Reborn in 1974, crying with red eyes while hugging her rough husband

The heavy rain came quickly and went away faster, but it was just enough to put out the burning fire. Everyone hid under the eaves of Aunt Li's house and watched the fire in Shen Zhizhu's house next door gradually go out.

"The rain came at the right time. If we had to wait for everyone to put out the fire, who knows how long it would take. By then, most of the furniture inside might have been damaged. You can take inventory later. I estimate that most of the things inside will not be burned too badly. Pick them up and see if there are any that are still worth keeping. If you don't want them, just let me know and I'll take care of them for you."

"Old Shen is right. You two young couple still have to take an exam tomorrow. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just leave it to us."

"Xiaozhu Haonan, you can take a shower at your aunt's house later. I bought new clothes for your uncle today. Your uncle hasn't come back yet, so you can give them to Haonan. If you don't mind Xiaozhu's clothes, you can wear your aunt's first. Don't worry, they will be washed very clean."

In Qinlao Village, most of the people have the surname Shen, but they are many times better off than Shen Jianjun's family.

Shen Zhizhu didn't get close to the fire, so he was fine, except that his feet were covered in dirt. Xu Haonan participated in the whole process, and the flying sparks burned several holes on his body, leaving black marks.

The clothes definitely cannot be worn anymore. I don’t know what the burnt state of the house over there is. Is there any clothes left to wear?

There were too many people. When it started to rain, Xu Haonan returned to Aunt Li's yard and picked up Shen Zhizhu, who wanted to run back, to prevent her feet from touching the mud on the ground due to the rain.

Shen Zhizhu was shy and didn't let Xu Haonan hug her all the time. Everyone was crowded together, and she would feel ashamed if he hugged her, so as a second choice, Xu Haonan let Shen Zhizhu step on his feet.

"I'll go back and take a look later. The situation just now was quite fierce. I'm a little worried."

[Fortunately, the money was placed in the iron box, so it shouldn’t burn to ashes. Otherwise, I would be heartbroken.]

Xu Haonan was a little amused and helpless. Just now, the only thing in his mind was to carry Shen Zhizhu away, and he had no idea of ​​anything else. But now thinking back, it would be really sad if all that money was gone.

He touched the furry head under his chin.

"I'm glad you're okay. Thanks to everyone for coming tonight. When Zhu and I finish our exams, we'll come back and treat you all to a meal."

Shen Zhizhu also added.

"After my husband and I pass the exam, we'll treat everyone to a good meal."

The girl smiled so confidently. Both of them were in a very good mood and were not affected by the fire at all.

Aunt Li laughed and did not reject their proposal.

"That would be great. I'll take Erdan with me, so that we can get acquainted with you two intellectuals and try to get into a good university."

"You think too much. I'll bring my kids with me too. When you pass the exam, I'll take them to share in the good fortune."

They were all looking forward to that day, and they all reminded them not to be nervous tomorrow and to study hard for the exam, and asked when it would start and end.

We also chatted for a while about this content.

"Erdan, what are you looking at?"

Aunt Li noticed that Erdan had been a little absent-minded since just now, and had been looking at a piece of rag in his hand.

Erdan thought about it, walked up to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan, and raised the rag in his hand.

"Brother Haonan, Sister Xiaozhu, I first found this on the wall. I thought it was in the way, so I subconsciously pulled it down. I was afraid of getting sparks on it, and I was anxious to water it according to the method my sister taught me, so I forgot about it."

It was only when he touched his pocket just now that he remembered this matter. He always felt that the cloth looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was, so he kept holding it in his hand and looking at it. His intuition told him that it was not normal for this piece of cloth to appear on the wall between the two houses.

Shen Zhizhu took the cloth and felt it was somewhat familiar.

She and Xu Haonan looked at each other and realized that the fire was probably not a natural disaster but man-made.

"This piece of cloth does look familiar, as if I had seen it a while ago, but I can't remember where it is all of a sudden. What do you think, husband?"

Shen Zhizhu handed the torn cloth to Xu Haonan. Xu Haonan looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't remember it.

The people on the side also came to their senses and cast their eyes on the torn cloth in Xu Haonan's hand. You know what, some of them felt like they had seen it somewhere before, but cloth of this quality and color is available in many families and it is a very basic style.

"You mean... this fire was set on purpose?"

"This is too immoral! How much hatred and resentment must one have to do such a beastly thing!"

"Call the police, you must call the police. It must be someone from the village. If we leave it alone, we don't know whose house will be burned next time. Everyone is so panicked, how can we sleep peacefully afterwards?"

Xu Haonan has no relatives in the village and doesn't socialize much. The places he often goes to are the fields and the back mountain. Now there is a school, and given his personality, he should not have any enemies.

In this way, the fire only targeted Shen Zhizhu.

"It looks like they're coming for me. There are only a few people who hate me. Du Manjun and Du Zaide were called to the police station because of me, not to mention my uncle's family. I'm afraid they hate me to the core."

After looking around, there are only these few people. However, Du Manjun is going to college, and Du Zaide is devoted to his son. I guess for the sake of his son, even if he wants to disappear, he will not use such extreme methods.

Then it can only be my uncle’s family.

Shen Ai Qiu is the smartest one in the family and she will never treat herself badly. She always buys the best clothes. This piece of rag doesn't look like a women's piece and it's not something she would do. I just don't know if she was the one instigating this behind the scenes.

"Ah! I remembered it!"

One of the aunts stared at it for a long time and finally remembered. She pointed at the cloth and stuttered excitedly.

"It's him, him, him, him, what's his name?"

"Oh, please tell me. I'm so anxious. I've been talking for a long time but still can't explain it. Do you know who it is?"

Everyone waited, but after waiting for a long time they still didn't hear their name.

The man smiled sheepishly and then explained.

"I'm just too excited. I just can't remember his name right now. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't tell you guys. I'm so anxious myself."

Shen Zhizhu said he understood and told the other party not to be anxious. He was not in a hurry himself. There were only four suspects anyway, and he could eliminate them one by one when the time came.

During the conversation, the name came up again.

"I remembered!"
