106, Ning City
When Jing Qingxin saw Gao Shen's solemn expression, he looked around and watched carefully the movements around him, he instantly understood his actions. When Gao Shen looked back at her, Jing Qingxin immediately waved his hand and took out a small backpack.
Gao Shen smiled softly at the actions that followed Jing Qingxin, then picked up the basket, threw it behind her, carrying a military bag in her hand.
Seeing that everything was right, Jing Qingxin raised her hand and knocked on the courtyard door rhythmically!
"Who?" A gentle male voice came from the yard.
In an instant, Gaoshen's expression added a hint of warmth, and he replied loudly: "Teacher, it's me, Gaoshen!"
After the words were finished, the two people standing outside the door immediately heard a sound from the yard. Then, the gate of the yard opened. There was a man about fifty years old standing inside the gate. He was thin, his skin was a little dry, and his eyes were marked with traces of time, but his temperament was very gentle and elegant. It was not difficult to see the aura of a book and literary man that he exuded.
"Xiaoshen, it's really you! Why did you come to Ning City?" Old Zhang asked excitedly. The two masters and apprentices had not seen each other for six years. The last time they met was before Gaoshen set out to join the army.
"Teacher, have you lived well with your teacher's wife in the past few years?" said Gaoshen with deep touching care. It was obvious that the teacher had lost a lot and had aged a little. It was different from the bright teacher he remembered. He had suffered hardships!
"Okay, okay~ we are both fine! Even if you care about you, you are too. Once you join the army and become a soldier, you will not come back to see us." Old Zhang couldn't help but resentful.
The couple had no children and always loved Gao Shen as their own children, but they could only be a teacher-student relationship. Gao Yaohua's fool didn't agree to let Gao Shen recognize them as a relative, so they had to be called the master-apprentice relationship for a long time, but this friendship would not change because of this.
"Old Zhang, Gaoshen, let's talk about it when we enter the house!" Jing Qingxin said with a smile. Although she could understand the reunion after the two masters and apprentices separated for a few years, it was not a big deal to block the door and reminisce about the past.
Jing Qingxin also clearly felt that compared to the time when she saw Liu Gang, the depth at this moment was more touching.
Old Zhang quickly looked at Jing Qingxin, then greeted: "Yes, come in quickly! Your master's wife will be back by noon, and you don't send a telegram in advance. We don't know when you will come, and we are not prepared."
While guiding them into the house, Old Zhang said, "A while ago, Gaoshen's letter surprised them a lot. Of course, what was unexpected was the content of the letter."
The couple discussed it all night and agreed to Gao Shen's proposal. The letter was not very detailed, but Gao Shen's words were very serious and sincere. This was also the first time Gao Shen said he asked them both.
They trust Gaoshen. Although they don’t know the reason, they believe Gaoshen and must have his own difficulties and reasons. Therefore, they agreed without much hesitation!
What's more, the couple always wanted to have a child, even if they were adopting a relationship, and the wife wanted to have a daughter, which was exactly what they wanted.
However, no other letters from Gaoshen were received later, and there was no further information about the subsequent recognition of relatives, so the couple had to wait patiently.
"No need to prepare anything, we are not outsiders." Gao Shen said bluntly.
Old Zhang smiled and said, "You have to prepare the food!"
"No, we brought the ingredients!" Gao Shen said with a chuckling.
Suddenly, Old Zhang glared, this is OK?! He was speechless! Well, the couple saved even the money for food!
Gao Shen pulled Jing Qingxin to his side and introduced with a smile: "Teacher, this is my wife Jing Qingxin, your goddaughter!"
"What? When did you get married?" Old Zhang asked in surprise with a gentle expression on his face.
It was not that he shouted at the monster, but that Gaoshen did not mention the relationship between the two in his previous letter, but just sincerely asked them to recognize a girl as his daughter.
"Not yet, after we recognize your family, we will hold a banquet." Gao Shen replied briskly.
Jing Qingxin kept smiling at the interaction between Gaoshen and Mr. Zhang. It was rare to see Gaoshen in front of others, even if he was not close to his relatives, fortunately, the couple Zhang and his wife could appropriately fill the gap from the care of their elders.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang~, my name is Jing Qingxin. I'll cause trouble for you this time!" Jing Qingxin bowed slightly to say hello with a sweet smile, looking very well-behaved and polite.
Whether the old couple Zhang and his wife agreed to help because of Gaoshen's affection or other reasons, she was grateful. If she wanted to be with Gaoshen, in this era, she needed to fabricate an identity certificate.
Moreover, Mr. Zhang and his wife also have different emotional positions for seniors. In short, she will get along well with the two olds and will inevitably leave a good impression. What Grand Secret cares about is what she cares about.
"Don't be polite to us! We are all family~! We've been sitting there for a long time, sit and chat~!" Zhang Laoxiao said. His first impression of Jing Qingxin was still good. His eyes were clean, his words and deeds were polite, not to mention his appearance was outstanding.
Then, the three of them sat in the main hall and chatted, mainly about the question and answer between Mr. Zhang and Senior. The content they talked about was nothing more than the situation of the other party during the years they had been separated.
Jing Qingxin listened quietly for a while, and saw them chatting hard, and didn't bother me. She looked at the whole hall. The layout was very simple, with simple tables and wooden stools, and there was no other furniture, but it was cleaned up.
There were several farming tools placed against the wall. When she first entered the yard, she saw a small piece of vegetable field plowing on the wall. From this, she could see that the life of the old couple Zhang and his wife was very poor and simple.
After looking at the basket they brought, Jing Qingxin looked at the basket they brought, and then took out all the things in the basket and placed them on the table.
Two pheasants, some scattered mushrooms and fungus, a large bag of ‘peach blossom cake’, a bag of special flower tea, a bag of red dates and wolfberry, some Chinese herbal medicines, and a small bamboo basket of fresh peaches.
After sorting it out, Jing Qingxin walked to the stove with a bamboo basket, washed the peaches with water, and then took a small iron porcelain basin to store it. In fact, the vegetables, fruits and melons grown in the "Liuguang Brocade" have their own spiritual energy and can be eaten without cleaning it. But outsiders don't know, so they still have to be done.
Jing Qingxin held a small basin and placed it on the table in the main hall. She handed a peach to Mr. Zhang and Gao Shen, one of them. It was noon that she would eat a peach as a fruit before the meal.
"Oh, this peach is so sweet! Suyun and I haven't eaten peaches for a long time. I really miss the taste." Old Zhang said with emotion.
"Don't worry~ Mr. Zhang, there are more than a dozen more, and the master's wife is there to keep!" Jing Qingxin said with a happy smile, eased Mr. Zhang's temporarily depressed mood.
"Okay~, Suyun must be very happy to see you when she comes back!" Old Zhang said with a smile. The family has not been lively for a long time.
