The aunt who bought the cornmeal also said that Guo Qianjin was not a good person and that her son used to work as an accountant under him.

As a result, one time, the accounts didn't add up no matter what. It must have been embezzled by the old man, and he even blamed it on his son's mistake at work.

My son had a good job working in an office, but later he was punished and transferred to a workshop as a worker.

Just looking for someone to take the blame!

Lian Xiaomin thought that this old guy had finally gotten his retribution. His two sons had committed many evil deeds and caused the death of Old Madam Zheng, and now he had taken care of them.

Losing a son in old age can be considered as retribution in this life.

She was too lazy to go and deal with a petty embezzler.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Lian Xiaomin fed Gua Gua some noodles and egg custard in the space before preparing to go out.

Guagua is the youngest and can’t eat by himself yet. The other three kids will be able to eat by themselves later. When the time comes, just put their food on the small table.

Guagua probably rarely gets to eat eggs, but he ate them with relish this time. The happy look on his little face was really endearing.

At five o'clock, the two walked to Ma Hui's house, which was actually not far away, both in East City.

The two brothers had prepared a copper pot and a lot of mutton.

There were also a few cans of beef on the table, which were sent by Lian Xiaomin.

The four people sat down, and Sun Xuefeng gave himself a pseudonym, saying his name was Qiu Tian.

Their true identities must not be revealed.

Everyone was talking mainly about the latest happenings in Beijing and Ma Hui's work in the black market. The meal was quite delicious.

When it was just getting dark, Lian Xiaomin saw that it was almost time, so she asked Sun Xuefeng to go back first, and she stayed alone to check the accounts with Ma Hui.

The total payment for the goods was 314,000 yuan, and 110 yellow croakers were prepared, which cost 275,000 yuan.

The remaining 39,000 yuan will be exchanged for some old items of good quality.

Lian Xiaomin checked it out and was very satisfied.

More than thirty boxes of various sizes, together with two bags containing gold bars, were loaded into a cart and taken away. The cart was given to her.

"Xiao Ma, see you later. If you see someone like this in the future, be sure to think of me again!"

"No problem, see you then!"

It was already dark and the street lights were turned on.

Lian Xiaomin walked for a distance, found an empty alley, and put the cart of things into the space.

It was almost eight o'clock when Sun Xuefeng walked home and had already packed his luggage.

They decided in the afternoon to leave Beijing overnight after dark.

Sun Xuefeng bought some things and brought them to his cousin, hoping that he would go back to his hometown and bring them back to his grandparents and their family in Kaoshantun, so he packed a bag.

Lian Xiaomin wore a thin black cotton coat and had no other luggage. She only put a few pounds of cake in her bag to eat on the way.

They only had one bicycle, and Sun Xuefeng rode her directly to the south of the city, where the truck was parked on the outskirts of the city.

After they arrived nearby, Lian Xiaomin asked Sun Xuefeng to wait on the roadside while she went to get the car.

Then he walked over alone, quietly moved the truck out of the space, and drove out of the woods.

In this way, the two people embarked on the journey home again.

Sun Xuefeng drove the car all night. Lian Xiaomin was in the truck bed and went into the space to take care of the kids.

During these two days, Junjun and Guagua quickly developed a deep dependence on her under her careful care, and especially liked to stick to their sister.

After all, such a young child, who was frightened and suffered so much, must have felt very insecure.

Lian Xiaomin decided that since she had raised them, she would naturally treat them as her own brothers. However, she couldn't raise them in vain, so she had to give them two names with her surname.

Junjun is called Lian Jun and Guagua is called Lian Rong.

Hmm, it reminds me of lotus seed paste mooncake, with five nuts ~ haha!

However, the Cantonese name A Rong sounds nice, and she liked it very much, so that's it.

I will still live in Hong Kong in the future. When the child grows up, I can’t always call him by his nickname Guagua. Then I will call him Arong, which sounds better.

…

The next morning, September 28, it was still dark and Lian Xiaomin was already standing at the door of her aunt's house.

In the backpack was the little girl who was still sleeping, and in her arms was the little Fu who was looking at her sister with squinting eyes.

"Xiaofu, it's time for you to show off again. Let's go home!"

This time, Xiaofu doesn't need to pretend to be sick or complain about feeling unwell, but he can't be too active for a short period of time. He just needs to show a little weakness and act like he has just recovered from a serious illness.

The autumn harvest has begun and the workers are getting up very early.

Look, the neighbors in the next yard all saw Xiaomin coming back, and they all greeted her and asked whether Xiaofu’s heart disease had been cured in Beijing.

Lian Xiaomin greeted everyone and said loudly that she had recovered from her illness. She thanked all the aunts and sisters for their concern.

Xiaofu didn't say anything, just smiled sweetly at everyone and snuggled into his sister's arms to continue sleeping.

Yufang has come out to open the gate. Xiaomin is finally back. I am so excited!

She picked up a small bag on the ground and quickly took the person in.

Zhang Dacui was feeding chickens in the yard. She hurried over, took Xiaofu and kissed him hard twice.

"Xiaofu, do you miss Big Tits? Let's go inside and talk~"

Lian Xiaomin followed her into her room. Xiaofeng and Dabao were sleeping in this room, still lying on the kang.

Erni and the youngest Dundun slept with Li Xianghai and Lian Qiuping, while Sanbao slept on the same kang with Yufang.

There are many children in the family, and they are all so young, so they have to sleep separately with adults so that they can be taken care of.

Xiaofeng immediately jumped up and excitedly called Xiaofu and Xiaoya in a low voice.

Zhang Dacui quickly stopped them, saying that Xiaoya was still sleeping and that they should stop bothering her. She also told Xiaofeng to put on her clothes quickly so as not to catch a cold.

Lian Xiaomin opened the small bag she had brought with her, and inside was a paper bag of chocolates, weighing more than three pounds. She kept them all for Xiaofeng, the triplets, and Dundun.

Even Qiuping came to this room. Everyone had to work during the autumn harvest, and no one could be left at home, so the children were taken to the fields to play.

"Xiaomin, is everything going well? Oh, you've been away for quite some time, and you're finally back!"

Yes, I left at the end of April, exactly five months ago.

"Auntie, Grandma Cui, I have to go to work today. I came in from the village entrance and came to your house to say hello first, so that you can rest assured."

"...You guys hurry up and get busy. I'll go home and settle down first, and then I'll go back to work."

Li Xianghai also came in and looked at the two children.

After not seeing them for many days, Xiaofu and Xiaoya have become fairer. In the past, they ran around and played in the village every day and got tanned.

"Okay, Xiaomin, go back and go back to work in the afternoon. Ask your aunt to tell the team leader... Or should I take you to the west end of the village on my bicycle?"
