In response, Bai Zhi pulled Xiao Feng out and asked him to sit at the table. She turned to go to the kitchen and gave him the rest of the white porridge and side dishes, and then returned to the kitchen to fry two poached eggs.

Hu Changlin came in from the yard and handed silvers and a cloth bag to Bai Zhi: “This is the money from melons, and this is the seeds that Boss Chen asked to give to you. What are these seeds for?” Hu Changlin was curious. Boss Chen sent these seeds, so their naturally not ordinary seeds.

Bai Zhi took the cloth bag and smile: “This is the seeds that will make us rich.”

Hu Changlin was happy. He always believed what Bai Zhi said. Even if it was a joke, he believed it.

“Who is this little brother?” Hu Changlin sat down next to Xiao Feng and looked at him. Xiao Feng was concentrating on eating the porridge, he seemed to be very hungry.

Bai Zhi looked up to the yard. When she saw that no one was there,  she said: “Hu Bo, he is Zhou Xiaofeng, who escaped from the military camp. Hu Feng asked him to come here and live with us. If anyone asks, just tell them he is a child of your distant relatives. You cannot say that he came from the military camp. Deserting the military is a big crime.”

After hearing those words, Hu Changlin immediately became excited. He quickly grabbed Zhou Xiaofeng’s arm and asked: “Xiaofeng, how is Hu Feng? Is he doing good?”

Zhou Xiaofeng nodded his head again and again: “He is fine. Now, he works in the kitchen camp and doesn’t need to go to the battlefield.”

Hu Changlin was relieved after hearing it: “It’s good not to go on the battlefield!”

Bai Zhi was afraid he might forget what she said, so she said once again: “Hu Bo, don’t spill any beans about Xiaofeng.”

Hu Changlin nodded his head: “Rest assured, I understand. I won’t say anything about it outside. Don’t tell your mother and Sue. Women like to talk trivial things, you can’t let them spill the beans.”

Hu Changlin has never been a talkative person. Even if Bai Zhi didn’t tell him to do so, he was not planning to say anything.

As soon as Zhou Xiaofeng finished eating, Zhou Awu and Zhao Lan returned with the pushcart.

Zhou Awu came into the house with a heavy wooden barrel and went to the kitchen while saying: “This will be the last meal. Song Gong will come over and ask you to check the house. Once you’re done, you will pay the bill. If there is no problem, they will leave before noon. ”

When Zhou Awu put the barrel in the kitchen, he turned back and found that there was an unfamiliar teenager in the room: “Hmm? Whose kid is this? Why is he eating in our house?”

Bai Zhi said to Zhou Xiaofeng: “Xiaofeng, this is Zhou Awu. It is a coincidence that your surname is also Zhou, so call him Awu Dage.”

Zhou Xiaofeng hurriedly obeyed and called Zhou Awu, big brother.

Zhou Awu had some doubt: “Is he from our village? I’ve never seen him before.” Although he hasn’t lived in the village for a long time, he has already regarded Huangtuo Village and Hu Family’s house as his home.

Bai Zhi went close to Zhou Awu and whispered a few words. Zhou Awu’s face drastically changed. He was both surprised and happy.

“Don’t get too excited, calm down!”

Zhou Awu knows that he should calm down himself, but how can he be calm? He was Zhou Gang’s son, Zhou Gang was his cousin!

Moreover, Fu Zheng was still alive. For three years, he has always felt ashamed of leaving Fu Zheng and letting him face the enemies alone. He thought Fu Zheng has died. He thought that he’ll never be able to make up for his sin for the rest of his life.

Zhou Gang was his cousin, meaning Zhou Xiaofeng was his nephew. So how can he not get excited after meeting a close relative in his hometown? How can he calm down?
