Chapter 84

Hou Xiaobao is four and a half years old this year, and he is the grandson of the military chief. He was originally in the second seedling class, but because more than half of the children in the class were bullied by him, the head teacher of the seedling class had no choice but to try to educate him, but the child was raised to have an arrogant temper. It is said that even his grandmother, the chief's wife, was incompetent. The whole family spoiled him.

Finally, we could only think of transferring him to another class, from Class 2 to Class 3.

As a result, just two days after transferring, he set a record of bullying several classmates.

Several teachers in the seedling nursery classes are having a headache!

"You can't say anything or scold him. What kind of sin have we suffered? Why did he get transferred to our class?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. Just bear with it. He's going to be in the first grade soon."

"Why."

The two teachers from Class 3 who were on duty today were looking at Hou Xiaobao, who was occupying a slide during the outdoor class, and they muttered something.

There is a slide in the nursery yard. Children can slide straight down from the top to the bottom, and it is very popular among the children.

In the past outdoor classes, there were the most children near the slide, and everyone lined up to slide down it. But today was different. As soon as Hou Xiaobao went there, no one in the class dared to go over, for fear of being beaten.

The two teachers retracted their gaze and looked at places where there were many other people. Children were more likely to get bumped into, so they had to keep a closer eye on them.

Hou Xiaobao was enjoying the slide by himself. He didn’t have to queue up or wait for others to take it. He could play on it by himself. It felt so good!

"Are you Hou Xiaobao?"

Just after sliding down from the top, Hou Xiaobao was still sitting at the end of the slide when he saw four pairs of feet appear in front of him. They were much bigger than his own and all wore black cloth shoes.

Looking up, he looked up at four tall boys he didn't know.

"Right, what?"

"I heard that you are very aggressive in the nursery class?"

"A bully?"

Hou Xiaobao understood that he was here to cause trouble.

Who is he? The grandson of a chieftain, the little bully in the yard, everyone in the family dotes on him.

"What?" Hou Xiaobao showed no fear when facing four boys who were much taller than him.

Damn it!

Dunzi looked at the fearless little fat boy and gritted his teeth. If it was someone of his own age, they could have a fight to settle the score, but this little brat was only four years old and he was even more arrogant than him?!

It makes me angry just looking at it!

"Have you heard about the underwater monster that everyone is talking about recently?" Chenchen said softly.

"Undersea monster?" Hou Xiaobao's eyes flashed with a strange color, but he still said stubbornly, "It's just a trick to fool children! I don't believe it! How powerful can it be?"

"Oh, you're exactly what we want!" Dong Dong walked over and patted his head, with an expression that he regretted not meeting him earlier. "You see, the four of us were sent by the sea monster. He said he wanted to find the most powerful and bullying brat to send to the sea."

"Ah?" Hou Xiaobao's chubby body trembled violently, and his voice was a little hoarse, "What are you going to...go to the sea for?"

Wu Xiangchen stared at him and said seriously, "Take over! Our boss, the monster in the sea, is going to find the most ferocious and bullying kid. In the future, this kid will become a monster in the sea and specialize in eating people!"

“Ahhhhh!” Hou Xiaobao’s face turned pale, and his thick lips trembled up and down. “I don’t eat people! Don’t catch me!”

"What? What are you afraid of?" Dunzi also got excited. "We have observed for a long time that you are the best at bullying in this nursery class. You are simply too suitable to be a monster in the sea. In the future, you will grow three heads, eight arms and four legs, and you can bully whoever you want and eat whoever you want."

"I won't go, I won't go!" Hou Xiaobao started shouting, thinking that he would be at the bottom of the sea forever and it looked so scary.

"Don't you want to go?" Hengheng and Yan Yuese walked over with gentle tones.

"Yeah!" Hou Xiaobao was frightened. He swallowed and nodded.

If you look closely, even your chin is trembling.

"But that's not possible. You're the most bullying kid in the nursery class. Who else should we go after if not you?"

