Sheng An Ning walked into the house and sat down, looking at the pile of things on the coffee table in the living room and Zhou Chaoyang on the sofa, and still felt it was unreal.

Zhou Chaoyang held An An in his arms and kissed her fiercely, making An An laugh so hard that she couldn't breathe.

He put An An down and grabbed Mo Mo to kiss him. Mo Mo had a tense face the whole time, and he was not happy but he was not resisting.

Zhou Nanguang watched Zhou Chaoyang and the children playing with a smile in his eyes. After a while, he spoke: "Chaoyang, be gentle. Look, you kissed Momo's little face and made it red."

Zhou Chaoyang then put Momo down and laughed while chatting with Sheng Anning and the others: "I have a month's vacation this time, and you guys will be on summer vacation by then, so we can have fun."

Zhou Hongyun laughed: "You are so old, but you are still like a child. You think about playing all day long. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I see Chaoyang has lost a lot of weight."

Zhou Chaoyang touched his face and said, "Have you lost weight? I have gained a lot of weight recently. I often go to my eldest brother's cadre cafeteria to eat. Their food is very good. We have dinner twice a week, and each dinner has braised pork and stewed chicken nuggets."

He spoke cheerfully and heartlessly.

For dinner, because Zhou Chaoyang came back suddenly, no special dishes were added. It was still fried noodles with soybean paste, and the toppings included shredded cabbage, leeks, and shredded yellow radish.

Zhou Chaoyang was very happy. He found the largest enamel bowl, put a lot of noodles in it, added some various vegetables, and topped it with fragrant fried sauce, mixing it until every noodle was covered with the sauce.

"It smells so good. I wanted to eat this when I was there. I couldn't get the authentic fried sauce at all."

Zhou Hongyun looked at him lovingly and said, "Then eat more. I'll make it for you when you want to eat it."

Sheng An Ning was eating her meal while looking at Zhou Chaoyang who was happily eating noodles. She wondered if she would go crazy with joy if she knew Lu Changfeng was still alive.

But this matter cannot be told!

After dinner, Sheng Anning, Mu Xiaowan and Zhou Chaoyang sat down in the living room and began to chatter about what had happened during this period.

Mu Xiaowan was even more curious about Zhou Chaoyang's life there: "Is it particularly desolate over there? I heard that even toilet paper is hard to buy. Is it..."

Zhou Chaoyang chuckled, "You've heard that it's pretty good over there. There are more than 100,000 people in the base, and the family compound has more than 10,000 people living there. It's like a small city, with everything, including a movie theater. There are schools and hospitals, too. If the family is too busy and the children have no place to eat, there's a staff cafeteria in the family compound where they can eat."

Then he said to Sheng An Ning: "The house you are assigned is very close to the cafeteria."

Mu Xiaowan was a little envious: "Now that you mention it, I want to go too. Then you can see each other every day. I'll be alone in Beijing."

Zhou Chaoyang laughed and said, "You should go too. You will leave my second brother alone in Beijing. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

Mu Xiaowan snorted: "Why would I be reluctant to give it up?"

Zhou Chaoyang took the initiative to talk about Song Xiuyan's feelings again: "I didn't expect that Song Xiuyan met a girl he really liked over there. If nothing unexpected happens, they can get married by the end of the year."

Sheng An Ning was quite curious: "Is it done? Didn't you say before that Song Xiuyan was still pursuing that girl?"

Zhou Chaoyang shook his head: "No, it was that girl who liked him first. I don't know who spread the rumor that Song Xiuyan went to the base because of me. She decisively gave up her love and even went through the transfer procedures. Song Xiuyan chased her again. It seems that a lot of things happened in between. I am not very clear. I have to avoid suspicion of this matter. I haven't seen Song Xiuyan for a long time."

She sincerely hoped that Song Xiuyan could find a girl he liked and who also liked him and live a good life, and not waste his time on her, it was not worth it.

The three sisters sat on the sofa and chatted until late at night. It was only when Zhou Chaoyang came back from a train ride that she felt so sleepy that she went to bed.

Sheng An Ning was also sleeping alone now. Zhou Chaoyang came out of the shower and insisted on sleeping with Sheng An Ning.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Chaoyang suddenly came over, stretched out his hands to hug Sheng Anning, and didn't say anything, as if he was asleep. After a long time, he murmured, "Sister-in-law, I miss Lu Changfeng so much."

This sentence made Sheng An Ning's eyes red instantly, but there was no way to comfort her, so she reached out and patted her back gently.

Zhou Chaoyang was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Lu Changfeng is so cruel. He has never appeared in my dream, not even once."

…………

The next morning, Zhou Hongyun originally wanted to go home to visit, but because Zhou Chaoyang suddenly came back, he decided to go home in the afternoon.

I got up early in the morning and went to the market to buy a chicken and a big pork elbow. Then I worked with Aunt Zhang to braise the pork elbow and stew the chicken.

Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan still had to go to school, so they ate breakfast and left in a hurry.

Zhou Nanguang was in charge of sending the children, and Zhou Chaoyang volunteered to go with him: "Dad, I'll go with you. I can pick them up in the afternoon, so you don't have to go."

Along the way, she ran after the three children like a little kid, and the morning sun fell on her body, bringing warmth and vitality.

Zhou Nanguang's eyes were a little hot. When Zhou Chaoyang slowed down and took An An away, he said, "Chaoyang, if you encounter any grievances, remember to tell your family."

Zhou Chaoyang scratched his short hair and said, "Dad, what kind of grievances can I encounter? I'm fine. No one dares to bully me! When I first went there, some people wanted me to do more work because they were seniors. I definitely won't indulge them. Don't you see whose daughter I am? How can I let them bully me so easily?"

Zhou Nanguang smiled and said, "That's good. You are a good child and have never worried your parents. But if you encounter any problems, you still have to go home and tell them. If you can't tell me, you can also tell your sister-in-law. We are a family."

Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."

After sending the three children out, Zhou Nanguang insisted on taking Zhou Chaoyang to Nansi Hutong, where there were many small shops selling old gadgets and snacks.

Zhou Chaoyang was very curious: "Why are you here for no reason? Why don't you go home?"

Zhou Nanguang looked at her lovingly and said, "There is a shop selling oil-tea fried dough twists here. It is your favorite. It was closed in the past few years. I was taking a walk a few days ago and saw that it was open again."

Zhou Chaoyang was surprised: "Dad, you still remember this? I came to see it several times before, but it was never open. I heard that the family moved away. I thought I would never be able to eat their oil tea fried dough twist in this life."

Zhou Nanguang said nothing more, and walked into the alley with his hands behind his back. As a father, he naturally understood the pain in his daughter's heart. But if the child didn't want to speak, he couldn't force her.

We can only find ways to make her happier and happier!

Zhou Chaoyang naturally understood what Zhou Nanguang meant, and followed him happily: "Then I must try it carefully to see if it is still as delicious as it was back then."
