    Chapter Index

    The next morning, Pei Silk An woke up early and stopped Mrs. Wu, who was going to cook in the kitchen, and asked her if there was someone who came yesterday.

    “That’s right,” Mrs. Wu complained, “Huo Xiaoling came next door and said some unsavory things in front of Nong Nong, provoking her with her words, I think she doesn’t have a good heart, and there’s also that Zhao Xin, Huo Xiaoling said herself that Zhao Xin asked her to come here this time.”

    Pei Jing’an sank his face, nodded and said, “I know, she slept late last night, you can go to the house later to call her.”

    Wu Ma said okay and asked, “You’re not having breakfast at home?”

    “I don’t want to eat, there is something I have to go and urge again.” Pei Jingan left in big strides.

    Pei Zheng had to get up early to go to school, got up after Pei Jingan, glanced downstairs, didn’t see Pei Jingan, “Grandma Wu, my dad left?”

    Mrs. Wu came over with rice porridge, “I just left, I didn’t even eat, I said I had something to do.”

    Pei Zheng heatedly laughed and recklessly jumped onto the stair railing sliding down the top along the handrail.

    Wu Ma was shocked, “Aigoo my little ancestor, you are not afraid of falling, how can you do such a dangerous thing?”

    Pei Zheng waved his hand carelessly, “It’s fine Grandma Wu, don’t worry, I’ve been practicing for many years, I won’t fall.”

    Wu’s mom was shocked and still disapproved, “I’ll tell your father if you do that again.”

    Pei Silk An is Pei Zheng’s Achilles’ heel, as soon as she heard that Wu Ma was going to tell Pei Silk An, she immediately begged for mercy, “Don’t, Grandma Wu, we’re a country, you can’t sell me out.”

    “Then promise that you won’t do anything so dangerous in the future, and I won’t tell your father.” Wu Ma was iron-faced and had to make Pei Zheng swear.

    Pei Zheng had no choice but to hold up three fingers and swear, “I’ll never do anything dangerous in front of Grandma Wu again.” The big deal was doing it behind Grandma Wu’s back.

    Wu Ma isn’t that easy to fool, “Little brat, playing mind games with your Grandma Wu aren’t you? You say, you’ll never slide down the stair railing again, say it!”

    Pei Zheng: “…… “What’s going on, how come even an old lady has so much heart?

    Pei Zheng could only repeat in a bereft manner, “I will, never, ever, again, from ……”

    “Pei Zheng – I received your letter for you, come out and get it.” Zhang Kaiping’s voice sounded outside the door.

    “I’ll go get the stuff.” Pei Zheng was like an amnesty and leapt out of the house.

    Wu Ma shook her head behind him, “That boy.”

    “Here, here,” Zhang Kaiping handed him Pei Zheng’s letter and asked him curiously, “How do you have a letter from the northwest?”

    “It’s a letter from Lacey.” Pei Zheng opened the letter and read it at a glance, his brows tightening the more he read, his face very ugly.

    “What’s going on? What happened?” Zhang Kaiping asked.

    Pei Zheng took a deep breath and said, “Lacey didn’t go to the Northwest voluntarily in the first place, he originally wanted to go to Shanghai to look for his foreign family, he got on the train and was knocked unconscious, and woke up to find himself mixed up in a group of young students supporting the Northwest, he wanted to get off the train and go home, but the group of people said they wouldn’t let him go, and they called him by another person’s name.”

    The letter Song Laixi also said that he wasted nine bulls and two tigers to explain clearly that he is Song Laixi is not another person, the result that the group of people still do not allow him to go, saying that he left the indicator less a person, they go to can not be accounted for.

    Song Laixi momentarily moved compassion, and was touched by the group of young people in the body is not afraid of hardship to support the spirit of the Northwest, he could guess that he was knocked out and stepmother related, rather than stay in the capital city all day long to prevent the stepmother’s calculations, and stepmother hooked up with, it is better to go to do something meaningful.

    I think this is also the stepmother’s calculation, calculated to his nature, calculated to his choice, I have to say, Zhao Xin, this woman’s control of the human heart is accurate to the extreme.

    Song Laixi instructs Pei Zheng to be careful of his stepmother Zhao Xin, a woman so sinister that she encloses a portrait of the face of the man who knocked out Song Laixi.

    After he went to the northwest day after day to recall the appearance of the man who knocked him out, remembering a little bit of the characteristics of the painting on a few strokes, would like to wait a few years after returning to the capital to slowly look for the man, to pull out the tail of the fox of Zhao Xin, did not expect Pei Zheng letter mentioned had been attacked by a strange man, Song Laixi hold the heart of the try to send the painting to Pei Zheng.