"I...I never bully anyone!"

Dunzi gritted his teeth, almost amused by this little brat. How could he lie with his eyes open? !

Good!

Looking at Dunzi's scrutinizing eyes, Hou Xiaobao lowered his head and whispered, "Well, then I will never bully anyone again. Can you please not catch me? I don't want to go into the sea."

As he spoke, he started crying.

Wu Xiangchen raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and stopped him from crying. "This is not easy. We are here under orders. Our leader gave the order."

After hearing the chief's order, Hou Xiaobao knew that his grandfather was the chief.

"I definitely don't. I don't bully people, push people or hit people."

"What if you can't do it?" Dongdong patted his shoulder.

Heng Heng continued, "If you can't do it, then you will be taken to the sea and become a monster. You can't come out during the day and can only come out at night when no one is around, howling and eating people."

“No, no! I won’t go!” Hou Xiaobao’s chubby face was still covered with tears, and his face was red from crying. He wanted to run away, but Dongdong held him down. He could only promise frantically, “I definitely won’t, I won’t bully, I can’t be a monster in the sea!”

The sea monsters were so scary. He had heard from many people that they appeared at night, looked terrible, and would eat a child in one mouthful.

"This is a difficult matter, but seeing that you are talking so nicely now, okay, we will reluctantly agree to your request."

"Really?" Hou Xiaobao, who had almost given up hope, suddenly brightened up his eyes. His heart went up and down, but finally settled down.

"But, from now on, if we hear you bullying anyone again, you will have no chance. We will directly arrest you. Believe it or not?" Dunzi's eyes were fierce and his words were cold, which scared Hou Xiaobao so much that he almost broke his head!

"I know! I'm sure, hiccup, I won't bully anyone!" Hou Xiaobao is a very pragmatic kid, and he immediately made friends with them. "Thank you, brothers!"

"Who is your elder brother? Stop yelling!" Dunzi thought this little brat was not qualified.

"Oh." Hou Xiaobao hit a wall for the first time. He was the grandson of a chief, and everyone looked up to him wherever he went. Now, when he called them "big brother", he was rejected. He looked at these big brothers again, and it seemed that none of them wanted to pay attention to him.

Or the person who is the underwater monster, seems to be very powerful!

"Go, go, go, be careful next time. I'm telling you, don't tell your family about this. We can see it everywhere. No matter what you say or do, we will know about it. Don't think that no one will know if you do something bad secretly."

"I understand." Hou Xiaobao nodded, "I won't tell anyone."

"Now, go let the other guys use the slide. Why are you using it all by yourself?"

"good."

There was no one within a few meters of Hou Xiaobao. Everyone knew that he was not easy to deal with, so they just stayed away from him. He could only jog for a while and happened to see Lu Tian, ​​whom he had pushed past today.

"Lu Tian, ​​come over and play on the slide."

Little boy Lu Tian looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, with a flash of fear in his eyes. He thought that this man must be up to something bad, so he got up and ran away without saying a word.

As soon as Lu Tian ran, the children around him also ran.

In an instant, there was no one beside Hou Xiaobao.

"Tsk, I've never seen anyone who can scare children so much, he must be the one who fears ghosts!" Dunzi put his hands on his hips and found that the current seedling class was really, tsk, incredible.

"Shuangshuang, come here!" Dongdong pulled Shuangshuang over, and brought her good friend Xixi along. "You two can play."

Shuangshuang looked around for a long time, wondering what the brothers and Hou Xiaobao were talking about.

He looked warily at Hou Xiaobao, who had been occupying the slide just now. Surprisingly, this man didn't seem so fierce anymore. When he saw him looking at him, he even gave him an ugly smile.

"Just play your game. Hou Xiaobao won't say anything, right?"

Hou Xiaobao nodded immediately.

Shuangshuang and Xixi played on the slide under the protection of their brothers. Since it was for children, the slide was actually very short, but they had a lot of fun.

