Chapter 63



Chuxia had already made a big wooden cage for the puppies in advance, and put the two puppies in it.

Now they haven't grown up yet. There are four round wheels on the bottom of the wooden cage, so they can move with a push, and you can also put luggage on it.

Cen Huaian was very interested in this moving cage, and he and Chuxia took the initiative to say that he would pull it.

Heizi and Huangzi were not used to being locked in the cage at first, and they turned around and around in anxiety and kept "humming".

But when Cen Huaian started to pull the cage, they saw the familiar little master, and they stopped turning around and sat in the cage with a "wow wow". The two big dog eyes looked at the back of the little master pulling the cart, and licked their fur from time to time, and they were more comfortable than humans.

Chuxia found the scene hilarious no matter how she looked at it. Cen Huaian turned his head and looked at her in confusion, not understanding what his mother was laughing at.

Chuxia quickly moved her eyes to the side. No, she couldn't laugh anymore. If she laughed again, An An would find out that she was laughing at him.

The two of them also attracted the attention of other people on the road. Fortunately, the distance from the family compound to the bus stop was not far, otherwise they would receive more looks.

The bus slowly drove over. Chuxia and Cen Huaian were about to carry their luggage and dog cages onto the bus, when suddenly a few pairs of small hands appeared beside them, helping them together.

The two immediately looked up, and Chuxia's eyes were filled with surprise: "Bangzi? Cat Gray Hair, why are you here?"

Chuxia was not the most excited one. The happiest one was Cen Huaian. The joy in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"Brother Bang, how did you know we were leaving today?"

Bangzi helped carry the things up, and said with a smile: "Just ask anyone in your family compound and you'll know."

After moving the luggage, Bangzi came over, hugged Cen Huaian, let go, and patted his back. Then Maozai and Huimao came over and hugged Cen Huaian.

Cen Huaian wanted to say something, but nothing came out when he opened his mouth. He just looked at Bangzi and the other two, his eyes showing happiness and reluctance. Bangzi

seemed to know what Cen Huaian was thinking, and waved to him casually and said: "We are all brothers. You are leaving, and we will definitely come to see you off. Don't be too moved."

Cen Huaian: "Thank you, Brother Bang."

Not only thanked him for coming to see him off, but also thanked him for pulling him before, so that he didn't starve to death.

The bus would not stop for long. Cen Huaian and Chuxia stood inside the door. The door was already closed, and he waved to them: "Bangge, Maozai, Huimao, goodbye."

The bus started, and Cen Huaian quickly ran to the last row of seats and looked back through the window.

Bangzi stood there, with his hands in his pockets, still with a casual smile on his face. Maozai and Huimao stood on either side of him, waving at Cen Huaian crazily.

"Little bastard! We will always remember you, don't forget us!"

Cen Huaian also squinted his eyes and looked at the three people, until the bus turned and Bangzi and the others could no longer be seen, he slowly turned his head and leaned on Chuxia. Chuxia

patted his back gently without saying a word. She understood how he felt at the moment, and it was best to let him digest it quietly.

When they arrived at the train station, Cen Huaian's mood returned to normal, and he walked in the station holding the dog cage.

Almost everyone in the station looked at him, but he seemed to have no feelings, and asked Chu Xia: "Mom, will it be okay to check in the puppy?"

Chu Xia didn't care about the eyes around her, and took his hand and said: "No, the station staff will take good care of them."

In fact, Chu Xia was also worried, but she felt that since the train station had the business of checking in living things, and it was not new, the process should be very skilled.

Having said that, when Chu Xia took the check-in ticket to check in the puppy, she still asked the staff worriedly whether the puppy would feel uncomfortable during the check-in, and whether there was anything she needed to pay attention to.

The staff had obviously heard this kind of question many times. When checking the ticket she handed over, he said without looking up: "Don't worry, we have special people in charge of check-in, and everything will be fine. Just prepare food and water in the cage. By the way, don't feed the dog a few hours before boarding the train, as it will easily get carsick."

Chu Xia and Cen Huaian were even more worried when they heard that the puppy would get carsick.

The train runs for a long time at this time, and the puppy will definitely not be able to adapt to the closed environment for a long time, but there is nothing to do now.

