Chapter 398 A Tumultuous Time

This year is going to be a turbulent one, so it's better to avoid trouble.

Some things are beyond their control.

These days, because they have been staying in the army, they are not very familiar with the situation outside, but since leaving the army, on the way back to their hometown.

Every now and then, you could see people having their homes ransacked, being sent to the countryside, and large numbers of educated youth being sent to rural areas. Not only primary and secondary schools were closed, but even universities began to close.

Nowadays, not only couples who are dating, but even married couples can't get too close to each other outside the home. If caught, they'll be reprimanded.

How many families were torn apart, fathers and sons turned against each other, and people even published notices in the newspapers severing ties...?

People wearing red armbands patrol the streets at any time.

Many people dare not confront this group, and when they encounter them, they lower their heads and quickly leave.

Qin Yunzhou pursed his lips, looking in the direction those people left, his eyes dark and deep, as if he were thinking about something. He stood there for a long time without moving.

After a long pause, he nodded slightly. "Let's go."

Xu Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go buy some things and visit Grandma."

She knew that Qin Yunzhou was a very rational and calm man, but she also knew in her heart that he was sometimes very upright at heart.

However, there are some things that are truly beyond the control of ordinary people like them.

Xu Sui doesn't consider herself a particularly good person, but within her capabilities, she is never stingy in helping others.

But once it exceeds her capabilities, she wants her family to be safe and sound.

Qin Yunzhou withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at the person beside him, and remained silent for a moment.

"Let's go."

Soon, the couple picked out a lot of gifts and some health supplements in the largest department store in the county. After many years, they came to the gate of Grandma Xu's small courtyard again.

"This, this, and this, oh right, and that too, wrap them up for me, I want them all..."

When Xu Sui chooses things, she only picks the good and suitable ones, without even looking at the price.

Unlike the first few days, I no longer have to haggle over the price of everything I buy.

The purpose of making money is to spend it, and money is not saved, but earned.

To be honest, she quite likes her current life. It's tiring, but it's very fulfilling.

When Qin Yunzhou picked out things for his elders, he didn't even look at the price, especially since Old Madam Xu was someone who had once saved his life.

When he returned to his unit after his leg recovered, the military hospital was shocked to learn that he was fine. After all, his leg had not only healed very quickly, but also had no aftereffects or any hidden injuries.

Therefore, the military hospital even went to the military base to ask him how he was cured.

Qin Yunzhou only mentioned that he had encountered a skilled doctor, without specifying that it was Xu Sui's grandmother.

Before he left his hometown, the old lady gave him instructions: she only wanted to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention. If anyone asked, she should just brush it off.

Qin Yunzhou initially thought that the old lady was too old to be disturbed, so although he didn't understand, he did as she said.

Looking back at the decision the old lady made back then, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These days have been anything but peaceful.

It's good to keep a low profile.

Qin Yunzhou carried all the large and small bags of things he bought.

Xu Sui didn't have to worry about anything. She was eating a popsicle, which was sweet and delicious, especially on this hot day.

Qin Yunzhou not only had to carry large and small bags of things, but also took out a handkerchief from time to time to wipe Xu Sui's sweat.

It's so hot outside. I was sweating profusely after sitting outside for only a short while.

Xu Sui also held up the other popsicle in her hand to his mouth, smiled with her eyebrows curving, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright.

"It's mung bean flavored, try it, it's delicious!"

Qin Yunzhou smiled and glanced at her fair and beautiful face before taking a bite of the mung bean popsicle.

"Yes, it tastes really good."

A cool summer breeze blew from afar, gently ruffling their hair.

It was rare to have no children around, just the two of them, and everything felt like they were back in their old days in their hometown, which made them feel much happier.

Unaware that the two were wearing red armbands, they did not stand too close together.

However, they always kept in sync, and the subtle ambiguity around them was something that no one else could interfere with; anyone with eyes could tell they were a couple.

As I was walking, someone suddenly shouted something in front of me.

"Oh, Yunzhou, it's you! You're back?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have treated you two to a meal to welcome you home."

The sudden shout startled Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui, who couldn't immediately recall who it was. They instinctively looked up.

I have to say, he looks somewhat familiar, but I just can't remember who he is.

After all, four or five years have passed, so it's normal not to remember.

Until the old man walked over with a smile, patted Qin Yunzhou's shoulder familiarly, and mentioned his son, sighing:

"Yunzhou, thanks to you back then, my youngest son suddenly became motivated and went to join the army. Now he's a company commander."

"He's quite promising, but it's a pity that the kid is so stubborn. He just won't get married and stays in the army all the time. He doesn't like to go home. We've introduced him to so many women, but he doesn't want any of them. He insists on making a name for himself."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunzhou quickly remembered who the person in front of him was.

He smiled politely.

"Brother Wang, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here so soon after I got back."

Upon hearing the surname Wang and knowing it was from her hometown, Xu Sui quickly thought of the name Wang Jianli.

There was a moment of awkwardness, but after so much time had passed, it was still a bit of a surprise to see Wang Jianli's father again.

If this person hadn't suddenly appeared, Xu Sui would have almost forgotten that Wang Jianli even existed.

It's not easy to run into someone who genuinely considers Qin Yunzhou a close friend and brother, and even chatted with him for quite a while.

Before long, Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui learned from each other that Wang Jianli had been serving in the army all these years and that he was quite successful, becoming a company commander in just a few years.

He just hasn't gotten married yet.

Wang Jianli's parents were extremely worried about this.

Qin Yunzhou immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't expose Wang Jianli. Instead, he continued chatting with his father.

In no time, they had found out everything Wang Jianli had done over the years.

Wang Jianli's father thought that Qin Yunzhou was showing concern for his nephew out of respect for him as an older brother, and he couldn't help but feel touched.

He truly deserves to be called his good brother; he's loyal and values ​​relationships.
