The dried deer blood was finally handed over to Lu Nong by Gu Xiaohuai, a little traitor (named by Pei Zheng), and Pei Zheng suffered a tragic loss.

And because Pei Zheng had greatly offended Lu Nong this time, and Lu Nong's position in the family was of great importance, after a unanimous vote by the family, Pei Zheng was subject to the following family sanctions.

First, increase Pei Xiaozheng's household labor time, including but not limited to mopping the floor, cleaning windows, lighting fires, washing clothes, watering the garden, pruning branches... Second, increase Pei Xiaozheng's physical exercise time; third, cancel all pastry supplies to Pei Xiaozheng; fourth, prohibit Pei Xiaozheng from making noise at home (playing the violin, singing).

Pei Xiaozheng has the right to express his opinion on the above terms and has no right to refuse.

The first two were commonplace for Pei Zheng. At most, one hour of housekeeping became two hours, and a five-kilometer cross-country run became two five-kilometer cross-country runs.

But the last two were the real killer of Pei Zheng. He was not allowed to eat any snacks. Not only were they hidden from him, but Grandma Wu also stopped making snacks for him.

Too cruel.

No noise allowed... This is definitely slandering him!

Pei Zheng was angry. He played the violin and sang as a hobby. How could that be considered making noise?

Lu Xiaonong has gone too far.

Pei Zheng protested and wanted to restore his right to sing and play the violin freely, but he was ruthlessly suppressed and his request for opinion was rejected.

"You guys!" Pei Zheng looked up at the sky in anger, "I will never give up like this!"

Yes, he still holds a big secret, and now that he is in a desperate situation, he has to use this secret!

Besides, he had already offended Lu Nong, so he could only rely on himself for military service.

Pei Zheng's face became resolute. Lu Nong was allergic to his words "never admit defeat". Hearing this, he scratched his ears and said to Pei Zheng sympathetically, "Zheng, remember not to say such words after losing in the future. Saying them means you will lose again next time."

The villain dies because he talks too much, and he will fall if he sets a flag.

Pei Zheng: “!” Angry!

Under Lu Nong's stimulation, Pei Zheng decided to take a risky move and go to negotiate with his biological father Pei Jinan.

Arriving at the door of the study, Pei Zheng rubbed his hands and knocked.

"Come in." A low voice came from the door.

Pei Zheng pushed open the door and poked his head out. Seeing that Pei Jian didn't look up at him, he walked to the opposite side of the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Dad?" Pei Zheng called out.

Pei Jinan put down the documents in his hand, raised his head and looked at Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng understood that his father wanted him to speak up if he had something to say, and get lost if he didn't.

"Well, Dad, have you recovered your memory?" Pei Zheng did not try to test him in a roundabout way. If he tried to play tricks on the old man, he might not be able to win in his next life.

"Yeah." Pei Jinan responded calmly, without a trace of panic in his voice, and was not surprised at all that Pei Zheng saw through his memory recovery.

Pei Zheng coughed and said righteously: "Dad, this is what you are wrong about. Since you have recovered your memory, why did you lie to Lu Nong that you haven't recovered your memory?!"

"Dad, do you know how bad your behavior is?"

Pei Jinan tapped the table with his fingertips and changed his sitting position. "How... evil is it?"

Pei Zheng sensed danger from this rhetorical question and his father's changed sitting posture, and immediately changed his words, "It was a slip of the tongue, it was a slip of the tongue. What I meant was, Dad, it's not good for you to lie to Lu Nong like this, isn't it?"

"Lu Nong has been unable to sleep day and night (?), unable to eat or drink (?) because of your amnesia. How could you treat her like that? I feel sorry for her."

Pei Zheng said this while secretly glancing at Pei Ji'an, and said tentatively: "Maybe... one day I can't help but let it slip, don't blame me."

"Of course!" Without waiting for Pei Ji'an to speak, Pei Zheng said to himself, "I will try my best to control myself and not let myself be unable to control myself..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Pei Jinan asked.