Cen Huaian squatted on the ground, touched the heads of the two puppies, and whispered to them. Chu Xia vaguely heard the words "Don't be afraid".

Before checking in, the two stayed with the puppies and comforted them. When they were about to get on the bus, they put food and water in the wooden dog cage. There were also bones for them to grind their teeth and small balls they loved to play with.

The two watched the staff lift the puppies up. Huangzi and Heizi, who were lying down, immediately stood up and barked anxiously, barking at the staff for a while, and then turned to Chuxia and Anan.

They thought their owner didn't want them anymore, and they banged against the cage desperately.

Cen Huaian quickly waved at the two puppies and shouted: "Heizi, Huangzi, don't be afraid, mom and I will pick you up soon!"

The puppies didn't know whether they understood what he said or his voice soothed them, and they no longer banged against the cage anxiously, but they also lay in the cage sullenly, looking in the direction of Chuxia and Anan with a look of nostalgia.

The look in the two puppies' eyes made Chu Xia want to go over and take them out, and Cen Huaian felt very uncomfortable seeing that.

However, the two of them also had to get on the train, so Chu Xia took him to the place where they would get on the train.

At this time, there were a lot of people, all trying to get on the train. The attendant shouted at the door not to squeeze, and the police were also trying to maintain order, but it was useless. There were still many people desperately squeezing into the train, fearing that they would not be able to get on the train.

The door of the sleeper compartment that Chu Xia and An An went to was not crowded, but when they finally got on the train with their luggage, they were also sweating from exhaustion.

The environment of the green-skinned train is not very good, and the ride time is also long. The sleeper compartment is better than the hard seat, but it is also makeshift for sleeping at night.

During the day, Chuxia and An'an stayed in the upper bunk to read, play Go and rest. Except for eating and going to the restroom, the two would not leave the bunk.

The train passed many stations, both big and small. Some stations stopped for a long time, so some passengers would get off to smoke, buy something, and stretch their legs.

But Chuxia never got off. She brought food with her, and if she wanted to eat, there were people selling food on the train. There were also people selling peanuts, melon seeds and soda. There was no need to get off, and it was not safe.

There was also the possibility of missing the train. Chuxia had seen passengers who had been delayed for too long downstairs and were thrown down when the train started because they did not squeeze in.

In the afternoon, Cen Huaian could not help asking Chuxia, "Mom, where are Heizi and Huangzi now? I really want to go and see them."

Chuxia also wanted to go. She took Cen Huaian down from the berth and happened to see a train conductor passing by their carriage. Chuxia asked her if she could go and see the checked puppy.

The conductor checked her ticket and said, "It's OK, but there are all kinds of animals inside, and the smell is terrible. Are you sure you want to go?"

Chu Xia nodded without hesitation, "Go."

"Okay, follow me."

The conductor led Chu Xia and Cen Huaian to the back, and said to the two as they walked, "We don't know where the dog you checked in is, so you can find it yourself. Also, you can't disturb other livestock, so don't get close to those cows and sheep, move slowly, and keep your voice down."

After talking all the way, the three of them arrived at the last carriage. The conductor opened the door and took them in. As soon as they entered the door, the smell of various livestock filled the air. It was hard to tell what the smell was, but it was very smelly and unpleasant.

The conductor covered his nose and said, "I knew it was very smelly, you can find it yourself."

After that, he quickly backed out.

Chuxia and Cen Huaian also thought it smelled bad, but they were more worried about Heizi and Huangzi, so they started looking for them in each cage.

All the checked animals were large animals, and the puppy was small, so they put it in the front, and they soon saw Huangzi and Heizi.

Because of the crowded space and the poor air circulation, the two puppies lay listlessly in the cage, without any energy at all.

Chuxia and Anan had never seen the two puppies like this before, and they felt so distressed.

"Heizi, Huangzi." The cage was a bit high, and Anan tried hard to reach out and touch the puppies, but couldn't do it.

The two puppies immediately became excited when they saw their owner, and squeezed their heads onto the cage, "whining" and complaining to their owner.

Cen Huaian became even more anxious after hearing this, and stood on tiptoe to reach again, but still couldn't reach.

At this time, Chu Xia reached out and hugged him up forcefully, and An An finally touched the two puppies.

But Chu Xia only held on for a while. She gritted her teeth, feeling that she had used up all her strength, and hurriedly asked Cen Huaian: "An An, are you okay?"

