Accidentally entered a high gate

Chapter 39 Do you two have a death wish?

"Didn't you say that they both had black aura above their heads, and that it was the same kind of black aura? I suspect that their current predicament is probably related to a mission they completed together. I'm going to start from that point."

Little Bowl Bowl felt that her father was on the right track. "Dad, you're so smart."

"Of course." Ma Lifeng straightened his back smugly. "Let's go find your mother."

Zheng Chunfang was helping her mother and grandmother take apart the quilts when Ma Lifeng walked in, carrying a small bowl and smiling. "Grandma, Mom, are you taking apart the quilts?"

Tian Erya: "The sun has been shining these past few days, and we had some time, so we took it down to air it out. You're here to see Chunfang, right? Chunfang, go back with Lifeng. Grandma and your mother will finish the rest in a bit."

Zheng Chunfang wanted to spend more time with her mother and grandmother. Since she had gone to Beijing with Ma Lifeng, it wouldn't be easy for her to return to her parents' home. "What did you want to see me about?"

"My eldest nephew is here. He also brought a comrade-in-arms with him."

Zheng Chunfang: "..."

Zheng Chunfang's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Zheng Chunfang took a deep breath and looked at Tian Erya and Li Guihua seriously, saying, "Grandma, Mom, I'm going to Beijing with Lifeng and Wanwan. Lifeng has a job in Beijing. He's going to the countryside just to train himself and do something for rural development."

Tian Erya and Li Guihua: "..." What?! "You two are going to Beijing with Lifeng?! Lifeng has a job in Beijing?!"

"Um."

After confirming their relationship, Tian Erya and Li Guihua were both happy and worried. They were happy that their second granddaughter/daughter was going to the capital to live a better life. They were worried that once in the capital, their granddaughter/daughter's husband might not cherish her anymore, or might look down on her for being from the countryside.

Zheng Chunfang: "My nephew Lifeng came to pick us up. My mother-in-law was worried that Lifeng and I wouldn't be able to handle it."

Ma Lifeng: "My mother was mainly afraid that the two of us would lose her precious granddaughter."

Tian Erya and Li Guihua felt a little relieved after hearing him say that.

Tian Erya: "Does your mother really like bowls?"

"Yes. I sent my mother a picture of Wanwan. My mother said she had never seen such a beautiful child as Wanwan. As soon as my mother saw the picture of Wanwan, she wanted me to take them back with me. But Chunfang hasn't graduated yet, and I have to finish what I started. So we decided to wait until after the summer harvest to go back. We didn't tell you because we wanted to give you a surprise."

It was indeed a pleasant surprise. "You two should go back now," she said, needing a moment to process it.

Ma Lifeng: "So we're going back then?"

"Wait... Grandma will get you some local produce for your nephew and his comrades to try."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"No need to thank me!"

After Tian Erya gave it to him, he left with Zheng Chunfang and Xiaowanwan.

Watching their retreating figures, Tian Erya couldn't help but say, "This feels like a dream!"

Li Guihua also felt like she was dreaming. "Chunfang and her daughter are both from rural areas, so... how about we send them some food every month?"

"Okay. Jianhua will be the only one in our family studying now." Zheng Xinhua has also graduated from high school. "Go and call your father-in-law, your husband, and your two sons back."

"it is good."

A little while later, Li Guihua called the person back.

Zheng Fugui, Zheng Daniu, Zheng Xinhua, and Zheng Jianhua were also surprised when they learned why they had been called back.

Zheng Fugui: "This feels like a dream!"

Zheng Daniu: "Chunfang is really lucky."

Zheng Xinhua: "My second sister is indeed very lucky."

Zheng Jianhua: "Dad, Big Brother, are you two so happy you've gone mad?"

Tian Erya: "Exactly. Are you two trying to get criticized for saying that?"

Zheng Daniu: "I'm not saying anything more."

Zheng Xinhua: "I was wrong."

