"I've been cleaning your room for you, and I've put away all the paintings you drew for Songzi before, in a box. Come on, I'll tell you where they are." Ma Xiuzhi said as she was about to

walk towards Liang Qingqing's room. She quickly grabbed her, a trace of guilt and anxiety flashed in her eyes. She rolled her eyes and said hurriedly, "Don't worry about that, Mom. I haven't eaten much this morning. I'm a little hungry now. Can you give me something to eat?"

This sentence successfully stopped Ma Xiuzhi's steps. She nodded and turned to the kitchen. "Of course, I'll make you a bowl of noodles and a fried egg. You can eat a little first. I'll ask your father to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is any meat for sale. We'll have a good meal later."

"I knew that mom treats me the best, hehe." Liang Qingqing hugged Ma Xiuzhi's arm and followed her forward happily. She subconsciously glanced at the closed door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's dad? Dad is not good to you?" Liang Xueyong snorted coldly, but still followed the mother and daughter obediently.

"Oh, dad is good too, everything is good." Liang Qingqing turned around and hugged Liang Xueyong's arm, one on each side, fair and just, and Liang Xueyong smiled.

Just after they entered the house, the two doors were opened at the same time. The two people who sneaked out met eyes, and then looked away at the same time, pretending to be nothing happened and left.

Everyone returned home at dinner time, and Liang Qingqing took out the gift that had been prepared long ago.

Ma Xiuzhi's was a crimson coat, Liang Xueyong's was a pair of leather shoes, Liang Shuqiang's was a set of books by his favorite author, Wang Xiaomei's was a warm white sweater, Songzi's was a box of colorful watercolor pens, Liang Junqiang's was a military green tank model, and Huang Yali's was a beautiful furry hat.

Everyone was ecstatic and looked at their gifts from left to right, unable to let go.

After dinner, the family sat in the main hall and chatted, and naturally talked about the wedding banquet that was coming soon.

"The banquet will be held in your new home. Your uncle and his family will come to help cook and entertain the guests. You can borrow tables, chairs and benches from the neighbors. That's how everyone comes."

"I'll have your eldest brother write out the guest list, and you can add or delete it. Is anyone from your family coming?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Fan Yanxing curiously. Fan Yanxing rarely mentioned his family, but they were so far away and they didn't have much contact with each other, so it didn't matter whether he mentioned it or not.

But now is different from the past. Both children are getting married. Even if the parents can't be there due to distance issues, they should at least express their support, right?

"My grandparents will come, but as for my parents, they may not be able to spare the time due to their busy work, so it's still uncertain at the moment." Fan Yanxing could naturally see their concerns, so he said everything he could at this moment.

As for what he couldn't say, that was naturally his mother's attitude.

Since Fan Fangming returned to Beijing from Changbei Province last time, there has been no news at all, and no one answered the phone. Fan Yanxing had no idea what Qu Qingying thought about this matter. Did she agree with Fan Fangming's wishes? Or did she stubbornly disagree? No one could guess.

"Oh." Hearing this, Ma Xiuzhi was relieved.

At the same time in Beijing, the door of the Qu family was knocked loudly. The noise was so loud that the neighbors all looked out of their houses. When they saw that it was the daughter of the Qu family, they hurriedly closed the door that was a crack open, fearing that they would touch the mold of this daughter.

"Mom and Dad, open the door, I know you are at home!" Qu Qingying's anger, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally burst out after a long period of no response, and she kicked the door.

This violent behavior was completely different from her clothes, which showed that she was extremely angry.

"If you don't open the door, I will find someone to remove it." She said the harsh words, and seeing that there was still no movement inside, Qu Qingying sneered, turned around and prepared to look for someone, but before she took a few steps outside, she heard the creaking sound of a door opening behind her.

"Hey, Yingzi, when did you come back? Dad was sleeping in the room and heard the knock on the door. He thought he was dreaming." Qu Anming put on a smile, "Why do you look like that? Who made you angry? Dad will beat him up!"

"..." Qu Qingying looked at Qu Anming's performance with a faint expression, without saying a word.

Being stared at by the lady like this, Qu Anming felt a little embarrassed. A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. He secretly slapped his thigh and wanted to cry but had no tears. What evil did he do in his last life? The women in his family are stronger than each other. He is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma. What kind of life is this!

"Dad, did you know about Yanxing a long time ago?" Qu Qingying didn't want to beat around the bush and ask a riddle after wasting a lot of time. She asked directly when she opened her mouth.

Qu Anming always remembered his wife's instructions, and shook his head without hesitation, "What happened to Yanxing? Why don't I know anything?"

Looking at the confused Qu Anming, Qu Qingying almost gritted her teeth, she walked past him and went straight inside, "Dad, you are still pretending to me, Fang Ming told me everything."

