Xie Zhuo had been away for half a month, and when he came back there wasn't much change. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that he had grown a little taller.

Of course, it may also be that he hasn't held Dabao and Xiaobao so high for a long time, so he had such thoughts.

The two boys smiled and hugged Xie Zhuo's neck. When they entered the house, they shouted loudly towards the kitchen, "Aunt San, Uncle San is back!"

Xu Yan was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. When he heard Dabao and Xiaobao shouting, he forgot to put down the vegetables he was about to cut and walked straight out of the kitchen.

The moment Xie Zhuo saw Xu Yan, he smiled with the corners of his eyes curved, then walked towards her quickly with Dabao and Xiaobao in his arms.

Normally, when he kissed Xu Yan, he would avoid the sight of the two kids. But this time, he didn't bother to put them on the ground. He moved over and hugged Xu Yan while kissing her on the hair.

"I'm back," Xie Zhuo said.

Although they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, Xu Yan felt as if he hadn't seen him for a long time. He didn't even react when the tomato in his hand fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xu Yan was just looking at him without saying anything, Xie Zhuo wanted to put Dabao and Xiaobao on the ground. Unexpectedly, Xu Yan suddenly reached out his hand, avoiding the legs of the two kids, and hugged him around the waist.

"Welcome home," Xu Yan said.

Although Xie Zhuo came back suddenly, Xu Yan was still the chef for today's meal. While she was cooking with Dabao and Xiaobao in the kitchen, Xie Zhuo went to take a shower.

That means it was winter and the weather was cold, otherwise he would have felt like he was smelling after staying on the train for four days without taking a shower.

By the time Xie Zhuo finished cleaning up, changed his clothes and returned to the kitchen, Xu Yan had already prepared the meal.

Seeing that his hair was not dried, Xu Yan frowned, "It's not summer yet, don't catch a cold."

"It's okay," Xie Zhuo responded, and Dabao ran back to their room to get a towel for Xie Zhuo.

"Thank you, Dabao," Xie Zhuo held a towel in his hand and touched Dabao's head.

The family ate the meal quickly because the weather had been cold recently and there was no stove at home. Once the fire in the stove was completely extinguished, the temperature in the kitchen would also drop.

Xie Zhuo took out the toys he bought for Dabao and Xiaobao in Nan Province from his suitcase. When Xu Yan played with them, he went to heat the kang in their room.

What Xu Yan meant was that it was almost dark and Xie Zhuo had been on the train for several days, so they should stop wasting time and the four of them should sleep in Dabao and Xiaobao's room for the night and then clean up tomorrow morning.

But Xie Zhuo didn't agree. He said he would go quickly, put on a thick coat, took a flashlight and went out.

Xu Yan was lying on the kang, watching Xiao Bao take a rubber duck and squeeze it. The air vent at the back of the duck's butt made a "squeak" sound.

The two kids were startled at first, then they started laughing after a few seconds.

Then Dabao picked it up and pinched it again.

"squeak--"

The two kids continued to laugh.

When they laughed for the third time, Xu Yan couldn't help himself. He put on his shoes and clothes, lifted the door curtain and went out.

Xie Zhuo has always been very efficient at his work. He can finish a task that takes Xu Yan twenty minutes in less than a quarter of the time.

When Xu Yan went to the backyard, he had already blocked the sack and bent down to pick up the flashlight on the ground. When he saw her, he curled his lips again, "Why did you come out?"

"Look at you," Xu Yan said.

"This isn't a big deal, it's quick," Xie Zhuo said.

"Oh," Xu Yan nodded.

I silently replied in my heart, it’s just for you!

Because the weather got hot earlier this year, the stove was no longer in use soon after spring began. Xie Zhuo thought it took up too much space, so he put away all the stoves in his room and Dabao's room and placed them in the warehouse in the backyard.

It’s not convenient to move out now, so we can only wait until tomorrow.

Fortunately, the weather is not that cold now and the kang is heated, so I won’t feel cold as long as I get into bed.

Moreover, only half of the families in Qingshan Brigade have started to heat their kangs now. Most families will wait until the first snow falls before they are willing to heat their kangs.

There was no stove, and the whole family gathered around a brazier burning firewood to keep warm.

When Xie Zhuo finished his work and went into the house to wash his hands, Xu Yan followed him and leaned on the edge of the kang, looking at him.

"Did this trip go smoothly?" Xu Yan watched Xie Zhuo apply soap on his hands and wash them carefully.

"It's okay," Xie Zhuo paused and thought for a while before saying.

Xu Yan frowned.

Before she could ask further, Xie Zhuo had already wiped the water off his hands with a towel, took off the coat he had been wearing for work, put on a new cotton coat, and then told her what had happened in the past few days.

His tone was okay when he said it, relatively calm, and his facial expression was also okay.

But Xu Yan somehow could hear the suppressed anger in his voice.

perhaps……

She was also suppressing her anger.

On the first day Xie Zhuo went out, Xu Yan guessed countless reasons in his mind.

They must have some difficulties, so they can't come to see the two children.

Maybe I'm too busy.

It may also be due to some other force majeure reasons that prevent me from coming.

Xu Yan selfishly found countless excuses for them.

Even when Xiaobao and Dabao cried and asked her and Xie Zhuo to be their parents, she thought to herself that they should never come again and even if they come, they should not take the children away.

At the same time, I was looking forward to their coming.

If they come, it proves that they love children, and Dabao and Xiaobao are not "abandoned" and unwanted wild children.

But she didn't expect it to be such a story.

One, unable to live without love, committed suicide; the other, started a new family and let go of the past.

Xu Yan didn't know how to evaluate their behavior, but from the perspective of the two kids, they were both extremely selfish.

"So you brought her here?" Xu Yan frowned, with anger in his eyes.

Xie Zhuo said nothing.

"That's it, mom." Xu Yan raised her voice a little, but when she thought of the two little ones who were still awake, she tried to lower it again. "She came here to fulfill her wish, but what about Xiaobao?"

"Being abandoned by her again?"

Xu Yan's voice was shaking a little.

Xie Zhuo heard it and reached out to touch her face, but she turned her head away.

Xie Zhuo's hand stayed near her face for a few seconds, then he forced his hand close to her face and touched her, ignoring Xu Yan's attempt to avoid it. Noticing that the skin he touched was indeed a little cold, he reached out to take off his clothes and put them on her shoulders.

"Instead of this, it would have been better not to have the baby in the first place," Xu Yan frowned.

"And your second brother, I don't think he loves Xiaobao that much. When I first heard the name Xiaobao, I thought it meant that he was the only one between your second brother and second sister-in-law. After all this time, I thought too much. Giving him this name was your second brother expressing his love to your second sister-in-law!"

"Is there any parent like this?"

"And my eldest sister-in-law, after her husband passed away, she completely ignored her child. Wasn't Dabao her child? How could she bear to give up on him?"

Xu Yan was very excited and spoke very quickly.

Xie Zhuo just listened to her quietly, without any intention of interrupting or interjecting.

It was not until Xu Yan had scolded his two uncles and two sisters-in-law one by one that he slowly stopped.

Looking at Xie Zhuo, he asked, "Where is Jing Keying?"

"Go back," Xie Zhuo said.
