Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

"Brother Zhou Rui."

"Brother Qin?"

Zhou Rui blinked, not expecting Qin Zhan to bring his wife and children to his door today.

"How did you find me?"

"Hehe... I asked Brother Guoqiang. I originally wanted him to bring us here, but he had a mission and couldn't come, so I drove here myself."

As Qin Zhan spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Rui's hand.

The woman next to her walked over: "This must be Xiao Rui, right? We met once before, but you left before I could even thank you."

"Hello, I'm Zhou Rui."

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, looking at the woman and child in front of him.

Qin Zhan turned around and took the child from the woman's arms: "Brother Zhou Rui, let me introduce you. This is my wife, He Jing. You can call her sister-in-law."

"Come here, call him uncle. This is the great hero who saved you at the market last time."

The child in Qin Zhan's arms had bright, curious eyes, looking around curiously, completely different from when Zhou Rui held him in his arms last time.

The child was unconscious last time, with his eyes closed, which was heartbreaking.

"Susu, Susu who defeated many big bad guys. Isn't she like Wu Song? Hug."

The little boy seemed unaffected by being abducted by human traffickers, and reached out his hand to Zhou Rui.

"Wu Song?"

Zhou Rui reached out and took the little boy in a daze, but he didn't know what his relationship with Wu Song was.

"Xiao Tao was abducted that day, and he was quite frightened before he was drugged. His family told him about you to comfort him."

"They say you're a hero with amazing martial arts skills, and to make a comparison, they portray you as just as powerful as Wu Song."

He Jing stood to the side, patting Qin Tao's head, and explained to Zhou Rui.

At this moment, An'an quietly stood next to Zhou Rui, tilting her head to look at the little boy in Zhou Rui's arms. She felt a little strange and a little worried; perhaps this person had come to take her brother away.

"Susu, you're as powerful as Wu Song, so have you ever fought Big Axe?"

Two- or three-year-old children may not speak clearly, but fortunately, adults can understand them.

"My second brother has never fought a big tiger because he's never seen one. But he has fought a black bear. He killed the black bear with one punch."

Before Zhou Rui could answer the question, An An's clear voice rang out.

In order to win the greatest honor for Zhou Rui, she exaggerated a bit, saying that she had clearly used an axe last time.

Qin Tao looked down and saw a little girl standing next to Zhou Rui's leg. She was dressed in a beautiful Su En outfit, with a roe deer fur hat on her head and two pointed little horns.

"Who are you, miss? How do you know Su Su killed Black Bear with her fists?"

Qin Tao saw that An'an was cute, with big, bright eyes, and struggled to get down.

"This is your uncle's younger sister, named An'an. If we're going to go by that, you should call her aunt."

Zhou Rui smiled and put Qin Tao down. Two or three-year-old Qin Tao was much shorter than An An, who had short legs.

"aunt?"

Qin Tao rolled his eyes, seemingly not understanding. Then he turned to look at Qin Rui, who, in his memory, was already his youngest aunt.

"Hey, baby, sweetie, Auntie's got you some candy."

An'an didn't hear the doubt in Qin Tao's words and thought that Qin Tao was really calling her, so she took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and put it in Qin Tao's palm.

In her heart, those who called her aunt were like little rice cakes, someone who needed to be coaxed with a piece of candy.

Qin Zhan and He Jing stood aside, finding it somewhat amusing.

This little girl is so young, yet she looks like a little adult. It seems she's the girl they inquired about who went to the market with Zhou Rui.

"Little brother Zhou Rui, thank you for coming up the mountain to save us last time."

Qin Rui walked up and greeted Zhou Rui with a smile, but the way she addressed him had changed.

She called him "comrade" when they were in the mountains, but now that he's at home, she calls him "little brother," which shows that she was influenced by her older brother and sister-in-law.

Their family had already crossed paths with Zhou Rui twice, and both times they had received favors from him, so their feelings towards him were naturally somewhat different.

"No need to thank me. It wasn't just my achievement; my master and Uncle Gu also contributed."

At this moment, Qin Zhan also saw Wang Shouye and Gu Jiacheng standing in the crowd.

"Wang Pao, Gu family's little brother, thank you, thank you."

Qin Zhan was very good at handling things, and he quickly stepped forward to shake Wang Shouye's hand.

"Young Master Gu, where is your father? Why isn't he here?"

"My dad has a mission and is still on the mountain with Uncle Lin."

"Not back yet?"

Qin Zhan knew that something else had happened when they came down the mountain that day, but he didn't ask. He worked for the government and knew that Lin Guoqiang's department had some things that needed to be kept secret.

"not yet."

Gu Jiacheng wasn't very good at talking, and his answers were always very brief.

At this time, Zhao Youzhi, Zhou Shumin and others gathered outside, and even Lin Qiuyue and several other female educated youths came out to watch the excitement.

"Who did Ruiwa meet? They look so impressive, even arriving in a car."

"Is he the forestry station manager? Didn't you say that Ruiwa has a good relationship with the forestry station manager? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get so many temporary worker positions."

"No, the forestry station chief isn't qualified to drive a car. This guy is definitely a higher-ranking official than the forestry station chief, and he looks like a city dweller."

"Hey, Qiuyue, look at that woman, she's very pretty!"

The educated youth had a different focus. Yang Ping stood next to Lin Qiuyue and whispered something.

"What does it matter to me whether other people are pretty or not?"

Lin Qiuyue's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was steady.

However, Yu Sitian, who grew up with Lin Qiuyue, still sensed something different.

"Yueyue, you really don't have any feelings for Comrade Zhou Rui?"

"Look at him, he starts off by calling me 'Little Brother Zhou Rui.' Ugh~ that's a bit cheesy!"

"What are your thoughts? Aren't we all good comrades and good friends?"

Lin Qiuyue kept her eyes fixed ahead, not daring to turn around and meet Yu Sitian's gaze, only feeling a slight burning sensation at the tips of her ears.

Only He Wei was still somewhat unaware, thinking that Yang Ping and the others were just gossiping about Qin Rui.

"I don't think that woman is particularly pretty. She's probably just from a well-off family and dresses fashionably."

"Yes, yes, she's just dressed a little better. If Qiuyue dressed up a bit, she would definitely look much better than that Comrade Qin."

Yang Ping muttered to herself, constantly encouraging Lin Qiuyue.

Zhou Rui can't be snatched away by another woman, otherwise she'll have no reason to come to Zhou Rui's house for meals in the future.

At this moment, Qin Zhan opened the trunk and took out some gifts, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

The outer packaging is just ordinary; you can't tell anything about it.

But Zhao Youzhi and his group felt that anything that could be taken from a car was of good quality.

Just then, another whistle sounded, softer than the car's, but clearer.

Everyone turned around and saw a motorcycle approaching. The rider was wearing a thick hat, and his entire face was completely covered by a scarf.

The motorcycle screeched to a halt. There were people everywhere in front of it; there was nowhere left to go.

"Ruiwa, have you come to welcome me?"

A loud voice rang out, so loud that Zhou Rui and Wang Shouye knew who it was as soon as they heard it.
