Chapter 1416 The Taste of Tears

"Lao Yan, you should be happy."

The old Taoist said at the side, "My son is successful, and he does not rely on others. What is more important is that he is capable and willing to do it! This is a good thing."

"Yes, it's a good thing."

Yan Fugui wiped his tears, but his mouth was sweet!
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at the people in the courtyard behind him, "Don't worry, everyone, in the northwest, even though the food is a bit poor, everyone can eat enough!"

"There's nothing else besides being cold when it's cold and hot when it's hot."

"Everyone, just don't worry!"

The people around him laughed immediately after hearing this.

Uncle Li in the front yard even shouted, "As long as you can eat enough, my boss may have eaten it."

"It doesn't matter if you are tired, whoever works is not tired!"

"The black spots are good too. Healthy!"

A group of people said happily, and many people even shouted that if they didn't do well, they would beat them hard.

Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly when he heard this. This is completely opposite to the later generations who hold it in their hands for fear of falling off and hold it in their mouth for fear of it melting.

Then everyone went home, preparing to read letters from home far away.

Yan Fugui wanted to leave, but Yang Xiaotao kept him.

Yan Fugui felt flattered, but was extremely surprised.

This shows that Yang Xiaotao accepted him!

When the sky darkened, Ran Qiuye and others put the food on the table, one table for men, one table for women and children.

There wasn't much opening. Everyone picked up their wine glasses, ate their food, and then listened to Yang Xiaotao talk about this trip.

When he came back, Uncle Deng had already explained what he could and could not say.

Yang Xiaotao picked it up. Although it was simple, it was still shocking to go abroad thousands of miles away for an order.

Of course, the women in the room were still frightened when they heard about the various attacks, even though they were not clearly explained.

Even a person like Director Yu, who was used to it, frowned unconsciously after hearing this.

Yang Xiaotao must have reservations about what he said, but even when he said it, his breathing slowed down.

"From now on, go out less and stay at home. It's good!"

At the table next door, Ran's mother couldn't help but speak. In her heart, Yang Xiaotao was the backbone of the family, with not only a wife, but also three children.

"what do you know!"

Ran's father replied, he also knew that what Yang Xiaotao said was incomplete, otherwise why would he be allowed to go on this matter?

Similarly, Ran Qiuye also knew better, otherwise he would not have let Tang Mingyue follow.

That's the secretary next to the chief, and there must be more important things.

Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue on the side were equally shocked when they heard this, and they were especially full of admiration for those who sacrificed their lives.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Anyway, we are back."

"Let's have a drink!"

"Yes, let's have a drink and wish Xiaotao a safe return!"

Yan Fugui picked up the wine glass, and everyone followed suit.

"cheers!!!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, raised his glass, looked at Ran's father, Zhou Kui, and all the related people...

Looking at Ran Qiuye and Duanwu who ran out to watch TV after eating, for a moment, there was only one sentence in his mind, "It's better to have your own home!"

"cheers!"

……

Wait for the moon to rise in the sky, wait for the food and wine to be taken away, wait for the tea in the cup to be drunk, wait for the sound of laughter to dissipate, wait for people to leave the yard one after another...

Everything around started to become quiet.

Ran Qiuye cleaned up and went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks to prepare for washing.

Passing by the house, I glanced at Yang Xiaotao, who was holding a glass of water, and felt a sense of sweetness in my heart.

"daughter in law!"

Ran Qiuye was washing the dishes when Yang Xiaotao's voice came from behind.

"Ok!"

He lowered his head and hummed, then a pair of arms hugged him from behind, and the whole body leaned together.

The two hugged each other, and the air suddenly became silent.

After a long time, Ran Qiuye put the chopsticks away and moved his body's center of gravity back.

"Mom, too. You must take the child back, otherwise Yue Yue Rongrong can play with you."

"You don't know, Xiaosan's eyes are rolling so fast. The ladies in the courtyard say she looks most like you."

"The second child is much more honest and obedient than her brother, but mom said, you have to watch this honest child if he wants to do great things."

"There is also the Dragon Boat Festival. This kid asked him to learn Pinyin and make decisions while watching. Once the person leaves, his heart will run away. You have to take care of it when you come back."

"You don't know, when we were in Yangjiazhuang..."

Ran Qiuye was talking.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stepped forward, hugged her hard, and buried his head in her hair.

"Akiba, I'm sorry!"

The voice was very soft, but it made Ran Qiuye feel very heavy, and tears began to fall again.

Flow down the cheeks and into the mouth.

A little salty!
"No, it's okay!"

"My child is sick and no one listens to me!"

"I'm so scared. I'm afraid you won't come back. I'm afraid something will happen to my child..."

Ran Qiuye cried, and Yang Xiaotao gently turned her around, looking at her face with tears streaming down her face, but with a smile on her face.

He reached out and gently lit the teardrops, making the originally rosy cheeks even more moist and the originally hot ears even more red.

"Sometimes, I, I just want you to be by my side!"

Ran Qiuye became serious, "Even if you don't care about anything, don't do anything!"

"Just stay by my side, stay with me, talk to me, smile to me, and I can touch your hand when I sleep at night!"

"But I can't do that, it would be too selfish!"

"I…"

"Akiba!"

Yang Xiaotao gently kissed Ran Qiuye's forehead, and then looked at his lover in front of him.

Suddenly I wanted to hide that matter and not talk about it.

This way it won't hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable.

