Chapter 226 Tell me more
Jin Yuan did not stay long. He left before the Pei family's meal was ready.

In the era of material scarcity, food distribution was fixed. Now that food is scarce again, everyone will consciously avoid meal times when visiting friends and relatives.

Lingxi saw the man leaving, so she poked her head out to take a look. To make sure that he would not turn back, she curiously approached Pei Yanning and asked, "Why didn't Dad talk to you today?"

Pei Yanning: “…”

!!!

Gu Si, who was drinking honey water to suppress his cough, choked.

Lingxi quickly calmed Gu Si down. She didn't quite understand why they reacted so strongly. She was very curious: "She is really pregnant, huh? Whose is it?"

Gu Si coughed twice in succession. Pei Yanning came back to his senses, glanced at the spatula in his hand, then glanced at Lingxi's head. In the end, he couldn't bear to let her go, so he just stretched out his other free hand and pressed her head down.

"If you know you have a bad brain, don't talk nonsense!"

Lingxi said with a feeling of grievance.

Pei Yanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "They are a couple who love each other very much, who do you think it belongs to?"

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Her first reaction was, how did she know whose it was, and then she was surprised that they were married?

No wonder……

"I thought..." She glanced at Pei Yanning guiltily again.

Gu Si couldn't help laughing. He calmly ignored Pei Yanning's cold face, wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at Lingxi with great curiosity: "What's going on? Tell me more."

Pei Yanning: “…”

Lingxi naturally knew what her fourth brother was asking, and she felt a little guilty, but she also knew that her subconscious "memory" was probably related to the companion contract, and it must have really happened at some point in time, so she was justified.

"I don't know the details, but when I see her, I think of a girl who looks very similar to her. She's quite high-profile..."

There was a hint of mischief in her eyes when she spoke of those things. "Chasing and intercepting, public displays of affection, well, anyway, that's all..."

It was quite an ugly scene.

So, she was a little wary when she saw Jin Yuan.

but--

"She's doing fine the way she is now."

The corner of Gu Si's mouth twitched. Seeing Pei Yaning's face turned very dark, he found it a little funny.

This really seems like something Jin Yuan would do. They all know that Jin Yuan has always had a special liking for Pei Yanning's face.

And Jin Yuan...

He had heard from Zhao Jianan before that Jin Yuan and his girlfriend would often look at the stars and the moon, go to the cinema for dates, etc. Fortunately, Jin Yuan was already married when Pei Yanning showed up, otherwise it might really be like what Lingxi said, and who knows what would have happened.

but--

These are just trivial matters to Pei Yanning and Gu Si.

how to say!

When one has both status and position, this situation is actually not uncommon, not to mention that in everyone's eyes, Pei Yanning is still a young, promising and good-looking single young man.

They just exchanged a few casual words at this moment, and tacitly agreed not to continue this topic.

However, Jin Yuan's behavior today still reminded Gu Si and Pei Yanning.

They were so busy before that they had no time to talk to Lingxi in detail about the situation outside. It would be fine if it was just Jin Yuan today, but if they really met someone with sharp eyes, it would be bad if he saw Lingxi's appearance and had any suspicions.

These days, the public has sharp eyes and is very alert to catching enemy spies. Fortunately, Lingxi didn't have much contact with the outside world. During this period of time, she was pregnant, had a baby, and was in confinement. She didn't see many people, and there weren't many people who needed to make up for it.

Lingxi listened carefully, with a look of shock on her face the whole time. She felt a little dazed, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was just like that.

She could dig out all the memories in her mind.

And these preferences seemed to be somewhat different from what she subconsciously thought. Lingxi was aware of the existence of the Companion Contract and the origins of those things in her subconscious mind, so there was nothing she could not accept, and she even found it a little novel.

As time went by, the floor heating in the house kept on burning, and the kang and fireplace never stopped burning. Finally, it was ready for people to live in, and Lingxi also moved into the main house.

The house has changed a lot. Some additions and extensions have been made on the original basis. Lingxi and Gu Si's bedroom now has a small study room, there is a bathroom on the balcony, and there is also a place specially for the baby to live in.

Pei Yanning's house is similar in layout to this place. In his words, it's still unclear who will take care of the three little ones!
-
That afternoon, Lingxi and Gu Si were making dumplings. The filling was chopped by Pei Yanning at noon.

Unexpectedly, I heard the voice of little Minghui.

"Aunt, aunt, Minghui is here to see you!"

Lingxi was surprised and stuck her head out to look outside, she saw her second uncle, third uncle and eldest brother driving in two ox carts full of sorted firewood, which they were unloading into the firewood shed in the yard.

Originally, there was no shortage of firewood at home, but after the flood, everything became a scarce resource. Uncle Pei came here rarely, so he brought some firewood over.

Gu Si had already stood up and went to greet him.

As soon as Minghui was taken down from the car, he grabbed Mingyang and rushed into the yard.

Lingxi smiled instantly. She waved at Minghui and Mingyang, stood up, took out cakes and candies from the cupboard, shared them with the two children, and was about to go to Uncle Pei and the others.

She hadn't taken two steps when she heard Ming Yang's awkward voice behind her, "Thank you, aunt."

When he said this, he glanced at Lingxi secretly, but tried his best to keep a calm expression.

Lingxi paused and subconsciously turned back to respond.

Then she started laughing: "Mingyang and Minghui are playing together, I'll go take a look first."

I wonder if my second uncle and the others have eaten...

Mingyang felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the direction Lingxi left and grinned.

Mingyang felt embarrassed for a moment, and Minghui looked here and there, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"You, you, since you are so pitiful, I don't mind you. You just called me little aunt, and little aunt will, uh, give you a little bit, just a little bit."

His chubby little hand can only cover this tiny bit of space.

A smile flashed in Mingyang's eyes.

After spending some time together, Mingyang, who still understood Minghui very well, smiled.

"Okay, just a little bit. Our Minghui is so nice."

Minghui was very happy to be praised by him, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, but he still acted reluctantly and said: "It's useless for you to praise me. You can't beat me. I am still the boss of our family."

Mingyang nodded.

Yes, yes, yes, you are right!
Little Minghui tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from rising too high.

But in a flash, Minghui sighed again: "You are still too weak. You have to keep squatting, and then you will become stronger slowly. Otherwise, you will not be able to beat others when they bully you."

He started doing horse stance several years ago, and he still does it every day. When he thinks about the time when Mingyang ate, lived and did horse stance with him, and how he looked so shaky, with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead, he feels a little sympathetic.

"Okay, I'll listen to Minghui."

Minghui was even happier when he heard this.

The two kids didn't speak loudly, but everyone in the yard had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and they all looked at each other and found it a little funny.
