The group dispersed, and Lu Qinchuan, who was given a big eye roll, followed Zhou Ruoyu. Zhou Ruoyu said, "Aren't you working? Why are you following me? Are you afraid that I will go find Gu Changhong?"

Lu Qinchuan's expression changed slightly: "Let's go home."

Anyway, she had finished discussing the matter with Li Ming and was about to go home. But she knew that Lu Qinchuan had something to say, so she deliberately went to the supply and marketing cooperative to hang out. In the end, she only bought some meat and vegetables, and bought some candy for the two sisters Daya and Erya, and then walked back slowly.

"Xiaoyu," Lu Qinchuan caught up with her, "I never suspected that there was anything between you and Gu Changhong. When Xiaohua came to you yesterday, I knew there was something wrong with her."

"What can you do? She is your biological sister." Zhou Ruoyu didn't even look at him and walked forward on her own.

"I can send her back home!"

Lu Qinchuan sighed lightly. Zhou Ruoyu was right. She was his biological sister, and sending her back to her hometown was his last act of stubbornness.

Zhou Ruoyu snorted softly: "Humph, she has hands and feet, and there's a guy named Lai hooking up with her. Can you send her away?"

The two of them just bickered all the way home like an ordinary couple.

Zhou Shufen was sitting at the gate. She saw from afar Lu Qinchuan carrying meat in one hand and vegetables in the other, following Zhou Ruoyu, who had an expressionless face, with a miserable look on his face. She knew that the two of them were unhappy.

"Sister Xiaoyu," Zhou Shufen greeted from afar, "We military wives have nothing to do right now, and we're feeling pretty miserable. We're asking you for help."

Zhou Ruoyu walked closer and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"

Zhou Shufen smiled at Lu Qinchuan behind her, and then said: "It's okay, Lao Zhu is doing all the housework, and all I have left is eating and drinking. It's just a pregnancy, how can I do this."

Zhou Ruoyu understood this. Coming from modern society, she knew that threatened miscarriage was not that scary. It would be bad if one was too nervous.

She smiled and said, "Then you have to take care of yourself. You must have lost weight when you were pregnant with Daya and Erya. You should make more nourishment this time. I'll add a dish and stew some soup for you tonight."

"Where are you guys from? Captain Lu, why isn't he at work?"

Zhou Shufen was sewing a baby's jacket in her hands, her eyes moving back and forth between the two people's faces.

Lu Qinchuan said: "I happened to meet Xiaoyu on my way to work, so I pestered her to come back and make a good meal for her. I let her feed me, and I'm greedy."

As he spoke, he touched the back of his head shyly, and stretched out the meat and vegetables in his hands to show them.

Zhou Shufen's heart was half relieved: "Young people, it's normal to eat more. Then you guys should go back quickly. I'm getting sleepy basking in the sun at the door."

After returning to the kitchen, Zhou Ruoyu remained silent. She chopped the meat filling, peeled the eggplants she had bought, and cut them into thick slices in groups of two.

Lu Qinchuan didn't care about the dishes, he just followed her around, making Zhou Ruoyu's head hurt. She put her hands on her hips and said to him, "Lu Qinchuan, what are you doing?"

"I want to help you."

"Do you know what I'm going to do? If you want to help so much, then you do it, you do it." As she said that, she took off her apron and stuffed it into Lu Qinchuan's hands.

Lu Qinchuan looked at the minced meat and the eggplants on the chopping board, pricking his hands and swallowing hard: "Yes, are we going to cook them together?"

Phew, Zhou Ruoyu laughed.

It cannot be said that this man has never done housework. It is not easy to have a full meal these days. She wanted to make fried eggplant boxes, but he actually wanted to cook them together.

She grabbed the apron and tied it back around her waist, pushing him out: "Get out now, you're making me dizzy."

Lu Qinchuan walked into the yard, came to the kitchen window, lit a cigarette, and watched Zhou Ruoyu busy in an orderly manner.

"Do you think Lin Siyu is weird today?" Lu Qinchuan asked her after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Yeah." Zhou Ruoyu kept working, but replied calmly, "That camera is really something special. I just don't think he's worthy of a camera of that grade with his current qualifications."

Zhou Ruoyu raised her eyes and met Lu Qinchuan's deep eyes. She felt a chill down her spine: "I'm just guessing, I'm not sure at all."

"Without your discovery today, I really would have no clues." He held the cigarette between two slender, bony fingers, making him look particularly sexy.

Just looking at this sexy handsome man, she couldn't get excited. For the first time in her life, she smelled the scent of danger, a danger unique to this era.

Her hands, which were starching an eggplant box, paused, their trembling slightly. Lu Qinchuan walked into the kitchen, held her shoulders from behind, and whispered, "The country is in an extraordinary period right now, and enemies are everywhere. It could be you, it could be me, anyone could be an enemy of the country and the people at any time. It's right to be vigilant, but we must also know how to protect ourselves."

Zhou Ruoyu opened her eyes wide, feeling her breath turn cold: "Have I also aroused his suspicion?"

"Maybe, maybe not. What we need to do now is not to alert the enemy. Fortunately, you have given me space to search for evidence, so I can investigate quickly."

"Me? I provided the space?"

"Yeah." Lu Qinchuan stretched out his arms and hugged her slender waist from behind. "He took pictures of my wife. I have a lot of reasons."

Zhou Ruoyu didn't know much about Lu Qinchuan's methods, but now seeing that he was confident, she felt a lot calmer.

Frightened by his words just now, she actually hoped that he would accompany her in the kitchen, so the two of them cooked a meal while lingering on each other.

The crisp sound of bicycle bells came closer and closer, and Daya's cheerful laughter also reached Zhou Ruoyu's ears. When they arrived at their gate, Captain Zhu put Daya down and said, "After you finish talking to your aunt, go home for dinner."

Daya ran in with her schoolbag on her back: "Auntie, Auntie, I'm done with school."

At this time, Lu Qinchuan was still holding Zhou Ruoyu's waist. Zhou Ruoyu was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly wiped her hands with her apron awkwardly and said, "Zhu Fangling, how was your first day of school?"

Daya's face flushed with excitement. Her big, furry eyes curiously glanced at Lu Qinchuan behind Zhou Ruoyu, and she finally timidly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Lu."

Lu Qinchuan smiled slightly, revealing his neat white teeth. He turned back to the house, took out the candy he bought today, and gently placed it in Daya's palm: "This is the candy uncle bought for you. Take it back and share it with Erya."

Daya was as happy as a little sparrow, her eyes sparkling like crescent moons as she smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Lu! Today is my first day of school, and I'm the first one to learn to write my own name, so the teacher made me the class monitor. It's all thanks to Auntie's good teaching!"

Lu Qinchuan smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Wow, our Daya is amazing! Auntie will definitely be very happy to hear the news. By the way, Auntie has made a new dish. Let's try it together later. It will be a feast to celebrate your election as class monitor. How about it?"

I thought Daya would happily nod and agree, but unexpectedly the little girl pouted and frowned and said, "Humph, I don't want to be Daya! How come Uncle Lu can't even remember my name?"