"Dad... let's make a deal?" Pei Zheng's voice sounded a little weak, but he still gritted his teeth and finished speaking in one breath, "If you let me join the army, I will help Yin Meng recover his memory."

After Pei Zheng finished speaking, the whole study was silent for a moment, and Pei Zheng shuddered.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Pei Zheng did not receive the belt from his biological father. He heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he would not be beaten.

However, it was somewhat different from what he expected. Pei Ji'an did not beat him, but he did not agree with him either. Instead, he chuckled, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I know, you can go out."

Pei Zheng frowned in confusion. What did his father mean?

Pei Zheng walked out of the study with a feeling of confusion and hopelessness. He couldn't understand what the old man was thinking, so he had to wait and see.

The next day, the old man was still motionless. Lu Nong was completely normal except that he got up in the afternoon.

Until Xiao Huai's birthday came, Pei Zheng became more and more puzzled. Could it be that the old man was really not afraid that he would tell Lu Nong?

"Hey, what do you think the old man is thinking?" Pei Zheng juggled the ball with one hand and turned to ask Shen Jiming.

Shen Jiming twitched his lips. During these days at Pei's house, he watched with cold eyes as Pei Ji'an and Lu Nong became more and more passionate. Perhaps because he couldn't bear to see others happy, Shen Jiming joked, "Why don't you tell Lu Nong about Uncle Pei's memory recovery?"

Pei Zheng's ball flew out of his hand, and he turned around, pointed at himself and said, "Look at me."

"?" Shen Jiming was puzzled.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Pei Zheng had a look on his face that said, "Are you sick or am I sick?" "Tell Lu Nong, what if my dad peels my skin off?"

After saying this, Pei Zheng seemed to have thought of something. His expression was no longer playful, but rather gloomy. He said word by word, "Shen Jiming, don't think about anything that shouldn't be done."

Shen Jiming paused as he picked up the basketball. After a moment, he stood up as if nothing had happened and exchanged a glance with Pei Zheng. Only the two of them understood the undercurrents in that glance.

Shen Jiming said softly, "I will go to the army with you."

The confrontation came to an abrupt end, and Pei Zheng and his brother pounded Shen Jiming's chest in a friendly gesture, "You want to follow me so much? Okay, don't worry, I won't leave you behind wherever I go, you will always be my dog-headed military advisor..."

"Mom, my brother and Brother Shen are playing ball." Gu Xiaohuai's voice interrupted Pei Zheng's words.

Standing at the door, Lu Nong glanced at the two people in the room with a strange look. After a few seconds, he said in shock, "...Excuse me?"

Pei Zheng: “?”

Shen Jiming: “…”

Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming had just exchanged glances and were very close to each other. Although Pei Zheng's words did not have any special meaning, they were still very ambiguous to outsiders, especially to Lu Nong who had experienced the information explosion in later generations.

Misunderstanding is inevitable.

Unfortunately, Pei Zheng is a pure straight man. Shen Jiming could vaguely sense the impure meaning in Lu Nong's eyes, but it was the 1960s after all, and he only had a vague understanding of the concept of cutting off sleeves, so he missed the best opportunity to explain.

Moreover... Before Lu Nong could speak, Pei Zheng asked Lu Nong anxiously, "What did you see and hear just now?"

He wanted to ask Lu Nong whether he heard his warning to Shen Jiming.

Lu Nong was even more certain of that idea, and put his hand on his mouth to make a zipper gesture, "Don't worry, I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, I will definitely keep it a secret for you."

"Okay," Lu Nong took a deep breath and stated the purpose of coming to Pei Zheng's room, "Today is Xiao Huai's birthday. Your grandma Wu made a big cake. Come down and eat it quickly. Pei Zheng can also have a bite."

Xiao Huai's birthday party was not grand, but every detail was carefully planned. She and Mother Wu prepared it together. It only happens once a year, and she wanted to do her best to give her child a happy birthday and childhood even in this special time.