When the other children saw that Hou Xiaobao really didn't want to play on the slide anymore, they came over one after another to play on the slide. Soon, the children in the nursery class started to line up again.

The outdoor class is over and parents come to pick up their children.

Hou Xiaobao's mother also came over, but she immediately noticed that something was wrong with her son. He was not as usual and seemed to be more restrained.

"Xiaobao, what's wrong with you?"

"No." Hou Xiaobao was afraid that he would be seen by those older brothers, so he shook his head immediately.

That night, the commander was still in the army handling official business, and Hou Xiaobao's father was also busy and did not come back. Only Hou Xiaobao's grandmother, mother, and second and third aunts were at the dinner table.

While eating, a few people talked about the most frightening underwater monster that has been circulating recently.

"When I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy sugar, I heard that the fishermen said they saw a monster in the sea. It looked ugly and scary, and it could tear a person's arm off with one bite."

"Is it really that amazing?" Grandma Hou narrowed her eyes and looked at her grandson who didn't eat much tonight. "Why doesn't Xiaobao eat anymore? Eat more."

“No, no, no!” Hou Xiaobao remembered what they said about making him a monster in the sea, and immediately shook his head. He would not eat it!

"This meat and vegetables are good to eat. You should eat more. Then you will grow strong and be like your grandfather."

"Xiaobao is so sturdy and plump. By the way, mom, Huailiang sent some chocolates back from Shanghai. I'll keep them for Xiaobao."

"You are really thoughtful." Grandma Hou was very satisfied. "Xiaobao, look at how well your aunt treats you and thinks about you."

Xiao Bao was about to say something impatiently as he did in the past, but suddenly he remembered something and immediately calmed down, "I know, thank you, Auntie."

Wow, the Hou family members looked at each other and all felt that the sun was rising from the west. Xiaobao actually said thank you!

——

On the other hand, Shuangshuang returned home and after dinner hesitated whether to tell her mother about Hou Xiaobao, because in the end, he let everyone play on the slide. She didn't know if he had become a good boy.

Brother Dunzi also said that he would never bully others again, and if he did so again he would tell his brothers.

"What are you thinking about in your little head?" Jian Lu noticed that the young lady was in a daze, which was rare for her.

"Nothing?" Shuangshuang turned around and tried to leave, but was pulled back by her mother.

"How do you play every day? Your butt is covered in dust."

"Mom, I was pushed by Hou Xiaobao today."

"Who pushed you?"

Jian Lu was a little upset when she heard this. Are there still arrogant students in the class? When she signed up, Jian Lu specifically asked which class the students got along best with, and that's why she chose Class 3.

Shuangshuang talked about the whole thing in a hurry, and at the end she deliberately said that her butt didn't hurt anymore.

"How many of your brother Dunzi and his friends went to look for Hou Xiaobao?"

"Um!"

"Hou Xiaobao must be the grandson of the leader." Aunt Wang loves to chat with the aunties in the family compound every day and knows a lot.

"Yes." Shuangshuang nodded, she also heard it.

"How did you teach your grandson? He turned into a bully!" Aunt Wang held Shuangshuang and took a good look at him. She was relieved when she saw that there were no other injuries. "Otherwise, Shuangshuang should not go to the nursery class. We will stay at home."

Before Jian Lu could answer, Shuangshuang got excited and said, "No! Grandma, I, I like going to school."

Although there is the annoying Hou Xiaobao, the other kids in the class are all very nice and they all like to play with everyone!

Jian Lu was thinking the same thing. When they go to school, they will meet all kinds of classmates. It is impossible to let the children stay at home forever and never go out to face the society. "Mom, I will send Shuangshuang to school tomorrow and talk to their teacher. If it is really too much, we must ask his family to take care of it. No matter if he is a leader or not, you can't teach your children like this."

