Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"The sunrise is like this..."

Zhang Weiguo told Zhang Chaoyang that he had met Xia Yan today and suspected that there might be something wrong with her.

"Weiguo, do you suspect that Xia Yan might be an enemy spy?"

"Well, I always feel that her temperament is not like that of a normal university teacher, and I suspect that she may have some purpose in approaching my neighbor."

"But what can you do by getting close to a cook?" Zhang Chaoyang asked doubtfully.

At first, Zhang Weiguo couldn't understand what purpose Xia Yan had in contacting Sha Zhu, a cook who was not involved in production, but Lou Xiao'e's casual remark just now reminded him.

"Chaoyang, what if she plans to poison the steel mill?"

"Poisoned?"

Zhang Chaoyang didn't think about it in this way. After all, the enemy spies before were destroying important facilities, railways, buildings, etc.

"How about this, Weiguo, I will find someone to follow her tomorrow. After all, these are our suspicions."

"Well, remember to tell me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, I'll be the first to tell you when there's news."

The next day, Zhang Weiguo rode his bike and took Lou Xiao'e back to the village to visit his parents.

"Mom, I'm back."

As soon as Zhang Weiguo entered the house, he shouted to his mother who was washing clothes in the yard.

"Weiguo, are you back from a business trip?"

"Yes, mother. Didn't I go out for something right after I got married? As soon as I came back, I brought Ezi to see you and father."

"Mom, these are the clothes I bought for you and Dad." Lou Xiao'e quickly took out the clothes she had bought yesterday on the second floor of the department store.

"Okay, okay." Zhang's mother was very happy when she saw the clothes that Lou Xiao'e brought. She thought her daughter-in-law was a person who knew how to be filial to them.

"By the way, Mom. Did my dad go to the fields?" Zhang Weiguo asked at this time.

"Well, don't worry about him. He will be back on time." After answering Zhang Weiguo's question, Zhang's mother said to Lou Xiao'e, "Ezi, don't stand in the yard. Mother will make you something delicious."

"Mom, I'm with you."

Zhang's mother pushed Lou Xiao'e into the house and said, "No need, you and Weiguo just go in and wait."

Inside the house, Lou Xiao'e asked Zhang Weiguo, "Weiguo, are we really not going to help mother?"

Zhang Weiguo smiled and said, "Ezi, you can do your mother the greatest help by not going to the kitchen."

Lou Xiao'e waited for a while before reacting and said:

"Okay, Zhang Weiguo, you're saying my cooking is bad, right?"

"I never said that."

Zhang Weiguo spread his hands and pretended to be innocent.

"I don't care, you just said it."

After the two of them quarreled for a while, Zhang's mother prepared the meal.

The dinner table.

Zhang's father, who had just returned, said to Zhang Weiguo: "Weiguo, you are married now, isn't it time to consider having children?"

"Yes, Weiguo. If you two don't have time to take care of the baby, mom can help you."

Before Zhang Weiguo could reply, Lou Xiao'e's face turned red.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely let you hold your grandson next year."

"Right, Ezi?" Zhang Weiguo raised his eyebrows again and asked Lou Xiao'e.

“…Ah, yes, yeah.”

Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to answer, so she could only say yes. After saying that, she secretly pinched Zhang Weiguo under the table.

"Haha, then your mother and I will wait to have a grandchild next year."

Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo talked to his parents about his younger brother and sister’s academic performance. They both live on campus now and only come back on weekends.

In the subsequent conversation, Zhang's father talked to Zhang Weiguo about the visit of the eldest brother of the Guo family in the village.

Speaking of which, Zhang Weiguo also has to call the eldest son of the Guo family Uncle Guo.

"Weiguo, let me tell you, the head of the Guo family was originally a ruthless person." Zhang's father said.

"Dad, tell me in detail."

"Okay, Dad will tell you the reason behind this."

"The eldest brother of the Guo family was originally a member of Chiang Kai-shek's faction and fought against the Japanese. It is said that after Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and fled, he stayed and worked in a factory in the county town."

After taking a sip of wine, Zhang's father continued, "Weiguo, don't be fooled by the fact that the Guo family boss looks so kind now. I remember when some hooligans came to trouble him, he broke both of his hands."

"Also, one of the gangsters died at home that night." This was what Zhang's father whispered in Zhang Weiguo's ear.

"Dad, if that's the case, then the head of the Guo family is indeed not an ordinary person, and his actions are quite ruthless." Zhang Weiguo said to his father.

"Who says it's not true? But the eldest brother of the Guo family is also a filial man. He goes back to the village every month to pay homage to his father."

Zhang Weiguo didn't think much about it. After chatting with Zhang's father for a while, he went back with Lou Xiao'e.

Just as he and Lou Xiao'e reached the entrance of the alley, Zhang Weiguo saw Sha Zhu and his girlfriend talking at the entrance of the alley.

"Silly Zhu, you are chatting with your partner."

"It's Weiguo." Sha Zhu also responded to Zhang Weiguo.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm going back first. Don't forget what you promised me." When Xia Yan saw Zhang Weiguo coming back, she also said goodbye to Sha Zhu.

"Don't worry, Yanmei."

Zhang Weiguo returned home and asked Lou Xiao'e, "Ezi, what do you think of Shazhu's girlfriend?"

"It looks pretty good." Lou Xiao'e said subconsciously.

"Do you think she looks like a university teacher?"

"Her? A university teacher? Not quite... a little bit... like that..."

After repeating it several times, Lou Xiao'e said,

"Like one of my third mothers."

"Ezi, what did your third mother do in the past?" Zhang Weiguo asked.

"I heard from my father that Third Mom was originally a prostitute, and was later redeemed by my father. However, after the establishment of the New Dragon Kingdom, the country did not allow polygamy, so my father sent Third Mom to Hong Kong Island."

Zhang Weiguo listened to Lou Xiao'e's words and felt that Xia Yan was most likely an enemy spy. After all, her temperament was too similar to those prostitutes.

While Zhang Weiguo was still thinking, Zhang Chaoyang came to Zhang Weiguo's home on a bicycle.

"Defend the country, defend the country."

"Chaoyang, why are you here? Could it be..."

Before Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, Zhang Chaoyang said happily: "Weiguo, you helped me a lot this time."

"There's really something wrong with the Xia Yan you mentioned."

"Come, tell me in detail." Zhang Weiguo took Zhang Chaoyang to a small study room he had vacated.

"Weiguo, after listening to what you said yesterday, I sent two good people from our institute to investigate her today. We found out that she just got her university teacher status this month, and one of our experts in reconnaissance discovered that she often leaves special marks in certain places."

Zhang Chaoyang added: "We can be sure this time that even if Xia Yan is not an enemy spy, her identity is definitely very questionable. I have someone following her 24 hours a day. Weiguo, you have done me a great service this time."
