It was not difficult for Lu Nong to find out Pei Jinan's thoughts on Pei Zheng joining the army. In Lu Nong's opinion, Pei Zheng was just being too concerned. According to Pei Jinan's character, if Pei Zheng was determined to join the army, he would not stop him.

Therefore, Lu Nong was not in a hurry. He sat quietly on the fishing platform, waiting for Pei Zheng to find the deer blood before blackmailing him for other things.

Pei Zheng, in order to find the dried deer blood hidden by Grandma Wu, mobilized his brother's magic, because he found that Gu Xiaohuai had become a smart guy and could point out where something was placed in the house with his eyes closed.

Grandma Wu never hid things from Xiaohuai.

"Second brother, I'm going to play a game with you today. I'll name three items, and whoever can find them fastest at home wins, best of three." Pei Zhengzi fooled Gu Xiaohuai.

"Brother, what's wrong with your eyes?" Gu Xiaohuai discovered the new continent and looked at Pei Zheng's panda eyes curiously.

Pei Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This is not important."

"I'm older than you, so to be fair, I'll go look for her behind Xiao Xia's back, how about that?"

Pei Zheng patted Xiao Xiazi behind him. His younger brother has grown up and is old enough to be played with by his older brother. Xiao Xiazi must work hard to grow up.

Gu Xiaohuai tilted his head, "Brother, do you want me to help you find the new cakes made by Grandma Wu?"

Although he guessed wrong what he was looking for, he immediately understood Pei Zheng's purpose in playing the game.

Pei Zheng: “…” I, your brother, am not that greedy!

But did Grandma Wu make new cakes? It seems that he missed a lot of delicious food while he was away from home.

"Just tell me whether you want to play or not?" Pei Zheng started to tease.

Gu Xiaohuai sighed like an adult, thinking his elder brother was so childish, "Is it not okay for me to play?"

Pei Zheng immediately smiled happily, "Here, the first thing, the cakes that Grandma Wu hid, start!"

It’s the same whether you look for one thing or two things. Good things should be kept within the family.

Shen Jiming covered his eyes, it was too painful to watch, the size was reversed.

As soon as Pei Zheng finished speaking, Gu Xiaohuai's two white and tender short legs rushed out immediately.

"Xiaobai, charge."

The little white dog obeyed its owner's command, stuck out its tongue, and rushed out of the house with Gu Xiaohuai.

Pei Zheng looked at Xiao Huai's back and said solemnly, "Grandma Wu is so scheming that she doesn't even hide things at home."

"Who forced you to do this? You have to be on guard day and night, but it's hard to guard against thieves in the house. It's hard to be Grandma Wu." Shen Jiming said coldly.

It's not that Aunt Wu doesn't allow Pei Zheng to have snacks, but Pei Zheng is a heavy sugar and sweets addict. It would be fine for him to eat by himself, but he also has to bring Xiao Huai with him. If the snacks are found by the two brothers during the day, there is no way they will be kept overnight. If they are found at night, they will definitely not see the sunrise.

In order to compete with Pei Zheng in a battle of wits and courage, Mother Wu successively improved the snacks, reduced the sugar content in the snacks, lengthened the interval between making snacks at home, and finally frequently changed the location of the snacks. Only then did she manage to curb the desperate Pei Zheng a little.

Pei Zheng pretended not to understand and patted Xia Zai's butt behind him, "Xia, our family doesn't need so many smart people. Be a good boy and don't be smarter than your big brother when you grow up. Do you think your second brother and brother Jiming are decent?"

Shen Jiming was very annoyed. He was standing here to take advantage of him. "It's boring. I'll go back to my room to read. You can play slowly."

Pei Zheng: "Hey, don't leave, come and take over and comfort Xiao Xia for a while, I have to pee urgently."

"Give Xiaochen to me."

A voice came from the stairs behind the two of them, and Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming turned their heads at the same time.

"dad."

"Uncle Pei."

