"What's going on? It's so noisy in the middle of the night." As he said this, he looked outside.

As soon as I got out, a dog jumped down: "Woof woof woof!"

Suddenly, the man was so scared that he took two steps back.

Shen Wu shouted, "Dahei!"

Dahei hadn't seen Shen Wu for a long time. When he heard her voice, he ran over with his tail wagging.

Shen Wu smiled and said, "Someone is visiting our house. This dog is ignorant. I kept it as a guard in the countryside. It likes to bite people."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately hid back again, looked at the cart, and was curious about what was inside, so he stood on tiptoe to look inside.

Lu Xuan got out of the car, holding a wooden cage, and said to the curious people: "There are dogs following this car. The road is not safe. These dogs have seen blood and are very good at catching thieves. It's okay to watch from a distance, but if you get too close, you will be bitten and I will not be responsible."

The people who originally wanted to go forward did not dare to move forward when they saw the dogs standing around the car as tall as half a person.

Lu Xuan put down the wooden cage and picked up things from the car. Since there were people here, it was obviously impossible to unload the goods at this time, so he called out to Master Li to come down and have a rest.

Shen Wu was also surprised that both Dahei and Xiaoju were brought here. Dahei was fine, but Xiaoju's journey had not been easy and she didn't adapt as well as Dahei to the strange place. Shen Wu first put her in the full bedroom and got her some food and water.

There is no cat litter available for cats nowadays, so I just got some soil from the yard.

After settling the cat, Master Li sat in the living room. Lu Xuan was chatting with Master Li, while Lu Ye and Xu Yin were busy in the kitchen.

Xu Yin was making the fire and Lu Ye was cooking, both of them were busy and confused.

However, the two of them cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. Shen Wu originally wanted to help, but she saw the redness under Lu Ye's neck and then looked at Xu Yin, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Shen Wu felt that her presence in the kitchen was disturbing the two of them, so she simply decided not to help.

Come out and talk to Master Li.

Look around you from time to time.

A truck came in the middle of the night, and everyone who heard the noise was curious. But looking at the two dogs tied at the door and the other tied to the car, especially the one tied to the car, which was drooling, it was horrifying.

No one dared to come forward to see if they were unloading anything. But after a while, the smell of food wafted from next door. Everyone was growling with hunger and simply went inside: "Go to sleep. We have to go to work tomorrow."

I made several bowls of noodles, and there was an egg in everyone's bowl.

After eating, I saw that there was no one around, so I quietly unloaded the goods.

Shen Wu paid the money to Master Li. It was impossible to let others help her for free when doing business. Only with compensation could the business last. If they helped for free, there was no guarantee that they would not feel resentful.

If she can make money, she can go far.

This time Master Li did not refuse and left quickly.

Lu Xuan went to wash up, while Shen Wu, Lu Ye and Xu Yin took out the clothes from the snakeskin bag and checked them one by one: "We have to iron them tomorrow."

Shen Wu looked at some men's clothes made of dark-colored fabrics and threads. There were not many men's clothes, only two in total, and the rest were women's clothes, with more styles.

Shen Wu said, "Lu Ye, put on these two pieces of clothing tomorrow, go to the photo studio, take two photos, and ask the boss to develop two more."

Lu Ye looked at Shen Wu with a strange look: "Third sister-in-law, why do you want me to take pictures?"

Shen Wu rolled her eyes: "Let your wife tell you."

Xu Yin knew that Shen Wu wanted to use Lu Ye as a model, so she gave him a brief explanation.

Shen Wu added: "Giving you money is considered work."

Suddenly, Lu Ye's eyes lit up. No one was more eager to make money than him now: "Third sister-in-law, are you sure you'll pay me for taking the photos?"

Shen Wu said: "Sure."

It was late at night and everyone was tired. After Lu Xuan finished washing up, no one talked about the clothes anymore. Anyway, tomorrow was Sunday, so they could talk about it then.

Lu Ye and Xu Yin returned to the house.

Shen Wu stared at Lu Xuan and suddenly smiled: "You've lost weight."

Lu Xuan took her hand and walked into the bedroom. Just as he closed the door and was about to kiss her, Shen Wu saw the dazed girl crawling out of bed and hurriedly pushed Lu Xuan away.

He lowered his voice and said, "Your daughter is awake."

Lu Xuan suddenly woke up, turned his head and looked towards the bed, and saw Lu Xuan: "Dad!"

Then he stood up in a daze and said, "Dad, I miss you."

Shen Wu thought about how the little girl said before going to bed that she didn't want her father to come back. Now that she saw people, she thought about it again and shook her head. There was nothing she could do about her.

However, as her mother, she had to keep secret what the little girl said before going to bed.

Manman really missed her father, so she pulled Shen Wu and Lu Xuan to bed, and she lay in the middle, patting Shen Wu's quilt: "Mom, go to sleep, you're sleepy."

Then he patted the quilt on Lu Xuan's side and said, "Dad, go to sleep too."

Then he closed his eyes.

Shen Wu and Lu Xuan looked at each other. Even if they had a lot on their mind, there was nothing they could do as they had a daughter in the middle.

Lu Xuan turned off the lights.

He reached out and held Shen Wu's hand, rubbing it gently: "Did you miss me?"

Shen Wu responded softly: "Yeah."

"Well, did you think about it or not?"

With the child in the middle, Lu Xuan's voice was not loud, but it swept across Shen Wu's heart like a feather.

The strength of holding her hand couldn't help but become a little stronger.

Shen Wu said: "I miss you."

In the quiet night, Lu Xuan chuckled twice, his heart filled with satisfaction.

*

The next day was Sunday, and neither she nor Xu Yin had classes. She didn’t know if it was because the handsome man had just returned, but Xu Yin now woke up later than her every day.

Shen Wu got up to feed the cat and dog.

Dahei was guarding the yard last night.

As soon as Shen Wu came out, someone next door came out. He passed by the door and saw her and called out, "Is the car leaving? Aren't you staying here for a few days?"

His eyes were full of curiosity.

Shen Wu smiled and said, "The car belongs to the factory in my hometown. I want to let the old man live here for a while, but I have to work."

Shen Wu did not name the old man.

Those who inquired about it mistook him for her father-in-law.

I went to work at the factory with my neighbor. As we walked a little further, I couldn't help but talk about it: "This house originally belonged to a rich family. The factory wanted to use it as employee housing, but they didn't give it to us."

"I heard that the family has returned from the countryside and returned all the previous properties. This house was sold to the family just now. I heard that they are students of Z University. They look rich and bought the house as soon as they were told to."

Shen Wu fed the dog, and Xu Yin also started yawning.

Shen Wu looked at her and said, "Don't overindulge yourself, or you'll have kidney deficiency."

Xu Yin...

After a while, he lowered his voice and whispered in Shen Wu's ear: "Are you unsatisfied?"

Shen Wu...

"How about I take Manman to sleep tonight?" Xu Yin said.

Shen Wu immediately smiled.

Xu Yin suddenly smiled: "You wish—"
