Fang Ping’an was about to get up to open the door when he saw that Luo Zhiyong had already come in, holding keys in his hand with two people in military uniforms behind him. Luo Zhiyong smiled and shouted to the family, "Pingying, we have guests at home." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel·fiɾe·net Fang Pingying looked and, to her surprise, it was Instructor Su and Zhou Guangsheng. She immediately brushed the flour off her hands and cheerfully exclaimed, "Welcome, welcome! It’s Instructor Su and Chief Zhou’s first visit to our place." After Zhou Guangsheng and Instructor Su entered, they greeted everyone in the house. Zhou Guangsheng smiled and said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, sorry to bother you." "It’s no bother at all. Nothing much happening here, please have a seat," Fang Pingying invited them to sit on the sofa with a smile. This was the first time Zhou Guangsheng and his companion saw Luo Zhiyong’s twins at home, they found them amusing and immediately started playing with them. Seeing them approach, Fang Xiu immediately stood up and poured a cup of tea for them, "Chief Zhou, Instructor, have some tea." Instructor Su, not being very familiar with Fang Xiu, casually responded after receiving the tea. Zhou Guangsheng, on the other hand, had previously given Fang Xiu a ride home, and they seemed quite familiar. He took the tea from Fang Xiu’s hand, his gaze settling on Haohao in Fang Xiu’s arms, and smilingly asked, "Is this your son? How old is he?" "Yes, he’s already six months old," Fang Xiu responded, playfully teasing Haohao and said to Zhou Guangsheng, "Haohao, say uncle." Haohao, the chubby little guy, wasn’t shy. Seeing Zhou Guangsheng, he actually grinned and reached out to be held. Actually, if it weren’t for Zhou Guangsheng’s bad relationship with Bai Jing, he would have had children long ago; seeing Haohao’s burly appearance, Zhou Guangsheng also liked him, and smilingly took Haohao into his arms. Fang Xiu, wary of her son urinating or any sudden issue, dared not walk away, so she sat beside Zhou Guangsheng, watching him play with Haohao. Meanwhile, Fang Pingying sat next to Luo Zhiyong, chatting with Instructor Su with a smile, "Instructor Su, you all are spending New Year at the military base this year, eh?" Instructor Su smiled and replied, "Yes, last year I took family leave to go home like Zhiyong, but this year I have no leave, so I’m spending New Year at the base." "And Sister-in-law Qiulin?" Instructor Su replied, "She went back home, the kids are at home, she said she was worried about the kids." "That’s true, it’s always with mothers, always worried when their kids aren’t around," Fang Pingying nodded, then noticing Zhou Guangsheng happily playing with Haohao, her eyes sparkled and she casually asked, "Chief Zhou, you didn’t have family leave this year either?" Zhou Guangsheng responded, "I do have leave, but there’s nothing much going on at home, so I was lazy to go back and let someone else use the leave." Fang Pingying nodded smilingly, silent because she had heard some things about Zhou Guangsheng’s family situation from Juzi. It seemed that because of the photos Juzi took last time, Zhou Guangsheng and Fei Baijing had already divorced, and now he was single. If he didn’t return to his hometown for New Year’s, he would definitely be by himself. On the other hand, after hearing Zhou Guangsheng’s words, Fang Xiu smiled and said to him, "Chief Zhou is really nice, if it were someone else, they’d probably be eager to go back for New Year." Zhou Guangsheng, being a down-to-earth person, felt a bit embarrassed being praised and scratched his head, "Overpraised, mainly because it’s just me alone, there’s nothing to do if I go back." "Chief Zhou, you haven’t gotten married yet, have you?" Li Yuchun asked casually from the side. Zhou Guangsheng was a bit awkward after hearing this, "No... it’s not that, it’s..." Seeing this, Fang Pingying quickly changed the subject, "Mom, just right, Instructor Su and Chief Zhou are here, they rarely get to have dumplings at the base, we’ve also prepared so many, let’s have dumplings tonight." After that, Fang Pingying asked the two with a smile, "Instructor, Chief, what do you think?" Instructor Su smiled amicably, "Yes, sister-in-law’s cooking skills are great, whatever it is will be delicious." Fang Pingying smiled at them and had Luo Zhiyong take them to the study to sit for a while; they hadn’t really seen each other since Luo Zhiyong was transferred here, likely they had some things to talk about. Once the men went in, Li Yuchun immediately pulled aside Fang Pingying, "Pingying, what’s the deal with Chief Zhou? He doesn’t seem old and is still not married." Li Yuchun saw their awkward expressions from just before and guessed there was probably something inappropriate. "He’s been married before, but his wife was not good, he divorced her," Fang Pingying whispered, then turned to Li Aihua, "Mom, you know his wife." "Who?" Li Aihua couldn’t recall who it was. Fang Pingying glanced at the study to ensure they couldn’t hear before she said, "It’s that Bai Jing." Li Aihua was extremely surprised, "The one who liked Zhiyong and then wanted to harm you, but ended up causing Juzi to miscarry, the one who works at the hospital?" Fang Pingying nodded, "Yes, that’s her." Li Yuchun didn’t know about these past events and asked Fang Pingying for more details. After knowing the whole story, she sighed with some regret, "Then this Chief Zhou really is unlucky, marrying such a woman." "But he has already divorced, divorced a while back," Fang Pingying said. Hearing this, it seemed like Li Yuchun sighed in relief for Zhou Guangsheng, "This means the divorce was probably his wife’s fault; he’s still a good person then." "He indeed is not bad, honest and family-oriented. I heard it’s just that the conditions were tough back home, also from a rural area, and he has many siblings, so the burden is somewhat heavy." Li Yuchun didn’t think this was a flaw, she remarked, "That’s normal, which family in the village doesn’t have burdens?" Fang Pingying felt that Li Yuchun was a bit off today; clearly, she didn’t know Zhou Guangsheng, but why was she continuously speaking up for him? Could it be that Li Yuchun had some intentions, wanting to match Zhou Guangsheng with someone? Of course, Fang Pingying wasn’t foolish; she could guess a bit of Li Yuchun’s thoughts, like how the scene of Zhou Guangsheng playing with Haohao was not only seen by her, but Li Yuchun saw it clearly too, Li Yuchun had already started thinking. But honestly speaking, for such a matter, Fang Pingying felt that one shouldn’t hastily try to matchmake unless both parties themselves felt it was suitable, and now that they both knew each other, if there really were such intentions, they would always find an opportunity. Moreover, Fang Xiucai had not been divorced from Luo Zhiming for long, and now with a young child, Fang Pingying was not too supportive of Fang Xiu finding someone so quickly; she felt it would be better for Fang Xiu to settle her mind and focus on some work for a while. Thus, she deliberately said to Li Yuchun, "Mom, you’re repeatedly speaking well of someone, have you taken a liking to him or something?" Li Yuchun had indeed thought of matching Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng after seeing Zhou Guangsheng not rejecting Haohao, and later learning that Zhou Guangsheng was unmarried; but she was just thinking about it and didn’t take it seriously, she just smiled and said, "Just casually asking."
