It was another day off. Chu Ling'er, Moe, and Little Nannan had the most fun.
Laughter rang out incessantly.
Lin Dong was usually very busy, so it was rare for him to accompany them.
This time, they were given two days off in a row. They even rode on carriages, rode on boats, and traveled all over the mountain. How could they not be excited?
"Uncle, we roasted a lot of chicken wings, and they were all smeared with honey. Try it!" Moe was most concerned about the uncle's stomach. She was deeply afraid that he would be hungry. As soon as they stopped for a meal, she roasted a lot of chicken wings. She didn't give them to anyone and left them all for Lin Dong.
"Hmph, stingy. Who doesn't know how to roast chicken so easily!" Chu Ling'er took a big bite out of her slightly charred chicken wing. Her little white teeth crunched, but after chewing for less than three seconds, her pretty little face scrunched up like a bitter gourd. There was too much honey, so sweet that it was greasy. The chicken wing was roasted too well and had a burnt taste. Even as a self-proclaimed head chef, she didn't think much of the taste.
"Little greedy cat, I'll give you one!" Moe rewarded the pitiful Little Nannan with one.
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Meng. Long live Sister Xiao Meng!" The surprised Little Nannan happily received it. She couldn't bear to take a bite herself, so she first handed it to Lin Dong. When Lin Dong tactfully declined and said that he also had some, she handed it to her mother. Wen Hui also shook her head. Only then did she really start eating.
"Don't eat too fast. Slow down. Don't choke." Seeing that the little fellow wanted to compete with Lin Dong, Wen Hui hurriedly dissuaded her.
She took another tissue.
He carefully wiped her little mouth that was a mess from the food she ate.
Cheng Mingge also liked to tease Little Nannan. He handed over another honey chicken wing: "Do you like it? I'll give you another one. Come on, you must win against me! Little Nannan is so amazing! "
"Heh!" Hearing Cheng Mingge's praise, Little Nannan's pink face smiled like a flower.
It was exceptionally sweet.
When Wen Hui saw the smile on her baby daughter's face, she felt very comforted.
Perhaps it was a meeting of fate. Who could have imagined that the little baby who had been unable to wake up from the nightmare and had been tortured in his arms that day would have such a blissful day after meeting him? At that time, she had already given up all hope. But his appearance was like a ray of sunlight that directly shone into her cold and dark heart, directly dispersing all the darkness and extending his hand to save her precious who was already on the verge of death!
Just as he was thinking …
Suddenly, the phone rang. Wen Hui hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge before walking away to answer the call.
"How has Nannan been recently?" The one who called was him, a "him" who was constantly plotting revenge but was afraid that his wife and daughter would be implicated, so he avoided their lives.
"Good, Nannan's body is fine now and she is very happy. According to the teacher in class, she often takes the initiative to answer questions and is also willing to play with a few other children. Although she still rejects strangers most of the time, she is no longer so introverted. Over here, there is Ling'er, Xiao Meng and the others to play with her, so she is not lonely. Occasionally, she will think of you, but you are always unwilling to pick up her call, so she is a little disappointed. Wen Hui knew why he was unwilling to pick up Nannan's call. It was because he was worried that Nannan would be kidnapped by the enemy. He deliberately put on the image of a cold and heartless avenger to protect them from another angle.
To the outside world, he was a good and impartial official.
He was in the prime of his life.
He also had the support of the higher ups, so he was a key target for training and had a bright future.
But the people who knew the truth and his enemies knew that he was only hiding and waiting for an opportunity. This extremely vengeful man had never stopped his revenge plan for a day, nor had he forgiven the various accomplices of his enemies.
"Ah Hui, I will leave Nannan to you! You must take good care of her. She is my only hope in this life, and also the only pillar of support for my survival! I know that you are suffering, and it is very difficult for you, but please, for the sake of me and her dead mother, take good care of her! " He paused on the other end of the phone and said: "I have also heard some rumors and know that many enemies are secretly slandering you. I am very sorry that I do not have the ability to completely remove these hidden arrows for you, but I understand you, very, very understand! "
"I treated those words as mad dogs barking and did not pay attention to it. You do not need to worry." Wen Hui looked at Nannan and nodded with certainty: "Nannan, I am also her mother, I will definitely take good care of her. In terms of safety, you do not need to worry. Yang Jingxin has been transferred to the genetic soldiers for training, but there will be genetic soldier bodyguards coming over to pick us up. Even if there is another assassination attempt, we will be safe and sound. You do not need to worry about this! "
"I am just worried about you …" He muttered to himself for a while, as if he was organizing his words: "Ah Hui, you have helped us too much, I do not know how to thank you. In regards to your difficulties, I only want to say that as long as you think it is good, then do it. Do it, whether it is true or false, I do not care. You should understand what I mean, Ah Hui, you have suffered too much. You should go and pursue something that belongs to you! We are only husband and wife in name. It is only an identity and a kind of help that you use to help me take care of Nannan. I cannot let this become an obstacle in your life, and I will not use it to destroy the happiness that you can pursue! I have some understanding of your condition, and I know your pain. Although the process of this pain is different, I have a deep understanding of it! "
"Let's not talk about this, you know what kind of person I am!" Wen Hui interrupted the other person's persuasion, and glanced at Lin Dong with a little worry.
She was afraid that he would hear these words.
Although they were separated by a great distance, she knew that his ears were especially sensitive.
In fact, any genetic soldier's eyes and ears were very sensitive, not to mention a "mad scientist" like him who researched genetic medicine.
