Shen Mingzhu was startled at first, then panicked, and then she pushed the man away and ran to a safe distance four or five steps away from the bed.

"What are you doing?!"

Pei Yang was a little confused when he met his wife's fiery eyes.

He just wanted to tease his wife. It was broad daylight and he had just returned home from a long journey. He was very tired. Even if he wanted to do something, he didn't have the energy.

But his daughter-in-law's reaction was beyond his expectations.

The force with which she pushed him away and the way she looked at him at that moment did not seem like she was treating him as a husband, but more like she was treating him as a hooligan and a scoundrel.

Was he frightened? In just a few seconds, Pei Yang had already thought of countless possibilities in his mind, and automatically selected the results that would not make him angry.

The wife must have been frightened by him and that’s why she was so angry.

"I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are. Can I really eat you?"

Meeting the man's teasing eyes, Shen Mingzhu realized that her reaction just now was a bit extreme.

She adjusted her hair uncomfortably, looked at the man and said, "Go next door and stay with Ziheng for a while. I'll change my clothes."

"You change yours, I'll close my eyes and promise to peek."

After saying that, Pei Yang covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a low voice with a hint of childish playfulness, "I'm blindfolded, you change."

Shen Mingzhu made a kicking gesture towards the man, then found her clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

Hearing her footsteps leaving, Pei Yang put his hand down with a look of regret on his face.

After rolling back and forth on the bed for a few times and sniffing the pillow for a while, he slowly got up and walked out of the bedroom.

I didn't pay much attention when I first came back, but now that I look closely, I can see that there have been a lot of changes in the living room. The coffee table cloth, sofa cloth, and fruit plate have all been replaced with new styles, and there are a few more pots of flowers and plants on the balcony.

When Shen Mingzhu changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, she saw Pei Yang standing on the balcony, bending over and observing the oven curiously.

"Did you buy this to warm yourself by the fire?"

"No, it's something to roast."

"It's so big, how much food do you need to roast? Can you eat it all?" Pei Yang teased.

"Don't mind your own business with fairies."

After saying that, Shen Mingzhu turned back to the living room and closed the balcony door.

Fengcheng is much colder than Xicheng Port. The outdoor temperature is several degrees below zero, making people shiver.

Pei Yang smiled and followed her back to the living room, closed the balcony door, and then walked to the wall with the award certificates.

"Ziheng is so capable? He actually won the first prize."

"That's not a big deal. Your son is much more capable than you think."

After hearing this, Pei Yang turned his head and looked at her, "He's not my son, he's our son."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him, silently took out gloves and rags from the utility cabinet, and prepared to clean up.

After being away for more than half a month, the house was covered with a layer of dust.

Pei Yang was not idle either, and took the initiative to clean up the kitchen, which was the most difficult to clean.

The floor was mopped spotlessly, the stove was wiped to a shiny finish, and even the blades of the range hood fan were as clean as new.

Dog men are still somewhat useful.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the newly renovated kitchen and sighed secretly.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Pei Yang washed his hands and asked for her opinion while wiping them with a towel.

Before going out, Shen Mingzhu emptied the refrigerator and turned off the power. Apart from rice and flour, there was not even a leaf in the house.

Considering that it was only the third year of junior high school and it was unknown whether there were any vegetables for sale in the market, Shen Mingzhu asked him to buy whatever he wanted, as long as they were fresh.

"Go back to your room and put on your coat. We'll go out early. If we can't buy any food, we can go to my sister's place and rob some to make do."

Shen Mingzhu was not willing to go out and suffer the cold, "You go by yourself, I'll give you the money."

Pei Yang gently grasped her wrist and said, "I can't find the vegetable market."

Pei Yang smiled, "I'm not lying to you. When I was in school, my mom and sister were responsible for buying groceries and cooking for our family. Later, I joined the army, and when I came back, I joined the ocean-going ship. I was not at home all year round. As far as I can remember, going to the vegetable market was something I did when I was in the third grade of elementary school to help my mom with soy sauce. Now I don't even know which way the door of the vegetable market opens."

“…”

Looking at Shen Mingzhu's back as she walked into the room, Pei Yang smiled like a big bad wolf who tricked Little Red Riding Hood.

How difficult can it be to find a vegetable market? You can ask anyone for directions.

But he just wanted to go out with her, to go shopping with her, and to experience the loving feeling of a husband and wife supporting each other.

Not too much, right?

——

It gets dark early in winter, and every household turns on the lights just after six o'clock.

"What's that smell? Oops, the rice is burnt!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Ma Sufen rushed into the kitchen and saw the rice pot with thick smoke coming out of it. She started scolding Shen Baolan.

"Tell me what's the use of you. You can burn the rice even if you're just standing by the stove! What are you still standing there for? Turn off the fire!"

Shen Baolan curled her lips and reached out to turn off the coal stove.

"If you think my cooking is not good enough, why don't you cook it yourself?"

After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Ma Sufen was so angry that her eyes stabbed at her dozens of times. Then she hurriedly took the rice pot to the sink to rinse it and lower the temperature of the pot to save the rice in it.

Shen Baolan was giving up, but the whole family couldn't go without a meal, so Ma Sufen had to take action.

After preparing a dinner with great haste, as soon as it was placed on the table, Shen Baolan smelled the food and came out of the room, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Ma Sufen's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten shit.

It's not like she hasn't scolded Shen Baolan for being unruly, but Shen Baolan always shut her up with just one sentence, "Your grandson is hungry, do you want to starve him to death?"

Zhou Quanxiong and Zhou Shuhuan, father and son, were not surprised by this and they also went to the table to eat. However, Ma Sufen still had to take care of her grandson and could not eat until he had finished eating. It was a pity that she was so old and had been busy all night and could not even have a hot meal.

However, Shen Baolan was obviously worried tonight. Halfway through the meal, Zhou Shuhuan called her to help scoop soup, and she didn't hear him until he called her several times.

Zhou Shuhuan couldn't help but complain as he took the soup, "What are you thinking about? You're distracted while eating."

Shen Baolan looked at her husband and said quietly, "Pei Yang came back this afternoon."

Zhou Shuhuan was a little stunned.

He went out to play cards in the afternoon and returned home in the evening.

"I'll go to Pei's house later."

He and Pei Yang have been brothers since childhood. He missed Pei Yang a lot after not seeing him for a while.

Shen Baolan immediately responded, "I'll go with you."

"Go to hell, it's dark and the road is slippery. If you fall on my grandson, I won't forgive you!" Ma Sufen started cursing.

Zhou Shuhuan also disagreed with Shen Baolan going out with him.

He was somewhat disgusted with Shen Baolan's current appearance and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his good brother.

In addition, her father-in-law Zhou Quanxiong also opposed it, so Shen Baolan had to put it aside for the time being and planned to go find Shen Mingzhu tomorrow.

She must find out clearly why Pei Yang came back.

It was clear that Pei Yang did not return home in the dream. A month later, at the end of March, Pei Yang had an accident.

Why is it different from the dream?

She had to get to the bottom of this.
