The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

The early morning light shines into the yard of my home.

Before I had time to clean up, the tables, chairs and benches were covered with wood shavings under their legs, sparkling in the sunlight.

There was a faint smell of paint in the air.

These are brand new furniture that have been painted with a layer of varnish and placed outside to dry. There are not only some furniture but also a wooden stepladder leaning against the wall.

Peering in through the gap in the curtains, I saw Jiang Defu lying on the big bed in the master bedroom. His right hand was still on his eyelid, and he was snoring intermittently.

Banggeng climbed over the wall into the yard with his little eyes looking very sneaky. However, there was another door at the balcony connecting the house to the yard. Looking at the locked door, Banggeng, who was already a grown-up, looked distressed.

Jiang Defu, who was lying in the room, seemed to have sensed something. His right hand, which was resting on his eyelids, subconsciously slid down, and the snoring sound gradually disappeared.

Bang Geng, who was outside the window, immediately became alert. Of course, it was not because of the adult on the bed, but because he saw a pistol. After removing the magazine, there were still orange-yellow bullets on it.

Bang Geng's eyes widened and his heart began beating rapidly. His first reaction was fear, but his second reaction was that he was eager to try.

The classmates in school had at most a wooden pistol made at home with a red silk cloth tied around it, or a paper pistol folded from textbooks. But the one in this room was the real thing, and it was real at first glance.

When Jiang Defu turned over in bed, the eyeball in the gap of the curtain suddenly disappeared.

He tiptoed back to the ladder, took a look at the various small furniture on the ground, and with reluctance in his gaze, he climbed over the wall and climbed back up.

Under the wall, Xiaodang, who was feeding a rabbit, saw his brother coming back and immediately stood up to provide cover. However, he saw that his brother had empty hands and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Bang~!"

He jumped down from the wall, and the sound of his big footsteps landing on the ground was unusually dull. Jiang Defu, who was sleeping in the master bedroom next door, suddenly jumped up and his upper body stood up.

After rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was at home. His tense expression gradually relaxed. He looked at the gun on the table. He didn't realize that he fell asleep halfway through cleaning it last night.

"Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, have you finished feeding the rabbit? Come over and eat~!"

The greeting from next door completely dispelled Jiang Defu's sleepiness. He blinked his sore eyes hard, rolled up his sleeves and went to the bathroom.

Compared to living in the office, it is indeed more convenient to have a home. At the beginning, he didn't quite understand why Anjie had to raise funds to buy a house, and he was very resistant in his heart.

But when he really moved in, he realized that he still had a home and it was comfortable. Even if his wife and children were not here, at least it was his own home.

After washing up quickly, he went to the backyard, picked up the tables, chairs and small stools that had been drying for a few days, put them close to his nose and sniffed them. He found that the smell of paint was lighter, so he brought them into the house.

After sweeping up the shavings and sawdust on the ground, I poured them into the stove in the kitchen, used them to light the fire and cook at the same time.

Compared to when I first came here and only bought some bed frames and other things, now there are more tables, chairs and benches, so it doesn't look so empty anymore.

It’s not that he wanted to save the money, but the new home would always have some new things. He learned the carpentry skills from the people in the carpentry workshop next to the laboratory. When he returned home and had nothing to do, he applied what he learned in his life.

After a pot of sweet potato porridge was cooked and a bowl of it was served, Jiang Defu moved a small stool he made and sat in the backyard to eat breakfast. It turned out that the stool was made of something and looked quite sturdy.

"Ok??"

Jiang Defu took a casual glance and saw the wood shavings on the wooden ladder by the wall, and he became a little puzzled.

Except for the time he used it to install the ceiling fan, he hadn't used this ladder for a few days. Until he saw the footprints on it, he lowered his head and compared them with his own feet, then he realized that they were not his.

Fortunately, the wood shavings on the ground were not cleaned up last night, otherwise, I might not have noticed that someone had entered my yard~!

Jiang Defu's face suddenly became a little annoyed. He put the bowl and chopsticks in his hands on the stool. The sound of footsteps he heard in the morning turned out to be the child next door.

After all, the ladder was leaning against the courtyard wall between the two houses, and there was no one else there except their family~!

Ask the security department to solve it?

He was responsible for protecting the research institute, but someone broke into his house. Although he was just a teenager, it was still embarrassing enough because he could protect the research institute but not his own home.

Climbing up the ladder, Jiang Defu verified his judgment. The wood shavings went up to the wall and then fell into the yard next door.

"Hey, you, a grown man, want to climb over the wall of a widow's house, right? Good fellow, but I caught you~!"

Jia Zhang, who was also holding a bowl of rice porridge and eating breakfast in the backyard, saw Jiang Defu suddenly appear on the wall in the middle. She jumped up on the spot excitedly, as if she had grasped something, and pretended to throw the chopsticks in her hand over.