    Pei Zheng hastily pulled out the portrait from the envelope, the man on the painting had a simple and honest face, really unlike the vicious thugs, at that time, the sky was dark, it was hard to see the face of the man who attacked Lu Nong, but Pei Zheng had a hunch that it must be him.

    “You go home first.”

    Pei Zheng didn’t care about Zhang Kaiping anymore, he turned around and went home to pick up his school bag and headed out, this clue is very important, he wants to personally deliver it to the old man.

    “Hey? We haven’t eaten yet, where are you going?” Wu Ma chased him out the door to stop him.

    “Grandma Wu I have something urgent, a hundred thousand times urgent.” Pei Zheng broke away from Grandma Wu, only to find an egg shoved into his hand.

    Mrs. Wu: “Take it and go.”

    “Hey.” Pei Zheng gripped the egg tightly and turned to run fast.

    Mrs. Wu sighed and walked towards the house with a broken heart, “One or two of them don’t eat breakfast, how can they do that? People are iron and rice is steel, a meal is not eaten hunger panic, no matter what to do have to eat ah. You say I this early in the morning to work to work, rice is ready, people go away, busy what is the point?”

    Lu Nu held her back and yawned as she descended the stairs.

    “Godmother, what are you rambling on about? Where are Pei Silk An and Pei Zheng?” At this hour Pei Jing’an and Pei Zheng were usually having breakfast, but today there was only rice on the table, no one in sight.

    Wu Ma saw Lu Nong standing lazily on the stairs with a big belly, just not coming down, panicked, and hurriedly walked up to help her downstairs.

    “You’re all my ancestors, okay? I told you, if you want to go up, hurry up and if you want to go down, hurry up and come down, what are you doing standing halfway up the stairs?”

    “They both left early in the morning, saying they had something to do, a hundred thousand urgent.” The last four words, “a hundred thousand urgent”, were emphasized by Wu Ma to show her dissatisfaction.

    “Pei Zheng also has an emergency? What is it?” The hundred thousand urgent matters were definitely not said by Pei Jingan, it was Pei Zheng, but what hundred thousand urgent matters did he have?

    Lu Nu couldn’t help but get curious.

    “Wu Ma I’m just an old lady who can’t speak well, no one even eats when I cook a meal, how would I know what’s going on with them?” Wu Ma pouted, the old lady talked so much that even Lu Nong didn’t want to talk to her.

    “……”

    “Are you angry? Who messed with you early in the morning?” Lu Nong slipped up and dumped the pot, “It must be Pei Zheng, the bastard, I’ll teach him a lesson for you when he comes back, don’t be angry.”

    Wu Ma doesn’t eat her, “Don’t push everything onto other people’s Xiao Zheng? Xiao Zheng is a good boy, I’m talking about you, how many times have I told you that the stairs are dangerous, but you just can’t remember, you’re going to be so angry with the old lady me, aigoo my heart, it hurts ah ……”

    Lu Nu: “……” Just now, didn’t she still blame Pei Zheng for not staying for breakfast? Why did the spearhead suddenly turn around and turn to her?

    Plus.

    “Godmother, you are covering the right side, wrong.” Lu Neng reminded.

    Wu Ma’s expression was blank, and the next second she put her hand over her left chest, “Aigoo my heart, it hurts ah …… you say, godmother is so old and confused by your anger that she can t even tell where her heart is.”

    “Godmother, I’m wrong, I’ll never be angry with you again, right?” Lu Nong was helpless.

    “Then you swear, you swear you’ll never again stop half-drawing up the stairs and wobbling down.” Wu Ma said as she seized the opportunity.

    Okay, Lu Nu raised three fingers and became the second person to swear at the dining table after Pei Zheng, “I swear, I’ll never stop lingering in the middle of the stairs again, okay?”

    Wu Ma put down the hand covering her chest and said with relief, “That’s a good boy, you hurry up and eat, if you don’t eat the porridge will get cold, I’ll go upstairs and shout for Xiao Huai to get up.”

    “You eat first, call him afterward.” Lu Nong told Wu Ma to sit down and eat, but Wu Ma couldn’t be bothered and had to go upstairs to call Xiao Huai to come down and eat with her.

    Lu Nu had no choice but to go along with her, as she was inconvenient with her big belly.

    Breakfast staple is millet porridge and rolls, on the pickled vegetable lumps and cold shredded potatoes, each person also has an egg, a cup of milk, Lu Nong and cubs of egg custard, Wu Ma to Lu Nong boiled a separate bowl of bird’s nest.

