Guo Yan noted the surprise on his face and felt puzzled. "Why are you so excited?" she asked.
Wang Xinsheng abruptly remembered that he had never mentioned Lu Zhiyuan in detail to his wife. With no one else around, he spoke softly to her, "I think I've told you before that I have two sworn brothers, remember?"
"I remember, one is back home, and the other is Cheng Baoguo," said Guo Yan. "We often see Cheng Baoguo and his wife, aren't they now transferred to their hometown to serve as the mayor? Although we haven't been in contact much over the years, we still get bits of news from them. Who is the other brother back home? I've never heard you mention him, I thought he might have passed away."
During the war-ravaged era and the subsequent years marked by disaster and famine, many people perished, Guo Yan's assumptions weren't uncommon.
