Chapter 177 Rumors

While Huang Xinran, Liang Wei and the other two were busy selling box lunches, Lu Yunchen didn't go home for many days.

He did not return until almost a week later.

However, the holidays began.

After a day's rest, he also helped Huang Xinran prepare the ingredients, take care of the children, and went to sell vegetables.

Of course, after the holiday, we returned to the group and continued to be busy.

Huang Xinran had also asked about the final outcome of the previous case. Lu Yunchen shook his head, "I don't know either. I've been busy with other things these days. But the whereabouts of the criminals who tried to capture Yue'er have been found. I heard that they have been arrested and will be sentenced severely."

In fact, it was not that Lu Yunchen did not want to talk about it, but the mission he was carrying out this time was an extension of the previous mission. It involved transnational secrets and was included in the confidentiality clause, so he deliberately changed the subject.

Huang Xinran was silent, and then turned to Yue'er: "That child is really well behaved. She even sent some gifts to me two days ago, saying she wanted to thank me."

After Yue'er was rescued, it was Huang Xinran who brought her back. Therefore, Jiang Meizi and Yue'er both believed that it was Huang Xinran who rescued her.

Taking advantage of Yue'er and Jiang Meizi's arrival with thank-you gifts, Huang Xinran whispered that it was two warriors under Lu Yunchen who saved Yue'er. The reason why he didn't say it clearly at the time was because he was worried that people would spread gossip...

For girls, reputation is the most important thing.

Jiang Meizi was very grateful and said a lot of words of thanks. Although Huang Xinran refused again and again, she still left the thank-you gift.

When Lu Yunchen came back, Huang Xinran mentioned this matter specifically. Only then did she know that Jiang Meizi had gone to find the two warriors. This made her relax.

Today it was a rare occasion for the family to go out together, and in order to save time, Lu Yunchen rode the Phoenix brand 38-bar motorcycle. Maomao sat on the crossbar, and Huang Xinran sat on the back seat, holding Yaya, and they went straight to the flower plantation.

Because the journey was long, it was almost nine o'clock when they arrived.

Liang Wei had been waiting for them for a long time.

Without bothering with pleasantries, as soon as they arrived, Liang Wei pulled them onto the stage, cut the ribbon with them, and took several color photos with them.

"This is a camera I borrowed specially from someone. When the photos are developed, I will give them to you in person." Liang Wei smiled cheerfully.

Huang Xinran naturally agreed.

However, Lu Yunchen couldn't help but frown, and he hid away from the subsequent social events.

Huang Xinran sent Yaya and Maomao to his side and asked them to take a walk around the neighborhood first, while she and Liang Wei talked with several county leaders who came to the countryside.

The county leaders were relieved to see that the project had been implemented and returned to the county after dinner.

As soon as they left, Huang Xinran didn't want to stay any longer. "Okay, find someone to arrange the follow-up matters. I won't come here anymore. I have things to do at home."

Because the lunch box business was so good before, Huang Xinran was reluctant to let it go after Liang Wei and the other two left. She simply reduced the number of lunch boxes and only sold about 300 a day.

It’s not that she doesn’t sell more, but she only uses a Type 38 truck to carry the lunch boxes back and forth, and this is the most she can carry in one trip.

And this was after she spent an extra 5 yuan to rent a small house from a farmer below the temple to store her stove and beehive coal, etc. Otherwise, it would have been even more difficult for her to do it alone.

Huang Xinran also considered changing to a tricycle, but considering that Yaya and Maomao were about to start school, he gave up in the end.

Yaya and Maomao will be five years old after the Chinese New Year. Huang Xinran is not in a hurry to send them to the first grade. Instead, she plans to let the two children attend preschool for one year and then decide whether to start the first grade next year based on the situation.

The school that the two children attend is a school for children not far from the family compound. If the children walk, it will take about half an hour. After all, the children have slow steps and cannot walk fast.

