Chapter 55 Little Uncle

  Song Jie was just about to take a closer look when she was dragged away by Wang Yiran, and in the end, she didn't see if it was her little uncle or not.

  Arriving at the venue, from a distance, I saw a sea of people sitting on the ground, densely packed.

  There are too many people, the movie is about to start, and the lights have dimmed. It's really hard to find someone, two people with their heads down searching carefully in that area.

  Actually, Zhao's mother was also stretching her neck to look for them. From a distance, she saw two children coming, and their clothes seemed to be from her own home. Weren't they her own children? She waved at Song Jie and the others from afar, telling them to come over. Song Jie had sharp eyes and immediately spotted "the one" over there.

  The two of them hastily squeezed through the crowd, passing through layer upon layer of obstacles, and finally arrived at their destination.

  Sitting on the small stool, Song Jie let out a sigh of relief. She looked around and found that her little uncle had not returned yet. Was what she saw just now really him? Who was that woman?

  Song Jie was skeptical in her heart and didn't speak up, saying it wasn't necessarily her younger uncle's girlfriend.

  The audience settled in and the movie started playing. It was a famous film, "Tunnel Warfare", which was very popular and well-known to everyone.

  Song Jie had also seen it a few times before, but as time passed, many of the plot details had already been forgotten. Now re-watching it, she felt an unusually warm and fuzzy feeling.

  The people below were all quiet and focused. Song Jie also gradually became fascinated, forgetting that her little brother-in-law hadn't come over.

  The plot is still so wonderful, it's really a classic that never gets old, and watching it several times won't make people feel bored.

  Time passed minute by minute and second by second, and the movie also came to an end. Song Jie suddenly woke up with a start and realized that she was so absorbed in watching it that she had forgotten about time.

  Looking around, everyone was watching with rapt attention, but Xiao Shu was still not back, and Song Jie couldn't help but feel a little worried.

  As soon as the final song was played, everyone stood up and picked up their stools to leave, causing a sudden commotion.

  "Where's Zhao Tong? He hasn't shown up all night."

  Song Jie also didn't dare say she seemed to have seen it, after all, she hadn't seen clearly, and shook her head along with everyone else.

  Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhao's mother didn't say anything either: "Let's go first and ignore him." Zhao's mother wasn't worried either, after all, he was already so big, what kind of danger could he possibly encounter?

  A number of followers followed the crowd surging towards the door, and there were really too many people, making it particularly crowded to walk.

  At the gate, Zhao Tong was already waiting there early, saw his family and hurriedly waved to signal, smiling brightly.

  Song Jie looked suspicious no matter how you looked at her, and Zhao's mother asked: "Where did you go? You didn't see anyone all night?"

  Zhao Tong scratched his head embarrassedly: "Saw a classmate and chatted for a bit." He took the cushion from his parents' hands.

  Everyone walked home together, and the joyful aura on Zhao Tong's body couldn't be blocked. Song Jie thought she was seeing things and couldn't help but look up at Zhao Tong with a puzzled expression.

  Zhao Tong discovered that, towards Song Jie lowered his head and smiled, making a ghost face, and also stretched out his hand to touch Song Jie's head. Song Jie felt like he had touched the edge of some mysterious event.

  Back home, after Zhao Tong sent Wang Yiran back home, Song Jie washed up and went to bed. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking about this matter.

  But for several days afterwards, there was no news, and Song Jie thought that she might have just been overthinking things.

  Over the weekend, Zhao Juan returned home and she and her mother had a good long chat.

  "Mom, how has Zhao Tong been these past few days?" Zhao Juan suddenly asked her mother.

  "It's all right, nothing's wrong?" Zhao's mother said with some doubt.

  "Hasn't he been acting strange at all these past few days?"

  "No..."

  "It can't be......" Zhao Juan's tone was somewhat hesitant.

  "Ah, indeed, Zhao Tong has been working overtime lately and comes back a bit late. What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" His mother was somewhat worried.

  "It's nothing, actually. I heard from a classmate that someone saw Zhao Tong and a female student from our Normal College walking very close together. On the first day of school, wasn't Zhao Tong the one who came to pick me up? They all know each other." said Zhao Juan.

  Song Jie, who was eating an apple on the side, was taken aback for a moment. There really is such a girl! In her heart, she silently mourned Zhao Tong and thought that a round of questioning was inevitable.

  "What's this about? I haven't heard anything, that little rabbit, even hiding it from his own mother." Zhao Mu was somewhat indignant. Zhao Fu put down the newspaper and also paused for a moment.

  "Alright, mom, let's not jump to conclusions yet. Let's wait for Zhao Tong to come back and ask him about it. If he really has a girlfriend from the normal school, she might be quite suitable for our family."

  Mrs. Zhao still felt a little worried in her heart, although it was a new society and people talked about free love, but most people were still introduced by others. She also didn't know if the person her son found himself was reliable or not. At this time, she thought of her own son who had also reached the age to get married, all because their family's poor conditions had delayed it.

  Thinking of this, Zhao's mother was no longer so repelled by the girl.

  In the evening, Zhao Tong returned home late again and was frightened when he saw that everyone in the house was sitting neatly and staring at him with wide eyes.

  "What...what's going on?" Zhao Tong stuttered over his words.

  "The head of the family spoke up."

  Zhao Tong was taken aback, and indeed had his own affairs to attend to. He slowly made his way to the chair in the middle and sat down. Unfortunately, this chair happened to be facing the crowd, making him look like a defendant on trial.

  "What's taking so long? Hurry up." Zhao's mother urged.

  "Ah," Zhao Tong hastily sat down, afraid that his mom would get angry with him.

  After waiting for him to sit down, Zhao Juan asked: "Tell me, who is the woman you visit every day?" Pfft, others haven't even reacted yet, but she's already laughing.

  Zhao's mother looked at her with a frivolous expression and gave her foolish daughter a stern glance, really having no dignity.

  "No, really not." Zhao Tong tried to equivocate, looking as if he was about to swear an oath. Song Jie was puzzled, wondering how she had thought her little brother-in-law was quite honest before.

  "Ahem ahem," Zhao's father coughed twice, signaling for quiet.

  Zhao Tong immediately lowered his head, but in fact, he had been muttering in his heart all along, how did they know? It's too strange...

  "Speak up, if someone hadn't seen you walking very close to a girl, how would we have known? Speak up, what's going on, don't lie. Confess and get leniency, resist and face severity." Zhao's mother still didn't understand her own son, he just rolled his eyes and she knew what he was thinking. How dare he try to deceive people? Impossible!

  Zhao Tong knew he couldn't escape, so he explained the whole thing clearly from start to finish.
