Chapter 226: Fighting Back Home Late at Night

When Lin Yuru heard this, she also felt that she should find out more about the other party first, so she nodded and said, "That's fine. Then I'll keep it a secret for now and talk about it after I find out."

Xia Shuangshan nodded and said, "I will go to open the introduction letter tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, just go back to Juan'er. I don't know if Teng has cooked for them."

Lin Yuru hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu are grown up now and can help to comfort their younger brothers. There shouldn't be any problem. I won't go back tonight. I can't keep my secrets to myself and I'm afraid I'll reveal them to Juan'er..."

Xia Shuangshan thought about it and felt it was possible, so he didn't say anything else.

Xia Juanjuan saw that it was getting dark and Lin Yuru had not returned yet, so she knew that she should stay at home for the night.

She locked the door.

Dinner was pretty much the same as Lin Yuru had guessed. Xia Juanjuan asked Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei to coax the triplets before Teng came out to cook.

But it was simple. Lin Yuru was not at home, so she took out the meat buns from the space, and simply fried a dish of green pepper and pork, a dish of cold lotus root, and steamed two bowls of egg custard, which was again filled with chopped shrimp and small green vegetables. One bowl was for Xiaowen and the others, and one bowl was for the triplets. There was also a pot of thick rice porridge.

After dinner, they boiled some water and asked Xiaowen and Xiaowu to take a bath. Xiaowen and Xiaowu were much older now, and they were too embarrassed to let Xia Juanjuan take a bath.

Xia Juanjuan didn't make things difficult for them and let the two brothers play around in the bathroom by themselves.

Beibei clamored to take a bath with Xia Juanjuan.

After Xiaowen and Xiaowu finished washing, they played with the rattle and paper airplanes. Then Xia Juanjuan went to wash up with Beibei.

I lit candles at night, felt groggy all over, and went to bed early.

On hot summer nights with clear weather, the whole family would usually move bamboo beds into the yard, or simply spread mats on the floor, and sleep in the yard.

Tonight was no different, the weather was nice and the sky was full of stars. Xia Juanjuan lay down and pointed out the names of the stars to Xiaowen and Xiaowu.

This is the Morning Star, actually called Venus. This is the Big Dipper. The star that the spoon is facing is called the North Pole. If you get lost at night, just look at the stars to identify the direction.

Xia Juanjuan also asked Xiaowen and Xiaowu to recite poems.

Now Xiaowen has been in school for more than a year, and Xiaowu has been in school for more than half a year. They have learned quite a few Chinese characters. They have also simply learned the poems "Goose, Goose" and "Looking up at the Moon". Xiaowen has a good memory and can recite them well. Xiaowu is more playful and active, and is easily distracted, so he recites them haltingly.

Every night, Lin Yuru asked them to recite it to her, so now even Beibei has almost memorized it.

The triplets were also held by Xia Juanjuan on the floor, and they were also shouting loudly.

These three little guys are learning the ropes pretty quickly. In the past two days, they can already call “Mom” very clearly. The next step is to learn to call “Grandpa”, “Grandma” and “Brother and Sister”.

After a while of noise, the children gradually fell silent and fell asleep.

The three twins slept next to Xia Juanjuan like three little gas tanks, their hands clenched into fists, and their profile looked like Crayon Shin-chan, so adorable.

Xia Juanjuan covered them with a thin quilt and let them enjoy the coolness for a while. Then she tiptoed to get up and first carried the triplets into the house to put them on the bed. Then she turned around and carried Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei into the house.

Although it was summer, it was very cold in the second half of the night and the children could not stand it.

You know what, when they first came here, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei were still very small. Now they are almost two years old, and they have grown a lot taller. It is really difficult for her to hold them...

Xia Juanjuan had just finished her work and was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Xia Juanjuan's heart sank. Could it be that those scoundrels in the village knew that Lin Yuru was not at home tonight, so they came here to cause trouble?

Lizhan was away from home all year round, and she no longer dealt with the men in the village. She could not care less about the shameless ones who still wandered around at night.

Xia Juanjuan quickly took out the anti-wolf stun gun and held it in her hand, then picked up a stick from the side and asked, "Who?"

The person outside the door was not afraid and answered, "It's me."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment. Whose voice could it be but Li Zhan's?

"Lizhan? Why are you back now?" Xia Juanjuan came to the door, but still asked again in disbelief.

Li Zhan replied, "Yes. It's me. I finished the mission two days earlier than expected, so I had a free day and took a day off to come back."

Xia Juanjuan opened the door and let him in. She saw that he had an untidy beard and his camouflage uniform was still dirty. It was obvious that he had rushed back without even having time to change his clothes. She couldn't help but feel distressed for him.

"You are such a fool. If you are in a hurry, why don't you come back? Didn't I see you in Beijing a few months ago?"

Before she could finish her words, she was already hugged by Li Zhan. Li Zhan smiled and said, "Didn't I miss you? And those little guys..."

Xia Juanjuan was helpless and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Zhan said obediently: "No."

Xia Juanjuan sighed and said, "I'll go boil some water, and you go take a shower. I'll make you a bowl of noodles, and you can eat it after it's cooled down."

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Let's cook the noodles first. I'm really hungry. I'll wash them after we finish eating."

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and decided that was a good idea, so she went to the kitchen to prepare it.

I rolled out the noodles, added a handful of beans, cut a small piece of bacon and fried it, and fried two poached eggs. In a short while, a bowl of noodle soup with beans and bacon was ready.

Lizhan slurped up the whole bowl in no time.

Xia Juanjuan had already boiled the water and asked him to go to the bathroom to take a bath.

Li Zhan smiled shabbily and whispered, "Wife, please accompany me."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Li Zhan meant. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She ran away from his sight, bit her lip and said shamefully, "I... I have washed... Ah! You... you put me down! You will wake up the kids later!"

Lizhan carried his wife on his shoulders and had no intention of putting her down.

He is a young man full of vigor and vitality, and he only has the chance to come back a few days a year. It is too much to ask him to endure it.

"It's hot in the summer, take a few more showers to keep cool. Keep your voice down, the kids won't wake you up..."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

So if she wakes them up, she should be blamed?

However, the protest was futile anyway.

The fight lasted until almost dawn. If Xia Juanjuan wasn't so tired and sleepy, she would have kicked him twice.

Lizhan was still very attentive. He covered her with a thin blanket and said with a flattering smile, "Wife, the temperature will drop at night. Don't catch a cold."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”
