Pei Jinan didn't stay angry for long. He calmed down and was just about to fall asleep when Lu Nong rolled into his arms, rubbed and caressed him. She rested her head on Pei Jinan's arm, found a comfortable position, snored peacefully, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Nong was resting her head on Pei Jinan's hand, and Pei Jinan kept it lifted and did not dare to move. Only when he was sure that Lu Nong was really asleep did he slowly lower his arm and hug Lu Nong.

In the middle of the night, little Xia suddenly woke up in the crib and started crying. Lu Nong wanted to sit up in a daze, but when she moved, she found something was wrong. She was not alone anymore. Pei Ji'an had returned.

"Go check on the baby. If she has pooped, change her diaper. Then bring her over. She needs to be fed at night." Lu Nong pushed the person next to him.

Pei Jinan sat up, got off the bed and lit the oil lamp. He touched Xiao Xiazi's diaper and felt a warm touch. Pei Jinan changed Xiao Xiazi's diaper under the oil lamp.

Then she carried the baby to Lu Nong.

Lu Nong fed the cub with her eyes closed the whole time. She patted Little Xia and coaxed her to sleep. Little Xia gradually stopped crying after getting closer to her mother and eating from her grandmother.

Pei Ji'an watched the mother and daughter quietly for a long time under the dim oil lamp. Counting the days, he went to the battlefield just a few months after she gave birth to the child. He fed and took care of the child every day and had to get up to feed the child at night, but he, the father of the child, was not around.

He lay back on the bed and patted little Xiazi gently on behalf of Lu Nong, coaxing the child to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Nong did not see Xiao Xiazi and Pei Jianan in the bedroom. Both the big and the small were gone, so she got up and walked downstairs.

In the living room, Pei Ji was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper, Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming were playing with little Xia, and Gu Xiaohuai was creeping around the crib, trying to watch over the crib like his brothers, but he was not tall enough to reach the crib, and couldn't reach it even on tiptoe.

Pei Zheng had no choice but to pick him up and let him see enough.

The picture of this family is too harmonious. Did something happen while she was sleeping that she didn't know about?

Mother Wu brought breakfast from the kitchen. Seeing that Lu Nong had woken up, she called her, "What are you still doing? Come and have breakfast."

"I'll go wash up first and come back later. Pei Zheng, come here and help me water the flowers." Lu Nong gave Pei Zheng a look.

Pei Zheng understood, but he was having a great time teasing little Xiazai, who was closest to him. If he left at this time, Shen Jiming would definitely use all his skills to surpass him, so he followed Lu Nong out the door reluctantly.

Pei Ji'an put down the newspaper in his hand, watched the two people walk out the door one after another, and frowned slightly.

Lu Nong walked to the bamboo faucet to wash her face and brush her teeth. Pei Zheng came over and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Nong: "What's going on? You guys..."

She couldn't find an adjective to describe it, and she just stared at Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng quickly understood what Lu Nong meant. He pondered for a while, sighed and said, "Maybe my eldest son is too sensible and has sacrificed too much for the family."

Lu Nong: “…”

"Can you be serious?" Lu Nong was angry.

Pei Zheng was innocent. "I'm serious. I guess you didn't have time to tell my dad about our family relationship last night, so I organized a small question-and-answer session early in the morning and explained to my dad the process of our family formation. Is it easy for me?"

"You say, am I contributing to my family? I'm sacrificing my sleep time."

Lu Nong asked curiously, "What was your father's reaction?"

"No reaction," Pei Zheng shrugged, looking at Lu Nong with disdain, "You and him even gave birth to a little Xia cub, but you still don't understand the old man? You remain calm even when the sky is falling. If you want to see the old man's thoughts clearly, wait until next life."

Pei Zheng sighed sadly, and then as if he had thought of something, he rolled his eyes and cleared his throat, raised his head and said proudly, "Ahem, Comrade Lu Nong, you don't know yet, do you? Now the person the old man trusts the most is me, not you. In the future, you should be nicer to me, and I can also say a few good words for you in front of the old man, right?"

