There are always strange ways to keep personal belongings.

It is safest to put your money in your underwear.

And if a pickpocket wants to steal your money, he can't just pick your underwear!

The probability of being caught is too high, and you might even be treated as a hooligan and thrown into the police station.

Xu Mo took a look at the underwear filled with motherly love and had no choice but to take it.

He had no money on him, all his money was with his wife.

Besides, my wife has her own space, so she doesn’t have to worry about things being stolen.

However, in order to reassure Liu Xiaolan, Xu Mo could not refuse the kindness from his mother.

Liu Xiaolan gave some instructions, and finally said to Xu Mo, "You little bastard, you must take good care of Jiaojiao. Don't let her get bumped on the road, understand?"

"I know, don't worry!"

Liu Xiaolan was really worried.

No matter how old a child is, he or she is still young in the eyes of his or her mother.

I wish I could stare at them all the time.

You can only feel at ease when it's under your nose.

Xu Mo was afraid that Liu Xiaolan would continue nagging, so he quickly escorted her out the door.

"Don't worry, mom. There will be no problem with me here.

It’s getting late, you should go back and rest.”

Liu Xiaolan walked down the steps, thought for a moment, turned back and said, "You little bastard, this is your first time going to your mother-in-law's house, don't embarrass me."

Xu Mo held his forehead and said repeatedly, "I know, I know."

After seeing Liu Xiaolan off, Xu Mo closed the door, checked the things he needed to bring tomorrow, then took off his clothes and went to bed.

Shen Jiaojiao lay on the bed, put down the book in her hand and asked, "Is mother gone?"

"Yeah, I'm worried about us."

"That's normal! It's not safe outside right now."

Shen Jiaojiao lay on Xu Mo's legs and used her hair to touch his Adam's apple.

"Xu Mo, I'm leaving for my house tomorrow. How do you feel?"

Xu Mo felt itchy and his Adam's apple moved subconsciously.

“Very nervous.”

Although I have met most of the Shen family, this is a formal visit, so I will definitely be nervous.

He asked again, "Wife, you must be very happy!"

"Of course I'm very happy. I haven't been home for a long time and I miss home very much."

Xu Mo stroked the girl's hair and said, "Hold on for another year. When you return to the city, you can come home more often."

Shen Jiaojiao laughed, "Xu Mo, actually that's not what I want to ask you. I want to ask you if you are afraid. After all, we promised mom that we would not have children for the time being.

But now I'm unexpectedly pregnant. What do you think? If we go back and Grandpa gets angry again, are you afraid?"

Xu Mo subconsciously touched his ribs.

The place where the three ribs were broken seemed to be aching slightly.

Thinking of Mr. Shen's dangerous eyes, Xu Mo straightened his back consciously.

I have to say that Mr. Shen's sense of oppression is really too strong.

Xu Mo was not thinking about himself now, but was thinking that the three brothers of the Shen family must be having a hard time at home!

Inexplicably, I feel a sense of happiness in this misfortune.

Maybe it was the thought that there were three guys who had suffered worse than him that instantly made him feel better.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Mo actually had the illusion that Mr. Shen still loved him very much.

He considers himself a masochist.

The man chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, my ribs have healed. Even if Grandpa wants to kick them off, I can handle it."

Shen Jiaojiao was originally joking.

But when I heard about that incident again, I couldn't help but feel sad.

"Don't worry, Xu Mo. Even if they want to blame you, I will do my best to protect you this time and will never let them hurt a hair on your head."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't believe that grandpa would beat Xu Mo without reason this time.

Besides, there is grandma at home, and as long as grandma is there, grandpa will be managed obediently.

Let him go east, he absolutely dare not go west.

Xu Mo pinched Shen Jiaojiao's face and said, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"oh."

Shen Jiaojiao pouted her red lips, and Xu Mo kissed her naturally.

Kissing before bed every night is essential.

The next day.

They both got up at daybreak.

Almost as soon as the kerosene lamp was lit in the room, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Mo put on his clothes and opened the door. It was Liu Xiaolan and Xu Laidong outside.

Both of them were holding hot fermented glutinous rice dumplings in their hands, and there were two poached eggs in the bowls.

After entering the house, Liu Xiaolan hurriedly greeted them.

"I have prepared breakfast a long time ago. I knew you would be waking up soon, so I was waiting outside the door. The dumplings are still warm. Eat them while they are hot. After you eat, quickly ask your father to take you to the city."

Shen Jiaojiao hadn't put on her clothes yet.

Liu Xiaolan went over again and took the coat and put it on her.

"How many layers are you wearing? It's snowing hard outside, don't get frozen."

Shen Jiaojiao lifted the hem of her clothes to show Liu Xiaolan, "I'm wearing three layers, including warm underwear, sweaters, and cotton clothes. I won't be cold."

What's more, you have to wear a coat outside.

Liu Xiaolan buttoned up Shen Jiaojiao's clothes.

He continued, "Don't forget your scarf and hat. You'll need to bring your quilt to the oxcart later, so you need to cover yourself up."

He helped her put on her clothes and went to get some hot water for Shen Jiaojiao to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

Shen Jiaojiao was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

My heart is always warm.

After washing up and having breakfast, it’s time to set off.

It was beginning to get light outside.

Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo were half lying in the ox cart, covering themselves tightly so that not even a bit of cold wind could get in.

"Mom, we're leaving first. Take care of yourself at home, eat well, and wait for us to come back."

Shen Jiaojiao waved towards Liu Xiaolan.

Liu Xiaolan also raised her hand and waved, "My dear, be careful on the road! Give us a letter when you get there."

"knew."

"knew."

The two people's answers gradually faded away.

Liu Xiaolan felt a lump in her throat as she looked at the ox cart far away in her sight.

I always feel uneasy without Jiaojiao around.

"Why!"

He sighed and went back to his room dejectedly.

Two hours later, Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo arrived at the train station.

As the year draws to a close, the railway station is bustling with people.

The two said goodbye to Xu Laidong and got on the train.
