Chapter 421: Sad Past
Back from Qingyuan Town, Zhou Xiaofeng seemed very tired, he fell asleep on Hu Feng’s bed just before lunchtime .
Bai Zhi came into the room silently and covered him with a thin quilt . She looked at his thin figure and sighed inside her heart . In this world, there were many poor children like Zhou Xiaofeng . She doesn’t know how many of them don’t have parents, food or clothes to cover their bodies .
How good would it be if there is no war, no poverty, and no heartless abandonment in this world?
When lunch was ready, Zhou Xiaofeng hadn’t woken up yet . They couldn’t bear to wake him up, so they ate first, leaving him enough meals . They put it inside the pot to keep it warm .
But, who would have thought that when Zhou Xiaofeng woke up, it was already evening?

The sky outside has become dim . The daytime in the autumn has become much shorter . It was not night yet, but the wind became slightly cold .
The table was full of fragrant meals, and the other side of the table was also decorated with moon cakes and fruits . The thick red candle as thick as the forearm has been lit, giving warmth in the whole surroundings .
“Xiaofeng you’re awake! Are you hungry? Another dish will be served for dinner . You go and wash your face first, everything will be ready soon . ”
Zhao Sue and Ru’er were playing in the living room, while Zhou Awu and Hu Changlin were chopping wood in the front yard .
Zhou Xiaofeng asked Zhao Sue: “Sister-in-law, what about Bai Zhi?”

Before Zhao Sue could answer, Ru’er busily said: “I know, I know, Sister Bai is cooking in the kitchen . Sister Bai’s cooking skills are very good, everything she cooks is delicious . ”
Zhou Xiaofeng smiled and patted Ruer’s head: “Ru’er is lovely, you play first . I’ll wash my face . ”
When Zhou Xiaofeng went to the backyard, he smelled a strong scent . He doesn’t feel hungry at first, but when he smelled that scent, his stomach began to grumble .
Bai Zhi came out of the kitchen with the sweet and sour pork ribs in hand . She met Zhou Xiaofeng right after heading out: “You woke up? Did you have a nice sleep? Are you hungry?”
Zhou Xiaofeng hurriedly shook his head: “I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry yet . ” As soon as he said he was “not hungry”, his stomach made a couple of sounds .
Zhou Xiaofeng rubbed his grumbling stomach and awkwardly smiled .

Bai Zhi then pointed his finger on the water tank to side: “There is clean water over there, you wash quickly, so you can eat . ”
Seeing Bai Zhi leaving with the dish, he hurriedly went to the tank to wash his hot face . The water in the tank was very cold, after washing his face several times, the heat on his face subsided .
Back in the dining room, everyone was sitting and waiting for him .
In an eight immortal table full of delicious dishes, there were seven people in different sizes sitting on it with full of smile in their face .
It’s been a long time since he had seen such a friendly and warm atmosphere .
He even thought that he’ll never have such a good life for the rest of his life .
While having meals, Zhou Awu asked Zhou Xiaofeng: “How have you been these years?”
Everyone tried not to ask him what happened three years ago . Everyone already knows what happened . If Zhou Awu didn’t escape immediately that year, Ru’er will not live until now .
Zhou Xiaofeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, as his eyes filled with sadness . He would never forget that scene three years ago, he never thought that his life will be very difficult after losing his loved ones .
“If I’m not reprimanded by my teacher in the school and came back late, I would have been dead by now . All the 28 people in our house died . ” His hands trembled a bit, he always had a chill whenever he tried to recall what happened that day .
Before his mother breathed her last breathe, she told him that his father was not a spy . He can’t be a spy . She told him to believe in his father, and he must find a way to look for his father .
