Shen Yu snorted coldly: "Xiang Xiaowei, his father is the deputy of Jin Bing's father, Xiang Xiaowei just follows Jin Bing, wears a uniform and looks like a human being, but he has done a lot of bad things in secret, he can't run away."

"Brother Yu, are we acting too quickly? If we beat him up at night for what happened at noon, not only Jin Bing, but others might guess it was us."

"So what if they guessed it? They dared to come to me openly, so they are considered real men."

Thinking of the miserable looks of the three "men" who were forced to dig the ground like pigs, Ding Hao grinned.

After parking at the door of his house, Shen Yu got out and went straight in. Ding Hao packed up his clothes, shoes and socks. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao rushing to meet him. The couple looked at him eagerly, with flattering smiles on their faces. One of them asked, "Are you back?"

One of them said hurriedly, "Shen Yu said you worked overtime tonight and didn't have dinner. Are you hungry? I left you some food and it's still warm. Do you want to eat in the restaurant or should I bring it to you?"

Compared to the couple's enthusiasm, Ding Hao seemed very calm. He just nodded slightly, handed the clothes in his hand to Aunt Gao, and said, "If it gets dirty outside, you have to clean it in time."

"Hey, I'll soak it right away and make sure it's clean." Aunt Gao agreed: "Then Haozi, if you want to eat it..."

Ding Hao turned around: "I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry. I'm going back first."

Uncle Gao said anxiously, "Child, just eat something. Shen Yu specifically asked me to save some food for you. It would be a waste if you don't eat it. Tonight's food... is delicious!"

"Yes, yes, we have fresh fish tonight. It's a big fish that Shen Yu brought back from outside! Taotao prepared the sauce herself and taught me how to make fish balls and fish fillet soup. It's fresh, delicious and nutritious. Would you like to have some, okay?" Aunt Gao was almost begging.

Ding Hao stopped in his tracks. What Brother Yu brought back were good things, and they couldn’t be wasted.

But he knew that the guests were still there, and he didn't want to go into the inner courtyard. Firstly, he didn't want to disturb them, and secondly, under normal circumstances, he should be resting in the dormitory in the unit's family compound, not with Shen Yu, and it would not be good for the people in the inner courtyard to see him.

So Ding Hao followed Uncle Gao into the room where the couple lived. Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao were as happy as if it were a holiday. They wiped the table, arranged the chairs, and circled around Ding Hao like a revolving lantern.

Ding Hao told them: "Don't tell anyone, including the relatives who are in the inner courtyard tonight, that I was here tonight."

The couple nodded repeatedly: "No, no."

They knew that Ding Hao was not only Shen Yu's driver and security guard, but also did other jobs, so of course they had to cooperate and support him.

Aunt Gao excitedly served the food, while Uncle Gao was busy pouring tea. Then he opened the cupboard and took out many small cloth bags and small iron boxes. He opened them one by one, and inside were sugar biscuits, dried fruits, peeled melon seeds, almonds, and peanuts. He kept asking Ding Hao, "Eat it. If you can't finish it, take it home and eat it slowly. They are all from your childhood... They are all delicious!"

Ding Hao had a headache. He was an adult now, and he was the eldest in the family. He had five younger siblings. When they were young, they were lucky to have enough food. How could they dare to dream of snacks? But Uncle Gao held it in front of him with both hands. Under his generosity, Ding Hao had to grab a few grains and chew them slowly. Aunt Gao brought the food from the kitchen in a food box, three dishes, a soup, and a big bowl of rice. Ding Hao was busy staring at Jin Bing and the others outside, and he didn't even have time to drink water, let alone eat. Now he was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and wolfed down all the food.

Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao were sitting nearby, watching with a loving look on their faces. Aunt Gao quietly wiped the tears from her eyes and then smiled. It was the kind of relieved and gratified smile that an old mother would smile when she sees her children are well fed and well fed.

When Ding Hao was about to leave, the couple stuffed some dried fruits and melon seeds into his hands. This time he did not refuse and took them all.

Aunt Gao's eyes turned red when she heard this. She nodded, turned around and went into the house to clean up.

Uncle Gao was in charge of opening and closing the door. He limped as he escorted Ding Hao out. He said nothing much and only reminded him: Be careful on the road and stay safe.

Ding Hao hummed and replied: "You also need to take care of your health. Only when you are healthy can you do your job well."

"Oh, oh, I understand." Uncle Gao hurriedly agreed, and his heart suddenly felt warm because of the words "take care".

Over there, Shen Yu entered the inner courtyard to look for his young wife first. Meng Tao asked him where he had been just now. Shen Yu did not hide it from her. Meng Tao glared at him and said, "I was just looking for an opportunity. My cousin said she would help me. You...you should have taken me there!"

Shen Yu: "Isn't that because I'm worried about my cousin's plan? I'm afraid that you're too strong to beat the pig heroine, and you'll kill her with one punch, so I'll do this little thing."

Meng Tao was delighted when she heard the term "pig-beating heroine". She clenched her fist and punched him twice. She had long forgotten about beating the wild boar, but he still remembered it.

Shen Yu took a shower and went to the living room to apologize to his elders, saying only that he felt a little sleepy after dinner and took a short nap before getting up.

Several elders knew that he had been working very hard recently, and they all told him to get enough rest and not to get too tired.

Cousin Xu was drinking his tea, so of course he knew where Shen Yu was.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening. When other people had turned off the lights and gone to bed, the Shen residence was still very lively. Xu Hengrui, Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting came back from the hospital and reported to their aunt that brother Hengze had eaten up all the fish soup. The aunt was so happy that she praised the three of them.

Xu Liwen also came back from Yan's house. When she learned that a fish head was left for her, she wanted to eat it right away. She asked Aunt Gao to make fish head with chopped pepper in the middle of the night, and asked her uncle Shen Heping to open a bottle of good wine for her. She ate the fish alone in the restaurant, enjoying herself, boldly and freely. Aunt Gao was fascinated by her behavior, so she kept surrounding her, adding side dishes and pouring wine for her, taking care of her like a man.

Grandma Xu and my aunt came over to take a look and were almost worried to death.

Xu Zhen and Sister Lin prepared midnight snacks for everyone, including easily digestible wontons stuffed with pork, and refreshing small fish noodles. Meng Tao liked desserts, so she made rock sugar, white fungus and lotus seed soup, and milk, red bean and taro balls.

After the midnight snack, little Yunhai woke up and was brought out to greet the elders. The little guy was very happy to see so many people at home in the middle of the night. He babbled in baby talk with his tender little baby voice and adorable appearance, which melted everyone's hearts.

It was not until after twelve o'clock that Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Meng took their families back home. They were reluctant to leave because the little kid was still energetic and willing to play with them.

But we can't play like this all the time. The little kid is ignorant, but adults can't be willful. Tonight, because we were talking about something, the party went overtime. It's not usually like this.