The next day, Jian Lu took Shuangshuang out to school. After sending her to the classroom, she did not leave, but went to find the teacher to find out the situation.

Jian Lu also understood the difficulties of the teachers in this class. "Teacher Yang, I know some children are difficult to manage, but everyone is worried about the bumps and scratches of such young children when they are placed here. Children have delicate skin and can easily get hurt with the slightest bump. You should take the trouble to keep an eye on them."

"I understand, I understand." Teacher Yang felt bitter. Since Hou Xiaobao transferred to her class, two parents have come to ask about the situation. "Comrade Jian Lu, thank you for understanding our difficulties. We will definitely keep a close eye on them, especially the key children... Hey..."

Before Teacher Yang finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Hou Xiaobao in the classroom. The kid looked very aggressive and walked between Lu Tian and Shuang Shuang. He was not going to hit anyone, was he?

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look!" Teacher Yang ran inside in two or three steps, complaining in his heart.

Jian Lu also followed him in. If this child was really lawless, he must be disciplined!

As they approached, they saw Hou Xiaobao holding a few round things and placing them on the table of Lu Tian and Shuang Shuang. "Here are the things for you."

He threw everything away and ran away.

What was going on? Teacher Yang looked at the children in confusion, and the children around him were also confused and shook their heads.

Jian Lu recognized the object on the table as chocolate.

Is this the bully that everyone is talking about?

Hou Xiaobao returned to his seat and began to mutter, "I didn't bully anyone. Don't take me to the sea to be a monster."

When Jian Lu returned home, she didn't understand what was going on. She waited until Dunzi and others came back from school before asking them.

"Are you going to scare him with monsters from the sea?" Jian Lu was really amazed at how much the child believed in these strange stories.

"Aunt Lulu, don't worry. We're going to check on him every day. If he changes, that's good. Otherwise, we'll scare him again!"

"Aunt Lulu, all kids are like this. They bully the younger ones and are afraid of the older ones."

"This little brat dares to bully Shuangshuang. Does he really think we are dead?"

Jian Lu looked at the teenage boys in front of her and felt that they were really growing up.

"Okay, I won't worry about it for now. I won't go to his parents' place for now. If this can be changed, it's a good thing."

When she got home, Jian Lu told her mother-in-law about the incident. Aunt Wang was very happy. "Dunzi and his friends are really good to each other. It's really great."

"Yes, only they could come up with such a hassle, and even use the story of a monster in the sea to scare people. The chief's grandson should be fearless, but he was really scared by the monster."

"That's great. It saves us a lot of trouble."

Jian Lu bought a pound of candy and shared it among the children. Everyone liked to eat candy, and Shuangshuang was no exception.

Seeing that her brothers all had candies, she moved her lips and looked at her mother, her wet eyes full of desire.

"Mom~"

Jian Lu refused mercilessly, "You are still young. Eating too much candy will damage your teeth. You can only eat it once a week. You have already eaten it the day before yesterday. Do you remember?"

"I don't remember..." Both of them started to act like a spoiled brat.

But there's no point in being lazy, my mother is very cruel.

Shuangshuang changed her target and went to find her dad, "Dad, have some candy~"

Cheng Zheng, who was busy with official business in the study, raised his head slightly, took out a candy from the drawer and was about to give it to the young lady when he heard a cough coming from the door.

“Ahem.”

It was a familiar voice. Cheng Zheng put the candy back to its original place and touched the angry face of the girl. "Hold on, you can have candy next week."

“Wuwuwu…” Shuangshuang felt so aggrieved and ran away with a sigh.

Shuangshuang looks forward to the candy day every week, when she can eat sweet candies.

She was reluctant to bite the candy in her mouth and just wanted to suck and lick it slowly.

"Shuangshuang, let's go." Jian Lu looked at her daughter who had been eating a candy for a long time and hadn't finished it yet, and teased her, "There will be popsicles later, why haven't you finished your candy yet?"

Popsicles! Wow!

