"Meow~"
"Toffee, play by yourself for a while. I'll play with you after I finish writing these sentences."
"Meow~"
"Toffees~stop making trouble"
"You're not listening again. Didn't you say you only work for a while at noon every day? Why are you still working in the evening?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Qingli looked up suddenly.
He spoke in a casual tone, standing at the door with a smile on his face, his tall and handsome figure against the light of the sunset.
For a moment, Shen Qingli felt as if she had returned to the Victory Brigade and the day when Meng Xiao went back to the small mountain village to pick her up and take her back to Beijing.
She dropped her pen, stood up, ran a few steps, and then threw herself into Meng Xiao's arms.
Meng Xiao protected her belly and didn't dare to hug her too tightly. His heart was filled with joy at this moment.
Hug for a long time
He lifted Shen Qingli's chin and lowered his head to hold her lips for a long time before separating them.
"Wife, I'm back."
"Yeah. I missed you."
Shen Qingli's breathing was a little unstable.
Meng Xiao took her in his arms and sat down on a chair in the living room.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"No, I'll make whatever you want to eat. Go into the space and take a shower. You've been running around for a few days."
Shen Qingli stroked the stubble on his chin. He looked a little more haggard after not seeing him for a few days.
"No hurry, daughter-in-law, I want to hug you."
Meng Xiao looked a little tired, and he rested his head on her shoulder. Shen Qingli stroked his short hair again and again.
This scene was quite heartwarming, if one ignored the rumbling sound of Meng Xiao's stomach.
Shen Qingli felt a little distressed and wanted to laugh, so she gently pushed him:
"Stop being a spoiled brat, let go, I'll go make you something to eat."
Meng Xiao stood up and took her hand to the kitchen, unwilling to let go.
Shen Qingli reached out and turned on the light cord with some helplessness.
Meng Xiao placed her on the small chair in front of the pot before letting go of her hand.
"Wife, help me roll up my sleeves."
Shen Qingli stood up again and gently helped him hold his arm. Her nails accidentally scratched his arm, causing Meng Xiao to shudder...
His eyes couldn't help but become a little deeper.
"Alright. Are you planning to let me light the fire and you cook?"
Shen Qingli raised her head with a slight raise of her eyebrows. When she met Meng Xiao's deep gaze, she blinked and looked away.
Why does this man look like a wolf, as if he wants to tear her apart and eat her?
After being married for so long, she naturally understood.
"Meng Xiaoxiao, no."
She lowered her head and didn't dare look at him in shame.
Meng Xiao took a step closer, and a half-smiling voice sounded above her head:
"No, what? What are you talking about, wife? Why don't I understand?"
"I looked up information that says after six months, try not to... get too close..."
I really admire myself, don’t get too close!!!
What a euphemism.
"Too close? Like this?"
Meng Xiao asked meaningfully in a rude tone. Of course he knew what it meant, and he had no intention of doing that.
Seeing her blushing, he wanted to tease his little girl. He took another step closer, almost touching her.
"Oh! Don't pretend! You know exactly what I mean. People say having twins is even more unacceptable! It's risky!"
Shen Qingli angrily hit him.
The old man is such a dog!
Pack!
Pretend hard!
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What do you want to eat? I'll cook."
Meng Xiao grabbed her little hand, put it to his mouth, kissed it gently, and then let her go.
"Let's have the mutton hot pot noodles. Don't you like noodles? Have some mutton to warm you up."
Shen Qingli took out the ingredients and put them on the chopping board. She wanted to eat, so she cooked the mutton with dried chilies and then cooked the hand-rolled noodles. The mutton was fragrant, and the sticky and spicy hand-rolled noodles looked delicious just thinking about it.
I'm so greedy now.
"Okay." Meng Xiao washed his hands, bent down and started cutting meat and preparing dishes.

Liu Family in Jing City
"Meng Jianye, how dare you play tricks on me?"
A gun was pointed at Meng Jianye's head.
"Brother Liu...Brother Liu, put the gun down first. Let's talk it over. This accidental discharge is no joke..."
Meng Jianye felt like he was sweating all over in such a cold weather and was scared to death.
Liu Su stared at him silently for a long while before slowly moving the muzzle away and gently blowing away the non-existent dust on the muzzle.
The tone was filled with chilling coldness:
"I worked so hard to get your family back to Beijing just to sever your ties with the Meng family? Are you kidding me, Meng Jianye?"
"I... no... Brother Liu, I didn't expect the old man to be really angry with me this time. I really want to be loyal to you."
Meng Jianye smiled and fawned like a lackey, not daring to speak louder, fearing the gun would hit him in the next second.
"Oh? Serve me?
You, Meng Jianye, have lost your status as the youngest of the Meng family. What do you think you are? What kind of person are you?
If I hadn't gotten wind of it, you wouldn't have told me?"
You see, even outsiders understand this principle, but no one in Meng Jianye's family understands it.
Even outsiders know that without the protection of the Meng family, Meng Jianye is nothing!
Seeing that he was angry but dared not speak, Liu Su laughed wildly, as if bullying him was winning the Meng family.
"Meng Jianye, our fathers have been fighting since they were young, and your eldest brother and I have also been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Do you know what you look like now?
Like a...dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy!
Hahahaha, Meng Jianye!
Where is the integrity of your Meng family? Where is your pride? "
He laughed out loud, as if mocking Meng Jianye could give him endless pleasure.
He suddenly approached: "Meng Jianye, you are worthless. I advise you to return to your remote hometown."
Meng Jianye clenched his fists under his cotton-padded jacket, and even when looking at the gun, he didn't dare to say a word.
He had known for a long time that dealing with Liu Su was like courting disaster, but now he had no way out and had broken with his family. He was determined not to let go of the Liu family.
"I heard that the old man's health is getting worse."
Meng Jianye spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
Liu Su lit a cigarette and blew a heavy puff of smoke into his face:
"What do you want to say? Or can you save my old man? The experts say there's nothing we can do. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate!"
"What if I knew there was a miracle drug that could make the old man better?"
