"What are you waiting for?"

Pei Jian took the lead in breaking the awkwardness and asked in a low voice.

The words were obviously directed at Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming. After hearing them, the two of them lowered their heads obediently and went into the room.

After a while, each of them came out in green military uniforms, wearing rubber-soled shoes, carrying a tofu-like marching quilt on their backs with a pair of old cloth shoes stuffed on top of the quilt, a water bottle hanging around their waists, and a wooden stick in their hands.

Judging from his skillful and quick driving, he must have been fined many times in his daily life.

Pei Ji'an: "It's only three and a half kilometers. You don't have to come back for dinner until you finish running."

"Yes!" Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming had determined faces and ran in a line, looking very much like that.

When passing by little Gu Huai, the baby clapped his hands and grabbed his brother's clothes, "Run, run."

Pei Zheng patted Zizi on the head, not too hard or too lightly, "You little heartless boy, I love you in vain."

"Huh?" The cub tilted his head and acted cute online.

Lu Nong: “!” Son, come and stay close to mommy.

Pei Zheng ran away with an envious look on his face, looking back reluctantly from time to time.

Lu Nong felt proud in his heart, and then continued to be intimate with Zi Zi.

Who understands this kind of heavenly life with a baby?

Oh, the bad boy Pei Zheng understands, but now he can't suck it and he has to be punished to run, hahahahaha.

After sucking the cub, Lu Nong thought that Wu's mother had not settled down yet, so he called Pei Ji'an who was about to go upstairs to change clothes, "Pei..."

She just said one word, Lu Nong Ka Ke. Pei Ji'an was much older than her and held a high position of power. It seemed impolite to call him by his full name.

After thinking about it, Lu Nong decided to imitate Wu Ma and call the chief, "Chief."

Pei Ji'an stopped and looked down at Lu Nong. His expression was as dull and ascetic as ever, which was his usual expression when he didn't show any expression.

Lu Nong found that Pei Ji'an was really suitable for standing on a high place and looking down, especially when he was not talking.

The depths are deep and the mountains are high, each one unique and extraordinary.

He is obviously handsome and gentle, but when people see him for the first time, they are always attracted by his aura and ignore his appearance. Some even only remember the feeling of being intimidated at that time. Few people think of his face.

Lu Nong paused, added what he had not finished saying, and said with a slightly worried tone, "Where do you think Mother Wu should live?"

Even you are using it, and the attitude is absolutely respectful.

After all, he needed help from others, so Lu Nong acted very adaptable and flexible, without any of the arrogance he had when he had just humphed at Pei Jinan.

Mother Wu, who was standing nearby, pricked up her ears immediately upon hearing this and stared nervously at Chief Pei's mouth, fearing that she would hear words that meant she was going to be driven away.

Her idea was actually a bit unnecessary. Since Pei Ji'an had already gone to pick her up "on his way", it was impossible for him to kick her out. It could only be said that he was too concerned.

No matter how experienced and knowledgeable Pei Ji'an was, he had never met someone like Lu Nong. The personal qualities that are admired nowadays are all related to "toughness". In life, one should rather break than bend, and in doing things, one should not be afraid of hardships and difficulties but grit one's teeth and persevere.

Women are no exception. Women hold up half the sky.

Most people have the same ideas, but among the many people there are always a few who have different ideas from the majority. They have thoughts in their hearts and calculations in their eyes, but they still pretend to have the same expression as everyone else on their faces.

Pei Jinan saw through people's hearts too clearly, so people like this were completely transparent in his eyes. However, he never pointed out their hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and just treated them as a joke.

But Lu Nong doesn't belong to either category. She is not that pure and has her own little thoughts. But the strange thing is that things that others would find embarrassing and shameful and want to hide are natural to her.

Just like now, with the attitude of being rude at first and respectful later, she herself does not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

She even wrote her thoughts clearly on her face and came right up to him to show him.

