Chapter 726: Happy and harmonious In the next few days, Lu Qingyang paid more attention to the information fed back by the small animals.
He was no longer simply alert, but began to carefully distinguish the subtle differences between those "abnormal" behaviors.
He discovered that the "man with glasses" who was first noticed by Shen Mo and Aunt Liu was indeed secretive in his whereabouts. He always appeared at different time periods, and his observation angles were more tricky, as if he was looking for some loopholes.
But the other two groups of people had completely different behavior patterns.
A group of people always sat at a fixed post not far from the alley entrance, or leaned against the wall to read newspapers, and from time to time they would glance at their own courtyard gate and the direction where the "glasses man" appeared.
The other group of people was more secretive and mobile. Sometimes they were peddlers on tricycles, and sometimes they were passers-by walking hurriedly, but they had one thing in common: they seemed to focus more on the "glasses man", and would even approach him intentionally or unintentionally when he tried to approach the gate of Lu Qingyang's house, forming an invisible barrier.
He found his father again, and this time his tone was much more relaxed, with a hint of tentativeness: "Dad, it's been quite lively around our house these past few days."
"Did you notice? I was worried too, but then I found out that the higher-ups had posted a few people at the gate of the compound, supposedly to protect you."
"Am I safe? What do I have to protect?" He scratched his head subconsciously.
Fang Zhong looked at his son, who seemed to have not yet fully realized the seriousness of the situation, and sighed: "You don't care, or rather, you don't realize how important the things you made are in the eyes of some people."
"You went to the front lines to modify those weapons, especially that mine-clearing vehicle, and it's been put to good use in actual combat. This is no secret. The equipment and technology departments above have highly evaluated this. This means that you are considered a person of great value in enhancing national defense. In our eyes, you are a treasure, but in the eyes of some who are hostile to us, you need special attention. If we don't use you for their own benefit, you will become a target they will try to eliminate or control."
"I understand, Dad." Lu Qingyang's expression also became solemn. "I will be more careful in the future and try not to cause trouble for the organization."
Fang Zhong patted him on the shoulder and said, "You and Shen Mo should stay at home for a while. The military compound is still very safe. After we have investigated the matter thoroughly, you can go back to school."
Lu Qingyang had no other choice.
He didn't dare tell Shen Mo the reason, and only explained that because of their relatives, they had to stay at home during this period and not go out.
As for the school, there are naturally people to help them deal with it.
When one-year-old Shitou and Xiaoyuer were just learning to walk and babbling, the couple accompanied them in the yard to bask in the sun, recognize pictures, and play simple games.
Lu Qingyang put aside the disturbances of the outside world, concentrated on enjoying family happiness, and his mood also calmed down.
Although Shen Mo didn't know the specific reason, she was happy to see the relaxation between his brows and was relieved.
During this period, Lu Qingyang also had more time to read and think, and prepare for the future.
On the surface, he lives a peaceful life, but through the small animals in space, he still quietly pays attention to the movements of the outside world.
For babies around one year old, milk alone is not enough nutrition for them, so Aunt Liu often makes some rice noodles for them to eat.
Although Aunt Liu was helping at home, Lu Qingyang suddenly had the urge to do it himself when he looked at the two children's pink and tender faces.
It's a rare opportunity for these two kids to eat his cooking, and this is a good opportunity for them to show off his cooking skills.
First attempt, the most basic egg yolk paste.
He carefully separated the egg yolks, added a small amount of warm water, put them in a small bowl, patiently stirred them evenly with chopsticks, and then steamed them.
The heat is the key. When the time is right and the egg yolk paste is out of the pot, it will emit a simple aroma.
Little Fish smacked his lips as he ate, while Little Stone waved his hands to indicate that he wanted more.
On the second day, Lu Qingyang prepared to make some apple puree. He selected ripe apples, peeled and cored them, cut them into small pieces, and steamed them in a small bowl.
The steamed apples become soft and can be pressed lightly with a spoon into a paste with a natural sweet and sour taste.
This time he even used gauze to filter the apple puree to ensure an extremely smooth taste.
Aunt Liu was also learning from the side, and even felt that Lu Qingyang was more careful. "Oh, Qingyang, I have to learn these from you."
"I'm just wondering."
When he was in a good mood, he would hold Little Stone and Little Fish, point to something in the yard, and repeat in a clear and slow voice: "This tree, this green tree."
"This flower is a red flower."
Lu Qingyang gently took their little hands and touched the smooth leaves and rough tree trunks to feel the different textures.
We even brought a bowl of clean water and a bowl of warm water, letting them dip their little feet in them and feel the difference between "cool" and "warm".
At first, Shen Mo found Lu Qingyang's "strange" ways of playing interesting and novel.
"The child is still young, do you understand?" she asked with a smile.
"Let them see more, hear more, and touch more. It's like watering and fertilizing a sapling. When the time comes, it will naturally sprout."
A few days later, Fang Zhong brought back accurate news that the agent codenamed "Cobra" and his accomplices had been successfully captured by the security department, and the intelligence network behind him had also been severely damaged.
The threat has been temporarily lifted and the alert has been downgraded.
Lu Qingyang and Shen Mo's life finally returned to normal.
The next morning, they prepared to go to school as usual.
Lu Qingyang also noticed that something was different from the past.
When he pushed his bicycle and walked out of the gate of the compound side by side with Shen Mo, he caught a glimpse of the old man who no longer worked behind the familiar cigarette stand on the opposite corner of the street, and a young man with a calm face who occasionally glanced over here.
Not far away, there was a man wearing old work clothes, who looked like he was waiting for work. He leaned against the wall seemingly casually, but his posture revealed an imperceptible uprightness.
He turned his head and smiled gently at Chen Mo beside him: "Let's go, we haven't been to school for a long time, I guess you have missed a lot of lessons."
The tone was relaxed and natural, as if nothing had changed.
Shen Mo didn't doubt him and responded with a smile: "Oh, I have to make up for it quickly."
They rode their bicycles and merged into the crowd.