Her voice changed because of the excessive force.

Hearing Cen Huaian's "hmm", Chu Xia immediately let go, and his clothes were pulled up to his chest with Chu Xia's arm.

When Chu Xia shook her arm and let him go completely, Cen Huaian silently pulled his clothes down.

Seeing that Chu Xia kept rubbing her arms after letting him go, Cen Huaian thought to himself: Mom is not as strong as Dad, so in the future, only Dad should hold him, so as not to tire Mom.

Thinking of this, he looked up and continued to look at the puppies and talk to them. Chuxia walked over and touched Heizi and Huangzi's heads. They were visibly in much better condition.

Not long after, the conductor called them outside, saying that they couldn't stay in the consignment car for too long. Chuxia and An'an could only quickly say goodbye to Huangzi and Heizi, and touched their heads before taking Cen Huaian out of the consignment car.

When walking back with Chuxia and the others, the conductor smiled and said, "How are the consigned puppies? We have been doing consignment on this train for many years, and nothing has happened to the cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Chuxia nodded, "Hmm". The puppies are healthy, but it must be uncomfortable to be consigned like this. She sighed in her heart and just hoped that the train would arrive at the station soon.

When she went to bed at night, Chuxia didn't sleep well. The berths don’t have doors, they are all compartments, and the trains are connected. Fortunately, the conductor will lock the door between the hard seats and the berths at night, otherwise I would not dare to sleep at night.

Even so, Chu Xia would wake up if there was any movement in her sleep, but Cen Huaian slept soundly in her berth, and was not disturbed by the train at all.

I don’t know what happened that night, Chu Xia heard the sound of a man and a woman arguing while she was sleeping, followed by a child crying loudly.

She didn’t sleep much all night.

She was very listless during the day, and she slept for a while leaning on the bed, but because there were people walking around in the berths, she didn’t sleep well.

Until getting off the train in the afternoon, Chu Xia still walked out with a listless face. The train experience of these two days and one night was really terrible.

She and An An went to pick up the checked puppies. Although the two puppies had gone through a long journey, they looked listless.

But they didn't have much food and water left, and there was nothing vomited in the cage. Chu Xia checked and thought there should be nothing serious.

Chu Xia was still carrying the luggage, and An An pulled the cage with a chain. She led An An out of the station.

Before leaving the station, Chu Xia saw Cen Zhengnian standing at the exit. His eyes were always on the crowd, constantly looking for Chu Xia and An An.

Before Chu Xia called him, Cen Zhengnian's eyes met hers, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, and his eyes followed her and An An.

Until the two came out, Cen Zhengnian immediately reached out to take the luggage from her hand, and a young man standing next to him also reached out to help.

"Second cousin, this is my cousin's wife and An An? Seeing is believing!"

The young man looked at Chu Xia and Cen Huaian with a friendly smile on his face. He wanted to reach out and touch An An's head, but he dodged by tilting his head.

However, when Cen Zhengnian went to rub An An's head, he not only did not dodge, but also rubbed it admiringly, with happiness in his eyes, and kept looking up at Cen Zhengnian.

He finally saw his father again, but his father looked much thinner.

Chu Xia looked at the young man in confusion, questioning Cen Zhengnian with his eyes.

Cen Zhengnian gave all the luggage in his hand to the young man, holding Chu Xia with one hand, holding An An with the other hand and said: "This is my eldest uncle's youngest son-Jiang Zhida."

Jiang Zhida held the luggage and felt that his second cousin's behavior was a bit excessive. Throwing all the luggage to him, he held his young son and his beloved wife. No wonder he agreed to bring him to pick up his cousin's wife. It turned out that it was all for this moment.

However, when facing Chu Xia, his smile was extremely bright: "Hello, cousin's wife, just call me Da Zi."

Cen Zhengnian nodded and said to Chu Xia: "Everyone in the family calls him that."

"Hello, Da Zi." Chu Xia greeted him with a smile, and asked An An to call him uncle.

Cen Huaian looked at Jiang Zhida curiously, and felt that this uncle was different from the uncle he imagined, but he still called him obediently: "Uncle."

