Liu Gang’s plan was to find this Liu Weihong and use this matter to make Gu Junming give up participating in the big drill. But he never found out, and ti ran out. However, the last page made it very clear.
"I’ve already found her, and I can use this to get Gu Junming to promote ."
Liu Gang was still thinking about how to rise in rank and wealth before he died; he was truly persistent.
Gu Junming clenched his fist. Found Liu Weihong? Is my mother still alive? But afterward, there was no more writing, only a ticket.
It was a ticket to a park, dated last winter, at the Children’s Park.
Liu Gang didn’t have kids, and besides so equipnt that children like, there’s nothing much attractive in the park.
The military complex here is at the south end of the city, while the Children’s Park is at the north, so probably not a place you’d visit often without a reason.
What does this an? Could it be that Liu Weihong was seen in this park? He carefully examined the ticket again.
He noticed so faint handwriting on the ticket, likely from a pen that was running out of ink.
Tilting it, he saw the na of a shop: Xiao Hong Grocery.
Sun Chan looked at Gu Junming curiously as he inspected the ticket, "What are you doing?"
"I’m thinking maybe this is a clue left about my mother, at the Xiao Hong Grocery near the park. I must go and see." He said and was about to head out.
Sun Chan pulled him back, "You have to finish eating first."
"I’m a bit impatient." Gu Junming said excitedly.
Sun Chan laughed, "It’s right there, it won’t run away, will it? Eat properly, I’ll go with you later."
She pressed Gu Junming back into his seat, "You always tell to eat well, but you don’t seem to be that disciplined yourself, which disappoints ."
Gu Junming laughed, "Alright, I got it. I’ll listen to you and eat well, and we’ll go to the park after dinner."
"Okay." Sun Chan and Gu Junming quickly finished their al, then took a taxi to the park. Sun Chan said taking the bus would be fine, but Gu Junming refused.
"Think about your belly, listen to ."
"Okay, I’ll follow your lead, let’s check out the Xiao Hong Grocery, and maybe take a stroll too."
Gu Junming held Sun Chan’s hand tightly, "I’m sorry, other n can casually take their wives out to play, but I make you wait, even going out to have fun feels like a luxury."
Sun Chan laughed, "I know what you’re trying to say, I’m not upset. I think it’s good; if all dreams ca true quickly, we might not feel that joy."
Gu Junming moved by it, held her hand tightly. People at the complex saw the couple again, walking affectionately and sweetly, truly an enviable sight. Zhuang Lin glanced over and pouted, jealousy was evident.
When will I ever have such a good relationship with my husband?
A military wife chuckled, "When I was young, my husband treated this way too. Alas, now he gets annoyed just seeing . Seeing them reminds of us when we were young, our relationship was so good then."
Zhuang Lin pouted, thinking, I never had it as good even when I was young, humph!
Sun Chan and Gu Junming took a taxi to the park, which was quite large and had a pleasant environnt, lush greenery everywhere. From the gate, you could see many people strolling, so with children playing, creating a very warm atmosphere.
Li Wanrou said, "There doesn’t seem to be a Xiao Hong Grocery here?"
"Let’s keep looking."
The two searched for a while nearby but didn’t see any grocery store. Although there were many vendors, there were only a few grocery stores, mostly snack bars, toy shops, photo studios, etc.
They searched all around but found nothing. Gu Junming frowned, "Could I be mistaken?"
Sun Chan thought for a mont, "I don’t think so, Liu Gang was so certain, he must have confird it would be here."
Gu Junming said, "But there’s nothing here, I’m also worried it might be a mistake."
Sun Chan asked Gu Junming, "Could it be the owner is called Xiao Hong? How about we ask at each grocery around here?"
"Alright." Gu Junming agreed and they began inquiring together.
However, none of the small vendors had heard of Xiao Hong, nor did they have any impression of Liu Weihong.
The two left the last vendor nearby, both sighed, truly disappointed!
Sun Chan said, "Let’s go inside the park and take a look, we shouldn’t co all this way for nothing."
"Okay, I’ll take you to have a look, eat whatever you want."
They both walked into the park, where the flowers, grass, and trees were lush, with a lake in the middle where people were boating, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The wind on the slope was also refreshing, making Gu Junming feel comfortable.
Sun Chan laughed, "It’s really nice here. If we moved south, it’d be great to have such cool places too."
It’s said the south is quite hot, and such weather should be rare.
Gu Junming glanced at Sun Chan, her fair complexion, and because of pregnancy, her chin was also round. Truly a porcelain doll-like beauty, if sent to such a hot environnt she’d likely suffer. How could it be handled? Perhaps let her return north for a few months during the hottest tis? Her mother could probably take good care of her?
Sun Chan said, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Junming was about to speak when suddenly a voice behind them said, "You’ve shortchanged three cents!"
"Ah, I didn’t notice." said a man with a child, smiling, "Thank you."
"No need to be cute, goodbye little friend," the person said goodbye to the child and then turned away.
Gu Junming suddenly realized.
It turns out there’s a small vendor inside the park too, with the shop na Xiao Hong. The setting looks nice, with drinks and various snacks inside. Just now, a girl ca chasing out, probably under fifteen, quite pretty, her ponytail swaying gently as she walked.
Sun Chan looked at Gu Junming, "What’s wrong? Your expression is odd."
Gu Junming said, "This girl’s voice sounds just like my mother’s."
At that ti he was very young, but his mother left an indelible impression on him, especially how she spoke to him. He always kept that in his mind, and this girl’s voice was quite similar!
He followed the girl inside, Sun Chan’s heart also raced as they walked in.
"Mom! How about we have fried dumplings for lunch?" the girl laughed.
"This child, it’s so early and you’re already thinking about lunch? You really have no sense!"
"I’m just a foodie, hehe, business looks good today! Of course, we should improve our lives a bit!" the girl said with a smile.
"Alright, I’ll let you have your way."
