Chapter 397 Revisiting an Old haunt
The Qin family had long since stopped interacting with their extended family members, as well as the Xu family's relatives and unfamiliar neighbors.
I heard that Xu Sui and her husband came back in a Jeep, quite a grand and impressive affair.
They all crowded into the Qin family's small courtyard.
The small courtyard, which wasn't very big, was suddenly so crowded that it was almost impossible for people to stand or breathe.
Those people looked at Xu Sui, who was squeezed in the very center. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she seems to be almost the same as before. On the contrary, she has become more elegant and attractive.
The two of them suddenly lit up and wanted to run to Xu Sui.
"Sui Sui, do you still remember me? I'm your aunt. I even held you when you were little."
"What auntie? Those are distant relatives, not even related by blood. They're not as close as me, their real auntie. We're Sui Sui's real relatives, his father's family."
"Don't crowd around. You're all not close to each other. We neighbors are much closer to Sui Sui and Yun Zhou. Sui Sui, I'm your aunt. They even cooked for you when you got into university."
"I heard you've made it big now, and you're quite capable. Look, this is my grandson. See if he can do anything for you. We don't need any fancy jobs, just get him any one you like."
"He just graduated from high school. If he can't find a job, he'll have to go to the countryside. Sui Sui, you have to help us. We can't let my grandson go to the countryside."
Xu Sui had just arrived at her hometown and had only been resting for a short time. She hadn't even had a chance to talk to her parents-in-law or visit her mother, Wang Yinhua, next door.
She was blocked in the courtyard by these people, and they squeezed her so much that she could hardly breathe.
The weather was already unbearably hot, and with so many people crammed together, all sorts of smells were mixed together—foot odor, body odor, and I don't even know who was fat, but they farted several times.
Even with her good temper, Xu Sui was getting a little irritated in this situation, especially since these relatives were basically no longer related to her family; these neighbors were just ordinary neighbors.
She immediately started asking her to help arrange jobs for her family members.
She frowned slightly, about to say something.
"Ignore them, let's go."
Qin Yunzhou's face darkened, and his aura was extremely low. He strode through the crowd, pulled her into his arms, and then quickly led her away from the place.
They showed no regard whatsoever for their so-called relatives and neighbors.
The rest of the Qin family was also troubled by the relatives and neighbors who came over.
What kind of nonsense is this? Is it normal to be assigned a job like this? Jobs are hard to find these days, and everyone's in the same boat.
Who comes up here and asks others to help them arrange a job?
Xu Sui ignored those people and, under Qin Yunzhou's protection, successfully squeezed out of the crowd, which exhausted her and left her sweating profusely.
After the two ran out, those people were still chasing after them, a huge, swarming group that looked like they were chasing criminals.
"Don't go! Don't run away! Sui Sui, Yun Zhou, why did you run away? We elders came to your house as guests, and you two just abandoned us like this?"
Those so-called relatives and neighbors relentlessly pursued them, chasing after them relentlessly.
Fortunately, Qin Yunzhou came from the military, and his skills were always the best in the army, so shaking off these people was no problem at all.
Before long, he and Xu Sui had left all those people behind and gradually came to a stop.
After all that fuss, Xu Sui's cheeks were slightly flushed, her forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, and her bangs were a little messy.
She was born with rosy lips and white teeth; her face was exceptionally beautiful, even in a big city, it would be considered one of the most beautiful.
After running for so long and sweating profusely, instead of looking disheveled, she possessed a dazzling, messy beauty.
I'm exhausted, absolutely exhausted.
Xu Sui hadn't run this far in a long time, and she was almost exhausted.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze fell on Xu Sui's face, his eyes gradually turning dark, and he lingered in his gaze. He subconsciously reached out and took the handkerchief to gently wipe away her sweat with a tender gesture.
Anyway, after so many years of marriage, my wife's face hasn't changed at all; it's still dazzlingly beautiful.
He noticed it all the way here.
Xu Sui ran until she was covered in sweat, which attracted the attention of many young men.
If he hadn't been right next to Xu Sui, those people probably would have dared to come up and chat with her.
Thinking about this, Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but wonder if he was too old, too old to be good enough for his wife.
Are these two people from different generations standing together?
But he's not old at all. In the military, people usually call him young and promising, praising him for having a bright future.
Xu Sui noticed that the man in front of her was frequently distracted, so she reached out and nudged his arm, then immediately distanced herself from him.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Qin Yunzhou quickly came to his senses.
The next second, seeing Xu Sui clearly distancing herself from him, he reached out to pull her back to his side.
Xu Sui quickly stepped aside and whispered a reminder, "We're outside."
"You forgot? These days, even married couples can't be physically affectionate in public. They have to be mindful of the impact."
They are on the street right now, and there are people wearing red armbands patrolling the street.
Several people were already watching them, ready to come up and arrest them.
Things are not like they were a few years ago. This is 1966, when the crackdown on misconduct and discipline was at its most severe.
Whether it's speculation, hooliganism, or tempting behavior, these are all extremely serious crimes. Once caught, a few words of verbal reprimand are usually enough.
It would be bad if I got reported.
Qin Yunzhou looked up and his sharp gaze swept over, just in time to see several people wearing red armbands walking towards them with serious expressions, as if the couple had committed some heinous crime.
But the next second, when those people's eyes suddenly fell on his high-ranking military uniform from afar, their expressions changed. As if they hadn't seen anything, they turned around and quickly left, running away very fast.
He cursed under his breath as he ran.
Not long after they ran away, the group caught a young couple who were close to each other and gave them a severe dressing down.
The young couple were so frightened that they turned pale and froze, and quickly separated.
Qin Yunzhou's expression was somewhat gloomy, and the atmosphere around him was extremely tense.
His hearing is excellent; he can hear people doing *that* in the middle of the night, let alone this.
Seeing this, Xu Sui moved a little closer to him and whispered, "Alright, let's go."
