Accidentally entered a high gate

Ma Lifeng is not only not afraid that his daughter will forget him, but he also wants to see whether she will hug him and cry, or pretend that she doesn't know him.

After finishing their meal, the couple began studying.

Zheng Chunfang is a high school student.

Ma Lifeng studied psychology, management, metallurgy, and forging.

Five days later, when Zheng Chunfang was passing by the guardhouse of the residential compound on her way home from get off work, the guard gave her two letters. Both letters were addressed to Ma Lifeng.

Zheng Chunfang thought Ma Lifeng hadn't finished get off work yet, but when she got home, she saw Ma Lifeng carrying a bucket of water from the public tap into her home.

As Zheng Chunfang put her bicycle away, she asked, "Was the guardhouse empty when you came back?"

"Yes, I do. What's wrong?"

Zheng Chunfang took two letters out of her bag and handed them to him. "Why didn't he just give them to you directly?"

As Ma Lifeng received the letter, he said, "What else could it be? They still think I'm a rabbit."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Didn't Director Lü already call back? Didn't the Party Secretary say in front of everyone in the office that we're a real couple?

Ma Lifeng casually remarked, "People only like to spread rumors, not refute them. And since I was allocated a new apartment as soon as I arrived, even fewer people are going to refute the rumors for me. Why did Grandma write me two letters in a row? Is she afraid that once I return to Beijing, I'll go from a model socialist youth to a feudal tyrant like Chen Shimei?"

Zheng Chunfang was at a loss for words when she saw that he still had the mind to joke. "Grandma must have had my brother write back to me as soon as she received my letter. But as soon as my brother mailed the letter, Director Lü and the others arrived. After Grandma found out that they worked at the same factory as you, she wrote you another letter. If they won't help us refute the rumors, we'll take the initiative to do so."

"I'm not going to bother. I'll wait for Director Lü to come back and clear things up for me. Don't bother either. You have to go to work, study, and take care of me."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Should she think her man is being kind to her? Or should she think he's too lazy? "Aren't you afraid the rumors will spread further?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm not a rabbit." As he spoke, Ma Lifeng had already finished reading both letters.

After watching...

Seeing his strange expression, Zheng Chunfang asked, "What's wrong? Is my grandma really afraid you'll turn into a heartless man like Chen Shimei?"

"Grandma said that after Director Lü and his group arrived, they insisted on staying at our house, but they were so scared that they left that very night."

Scared out?

Zheng Chunfang quickly took the letter.

After watching...

Although her grandmother wrote it rather cryptically, anyone who had heard the legend of that house would understand immediately. "Is that house really haunted?"

"Um."

"Then why are we fine after living here for so long?"

After Ma Lifeng learned that Xiao Wanwan was a little fox in her past life, he asked her if there were any ghosts in their family. Xiao Wanwan told him that there were, but those ghosts would avoid the father and daughter.

Needless to say, it's his daughter. As for him, it's because of his parents and his two older brothers.

His parents and his two older brothers all fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They all possessed both merit and malevolent energy.

He was connected to them by blood, carrying their aura from birth. Furthermore, he had always lived in an area frequented by soldiers since birth. Ghosts dared not provoke him even more.

With him and his daughter keeping things in check, his wife is naturally safe.

He had considered having his daughter get rid of the ghosts, but he was afraid that his daughter would get involved in some kind of karma.

He deliberately didn't leave a key when he came back, but he didn't expect that Director Lü and the others would insist on staying even if they had to break down the door.

Ma Lifeng felt that they deserved it, but also that they had done a good deed.

Ma Lifeng straightened his back smugly. "Your man is a man of integrity. With me here, they wouldn't dare mess with you two even if they had ten times the courage."

Zheng Chunfang wanted to say "Stop joking," but it seemed like there was no other reason. "If Director Lü and the others ask us about it when they get back, we'll just pretend we don't know anything."

"Okay." Ma Lifeng leaned close to Zheng Chunfang's ear and whispered, "Let's have a good celebration tonight." Then, humming "We workers have strength," he went to fetch water.

Ma Lifeng didn't want his daughter to get involved in any karma, nor did he want people to think there was nothing wrong with the house. Now, even if he gave money to someone else, they wouldn't move into that house.

Zheng Chunfang couldn't help but blush.

That evening, after the couple finished celebrating, Zheng Chunfang wiped her sweat and glanced sideways at Ma Lifeng. "You're that happy?"

"Hmm. Let's continue..."

Zheng Chunfang immediately closed her eyes. "Huff...huff..."

Ma Lifeng grabbed his arm and shook it, saying with a wronged expression, "Wife, don't you love me anymore? Wife, don't you love me anymore? Wife, you..."

Zheng Chunfang wanted to kick him off, but couldn't bear to.

In the end, all we could do was continue celebrating.

Two weeks later, Director Lü and his group returned.

The Party Secretary convened a special meeting.

At the meeting, in addition to refuting the rumors about Ma Lifeng, the secretary also emphasized that farmers should not be looked down upon.

On Sunday, Zheng Chunfang specially switched shifts with her colleague. As a result, Ma Lifeng actually wanted to take her boating in the park.

Zheng Chunfang was at a loss for words. "Ma Lifeng, have you forgotten you have a daughter?"

"I haven't forgotten, I want her to think about us more. Come on, come on, I haven't rowed a boat in two or three years. Let me tell you, rowing is so much fun. Do you know how to row? If you don't, I'll teach you. I'm really good at it."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." If her daughter doesn't recognize her, she'll definitely beat up her husband!

The young couple strolled around the park for a while before going boating.

The young couple rowed the boat, chatting and enjoying the scenery.

The young couple played for more than two hours before paddling back to shore.

As they approached the shore, the young couple were discussing where to eat when they saw a dirty little girl standing on the bank with her hands on her hips, watching them. Behind the little girl stood six other people.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She's spoiled her man too much; she needs to change. "Mother, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Yan Xing, Yan Ning, Yan He, are you all coming to row a boat too?"

Ma Lifeng: "..." Who is that dirty kid? "Daughter, Daddy has learned to row! Daddy was going to pick you up from your grandparents' house. But you're here at the park too. Daughter, we're really connected as father and daughter. Daughter, come on up. Daddy will take you over there to play, the scenery there is so beautiful. Although Daddy just learned to row, I row very steadily. Daughter, come on up."

"Hmph!" Little Wanwan put her hands on her hips and huffed in a childish voice. "Grandma, Second Uncle."

Upon hearing this, Su Jingyu's face immediately hardened. "Xiao Zheng, have you forgotten you have a daughter?"

As Ma Lixing rolled up his sleeves, he looked at Ma Lifeng with a dark expression and said, "Come up here!"

Ma Lifeng didn't want to go up. "Daughter, Daddy thinks my skills aren't good enough yet. Daddy will go practice some more and then come back to pick you up, okay?"