Shuangshuang jumped up and down happily and immediately bit the last bit of candy.

Summer is here, bringing with it a rolling heat wave and a popsicle-eating craze.

In summer, there is nothing more pleasurable than eating popsicles.

After dinner, at the beach, the scorching summer sun was still high in the sky, casting a hot glow. After dinner, many people went for a walk at the beach.

The children would scrape a few cents from the adults to buy a popsicle, which they would slowly suck on, not wanting to take a bite. They would finish the popsicle until the sun went down.

Shuangshuang saw that her father, mother, and grandmother all had popsicles in their hands, and she started to look at them one by one. She also wanted to have one.

The popsicles were emitting cold air, like wisps of white smoke, and you could feel the coolness if you got a little closer.

"Dad~" Shuangshuang lay in his arms and acted coquettishly to his soft-hearted father, "Eat popsicles!"

"Ice at this moment."

"I want it!" He was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly.

Jian Lu sat on the pony she brought with her. In the distance was the rippling blue sea, which rose and fell. The fiery red sunlight cast a little afterglow, making the sea surface sparkle.

Beside him, Shuangshuang was holding Cheng Zheng's wrists with both hands, trying to take a bite of the popsicle.

"Okay, okay, just one bite." Cheng Zheng looked at the young lady who was as anxious as a little gluttonous pig, and said with a smile in his voice.

They both opened their mouths and took a bite of the popsicle. It was so cold, so icy.

She didn't even bite it, but just took a deep sip of the popsicle. The sweet popsicle water melted in her mouth. It was so delicious.

The cool sweet water is the most delicious.

"Okay, you can't eat anymore. Your mother will scold me later."

They smacked their lips and obediently let go of the popsicle, savoring the sweet taste.

Jian Lu was in a good mood. The sea breeze blew her hair on the sides of her face, making her feel gentle and comfortable. She held the popsicle and let her girlfriend take another sip.

Not far away there is a coconut forest with fruits on the trees.

"Aunt Lulu! Uncle Cheng, Granny Wang, eat coconuts!"

Dunzi and his friends went to pick coconuts. Each of them held two coconuts in their hands and shared them with their families and neighbors.

Sipping the sweet coconut juice, Jian Lu felt more satisfied. In front of her was the blue sea, blue sky and bright sunshine, and around her were her family, both of them were holding coconuts and gulping down the juice.

"Drink slowly. No one is competing with you for the drink."

"I know." He said, and took another big gulp.

=

On the way home, Shuangshuang held her father with her left hand and her mother with her right hand, and let her father and mother pull her up.

Soon she was suspended in mid-air, giggling with laughter.

"Look, look, I'm flying."

Jian Lu felt that the girl was getting heavier and heavier, so she let go after holding on for a while, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Mom, we have to come again tomorrow and every day."

"Do you like it?"

"Yes!

The two of them especially like playing on the beach, running by the sea under the sunset, listening to the sound of the waves.

"Okay, we'll go again tomorrow!"

......

However, our hopes of going again tomorrow were dashed by a sudden typhoon.

Shuangshuang was almost four years old when she first experienced such a strong wind, which blew through the house and made the glass windows rattle.

At noon today, the radio broadcast news of a possible typhoon, so the school was suspended. Everyone prepared at home, nailed bags on the windows from the outside, stocked up on rice, flour, vegetables, and pastries, and closed every door.

The asphalt road that was bustling yesterday has now lost its hustle and bustle, with only a few soldiers in military uniforms running around.

"Grandma, is it going to rain?"

Shuangshuang only knows that when it is windy, it will rain and there may even be thunder.

"It's definitely going to rain, Shuangshuang, but you can't go out. We'll just stay at home for the next few days."

"Why?" Since Shuangshuang was born, there have been several typhoons on the island, but the overall wind speed was not too strong, so everyone just stayed at home for a few days and got through it safely. In addition, Shuangshuang was young before and had no impression of this.

