rong, but I have no right to forgive him on her behalf.

Since it was rare to meet someone related to Yang Jixia, Tong Jia wanted to take the opportunity to find the person in front of him to ask about Yang Jixia's news.

So, she said, "These words are well written. Practice them a few more times and review the previous ones as well. I'll dictate to you later."

Then he put the top two pieces of paper containing their conversation into the RV, then stood up and walked to the curtain.

Tong Jia grabbed the curtain with one hand and was about to speak when the curtain was pulled open from the inside.

Gao Chong's "cousin" asked, "Is there something wrong? I saw you standing in front of the curtain for a long time."

Tong Jia smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing. I was just worried that you'd be bored lying alone, so I wanted to ask if there was any book you wanted to read."

I am the school librarian. I can help you borrow any book that is available in the school library.

This way, we all go to work and school, and you can kill time alone in the dormitory."

"Thank you, Tong Jia. You don't need to borrow books. I brought two books with me, which is enough for me to read in the next few days.

If you're worried that I'll be bored, you can chat with me when you think the time is right, okay?" Gao Chong's "cousin" asked with a smile.

Tong Jia smiled when she heard that, pushed the curtain inward, and sat down on the other bed.

She said, "Actually, I also want to find someone to chat with, but I'm afraid to disturb your rest, Cousin Gao."

Tong Jia was hesitant to ask her what to call her, as she was worried that if her identity was exposed one day, it would be bad if she knew too much.

Calling her cousin directly seems too intimate, while calling Gao Chong cousin seems too distant.

I just called her Cousin Gao.

When the person on the other side heard this name, he smiled, did not stop it, and did not introduce himself.

Tong Jia was even more aware of her identity.

She didn't initiate a conversation, but waited for the person on the other side to speak first.

Cousin Gao said, "I've heard from Gao Chong that many of your ideas are very progressive. She also said that you have particularly unique insights into the issue of national colonization. I'd like to hear from you personally. Is that okay?"

Tong Jia had no choice but to repeat the great Mr. Vladimir's theory of national colonies, adding some of his own ideas.

Cousin Gao, who originally just wanted to chat, became more and more interested in what she had to say. She adjusted her sitting position, facing Tong Jia, and took out a pen and paper to write down some ideas that she thought made sense.

This modest attitude made Tong Jia feel a little guilty. In the end, she added, "These are not my views, but the theories of Mr. Vladimir from the Soviet Union. I think they make sense, so I quoted them.

However... these views may not be in line with the current government's thinking, so... Cousin Gao, let's talk about this matter here, here."

Cousin Gao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

I also know that this is Mr. Vladimir's theory. I have read his works, but I don't understand it as thoroughly as you do.

about……"

"Cousin Gao, we've been talking for so long. Are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water." Tong Jia still doesn't know much about this cousin Gao and doesn't want to have too much communication with her on some sensitive issues.

So, find a reason to change the subject in time.

Cousin Gao also noticed her concerns. She took the cup of water handed to her by Tong Jia, took a sip, and then put the cup on the low cabinet.

Then he asked, "You just explained the theory of national colonization very clearly. Did you understand it yourself after reading the book, or did someone else explain it to you?"

Tong Jia felt that this was a good opportunity to bring up Yang Jixia, so she said, “I didn’t learn these on my own initiative. It was my cousin who did.

After she got engaged, her family was worried that she and her future husband would have no common language, so they asked someone to go to her husband's school to find out what her husband liked, and then invited a teacher to teach him at home.

I happened to be staying at her house at that time, so I learned a little bit from her.”

"How could there be such reasonable parents? However, if you think about it carefully, these parents' ideas are outdated. Why should women be forced to cater to men's ideas? Doesn't this also look down on women?

Since your cousin-in-law is also a progressive thinker, he must be very proud to know that your cousin is willing to cater to his ideas after marriage, right?" Cousin Gao asked with a raised eyebrow.

Tong Jia smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "What are you so proud of? That stinky man has no sense of responsibility at all.

You said that if you don't like my cousin, then you should just talk it out before getting married and the two families can just cancel the engagement.

But he refused to do so. At first, he made the excuse that he had to go to school and asked to postpone the wedding date, and refused to mention breaking off the engagement.

Later, I couldn't hide anymore, so I got married with my cousin.

The wedding is already held, so just live your life well.

He knocked my cousin unconscious on their wedding night and ran away from the marriage.

That bastard didn't consider at all what my cousin would have to face after he left.

He even shamelessly left a message asking my cousin to take care of his parents on his behalf.

I'll go to hell with him.

Poor cousin, not only did she not even get to see that stinky man, she was also beaten on her wedding night. The next day, everyone in her husband's family accused her of being useless and unable to keep her man.

If it weren't for the fact that our family had no connections or leads to find that stinky man Yang Jixia, and the Yang family had just been robbed, and the old lady at home couldn't bear the blow and became paralyzed, we couldn't just let it go with the Yang family like that."

When cousin Gao heard the last sentence, her smiling expression changed instantly.

When Tong Jia saw her expression, she knew that Tao Junle had not recognized the wrong person. The person in front of him really knew Yang Jixia, and their relationship was not ordinary.

