Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming sneaked back home. Shen Jiming followed Pei Zheng and asked speechlessly, "You are going back to your own home. Do you have to act like a thief?"
Pei Zheng quickly covered Shen Jiming's mouth, "Hey, hey, hey, keep your voice down. The old man is at home. I haven't been home for three days. Do you think the old man will punish me by breaking my legs?"
With his mouth covered by his hand, Shen Jiming had no choice but to nod, indicating that he would speak quietly. Only then did Pei Zheng put his hand down.
The two of them tiptoed into the yard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming found Lu Nong holding Xiao Huai playing on the swing, and Pei Jinan was standing not too far away.
Pei Zheng hurriedly braked and stopped, turned around and tried to leave, but he was still a step too late. Pei Ji'an glanced in that direction and said calmly, "If I were you, I wouldn't take advantage of you."
Pei Zheng: “…” Not now.
"Dad," Pei Zheng smiled flatteringly and began to explain where he had been for the past three days. "We didn't run around these two days, really. If you don't believe me, ask Shen Jiming. We went to the military camp to train with the soldiers. Captain Wang and the soldiers in the company can testify for me."
"You should know this too, right?" Pei Zheng cautiously tested Pei Jianan, wanting to know whether it was his biological father who kicked him out of the company.
Gu Xiaohuai saw his brother coming back, jumped off Lu Nong's legs, and ran towards Pei Zheng, "Brother, you're back?"
Pei Zheng picked up Gu Xiaohuai and heard Gu Xiaohuai ask, "Brother, is it fun to be a soldier? What is the army like?"
Pei Zheng: “…”
Even Xiao Huai knew that he had joined the army, so was it really the old man who kicked him out of the army?
But didn't the old man lose his memory? No way, even though the old man lost his memory, he still didn't forget to stop him from joining the army.
Lu Nong, who was on the swing, looked at the three people who suddenly spoke and was immediately surprised. When did they appear?
Hearing Pei Zheng testing Pei Ji'an, he couldn't help but look at him strangely. The whole family knew that Pei Zheng went to the barracks, so how could Pei Ji'an not know? But why did this kid suddenly come back?
"Second brother, being a soldier is a very serious matter. You will understand the true qualities of a man to defend his country when you grow up. Let's go home and have dinner. Let's go back and see what good things Grandma Wu has done."
As Pei Zheng spoke, he walked into the house holding Xiao Huai tightly, not daring to let go. Xiao Huai was now his life-saving talisman. Without Xiao Huai, he would not be able to enter this door today.
Sure enough, Pei Ji'an just looked at him with a serious look, then let him go without saying anything else.
Shen Jiming, who was walking last, greeted Pei Ji'an and Lu Nong in turn, then followed Pei Zheng into the house.
Only Lu Nong and Pei Jinan were left in the garden.
The fragmented sunlight sprinkled on Lu's jade-white profile and neck like gold foil. There was laziness and tide in her eyes and eyebrows. The dark hair draped over her shoulders was extremely thick, and glowed with a deep blue light under the light.
Clusters of low plants that looked like powdery mist grew under the swing. Lu Nong had already kicked off his shoe and stepped on the grass. His white foot was pressed into the grass, barely visible.
There were gorgeous roses blooming all around. A breeze blew by, and the fragrance of the flowers danced with the petals. A petal fell on Lu Nong's slightly swollen lips, which made people imagine a lot.
Snowy skin and red lips.
She was like a light dream in the sunshine, and no one wanted to disturb her.
Pei Ji'an finally walked to the swing, half squatted down, looked up at Lu Nong, and Lu Nong also looked up at him. The two looked at each other without saying a word.
This means that Lu Nong's evasive action today has officially been declared... a failure.
After a few seconds, Pei Ji'an picked up the shoes that Lu Nong kicked aside and wanted to put them on her. Lu Nong was rebellious and struggled to break free from Pei Ji'an's hand with her feet. Then she kicked off the shoe on her other foot and looked at Pei Ji'an provocatively.
Pei Jinan frowned in disapproval, "It will make you feel cold."
"I don't care." Lu Nong swung her little feet, enjoying the caress of the wind in the air, feeling free.
Pei Ji'an was helpless, as if he had raised a daughter, so he had to pick up her other shoe and place it neatly on the ground.
Lu Nong had another idea. She waved mysteriously at Pei Ji'an and said, "Carry me on your back. I'll take you somewhere."
Since the evasion operation had failed, Lu Nong simply gave up and ordered Pei Ji'an around with a clear conscience.
Lu Nong lay on Pei Ji'an's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I will only take you to my secret garden, you can't tell anyone else."
