After dinner and washing up, Huo Haocheng led the two of them to his former room. After they left, they packed his things and put them in Ruan Ruan's room. His room was now empty, and it was convenient for someone to stay overnight occasionally. Of course, Fu Mingyi mainly slept in this room.

"Did your sister notice something just now?" The two followed Huo Haocheng into the house. The kang (a heated brick bed) in the room was already warm, and the room was also very cozy.

"She and Ruan Ruan have been eating and living together since they were little, what do you think?" Huo Haocheng rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't expect his sister's observation skills to be so strong. Could it really be like what Ruan Ruan said about a woman's intuition?

"I see. After all, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people." Bai Sirui finally understood. Anyone associated with Ruan Ruan was very open-minded.

Huo Haocheng listened to his words and, too lazy to talk to this idiot anymore, rolled his eyes and went back.

"What are you saying? Is that how it's said?" After Huo Haocheng left, Ruan Shaoke rolled his eyes at him. Sometimes, he really thought this guy had something wrong with his head, his behavior was unpredictable.

Not wanting to talk to him anymore, he tidied himself up and went to bed. When Bai Sirui saw him like this, he blew out the lamp, got on the bed, pulled him over and hugged him. The two of them snuggled together and fell asleep.

Back in the room, Huo Haocheng hugged Ruan Ruan and kissed her. On the train, with so many people, the most intimate thing the two did was hold hands. They would be separated again early the next morning, and Huo Haocheng felt a pang of reluctance. He knew they would see each other again in a few days, but he couldn't tell her, so he could only suffer in silence.

The next day, when they got up at 6 o'clock, Zhao Hongmei and Wang Qun had already prepared breakfast, made more than ten egg pancakes for them, packed more than ten steamed buns and some braised dishes they had made earlier, and put them in a big bag.

When they left, Ruan Ruan was still asleep. After the Huo family saw them off to their car, they told them to be careful on the road and then went inside. They didn't seem to miss their eldest son at all.

On the way back to the city, Huo Haocheng was driving when Bai Sirui kept looking at him and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm just curious, between you and Ruan Ruan, who is your family's biological child? I have a feeling that she is your family's biological child."

Since his father died in battle and his mother abandoned him and remarried with his father's pension, Bai Sirui grew up relying on the kindness of neighbors and his father's comrades-in-arms. They would visit him from time to time, bring him food, and he would also collect garbage to sell to support his schooling. So, apart from the pity and care he received from those who helped him, he never experienced family affection.

So he didn't quite understand the Huo family's attitude towards their son. You might say it was bad, but they got up early in the morning to make so many things for them to take with them. You might say they loved them a lot, but it didn't seem like they loved them that much. When they left, he didn't see them being very reluctant to part with him.

"Don't doubt it, I am my parents' biological child, and you feel it too. In our family, daughters are treasures and sons are weeds. We have known this deeply since we were young."

My wife is the darling of our family, followed by my younger sister, then my grandma, grandpa, then my mom and her two sisters, then my dad and his two brothers, and finally us sons.

In my mother's words, our family has no shortage of sons. The one you met this time is my younger brother Huo Hao. You have already met Huo Haojie and Huo Haoshen from my third uncle's family in Yuncheng.

My second uncle's family lives in the county town. They have two sons, Huo Haoli (you've met him), and another one, Huo Haoming. So we have a total of six sons and only two daughters. Tell me, are they spoiled or not?

Moreover, in my opinion, your Ruan family is the same.”

"Yes, girls have always been pampered in our family since we were little. When we were young, it was all boys. Later, we finally had Ruan Ruan, but she got lost. The whole family was heartbroken. After that, Shi Ya spoke up, and we brothers finally felt more confident in the compound. We would carry Shi Ya around and show her off. Later, the adults found out and we got a good beating."

At this point, Ruan Shaoke looked at Huo Haocheng and asked, "If we transfer our feelings for Ruan Ruan to Shi Ya and give up the search for Ruan Ruan, what will your family, or you, do?"

“If that’s the case, I think we won’t even need to do anything. Ruan Ruan will cut all ties with you on her own. Even if it costs my life, my family will never let Ruan Ruan return to the Ruan family. And I, even if I have to take off this military uniform, will never let you see Ruan Ruan again.”

Huo Haocheng had thought about this question before, and he vowed that if that day ever came, he would risk his life to keep Ruan Ruan away from that family. That's why he's been working so hard all these years.

After hearing his words and seeing the Huo family in person, they knew that Huo Haocheng was telling the truth. So they didn't discuss the topic again on the way.

Back at the Shenyang Military Region, after picking up Ruan Chuanyan, they drove to the train station.

"Be careful on the road and take good care of yourselves." Only after seeing them off on the train did he drive back to his unit.

After Huo Haocheng and the others left, the Huo family had nothing to do, so they sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and pondered for a while. "Today is already the 21st, and there are only 4 days left until Haoshi's wedding. When things get busy, the village may not be able to take care of everything. Dad, what do you think about me going to organize the slaughtering of the pig? Anyway, it's so cold, and we can't feed it for more than two days."

"You're the captain, you can make the arrangements yourself." The old man's words were quite clear: the snow wasn't too heavy yet, so they could kill the animals first, and then organize people to go up the mountain later.