"This is a typhoon. It's scary. It can even blow down trees."

"Ah!" They climbed upstairs with great effort, wanting to go to the balcony, but found that their mother had already locked the balcony on the second floor.

Jian Lu cleaned up the house and felt relieved when she saw that there were basically no safety hazards. There were still some seafood and vegetables in the house. When the typhoon was announced at noon, she and her mother-in-law urgently picked them from their own vegetable garden. They picked as much as they could, because after this typhoon, there would definitely be damage.

It’s better to eat it now.

"Shuangshuang, you can't run around. Mommy and grandma will sleep with you at night."

They both nodded and asked, "Where's Dad?"

The typhoon is coming and no one can run around. Why is Dad running around?

"Dad is a soldier and he has to go out to protect everyone."

Shuangshuang seemed to understand, frowned, and said worriedly, "Will Dad be blown down? Grandma said that typhoons can blow down trees."

Dad is not as big as the coconut tree, it’s so dangerous!

Jian Lu sat on the bed holding her daughter, listening to the howling hurricane outside. She couldn't help but worry. The crackling sound of rain came and hit her heart, "Dad is amazing, he will run away."

"Oh, Dad is awesome!" Both of them nodded.

Jian Lu looked at the howling wind and heavy rain outside and couldn't help but feel worried.

......

This time the typhoon lasted for a week. Shuangshuang found it new and fun at first. It was fun to stay at home all the time. Their mom and grandma played with them, but their dad never came back.

But after two or three days, Shuangshuang became listless. She felt bored. Even though her home was spacious enough, it was still a two-story building and still made her feel stuffy.

Auntie Wang cooked lunch, and the family ate the simple meal. "Thank goodness we moved, this place is spacious enough, otherwise we would have to live in the upstairs like before, and it would have been so crowded. We would have been stuck in the house for days without being able to go out, and it would have been even more uncomfortable for both of us."

"Yes, it's much bigger here."

"What room?" Shuangshuang held the chopsticks and could basically pick up the vegetables by himself, but sometimes he couldn't pick up meatballs and the like, and needed his mother's help.

"Mom and Dad didn't live here before. They lived over there with Juanjuan. The house is much smaller than here. If we still lived there, you would definitely be even more bored."

They ate their meal, scooped the rice into the egg custard, and used the spoon to poke and poke to mix it up. "Mom, when are we going out? When will Dad come back?"

"Soon." That was the only way Jian Lu could answer. She waited every day to see if there would be any latest news on the radio.

They both played with all the toys in the house and were so bored that they just stood on the bed, opened the curtains and looked at the fallen coconut tree outside.

It turns out what grandma said was true. All the coconut trees were blown down.

"I wonder when we can get through?" Aunt Wang was worried because her son was a soldier and had to rescue people outside, unlike the others who could hide here.

"I saw that the wind outside seemed to be a little weaker today. Maybe it will be soon."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comforted and supported each other, waiting for the rain to pass and the sky to clear.

On the seventh day after the typhoon entered the country, good news finally came from the radio, reporting that the typhoon had finally left the country.

The family courtyard was suddenly filled with joy.

Shuangshuang had been bored at home for too long. When they saw their mother was going to open the door, they went over and waited. They pushed the door open with their big hands and small hands, and saw that the outside seemed to have changed.

What comes into view is the vegetable garden at home.

"Mom!" Shuangshuang raised her voice, clear and a little coquettish, "The food is gone!"

Not only the vegetables were gone, but the things planted in the fields were almost gone even up to their roots. The loofah and eggplant racks were all over the place, the cucumber vines fell crookedly to the ground, and the green leaves were blown all over the ground, mixing with the rain and soaking the land.

It's a mess.

"Oh my!" Aunt Wang was very worried about the food. It was so sad. "We have to plant it again."

It's not just Jian Lu's yard, other people's yards are like this, and every household needs to tidy up their homes.