Lu Nong: “…” Oh, silly child, if you are not punished for three days, you will start to make trouble again.

Lu Nong pointed behind Pei Zheng: "Ji'an? When did you come?"

Pei Zheng turned around in fear and shouted, "Dad, I was wrong..."

There was nothing behind Pei Zheng, and a gust of wind blew past, making him look particularly desolate.

He turned around, helpless and furious: "Lu Nong! How many times have you played such a childish trick? Why are you still playing it?!"

Lu Nong said leisurely, "The trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works well."

"Comrade Xiao Pei..." Lu Nong said in a drawn-out tone, "I hope you will treat me, your nominal mother, with respect and proper words in the future. Look at your attitude just now."

Pei Zheng had a grim face, half turned sideways, looking at Lu Nong and behind him, fearing that the "wolf is coming" scene would happen. This kind of thing had happened before. He thought the danger was over and continued to provoke Lu Nong, but the wolf really came the second time.

"This is really repaying kindness with enmity. I was talking about family matters early in the morning. I don't know if my dad was annoyed, but my throat was really smoking. I also said a lot of nice things about you, and you treat me like this?"

"Of course," Lu Nong stood on tiptoe and patted Pei Zheng's shoulder. The boy had grown a lot taller this year, and it might be difficult to pat him on the shoulder in a few years. "Good deeds should be praised. Haven't you always wanted a violin of your own? When I was in Beijing, I asked someone to make one for you and Xiao Huai..."

Pei Zheng did a good thing. At least she didn't have to face an awkward atmosphere when she got up. She hated embarrassment all her life.

"Where is it? Give it to me quickly." Pei Zheng was overjoyed. He had been eyeing Lu Nong's violin for a long time, but unfortunately Lu Nong treasured her violin very much and thought his playing was not good, so she would not give it to him easily.

As God knows, Pei Zheng felt extremely aggrieved. He asked his classmates in the music department and learned that in the first year of playing the violin, everyone was just sawing wood, but he could at least play a tune, which was already a natural talent.

Lu Nong looked more serious. "Only at home. Don't tell anyone when you go out. Got it? I was planning to give it to you in a few years."

"No, no," Pei Zheng was a very smart man. Thinking about his father's trip south and the chaos in Beijing when he left, he was not a person without political literacy. "I understand. Don't worry, I promise I won't take it outside."

Lu Nong nodded with satisfaction, worthy of being the male lead.

"Dad?" Pei Zheng raised his eyes and was surprised to see his old father standing at the door. He was shocked and felt both happy and surprised.

What made me happy was that my prediction was finally right. My biological father really did show up out of nowhere and I didn't continue to make trouble with Lu Nong and seek death.

Even though he said that he was the person his father trusted the most, he was still unsure in his heart. Whenever it came to Lu Nong, he couldn't use common sense to speculate.

Not to mention anything else, just say that her biological father had clearly lost his memory, but when she met Lu Nong for the first time, she actually let the cold old man carry her on his back. That was a hospital, with many people around and she would be conspicuous.

What was surprising was that the old man actually showed up... How come every time he provoked Lu Nong, the old man would show up at the right time? Isn't this too outrageous! ?

"Dad, how long have you been here?" Although Pei Zheng was sure that his father didn't hear anything bad, he still asked one more question for safety reasons.

"It wasn't long. Didn't you call me just now?" Pei Jinan said.

"When did I..." Pei Zheng got stuck while talking. When Lu Nong lied to him just now, he seemed to have shouted "Dad, I was wrong" and he shouted towards the house.

"Haha," Pei Zheng smiled awkwardly, then suddenly had an idea, "I called you on behalf of Lu Nong. She has something to talk to you about, so I won't bother you anymore."

Having said that, he walked past Pei Ji'an and quickly slipped back into the house, leaving Pei Ji'an and Lu Nong standing there.

