Because they now come to the courtyard for dinner every night, it is inconvenient to bring guards with them, so Pengcheng and Shen Yixing (uncle) both drive themselves.
As they were leaving, Peng Cheng saw his wife getting into the car with a bag that looked quite heavy. Naturally, he wanted to take it and asked casually, "What are you carrying? Is it food?"
Shen Yipei took the man's outstretched hand. Peng Cheng was stunned for a moment. He wanted to help with the things, but he liked it this way.
Shen Yipei put the things at the bottom of her feet and said, "Let's drive back quickly. By the way, what did you say to your eldest brother and second brother in the house before dinner? You were so mysterious. I asked you just now, but you didn't tell me. When did you become so tight-lipped?"
Peng Cheng blushed. How could this be explained? They say that when men get older, they always...?
This is about face! We all have to save face! Can we just say it casually? Didn’t you see that the whole plate of scrambled eggs with chives was eaten up by the three of them at the dinner table just now?
"It's about work. My brother told me about the arrangement of the exercise."
Shen Yipei was puzzled. Could the military exercise be related to his second brother who studied history?
When she was almost home, Shen Yipei saw that lights were on in several buildings near her home. She thought about how Peng Wei only had one day off a month at the military academy, and Peng Zhe usually didn't come home. The two brothers had been back to the compound less often since they went to college. Usually, there were only Peng Cheng and her husband and wife at home, which was quite deserted.
After parking the car, the Liu family next door was arguing again. The two women's quarrel was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire compound. Just now, Shen Yipei felt a little sad that her two sons were not at home, but her mind was instantly gone.
It’s better to be quiet!
Look at this whole family, living together because of the old man’s military achievements. They quarrel all day long.
After opening the door and turning on the light, Shen Yipei sat on the sofa very naturally, waiting to drink water, and complained: "Why is it their house again? Aren't they afraid that people in the compound will laugh at them?"
Peng Cheng came over with a cup of water, took the man in his arms, and said, "Mr. Liu is planning to move into a retirement home with his wife."
"Ah? Is this true?" Shen Yipei was extremely surprised. Old Man Liu and her father moved to this compound at about the same time. After so many years, they are now so old.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with living in a retirement home to take care of your health, but you have to move there and spend your retirement there, so you have to give up the house here.
Peng Cheng nodded. "Only the third son is doing okay in their family, but he works in a government department, not in the same system as us. They've allocated a house to him over there. As for the eldest and second sons, to put it nicely, they voluntarily retired from the army, but everyone knows that during the Vietnam War, they were afraid of going to the battlefield. Even they themselves thought it was a secret! After retiring, they relied on their father's connections to join the logistics department of the armed forces. Over the years, the state's money has made them fat and strong. Look at them, how can they have the temperament of a soldier? Their bellies are as big as a ball, and they go out with their hair combed sleek all day long. How dare they drive at their level? They almost think the logistics department is theirs. I'd say the same thing goes for Old Man Liu. He can't control his sons, and neither can his daughter-in-law. Look at how old Aunt Liu is, and she's still bullied by her two daughters-in-law every day."
Shen Yipei smiled when she heard this and touched Pengcheng's belly. "Hmm!" Although he is fifty years old, he still maintains a very good figure, which has always been to her liking.
"Hey, it's not easy for Mr. Liu either. Didn't he say that before his eldest and second sons, there was a child who couldn't be taken care of because of the war?"
Peng Cheng smiled. His wife was straightforward and couldn't see through many things. He patiently explained, "Old Master Liu is being shrewd. He's leaving a way out for his unworthy son. His departure is to make way for the people below. They're considering his reputation. After all, he's a military hero, and they can't let the old man suffer in his later years. The corruption of his eldest and second sons won't be thoroughly investigated by the higher-ups."
In fact, Pengcheng was also angry. A large part of the supplies for the explosion a week ago came from the Quartermaster Department, and the Liu brothers had been traced back to them. Now that Old Man Liu had caused trouble, for the sake of his later years, the higher-ups had to turn a blind eye and give him a lighter punishment.
Sensing the change in Pengcheng's aura, Shen Yipei patted him and said with a smile: "Why are you getting angrier and angrier? It's the Liu family's business after all, and it has nothing to do with us. If you go any lighter, you won't be able to keep your position."
"Hey, I'm going to take a shower tonight. Go to the kitchen and make me some rose tea. An Ning gave me a box last time, and I've been drinking it lately. My complexion has indeed improved a lot."
"Yes, my dear wife, I'll go right away." Peng Cheng touched his wife's face, which was delicate and rosy despite the fine lines on it, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.
Maybe I felt that my movements were a little...
Shen Yipei looked at the man who was running away in a somewhat embarrassed manner, covering her face and laughing secretly.
Pengcheng is of high rank and lives in a two-story building with two bathrooms. Shen Yipei took out the things her niece gave her and looked at them carefully. It must be said that young people nowadays have a strong ability to accept new things.
After taking a shower, I wiped off the moisture on my body and took out the transparent jar given by Shen An Ning. Thinking of my niece's mysterious look, this should be a good thing!
As soon as she opened it, she smelled a strong scent of jasmine. She was not unfamiliar with body lotion, but this was the first time she had seen something so special. Shen Yipei followed the method her niece taught her and carefully massaged it all over her body.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she said narcissistically: "Oh, Pengcheng is lucky. If I were a man, I would be attracted to myself."