The four words "secret garden" have been running through the entire process of Lu Nong's garden construction. It turns out that the yard full of flowers is not the secret garden that Lu Nong ultimately refers to.
Pei Jinan carried Lu Nong on his back and walked towards the back garden in the direction Lu Nong pointed.
When they reached a blind spot filled with climbing plants, Lu Nong asked Pei Jinan to push aside the plants outside. An independent space appeared before their eyes, and there was a different world inside.
Here is a small rectangular corridor separated by bamboo. The visual illusion of human beings and the shade of plants are used to separate the space and leave a small space.
There are potted roses on both sides of the corridor. About two or three meters inside, there is a square space with a small square table made from old furniture in the middle.
There was a carpet on the floor, with small boxes in the four corners filled with pesticides such as sulfur. There were futon cushions and oddly shaped pillows scattered on the carpet, and a sketchbook and tools such as paintbrushes on the table.
Pei Ji'an flipped through the album. The content inside was not just a simple album, but a planting record, which recorded the growth time, flowering season, color, smell, etc. of various flowers in the garden, in addition to flowers, there were also plants.
After turning a few pages, Pei Jian discovered that even the swing in the garden had a separate page introducing it.
Sometimes Pei Jinan admired Lu Nong's wild and imaginative thoughts, his freedom without restraints. He hoped that he could protect Lu Nong's innocence forever until death came.
"It's my notebook." Lu Nong slid down from Pei Jin'an's back, stepped barefoot onto the carpet, and walked to the mat and sat down.
Lu Nong took out his paintbrush and notebook seriously, and beckoned to Pei Ji'an, "Come and sit down. You will have to pay a little price to know my secret garden. You have to be my model and draw a portrait for me."
Pei Jinan raised his eyebrows and was pushed down by Lu Nong to sit opposite him. He only knew that Lu Nong was very good at Chinese painting, and it turned out that he could also draw pencil portraits with ease.
"Don't move. I'm going to start drawing." Lu Nong picked up the pencil and pointed it at Pei Jian'an's face, then lowered his head and started drawing.
During this process, Pei Jinan's eyes were always fixed on Lu Nong, without blinking.
After only ten minutes of painting, Lu Nong stopped and said contentedly, "Okay, I have written down all the characteristics. When I draw from a photo tomorrow, I will be able to get the young Pei Ji'an."
Ever since Lu Nong saw Pei Jian's photo that day, he has been coveting the young Pei Jian'an. Since he can't get the person, it would be nice to draw a portrait of him himself.
Pei Ji’an: “…”
Lu Nongsi didn't care that Pei Ji'an was right in front of her, and she wrote and sang a new song, with the primary goal of angering Pei Ji'an to death:
"… Pei Jinan after he lost his memory is not as good as Pei Jinan before he lost his memory, and Pei Jinan before he lost his memory is not as good as Pei Jinan when he was young. Lu Nongnong Nongnong will always love young handsome guys la la la."
Pei Jinan, who had lost his memory, looked increasingly dangerous. Seeing this, the fearless Lu Nong added, "…Pei Jinan, who had lost his memory, was angry out of shame!"
Pei Ji’an: “…”
Pei Jian and Pei Zheng had a common language regarding Lu Nongqi's decision not to spare someone's life.
"How is Pei Jinan before he lost his memory better than Pei Jinan after he lost his memory?" Pei Jinan's expression changed and he suddenly asked Lu Nong.
Lu Nong instantly perked up after hearing this, and began to recount the grievances he suffered when he met Pei Ji'an on the first day at the hospital, "You forgot about me! You didn't even look at me when we met again after losing your memory. Pei Ji'an would never treat me like this before he lost his memory."
Pei Ji'an: That's because when he looks at Lu Nong his heart starts beating uncontrollably, so he has to force himself to look away.
"When I left the ward in anger, you didn't even stop me. Pei Ji'an before he lost his memory would definitely hug me."
Pei Ji'an: He chased after Lu Nong as soon as she left. Moreover, he would not have hugged Lu Nong if he hadn't lost his memory.
"Before he lost his memory, Pei Ji'an listened to me very much and would not bully me. As soon as I told him to stop, he would never bully me again." Lu Nong said this last point with extra emphasis, trying to hint at Pei Ji'an.
Pei Jinan: Well, it is certain that this is Lu Nong’s own imagination.
"So many accusations," Pei Jinan stretched out his thumb and gently wiped away the dirt that accidentally stained Lu Nong's face, "Then you must have liked the old Pei Jinan very much. It's hard to deal with."
"Yeah, so why don't you try to recover your memory?"
Lu Nong didn't think much about Pei Jian's question and was still immersed in his own complaints.