"Hey! So good!" Jiang Zhida's smile was about to extend to his ears, and he began to fumble for the red envelope on his body in a panic: "It's strange, I clearly put it in my front pocket."

Cen Zhengnian ignored him and took Chu Xia and An An to the parking place: "You look a little unwell, did you encounter anything on the way?"

He looked at Chuxia with worry. From the moment he saw her, Cen Zhengnian noticed that her face was pale, her eyes were dark, and she looked listless.

Chuxia raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and said with a tired tone: "I didn't get enough rest in the car. There were noises all night. It was too noisy."

If she was at home, she wouldn't hear the thunder outside late at night. But in the car, she would be awakened by the slightest movement, and then she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Cen Zhengnian touched her head with heartache, combed her hair and said: "The house is tidy, you can take a nap in the car later, and you can go to sleep directly when you get home."

He drove here, and this car belonged to Jiang Zhida's eldest brother Jiang Zhishu.

Zhishu Jiang did not join the army or politics. He did not follow the path of his elders. After the reform and opening up, he went into business.

He is now the richest in the entire Jiang family. Although Grandpa Cen always scolds him for being ungrateful and disrespectful to his ancestors, he still does his own thing and does not care at all.

He bought this car. In the whole circle, I don’t know how many of his peers envy him for having a car.

After all, most of those who have cars now are from government units, and very few individuals have them. Not all the younger generations with a family background have the money to buy a car.

Moreover, the situation is still in the trial stage. Many people are still afraid of the days in the past few years. Even if they have money, they dare not go too far, lest it happen again and the whole family will be ruined.

Jiang Zhida finally found the red envelope and rushed up. He put away the luggage and put the two dogs in the front row.

"An An, this is for you!" Jiang Zhida threw a bulging red envelope from the front, which fell directly into Cen Huaian's arms.

"Take a look quickly. If it's not enough, tell your uncle. Your uncle has money!" Jiang Zhida patted his chest and said with confidence. He gave so much money, An An must be satisfied.

An An opened the red envelope and saw that it was filled with one, two, and ten yuan. The red envelope was almost bursting.

Cen Huaian's eyes widened, he looked at Jiang Zhida, then at the red envelope, and began to calculate in his mind: if every elder who saw him gave him such a big red envelope like his uncle, he would calculate his own savings and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"Thank you, uncle." Cen Huaian didn't take his eyes off the red envelope when he spoke, he took it out and started counting.

Jiang Zhida was still waiting for Cen Huaian to say whether he was satisfied or not, but he didn't wait for a long time, and saw him counting money.

"An'an..." He wanted to continue asking, but Cen Zhengnian reached out and pushed Jiang Zhida's head back: "Drive home quickly, your cousin and An'an are very tired."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Zhida looked at Chuxia embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, cousin."

Chuxia smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay." She wouldn't care about these, and Jiang Zhida's attitude towards An'an and her has always been welcoming, so she has no reason to be dissatisfied.

The car started, and Cen Zhengnian's hand reached to the other side of Chuxia's shoulder and brought her head to his shoulder: "You lean on me and sleep for a while, it's still a long way to home."

Chuxia was really tired and sleepy, and didn't say "um" to him, and leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Jiang Zhida saw from the rearview mirror that Chuxia had fallen asleep, so he drove the car more steadily, trying not to let the car have any bumps.

As the car slowly approached the alley of the house, the sky was gradually getting darker. There were more bicycles on the road, and more voices, all of them were employees going home after work.

Chuxia heard the noise, rubbed her eyes and sat up, and the coat covering her body fell on the seat as she moved.

Cen Zhengnian naturally took the coat and asked her if she was feeling better and if she was cold.

Chuxia nodded and shook her head: "I'm fine. Where are we now?"

She looked out the window, seeing completely unfamiliar streets and houses. This was the capital city she was not familiar with, and it was also the place that countless people yearned for in the future.

"It's not too far from the alley to home."

An An was lying on the back of the passenger seat feeding the two puppies. When Chu Xia fell asleep, as long as the two puppies wanted to bark, An An would immediately touch their heads and whisper, "Heizi and Huangzi, don't bark, my mother is sleeping." Heizi

and Huangzi had a tacit understanding of Cen Huaian's actions and could understand some simple instructions.

