Xu Niannian stared blankly at his back, wondering whether he believed it or not.

Was he really just asking casually, and was he exposed?

Why is it that in other period novels, even if the heroine is exposed, the hero will still coax her, but in my case, I am left with nothing but the back of my head.

Could it be that I am destined to be a cannon fodder? I am destined to pull back the plot.

Will he bring people to hand himself over and treat him as an enemy spy or an abnormal person to be sliced ​​and studied?

Xu Niannian was feeling confused and took a basin of water.

I buried my head in the basin of water, feeling the cool touch of the water and the suffocating water pressure that sobered me up.

Lu Ze stood by the window and realized something was wrong after watching for a while. His aunt had buried her head in the basin of water for a long time.

He ran out crying:

"Aunt, aunt, aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yilin also followed behind with his short legs.

When Xu Niannian heard the crying, she shook her face in the water and then raised her head.

Sister Li was still gossiping with the man next door. When she heard Lu Ze crying, she was startled and stood up immediately.

When she raised her head, she saw Lu Ze's face wrinkled with tears, and one of his little hands was pulling at the corner of her clothes.

Sister Li still looked anxious:

"Why do you look so bad?"

Lu Ze sobbed and said:

"My aunt wants to commit suicide."

My grandmother and uncle had taught me not to stay underwater for too long, and my aunt, as an adult, must know that.

Death is like being like mom, never able to speak again and never coming back.

This sentence frightened Sister Li. She thought Xu Niannian had a strong temper, so she quickly pulled him to his seat:

"Captain Lu criticized you? We are just reading some gossip. There are so many military wives watching around us."

Lu Ze understood that it was his uncle who made his aunt angry. Just now, only his uncle had spoken to his aunt. He clenched his little fists tightly.

Xu Niannian took the towel hanging from the wire and wiped the water droplets off her face:

"Sister-in-law, he didn't say anything to me. I was just washing my face."

Then she looked at Lu Ze who was slowly stopping crying and wiped his face with a towel:

"I told you to go in and sleep, why don't you go to bed? Auntie is fine."

Then he took out two pieces of White Rabbit candy from his pocket:

"Share it with your brother, then go lie down in the room for a while."

Sister Li watched the two children enter the house:

"Your children are much more obedient than our children. My children are too tough."

Xu Niannian smoothed her hair:

"I hope they can be as tough as your children."

Sister Li didn't understand what was good about being tough, so she talked about what happened at noon:

"I always thought Wang Xiuying was a good person. I feel uncomfortable when she came to apologize this time. She didn't take good care of the child."

Xu Niannian's mind was still on Lu Huaijin, and she was a little distracted. When she heard this, she continued:

"Children can actually best reflect her true feelings. Maybe she is just pretending to be holding the child. After all, they are an orphan and a widow and have come to apologize to you. You must accept it."

Sister Li slapped her thigh:

"I was wondering what was wrong, and it turns out it's here. This person is really thoughtful."

If her son Erniu made someone cry because of a schoolbag, she would beat him until his butt was bruised, not to mention apologizing to the person.

She hesitated.

"Then tell me, what's going on between her and Shen Ming?"

Xu Niannian put up the towel:

"How long can Wang Xiuying live in the compound?"

"I guess we have to wait until the child can walk. When he's two or three years old, no one will take the initiative to talk about this."

"It's much better for her to find a stepfather in the military camp than to take the child back and find another one."

Sister Li thought of the situation at Wang Xiuying's home:

"My husband and Wang Xiuying's husband were in the same regiment. We kept them in the family compound because Wang Xiuying fainted from crying. Her family seemed to favor boys over girls. As a widow, she would definitely not be able to marry into a good family."

Then he slapped his thigh again:

"But Shen Ming has a wife and children. This is not a good idea."

Xu Niannian frowned. Only a very hungry person would not care whether the bread has been stored for a long time.

The reason why Shen Ming was chosen was probably because he lived next door, but also because of his personality.

Thinking of Wang Hongmei's character:

"Today is considered a formal declaration of war. I don't know how it will turn out in the future."

At noon, Wang Hongmei probably vented all the anger she had accumulated over the years at once; she was too emotional.

As a result, the people around were also biased towards Wang Xiuying, and she seemed to be wrong even though she was originally right.

Sister Li immediately felt a little pity for Wang Hongmei:

"Wang Hongmei is quite pitiful. Are we going to the mountain to pick mushrooms this afternoon? Or take her with us?"

Xu Niannian felt that she was also upset at home, so she might as well follow Sister Li up the mountain:

"Okay, we'll leave when the kids are in school."

Lu Huaijin arrived at the office, took out Xu Niannian's political review materials from the drawer, and read them carefully one by one.

To be honest, it is the growth process of an ordinary girl.

It also doesn't mention that she had learned cooking, needlework, or even wine making.

He pinched his brows, suppressing the uneasiness rising in his heart.

Finally, he looked at the police rank in his hand, clenched and unclenched his fist, pressed his lips into a straight line, and made a phone call:

"Help me check this person, Xu Niannian."

If she is, what should I do?

At around two o'clock, Sister Li came to find Xu Niannian carrying a large backpack.

Xu Niannian also changed into a loose set of clothes to wear when going up the mountain.

When Wang Hongmei opened the door for them, she was surprised:

"Are you... okay?"

Xu Niannian showed her the backpack:

"We are going to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Do you want to come?"

It rained a little the past two nights, so now is a good time to go.

Wang Hongmei was stunned for a moment:

"Then wait for me."

After the commotion at noon, everyone else probably felt like she was crazy, so if someone came looking for her at this time, she would want to grab them.

Xu Niannian noticed that she had changed her clothes, and this one had patches on it.

The deputy battalion commander's salary should not be low. He is the only child in his family, so he shouldn't be without even a few pieces of clothes. But it's not a good question to ask directly.

After a while, Wang Hongmei came out with her child.

The three of them walked up the mountain together. Xu Niannian looked at the child who was about the same age as Lu Yilin:

"How old is the child?"

The child sat quietly in the backpack with his eyes open, looking outside.

Wang Hongmei's pale face showed a hint of smile:

"Three years old."

"You're the same age as our Yilin. Why don't you send him to a nursery? That way you'll have time to do other things."

Wang Hongmei smiled bitterly.
