The investigation report showed that Xu Niannian and Lu Huaijin got married in Kyoto and had met Xu's father and mother.

If Xu Niannian was sent by the organization, it would be impossible that no clues were discovered.

After much thought, the most likely possibility is that she was possessed by a ghost!

Su Qingyao felt that she was very smart.

The next step is to expose Xu Niannian.

Although Zhu Laoer was very reluctant, he was still sent away the next day. Zhu Xiaomei refused to go back under the pretext of taking care of Zhu Laotai.

He even surrendered to Su Qingyao and said he would be obedient in the future.

Old Mrs. Zhu felt that it was okay to keep her, as her daughter-in-law deserved someone to cook for her now that she was pregnant.

The heavy snow lasted for four or five days without stopping, causing heavy snow accumulation in the surrounding villages and even collapsing many houses.

After morning exercises, Lu Huaijin hurried home:

"I'm going to help with disaster relief in the surrounding areas. You should be careful at home with the children."

Xu Niannian had been worried for the past two days, but she didn't expect it to come so soon:

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, we'll leave after dinner."

Xu Niannian hurriedly started packing his luggage, combining the high-calorie foods she had made earlier, as well as the steamed buns, dumplings, chili sauce, and pickled mustard tubers that her family had made, and also stuffed a few pills into the luggage.

Lu Huaijin quickly drank the soup, looked at her back as she cleaned up for him, and sighed:

"At the end of the year, I sent a message to my mother. If she wants to come, I can find someone to help her with the procedures. But things haven't been finalized yet, so I haven't told you yet."

"I will definitely take care of this for you when I come back this time. Otherwise, I will be worried about you being alone at home."

Xu Niannian finally tied the food for him and was happy to hear this:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, but just don't attract any bad luck this time."

She still remembered that during the heavy rain last year, a little girl pestered him.

Lu Huaijin also thought of this, and his face froze:

"Make sure the mission is accomplished."

When he saw the two children nearby were concentrating on eating, he leaned over and kissed her on the mouth.

Then he walked in front of Lu Ze without saying anything.

Lu Ze got there first.

Lu Ze knew that his uncle always went out to beat up bad guys, so he thought this time would be the same:

"Uncle needs to beat up more bad guys and come back soon!"

"Okay, I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back!"

Lu Ze stared at the bulge on his uncle's body and reached out to grab it:

"Is uncle hiding some delicious food now?"

Lu Huaijin didn't expect Lu Ze to go straight to his crotch, and he was almost caught by him when he wasn't paying attention.

Xu Niannian next to him was laughing so hard that he fell down.

Lu Huaijin's face also turned slightly red. How should he explain to the two of them that he didn't hide anything?

I could only cough lightly:

"You two should take good care of your aunt and the baby in her belly at home, and be obedient."

When Lu Ze heard this, he looked away.

He recently did something without telling his parents and he didn't know if he would be scolded.

Seeing his guilty look, Lu Huaijin said to him seriously:

"What did you do?"

Lu Ze shook his head without saying anything, and lowered his head to drink the millet porridge in his hand.

Xu Niannian smiled:

"You're almost done eating. I'll take care of Lu Ze. What can a little brat like him do?"

Lu Huaijin thought about how Lu Ze had been very well behaved in the past. He knew that time was running out, so he quickly finished the food in his mouth and hugged Xu Niannian.

"I'm leaving. I'll be back soon."

As he said this, he tilted his head and gently kissed her temple.

There were two children next to him. Xu Niannian pushed away the chest that was pressing against him:

"The kids and I will be waiting for you at home."

Lu Huaijin gave her one last deep look before striding out.

It seemed that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to carry out missions.

Only then did Xu Niannian have time to look at Lu Ze.

After being together for a long time, I naturally know what kind of person he is. Now it is obvious that he has made a mistake, which is why he is like this.

Come to think of it, the two of them have been acting a little sneaky lately. Could they be hiding something from me?

"Aze, do you remember what your aunt told you before? If you have anything to discuss with your aunt?"

Lu Ze bit his lip and ran out.

Xu Niannian didn't chase after her. She just sat down to eat. The simple pumpkin porridge she had in the morning was sweet and soft, and the pickled cucumbers were especially crisp and refreshing.

I enjoyed eating both the porridge and the cucumber happily.

Lu Yilin on the opposite side stamped his feet, looked outside, then lowered his head and moved closer to Xu Niannian.

"Aunt, don't blame my brother. He just can't bear it. It's all my fault."

Xu Niannian had just finished her meal and put down her bowl and chopsticks:

"Come on, tell me what happened."

Before Lu Yilin could say anything, the sound of branches breaking was heard outside.

Xu Niannian thought that Lu Huaijin would shake off some of the snow on the branches every day, so how come all the branches were broken?

I opened the kitchen door and looked outside. It was Lu Ze who was standing on a chair, breaking off branches.

The snow was very thick and the chairs were shaking and about to fall over. Xu Niannian was getting nervous.

Xu Niannian walked over quickly and helped him hold on:

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ze turned his head and pouted:

"I want to break off a few branches."

Xu Niannian helped him break off a few branches and carried him down:

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?"

Lu Ze was obedient this time. He picked up a rope from somewhere on the ground, tied the branches together, and then tied it around himself.

Realizing that he couldn't do it alone, he waved his hand and asked Lu Yilin to do it.

Xu Niannian was a little confused:

"Aze, what are you doing? Tie yourself up?"

Lu Ze nodded firmly:

“I did something wrong.”

"you say."

There were already branches tied to his back, and he was about to bend down and kneel down to Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian took his hand:

"You go first."

Lu Ze looked up at Xu Niannian with his big innocent eyes:

"Aunt, I met a puppy these days, and I secretly saved some steamed buns every day to feed him."

Xu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't know, you might think Lu Ze has made a big mistake by doing this. How is this different from talking while panting?

"Then why are you kneeling down for me with the branch on your back?"

"Didn't Auntie teach us an idiom some time ago called 'carrying a thorn tree to ask for forgiveness'? I should be punished for doing something wrong."

"Then why do you think you did something wrong?"

"It's a waste of food. Food is precious now."

"But the puppy you like is also very precious. Can we go and get him back? Auntie can let you keep him at home."

Lu Ze's eyes lit up:

"Really?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

After a long winding road, at the end of the road, under an old tree,

Lu Ze shouted at the pile of debris below:

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come out quickly, I'll take you home."