"Well," Pei Ji'an nodded, "It's time. I'll take her to bed."

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Pei Jinan asked with a frown.

Pei Zheng smiled awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to say that he had scared Lu Nong, so Lu Nong punched him in the back.

"It's okay, I just bumped into the tree by accident."

Since the person involved didn't say anything, Pei Ji'an didn't pursue the matter any further and said calmly, "That was really careless."

Pei Zheng had not forgotten that Pei Jianan had called Xiao Xiazi Xiao Chen just now, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face. Xiao Xiazi's name contained the character "Chen", but because it was added later, her family members were used to calling her Xiao Xia. Only Pei Jianan before he lost his memory called her Xiao Chen...

When he handed Little Xia to Pei Ji'an, he suddenly had a tentative thought, "Dad, do you still remember the locust tree you planted in our garden? The tree was blooming when I came, but it's a pity that I can't pick it for Grandma Wu to make locust flower cakes."

Pei Ji'an looked at Pei Zheng deeply, without telling him whether he remembered or not, and turned around and left with Xiao Xia in his arms.

Pei Zheng's eyes widened. After Pei Jinan went upstairs, he came to his senses and said excitedly, "My dad has recovered his memory!"

"He must have regained his memory!"

Shen Jiming was puzzled. "Since Uncle Pei has recovered his memory, why is he pretending that he hasn't?"

"He's not pretending," Pei Zheng's mouth twitched, "If he was pretending, he wouldn't have revealed any flaws, just like when he lost his memory and no one noticed."

"He just didn't explicitly tell people that he had recovered his memory."

This time it was Shen Jiming's turn to twitch his lips, "Why is that?"

Pei Zheng touched his chin and said, "It's probably related to Lu Nong."

"...Oh no," Pei Zheng froze after realizing it belatedly, "My dad has recovered his memory, so wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to join the army?"

Shen Jiming patted his shoulder and said, "Isn't there Lu Nong?"

Pei Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "Brother, God is helping me."

"I now have two pieces of information, the deer blood and my father's memory recovery. One can control Lu Nong, and the other can control my father. Lu Nong definitely doesn't know that my father has recovered his memory."

Pei Zheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his whole body was shaking. In this family, it is finally my turn, Pei Xiaozheng, to be the king, hahahahahahahahaha.

Shen Jiming looked at him with smugness, shook his head, and said with the words of a prophet, "Be careful, or excessive happiness may turn into sorrow."

Pei Zheng glared at him and said, "Go read your book."

Gu Xiaohuai ran back to the house happily holding a large bag of snacks, "Brother, here you go. Eat less. If you eat too much, Grandma Wu will scold you again."

Pei Zheng: “…”Brother, please give your brother some face.

"The second child is so amazing. I thought Grandma Wu hid the cakes at home and couldn't find anything."

Gu Xiaohuai looked at Pei Zheng with an expression that said "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Pei Zheng ignored Gu Xiaohuai's expression and continued, "It's only the first round. There are two more rounds to go. I won't admit defeat. The next thing is dried deer blood!"

This time, Pei Zheng rushed out to make sure he was fully prepared, "I will definitely find it before you!"

Gu Xiaohuai scratched his head, it was really a headache for him. How about letting the eldest brother win this time?

After Shen Jiming heard Xiao Huai's idea, "Poof—"

"Good brother, if your elder brother knew what you thought, he would definitely be moved to tears." Shen Jiming said sincerely.

Pei Zheng rushed out and didn't see Gu Xiaohuai catching up, so he retreated back: "..." A mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

"Brother, I appreciate your kindness. I don't need you to give in. Be good and play well. We should have a competitive spirit and not let down. Go, go."

Pei Zheng covered his chest and waved weakly. His eyes were not healed yet, but his chest started to hurt again. New injuries were added before the external injuries healed.

"Okay." Gu Xiaohuai couldn't figure out what kind of medicine his elder brother was selling, so he took Xiaobai to look for deer blood.

