Jiao Haifang walked quickly to the kitchen, thinking that she hadn't eaten for two meals and how could she endure it all the time? So she quickly cooked some millet porridge, thinking of coaxing her daughter to drink a bowl of it later.

Zhai Yuyuan lay on the bed, listening to the noise outside the yard, thinking about how to escape from home.

She couldn't give up so easily. She had to find a way to convince her family that it would be good for the family if she married Lu Yichen.

When I thought of Lu Yichen, I thought of his two daughters. I thought that I must let the two children live with their mother so that it would not affect her future life.

I have to say that daydreaming is also a disease, and it’s obvious that this girl is seriously ill.

Zhai Yuyuan kept leaning on the door crack and looking out, wanting to find a chance to go out, but her grandfather was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, so there was no chance for her to go out.

Jiao Haifang washed the dishes in the kitchen and poured the freshly cooked porridge into the bowl. Then she heard a colleague at the gate calling her to go together. She answered and was about to serve the porridge to her daughter.

Then I heard the voice of my sister-in-law Li Yuduan: "Sister-in-law, please go. I'm taking a break today. I'll take it to Yuyuan."

Jiao Haifang knew that if she didn't leave now, she would be late, so she took off her apron in a hurry: "Thank you for your help, sister-in-law."

Li Yuduan served the porridge and side dishes and came to Zhai Yuyuan's door: "Yuyuan, open the door. Your mother made porridge for you, and your second aunt brought it to you."

Zhai Yuyuan opened the door and said, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you."

Li Yu walked into the room and put down the porridge and side dishes: "Your mother said you have no appetite, do you want Second Aunt to accompany you to the hospital?"

Zhai Yuyuan shook her head and refused at first, but then she thought she could take the opportunity to go out, so she said, "Second Aunt, aren't you going to work today?"

Li Yuduan nodded: "Take a break today."

Zhai Yuyuan glanced in the direction of the living room and whispered, "Second Aunt, I'll have some porridge first. You can accompany me after I finish packing."

Li Yuduan even reached out and touched Zhai Yuyuan's head: "She doesn't have a fever, is she cold?"

Thinking that she would be leaving soon and she still had some clothes to wash, she said, "You drink the porridge first, I'll wash the clothes in the room, and then we'll go."

After Zhai Yuyuan finished her porridge, she heard the neighbor next door coming to look for her grandfather. She watched him leave through the crack in the door, then she returned the bowl to the kitchen and saw her second aunt was still washing clothes. "Second aunt, I'm going to the clinic and will be back soon."

Li Yuduan didn't know what happened at home yesterday. Thinking that his niece was already so old, he said, "Okay, go ahead and come back early."

Zhai Yuyuan walked out of the hospital and left quickly. She thought about going to the Public Security Bureau to look for Lu Yichen again. If that didn't work, she would find a chance to rely on him. If she didn't seize this opportunity, it would be difficult for her to get out again in the future.

******** And Lu Yichen, the person she wanted to rely on, had just come out of the Ministry of Public Security. He had a smile on his face and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

It turned out that the Ministry of Public Security was going to have an overseas exchange meeting after the Chinese New Year, which would last for three months, and he was on the list.

He specially applied for a half-month leave and went to Boston in advance to celebrate the New Year with his wife and children, and then he would meet up with everyone in Washington on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

He was so happy about the news that he got in the car and took out his cell phone to call his wife, but he put the phone away again, thinking he should wait until the matter was settled and give them a surprise.

Thinking of this, he drove directly back to Gu's house: "Grandpa, you didn't go out today?"

Mr. Gu looked at his grandson and asked, "Why are you back at this time?"

Lu Yichen poured himself a glass of water and said, "Grandpa, the Ministry of Public Security has an opportunity to go abroad for exchange. I was supposed to leave on the sixth day of the first lunar month. I applied for leave. I will go there after my visa comes out in a few days. I will meet up with others in Washington on the sixth day of the first lunar month."

After hearing the news, Mr. Gu also laughed: "It's time to go. You weren't with Qiaoqiao when she gave birth to a child, which is such a big thing. This is a perfect opportunity."

Lu Yichen put down the cup in his hand: "I guess they are also taking care of me."

Grandpa Gu patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Go out and study hard."

Lu Yichen said 'hmm' heavily: "Yes, please don't tell anyone about this for now, I want to give them a surprise."

"They're going to have their holiday soon, right?"

"There's still one week left before it's time for the holiday."

"Are you still going to the army for winter training this year?"

"He should be going. I heard him and Taifeng say the other day that they were going together during the holiday."

"Tae-bong is going to take an exam soon, how's your study going?"

"Shitou gives him homework every week, and he works very hard. This kid has a clear goal, which has always been the National University of Defense Technology. He has never changed. He is really great."

"Well, that kid has the same perseverance as Cong Jun. With Shitou's encouragement, there will be no problem. He will definitely inherit his father's business and be even more outstanding in the future."

The two were chatting when Shitou came back. When Mr. Gu saw Shitou coming back, he smiled and said, "Zhenglei is back."

Ever since Shitou went to college, no one called him by his nickname anymore.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Shitou walked in and saw Lu Yichen was there too: "Grandpa, I'm back. Second brother, how did you find time to come back?"

Now Shitou calls Lu Yixuan the eldest brother and Lu Yichen the second brother. He has long regarded himself as a member of this family.

Lu Yichen looked at him and said, "Knowing that you would come back today, you came back?"

Shitou smiled and sat on the sofa, looking at the old man: "Grandpa, do you believe this? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Lu Yichen picked up a newspaper and said, "Next week, I will take a holiday and go back to my hometown with Taifeng."

Shitou nodded: "Okay, it's only a two-day thing anyway, and I can go to the training camp when I get back."

Then he looked up and asked, "Is my aunt coming back soon?"

Mr. Gu looked at the calendar on the table and said, "It will be soon. I think I can bring back quite a few photos of the children."

Shitou also stared at the calendar: "Yanyan and Yueyue should have grown a lot taller. No, Grandpa, let's call them now. I miss them so much."

Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Are you sure you want to call now? If Taifeng comes back and finds out that you called him when he was not around, do you think he will make a fuss about it?"

Shitou checked the time: "It will be too late when he comes back."

Lu Yichen was quicker than him and picked up the phone directly: "Hello, are you asleep?"

"No?"

"Where are the children?"

"The three little ones are already asleep. Yanyan and Yueyue are nestling in their aunt's arms. I'll call them over."

When Yanyan and Yueyue heard that it was their father calling, they quickly got out of their aunt's arms and ran over. Yanyan was the first to grab the phone: "Dad, my sister and I miss you."

"Dad misses you too. Have you been to kindergarten these days?"

"Yes, but my mom said the kindergarten hasn't closed yet and we can't just work hard for two days."