It's just like a little cat, testing its owner's mind step by step, and if it wants food, it will spread its belly out to show its owner: I won't pretend anymore, I'm telling you, just feed me quickly.

For a moment, he actually felt a little ridiculous, and once again refreshed his understanding of his newly married young wife.

Pei Ji'an walked down the stairs slowly, stood in front of Lu Nong and Wu's mother, and asked gently: "Okay, where do you think it would be better for Wu's mother to live?"

Pei Jinan seemed much more approachable after going downstairs.

Lu Nong blinked and thought, since you said so, I won’t be polite.

In fact, the previous nanny, Sister Sun, did have a separate small room in this house, but the environment in the small room was not very good. The window was small, the light was not sufficient, the bed was simply made of wooden boards, and the room could only accommodate one person.

Sister Sun usually lives in her own home and only uses this room as a place to store personal belongings, so she has gotten used to it over the years, but Mother Wu can't do that.

Mother Wu was going to move in, and Lu Nong couldn't let her down. Mother Wu was getting older, and sleeping in a place with poor lighting like this would inevitably harm her health over time.

In addition to this small room on the first floor of the Pei family, there is another small room with a similar layout. The two rooms are separated by a wall. This room is given to Xiao Zhou, the security guard and driver. Like Sister Sun, Xiao Zhou does not sleep in the small room at night. He just uses it as a place to rest and put things.

Lu Nong's idea was to connect the two rooms into one room, and then do a little bit of renovation and ventilation so that Mother Wu could move in.

As for Xiao Zhou, Lu Nong said sorry to him in her heart. Hehe, she would ask Aunt Wu to make more delicious food for him when the time comes.

"...Do you think this is okay?" Lu Nong told Pei Ji'an his idea, "Before it's installed, let Mother Wu sleep with me."

Pei Ji listened quietly, then pondered for a moment and said, "Why not just let Mother Wu move to the second floor."

"Second floor?" Lu Nong was puzzled. "But there are no vacant rooms on the second floor."

Pei Ji'an: "You can give up Xiao Huai's room and let Xiao Huai move into Pei Zheng's room."

"Oh, I dare not, I dare not." Mother Wu shook her hands in fear and refused.

Lu Nong held Mother Wu's hand, thought about it carefully, and refused without hesitation, "It's not a good idea to let Xiao Huai and Pei Zheng live together, so forget it. Pei Zheng should want his own personal space."

Adolescents attach great importance to their private space. Lu Nong thought that he was twenty years old and had more say than Pei Ji'an.

Furthermore, deciding to give half of Pei Zheng's house to his younger brother without Pei Zheng's consent would neither respect him nor be conducive to family harmony.

Imagine if it were anyone else, with their stepmother bringing their son and a stranger into their home, the stranger living in a room all to themselves, while they have to share a room with their younger brother. They would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Pei Ji'an shouldn't have mentioned this method from the beginning. After doing the first thing that wronged Pei Zheng, there would be countless more in the future. Human hearts can never stand the test.

I don't want to be a vicious stepmother who is scolded by others. She is so beautiful, of course she should always be beautiful.

But then again, Pei Zheng can't live with Gu Huai, but Mother Wu can live with Gu Huai.

"Mom Wu, how about you and Xiao Huai living together?" Since Pei Ji'an has already agreed to let Mom Wu live on the second floor, he should not object to her arrangement.

"Xiao Huai?" Mother Wu hesitated.

"Yes, live with Xiao Huai and help me take care of him." Lu Nong persuaded.

When she was asked to take care of Xiao Huai, Mother Wu finally nodded and said, "Okay then."

Seeing that the two had discussed it among themselves, Pei Ji'an did not object. He found Xiao Zhou and asked him to buy a ready-made single bed from the Quartermaster Department.

Xiao Zhou was about to go get it done immediately after hearing this. Lu Nong thought that there was no meat at home, so he stopped Xiao Zhou and asked him, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, is the Quartermaster Department far from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

Xiao Zhou said, "It's not far. If you want to go out, I can give you a ride."