If the little master didn't allow them to bark, they would just "whimper" a little, wag their tails wildly and act cute to Cen Huaian, asking him to stroke their fur, without barking all the way.

Even Jiang Zhida was surprised that these two little dogs were so smart.

"Mom, are you hungry? I have some biscuits here."

Cen Huaian had some snacks that Chuxia put in his pocket, so he could eat them anytime he was hungry on the train.

Chuxia had just woken up and had no appetite at all, nor did she want to eat biscuits. She shook her head, touched Cen Huaian's head and said, "I don't want to eat."

As Cen Zhengnian said, the car turned a corner and arrived home soon.

Cen Zhengnian got off the car to open the vermilion door, and Chuxia and An'an followed him out.

Chuxia looked up at the courtyard of the capital. All she could see were branches with buds sticking out of them, and at the door of the house were several steps, with a stone lion standing on each side of the steps.

The car couldn't go in, Jiang Zhida came down to help move the luggage, and Cen Huaian went to take down the puppy's cage first.

Cen Zhengnian opened the door and came over, holding Chu Xia's hand and said, "Let's go in and take a look. If there's anything we're not satisfied with, we can slowly change it when the time comes."

After walking over the steps and entering the gate, there was a gatehouse with a bicycle parked inside. Facing the gate was a screen wall carved with the word "Fu" and bamboo and plum blossoms. Only after

going around the screen wall and going to the back could we see the complete courtyard of the house, with houses on both sides and in the middle, with east and west side rooms on both sides, and the main house in the middle.

Cen Zhengnian took Chuxia to the west wing, where he had already decorated the room: "The bed and quilts here are all new, Chuxia, do you want to lie down and take a nap?"

Cen Zhengnian lived in this house when he was a child. Later, after his parents were transferred to the northwest, the house was vacant and his uncle and uncle helped to take care of it.

When he went to college, he would stay here for a few days when he was free. After he started working, the house was empty again.

Cen Zhengnian didn't have much time to come and clean up, so he asked his uncle to help find someone to clean up the house inside and out.

Bad things should be thrown away, and new things should be bought. In order to pick up Chu Xia and An An today, Cen Zhengnian took a day off. He looked around the house in the morning, and when he found something inappropriate, he continued to clean up and bought a lot of things.

In fact, when Grandpa Cen learned that Chuxia brought An'an to Beijing today, he wanted to take them to his house and have a good meal at home.

But Cen Zhengnian said that Chuxia's train was almost due in the evening, and she and An'an must be very tired after sitting for such a long time. It would only make her more tired if she came to Grandpa's house to meet so many elders. It would be better for her to rest at home and meet the elders anytime. When

Grandpa Cen heard what Cen Zhengnian said, he also felt that he was not thoughtful enough to only think about meeting his grandson's wife and great-grandson, so he listened to Cen Zhengnian and took the people back to their home first.

Chuxia did not sit on the bed, but asked Cen Zhengnian: "Is there a place to wash at home? I want to wash my face first."

"Yes."

The facilities of this house are very complete. Although there are only a few days of rest time, the house itself has been well preserved without any major changes. Just some facilities that make life more convenient have been added.

For example, there is hot water in the bathroom, so you can take a shower directly. The bathroom can also be directly pumped. Compared with the small building in the family compound, this place is really much more convenient.

Especially when she saw that she could take a shower, Chuxia's eyes lit up.

"I want to take a shower first." After being in the car for so long, the smell of the car was not pleasant. Chuxia had wanted to take a good shower for a long time. She just didn't say it because she was afraid that the conditions did not allow it.

Now that she can take a shower, of course she will take a shower.

"Okay. I'll get you clothes." Cen Zhengnian said immediately, without any objection at all.

Chuxia thought of her underwear, her face instantly became hot, she quickly grabbed him and said: "I'll get it myself, you go talk to An'an, he has some questions for you."

Cen Zhengnian noticed that Chuxia's ears were a little red, he stopped, smiled and said: "Okay."

He turned around and went to find An'an who was playing with two puppies under the jujube tree in the yard.

Chuxia quickly took the clothes and went into the bathroom. Soap and towels were all in the bathroom. Cen Zhengnian said they were all newly bought and clean, and the pink one was hers.

Hot water rushed down from the shower, and Chuxia felt very comfortable. She didn't know how long she had been looking forward to taking a bath at home like this, and now it finally came true.