But, rationally, Yang Xiaotao understood that if he didn't explain it clearly now, it would become a thorn in Ran Qiuye's heart when he found out.

Maybe around Yang Xiaotao, he would still pretend not to know, and still look affectionate.

But every time I think about it, I will be pricked with blood.

That way, Yang Xiaotao would feel sorry for her even more.

"Akiba!"

Yang Xiaotao has made up his mind.

Raising his head and looking at his wife, whose eyes were hazy and her breath was hot, Yang Xiaotao suppressed the restlessness in his heart and gently applied force with his hands. Ran Qiuye was held in his arms and walked into the bedroom step by step.

Ran Qiuye put his hands around Yang Xiaotao's neck, his eyes becoming more and more blurred.

Sitting on the bed, Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye in his arms, and then spoke seriously. "Qiuye, there's something I want to tell you."

Ran Qiuye nodded subconsciously, and his breathing gradually became calmer!

"You know about Secretary Tang."

Ran Qiuye leaned into Yang Xiaotao's arms and nodded, "Sister told me!"

"Ok!"

Yang Xiaotao hugged her tightly, breathing rapidly and her body trembling slightly.

"Me and her!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly gritted his teeth and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

Ran Qiuye's misty eyes gradually became clear.

"What happened to you and her?"

"I, I slept with her!"

Yang Xiaotao gritted his back molars and spoke in a low voice.

Ran Qiuye's eyes widened, "Sleeping? What do you mean sleeping?"

"That's right, I slept like that!"

After a long time, the room became deserted.

Snap, Ran Qiuye's arm slipped down, and his mind went blank.

sleep!

My man slept with another woman!
Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and Ran Qiuye began to struggle, trying to get out of Yang Xiaotao's arms.

But Yang Xiaotao hugged her tightly and couldn't get up several times.

Tears fell again, but this time, the tears were aggrieved.

I take care of his children at home, worry about him, and feel exhausted mentally and physically for him...

But he did something sorry!
"Let go!"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head.

"let me go!"

Ran Qiuye shouted, Yang Xiaotao still shook his head.

If you let go at this time, you will do something stupid if you don't know.

Snapped

A crisp slap sounded.

Yang Xiaotao tilted his head, Ran Qiuye's arms were still in the air, and his face instantly became stunned.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye's face turned pale and his arms began to tremble.

"No, no, I'm not, that's not the case."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's cheeks turn red and suddenly swollen, Ran Qiuye's speech became incomparable.

She couldn't believe that she actually hit Yang Xiaotao.

Since their marriage, the two have always treated each other with respect.

Even Yang Xiaotao was taking care of her.

In the eyes of outsiders, the six of them were a model couple, not to mention fighting, even quarreling and arguing, let alone today.

In Ran Qiuye's view, this slap, like what Yang Xiaotao did, was unforgivable.

The former cannot forgive Yang Xiaotao.

The latter cannot forgive himself.

Yang Xiaotao felt the burning pain on his face, and Xiao Wei's angry hissing sound came in his mind, and he was forced to rush to the yard.

This slap actually made him feel guilty and he could bear it.

Ran Qiuye's trembling hands wanted to touch the red and swollen face, but she was afraid of touching it.

The next second, Yang Xiaotao held his trembling hand and gently covered his face.

Uh...

Ran Qiuye lay in Yang Xiaotao's arms again and cried.

This time it was the pain of sadness.

Yang Xiaotao stroked Ran Qiuye's back, covered his face with one hand, and rested his head on Ran Qiuye's hair.

After a long time, Yang Xiaotao spoke.

"We have three missions this time."

Ran Qiuye sobbed softly.

"We had just left the country when we were assassinated in the country of Al-Khasa."

Ran Qiuye's body tensed.

"Although the enemy was driven back, they did not remember the lesson and came to us again!"

"Just when we were completing our mission and preparing to return home, we bumped into each other again."

"The battle went well. We captured the other party's intelligence. Only then did I know why the other party was targeting us as soon as we entered the country of Kazakhstan."

Yang Xiaotao tightened his arms around the woman who was no longer crying, "Because, she is you!"

Ran Qiuye raised his head, "Because it's me?"

"Correct!"

"She is Ran Qiuye, so she should be married and the mother of three children!"

"No way, it's still Hina!"

Ran Qiuye's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.

"Because of this, we were exposed!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, his expression was gloomy.

"Is that why?"

Ran Qiuye was in disbelief. She couldn't imagine that she could be exposed just because of this?
"Yes. Some things, once doubt arises, will be a flaw."

"They won't come to reason with you until they find conclusive evidence."

"They just need a little suspicion, that's enough."

Ran Qiuye was shocked and slowly accepted it.

Because it was abroad, the situation was definitely more severe than the domestic situation.

What's more, it's like walking on thin ice.

"later…"

Yang Xiaotao spoke again and told the cause and effect of the incident. Ran Qiuye's face became shocked, and then his palms trembled and he became guilty.

"Does it hurt?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head.

"This way, I feel better."

"Actually, when I came back, I was still scared and even more hesitant. But I didn't want to hide it from you, because that would be irresponsible to you."

"I also know that this matter is my fault. Whatever you want, I don't blame you."

"Even if you want to leave..."

Ran Qiuye suddenly covered Yang Xiaotao's mouth.

The whole person lay in Yang Xiaotao's arms again. This time, tears flowed down. This time, it was the pain of regret.

And, indescribably, heartbroken!