Pei Ji'an walked over and stood quietly under the flower tree.

Lu Nong crossed his arms and said, "Brother, are you here to replace Pei Zheng and help me water the pond?"

"What?" Pei Jinan asked.

Lu Nong: "Xianhua, Pei Zheng has run away. Only you can help me."

"Look, the water pipe is over there. Our yard is big, and there are many flowers in every corner. You have to be careful and don't miss any part. If the flowers don't get enough water and die, I will be sad."

"But don't drink too much. If you drown yourself, I'll still be sad."

If Pei Ji'an still didn't understand at this point that Lu Nong was deliberately torturing him, he would be a fool.

But Pei Ji'an was not angry. Anyone would feel emotional if they just gave birth to a child and their husband didn't remember anything that happened between them.

"Okay." Pei Jinan picked up the water pipe on the ground and watered the flowers strictly according to Lu Nong's requirements.

"There, yes, right there, use a spraying method, don't let it rot at the roots..." Lu Nong sat on a small stool, directing Pei Jinan to water the flowers like a master.

From this perspective, it’s not a bad thing that Pei Jianan lost his memory. At least when Pei Jianan didn’t lose his memory, she wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant and bully him.

Three heads popped out from the door and peeked in. The smallest head was at the bottom, Pei Zheng was in the middle, and Shen Jiming was on top.

Xiao Huai scratched his head, looked up and asked Pei Zheng in the middle: "Brother, why are we peeking?"

Pei Zheng snorted and whispered, "Stupid, of course it's because it would be terrible if you were found out, be careful or your mother will spank you."

Gu Xiaohuai covered his buttocks reflexively when he heard the word spanking, and then responded, "Brother, you are talking nonsense. Mom never spanked me."

Shen Jiming rubbed the little head of the child through Pei Zheng, "Your brother is talking nonsense. Who has the heart to spank Xiao Huai? Xiao Huai is so well behaved."

Gu Xiaohuai nodded seriously, "That's right."

"Brother, are you afraid that dad will spank you?"

Gu Xiaohuai was surprised. Shen Jiming and Pei Zheng looked down at him. Is this guy a spirit?!

"What are you looking at?" At this moment, Shen Jiming looked up, and Mother Wu followed the example of the other three and stuck her head out of the door, overlapping on top of him.

Shen Jiming/Pei Zheng: "..."

"Grandma Wu, scaring others can kill them!" Pei Zheng protested in a low voice.

"Oh, look at your dad being ordered around by Nongnong. No wonder he could only watch secretly." Mother Wu smacked her lips.

Pei Zheng: "...Grandma Wu, aren't you peeking too?"

Mother Wu stopped talking, and finally the four of them all kept silent and focused on peeking.

On the other side, Pei Jinan finally finished watering all the flowers in the garden. Lu Nong originally wanted to find fault with the work, but Pei Jinan did a great job, taking care of every aspect, leaving no room for Lu Nong to show off his skills.

She said regretfully, "Well, you're done."

Pei Ji'an was squatting down to wash his hands. Hearing her unfinished tone, he said while washing, "My boss gave me sick leave."

Does this mean that how long can she continue to torment Pei Jinan?

Lu Nong's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Pei Ji'an say, "It's just right for restoring memory. Don't you want to go back to your memories? Perfect."

Lu Nong: “…” And I just want to be bad.

"Puchi," Pei Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha, look at Lu Nong's expression, things have changed, and it's finally her turn... Hey, Grandma Wu, why did you hit me?"

Mother Wu: "You still know I'm here, you little brat, if you dare to laugh at me, Grandma Wu will beat you."

Pei Zheng has never been more speechless than today. "Aren't you also here to watch my dad's jokes?"

Mother Wu: "Yeah, if you have the guts, you can hit me too?"

Pei Zheng: “…”

"Stop talking, they are coming in, let's retreat quickly." Shen Jiming said cowardly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three heads disappeared instantly, leaving only Gu Xiaohuai's small head. Pei Zheng came back and carried Gu Xiaohuai away.