At Lu Nong's call, everyone in the family gave Xiao Huai a birthday present, and he was very happy.

After Lu Nong finished speaking, he took Xiao Huai downstairs first.

Pei Zheng looked at Shen Jiming in confusion, "What does she mean?"

Shen Jiming finally figured it out, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He was about to say something but stopped. In the end, he condensed his thousands of words into one sentence, "She is worthy of it."

Pei Zheng was left with a question mark on his face.

Lu Nong hurried downstairs, extremely shocked.

Oh my god, the original plot has completely collapsed, the male lead and the male supporting role are going to be together.

If Pei Zheng wants to be with Shen Jiming, he must first pass the test of his family.

Xiao Huai and Xiao Xiazi don't have to worry, she will teach them well. Godmother doesn't have to worry either, at worst she will instill more open-minded ideas in her in the future. The biggest difficulty is actually Pei Ji'an.

I don’t know how Pei Jian’s reaction was after he found out about Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming.

"Alas..." Life is not easy, and I sigh deeply.

Perhaps Lu Nong was too shocked by his eldest son. In the evening, after celebrating Xiao Huai's birthday, Pei Ji'an casually announced at the dinner table that his memory had started to return little by little a few days ago. Lu Nong was stunned for only a few seconds before returning to normal.

She didn't blame Pei Jin'an for hiding the secret from her for several days. Maybe it was because today was Xiao Huai's birthday, or maybe Pei Zheng's love for Shen Jiming had a huge impact on Lu Nong, or maybe in Lu Nong's subconscious, Pei Jin'an was someone who would not be easily seen through, and she was very accepting of this.

Xiao Huaiyi had no idea that Pei Jinan had lost his memory. Mother Wu was calm and composed. Shen Jiming was only surprised for a moment at first, and then he looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

The one who reacted the most was Pei Zheng. Even the little bite of cake he had tasted tasteless.

Things were not going in the direction Pei Zheng had expected. He almost broke down and looked at Wu Ma and Lu Nong in disbelief. Did they already know that their father had recovered his memory? Did the old man tell them a few days ago?

Looking at his father again, a question almost came out of his mouth - "How could you play tricks on me?"

So he had been keeping quiet for the past few days, speculating on the old man's thoughts, thinking that he was weighing the pros and cons, but after waiting for so long, he was the only one in the family who was kept in the dark?

He was still complacent, thinking that he had caught the old man's handle, and went to negotiate with the old man in a heroic and arrogant manner.

Just ask who is the sucker?

It’s him, his surname is Pei and his name is Zheng, also known as the cheater.

Pei Zheng thought he was being fooled, and looked at his father with resentment. He didn't want him to play tricks on his own son like this. But he said to Lu Nong, "...Are you not angry at all?"

Lu Nong: “…” My mind is full of you now. To be honest, your dad is now ranked second.

Pei Zheng shook his goosebumps off, "Don't look at me like that, it scares me."

Lu Nong withdrew his gaze and sighed. Pei Jinan, who was paying close attention to Lu Nong's reaction, saw this and grabbed Lu Nong's hand and held it tightly.

It was so good that Pei Zheng almost broke his teeth. He looked at the normal expressions on the faces of the people around him and swallowed a mouthful of blood. He lost this round.

But he would never give up... Wait, what did Lu Nong say yesterday?

(Lu Nong: Don't make random flags. Villains must keep their mouths shut.)

Pei Zheng: “…”I’ve learned your lesson.

After dinner, the reclusive Pei Zheng wandered back to the bedroom amid the childish chatter of Shen Jiming and Xiao Huai, and Xiao Xia was taken away by Mother Wu.

Pei Zheng returned to the room and fell into a deep emo mood. He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Only Lu Nong and Pei Ji'an were left in the living room. They walked hand in hand into the garden. The night was gentle and neither of them spoke first.

After a while, Lu Nong asked about Pei Zheng, "Pei Zheng wants to join the army, will you stop him?"