More than a week had passed since Cheng Zheng finished his rescue work and returned home. When he stood at the door of his house, he almost didn't recognize himself.

The appearance of my own home has changed a lot.

We knew that a typhoon would cause considerable damage, but to actually see our familiar home turned into this state would surprise anyone.

In the yard, his mother, daughter-in-law and daughter were all squatting on the ground working.

Hearing the footsteps, Shuangshuang, who was working half-heartedly, was the first to turn around.

"dad!"

Having not seen her father for half a month, Shuangshuang quickly stood up and rushed over, grabbing her father's clothes with both hands and hugging him tightly, "Dad, you're back!"

"Hey!" Cheng Zheng looked at the young lady. She seemed to have lost some weight. Her little face was not so chubby anymore. Her long hair had grown a little longer and was braided into two small braids that slightly curled upwards. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her mother's, but her smile was different. When she smiled, she looked more like a little sun, bright and enthusiastic.

Cheng Zheng originally wanted to say that he was dirty, but seeing his daughter covered in mud, he felt no better, so he simply picked her up and said, "Dad, take a look, have you lost weight?"

"No."

"Stone, come back!"

Aunt Wang stood up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son return safely. She walked over and took her son's arm, turning him around to look at him. "Are you okay?"

"No." Cheng Zheng looked tired, but the relief of finally surviving the typhoon was evident on his face.

Jian Lu said nothing, just stared at the man silently, then took Shuangshuang from his arms, "Dad is tired, Shuangshuang, come here first, let Dad take a shower and have a sleep."

"Okay." Shuangshuang didn't know where her father had been, nor did she know why he was so tired, but she knew that the little stubble on his chin meant that he was tired.

Cheng Zheng squeezed his wife's hand and went to boil some water for a bath. The exhaustion was indeed too much for even this tough soldier.

After taking a shower, Cheng Zheng went straight to bed without eating dinner. Everyone at home was considerate enough not to call him.

"Mom, doesn't Dad want to eat?" Shuangshuang is a child who must eat on time no matter what happens. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are very important to her.

"Dad, go to sleep first. There will be food at home when he wakes up."

"Oh." Shuangshuang asked after taking a bite of food, "Should I eat less and save some for dad?"

Aunt Wang couldn't help laughing when she heard her granddaughter's words, "How much can you eat? I only left food for your father."

Shuangshuang was not convinced, "Grandma, I ate a lot!"

Cheng Zheng slept for a full twelve hours, and when he woke up it was already past four o'clock the next morning.

The island was quiet after the typhoon, and the air was particularly fresh and moist. The typhoon had left, but the wind on the island had not stopped, and the breeze seemed to be proving that I had been there before.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was still as dark as ink. Cheng Zheng had slept enough and was full of energy. He turned around and saw his wife lying next to him.

Jian Lu leaned her head against Cheng Zheng. Her hair, which had not been cut for a while, grew longer than her butterfly bones. Half of it was pressed behind her head, and the other half was scattered because she was sleeping soundly.

I don’t know if it was because someone finally came back to my side, or because the wind was blowing in through the window gap, bringing in the chill, but Jian Lu became restless in her sleep and leaned towards Cheng Zheng, her warm and soft body resting on his chest, one hand on her waist, her little face pressed against his shoulder near his chest.

The almost inaudible gentle breath fell on the skin, causing shivers.

Cheng Zheng didn't dare move his left side, for fear of waking up his wife. He just stretched out his right hand and gently lifted the hair that covered half of his wife's face.

Under the black hair is a porcelain-white face, smooth and fair. Because of sleeping for a long time, there is a hint of red on the cheeks, and the curly and thick eyelashes are quietly resting on the eyelids.

Outside the window, the morning sun broke through the thick clouds, revealing some light; a breeze blew in through a corner of the open window, lifting the curtains and letting in the first ray of sunlight.

The dim light illuminated the darkness in the room, outlining Jian Lu's peaceful sleeping face.