Lu Nong was very happy that he could get a ride so he didn't have to walk there himself. He put his baby in Mother Wu's arms, ran upstairs to take out the money and bills he had saved, and then ran downstairs.

Today is a day of prosperity and reunion for the family, so we deserve a good meal.

After going downstairs, Pei Ji'an was still there. Lu Nong took Gu Xiaohuai out of Wu Ma's arms and put him into Pei Ji'an's arms. "Help him out, comfort him, and we'll go buy some food."

After saying this, he took Mother Wu and trotted out of the Little Red Building.

Pei Ji’an: “…”

Gu Xiaohuai: “…”

Staring at each other.

Here, Xiao Zhou first sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then went to the quartermaster department to buy single beds.

Lu Nong and Wu Ma arrived at the right time; the pork stall had just been set up and there were not many people queuing.

She really likes the braised pork made by Wu Ma, as well as the sweet and sour cherry meat, coral cabbage, roasted eggplant, and honey-glazed pear balls...

Everything must be arranged today!

Lu Nong asked Mother Wu to line up in front of the meat stall, gave her money and bills, and asked her to buy ten pounds of pork belly with skin and pork tenderloin, as well as two pig feet and offal.

She wanted to go shopping in the nearby shops.

...Ten minutes later, Lu Nong regretted his decision. He came at an unfortunate time. Today was the day when a batch of popular fabrics arrived. A group of young girls and women were crowding the store, almost squeezing Lu Nong like a sardine.

Finally, she squeezed out of the cloth counter and headed towards the candy section. It wasn't because she missed candy, but mainly because she had candy coupons, which would be wasted if she didn't use them.

In this era, White Rabbit milk candy is hard currency, and a handful of candy might be enough to make a good deal.

Of course, the price is worthy of its reputation. Ten yuan can only buy three kilograms, and you need a sugar ticket.

Lu Nong bought half a pound of White Rabbit milk and three pounds of rock sugar, planning to ask his mother to make him some rock sugar bird's nest tonight.

Hehe, she was sharp enough to see that in addition to the utensils and bowls in Aunt Wu’s rattan box, there were also a bunch of good things underneath, including the best bird’s nests.

Then she went to the agricultural and sideline products section to buy pineapples, honey and sesame oil, and went to the seasoning section to buy peppercorns, aniseed and other cooking ingredients. She bought a lot of small things and spent most of the money she brought with her.

When she returned to the meat stall, Wu's mother had already finished her shopping and was standing beside the stall waiting for her. When she saw Lu Nong coming over, she quickly took the things from her hand and asked, "Why did you buy so much? Don't you have any at home?"

Lu Nong instantly remembered the taste of Sister Sun’s cooking and shuddered.

"You're just a weirdo," Wu's mother said to Lu Nong, then said with a hint of regret, "You're just a coward."

Nowadays, every household is not rich and everyone wants to taste meat. Large intestine is just right. It is not particularly expensive and can satisfy the condition of eating meat. What's more, it is the era when Shandong cuisine dominates the north. Nine-turn large intestine is a famous dish. It cannot be said that every household can make it, but at least people are very accepting of eating large intestine.

"It's okay. You can eat the same next time." Lu Nong comforted Mother Wu.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xiao Zhou drove back and helped the two people carry their things into the car.

After returning home, Mother Wu officially started cooking.

Lu Nong was curious about how Pei Jinan took care of the child. He didn't see Pei Jinan downstairs, so he went upstairs and took a look at Zaizai's nursery, but he was not there.

I ran to the bedroom and took another look, but there was nothing there either.

Finally, he walked to the door of the study and quietly put his ear to the door.

Just as she put her ear on it, the door suddenly opened and Pei Ji'an was standing inside the door looking at her.

Lu Nong: “…” Quite embarrassing.