Pei Jinan shook his head, "No, I never said I wouldn't let him join the army. I was planning to send him off after Xiao Huai's birthday."

"Then why don't you express your attitude?" Lu Nong asked curiously.

"Just teach him a lesson."

Pei Jinan didn't elaborate, but Lu Nong guessed that Pei Jinan was fed up with Pei Zheng's frequent stupid moves but not expressing his true feelings. Soldiers like to be straightforward and any behavior they like is aboveboard. Even if Pei Jinan took a few more detours, he still admired this kind of people.

Now that I think about it, Pei Zheng never directly expressed his desire to join the army to Pei Jinan. Perhaps if Pei Zheng had just gone to Pei Jinan and told him that he wanted to join the army, Pei Jinan would have agreed.

Pei Zheng was a smart guy, but his intelligence led to his mistakes, and his efforts were in vain.

Lu Nong didn't know that Pei Zheng was so bold as to negotiate with Pei Jinan. If she knew, she would definitely laugh at Pei Zheng for losing his wife and his troops.

Pei Zheng will suffer for having provoked the big devil.

Tsk, but fortunately, Pei Ji'an agreed to let Pei Zheng join the army, and I believe Shen Jiming will go with him. Leaving together may not be a bad thing for both of them.

Lu Nong felt a little relieved from worrying about his eldest son.

(Pei Yuanzhong Zheng: Thank you.)

When they came to a blossoming tree, Pei Jinan stopped, stretched out his hand, and said to Lu Nong, "Miss, can I ask you to dance with me?"

The branches of flowers sway, waves of subtle fragrance waft in, and it is not only the night that is intoxicating.

Lu Nong cooperated with Pei Jinan's performance. She placed her hand on Pei Jinan's hand with dignity, and was held in his arms, dancing to the sound of falling flowers on a spring night.

The moonlight was like water. Pei Jinan looked down at Lu Nong with deep eyes and apologized softly, "Nong Nong, I'm sorry." I shouldn't have forgotten you, even for a moment.

Lu Nong shook his head. "It is your greatest luck that you can come back safely."

All her previous fears and worries had been soothed by Pei Ji'an one by one. Lu Nong even had an inexplicable realization that Pei Ji'an loved her much more deeply than she thought. Even though he had lost his memory, he still loved her subconsciously.

When did she know?

Perhaps she won the first time Pei Jinan carried her on his back in the hospital, so she was so reckless that she lost her temper at Pei Jinan, teasing him and bullying him.

Only those who are loved will be fearless and smart as Lu Nong. Maybe they are blinded by one thing at first, but how can they never understand this truth?

Under the starry sky, the whole garden is full of flowers in full bloom, the flowers fall silently, a man and a woman whisper in each other's ears, dance gracefully, and their hearts finally connect.

(End of full text)

Extra postscript.

That night, when they were passionate and affectionate, when Pei Ji'an hugged her, Lu Nong suddenly came to her senses.

Pei Jinan has been recovering his memory bit by bit since a few days ago, so his actions these days are very suspicious. This black-bellied old pervert not only took advantage of her, but also kept asking for her true love repeatedly!

"Pei, Ji'an...you old pervert!" Lu Nong glared at Pei Ji'an, trying to get away from him.

The next second, Lu Nong was hit hard and had no power to resist.

Pei Ji'an smiled helplessly and whispered in Lu Nong's ear, "Nong Nong, it's a conspiracy."

It was indeed a conspiracy. He sought her sincerity. In other words, he had been cautious, just for her sincerity.

Whenever Lu Nong thought of this, his heart softened.

...Of course, he still had to look angry. For the first time in his life, Pei Jinan was driven by his wife to the study room and slept for three days.

The author has something to say: The main text ends here. The ending of the main text is based on the emotions. The daily life has not ended yet and will be written in the extra chapters, so there are quite a lot of extra chapters. I want to think about what to write first. Should I write about the three siblings first or write about Nong Nong and Lao Pei’s imaginative stories first?