Pei Jinan showed a smile after his success. In fact, losing his memory may not be a bad thing. At least in front of him who had lost his memory, Lu Nong was particularly honest.
Lu Nong did not notice his smile, but became more and more immersed in the idea of how to help Pei Jinan recover his memory. Although after the initial adjustment and a few days, Pei Jinan, who had lost his memory, was almost the same as before, Lu Nong still wanted Pei Jinan to remember the past.
After all, these were things they had experienced together, and only with those memories did Pei Jian feel complete, and only then was he her true lover.
And... Pei Jian, who thought it was her first time, was really scary. Being unable to get out of bed for three days was already outrageous if she experienced it once in her life, but she actually experienced it twice.
It's simply that the outrageous mother opened the door for outrageous things, and it's outrageous to the extreme.
Thinking of this, Lu Nong shuddered.
My godmother also said that she wanted to stew deer blood for Pei Jinan to drink. No, she absolutely could not let her do that. She would go back and hide all the deer blood.
When Lu Nong came to her senses, she found that she had sat in Pei Jinan's arms without knowing when. Pei Jinan was half-circling her and looking down at his notebook, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Lu Nong: “…”
Lu Nong frowned, wondering how she had unconsciously run into Pei Ji'an's arms. Could it be that she was just saying one thing but doing another?
Pei Ji paused when he turned to a certain page in the notebook. There was a picture of an acacia tree on it. Lu Nong planted red beans in the garden and signed his name at the foot of the page: Red Beans.
On every previous page, Lu Nong's signature at the footer was always "Nong", but only on this page was he signed "Hongdou".
Lu Nong was held in Pei Ji's arms, so she naturally saw this page. She pretended nothing happened and turned her head away, then picked up the sponge pillow on the ground and played with it casually.
"So your nickname is Hongdou." Pei Jinan said with a chuckle.
"The exquisite dice and red beans, I miss you deeply, red beans, knowing each other, it seems that we are destined to be together, we are meant to be husband and wife for life."
"Stop talking." Lu Nong turned around and covered Pei Jin'an's mouth with his hands. Although this was what happened and it was such a coincidence, but after Pei Jin'an exposed it, Lu Nong still had to dig his toes into the ground.
Lu Nong thought of another bad thing. Pei Jinan after losing his memory was more aggressive than Pei Jinan before he lost his memory, and Lu Nong couldn't resist.
Pei Jinan took Lu Nong's hand, and Lu Nong immediately covered it with his other hand, but was taken down by Pei Jinan again. Due to lack of physical strength, Lu Nong got annoyed and decided to fall into the tiger's mouth and blocked Pei Jinan's mouth with his own.
Pei Jinan fulfilled her wish. He placed Lu Nong's hand on his vagina and held it there, deepening the kiss and guiding her to concentrate on satisfying him.
"Nong Nong? Aunt? Time to eat..." Mother Wu's voice came from outside the secret room. After calling a few times, Mother Wu asked curiously, "It's strange. How come she disappeared? She was in the yard just now, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did she go out?"
Lu Nong was being held on Pei Jin'an's lap at the moment. When she heard Mother Wu's voice, her whole body tensed up in fear and she dared not move, for fear that she would make some strange noise and attract Mother Wu.
...If I remember correctly, she did make a strange noise just now.
After Mother Wu left, Lu Nong relaxed, pushed Pei Jinan away, and ran out of the secret room.
Just as Wu's mother closed the door, the door behind her was pushed open again. She turned around in shock and said, "Hey, where did you run from? I just called you and your aunt to have dinner. Did you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Lu Nong responded vaguely.
At this moment, Mother Wu looked at Lu Nong suspiciously, "You..."
Lu Nong asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Wu's mother swallowed her words again, "Let's go eat. By the way, where's my aunt?"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
The door opened again and Pei Jinan walked in.
Mother Wu didn't even bother to look at me this time. She said calmly, "Let's eat. The kids wanted to wait for you to come back and eat together, but I didn't let them. I was afraid of disturbing you and making the kids hungry. Do you two have any objections?"
Lu Nong: “…” How dare you have an opinion.
"No objection, no objection. If you and the child are hungry, you should eat first. Don't worry about us." She pretended not to hear what Mrs. Wu said about disturbing her and Pei Jinan.
Pei Ji'an also said: "Nong Nong and I missed the time, there is no need to wait any longer."
Lu Nong was busy changing the subject and was hungry, so he didn't pay attention to the loophole in Pei Ji'an's words. However, the sharp-eyed Wu Ma heard it and she looked at Pei Ji'an meaningfully.
After losing his memory, Pei Jinan never called "Nong Nong", right?