"Alright, I will not persuade you, you make your own decision. I called you just to tell you that I will not interfere with your life. The two of us are husband and wife on the surface, Nannan's father and mother, but we are only husband and wife in name, not real husband and wife. Some of the basic things of a happy family, I cannot give you; some of the things of a normal life, I cannot give you! Ah Hui, you do not belong to me, my heart is also completely on the side of the deceased Nannan's mother. Don't give up the things that truly belong to you because of my family, or because of the comments of the outside world. Who knows, maybe that is your true happiness! Right now your heart is in a mess, and you do not want to listen, I will not say anymore. Ah Hui, take care! "He sighed and hung up the phone.
"..." Wen Hui finished the phone call, and did not return to her senses for a long time.
"Mother!" Nannan felt full, and stretched out her two dirty little hands, shouting for her mother to come and help.
"Ah, mother will be right there!" Wen Hui was shocked, and hurriedly woke up from her thoughts. She quickly adjusted her mental state, and once again threw herself into the joyous gathering. She did not know if it was because of the phone call, but she found that she kept inadvertently looking towards Lin Dong's direction. This abnormal reaction made her blush with shame.
How could this be?
Fortunately, everyone was playing around, and no one noticed, or else it would be too embarrassing.
After the gathering, they went to the stream to catch fish. Little Nannan played until her whole body was wet, but unfortunately she did not catch a single fish. Instead, she picked up a handful of small stones.
It was as if she had found a treasure.
She clamored for her mother to help her bring it back to her room, and let go of the fish in the tank.
The fish did not even have a shadow yet! She thought of laying a layer of small stones at the bottom of the fish tank. Wen Hui did not know whether to laugh or cry as she helped her pack it up. It was considered a harvest from today's play. As for Chu Ling'er, in half a day's time, she had already caught more than ten small fish, and her results were more than double that of the cute little fish. She very generously expressed that Uncle, Big Sister, and Big Sister would each give two fish, and then Little Nannan would also give two. No matter what, she made everyone promise that they would raise them well. They had to raise all of the precious fish that she had painstakingly caught until they were white and plump, and they were not allowed to be careless.
"I will definitely work hard, thank you Big Sister Ling'er!" Little Nannan was extremely happy, and ordered two of the most beautiful colored fish.
"You really know how to pick!" Chu Ling'er was a bit reluctant, but she had already said that she would give them. Moreover, Little Nannan only wanted the beautiful color, and not the two largest and most lively fish, so she reluctantly gave them up, and repeatedly warned: "Change the water for the fish in the morning and night, and feed them once a day. Don't let them starve. I spent a lot of effort to catch them, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Little Nannan worshipped Big Sister Ling'er endlessly. She was actually able to catch so many fish, too amazing!
"Change the water in the morning and night, are you sure?" Cheng Mingge estimated that if they were to toss and turn like this, in less than two or three days, these small fish would all die, but she was too lazy to care. It would not be too late to scold this silly girl Ling'er after the small fish were tossed and turned to death.
"I will go back and look for information to see how to raise them! I don't believe that using scientific methods to raise fish, I can't raise these small fish! "Chu Ling'er was very determined.
"What about you?" Cheng Mingge asked the adorable girl.
"I will prepare a larger fish tank, and then just throw it there." The adorable girl knew that these small fish had a very tenacious vitality. If they were left alone, and occasionally fed, they would be able to live for a long time. If they were tossed and turned every day, they might be tossed to death one day. The adorable girl did not point out Chu Ling'er's enthusiasm. She knew best what kind of person this best friend of hers was, and her enthusiasm only lasted for a short period of time. On the first day, she might change the water in the morning and night, but on the second day, she would not be able to do it. On the third day, even if she asked her to change the water, she would probably be too lazy to care. In the future, when it came to feeding the fish, she might even have to feed them so that they would not starve to death!
On the way back, Wen Hui received another call.
This was not from him, but from his cousin and his cousin-in-law.
Members of a family would contact each other and deepen their communication. This kind of communication between family members was very normal.
Especially since Wen Hui was now a very popular person. Whether it was his or her family, the relatives of both sides would come looking for them, either for a small gathering or to invite them to some kind of festive banquet.
For example, today.
"We just arrived at Dong Mountain. Yes, we are planning to walk around Dong Mountain for the next few days. Little Min and Little Fang are getting married. Ah, yes, yes, the one from the Fang family. He just came back from Yale University, and he has some knowledge. The daughter of the Fang family is going into politics, and Little Fang is not going to go there anymore. It will be strenuous. He will most likely go into business in the future. Anyway, young people are energetic and aggressive, and it is good for them to go out and make a living. We have to prepare a decent dowry for Little Min, so that she will not be disrespectful. Come over when you are free, and don't force yourself. We know you are busy with work, and we understand. It's fine, it's fine if you come over later. We are still in the city, and coincidentally met a few old friends here. We were just talking about you, so I wanted to come over and give you a call! " On the surface, his cousin said that he did not want Wen Hui to go over, but this person was very prideful. If he came to Dong Mountain and Wen Hui did not go over to greet him, who knew what he would think in his heart!
Wen Hui thought for a moment, then mentioned this matter to Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge, "I might have to go to the city for a while. You guys help me take care of Nannan."
It was a small matter, so Cheng Mingge naturally nodded.
Lin Dong quickly furrowed his brows, but he did not let anyone notice. He only replied to Wen Hui in a flat tone, "Got it. Little Nannan is fine, but you have to be careful. Right now, there is a turbulent undercurrent outside. It looks calm on the surface, but we do not know what is going on in the dark. If there is anything, give us a call. Do not delay!"
Wen Hui was slightly startled. Was this a warning?
Or was he unhappy?
Did he not like that she had to run around to deal with people from her family?
For a moment, she did not know what to say. In fact, she did not want to go at all, but because of her face and favors, if she knew he would say this, she would have said that she was busy with work and refused to go. No, she should not have picked up this call!
Wen Hui felt a little regretful in her heart, but there was no other way. She had already promised them!
