When Zhu Xiaomin woke up, Lu Mingzheng was no longer around. Lu Yi had also woken up and was doing somersaults on the kang.

Zhu Xiaomin turned over and got up, patted Lu Yi's little butt, and complained in a low voice: "Your father didn't even let you put on your pants first." She put on her clothes, dressed her son first and put him on the ground, then folded the bedding.

Lu Yi pushed open the door and ran out. After a while, Lu Mingzheng poked his head in and saw that she was already up. He came in and closed the door, hugged her, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Zhu Xiaomin saw that he was wearing the V-neck sweater she had knitted for their wedding, with two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone. When he spoke, his Adam's apple moved. Zhu Xiaomin's eyes were attracted to him, and she responded softly, raising her hand to touch his Adam's apple.

Lu Mingzheng's heart skipped a beat, he retracted his arm, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Don't you want to get up?"

"No, no!" Zhu Xiaomin hastily denied and pushed him away again, "I just had a lustful thought and couldn't help it."

Lu Mingzheng was startled, then he laughed and stretched out his hands to rub her body: "You actually teased me."

Zhu Xiaomin was ticklish, so she laughed until she collapsed, but she still said stubbornly: "No way, you are the cause of all this trouble, how can you blame me?"

Lu Mingzheng was angry and amused, so he simply got on the bed and rubbed her under him: "Then I'll get on the bed myself, and you can show me how lustful you are."

Zhu Xiaomin kicked around with her itchy feet, and her two claws fought back in an unruly manner, and for a moment the two of them rolled into a ball.

Just as they were arguing, they heard the door creak open, followed by Xie Jing's voice: "Aunt, Uncle"

Then came Lu Yi's voice: "Fight!"

The two people who were rolling in a ball on the kang suddenly froze. They turned around and saw two little people standing at the door, looking at them curiously with their big eyes, their little heads full of confusion.

"Ahem!" The two hurriedly separated. Zhu Xiaomin jumped off the kang and waved her hands, "How could we fight? Dad is helping Mom fold the quilt." She turned around and glared at Lu Mingzheng, only to see that the quilt she had just folded was in a mess again.

Lu Mingzheng sat up calmly and tidied the quilt as if nothing had happened: "Yes, Dad helps Mom fold the quilt."

Zhu Xiaomin's face was full of black lines.

Damn, soldiers have good psychological qualities!

After tidying up her messy hair, Zhu Xiaomin took the hands of her two children and said, "Come on, let's go out and don't disturb Daddy's work."

Seeing the door closed again, Lu Mingzheng finally couldn't help laughing out loud. He folded the quilt into a tofu block in a few seconds, jumped down, spread out the mattress cover, and then went out.

At this time, Miao Shiwen had already washed up and was helping Mrs. Jiang cook, and Xie Chengzhi was also cleaning the yard.

Zhu Xiaomin took a basin of water and washed up in the yard, asking Jiang Sao: "Where's Xiaochen?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at the door of her room, shook her head, and her smile faded a little.

Miao Shiwen whispered, "When Platoon Leader Zhou left in the morning, we thought he was asleep, so he left quietly. But when Sister Jiang came back, she found him crying, and now he refuses to come out."

Zhu Xiaomin silently poured away the water, and then comforted Jiang Sao: "This child almost grew up in the military camp, so he must have developed feelings for the place. He is not used to the strange environment and strange people when he suddenly left. He will get better slowly."

He put the washbasin back and went straight to Lu Mingzheng, whispering, "Besides Sister Jiang, you're the only one I know here. Go in and take a look."

After listening to her, Lu Mingzheng thought for a moment, nodded, straightened his clothes, and went in.

After a while, Jiang Xiaochen finally followed Lu Mingzheng out. Mrs. Jiang poured him some water and washed herself silently, still remaining silent and refusing to speak.

The adults exchanged glances, not knowing what to do for a moment and could only pretend they knew nothing.

At this time, Xie Jing staggered out from under a row of tables, crossed the entire yard, and stopped directly in front of Jiang Xiaochen. He looked up at him and shouted, "Uncle!"

"Pfft!" Miao Shiwen couldn't help laughing and came out to teach, "Xiao Jing, this is your brother, not your uncle." Then she said to Jiang Xiaochen, "This is Xiao Jing, and that's Xiao Yi."

Lu Yizheng was riding a horse while sitting on a stool: "Gee, gee..."

Jiang Xiaochen looked down at the little kid in front of him, not knowing how to deal with it for a moment.

Xie Jing puffed up his little face, gave him a fake smile, raised his little hand, and gave him a small wooden block in his hand: "Here you go."

what's the situation?

Jiang Xiaochen didn't know what the kid meant, but he reached out and took the piece of wood.

Xie Jing clapped his hands, turned around, and ran away giggling.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Those small wooden blocks are played by them every day. They are given to you just to invite you to play with them."

Jiang Xiaochen frowned, looked at the block of wood in his hand, then looked at the two little kids over there who couldn't speak clearly. He felt a little disgusted, but he couldn't throw the block of wood away. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

Miao Shiwen brought out the porridge and said with a smile, "Eat first. I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative later to see if you need anything for school."

Jiang Xiaochen shook his head: "I do."

Everyone felt relieved when they heard him speak. Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "You can go shopping even if you don't want to buy anything."

Jiang Xiaochen stopped talking again. Seeing the prepared dishes on the stove, he took the initiative to bring them to the table.

This child will also take the initiative to help adults with work.

Mrs. Jiang felt somewhat relieved, and she brought the last staple food and boiled eggs and followed over.

Each person gets one egg. Lu Mingzheng first gives one to Jiang Xiaochen: "You have a brain for tuition, eating eggs often will be good for you."

Jiang Xiaochen looked at him and hesitated for a while. Seeing that other people also took eggs, even the two little babies held one each. Then he held them in his hands but did not peel them to eat.

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Xiaochen, why don't you eat?"

Jiang Xiaochen looked at her, then looked at the egg in his hand, but still didn't move.

Is it that this child has never eaten eggs?

Mrs. Jiang felt distressed and said softly, "Mom will help you peel it." She took it from his hand and knocked it.

When Jiang Xiaochen saw her peeling the skin, he reached out and took it back, peeled off the remaining skin, and ate it silently.

The adults at the table looked at each other, not knowing what the child was thinking.

Lu Mingzheng looked at him, then turned to Zhu Xiaomin and asked, "You said the supply and marketing cooperative will leave some meat for us today?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, it is usually delivered in the morning. I said to keep 20 kilograms and pick it up later."

Lu Mingzheng said: "I'll go, Xiaochen will go with me."

When Zhu Xiaomin heard that he wanted to take Jiang Xiaochen with him, he immediately nodded and agreed.

After dinner, Lu Mingzheng took Jiang Xiaochen out. Seeing the two of them walking away, Jiang's wife finally burst into tears and whispered, "Am I wrong? I shouldn't have left him alone, but...but..."

However, she had no job and had to live in the Northwest on relief from the army. If she returned to her hometown, she was afraid that her children would lose the opportunity to go to school.