When Pei Ji'an and Lu Nong returned to the living room, Wu Ma, Pei Zheng, and Shen Jiming were all sitting upright, and even Xiao Huai was sitting upright in his child chair.

There is cat shit.

Lu Nong was suspicious.

Mother Wu: "Come over quickly to eat. We are waiting for you."

Lu Nong finished his meal with a doubtful attitude.

After dinner, Pei Jinan went upstairs to organize his things, and Lu Nong followed him.

Although she and Pei Jian were very close before, they still had blind spots. Just like Lu Nong treasured her own device box very much and was determined not to let Pei Jian see the treasure in her treasure box.

Pei Jinan also has his own private secrets. Lu Nong hopes that Pei Jinan will respect his privacy, so he will not deliberately explore Pei Jinan's secrets.

But now it was Pei Ji'an who took her there, so it didn't count as a violation on her part.

Pei Ji'an's personal belongings were placed in a safe. Lu Nong frowned when he saw the safe. "You have lost your memory. Do you still remember the password?"

The next second, with a "click", the safe door opened.

Lu Nong: “…” Excuse me.

"There is no password." Pei Jinan said in a calm voice.

Lu Nongcai didn't want to continue this topic, and quickly said, "Let's take a look at what's inside." This satisfied my curiosity.

On the top were two piles of letters, each signed by a different person. Lu Nong had sharp eyes and saw several letters from Gu Weiguo.

The middle layer was a document bag. Pei Ji'an opened it and found his personal ID and graduation certificate...

Lu Nong flipped through Pei Jinan's graduation certificate. Pei Jinan was even more handsome when he was young. He beat Pei Zheng and stepped on Shen Jiming. He was indeed the most handsome man in the military region. His reputation was well-deserved.

Unfortunately, she never had the chance to fall in love with the young Pei Jinan and could only fantasize about him from the old photos.

Pei Ji'an picked up a dark yellow paper that was mixed in with the other papers. It must be quite old. The calligraphy on it was delicate and beautiful, with two words written on it: knowing each other.

Lu Nong poked his head over and said, "Remember? Your name is Xiangzhi."

"Knowing each other?" Pei Ji'an nodded. "It does echo a line of poetry. Judging from the handwriting, the one who gave me the name should be a female elder in the family."

Lu Nong recited the poem softly, "The exquisite dice are filled with red beans. Do you know how deep my longing for you is?"

Pei Ji'an was surprised that Lu Nong reacted so quickly, "Have I told you before?"

Lu Nong smiled and said, "I know."

"Know what?" Pei Jinan asked.

Lu Nong stared into Pei Ji'an's eyes and said, "It's nothing. Someone asked me a question and I took a long time to answer it."

Pei Jinan was silent.

"So many military medals," Lu Nong said, and then she turned her head away. Her attention was attracted by the military medals at the bottom of the safe. She began to count like a child: "One, two, three..."

After counting, he put it in his arms and completely ignored Pei Jinan.

Pei Jinan put down the yellow paper and continued to look through the things below.

Suddenly stopped.

It was a photo. In the photo was a young Lu Nong, wearing a nurse's uniform and a big red flower as a commendation on her chest. She was smiling brightly at the camera.

Pei Ji'an turned over the photo and saw his own handwriting at the bottom of the back, which read: * month, 19**, Pei Liu.

Counting the time, Lu Nong was sixteen years old when Pei Jinan left the letter.

He suddenly looked up at Lu Nong. Pei Zheng once said that he and Lu Nong had only been together a year ago and they didn't know each other before that. If that was the case, how could he have a photo of Lu Nong when she was seventeen years old?

Why would a man keep a photo of a woman and write his name on the back?

Lu Nong noticed Pei Ji'an was looking at him, so he touched his face and said in confusion, "Is there something strange on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Pei Ji'an calmly covered the photo and said, "There's a little dust on your face."

"Where?" Lu Nong approached Pei Jinan.