Because the number of lunch boxes has been reduced, Huang Xinran does not have to go out early in the morning. He prepares the meal in the morning and waits for the children to eat before sending them to school. After returning, he pushes his bicycle to the crossroads at the foot of the temple mountain to sell lunch boxes and returns after selling them.

After she gets home from buying food for the next day, she rushes to pick up her kids from school and prepares dinner...

Yaya and Maomao were very sensible. After a few days of going back and forth, they took the initiative to refuse Huang Xinran's pick-up and drop-off.

"Mom, the older brothers and sisters in the family compound are all studying in the children's school. They will look after us, and we know the way back. Mom, you are too tired, so you don't have to pick us up."

"You kid..."

Huang Xinran was very moved and couldn't help but hug Yaya and kiss her again and again.

"Yaya, tell me the truth. Do you want me to accompany you to school? Do you want me to help you with your homework? And Maomao, are you willing for me to accompany you?"

She had indeed spent all the money she had.

However, Liang Wei just sent a sum of money over two days ago.

This money was exactly the rent for the two shops, which Liang Wei received and passed on to her. Although it was not much, it was definitely enough for them to spend - even without Lu Yunchen's allowance and without her making any money.

But she is still willing to run her own stall. Although it is a little tiring every day, her life is very fulfilling.

Especially since Lu Yunchen is also very busy and is often not seen.

However, she had to consider the feelings of her two children before setting up the stall. If they wanted her company, she would of course be happy to accompany them.

"No, no, no, I don't want to!~"

To Huang Xinran's surprise, Yaya shook her head like a rattle: "Mom, other kids go to school and go home by themselves, so my brother and I can do that too! Sister Yue'er also takes good care of us. Even if she gets home late, Sister Zhu'er will wait for us to go home together."

The Zhu'er she was talking about was Yue'er's second sister.

Yue'er is in the fifth grade, while Zhu'er is in the third grade. Sometimes the older students finish school later, so Zhu'er sometimes accompanies them home.

Maomao also said seriously: "Mom, I will take good care of my sister, go home after school, and won't run around or eat other people's food."

"Okay, Mommy believes you!"

Huang Xinran couldn't help but praise them.

Even so, when she was not busy, she would still wait for the children to finish school. She would also get up in the morning and watch them go out to school. If there were no senior classmates accompanying them, she would secretly follow the children until she saw them enter the school, and then she would feel at ease and go back.

Perhaps it was because Huang Xinran was too busy, leaving home early and returning late every day, and had little interaction with the military wives in the family compound. But even so, she occasionally heard gossip about herself, which immediately ruined her good mood.

Speaking of which, this matter is naturally related to Lu Yunchen.

Lu Yunchen has been tracking down the traitors who smuggled cultural relics and betrayed the country, and was even seriously injured. However, he got promoted because of a blessing in disguise.

This was originally a matter of course, but somehow, someone secretly linked this matter to the opportunity that Lu Yunchen got through the back door of a woman.

The rumors spread more and more, and later on, they were even confirmed to be true, saying that they saw Lu Yunchen and a woman getting very close. They even hugged each other in public and openly went to a guesthouse to book a room...

By the time the rumor reached Huang Xinran's ears, the news had already spread widely.

But before she could take any action, news came from the security office that a woman named "Jiang Yurou" was looking for her.

Jiang Yurou came to see her?

Huang Xinran was very surprised. She didn't expect that after such a long time, the other party would actually show up.

"No!"

Huang Xinran refused directly.

She and the woman surnamed Jiang had nothing to say. She had done so many things to let her down, yet she still had the nerve to come here to look for her? Should we say she was thick-skinned? Or thick?

But Huang Xinran didn't expect that even if she didn't see him, he still wouldn't give up. When she went out to pick up her child from school, she bumped into Jiang Yurou head-on. She was squatting three meters away from the gate, staring at the gate without blinking. It was obvious that she wouldn't give up until she saw Huang He!

Huang Xinran pretended not to see anyone passing by.

But he was stopped by the other party: "Of course, I have something to talk to you about."