After dinner, Pei Jinan went to the study on the second floor, Mother Wu went back to her room for a nap, and Lu Nong sneaked into the kitchen to look for dried deer blood.
After searching for half a day and finding nothing, Lu Nong was unwilling to give up. He thought, my mother’s skill in hiding things is too amazing, isn’t it?
I can't find the deer blood anywhere. Could it be that the deer blood is not in the kitchen?
At this moment, someone patted Lu Nong on the shoulder from behind, shouted, and then said in a mean voice, "What are you looking for? Do you need help?"
Lu Nong: “…”
She was so frightened that she didn't even have time to scream. She turned around and punched out subconsciously.
Pei Zheng quickly blocked the attack, saying, "It was just a joke. Stop it. I was wrong."
"Are you kidding? Okay, I'm kidding you too, just let me punch you! Otherwise you'll definitely be dead." If the first punch was a subconscious reaction, then the second punch was Lu Nong's urge to beat up the naughty kid.
Pei Zheng felt extremely regretful. Lu Nong was definitely not joking when he said he was dead. If he couldn't let Lu Nong vent his anger today, he would really be dead. Moreover, he still needed Lu Nong's help.
In order to carry out his plan, Pei Zheng gritted his teeth and loosened his hand, allowing Lu Nong's fist to land on his target.
A dark circle forms.
Pei Zheng covered his panda eyes and said, "Are you calm now?"
Lu Nong shook his head. "One dark eye is not good. Would you mind giving me another one?"
Pei Zheng: “…”
"Lu Xiaonong! Don't go too far. Although it was wrong for me to scare you, you hit me back. If you hit me again, it would be pure revenge and should be condemned. Even if an old man supports you, you still have no right to do so!"
Lu Nong was still not satisfied, so he reluctantly waved his hand, "Well, didn't I just discuss this with you? If you don't agree, forget it."
Pei Zheng: “…” Is this human language?
Pei Zheng really wanted to slap himself in the face. He knew that teasing Lu Nong would not end well, but why couldn't he resist?
"Hmm? Lu Xiaonong, what's wrong with your mouth? Did a bug bite you?" Pei Zheng stared at Lu Xiaonong's red lips as if he had discovered a new continent. "You know what, even though it's a little swollen, it still looks pretty good, as if you put on lipstick..."
Lu Nong's head buzzed. It turned out that this was the reason why Wu's mother hesitated. She quickly covered her mouth and changed the subject, "What do you want from me?"
Pei Zheng, a straight man forever, only felt a little sympathy in his heart for Lu Nong's unfortunate mistake of having her lip bitten by a bug, and then he turned his attention to the question raised by Lu Nong.
Pei Zheng: "My service in the army."
"Oh ~ about your military service." Lu Nong put down his hand and became arrogant.
"You want me to help you convince your father?"
Pei Zheng pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, I originally thought that my father would no longer care about my affairs after he lost his memory... I really don't understand what my father is thinking. Please help me test his thoughts and persuade him to agree to let me join the army."
"Okay." After Pei Zheng finished speaking, Lu Nong agreed readily.
So easy to agree? Pei Zheng was stunned, "So easy to agree?"
Lu Nong: "Yes, I agreed."
"No conditions?" Pei Zheng asked tentatively.
Lu Nong: "Oh yes, thank you for reminding me that it's time to put forward conditions."
Pei Zheng slapped his handsome face lightly, bah, my stinky mouth.
"First, help me find the deer blood that your grandmother Wu hid. Remember, you have to find it all, leaving no trace behind. We must not let deer blood soup ever appear again." Lu Nong patted Pei Zheng's shoulder and gave him the task in a serious manner. After that, he walked out of the kitchen, leaving the battlefield to Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng stood there motionless, thinking.
Lu Nong tried every possible means to find deer blood soup, which reminded him of what Grandma Wu said a few days ago about making deer blood soup for the old man to nourish his body... Pei Zheng tried hard to restrain himself from laughing.
Finally I couldn't help it, hahahahahaha, the insidious, cunning and scheming Lu Nong was afraid of a bowl of deer blood soup. Thank you Grandma Wu, thank you deer blood soup.
He decided that after finding the deer blood soup, he must keep it secret. With deer blood in hand, why would he be afraid of a little Lu Nong?
After getting the deer blood, he would no longer have to beg Lu Nongnong to negotiate terms, but Lu Nongnong would have to beg him instead.
As soon as he thought of this scene, Pei Zheng instantly felt refreshed and laughed with his hands on his hips.
"Ouch..." Pei Zheng covered his eyes and complained aggrievedly, "Damn Lu Xiaonong, he was too harsh. My skin must be swollen."