"Paralyzed? How could she be paralyzed? Isn't it said that the old lady is in good health? How coincidental that she was robbed? Has the thief been found?" Cousin Gao grabbed Tong Jia's hand and asked anxiously.

Tong Jia looked her in the eyes and said, "Cousin Gao, what's wrong with you? Why are your palms so sweaty? Is your leg hurting again? The doctor didn't prescribe you any painkillers. I'll go get some for you."

How could Cousin Gao let Tong Jia leave without getting the answer she wanted?

She held Tong Jia's hand tightly and asked the same question again.

Tong Jia still didn't answer and was still concerned about her physical condition.

Cousin Gao had no choice but to calm down first, drink some water, and then ask again: "I was a little excited just now.

The main thing is... yes... I also know a person named Yang Jixia. He is a very good and brave person who dares to fight against feudal ethics... my revolutionary... my friend.

When you mentioned that name, I thought something happened in his family, so I got a little excited.

Now that I think about it calmly, it shouldn't be his house.

He has many brothers and sisters and his family is well off. Even if he was robbed, his mother would not be so devastated.

By the way, where is your cousin from? And where is her husband's family from?"

Tong Jia sneered and said, "My cousin's family is from a water town in the north. Her in-laws... I don't really know where her in-laws are. After all, I've never been there. I just heard other family members talk about that person."

Cousin Gao asked again, "So, has your cousin returned to her parents' home, or is she staying with her husband's family?"

Tong Jia asked, "Cousin Gao, do you think my cousin should go back to her parents' home or stay at her husband's home?"

"Uh..." Cousin Gao opened her mouth but said nothing.

Tong Jia basically confirmed that the person in front of her knew Yang Jixia, and the relationship between the two was not simple.

Although I don’t know what Yang Jixia is thinking, judging from Cousin Gao’s panicked attitude just now, at least her thoughts about Yang Jixia are not pure.

Tong Jia didn't say anything else, but stood up and walked to Tao Junle, saying that she wanted to check the words Tao Junle wrote.

Tao Junle was indeed writing, but it was not the words that Tong Jia had just taught him.

On a piece of white paper, countless "shameless" words were written, and at the end, a sentence was written very solemnly: "Sister, don't be sad, I will always be with you."

Tong Jia smiled, patted his head, and said, "Your handwriting is good. It's a little late today, so I won't dictate to you. Let's do it together tomorrow after you learn a few more characters."

Okay, I'm going to help Cousin Gao wash up. Since you're a boy, you need to be careful. Take your toiletries and go to the public pool outside to wash up.

When you come back later, don’t push the door open directly. Knock on the door first. I’ll let you in, then you can come in, okay?”

Tao Junle nodded, obediently took out a basin of toiletries from under the bed and went out.

No matter what Tong Jia personally thinks of Cousin Gao, since she has promised Gao Chong to take good care of Cousin Gao, she will definitely fulfill her duty diligently.

After cousin Gao finished washing up before going to bed with the help of Tong Jia, she stopped Tong Jia who was about to go wash up herself.

She said, "Tong Jia, can you...can you contact your cousin now? I...I want to help..."

"You want to help her? You have never met each other, but you want to help her just because you heard about her story? Cousin Gao, you are too kind-hearted." Tong Jia deliberately praised.

Cousin Gao said, "I've said before that I know a man named Yang Jixia, and he...he's doing something very dangerous now.

So, I want to take good care of his family for him.

Although I don’t know whether these two Yang Jixia are the same person, I think that your cousin, since she has attended Mr. Vladimir’s theoretical lectures with you, should also be a person with progressive ideas.

If she's having a really hard time right now, I want to help her."

"How are you going to help her?" Tong Jia asked in a softer tone.

Cousin Gao said, "It depends on whether she is at her parents' home or her husband's home."

The implication was that if she returned to her parents' home when the Yang family was in such a difficult time, then everything about her would be taken care of by her parents' home, and it seemed that she would not need to do anything.

If she still stays in her husband's family, I will help her.

Tong Jia said: "She is neither at her parents' home nor at her husband's home.

Because the Yang family was suddenly robbed, most of the family property was gone. Everyone in the clan believed that all this was related to Yang Jixia who disappeared on the wedding night.

She was not allowed to return home, nor was she allowed to stay in the Yang family.

Let her go out and look for Yang Jixia. If she finds him, bring him home and explain the reason. If she doesn't find him, she doesn't have to go back.

"How could this happen? Won't your family look for her? You must have a way to contact her, right?" Cousin Gao asked anxiously.

Tong Jia shook her head and said, "In the beginning, it was true, but ever since my cousin heard that stinky man went to the northwest, she followed him there too.

This happened before the summer began, and I haven't heard from her since."

"What about the news about the Yang family?" Cousin Gao asked again.

Tong Jia said angrily, "My cousin is nowhere to be found, why should I care about that heartless family?"

Cousin Gao was speechless. Tong Jia didn't know what she was thinking, but having heard the creaking sound of the bed legs all night, she knew that she must be in great pain, otherwise she wouldn't be tossing and turning in bed even with a broken leg.
