Sheng An Ning was at home playing with her children, anxiously waiting for Zhou Shixun to come back. This matter must have a result.

As a result, Zhou Shixun didn't come back until almost noon, but Zhou Chaoyang and Mu Xiaowan came instead. They came back with a bag of apples and a few bottles of soda.

An An was like a puppy with a nose. When she saw Zhou Chaoyang, she opened her little arms and ran over like a little butterfly: "Aunt, Xiang Xiang."

Zhou Chaoyang picked up An An happily and said, "Our An An has a puppy nose. Did she know that Auntie will bring back delicious food?"

Sheng Anning was also quite puzzled: "Where did you two go? You bought apples and soda."

Zhou Chaoyang held An An and sat down on the sofa: "We didn't buy the apples. Xiao Wan took me to Sanyuan Bridge to pick them. We also bought some soda when we came back."

Mu Xiaowan put a bag of apples on the coffee table and looked around. Only Sheng Anning and the three children were in the living room: "Aunt and the others are not here?"

Sheng Anning shook her head: "Auntie went to buy vegetables, and my mother and aunt went to buy wool. They said it was getting cold and it was time to knit sweaters for the three children."

Mu Xiaowan relaxed instantly, collapsed on the sofa, and stretched lazily: "Then I can relax. I haven't been home for many days. I can't even lie down at home. Chaoyang and I cleaned until midnight."

Zhou Chaoyang groaned, annoyed: "I was thinking of going back with you so I could have a good chat with you about what happened between you and my second brother in the new province, but I didn't expect that I was working the whole time. It was almost three o'clock when I took a shower and lay down. I was so sleepy that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down and forgot to ask you."

Early in the morning, I followed Mu Xiaowan to eat a delicious breakfast. In her words, after being away from Beijing for so many days, she missed Beijing's bean juice, fried dough sticks, fried liver, and mending meat pies...

After breakfast, Mu Xiaowan took her to steal apples again. She was so excited that she forgot to ask. On the way back, she was still discussing the excitement of stealing apples. When Sheng An Ning mentioned it, she remembered the purpose of her following last night.

Sheng An Ning had nothing to do, so she could just ask Mu Xiaowan to chat with her to kill some time while waiting.

"Yes, what did you and Luan Cheng do when you went to the new province? What's the case you mentioned?"

Mu Xiaowan smiled and said, "It's nothing. We are all from the same hometown, so Zhou Luancheng took good care of me along the way. Also, since I didn't have a lodging certificate, I couldn't stay in a state-owned hotel or guesthouse, so Zhou Luancheng helped me."

People over there are much more stubborn than here. Without proof, nothing will work.

Zhou Luancheng was worried that something might happen to her as a girl living in a small hotel near the station, so he kept her with him.

Sheng An Ning exclaimed after hearing this: "Is that the end? Didn't anything ambiguous happen?"

They've been alone together for so many days, is there really nothing going on?

Mu Xiaowan blushed and reached out to push Sheng Anning: "We are all busy worrying about your condition, so we don't have time to think about anything else. Besides, after we moved into the guesthouse, Zhou Luancheng went out early and came back late every day, and I didn't dare to run around and cause trouble for him."

When we got there, we found that we didn't meet any Han people, and we couldn't even speak their language. In addition, their appearance was different from that of the Han people, which made us feel inexplicably scared.

It was only after he went to Pit No. 3 with Zhou Luancheng and met many herdsmen who were treated warmly and hospitably that Mu Xiaowan changed his mind.

I thought and sighed: "The scenery over there is really beautiful, the meat is delicious, the fruit is sweet, and the feeling of riding a horse is really good."

As she spoke, she gestured to Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning. Anning bit into the apple that Zhou Chaoyang had casually wiped, and looked at Mu Xiaowan with a giggle, thinking that this aunt was so funny.

Sheng An Ning looked at Mu Xiaowan with a beaming smile as she spoke. Her love for someone and the things she had experienced were jumping in her eyes and eyebrows and could not be hidden.

When they were talking happily, Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun came back with a bunch of things and bought windmills for the three children. The three children were instantly attracted and went to the yard to play with the windmills.

Zhou Hongyun looked after the children in the yard, letting Zhong Wenqing and the others chat in the house.

Zhong Wenqing saw that everyone in the family was there, and glanced at Zhou Chaoyang: "You didn't go to work again?"

Zhou Chaoyang held his stomach and said, "I didn't get enough rest last night, so I asked for a day off."

Zhong Wenqing tapped Zhou Chaoyang's brow, then looked at Sheng Anning: "We're all at home today, let's make dumplings, I asked Auntie to buy some pork belly."

Sheng Anning had no objection, Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng both liked eating dumplings.

Zhou Luancheng likes it, it’s really pure love.

Zhou Shixun likes it in order to make up for past regrets.

After all, he was not allowed to eat dumplings at home when he was a child, and the first time he ate dumplings was when he was in the army, so he thought dumplings were the most delicious thing in the world.

After the aunt came back, Sheng Anning and the others helped to chop the stuffing and make the dumplings.

Sheng An Ning looked at the clock on the wall from time to time. It was almost twelve o'clock, and Zhou Luancheng and Zhou Shixun had not returned yet.

I couldn't help but wonder, why did it take so long? Could it be that Chen Yanqing would never speak?

After the dumplings were wrapped, Zhou Shixun and his brother had not returned yet, so Zhong Wenqing asked his aunt to cook the dumplings first and called Sheng Anning and the others to bring the children over to eat: "Don't wait for Shixun and Luancheng, they don't know when they will be back, you can't go hungry."

When Sheng Anning, Zhou Chaoyang and Mu Xiaowan were eating dumplings with their three children, Zhou Shixun and Song Xiuyan came over.

When Zhou Chaoyang saw Song Xiuyan, he inexplicably shrank his neck as if feeling guilty, and turned his face away, pretending he didn't see it.

Sheng An Ning was surprised. She had left with Zhou Luancheng in the morning, but when she came back, it was Song Xiuyan who came with her: "Where's Luancheng? Why didn't he come back with you? Come on, wash your hands and come over to eat dumplings. They're fresh out of the pot."

Zhou Shixun responded: "I still have some things to deal with in Luancheng, I will be back later."

Song Xiuyan also saw Zhou Chaoyang and went over to pull her pigtails: "Zhou Chaoyang, you asked for leave again? Are you sick again? I will definitely talk to your leader later."

Zhou Chaoyang tugged at Song Xiuyan's hand irritably and pouted, "Are you annoying? What's wrong with me asking for leave? I have a lot of things to do at home. And I haven't taken my annual leave yet. Besides, when I'm at work, I can do the work of three people. What's wrong with taking a day off?"

Seeing that Zhou Chaoyang was about to get angry, Song Xiuyan quickly withdrew his hand: "It's nothing, I see that you don't look well, why don't you take a rest for a few more days, I will go talk to your leader."

Zhou Chaoyang snorted, glared at him, and sat next to Mu Xiaowan with the bowl in his hand.

Sheng Anning watched the two bickering with a smile, and waited until Zhou Shixun came back from washing his hands before asking, "How is it? Any progress?"
