In the west wing of the front yard, at Zhao Cheng's home, a family of five was having dinner.

"Sister Pingping, why is Xu Damao suddenly so tough today? I remember he was quite afraid of Liu Haizhong before!" After Zhou Lili came back and heard Zhao Cheng telling Pingping what happened in the yard today, she asked curiously?

"It's nothing. It's mainly because Xu Damao is right. Besides, Liu Haizhong doesn't have any ability. He is just an ordinary official-worshipper. The really powerful people in this courtyard are the deaf old lady in the backyard and Yi Zhonghai in the middle courtyard!" Zhao Cheng replied with a smile.

"Oh, I thought Xu Damao had some backing!" Zhou Lili didn't ask any more questions, but continued eating.

"Brother Cheng, are you out on a mission again today?" Pingping prepared meals for Weidong and Weihong and let them eat by themselves, then turned around and asked Zhao Cheng.

"How do you know?" Zhao Cheng was curious. How did Pingping know?

"How else can you know? You reek of blood, can't you smell it?" Pingping rolled her eyes at Zhao Cheng.

After hearing Pingping's words, Weidong and Weihong didn't even raise their heads, but continued eating as if nothing had happened.

But Zhou Lili's hands trembled and she almost couldn't hold the chopsticks. She looked at Zhao Cheng in disbelief.

"Brother Cheng is injured?" Zhou Lili quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Zhao Cheng.

"Hurry up and eat. The person who can hurt Brother Cheng hasn't been born yet! Lili, boil some water after dinner so that Brother Cheng can wipe himself!" Pingping stopped Zhou Lili from making a fuss and spoke to her calmly.

"Ah? Oh, okay, I'll boil some water after we finish eating!" Zhou Lili also reacted and quickly continued to eat. After finishing one bowl, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to boil water in a big pot.

"Brother Cheng, what's going on today? The smell is never this strong when you come back usually! Why is it so serious today?" Pingping looked at the two children who were eating and asked curiously.

"Well, today we went to Changping to clear out a kidnapping den and killed one with a knife. I was too close to him at the time, so the smell on him might have gotten on me. It's okay! It's mainly because I came back in a hurry today, otherwise I would have dealt with it properly at work." Zhao Cheng said to Pingping nonchalantly.

"You, you should be more careful next time. Everyone in the yard is watching the fun today and no one is paying attention. Otherwise, they will be scared! Look, there are bloodstains on your clothes!" Pingping pointed at Zhao Cheng's shirt hanging at the door and found that there were indeed bloodstains.

"Okay, be careful next time! Try not to bring dirty things home." Zhao Cheng waved his hand and continued eating.

Zhou Lili was listening to the conversation between Zhao Cheng and the other man in the kitchen, and she had a new understanding of Pingping. Sister Pingping looked petite and delicate, so why did she speak so casually?

What's more, Director Cheng is covered in blood. It's really dangerous.

After they finished their meal, Zhao Cheng went to the ear room to clean up briefly. After that, the two children also came to the ear room to prepare for bed.

"Dad, when can you get an iron ring for me and my brother to play with? He Yuqing plays with the iron ring in the yard all day long, and I find it so interesting!" Wei Hong was lying on the kang, and Zhao Cheng was sitting on the edge of the kang to coax the two children to sleep.

"Okay, Dad will make the iron ring for you tomorrow, one for you and your brother!" Zhao Cheng agreed readily.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was 1955, and the third child of Zhao Chengjia was already over one year old and almost two years old.

In September 1955, Zhou Lili married Liu Qing, deputy chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill, under the auspices of Pingping. Liu Qing was the person with the highest position on the list provided by Xu Damao to Zhao Cheng, and he was also the person Zhou Lili admired the most.

Originally, Zhou Lili wanted to get married to Zhao Chengcheng, but unfortunately, Zhao Cheng always insisted that he would not take a concubine or find another woman, so in the end Zhou Lili agreed to Liu Qing's pursuit and married Liu Qing as Pingping's cousin.

After Zhou Lili got married, Zhao Cheng was visibly relieved. "Pingping, don't bring anyone home so easily anymore! Luckily, Zhou Lili isn't stubborn, otherwise we'd both be in trouble!" Zhao Cheng said to Pingping earnestly.

"I understand, Brother Cheng. I will definitely listen to you from now on! I will never cause any trouble for you, okay!" Pingping pinched the soft flesh on Zhao Cheng's waist in annoyance.

"Oh, you dare to pinch me? It seems that you are itching for trouble, right? Let me show you how I will teach you a lesson!" After Zhao Cheng said that, he lifted the quilt and got into Pingping's bed.

"Brother Cheng, be gentle. Weijun has just fallen asleep. Be careful not to wake him up!" Pingping looked at Zhao Cheng with a blush on her face and said softly.

"Don't worry, Weijun is snoring!" Zhao Cheng was not polite and started to teach Pingping a lesson. As time passed, Pingping's voice was a little out of control. She was afraid of waking the child, so she bit the quilt.

Just like that, an hour later, Zhao Chengcai let Pingping go after Pingping begged for mercy.

"Brother Cheng, you are so bad. You don't even let me find one for you. I can't stand you like this!" Pingping lay powerlessly in Zhao Cheng's arms, complaining to him breathlessly.

"It's okay. You'll be recovered when you wake up tomorrow. What are you afraid of? I can bear it. Just be fine!" Zhao Cheng lit a cigarette and started puffing.

"Brother Cheng, Lili is getting married and she wants us to use her house. What are you going to do?" Pingping remembered what Zhou Lili said to her before she left today, and asked quickly.

"Let's do that for now. Anyway, we don't need it for the time being. When Weihong grows up, let Weihong live in that room, and let Weidong and Weijun live in the ear room." Zhao Cheng was not so concerned about the house. It was not possible to buy a house at this time, so it would be fine as long as it was enough to live in.

"That's fine. When my daughter grows up, she should live separately from Weidong!" Pingping thought so too. Anyway, the house is under Zhou Lili's name, and no one can say anything if Weihong lives there.

The next morning, when Zhao Cheng got up, he found that Pingping had already prepared breakfast and was helping the three children serve the food and prepare to eat.

"Dad, why are you staying in bed again?" Wei Hong saw Zhao Cheng coming out of the inner room and put her hands on her waist and started to criticize Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng looked at his five-year-old daughter and felt that time had passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, his daughter had grown up so much.

"Haha, Dad is definitely not as hardworking as his daughter! That's why he got up late!" Zhao Cheng held Wei Hong and sat next to him, and let Pingping hold Wei Jun to eat.

"Dad, we are almost late for kindergarten! You should eat quickly, and then take me and my brother to kindergarten!" Wei Hong kept talking while eating.

"Okay, okay, Dad, let's eat quickly!" Zhao Cheng smiled and ate quickly.

After dinner, Pingping looked after Weijun at home while Zhao Cheng took Weidong and Weihong on a bicycle to the kindergarten.

After sending the child to school, Zhao Cheng rode his bike to work. But before he could even get comfortable at work, he received a call and was transferred to the Municipal Bureau!
