BXBX NOVEL Chapter 531 - Winter in the Northwest
Bai Zhi hugged her and gently patted her back: “Sister-in-law, if you want to cry, just cry!”
Zhao Sue shook her head gently. Although her eyes were red, no tears came out. There was even a wry smile on her lips: “Actually, I already knew that he would go. Since you came back, since his big cousin brought you back, he didn’t feel happy even for a single day. As long as he had free time, he will stand on the terrace and look at the direction of Northwest Military Camp, although he couldn’t see anything. ”
“I always knew it, but I pretended like I didn’t know anything. I selfishly kept him on our side. Although he became unhappy day by day, I chose to ignore his emotions.”
Bai Zhi loosened her arms, put her hands on her shoulder, and looked at her in the eyes: “So, you don’t blame him?”
Zhao Sue smiled bitterly: “Why should I blame him?”
“He left you two women and went on a dangerous place. He might not be able to come back. Don’t you blame him?”
Zhao Sue looked up and looked back at Bai Zhi. She didn’t answer her question, instead, she asked: “Hu Feng also left you to go to the battlefield. Do you blame him?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It’s not the same. After all, Hu Feng and I don’t have that kind of relationship, but you are already a husband and wife, and also have a kid. How can this be compared?”
Zhao Sue said: “This has nothing to do with whether you are married or you have children, or not. I think Hu Feng has been suffering for a long time before he left. He doesn’t want to leave Hu Bo, he doesn’t want to leave you, but he is a man. He had something he has to do, so he eventually left, just like Awu.”
The two released a long sigh. They could only complain about being born in this troubled world. If the world is peaceful and all countries have no disputes, then there is no need for people to die.

Winter in the northwest was very cold, and it heavily snowed in October. She began to miss the modern heating system. In here, she can only rely on burning pit beds and charcoal stoves for heating.
When she got up, she didn’t expect that the winter here would be so cold Otherwise, she would prepare to be a groundhog.
Hu Changlin helped Zhao Lan replace the charcoal in the furnace and handed it back to her.
Zhao Lan said: “It’s warm in the room, you don’t have to change it for me anymore. It cost a lot.”
Hu Changlin said: “We have a lot of charcoal. What are you afraid of? Besides, whether it’s the medicinal field or the two shops in the town, the silvers pour like running water. If you earn so much money, you have to live a good life. Otherwise, what’s the purpose of Zhi’er trying so hard to earn money?”
Zhao Lan sighed: “The snow is heavy, why she and Sue still went to the town? Aren’t all the shops close, so what are they going do in there?”
Hu Changlin replied: “Yesterday was the day when the military camp sent letters. The messenger didn’t come. They were worried so they went there on their own. I don’t know if they got the letter this time.”

Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue went to town. This time, Zhou Xiaofeng was driving. After two months, Zhou Xiaofeng grew taller and began to grow flesh. His face looked much better than before. He finally looked like an a13-year-old boy.
Since Zhou Awu, he started to learn to drive. And every time he doesn’t need to go to school, he will volunteer to drive for Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue.
From the post office, Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue don’t look too good. The two sat in the carriage with a dull look in the face and didn’t speak.
Zhou Xiaofeng said: “Let’s go to the teahouse. Everyone there is well-informed. Maybe we can hear news on the battlefield.”
