Chapter 116: Third Brother Returned

Knowing Shen Zhengliang would be fine, Shen Qingsong cried tears of joy.

Wiping his tears, he looked at Shen Chuning apologetically, “Good girl, Dad… don’t blame Dad…”

Shen Chuning was prone to crying, seeing her father like this, her eyes welled up, she said choked with emotion, “Dad, what are you saying? I know you did it for my good, why would I blame you?”

Shen Qingsong’s eyes were filled with relief.

“Yubai, when will that good-for-nothing Second Brother be back?” Shen Qingsong asked Zhou Yubai.

“In a couple of days.” Zhou Yubai replied.

Shen Qingsong looked at Shen Zhengxu, “Oldest, when that good-for-nothing comes back, go pick him up. I’ll prepare some things for you to take to your uncle.”

On the way home, Shen Chuning was silent.

At home, Zhou Yubai carried her off the bicycle, seeing her lost in thought, he didn’t disturb her.

Knowing she liked to be clean and bathed every day, he went to heat water for her.

When the water was ready, he found her still lost in thought.

He had heard female soldiers say that serious men were the most handsome.

Now he thought his wife’s serious look was the cutest.

His wife was super cute no matter what.

He walked over, scooped her into his arms, and carried her.

“Wife, what are you thinking about?”

Shen Chuning looked at the man’s handsome face, “I’m thinking, it’s still good to have power.”

“Look at Second Brother’s situation, Dad, Big Brother, and I have no power, we’re like headless flies, scaring ourselves.

Uncle is a small official in the county committee, he has a little power, he can get some information, we can have a general strategy, although we’re still anxious, it’s better than knowing nothing.

You have more power than Uncle, you can know Second Brother’s exact situation, we won’t be anxious.”

In her dream, Wang Yumeng, with the spiritual spring and space, became a famous businesswoman, thanks to Chen Ziyun’s support.

One had money, the other had power, a strong combination, achieving great things.

Zhou Yubai’s expression was serious.

He had been thinking, if he hadn’t been on this mission, would Shen Zhengliang have been framed and become a victim of political struggles?

If something happened to Shen Zhengliang, he couldn’t imagine how sad his wife would be.

Zhou Yubai thought, pulling his wife into his arms, “Wife, I’ll work hard to earn more merits.”

Hearing this, Shen Chuning’s eyes were full of reluctance, “Are you leaving again?”

Zhou Yubai’s hand caressed her soft waist, a slight smile on his lips, “Not yet, there’s still a mission here.”

“Related to the enemy agents in the mountains?” Shen Chuning asked, then realized it might involve secrets.

There weren’t many enemy agents left in the country, even if there were, they were hidden among ordinary people.

So many enemy agents gathering in one place was rare.

Something must have attracted them to the mountain.

This thing must be a secret.

Zhou Yubai nodded slightly, “Mm.”

He didn’t say anything else.

He lowered his head and kissed his wife.

It was another tiring night.

When Shen Chuning woke up, the man was gone, probably on a mission.

She sighed softly.

The man was really busy, sweating during the day, building a new socialist era, sweating at night, cultivating socialist successors.

Shen Chuning stretched and got up, realizing her waist was sore.

She used some spiritual spring water to soak it, making it feel better.

Back in the main room, she saw a note left by the man on the table, “Wife, breakfast is on the table, I’ll be back tonight.”

Shen Chuning smiled.

Lifting the lid of the pot, she saw two warm steamed buns and a bowl of milk with a skin.

Shen Chuning smelled it and knew it was fresh goat’s milk boiled by the man early in the morning from the brigade’s livestock farm.

The goats on the farm usually gave birth around this time.

The goats were well-fed, their milk was plentiful after giving birth, the excess milk was available for villagers to exchange.

Three eggs or ten cents for a bowl of goat’s milk.

Her father often exchanged it for her to supplement her nutrition.

Drinking the goat’s milk, Shen Chuning realized the man had added candy.

The sweetness of the candy completely covered the goat’s milk’s smell, it was fragrant, sweet, and delicious.

After drinking the milk, she took a bun and went to work.

Not long after Shen Chuning left.

Five military jeeps and five Dongfeng trucks entered the village, soldiers in green uniforms were on the trucks.

The villagers of Ci Hang Village had never seen such a scene, they all came out to watch.

“What happened? Why are there so many soldiers?”

“Who knows? But they’re going to the mountains, something big must have been discovered.”

“Something must have attracted the spies!”

“Maybe they discovered a tomb or treasure?”

Someone made this guess, immediately being scoffed at, “You’re so naive, if it was a tomb, they would send a few soldiers to protect the experts, not so many people?

Besides, our place has never had any big figures in history, what kind of tomb could there be?”

…

Everyone speculated, unable to guess the answer.

Someone suddenly saw a familiar figure on the truck, “isn’t that Mr. Shen?”

Following the person’s finger, they saw Shen Zhengrong on the first Dongfeng truck.

“Mr. Shen, you’re on a mission too?”

Shen Zhengrong couldn’t answer them.
