Chapter 227 Ran Qiuye Arrives
The firecrackers were modified, but neither Zhou Zheng nor He Yuzhu had the courage to hold them in their hands, so they had to pin the iron firecrackers on the stone pier at the gate of the courtyard.
"I've lit it." He Yuzhu leaned sideways and stretched out his hand, but the cigarette in his hand was still not lit on the fuse. His tone sounded like a question, a statement, and also like he was encouraging himself.
Zhou Zheng also hid far away, staring at the cigarette butt in He Yuzhu's hand with burning eyes. He thought, as long as He Yuzhu lit the fuse, he would run away. Even if the fuse burned fast, could it run faster than him?
"Wait--." Suddenly, a familiar figure came into Zhou Zheng's sight. Zhou Zheng was afraid of disturbing the person, so he quickly stopped He Yuzhu from lighting the fuse.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
But Zhou Zheng tried to stop him too late. He Yuzhu had already lit the fuse. And because the fuse burned too quickly, as soon as it was lit, a series of flames spurted out of the iron pipe, and the built-in "bullets" were shot into the air, erupting with dense roars.
He Yuzhu also ran after lighting the fuse, but his footing was unstable and he fell to the ground, right in front of the person who came.
The person who came was Ran Qiuye. At first, she was also frightened by the roar of firecrackers, but when she saw the funny look of He Yuzhu when he fell, she couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, the explosion outside the courtyard gate also attracted people who were watching TV inside the courtyard, and they left their seats and rushed to the courtyard gate.
He Yuzhu found that Ran Qiuye was looking at him, so he rolled over and got up, smiling awkwardly.
Zhou Zheng stepped forward and greeted him: "Teacher Ran, why are you here?"
Ran Qiuye came back to her senses when she heard Zhou Zheng's voice. She quickly took a cloth bag from the basket and handed it to Zhou Zheng with a smile, "Here, this is what my dad asked me to bring to you. Thank you for your help last time."
Zhou Zheng didn't pretend to be polite, but took the cloth bag and said with a smile: "Well, what's the matter with helping or not helping? We are old classmates, isn't it my duty to help you? How is your health now, uncle?"
Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye's expression brightened up again, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you even more. Ever since you gave my dad that bottle of medicinal wine, his old rheumatism problem seems to have been completely cured."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"Is it convenient?" Ran Qiuye looked at Zhou Zheng puzzledly.
In her impression, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui seemed to always be by Zhou Zheng's side, and she felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for her to be caught in the middle.
Zhou Zhengdao: "It's convenient, of course it is convenient, you will know if you follow me."
After hearing what Zhou Zheng said, Ran Qiuye no longer hesitated, smiled sweetly, and responded softly.
At this time, the disturbed residents also came to the front door.
Zhou Zheng looked a little unnatural when he saw the person coming. He laughed awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's New Year's Day. Zhuzi and I made two firecrackers. They're pretty loud..."
When he said this, someone responded, "Oh, it was quite loud. I thought the wall collapsed."
"Okay, okay, go back and watch TV if you have nothing else to do. It's almost time for the movie."
"Oh, I thought it was something else..."
With Zhou Zheng around, no one dared to say anything bad about him to his face. Plus, they were anxious to watch TV, so the crowd soon dispersed.
He Yuzhu took Ran Qiuye's bicycle attentively, "Teacher Ran, let me help you."
Ran Qiuye was a little embarrassed, "No, no, how can I trouble you? I can do it myself."
Zhou Zheng said: "Okay, let Brother Zhuzi help you. The stairs are quite high and it is really hard to push them up. Come on, come on, let's go meet my parents-in-law."
Ran Qiuye blushed and said angrily, "Zhou Zheng, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Zheng chuckled, "It was a slip of the tongue. What I meant was, my mother is back. I want to take you to meet her."
Ran Qiuye was stunned. In her memory, Zhou Zheng lost his mother when he was very young, and his father died when he was in elementary school. How come another mother popped up this time?
Although she was confused, she didn't ask and just said "hmm".
To be honest, she was still a little nervous.
If Zhou Zheng was not joking, that is to say, Zhou Zheng's mother returned to Sijiu City and came to Zhou Zheng's house, then Tian Xinyue and He Yushui must be there, and she didn't want them to discover her relationship with Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng just didn't know what Ran Qiuye was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would definitely feel disdainful. Why did he say that?
That’s because Zhou Zheng and Ran Qiuye really have no substantial relationship.
Half a year ago, Ran Qiuye's father accidentally fell at a bus stop and was seen by Zhou Zheng who happened to pass by. He helped send him to the hospital. It was not until Ran Qiuye came to the hospital that Zhou Zheng realized that the person he saved was Ran Qiuye's father.
Since he is the father of his old classmate, Zhou Zheng will not treat him as an ordinary person.
So he took out the "healing wine" and gave it to Ran Qiuye, asking Ran Qiuye to apply the medicinal wine on the affected area of her father, so as to speed up Ran's father's recovery time.
During that period, in order to thank Zhou Zheng, Ran Qiuye often made some desserts and sent them to Zhou Zheng's research institute.
Zhou Zheng certainly wouldn't take other people's things for free, so he would usually buy a bunch of snacks from the system space and send them to Ran Qiuye's school. As time went by, it seemed like the two of them were in a relationship.
But in reality, nothing happened.
Zhou Zheng took Ran Qiuye into the east courtyard. He Yuzhu parked Ran Qiuye's bicycle at the gate of the east courtyard and followed them into the courtyard.
This was not the first time Ran Qiuye came to Zhou Zheng's house, so she did not feel unfamiliar.
Zhou Zheng took her into the house. Yu Wanrong, He Daqing, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui all looked at Zhou Zheng, while also looking at Ran Qiuye.
Before they could even speak, Zhou Zheng took the lead in introducing Ran Qiuye.
He said to Yu Wanrong, "Mom, this is Ran Qiuye, my junior high school classmate. I heard that you are back, so I came to see you specially."
Yu Wanrong's eyes lit up. Hey, another beautiful girl.
She smiled and said, "Hello, Hanqing's classmate. Can I call you Xiaoran?"
Ran Qiuye is a gentle person both in the original novel and now. When she heard Yu Wanrong's friendly tone, her reserved aura disappeared and she showed a bright smile, "Hello, Aunt Zhou, just call me Xiao Ran."
As she spoke, she walked towards Yu Wanrong.
Zhou Zheng and He Yuzhu followed behind him.
Yu Wanrong looked at the people in the room and was in a good mood. She instructed Zhou Zhenglai, "Hanqing, go and prepare some dishes. We will have a meal together this afternoon."
He Daqing was also instructing He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, go and help Zhengzi."
Yu Wanrong quickly declined, "Well, Brother He, don't be so polite, just let my Hanqing do it. My Hanqing will cook lunch at noon, let him show off his cooking skills."
The reason why Yu Wanrong was so polite to He Daqing was because of He Yushui's face.
After talking for an afternoon, she vaguely heard some clues from the conversation, that is, He Yushui first followed her Zhou Zheng, and then with the help of He Yushui, her Zhou Zheng married several wives.
This seems to be a sign of expansion for her Zhou family. How can she not be happy? Xiao Yushui is really generous.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Tian Xinyue is a bad person.
In Yu Wanrong's eyes, Tian Xinyue was well-educated, clear-headed, and more suitable to be the hostess of the Zhou family, but there was a hint of lack of magnanimity between her brows.
