At around three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yao woke up.
She instinctively ducked around, only to find that there was no one there.
Most of Lu Yao's sleepiness dissipated.
She turned on the light, and sure enough there was no figure of Duan Mingjie on the bed.
"husband?"
No one responded.
"Duan Mingjie?"
Still no one responded.
Lu Yao knew that Duan Mingjie was out.
She quickly put on her clothes and went outside to find Zheng Weiguo.
Zheng Weiguo was a light sleeper all year round, so he heard Lu Yao knocking on the door.
"Is it Yaoyao?"
Lu Yao hummed, "It's me."
Zheng Weiguo quickly put on his clothes and said, "Come in."
Lu Yao still waited for a while before opening the door and coming in.
Zheng Weiguo turned on the light and Lu Yao walked over, "You didn't go out tonight?"
Zheng Weiguo pulled a stool for her and asked her to sit down.
"Duan Mingjie and I went on a trip. I'll be back first. He should be back soon."
Lu Yao frowned, "Are you going to teach Zhou Fuqiang a lesson?"
Zheng Weiguo rubbed her hair, "Don't worry, I won't touch Zhou Fuqiang. Duan Mingjie told me that he will handle Zhou Fuqiang's side and I won't interfere."
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and asked worriedly.
"You must not touch Zhou Fuqiang. That person is very insidious. Don't worry, I won't let him go easily."
She and Duan Mingjie can deal with Zhou Fuqiang however they want, but if Uncle Zheng takes action and is found out, Zheng Weiguo cannot afford to be accused of bullying ordinary people.
Zheng Weiguo smiled happily, "I know."
"Then where did you and Duan Mingjie go? Why hasn't Duan Mingjie come back yet?"
"After asking Zheng Qi a few words, Duan Mingjie is probably coming back soon."
While he was talking, the door outside rang, and Dahuang's joyous voice came from downstairs. This was the unique cry of Dahuang when his family came back.
Lu Yao: "He's back. I'll go down and have a look."
Seeing Lu Yao's eager look, Zheng Weiguo shook his head.
It’s true that a girl can’t help her father.
Lu Yao ran downstairs, just as Duan Mingjie was about to go upstairs.
Seeing Lu Yao coming down, he quickly quickened his pace, "Why are you coming down?"
Lu Yao hugged his waist, her voice was muffled and a little aggrieved, "I woke up when I didn't see you when I woke up. Why didn't you tell me when you were leaving?"
Duan Mingjie held her hips, picked her up, and walked upstairs.
"I went out to do some errands. Did I wake up from a fright?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "No, I woke up due to peeing."
Duan Mingjie raised his head and bit her mouth, "You are becoming less and less polite when talking in front of me, huh?"
Lu Yao pursed her lips, "As an old married couple, I can say whatever I want."
Duan Mingjie showed his affection, "Okay."
As soon as Zheng Weiguo came out, he heard the conversation between the two. After thinking about it, he went back to his room.
Walking upstairs, Lu Yao patted Duan Mingjie on the shoulder, "I woke up Uncle Zheng. I told him that we should go back to the house to sleep. You put me down first."
Duan Mingjie put her down, and the two came to Zheng Weiguo's room.
Zheng Weiguo and Duan Mingjie looked at each other, and Zheng Weiguo said, "Are you going back?"
Lu Yao didn't understand what he meant and heard Duan Mingjie reply, "I can go back."
That means I haven’t gone back yet.
Zheng Weiguo nodded, "Okay, go back to the house and sleep."
Lu Yao was confused after hearing this and returned to the house. Lu Yao followed Duan Mingjie and asked him, "What are you two talking about?"
Duan Mingjie: "I went over and took a look at Zheng Qi."
Hearing this, Lu Yao understood.
It seems that Uncle Zheng did not send Zheng Qi home.
Duan Mingjie carried her to bed, "Sleep first."
Lu Yao didn't ask any more questions. It was still early and she got into Duan Mingjie's arms and fell asleep again.
Duan Zhiwei and Duan Yanyan came to see Lu Yao after waking up, but were stopped by Duan Mingjie.
"Your aunt is fine, let her sleep a little longer."
The two children nodded. Duan Yanyan poked her head in uneasily and looked inside. Seeing that Lu Yao was sleeping soundly, she followed Duan Mingjie downstairs.
After going downstairs, Duan Mingjie found that Duan Zhiwei was in a low mood. He thought he was worried about Lu Yao, so he said, "Don't worry, you two. Your aunt is fine. She will come down to play with you when she wakes up."
Duan Zhiwei took Duan Mingjie's hand and raised his head, "Uncle, it's Qingming Festival soon."
Duan Mingjie was startled.
Duan Zhiwei looked at him longingly, "I want to visit my father's grave."
Duan Fuhai had no position when he was a soldier, and he brought the body back with him, so he was not in the cemetery.
But Duan Minghua was from the special operations force, and was the chief of staff before he died. The special operations force said when announcing his funeral that a cemetery would be placed for him in the cemetery.
Duan Mingjie knelt down and softened his voice, "I'm going to ask Brigadier Qin today if it's convenient for us to go in and visit your father's grave."
Duan Zhiwei nodded repeatedly, "Third uncle, tell Brigadier Qin that my sister and I are very well-behaved. We won't make any noise. We will come back after sweeping Dad's grave."
Duan Mingjie choked, "Okay, I will definitely take you to visit dad's grave."
Duan Zhiwei nodded heavily.
As soon as Duan Zhiwei left, Duan Mingjie saw Gu Fulan standing next to him with red eyes.
"mother."
Gu Fulan walked towards him, "Lao San, can we really go?"
Duan Mingjie nodded.
"Mom, don't worry, you can definitely go. If you didn't visit your eldest brother's grave before, you weren't in the capital. Now that we are here, we will definitely visit your eldest brother's grave."
Gu Fulan: "Me, can I go too?"
"I will talk to Brigadier Qin carefully. If there is a limit on the number of people, you can go with your two children."
Gu Fulan nodded, "Okay."
This was Zheng Weiguo's first time having breakfast at home, and Gu Fulan specially cooked two more dishes.
"My dear, try my cooking. If you like it, you can eat it at home in the future."
Zheng Weiguo: "Sister-in-law, it's very delicious."
Gu Fulan smiled and said, "As long as it tastes good, you will live at home from now on. Yaoyao will be happy when she cleans the room for you."
Zheng Weiguo looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was busy eating.
Zheng Weiguo curled his lips and said, "I'll come live here when I have time."
"Okay, okay!"
Just after breakfast, Xia Zhenhua walked into the courtyard and asked, "Is this classmate Lu Yao's home?"
Lu Yao turned around and saw Duan Mingjie getting up and going out, and saw Xia Zhenhua.
When he saw Duan Mingjie, Xia Zhenhua knew he was in the right place. His hands were covered with gifts, "Comrade Duan Mingjie, right? Hello, I'm here to see classmate Lu Yao."
Duan Mingjie looked at the gift in his hand and said coldly, "My wife doesn't need you to come and see her. Please come back."
How could Xia Zhenhua leave, especially after seeing Zheng Weiguo in the living room, he was about to enter the house with his things.
"Chief Zheng is here too."
Duan Mingjie stretched out his hand to stop him, preventing him from entering.
Zheng Weiguo wiped his mouth and said in a light voice, "Mingjie, let him in."
Duan Mingjie glanced at Xia Zhenhua, then stood aside to let him in.
Xia Zhenhua carried things into the house and put a lot of gifts on the ground. He was really surprised when he saw Lu Yao.