The noise in the backyard was immediately transmitted into the house, and Qin Huairu walked out of the house holding a bowl.

I saw my mother-in-law cursing there, and the man who lived next door showed half of his body on the wall, looking at his own house with a frown.

"Keep a good eye on your child. If he climbs over the wall and falls, you have to take him to the hospital!" There were no secrets in his room, and Jiang Defu was not worried about anything being leaked. However, he still had to remind a half-grown child if he had to climb up the ladder.

"What are you talking about~!"

The noisy Jia Zhang still remembered how fiercely the man twisted her arm. But Qin Huairu sensed something and looked at Bang Geng and Xiao Dang who were unwilling to come out of the house. Usually, they loved to watch the fun.

Jiang Defu did not make any further explanation and pointed to the footprints on the ground. To him, it did not matter. At most he could just remove the ladder. Anyway, he had already reminded them. It would not be so easy to turn it over again.

"I'm going to report you to the police. Are you trying to sneak in here and act like a hooligan? You've brought shame upon your ancestors, and even your widow's family is keeping you in the dark!"

Jia Zhang was still cursing relentlessly, but Qin Huairu, looking at the footprints on the ground in the yard, then at the rabbit cage beside her, thought of the reminder from the man opposite, her face suddenly changed and she rushed back into the house.

There was chaos in the Jia family's house. When it came to educating children, Qin Huairu still didn't want Banggeng to do these things and go down this evil path.

The result was that Jia Zhang protected her grandson and refused to let Qin Huairu beat him, and even scolded her.

"Why don't you show it to others? Are you afraid of catching us both doing this, Qin Huairu? You'd better wait until I die~!"

Because her daughter-in-law has remarried, Jia Zhang attaches even more importance to Banggeng. She thinks her daughter-in-law is an outsider and her grandson is her real relative.

"Why do you do these things~!"

Looking at Banggeng's defiant eyes, which showed no sign of admitting his mistake, Qin Huairu, who was holding a broom handle in her hand, became even more angry.

"I'm hungry, my sister is hungry too, why don't you buy us some meat~!"

"You can't climb over the wall to steal from someone else's house!"

Qin Huairu felt extremely hurt by the ungrateful words. She wanted to swing the broom again, but was stopped by her mother-in-law.

"What? You still want to kill Bang Geng and create another one for someone else out there? Forget it!"

That's not all. These harsh words could make Qin Huairu so angry that she was out of breath. It was impossible to beat her. As long as this trouble-making mother-in-law was around, she couldn't be educated at all.

"Let me ask you, will you dare to climb over the wall again in the future?"

"I didn't dare go over there. He had a gun, a real gun, and I was afraid he would shoot me~!"

Banggeng was quite honest and told everything he saw in the morning. He also said that there were no sausages or bacon hanging in the house.

The empty house felt even poorer than my own home, and the attraction to Banggeng immediately declined.

Qin Huairu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt as if her heart was pinched by someone. Jia Zhang, who had been unwilling to give in, immediately covered Banggeng's mouth and looked at her daughter-in-law.

"Who is next door? Are you here to catch me?"

Thinking of the rude words he had just said, Jia Zhang immediately became nervous, subconsciously. It might be because he had been punished by violent agencies and had developed PTSD.

"He seems to be a security guard at the research institute~!"

To be honest, Qin Huairu didn't know much about Jiang Defu next door. She only knew that he was from the Security Department. The last time they went back together to get the keys, Qin Huairu went back to the workshop, but at the workshop door, she saw Jiang Defu walking straight towards the research institute.

Thinking about it this way, it is normal to carry a gun. After all, Li Feng also carried a gun after returning from work and brought it back home. It is just right that he can use it to scare Bang Geng.

"Don't go there next time. They are from the security department. If they catch you for petty theft, you will go to jail~!"

After a warning, the family finally quieted down. As for Jiang Defu, a man whom Qin Huairu rarely saw, she became even more curious.

The security officers are equipped with guns, but they usually don't carry them home, unlike the drivers. The drivers have to go out all day long, and those who go far away may not come back for several days, so they carry the guns with them when they are issued. From this point of view, Jiang Defu is not an ordinary person.

"Dangdang, Huairu~!"

"Dangdang~!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. When Qin Huairu heard Cui Dake's voice, her scalp suddenly went numb and she subconsciously looked at her mother-in-law.

Not to mention it, it would be like meeting a lifelong enemy. Although she couldn't stand her daughter-in-law marrying again and again, Jia Zhang still held on to the last bottom line and would not allow wild men from outside to enter the Jia family.

He jumped up on the spot, reacted extremely quickly, and started swearing as soon as he got to the door, in a very ugly way.

Jiang Defu, who was preparing to go out next door, shook his head subconsciously. (End of this chapter)
