After hearing this, little Ayan immediately refused to listen, "Ayan is not drooling! Humph! Sister is so mean!"
"Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault. Our little Ayan should hurry up and eat, okay?"
Little Ayan nodded and ate the food Su Mianmian fed him.
After dinner, Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan were washing dishes when they heard someone knocking on the door.
Shen Yuandao opened the door and saw the team leader and a postman wearing army green clothes and pushing a bicycle standing outside.
"Uncle Captain, why are you here? Is there something urgent?" Shen Yuandao asked doubtfully.
The team leader smiled and pointed to the postman behind him and said, "Shen Zhiqing, this Comrade Xiao Wang came to deliver letters and packages. When he arrived at your yard, he found no one there. I happened to run into him, so I brought them to him."
The postman Xiao Wang came forward, smiled and nodded to Shen Yuandao, and handed him two packages and two letters. “Comrade Shen, these are your packages and letters, and the other package is for Comrade Qin.”
Shen Yuandao took the package and letter and thanked them quickly.
"Uncle Captain, Comrade Postman, it's very cold outside. Shall we go inside to warm up?"
The captain waved his hand and said, "No, no."
The postman Xiao Wang also agreed: "That's right, Shen Zhiqing, I have to continue on my way. It's Chinese New Year, and every household is waiting to receive the mail."
Seeing this, Shen Yuandao stopped trying to persuade them to stay. He took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to the team leader and the postman Xiao Wang respectively.
"It's New Year's Day, thank you both for your hard work. Take this candy and sweeten your mouths."
The team leader and the postman Xiao Wang took the candy, thanked them repeatedly and left.
Shen Yuandao returned to the house carrying the package.
Qin Huaichuan saw Shen Yuandao coming back and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Shen Yuandao handed Qin Huaichuan’s package and letter to him, and said with a smile: “It’s the team leader and the postman Xiao Wang. Here are your packages and letters.”
Qin Huaichuan took the package and letter excitedly. He couldn't wait to open the letter, but the first sentence made his face freeze.
"Are you itching for trouble, little brat?" Qin Huaichuan was a little confused by the words written on the letter.
What's going on? Is he not their eldest son anymore?
Qin Huaichuan finished reading the letter and opened the package.
Inside were some New Year's goods and local specialties sent by his parents, as well as two new sweaters.
My parents wrote in the letter that they knitted a sweater for their future daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect that he also had one.
"Ayuan, my mom and your mom are coming to see us."
Shen Yuandao nodded, “Yes, my mother said it in the letter.”
As the two were talking, Su Mianmian came out of the room. She whispered, "What did you two do? What's going on?"
"It's a package from my parents. Here, this is for you."
Then he handed Su Mianmian a sweater.
Qin Huaichuan twitched his lips when he saw the sweater Shen Yuandao took out. How come this sweater is so similar to the one his mother sent him?
Su Mianmian quite likes hand-knitted sweaters, and her eyes lit up when she saw the one Shen Yuandao handed over.
Shen Yuandao smiled faintly and took out a super small sweater and handed it to Su Mianmian.
"There's more here! This one belongs to little Ayan."
"Wow! Thank your parents for me. How thoughtful."
Su Qingqing also left the room at this time. She and Su Mianmian coaxed little Ayan to sleep together. Little Ayan didn't fall asleep, but Su Qingqing coaxed herself to sleep first.
At this moment, she heard a loud noise outside the window and woke up involuntarily.
When I came out, I saw Su Mianmian holding a sweater and talking to Shen Yuandao.
Qin Huaichuan saw her coming out and pulled her to his side. "Come, this one is for you. This one belongs to Xiao Ayan."
Su Mianmian turned around immediately after hearing this and said, "Our little Ayan got two at once."
"By the way, my mom and Ayuan's mom might come over in a few days. They said they're here to see their future daughter-in-law."
Su nodded slightly and said, "Come on."
At this time, the gate was knocked again, breaking the silence in the house.
As soon as Qin Huaichuan put down the package in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh in surprise, "What day is it today? Why do people keep knocking on the door?"
Su Mianmian got up to open the door. When she saw Song Qingshan standing at the door, a hint of confusion appeared on her face.
"Captain Song, please come in, please come in." Su Mianmian greeted warmly and led Song Qingshan into the house.
She quickly poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Song Qingshan.
After hearing the noise, Shen Yuandao, Qin Huaichuan and Su Qingqing packed up the packages and letters in their hands and followed them into the house.
Shen Yuandao looked at Song Qingshan and asked, "Captain Song, what happened?"
Song Qingshan took a sip of hot water and smiled bitterly, "I really need your help this time."
When Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous. They all remembered what happened when they went to the mountain last time.
Qin Huaichuan was also held hostage and injured that time.
"Did things not go well last time?" Qin Huaichuan asked.
Song Qingshan nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, last time we helped catch that person, we immediately took him back for interrogation and found out that he was just a messenger sent to report the incident. The real thief of cultural relics was hiding in the mountains.
After hearing the news from him, we immediately rushed back to the mountain, only to find that the person who actually stole the cultural relics had noticed our actions and was fleeing.
"What happened next?" Shen Yuandao asked nervously.
Song Qingshan sighed, "Because of our arrival, they lost their composure and ran straight into the homes of nearby farmers. We were worried that they would become desperate and harm innocent villagers, so we didn't dare to act rashly."
Hearing this, Su Mianmian couldn't help but ask, "So, do you mean for us to go to the farmers' homes to investigate?"
Song Qingshan nodded, a hint of helplessness in his words.
"Yes, I think all of our people know those people. I thought of you. You are not public security personnel, but ordinary educated youth. Plus, you have some martial arts skills. That's why we came up with this idea."
"You can pretend to be relatives of that farmer's family. The third day of the Lunar New Year is the day to visit relatives. You can help go and visit them."
Several people looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Shen Yuandao stated: “Okay, we are willing to go.”
Shen Yuandao pondered for a moment, then added: "However, only Mianmian and I can go, Huaichuan and Qingqing will wait for news at home."
Su Mianmian nodded repeatedly after hearing this. She agreed with Shen Yuandao's arrangement: "Yes, Qingqing will stay at home to look after the children, and Qin Huaichuan will accompany Qingqing."
Qin Huaichuan showed hesitation on his face. Although he knew that he was not as powerful as Shen Yuandao, he was unwilling to stand idly by and watch: "How about I go with you?"
Song Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. We will be guarding nearby. If there is any danger, we are here to help."
