Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

Chapter 178 Loach and mutton (second update!)
The feeling of worry in Lu Xiang's heart lasted for three days. Dong Ziyang realized that something was wrong, and did not dare to go around making trouble with a playful smile. He finished his homework and helped with housework.

Finally at noon on the third day, Dong Ming called.

A large family gathered together, and Lu Xiang couldn't help but shed tears when he heard the familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"You debt collector, you haven't had a single phone call these days. Do you know how worried I am?"

Dong Ming's voice was obviously tired, "I'm sorry, my wife, for making you worry. It's just that some leaders from the province came and held several important meetings in a row. It's okay. I'm on my way back to Ningli County now." .”

Lu Xiang: "Aren't you having a meeting in the city? Why don't you have a meal before leaving?"

Dong Ming: "There are a lot of things to do. I still have a lot of materials to get back home. I'm a little rushed. When I finish the work this time, I will take two days off to accompany you and Ziyang."

You can feel your husband's hard work through the phone. Lu Xiang is not an inconsiderate person. He was just too worried before, but now he knows that he is safe and his worried heart is relieved.

"Okay, have a good rest. Your health is the most important thing. Don't tire yourself out. Ziyang and I are counting on you. Nothing can happen to you."

Dong Ming said "hmm" and smiled softly: "Good wife, you have worked hard for so many years. I will bring some loach and mutton back in two days. I think-"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiang quickly stopped him: "Gu, Jia Jia and Yan Zi are all here!"

If you don't stop me, you will say all kinds of nasty things.

Dong Ming choked on the other end of the phone and quickly pretended to cough.

"Ahem, cough, it's nothing. I'll bring some food back and cook it for you."

Zhou Chunyan and Grandma Dong looked at each other and saw teasing in each other's eyes.

Xie Jianjia didn't know why and asked curiously: "Godmother, what's wrong with the loach and mutton?"

Lu Xiang's face suddenly turned red from his neck to his forehead.

The little girl's childish and confused voice came clearly to the other end of the phone. Dong Ming knew that his wife was absolutely embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject, "Jiajia, are you here? How are your grades recently? How are you getting along with your classmates? "

Loach and mutton were uncovered.

After dinner, Zhou Chunyan was taking a shower when Xie Jianjia's cell phone rang and she went to the balcony to answer the call.

"Jiajia." The voice was hoarse and dry.

"Godfather."

Xie Jianjia could guess that Dong Ming would call her alone, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She thought it would take another two days.

Dong Ming: "I was taken to talk."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh of relief. You could feel his relaxation even as he put down the phone. I guess the result was not bad.

Xie Jianjia: "On New Year's Eve, I went to the riverside to watch the fireworks, and I seemed to see Zheng Yihong's car."

Dong Ming: "On New Year's Eve? Pretty much. I was taken away two days before New Year's Day. They were probably afraid of making noise during the day and causing unwarranted speculation, so they chose New Year's Eve? I don't understand what the leader was thinking. .”

Aren’t there more people on New Year’s Eve?Can't figure it out.

Xie Jianjia: "Dad, have you seen Zheng Yihong?"

Dong Ming: "No, I didn't see anyone from the city. They were all from the province who came to talk to me, one after another. They didn't stop except for eating and sleeping. Fortunately, I only knew a little bit about it. Same thing. Talking back and forth, my lips are blistering." There was still no news from Zheng Yihong. Xie Jianjia stood on the balcony, feeling the cold wind, and her heart could not let go.

Xie Jianjia's silence made Dong Ming realize that she was worried about Zheng Yihong.

"Jiajia, don't worry too much. After several days of conversations, I clearly feel that the leaders sent by the province this time are very fair and strict. They will not cover up Lei Caize and his group. Lei Caize and their evidence It is true that he will definitely get the punishment he deserves.”

Xie Jianjia sighed: "It's useless to worry. I can't do anything. I can only wait for Zheng Yihong to contact me."

Dong Ming: "You should go to class, dance, and don't forget to see the doctor on time. Don't worry about these things. I will bring you some oranges from Uncle Zhang's house in two days."

Speaking of the oranges from Uncle Zhang's house, Xie Jianjia thought of the oranges she ate while sitting on the back seat of Dong Ming's bicycle, and her mouth suddenly felt sour.

"No, no, let Uncle Zhang keep it for himself."

Dong Ming began to chat with Xie Jianjia about the oranges and winter dates in the county and the uncle Wang who had his son's wedding last time. He had a little granddaughter in his family and held the little granddaughter in his arms all day long without letting go.

"Jiajia! It's time to take a bath!" Zhou Chunyan put the water at a suitable temperature and called her daughter to take a bath.

"coming--"

After Xie Jianjia replied to her mother, she said to Dong Ming on the other end of the phone: "Dad, you go and rest. You must be exhausted these days. I have to go to class tomorrow. I'm going to hang up."

Dong Ming: "Okay, you go to bed early too."

Recently, the person who appeared the most on TV news became the deputy mayor.

Xie Jianjia still went to Mr. Zheng's house in Yinshu Lane every now and then to look after the chickens that laid eggs for him. After cooking them, she took them to the hospital for Mr. Zheng to eat. Because someone had dug into the yard of Zheng's house, it was already under surveillance.

"Little girl, why haven't you heard from your Uncle Zheng and Uncle Lin for so long?"

The old man knew that his son was busy and would rarely take the initiative to contact him by phone. However, he would watch TV and listen to the news on the radio every day. Knowing that his son had not shown up for more than ten days, he couldn't help but feel worried. He called his daughter-in-law and grandson. Everyone said it was okay, Zheng Yihong went to the meeting.

What kind of meeting is this? It lasted for more than ten days and I couldn't even get through to Secretary Lin on the phone?
Xie Jianjia paused for a moment while peeling the oranges for Mr. Zheng.

"Uncle Zheng is the leader. He is busy with meetings or business trips. It is normal for him to have no time. Your daughter-in-law and grandson say he is fine, so he must be fine. Just relax and recover well. When he comes back and sees that your waist is healed, , absolutely delighted.”

Mr. Zheng still frowned, "But there is no news from Secretary Lin. This is not normal."

Xie Jianjia handed the peeled orange in her hand to his mouth.

"They must be having an important meeting. The two of us are together. How can we ordinary people know so clearly what is going on above? There's no point in worrying about it."

Mr. Zheng ate the orange, the sweet taste spread in his mouth, and he felt better.

"That's right, we ordinary people can live a stable life. Your Uncle Zheng is not young anymore. You have an old man like me at home and a child who has just started working. You have to do things appropriately. I can't control it. I think back then When I was young."

Mr. Zheng began to reminisce about the past with Xie Jianjia, talking about his heroic deeds on the battlefield and touching stories with his comrades. Xie Jianjia obediently sat aside and listened quietly, expressing surprise or praise from time to time.

With the little girl by his side, Mr. Zheng's anxiety has dissipated a lot.
