The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

No one expected that the photos and the people would arrive one after another.

Since I’m not at home, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just have to make do with my own food and clothing. If I can’t eat the dumplings provided by the army, I’ll just eat those at home first.

He skillfully picked up the bamboo scoop net from the wall, picked up the bowl from the counter, and started scooping the dumplings floating on the water, licking the corners of his mouth as he scooped. He was so skilled.

"What are you standing there for, squad leader Liu? Come in, this is my home~!"

Glancing at Liu Feng, who was still standing outside the door with a hesitant look on his face, Li Nan didn't show any courtesy. Each of them scooped a bowl and then filled the vinegar dish. He felt extremely self-conscious, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"No, Li Nan, let's wait for uncle and aunt to come back. This should be the breakfast they prepared~!"

Liu Feng was reluctant to come in. His face flushed red, he spoke stutteringly, and looked around for help. He was hungry, but he knew the rules. It was obvious that the breakfast was prepared by someone else, so it would be useless for him to eat it.

The army has rules and cannot take anything from local people. Although it is Li Nan's family, he is not so casual.

“Gululululu~!”

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, Liu Feng's stomach started growling, inadvertently exposing the fact that he was extremely hungry.

"Come in, I'll cook another pot. I don't know what they've been doing. If we cook any more, the dumpling skins will break. Let's eat first. It's okay~!"

Pulling the shy Liu Feng into the house and stuffing the chopsticks into his hand, Li Nan picked up the steaming plate on the table and poured the wrapped dumplings on it back into the pot.

"Hey, who is this person? He just walked into someone's house and started eating?"

The Yan family next door, perhaps through the window glass, saw the two "big rats" entering the Li family. They rubbed their eyes and looked for a long time, but they couldn't recognize them.

When the thick quilt curtain was opened, Yan Bugui's eyes almost popped out when he saw Li Nan eating dumplings with vinegar.

He came to catch a thief, but he didn't expect that the person he saw was the second son of the Li family.

"You, you, you, Li Nan??"

Pushing up the legs of his glasses, Yan Bugui no longer cared about the aroma of dumplings in the air. His fingers trembled as he pointed at Li Nan who was eating with a gusto.

"It's me, Uncle Er, why are you here?"

"No, shouldn't I be asking you this? You, you, you've joined the army, in the southwest, right? Why, why...?"

Until she saw Liu Feng wrapped in a military coat, Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed as if she had discovered something strange. She simply stopped asking and smacked her lips and shook her head.

That look, that meaningful look, was like a machine gun, with bullets crackling at Liu Feng's face.

"Your brother probably doesn't know. You two should hurry up and eat. Your brother and your mother have gone to see your uncle and his family off to the next yard. You should hurry up and find a place to stay outside. I'll talk to your mother about this first so she can be mentally prepared~!"

Sure enough, Old Yan's next words were in a low voice. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. He waved to the third aunt to indicate that everything was fine. He asked her to go back first, and then he quietly persuaded Li Nan.

It was a misunderstanding. Old Yan had completely misunderstood. He was afraid that Li Feng, as the older brother, couldn't bear it, so he talked to Liu Yin first. Some things would be better if they were said slowly.

Li Nan went to join the army. Everyone in the hospital knew about it. But less than half a year later, he came back with a handsome young man. It was inevitable that Old Yan would misunderstand.

This is treating her as a deserter, and she ran back because she had a boyfriend. If Li Feng, the deputy factory director, knew about this, he would tear this unruly sister to pieces.

That’s right, Old Yan also felt that Li Nan was out of tune. Why was such a good girl learning dance?

"What is it, Uncle Er? I'm going home, why don't I live at home? What are you talking about? I don't understand~!"

Li Nan was just a child, so she didn't think so much. When Old Yan told his mother about moving out, she was confused by what he said.

"You and her?"

Seeing that he couldn't make things clear with Li Nan, Old Yan turned his gaze to Liu Feng. After all, in terms of age, he looked older. The younger one was immature, so could it be that the older one was also immature? Could such a thing be done openly?

"Hello, comrade. Li Nan and I are both from the Rongcheng Military Region Art Troupe. We came to Beijing this time with a mission arranged by our superiors. Here is a letter of introduction~!"