When Chuxia came out of the shower, Cen Zhengnian and An'an were no longer in the yard, and even the two puppies were gone.

Chuxia wiped her hair with a towel and walked around the yard in confusion. She saw several people in the living room of the west wing, and two wooden food boxes with several layers were placed on the dining table in the living room.

Cen Zhengnian was the first one to see Chuxia because he was standing facing the outside.

He showed a gentle smile to Chuxia and said with a smile: "Chuxia, the food has been bought back, you can come and eat."

Considering that Chuxia and An'an had just arrived and Cen Zhengnian's cooking skills were not good, he asked Jiang Zhida to buy food from a famous old restaurant.

The food here is light and not greasy, and tastes very good, just right for Chuxia and An'an to eat at this time.

Chuxia took a bath and felt more energetic, but also felt hungry. She responded, found a dry towel to wrap her hair, and then went to the living room to eat.

At this time, Cen Zhengnian and Jiang Zhida had already laid out the food, six dishes and a porridge, the porridge was the red date and yam porridge specially cooked by the restaurant.

Cen Zhengnian pushed Chuxia's porridge in front of her and said, "His porridge has always been liked by many people. Do you want to try it and see if it suits your taste?"

Cen Huaian also had a bowl of porridge in front of him, and he had already taken a few sips.

"Mom, it tastes good." Hearing his father's words, Cen Huaian immediately looked up and said to Chuxia.

Jiang Zhida also said, "Cousin, please try it. If I hadn't told the boss in advance, this porridge wouldn't be here now."

Chuxia smiled, picked up the spoon and said, "You all said it's good, so it must taste good."

She lowered her head and took a sip, and the sweetness of red dates and the sweetness of rice filled her mouth. In addition to the taste of the food itself, there was a faint sweetness that she didn't know what it was, but it blended perfectly with the food. The yam was also soft and delicious.

"It tastes good." Chuxia looked up and said to the three people who were looking at her, and her eyes met with Cen Zhengnian. He looked at her intently, and there seemed to be other emotions in his eyes. Chuxia

didn't dare to look at him any more, and quickly lowered her head to continue drinking the porridge. She drank most of the bowl of porridge without realizing it, and her whole stomach felt comfortable instantly.

Cen Zhengnian picked up a piece of blanched greens with chopsticks and put it in the small bowl in front of Chuxia: "Don't just drink the porridge, eat some vegetables too."

Chuxia felt Jiang Zhida's playful eyes fell on her and Cen Zhengnian, and quickly said: "I'll eat it myself, you don't have to pick it for me."

The blanched greens were also delicious, crisp and refreshing, and the freshness of the greens themselves was not lost at all. Chuxia couldn't help but take another bite .

Simple dishes can show the chef's cooking skills. Each of these dishes is very homely, but each one has been worked hard, and it is not the level that ordinary people can make.

Chuxia and Cen Huaian ate very happily.

Jiang Zhida didn't stay here for long. He was ready to leave after dinner.

"Cousin, you don't have to see me off. I'm very familiar with this place. An An, do you want to live with me at your great-grandfather's house?"

Jiang Zhida teased An An before leaving. Cen Huaian shook his head without thinking, holding Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian's hands and said, "I want to live with my parents."

Jiang Zhida raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Cen Zhengnian saw him to the door and closed it.

As soon as Jiang Zhida walked out, Cen Zhengnian's hand had already pushed the door halfway. He quickly turned around and held the door that was about to close, and asked Cen Zhengnian: "Second cousin, are you and your cousin's wife going to grandpa's house tomorrow?"

Cen Zhengnian: "It depends. If I want to go, I will tell grandpa in advance."

He had to ask Chuxia what she thought before going to visit grandpa with Chuxia, in case she thought it was too hasty to go tomorrow.

Jiang Zhida smiled meaningfully: "I understand, I understand. Second cousin, I have never seen you listen to others so much since I was a child. Your cousin's wife is really capable!"

Before Cen Zhengnian could say anything, he jumped away with a laugh, ready to hurry home to share this with his brothers and sisters.

When the second cousin who is like an iron tree blooms, it will be really amazing.

Cen Zhengnian glanced at him, then closed the door and locked it without caring.

