Zhou Zhou stretched out his hand to push Zhou Shixun away in disgust, his little brows furrowed, and he kept saying, "No, no, Daddy stinks, I don't want Daddy to hold me."

Sheng An Ning was a little surprised. She leaned over and smelled Zhou Shixun. It seemed like there was a faint smell of tobacco mixed with the cold smell of laundry soap, but there was no bad smell.

There was no difference between this and Zhou Shixun's usual return.

"Where have you been? How come Zhou Zhou smells something bad on you?"

Zhou Shixun shook his head: "I have been at work. I had two meetings in the afternoon. Some people smoked during the meetings, so the smell of cigarettes might have been a bit strong."

Sheng An Ning wrinkled her nose again: "Strange, it's almost the same as usual, this little guy, could it be that he smells something different?"

Smiling, she stretched out her hand: "Come here, Zhou Zhou, let mommy hold you, and see if mommy stinks."

Zhou Zhou happily threw himself into his mother's arms, hugged Sheng An Ning's neck tightly, and rubbed his little face against her neck again and again: "Mom doesn't stink, Mom smells good."

Zhou Hongyun heard this and came over to smell it curiously. He smiled and patted Zhou Zhou's little butt: "Little troublemaker, do you dislike your dad smoking? Where does it stink?"

Zhou Zhou giggled and held Sheng An Ning's neck tightly.

Sheng An Ning felt a little suspicious, because like before, Zhou Zhou could smell smells that others couldn't.

After the children followed Zhou Hongyun to sleep, Sheng Anning and Zhou Shixun returned to the room and asked, "Have you been worried about anything recently? Did something happen?"

Zhou Shixun shook his head: "No, there were some difficult things at work these past two days, so everyone smoked a lot during the meeting, and Lao Duan and the others also like to smoke rolled leaf tobacco, which has a stronger smell. Zhou Zhou may not be used to it."

After saying this, he emphasized: "But I don't smoke."

Sheng Anning didn't think much about it, mainly because Zhou Shixun really wouldn't lie to her. He would always tell her anything she asked. She believed that Zhou Shixun was really under a lot of work pressure recently. After all, he was a nuclear security unit, and the responsibility on his shoulders must be very heavy.

Comforting Zhou Shixun: "I can't help you with work, but my dad always says that in any matter, as long as you work hard enough and pay enough attention during the process, you can accept any result calmly in the end."

Zhou Shixun smiled and rubbed Sheng Anning's head: "Go to sleep quickly, we will take the children to Shichahai for ice skating tomorrow."

In order to go ice skating, Zhou Shixun got up early in the morning and worked hard with Zhou Nanguang in the yard. They made a sled that was one meter long and forty to fifty centimeters wide, and fixed three small benches on it.

The three kids sat on it, Zhou Shixun pulled it from the front, and Sheng Anning pushed it from the back to go out to Shichahai.

It's cold now, and a thick layer of ice will form on the Shichahai Lake in winter. Since there are no entertainment activities, many people will come to Shichahai to skate, bringing their own ice skates and small carts.

In addition to those who bring their children to play, there are also many young people coming.

People are playing in groups of three or four on the ice. There are also people selling candied haws around, or pushing carts selling big bowls of tea, sesame cakes, and the unique winter sugar melons.

Li Tingting also dragged Shen Man to Shichahai to skate. Originally, they just wanted to come for fun, so they specially wore a red top and a white scarf. When the time comes, they will glide across the ice as lightly as a butterfly, which will definitely attract a lot of people's attention.

She enjoys being noticed.

The person Shen Man liked went abroad, so she had no time to dress up. She wore a black cotton coat and a navy blue scarf, blending in with a group of people wearing the same color clothes, and was very inconspicuous.

Li Tingting swung her two long braids and glided lightly on the ice. She went to find Shen Man who was sitting by the lake tying her ice skates. "The weather is really nice today. There will definitely be a lot of people soon. Let's play for a while and then go listen to storytelling."

Shen Man was still not in a hurry: "We are here to relax, you see how anxious you are, if there are too many people, we can play for a while less."

Li Tingting didn't say anything either. She stood beside Shen Man waiting for her. She looked around and suddenly saw Sheng An Ning's figure. Then she saw a tall figure pulling a small ice sled with three children sitting on it. They were all dressed warmly, two of them wearing light blue scarves and hats, and one child wearing a pink scarf and hat.

Even though we were far apart, I could still feel the happiness of the three children.

Sheng Anning was wearing a bright yellow waist-hugging down jacket, a white rabbit fur hat, and a rabbit fur scarf, making her stand out in the crowd.

Li Tingting stared at Sheng An Ning for a long time, then moved her eyes to the man. The military green coat would make many people look bloated and shabby, but on this man, it made him look taller and more upright.

Like green pines and cypresses standing among the snow-capped mountains, they are cool and elegant.

Shen Man put on her skates and stood up. Seeing Li Tingting staring in one direction, she looked over curiously: "What are you looking at? Did you see anyone you know?"

Li Tingting raised her chin: "Look at Sheng Anning and her child, that should be her man."

When Shen Man heard this, she immediately looked over with eyes full of admiration, muttering, "He's a great hero."

Li Tingting curled her lips with some disdain. In her eyes, what kind of hero is that? They join the army because they can't afford to eat, and they have to obey orders and rush to the front in the war. If they die, they will be a martyr, and if they don't die, they will be a hero.

He came back alive and was promoted, but in fact he has no culture at all.

Shen Man's face flushed with excitement, and she took Li Tingting's hand and said, "We can just go over and say hello. Let's go together."

After saying this, he didn't give Li Tingting a chance to refuse and pulled her towards Sheng Anning's family.

The closer I get, the more excited I become. My heart beats faster and my face turns redder.

When he stood in front of Sheng An Ning's family, he was speechless.

Sheng An Ning didn't expect to run into Li Tingting and Shen Man when she was out playing. Shen Man's face flushed, her eyes were nervous, and she would steal a glance at Zhou Shixun from time to time, but that look was definitely not one of love and affection. She looked at her strangely: "What a coincidence."

But he didn't look at Li Tingting who was standing next to Shen Man, nor did he intend to talk to her.

Shen Man blushed and nodded quickly: "Yes...it's quite a coincidence, you guys...come and play too..."

She was always so graceful and elegant, but now she began to stutter and she wished she could dig open the crack in the ice and crawl into it.

Sheng An Ning nodded. Seeing Shen Man like this, she had no interest in talking: "Then you guys play, we'll leave first."

While signaling Zhou Shixun to pull the cart away, she bent down and pushed Mo Mo, who was sitting at the back, and the three little ones giggled happily again.

Shen Man watched them walk away, her face still flushed, and she could still clearly feel her accelerated heartbeat.

Li Tingting was very puzzled and pushed Shen Man: "What's wrong with you? Are you attracted to Sheng Anning's man?"