The rough fingertips gently caressed, Cheng Zheng was not sleepy at all, but for once he did not want to get up. He just stared at his wife, feeling at ease watching her sleep.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, sweeping down a patch of light and shadow. Jian Lu went to bed early last night. After she tidied up her daughter-in-law and asked her mother-in-law to take her to bed, she returned to the room in the dark and lay down directly in the man's arms.

At that time, Cheng Zheng was sleeping soundly. Perhaps he smelled a familiar scent, and he hugged Jian Lu reflexively. He did not wake her up and his movements were very skillful.

Jian Lu lay in the reassuring embrace and soon fell asleep. It was the most peaceful sleep she had in the past half month.

When I opened my eyes again, it was still dark and the curtains had been drawn back, blocking out the light from outside.

Jian Lu raised her head slightly and looked at Cheng Zheng beside her. He seemed to have lost weight after going out. When he came back yesterday, his eyes were full of sadness and fatigue, and there was a circle of stubble on his chin. Jian Lu couldn't help but reach out and poke it.

Some hand-wringing.

Along the chin, Jian Lu gently poked Cheng Zheng's face, then moved up to his tall nose and scraped down along the bridge of his nose.

In an instant, the mischievous hand was grabbed.

Cheng Zheng stared at his wife with his eyes wide open, his eyes were clear without a trace of sleepiness.

"Are you kidding me?" His voice was hoarse, and I didn't know if it was because he was too busy or he had slept for too long.

"You just pretend to be asleep." Jian Lu was happy. She straightened up slightly, faced Cheng Zheng's face, leaned over and bit his chin, leaving a circle of shallow teeth marks.

"Are you born in the year of the dog?" Cheng Zheng curled his lips and reached out to touch his chin. Oh, his wife disliked his stubble again.

"You are the dog!" Jian Lu lay back down again, nestled in the man's neck, took a deep breath, and hummed.

The person finally came back safely, and it was only at this moment that Jian Lu, a military family member, breathed a sigh of relief.

With his big hands covering the slender waist, Cheng Zheng hugged his wife and felt that there was no better moment than this one.

After a long rescue operation, you are exhausted both physically and mentally. When you return home, your family is waiting for you. You take a hot bath and have a long sleep. When you wake up again, your loved one is in your arms.

Cheng Zheng held Jian Lu in his arms, and the two of them fell asleep while talking.

.......

Shuangshuang was surprised to find today that both mom and dad are bedridden!

This is strange. Dad didn't get up early? Mom hasn't gotten up yet?

Looking at the first bright sunshine after the typhoon, they banged on the door and shouted, "If you don't get up, the sun will shine on your butt!"

Aunt Wang was so happy to hear the smart little Shuangshuang urging her son and daughter-in-law to get up that she went downstairs carrying her granddaughter.

"Shuangshuang, be good and don't bother your dad and mom."

They both turned around and looked at the closed bedroom door, pouting their lips. Dad and Mom are both lazy bugs!

The typhoon crisis is over, and after a month of repairs and cleaning, each house has regained its vitality.

Even the vegetable garden was replanted with seedlings.

If you're not careful you'll have to start all over again. Jian Lu sighed deeply. It's not easy!

Political Commissar Wei also came to the house to borrow some loofah seedlings, and sent some peppers to Jian Lu's family, repeatedly saying that they were ordinary peppers and that they could eat them without worry.

"Okay, then we'll plant some too." Jian Lu agreed.

Shuangshuang is very interested in throwing seedlings at this age. He insists on helping his mother and grandmother with the work, and he throws the seedlings with just a wave of his little hands.

"Lulu." Cheng Zheng came back from the army. He said nothing else when he entered the house. He just said with a bad face, "Let's go to Wu's house for dinner the day after tomorrow."

Jian Lu turned around and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Whose birthday is it in their family?"

Cheng Zheng shook his head, "No, Old Wu is retiring from the army and will move out next week."