    There were dates, apples, and tomatoes on the fruit plate at the table, and the dried fruit plate was protected from walnuts, peanuts, candied fruit, and fried soybeans, all of which were Lu Nong’s usual snacks.

    As for coffee and desserts, Wu Ma took away all of them, not allowing Lu Neng to have the slightest chance of contact, and dressing was strictly controlled, with warmth as the primary goal, regardless of whether it was good or not, cosmetics were confiscated, and only moisturizing water and milk were left for Lu Neng.

    Lu Nong also knows that this is good for the child, obediently listen to Wu Ma, just occasionally crave dessert coffee.

    After breakfast, Wu Ma led Gu Xiaohuai and the little white dog downstairs, Gu Xiaohuai routinely one day business, walked to Lu Nong side, touch her belly, milky voice, said: “Little baby, good morning, today also be obedient oh.”

    Lu Nu touched Gu Xiaohuai’s soft hair, “Good morning, baby.”

    Gu Xiaohuai replied seriously, “Good morning, mom.”

    Wu Ma did not Xiao Huai carry him to a chair and put a bib on him, “Hurry up and eat, grandma prepared Xiao Huai’s favorite egg custard and meat zizi for you.”

    The little white dog rubbed against Wu Ma’s leg, and Wu Ma dodged it, “Alright, alright, I know you’re hungry too, so I’ll go to the kitchen and get it for you.”

    The little white dog followed Wu Ma into the kitchen in a flash.

    “Godmother, don’t be busy, hurry over and eat a piece.” Lu Nong pulled out the chair beside her and told Wu Ma to hurry over and sit down to eat.

    The old lady was haughty, pulling away the chair beside Xiao Huai and said, “Usually it’s Silent An who sits in that seat beside you, I always feel all out of sorts when you ask me to go over and sit.”

    Lu Nu: “……” No wonder Pei Zheng never came to sit in this seat.

    After eating, Lu Nong took Pup and Little White upstairs.

    Today is a rare weekend off work, Lu Nu intends to accompany the pups to draw.

    After his birthday, cub will be three weeks old, cub early wisdom, interested in everything, a few days ago Pei Zheng in front of him to show off shoot a basketball, the little guy took Pei Zheng’s basketball to shoot a day by himself.

    When Lu Nu came back at night to take a look, his hands are shooting red, or refused to give up, had to shoot to the point of brother kind of skillful.

    Pei Zheng moved a stone to stone his own feet, in order to prevent his brother from practicing hard again, from then on every time he played basketball, he had to bring his brother.

    After only taking Gu Xiaohuai to the basketball court for a few days, Gu Xiaohuai can already shoot seven or eight times in a row, and he’s a three year old kid yo.

    Painting is what Lu Nong likes, she does not know if Xiao Huai likes it, but it is always right to try, and after trying it, she found that her son is worthy of being the number one villain of the novel, multi-talented, and although the painting is not very good, it is heavenly and very imaginative.

    Lu Nu thought of a saying: in the face of talent, effort is unbearable.

    When they got to the study, mother and son each found their own place and scribbled away, not disturbing each other.

    The winter sunlight was warm, shining on the photo of Lu Nong holding Xiaohuai on the desk, Gu Xiaohuai drew for a while, and when he looked up, he was attracted by the photo and picked up the frame to play with it, and after a moment of playing with it, it seemed that he thought of something, pulled open the drawer, and rummaged around in it, and took out a photo of the same two people.

    “Mom, Uncle, smile.”

    “What?” Lu Nong took the photo in Gu Xiaohuai’s hand, it was the photo of her wearing her wedding dress and Pei Yinan’s photo of the two of them, after it was washed out, Lu Nong stuffed it into a pile of photos in her head, she didn’t have time to take a closer look at it.

    I only saw Lu Nong in the photo looking at the camera without slanting her eyes, while Pei Yinan gazed at her sideways, his gaze loving and gentle, like a silent confession.

    Lu Neng was stunned, at that time she and Pei Silent An were not familiar ah.

    Returning to her senses, Lu Nong asked Gu Xiaohuai, “But no one is smiling in the photo, did Xiaohuai misread it?”

    Gu Xiaohuai shook his head and pointed to the mother and son photo of Lu Nong and him, “Mom smiles, Uncle smiles.”

    Lu Nong subconsciously looked at the mother and child photo and realized that she was indeed smiling at her cubs in that photo, while in the photo of her and Pei Silk An, Pei Silk An was not smiling.

    Then why did Gu Xiaohuai say that Pei Yinan was also smiling?

    Lu Nu observed it carefully again before it finally dawned on him.

    It’s the eyes. The characters are different in the two photos, but the eyes are both equally gentle.
