Chapter 331 We Northeasterners all love raising big cats
Reading Settings
When Wei Zhongping and his group of people crept over, he almost couldn't resist pressing his philtrum on the spot to give himself first aid.
"Uncle, there are outsiders here, please calm down!" Bai Nuo quickly ran over and grabbed her uncle's arm, afraid that her uncle would not be able to handle the shock and would roll his eyes at her.
Fortunately, the distinction between insiders and outsiders was a rule ingrained in the bones of the Seven Waters Brigade. After being reminded by Bai Nuo, Wei Zhongping finally looked unfocusedly at the three men and women not far away.
Wei Zhongping calmed himself down and finally composed himself. He put on an awkward but polite smile and looked at the three members of the Zhu family, saying, "I wonder what brings you gentlemen to our Qishui Brigade? My two children are still young, so please forgive them if they are not in a proper position."
After saying that, Wei Zhongping immediately looked at the brat who was still standing there dumbfounded, frowned slightly, and said with a stern face, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here. I asked you two to come up the mountain to walk the big cat and the little dog. It's already noon and you still don't know to go home for lunch."
Fang Meng pursed his lips tightly. His uncle's ability to pretend to be stupid while firmly treating the other party as a fool was getting stronger and stronger.
Just as Fang Meng was leading Hua Hua and Fu Gui toward Wei Zhongping, Wei Zhongping took advantage of the brief moment to quickly ask the little girl beside him, "Who are those three people? Should we find a chance to report them to the police?"
"No need. One of them is a policeman, and the other two are from Beijing. Just ignore them." Bai Nuo really didn't want to deal with the Zhu family at all.
She doesn't lack family, and at almost seventeen years old, she doesn't need a father.
Even if the other party may have a difficult situation that most people can understand, as the person involved, she can only say "respect" but doesn't want to understand.
Wei Zhongping's eyes flickered slightly. After Fang Meng walked to his side, he raised his head and smiled with an honest and simple face, looking at the three people not far away, appearing to be simple-minded and ignorant.
"Are you all lost around here? Weren't you scared by my two kids?" Wei Zhongping said, reaching out to pat Hua Hua's big head. Then he chuckled and said, "Hey, judging from your clothes, you three don't look like people from the countryside around here. Many families here love to keep big cats and dogs, which are definitely good at guarding the house. I didn't expect to scare you three today. I'm so sorry, so sorry."
"Comrade, we are..." Zhu Bao looked speechlessly at the captain who was talking to himself and trying to turn the tide with his other strengths. He had just opened his mouth when the other party acted as if he hadn't heard him.
Wei Zhongping pretended that he couldn't hear well, turned his head and glared at Bai Nuo and Fang Meng, scolding them: "I told you two to avoid outsiders, but you wouldn't listen. Hurry up and go home. Your aunt is waiting for you to eat. And you little girl, you brought out your grandfather's precious sniper rifle again. I've already told you that your grandfather brought it back from the battlefield and that you're not allowed to touch it. You just wouldn't listen. Hurry up and go back and return the gun to your grandfather."
Looking at the captain in front of him, who was acting so naturally and genuinely like a rogue, Bai Nuo almost couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. However, he was glared at fiercely and quickly nodded, "I understand, I understand, we'll take them down now."
After saying that, she ignored the three people, figuring her captain would get rid of them. She grabbed her sniper rifle, pulled Fang Meng along, and called to Hua Hua and Fu Gui'er as they ran down the mountain.
Seeing Bai Nuo leave so abruptly, Zu Guo hurriedly called out, "Hey, little..."
"Comrades, we don't know what brings you here. Are you looking for someone? Do you need our help? Don't worry, we country folk are very hospitable. Just tell us what you need!"
Wei Zhongping, accompanied by his two younger brothers, stood smiling in front of the three men. The three were burly men from Northeast China, each carrying a homemade gun. Although they were smiling, their smiles were unsettling.
It's as if if he really dared to chase after that girl, these three uncles would actually raise their guns and shoot him on the spot.
Zhu Guo immediately gave up and quietly moved closer to his uncle. He was a useless young man whose biggest wish was to sponge off his parents and his older brother and sister-in-law, and who would lie down and live a life of quiet desperation.
Zhu Kaixuan remained silent throughout, his gaze fixed on the little girl's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight. Only then did he let out a soft sigh, his expression one of indescribable desolation, yet he had no choice but to face reality.
His daughter resented him and refused to acknowledge him.
Zhu Kaixuan then looked at the captain in front of him. He realized that he had misunderstood before. This captain treated his daughter and the Fang family boy very well. He was willing to risk unknown dangers to come up the mountain to find them. Now he was pretending to be stupid and confusing the truth. This was enough to prove that he really treated those two children as his own nephews and nieces.
Thinking back to how close my daughter had been to this man just now...
Zhu Kaixuan suppressed his heartache and forced a polite smile.
"Excuse me, sir, we got lost around here and accidentally wandered this way. We're planning to go back to the county town now. Could you please point us to a road that leads directly out of the mountains?"
The three members of the Zhu family followed the mountain path pointed out by Wei Zhongping, bypassing Qishui Brigade on the other side, and headed towards the county.
"Uncle, are we just leaving like this? Aren't we going to acknowledge our sister?" Zhu Guo asked regretfully as he walked away, looking back over his shoulder.
Zhu Kaixuan sighed softly and shook his head with a wry smile: "That child doesn't want to acknowledge me. She doesn't even want to have anything to do with our family. Let's leave it at that for now. I acted impulsively and rushed over to find her without even giving her a proper mental preparation."
But seeing that she's doing well here, and the people in this production team treat her very well, that's enough. I'll deal with the rest later. At least I need to act like a father first.”
"What does a father look like?" Zhu Guo scratched his head in confusion. Wasn't his uncle his little sister's biological father? What kind of father should he be like? His uncle…
Zhu Guo took a closer look at his uncle's face, the most handsome among all the men in the family, and his confusion deepened.
This... he's not disfigured. Isn't this father much better looking than his biological father?
Meanwhile, Wei Zhongping hurriedly returned to the brigade headquarters, pushed open the door to his office, and sure enough, saw the two brats inside.
Wei Zhongping, who was about to go in, suddenly stopped. His face stiffened as he pointed at the large thing lying on the floor next to the desk and asked in a trembling voice, "Bai Xiaonuo, tell me, what is that?"
Bai Nuo looked at her captain uncle with an innocent expression, gave a shy smile, and tentatively said, "Um... Big Cat!"