After a while, Gu Xiaohuai came out of Wu Ma's room with the deer blood, "Look, it's all here."

"Xiao Huai is really amazing, you win, you win," Pei Zheng rubbed his hands, took the deer blood, and laughed, "Come on, go back to the house with me to have some snacks. Don't mention it, Grandma Wu's cooking this time is better than last time."

With the deer blood and Pei Jinan's secret, Pei Xiaozheng made a great family strategic move.

First, the rational use of deer blood as a bargaining chip must completely reverse the unequal diplomatic status between Pei Zheng and Lu Nong, turning them from the disadvantaged side to the advantageous side. Lu Nong must know how powerful Pei Zheng is and will never dare to underestimate him again.

Second, get hold of Pei Jinan's secrets, negotiate with him to exchange benefits, and use the secrets to exchange for Pei Zheng's right to join the army.

After formulating a strategy, Pei Zheng began to negotiate with Lu Nong and Pei Jinan respectively.

First find the Lu Nong, pick the soft persimmons.

"What did you say?" Lu Nong looked at Pei Zheng the same way he looked at Xiyang Jing'er, "You've become something, Pei Xiaozheng. You even dare to threaten me."

Pei Zheng now had the deer blood in his hand, and he was not in a daze. "Well, yes, I did threaten you. I tell you, Lu Xiaonong, from today on, I have risen up and the peasants are singing. This home is no longer your fascist home. The people have stood up!"

Pei Zheng spoke passionately about Jiangshan. Lu Nong sneered and clenched his fists to make a "kakaka" sound. "I think you want a symmetrical eye."

"!" Pei Zheng hurriedly protected his eyes.

Lu Nong looked disdainful and said to his son and Shen Jiming who were watching the excitement, "You want to be the slaves who have risen up and sing?"

Gu Xiaohuai and Shen Jiming moved in unison, shaking their heads.

"I am a fascist, and you are the people. Do you want to overthrow me?"

Gu Xiaohuai and Shen Jiming shook their heads in unison again.

Shen Jiming was a smart guy, and he took the opportunity to say, "We always stand with Comrade Lu Nong. Any attempt to disintegrate our power from within is a shameful act."

Pei Zheng never expected betrayal to come so quickly, like a bolt from the blue. He pointed at Shen Jiming with a trembling finger: "You..."

"Very good," Lu Nong nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, why don't you expose the evil intentions of Comrade Pei Xiaozheng, who stands against family democracy?"

Gu Xiaohuai didn't understand, but Shen Jiming and Pei Zheng did. They rushed out immediately, one wanted to go back to protect the deer blood that he had found with great difficulty, and the other hugged Pei Zheng to prevent him from looking for the deer blood.

"Let me go, Shen Jiming, are you still my brother? If you are a brother, let me go!" Pei Zheng struggled hard.

Shen Jiming took the opportunity to hold Pei Zheng and said to Gu Xiaohuai, "Xiaohuai, go and get the deer blood from your brother's room."

After listening to this, little Huaizi ran up to Pei Zheng’s room on the second floor.

"Xiao Huai, are you going to betray your brother too?" Pei Zheng uttered his final cry.

Gu Xiaohuai: "Brother, Dad once said that mom is the most important person in the family."

Pei Zheng: “…”

Shen Jiming patted Pei Zheng on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to support you. Look at this family. Your father and Grandma Wu will definitely stand on Lu Nong's side."

"Grandma Wu directly decided the quality of our meals. Although your father usually doesn't care about things, we teamed up to bully his wife. When he punishes you and me to run laps, does he need a reason? I have to bow my head under the eaves."

"Who told you not to negotiate somewhere less crowded? You chose the wrong place for this game."

Pei Zheng: “…” Ah!!! If heaven hadn’t given me Pei Xiaozheng, what could I do? What could I do?

On the sofa in the living room, Mother Wu shook her head and watched them perform. Pei Ji'an was holding a newspaper and watching as if no one was around, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