Liu Feng realized something from Old Yan's words and the regretful look on his face, and he hurriedly explained.

"It was arranged by your superiors that you two are both soldiers?" Old Yan realized it later and felt that he had been worrying too much. He wondered if he had misunderstood. Looking closely at the two people's clothes, they were completely different from the military uniform that Li Feng wore when he retired from the army.

"Yes, we are all active military personnel who just got off the train. Li Nan said her home is nearby, so we came here to eat something and rest. We took several days of train ride to get here~!"

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Old Yan looked embarrassed after suddenly realizing what had happened.

"He is my squad leader. He took good care of me in the army. Uncle Er, he has been on the train for several days and nights. I brought him back to eat dumplings. What can my brother do to me~!"

Li Nan still hasn't thought about the emotional issues and still believes that Old Yan is because of the dumplings in the pot. But things are no longer the same as they were before. His brother has a high salary and the family can afford it even if they eat them every day during the New Year.

It's completely different from the poor calculations of the old Yan family.

"Yes, yes. Oh, Nan Nan, you don't know that there was a postman who brought your letter this morning. Your mother was so happy. She didn't expect that you have returned home, completed the task assigned by your superiors, and can go home to celebrate the New Year. This is a good thing, a good thing~!"

After understanding the whole story, Old Yan didn't want to stay any longer. The right thing to do was to report the news as soon as possible. A man and a woman came to the capital, and to complete some mission. Old Yan felt that it was strange no matter how he looked at it.

"He is the second uncle in charge of our courtyard and also a math teacher in the elementary school. He is very calculating~!"

Inside the room, what Li Nan said just happened to reach Old Yan's ears. His feet slipped and he almost fell on his butt. Old Yan was a little amused and helpless about Li Nan's evaluation of him.

After sending the uncle and nephew off, the mother and son were locking the door of the back room next door. Li Feng was holding the baby chair that his uncle had ordered for Huihui, and Liu Yin was holding her adorable granddaughter, and they had no idea what was going on.

It was not until Old Yan stretched out his hand, hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and ran towards this side that he gradually stopped.

"Hurry, hurry back, Li's sister, and Xiaofeng, your Li Nan, Li Nan is back, and brought a boy with him~!"

Yan Bugui, who had not even run two steps, was now out of breath. He held his knees, raised his hand and pointed at the gate of the courtyard, and said in a sly manner.

"Old Yan, it's New Year's Day, what a joke! My Li Nan is in Chengdu, right? Huihui, where is your aunt?"

Liu Yin didn't take it seriously and thought Old Yan was joking. The letter from Li Nan was still in her hand. She didn't believe it at all and even teased her granddaughter.

"Rongcheng, aunt~!"

The little guy nodded as well. He already knew some simple words, although he didn't know what they meant.

Only Li Feng frowned, and suddenly felt that the matter was not that simple. Old Yan was so anxious as if he had seen a ghost, it didn't seem like he was lying.

"Really? Oh, why would I lie to you? I'm really back. I'm eating dumplings with that guy. It's definitely Li Nan. He just got off the train~!"

Before she could finish her words, Liu Yin ran home. Her face had changed, sometimes white, sometimes red, and she looked gritting her teeth. She was really led in another direction by Old Yan's pretentiousness.

"what's the situation?"

Li Feng finally calmed down. Although he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts, he was still patient. He just changed from holding the baby chair to carrying it in his arms.

"Go back and take a look first. I don't think it's anything, but... I'll hold this for you~!"

"No thanks, Uncle Er~!"

Li Feng, carrying a baby chair, walked quickly towards home with a stern face. His mind was a little confused. After all, he had been a compulsory soldier for three years and there was no leave to go home.

"Mom, what are you doing~?"

When he arrived at the door of his house, before the curtain was lifted, Li Feng heard a very familiar voice from inside.

"Dad, Dad, Grandma, Aunt, hit me~!"

The baby's sweet voice made Li Feng, who had just lifted the curtain, pause for a moment. The situation in the room seemed tense.

The familiar Liu Feng was protecting Li Nan, with his mother holding a coal tong in her hand. However, the military uniform they were both wearing now, Li Feng, looked so familiar.

"Hello, Auntie, is there any misunderstanding?" (End of this chapter)
