Shen Yuandao saw Su Mianmian's confusion and whispered in her ear, "My aunt is a soldier. She met my uncle in the army. They fell in love. Just when they were about to get married, the war broke out. They went to the battlefield together, and my aunt never came back."
"I...I'm sorry, I don't know."
Shen Yuandao shook his head and continued:
"After that, my uncle remained unmarried. My grandpa and mom were worried about him, so they introduced him to two blind dates, but he refused to go, saying he wanted to stay with my aunt and had no plans to get married.
Later, my grandfather and mother knew that he was upset and stopped forcing him, and it has been delayed until now."
The two were engrossed in their discussion when Uncle Yun turned around and looked at them. "Come on, what are you two young couples standing there for?"
"Oh, here comes uncle."
Shen Yuandao responded loudly and took Su Mianmian into the house.
Inside the house, Old Man Yun was teasing little Ayan. When he saw a few people coming in, he quickly asked them to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Old Man Yun looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, how are your grandparents doing now?"
"Okay, I'm in good health."
After hearing this, Old Master Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I've been busy and have no time. Last time you wrote to me saying you saw your aunt, I was planning to go there with your uncle to see your aunt and visit your grandparents. But then your aunt, your uncle-in-law, and An'an came, so your uncle and I didn't make the trip."
Hearing the familiar name, little Ayan raised his head and asked blankly: "An An? Is it Brother An An?"
Old Master Yun looked at him lovingly, "It's your brother An An."
"Ayan hasn't seen Brother An'an for a long time."
Old Master Yun touched his head and asked, "Do you miss your brother An An?"
"I thought so." Little Ayan nodded.
The old man and the young man were chatting happily. Uncle Yun glanced at the time and stood up. "You guys chat first, I'll go cook."
Yun Sheng looked up at him and said, "Brother, Old Shen and I will help you."
"Okay!"
Uncle Yun nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.
Shen Junhong and Yun Sheng also stood up and followed him.
In the living room, after the three people left, a few people started chatting.
Shen Yuandao told Mr. Yun about Su Mianmian's pregnancy. Mr. Yun was overjoyed and quickly looked at Su Mianmian.
"Really? How many months?"
Su Mianmian smiled and said, "Just one and a half months, Grandpa."
Old Master Yun gave Shen Yuandao an appreciative look, "Of course, Xiaoyuan, you are much more promising than that uncle."
Shen Yuandao smiled complacently, peeled an orange for Su Mianmian and handed it to her.
Old Master Yun looked at the two of them and suddenly thought of something. He looked at them with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, did I, the old man, know that Miss Mian was pregnant before your grandfather did?"
Su Mianmian thought about it and it seemed to be true. Her parents didn’t know about it yet, but the letter would probably arrive soon.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Old Man Yun understood and burst into laughter. "I'm going to write a letter to Old Man Shen to show off."
“Grandpa, my grandfather probably knew about it a long time ago when the letter you wrote reached Sanyang Brigade.” Shen Yuandao reminded quietly on the side.
Old Master Yun patted Shen Yuandao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. I am happy to write."
Old Master Yun had a strong hand, and he slapped Shen Yuandao so hard that he grimaced in pain. "Okay, okay, just write it. I'm not stopping you from writing."
Old Master Yun smiled proudly and looked at little Ayan, "Humph! Come on, Ayan, accompany grandpa to write a letter to your Grandpa Shen."
After saying that, Old Man Yun, leaning on his crutches, took little Ayan to the study upstairs.
Su Mianmian looked at Shen Yuandao, who shrugged, “It’s okay, grandpa and grandpa often do this.”
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..."
The two of them didn't stay for a while when the phone rang. Su Mianmian poked Shen Yuan and said, "Ayuan, the phone is ringing."
Shen Yuandao walked over and answered the phone.
"Hello? Yes."
"Well, come and see grandpa and uncle, huh."
"What? Wait for me, I'll come to you soon."
After Shen Yuandao hung up the phone, he looked at Su Mianmian with an apologetic look, "There's news about the case in the bureau. Huaichuan wants to see me, so I have to go out."
Su Mianmian nodded, "The case is important, go quickly."
"Wait for me to come back and pick you and Ayan up in the evening. Now I'm leaving." After saying that, she waved to him and turned to leave.
After Shen Yuandao left, Su Mianmian stayed alone in the living room. Yun Sheng in the kitchen saw that Su Mianmian was the only one in the kitchen, so he walked over and sat next to Su Mianmian.
"Mianmian, where did they all go?"
"Grandpa took Ah Yan to the study. Ah Yuan went out for something."
"Boring, right? Your uncle's meal will be ready soon. Your uncle cooks delicious food. You should eat more later."
Su Mianmian nodded in response.
Seeing that she was bored, Yun Sheng handed her a newspaper and said, "Read this. The meal will take a while to be ready."
Su Mianmian lowered her head to read the newspaper. Yun Sheng patted her shoulder and went back to help in the kitchen.
…
The other side
When Qin Huaichuan saw Shen Yuandao coming over, he quickly handed him the things he had asked someone to investigate, and then began to tell him about it.
Shen Yuandao was puzzled after hearing this. "Li Zhong? That Li Zhong? Do we know this person?"
"Oh! It's Li Zhong, whom Aunt Zhou Cuifang later married." Qin Huaichuan explained.
Shen Yuandao frowned, becoming even more confused, "Are you talking about Li Yanrong's stepfather? How is this possible?"
Everyone in the compound knew that Li Yanrong's stepfather was a good man who supported his comrades' wives and children.
Qin Huaichuan shrugged, took a sip of the boiled water beside him, and then slowly spoke.
"I don't believe it either. After Li Yanrong's father died, Aunt Zhou's family kicked out the pregnant Aunt Zhou. Uncle Li married Aunt Zhou to give her a place to live. Later, he always treated Li Yanrong as his own daughter. Everyone in the compound knew about this, and many people praised Uncle Li for his kindness and responsibility.
But the results of this investigation are related to him."
Shen Yuandao thought about it and handed over what Qin Huaichuan had just shown him.
"Regardless of whether it's him or not, send a copy of the findings to Captain Song so they can take a look. Oh, Uncle Mianmian works at the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Give me another copy and I'll give it to him to see if he can help."
Qin Huaichuan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. As for the evidence for Uncle Su, I will deliver it to him personally tonight."
Shen Yuandao gave him a disdainful look and said, "It's up to you. It doesn't matter who gives it to you." If you want to see Su Qingqing, just say it directly. Why make excuses?
"Then I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sort these things out and send them to Captain Song, and then go find Qingqing."
Qin Huaichuan said this with a smile on his face. He could finally see his own Qingqing.
"Okay. Then I'll leave first. Do you need me to give you a ride?" Qin Huaichuan walked to the door and looked back at Shen Yuandao.