Chuxia had brushed her teeth and wanted to let Anan take a bath, but she was afraid that Anan would not be able to wash thoroughly.

Cen Zhengnian happened to come over, so she handed the task to him: "Don't forget to let Anan brush her teeth, and remember to apply baby cream after washing your face."

Chuxia pointed to the things she put on the sink outside the bathroom and said, turning around, she looked at Cen Zhengnian's face again, and smiled and said: "You can also apply it."

Cen Zhengnian listened to her joking words, raised his face, picked up the baby cream, looked at the ingredients carefully and said: "It is indeed suitable for me to apply it."

"Really?" Chuxia came over to look at the ingredients, and Cen Zhengnian explained each one to her. This was his professional knowledge, and he naturally understood it.

The knowledge used in his work includes not only mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but also engineering machinery. It is very complicated, so if they want to research something, they must have rich theoretical knowledge.

Of course, theory and experiment must be combined, otherwise it will be just talk on paper.

Cen Huaian ran over from the bathroom at some point, leaned on Cen Zhengnian's body and listened, and asked questions from time to time.

If Chu Xia hadn't realized that it would be too late if she didn't take a shower, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian could have continued talking.

Chu Xia went back to the bedroom first. She thought she wouldn't fall asleep so quickly while lying on the bed, but she didn't even turn a page of the book before her eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't open them.

She casually put the book next to the pillow, lay down, and fell asleep in less than a second.

When Cen Zhengnian came back from taking an shower with An An, Chu Xia was already sleeping soundly.

Cen Huaian's room was next to theirs, and inside was a 1.5-meter-long bed that Cen Zhengnian specially prepared for An An. The size and appearance were similar to the one in the courtyard at home.

Cen Huaian didn't feel strange after lying on it.

After covering An An with the quilt, Cen Zhengnian was about to go back to his and Chu Xia's room to sleep. An An immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, Mom always tells me a bedtime story every night."

Mom didn't tell him a story today, but Dad could tell him one.

Cen Zhengnian stopped, turned around and sat back on his bed, and asked Cen Huaian, "What story did Mom tell you?"

Cen Huaian knew the story, "Confucius traveled around the countries."

After Chu Xia came back from No. 9 Middle School, she told Cen Huaian a little bit every night. He fell asleep quickly, and Chu Xia still hadn't finished talking about the countries he traveled around.

Cen Zhengnian continued to talk about the countries that Chu Xia had talked about. His voice was neither hurried nor slow. Although it was emotional, it was also very helpful for Cen Huaian, who was tired from the car ride, to fall asleep.

Cen Zhengnian was talking when he realized that An An had fallen asleep. He stopped talking and looked at Cen Huaian's sleeping face. His nose moved with his breathing, and a gentle smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

He pulled the quilt up for Cen Zhengnian again, got up, turned off the light, walked out of the room, and entered his and Chu Xia's room.

Chu Xia was also sleeping soundly, and one could even hear her soft breathing. Because she fell asleep in a hurry, she didn't bother to tidy up her hair. A few strands of hair fell on her face, rising and falling with her breathing.

Cen Zhengnian reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears, took the book away from her face, and then carefully turned off the light and went to bed.

Cen Zhengnian lay next to Chuxia, the soft quilt sank a little, and before he could reach out his hand, Chuxia automatically rolled into his arms, with her legs on him, and found a comfortable position in his arms to continue sleeping.

Cen Zhengnian felt Chuxia's soft body and silently recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart. She trusted him too much and forgot that he was also a man in his prime. Chuxia

's sleeping posture was indeed not good, and she would roll around at night. Cen Zhengnian was used to her like this and knew how to deal with it. As long as he hugged her with his arms, she would be much more obedient.

Cen Zhengnian did not sleep well that night, but Chuxia slept very well. When she woke up in the morning, she felt relaxed all over, and yesterday's fatigue had completely disappeared.

The chirping of birds outside was particularly pleasing to the ears. Chuxia was stunned for a moment when she opened her eyes and found that it was a strange environment. Later, she remembered that she had come to Beijing.

Chuxia was getting dressed when Cen Zhengnian came in from outside with a towel in his hand.

Seeing that Chuxia woke up, he smiled gently: "You are awake. My grandpa wants to meet you. Have you thought about when to meet him?"
