"Mom, I brought guests over." Leng Qiao shouted towards the kitchen.
Cheng Shuhua walked out while wiping her hands on her apron.
When she saw Leng Yi, she was stunned for a moment, "This is..."
"Mom!" Leng Qiao walked over and took his mother's arm. "This is my eldest cousin Leng Yi. The one from last time was a fake."
"Look how much he looks like my dad. He is from our Leng family."
Cheng Shuhua's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on her face. "Come in and sit down. We're almost ready for dinner."
"Brother, sister-in-law, this is my mother!" Leng Qiao introduced her to Yang Qing and Leng Yi.
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
She hasn't recognized Leader Leng yet, so it's not wrong to call her Auntie since she is Uncle Leng Yi's wife.
"Hurry up and sit down!" Cheng Shuhua smiled and called Leng Hui and Leng Qiao, "Xiao Hui, please serve the guests. Qiao Qiao, come and help me serve the dishes."
"By the way, I'll cook two more dishes for the guests." Cheng Shuhua said and walked into the kitchen again.
After entering the kitchen, Cheng Shuhua took a deep breath to calm herself down, opened the cupboard, took out some eggs and started frying them.
During the meal, Leng Qiao was very enthusiastic and kept inviting Yang Qing and Leng Yi to eat. Leng Hui's attitude was a little cold, probably because the person he brought before was fake, so his expression was a little unnatural.
What Yang Qing found most strange was Leng Qiao's mother. He always felt that she was a little embarrassed.
Logically, it should be Leng Yi and I who should be nervous. Why is she, an elder, nervous? And in her own home, it's really strange.
Not long after dinner, Leng Jiashan came back and was stunned when he saw Leng Yi.
Leng Yi immediately recognized him as his uncle. His appearance had not changed much, except that he was more mature and stable than when he was young.
"Second Uncle!" Leng Yi called out and stood up, and Yang Qing also stood up quickly.
"Are you Xiaoyi?" Leng Jiashan was a little excited. He took a few quick steps and looked at Leng Yi. "It's really you!"
Leng Yi smiled, "Second Uncle, long time no see!"
"You've grown up so much, that's great!" Leng Jiashan patted Leng Yi's shoulder excitedly, "Great, that's great!"
Cheng Shuqing looked nervous and a little depressed, which made Yang Qing even more confused.
"Second uncle, this is my wife Yang Qing." Leng Yi introduced Yang Qing.
Yang Qing hurriedly called out, "Second Uncle!"
"Sit down!" Leng Jiashan asked the two to sit down and asked his wife to make tea.
"When did Xiaoyi come?" Leng Jiashan asked.
"It was this morning..." Leng Yi replied.
Leng Qiao said, "Dad, you may not know that our department's car broke down this morning, so I took my eldest brother's car back to the base. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"When I saw him, I thought he looked familiar, but I didn't think much of it at the time."
"Later, when they passed the assessment and were entering their information, Zhang Ping called me. That's when I realized he must be the real Leng Yi, and the previous one must have been a fake, so I brought them home."
Leng Qiao looked at her father proudly after she finished speaking, but he didn't praise her but fell silent instead.
"Dad, you didn't know this a long time ago, did you?"
Yang Qing and Leng Yi both looked towards Leng Jiashan.
Leng Jiashan nodded. "I guessed it. That child doesn't look like Xiaoyi when he was a child. Although I haven't seen him for many years, Xiaoyi was a handsome boy when he was young. He shouldn't look like that."
"Besides, he's obviously not a soldier, how could he have been in the army? But I think he's also my eldest brother's child, and he might just be pretending to be Xiaoyi to get our care. I'll just turn a blind eye and give my eldest brother an explanation."
Yang Tingting couldn't help but ask, "Is Leng Yi's father gone?"
Leng Jiashan nodded. "Huang Changjuan said that. She said that after the apocalypse, something happened to her eldest brother and their youngest son. She suffered a lot alone and didn't want to live anymore. Later, Xiaoyi found her, and she lived on for her husband."
Yang Qing wanted to say something, but Leng Jiashan waved his hand and said, "I know she lied. Xiaoyi didn't go back at all. She said that just to let her youngest son pretend to be Xiaoyi."
"But how did she know that you were in the military base and the person in charge here?" Leng Yi asked the question in his mind.
"Actually..." Leng Jiashan hesitated for a moment and said, "After the apocalypse, I went back to my hometown to look for you, but there was no one home at that time. I thought you were all..., so I returned to the base."
"Maybe they went back home later and heard others say that I had looked for them, so they came here."
"I knew he wasn't Xiaoyi, but I thought you were gone, and I thought he was also my eldest brother's child, so I didn't expose him."
"Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Leng Hui's face looked unhappy. He was the one who brought those two people in, but he didn't expect to bring the wrong people.
"You did the right thing. If we don't help them, how will they survive outside? At that time, I was thinking about helping my brother to leave a bloodline." Leng Jiashan sighed.
"But now seeing Xiaoyi and seeing that you are living so well, I am very relieved." Leng Jiashan looked at Leng Yi.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw two dogs outside. Leng Yi must be living a good life as he could raise dogs so well in this period of time.
"Have you passed the assessment? Have you joined the army?" Leng Jiashan asked Leng Yi.
Leng Yi nodded, "They all passed. They even wanted us to agree to let our two dogs join the military dog training camp, but I didn't agree."
"Dad, please talk to my brother and let the two little cuties come to my base. I like them so much." Leng Qiao interrupted.
Leng Jiashan ignored him. "What about you? Don't you want to join the army? With your qualifications, you can play a very good role in the army."
Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi and asked, "Do I have to join the army to enter the military base?"
"That's not the case." Leng Jiashan shook his head. "It's voluntary, but the military benefits are good, and most people who pass the assessment will join the army. Of course, there are still some people who don't join."
"There are many reasons. Some people may be good at fighting, but their quality may not be high. We also take this into consideration."
"Some people don't want to be bound by the military and want to do what they like, so they become freelancers. They exchange supplies for points, and as long as they have points, they can live in the base forever."
Leng Yi nodded, this aspect is similar to the official base.
He looked at Yang Qing, who frowned barely perceptibly. Leng Yi immediately understood what she meant, "Actually, we haven't gotten to that stage yet. We got stuck while entering our identity information. My information is already in there, but it's not me."
"Oh, that was my inconsiderateness. I thought you were gone at the time, so I didn't ask them to correct it." Leng Jiashan said quickly, "I will ask them to correct it."
"But..." Leng Yi shook Yang Qing's hand, "We don't plan to join the army either." (End of this chapter)