"Fang Ming knows?" Qu Anming subconsciously asked back, his voice raised, revealing an incredible feeling.

It was this sentence that completely exposed the pretense just now. Qu Qingying looked at him meaningfully, "Don't you know nothing?"

"Yes, I know nothing." Qu Anming regretted it in his heart, but he still pretended to be stupid.

Qu Qingying knew that she couldn't get any information out of him, so she continued to walk inside until she saw Xiao Jinhua sitting in the yard eating persimmons. When Xiao Jinhua saw her, he almost choked on the persimmon in his mouth. After he slowed down, he glared at Qu Anming.

Didn't I ask you to persuade her to go back?

Before I could persuade her, she barged in on her own. What can I do?

The two exchanged glances, Xiao Jinhua curled his lips in anger, then turned his gaze back to Qu Qingying, and waved at her nonchalantly, "How come you have time to come and see us today? Isn't the bureau busy?"

"I am very busy, but I have something to ask you, so I took a special leave to come here." Qu Qingying sat down on the stone bench next to Xiao Jinhua. At this point, she was not in a hurry, and was even happy to accompany them around in circles, "Where did you buy these persimmons? They look good."

"It's quite sweet. Would you like to taste it?" Xiao Jinhua handed the peeled persimmon to Qu Qingying, who shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat it."

Xiao Jinhua didn't mind and continued to answer her question. "The kid from the Chu family was transferred back to Beijing. He has a good relationship with Yanxing and was thinking about me, an old lady. He came to see me a few days ago. He sent this persimmon."

At this point, Xiao Jinhua's eyes flickered and the corners of her lips curled up. She knew that the military region where Chu Qi worked before was adjacent to the place where Fan Yanxing went to work in the countryside, so she asked indirectly about Fan Yanxing and his girlfriend.

This child was not prudent. After a few questions, he basically told her everything he knew. In his mouth, the girl was the best in the world, with good looks and a good temper. In short, she was good in every way and a rare beauty.

Thinking of the photos sent back by Fan Yanxing, Xiao Jinhua felt that Chu Qi was right.

But although there were photos, there was no phone call back. She couldn't even talk to her future grandson's wife!

"I heard that it was Yanxing who helped transfer him back. You must have contributed a lot, right, mom and dad?" Qu Qingying's mind flashed with Chu Qi's face. The boy was polite and tactful, and she had a good impression of him.

"It's just a matter of making a phone call." Qu Anming waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Qu Qingying twitched her lips. He said it lightly, but he made a phone call and the people below had to run around to get things done.

That's why everyone wants to climb up, because the temptation of power is too great.

But these were all earned by Qu Anming at the risk of his life when he was young, and no one could say a word to refute it.

"I came here today to tell you something." Qu Qingying picked up a persimmon and squeezed it in her hand, leaving marks on the surface with her fingertips. She looked at that place and continued, "Fang Ming went on a business trip to Changbei Province some time ago and met Yan Xing. I heard that he had a date in the countryside."

"Ah?" Xiao Jinhua and Qu Anming looked at each other, and they saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"This is impossible." The child is not so stupid that he can't hide it by all means, so how could he take the initiative to expose himself?

Qu Qingying snorted coldly: "How is it impossible? Fang Ming told me himself, how could it be false?"

"This..." Xiao Jinhua frowned and said tentatively: "The child is still young, it's no big deal to find a partner."

"It's more than just finding a partner, they're getting married!" Qu Qingying couldn't help but get out of control when she said this, "Tell me, what are you trying to do by getting married secretly without telling your elders? Are you ready to fly to the sky now that you're strong enough?" "

Actually, it wasn't really secretive, was it?" Qu Anming coughed and couldn't help but speak for Fan Yanxing.

Hearing this, Qu Qingying glanced at Qu Anming and said with a smile: "Dad, don't take Fan Yanxing's side. We didn't know about this, and you said we didn't do it secretly?"

"Who said we didn't know?" The words came out of his mouth, and the next second his foot was stepped on hard. The pain spread from the back of his foot to his whole body, and Qu Anming's face was wrinkled into a bun.

Xiao Jinhua withdrew his foot in anger, thinking that this old man was getting worse and worse. He was so smart when he was young, and he was able to make plans and talk in the officialdom. Why did he get older and couldn't control his mouth, and said everything.

"So you knew it a long time ago?" Qu Qingying narrowed her eyes and threw the persimmon back into the basket.

Xiao Jinhua looked at the persimmon with heartache, and said: "Be careful, there are only a few persimmons, if you break them, you have to pay me."

Seeing that Xiao Jinhua was still talking about other things, Qu Qingying was so angry that her heart ached, "Mom!"
