BTTS 574




 Chapter 574. Public safety concern


At old Madam Jiang's age, they liked such a young man. They looked very energetic.

"He must be very tired from the journey. I'm going to buy groceries. Don't cook here. Come over and have a meal with us." Old Madam Jiang stated.

"Let Qing Bai get the groceries. Auntie, go and see if Mei Li and the others are free. If they are, call them over here to eat together." Lin Qing He spoke.

"Auntie, go call. I'll go buy." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Aunt Jiang smiled agreed. She went to call them. Deputy Chief Jiang wasn't at home. He received a call. There was a place with public safety problem. So he didn't come back for dinner.

Coincidentally, Xue Mei Li didn't need to cook now. She brought her few-year-old daughter Jiang Yu and her son Jiang Geng over.

Zhou Qing Bai went grocery shopping. Zhou Gui Lai picked up an apple and peeled it for his mom. He spoke, "Mom, you bought a car here? How are you going to drive it back later? I heard there public safety concern outside! "

There weren't at this time. The first highway will be built in 1988.

"If it's not safe, then sell it. Go to the capital and buy another one." Lin Qing He responded.

"Such a tyrant move?" Zhou Gui Lai laughed.

Lin Qing He said, "It's your father who likes to toss around. I hadn't approve of buying it. He insisted that it might be useful to when going to the hospital."

"It's all right. It's the first time my dad has experienced this. He wasn't there to accompany ours before." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Although all three brothers had grown up this way, the felt their dad had picked up the bargain. When he returned, they were all big. What did he understand?

It was inevitable to be nervous.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. If it was unsafe outside, she wouldn't agree to driving it back. The road wasn't easy travel. Lin Qing He didn't dare to imagine if any accident occurs.

So when the childbirth is over and it is time to return, they can sell simply it. Although they would lose money, at least they had bought a lot of shops and houses. So they had profited.

"By the way, who is that friendly Granny Jiang?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.

Lin Qing He told him about the god-relationship. Once she finished, he understood. At this time, Mei Li, Jiang Geng, and Jiang Yu arrived.

"This is Auntie Xue?" Zhou Gui Lai stood up and smiled.

"This is Third? So tall?" Xue Mei Li asked in surprise.

She and Deputy Chief Jiang weren't short. She was about 1.6m tall, while Deputy Chief Jiang was a bit under 1.8m tall. She was definitely shocked when seeing Zhou Gui Lai's height now.

"Not tall." Zhou Gui Lai grinned. Then he looked at Jiang Geng: "Is this my god-brother?"

"Third Brother." Jiang Geng was a little embarrassed, but still he greeted.

"Before I came, I didn't expect that I would gain a god-brother and didn't prepare a gift for you. If you have time tomorrow, take me around. I will make up for it, when you find something you like." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Jiang Geng was only two years younger than him. He was fifteen this year and was a little over 1.7m tall. Which wasn't short. Naturally, he appeared much shorter if he walk with Zhou Gui Lai.

Zhou Gui Lai hooked his shoulders and they looked like two brothers.

Lin Qing He amusedly scolded: "Don't make fun of Xiao Geng. You two brothers get to know each other first. Don't act so familiar."

Of the three sons, Third was the most sociable. Especially easy to become close with. No matter who, he can converse with them.

"What act familiar? He's my god-brother." Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "Second Brother said I can only stay here for half a month. After half a month, I have to go back and replace him. At that time, Xiao Geng, would you come with me? Go and stay in the capital for a few days and then return with your second brother."

Jiang Geng wanted to. He hadn't been to the capital before. So he turned at his mom.

"Go back and ask your dad. If your dad approve, then I have nothing to say." Xue Mei Li merrily said.

It can be considered that seen old Zhou family's inherited trait. They were all so hospitable and open.

Jiang Geng was overjoyed. His mom agreed, so his dad agreed too.

"If you want to go, bring Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang has always wanted to go to Heavenly Gate. Third, you can take more pictures," Lin Qing He spoke.

"I brought my camera with me. I will take a picture of you first. Last time, you and Dad came, you forgot to bring it. Mom, you have to keep your pregnancy photos!" Zhou Gui Lai declared.

He went in and took the camera out. Lin Qing He didn't want to take pictures: "I'm so fat. don't take pictures."

"Not fat, Mom. You are called plump. If you were born in the Tang Dynasty, you would have to be the second concubine Yang. Extremely pretty." Zhou Gui Lai coaxed.

"There isn't a word of truth from your mouth." Lin Qing He amusedly scolded. Still, she also got up to take a group photo.

"Take pictures? I haven't changed my clothes." Xue Mei Li felt shy.

"Auntie Xue, you have such a good aura. No matter, where you stand, you are a wonderful scenery.  So you don't need to specially change clothes." Zhou Gui Lai's comforting words smoothly rolled out.

Xue Mei Li felt extremely happy.

Lin Qing He was sighed. She remembered that the stinky third child was a master flirter. Just listen to what he said.

Zhou Gui Lai asked Jiang Geng to call his grandparents from next door to come over to take a photo together. He said, "I will wash out two more."

Zhou Qing Bai came back from buying groceries. Zhou Gui Lai went over to help him. Young Geng went to call people.

"Uncle Jiang, Third is here for half a month. He will go back and change with his second brother. Would you like to join Xiao Geng and go back with him? Stay there for a few days first. Afterward, come back with Second." Lin Qing He and Xue Mei Li watched Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain. Then she spoke with old Mister Jiang.

"Alright. We'll stay there for a few days when the time comes. I'll go and look around." At this, old Mister Jiang answered without a second thought.

"Go by yourself?" Old Madam Jiang couldn't help utter.

"Then you want to follow along?" Old Mister Jiang looked at her.

"It's an good idea to go together. The weather is good now. It will be cold later. Won't be convenient to go out." Old Madam Jiang stated.

"Together then." Lin Qing He nodded.

So what was originally Jiang Geng going over became grandparents and grandchild going together. Still, it wasn't a problem.

Gang Zi had already moved out to live with his eldest brother. Let Second and Third place live in their room. It will be no problem for the grandparents and grandchild to stay in the room next door.

Lin Qing He asked why Deputy Chief Jiang hadn't come yet.

"He will be busy until eight or nine o'clock tonight. Our area is well managed, but the one in front is rather chaotic." Xue Mei Li told.

"I heard that someone was robbing on a motorcycle earlier. So be careful when you go out." Old Mister Jiang warned.

Lin Qing He knew that 1980s and 1990s was a chaotic period. After the first three years of 80's crackdown, it was actually much better now. Before, it was truly chaotic. People blocked the road and committed daylight robbery.

It was due to the opening up, the gangsters, who were suppressed, began to feel fearless. This was caused by shortage of jobs after returning to the city.

There were many reasons. But in general, the current big cities were relatively stable.