Seeing that they knew they were wrong, Tian Erya gave them a few more instructions before turning to her two grandsons and saying, "You two go to your eldest sister's house and bring her and Hongxia over. Tell them I miss them and want them to come back for a few days. Your second sister went to Beijing and we don't know when she'll be back."

"We'll go right now."

The two brothers finished speaking and then set off.

On the other side, Ma Yancheng smiled and said when he saw Ma Lifeng return with Zheng Chunfang, "Hello, Auntie! Auntie, I'm Yancheng. This is my comrade-in-arms, his surname is Zhou, and his name is Hanjiang."

Zheng Chunfang felt rather embarrassed. "Hello!"

Zhou Hanjiang: "Hello!"

Zheng Chunfang: "You guys chat, I'll go cook for you. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Ma Yancheng and Zhou Hanjiang: "No, thank you for your trouble, Auntie."

"No trouble at all. You two chat." With that, Zheng Chunfang left.

Little Bowl also wants to leave.

Little Bowl really didn't want to see two dark, indistinct things hovering in front of her. But these two people appearing before her with these two things on their heads must mean they were destined to meet. She had to help them get through this ordeal.

After taking the tea leaves out of the cabinet, Ma Lifeng handed them to Ma Yancheng.

Ma Yancheng accepted it without hesitation.

After taking it, Ma Yancheng brewed tea while asking, "Uncle, is Wanwan covering her eyes because she's scared? Or does she think Hanjiang is ugly?"

Zhou Hanjiang: "..." You're the ugly one! "Uncle, if I beat him up, you won't stop me, will you?"

"Hahahaha..." Ma Lifeng laughed as soon as he heard that. "You two are very close, aren't you? Do you often go on missions together? Come on, tell me about some of the missions you've done together. Don't worry, my sense of secrecy is no worse than yours."

Ordinary people are quite curious about the military.

Zhou Hanjiang didn't find it strange.

Zhou Hanjiang picked out a recent incident that he could talk about and shared it.

Just as Ma Yancheng was about to mention that they had both received a second-class merit for this incident, Ma Lifeng looked at them with a grave expression and said, "You two actually dared to keep that blind old lady who's been raised by spies for almost twenty years by your side?! Do you two have a death wish?!"

"Have you two ever considered that if you hadn't uncovered that spy, she could still be living like a wealthy old lady, eating whatever she wants? Have you two ever considered that she might hate you? Maybe she might want to kill you?"

"Also, have you two considered that perhaps she's the real spy chief?"

Zhou Hanjiang: "..." No way? "Those two spies not only adopted her, but also two orphans of martyrs. We investigated those two children, and they are not only clean, but also very patriotic."

Ma Lifeng took a sip of tea. "Just because those two kids are innocent doesn't mean that old lady is innocent too. If I were those two spies, I would also teach those kids to be patriotic. Because teaching them patriotism not only avoids detection, but it also clears my name when others suspect me. I don't need to explain how it would clear my name, do I?"

No need. If they suspected those two people were spies, they would definitely try to get information out of the children. If all they got were words about teaching them patriotism, even if they didn't rule out the possibility that the two were spies, they would wonder if their suspicions were wrong.

Ma Yancheng and Zhou Hanjiang exchanged a glance.

Ma Yancheng: "Uncle, we've both been blinded by victory."

Zhou Hanjiang: "We'll go investigate that old lady now."

"Neither of you can move right now. If you move, the other side might notice. You two stay home obediently. I'll go to the Armed Forces Department and talk to Minister Wang. Minister Wang often came to see me after I went to the countryside. It's normal for me to go and tell Minister Wang that I'm going back to Beijing now."

Ma Yancheng and Zhou Hanjiang thought about it and realized it was true. "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle."

"Be more careful next time. I'll go and talk to your aunt."

"it is good."

Ma Lifeng told Zheng Chunfang, then rode his bicycle and set off with Xiao Wanwan in tow.

After leaving the village, Ma Lifeng, seeing that no one was around, asked in a low voice, "Girl, has the black aura around your older brother and your brother Zhou faded?"
