The evening before the day off.
After Zhao Lao Niang prepared the meal, she waited for Lei Zhen to come back for dinner, but it was getting dark and no one was seen.
She looked outside the house again and again with some concern, and finally, she just waited outside.
Old Lady Zhao paced back and forth in the yard, looking at the gate from time to time, and kept muttering in her heart whether something had been delayed.
Because, if Lei Zhen couldn't make it back in time, he would usually ask someone to bring a message home in advance, but today there was no movement at all.
It's almost dark...
Inside the room, Si Yueyue finished her homework with her two sons. Seeing the children packing their schoolbags, she raised her wrist to check the time.
It’s almost seven o’clock?
What's going on? She didn't seem to hear anyone telling them to eat.
Was she too focused? So she didn't hear it?
After Lele packed his schoolbag, he held his stomach and looked at his mother: "Mom, why hasn't grandma given us dinner yet? Is Daddy not back yet?"
"Mom doesn't know either. Let's go down and take a look."
"good."
After a while, the children had packed up and Si Yueyue followed her two sons downstairs. She looked around but didn't see Lei Zhen.
Afterwards, he asked his family, "Has Lei Zhen not come back yet?"
Lei Yu looked up at the mother and her two children and nodded, "Not yet, sister-in-law."
"It's so late, he won't be back today, right?" Lei Zhenzhen said after looking outside.
Si Yueyue shook her head. She didn’t think so. Lei Zhen wouldn’t be so unreliable. If he couldn’t go home due to something, he would find a way to tell them.
Is he going on a mission?
That's not right. If he came back late from a mission, he would have informed his family of the approximate time in advance. He didn't tell them this time, so he should have been able to make it back in time.
Si Yueyue looked around but didn't see Old Lady Zhao, so she looked into the kitchen and asked a few people: "Are you in the kitchen?"
Lei Zhenzhen pursed her lips: "It's outside."
Si Yueyue rushed outside after hearing that, and when she saw Old Lady Zhao outside, she said to her.
"Mom, it's so late. Why don't you guys eat first? I'll ride my bike to Lei Zhen's school to ask."
"Maybe something delayed him. I'll be back after I ask."
"What's the matter? If anyone wants to go, let the third brother go. It's not safe for a woman like you to go out at night."
"Okay, I'll go pick up Xiaoyu then."
"Go ahead."
After the thunderstorm came, I pushed the bike out and was about to get on it when I heard some noise outside.
"Hey, are you back?"
Old Lady Zhao walked out while talking. As soon as she finished her words, a loud voice reached the ears of several people.
"Hello, is this Lei Zhen, Comrade Lei's home?"
"Yes, yes, this is Lei Zhen's home, I am his mother, what can I do for you, comrade?"
Then, Mrs. Zhao patted her forehead and said, "Look at me, comrade, go to the room and have a drink of water first."
"No, no, I just came to tell you..."
"Yuan Ming?" When Si Yueyue was about to approach Old Lady Zhao, she looked at the familiar person in front of her and called out.
"sister in law."
