Lou Luhui waited in the study for about half an hour before his father came.
He didn't rush to tell Tiantian about his discovery, but handed the brewed tea to his father and asked, "How is Mom?"
Worried that his wife might have wild thoughts, Lou Zhan didn't show anything in front of her, but he didn't hide his emotions in front of his son. He drank a cup of tea and said coldly, "I was scared, but he's already asleep. Tell me in detail what happened today? Did you find anything?"
"Yes, I have doubts." Then, Lou Luhui told his father what happened to Jiang today and his wife's discovery.
Even though Lou Zhan had long since stopped showing his emotions over the years, his face still turned terrifyingly dark when he heard that the dagger was pointed at his grandson.
After his son finished speaking, he picked up the slightly cool tea and drank it again in one gulp. He barely suppressed the anger in his chest and then calmed down to think.
After a while, he frowned and said, "Are you suspecting that the person who repeatedly attacked me is targeting the male children in my family and wants to make me childless?"
Lou Lu nodded: "Yes, he was targeting me before. Maybe he felt that he had failed after three attempts, so he wanted to hurt Beibei to achieve the same goal."
This time, Lou Zhan was not angry, but his mind was calmer. He pondered for a moment before saying, "You mean, this person who resented me, his offspring or family has died because of me?"
"Yes, the person who died or was seriously injured in the other party's family is likely to be the only male."
"Impossible. Your father has never done anything against conscience in his life." Lou Zhan still had some confidence in this.
Lou Luhui naturally believed in his father's character, but "Dad, we can't rule out the possibility that the other party took revenge because of misunderstanding or extreme temper. Moreover, there is another possibility."
Although Lou Zhan’s current success is due to the fact that heroes are made by the times, it is also closely related to his own cunning.
He quickly understood what his son meant: "You mean the family of the fallen soldier?"
He said this with great difficulty and he felt very heavy about it. Obviously, this was the reason he was most unwilling to accept.
Over the years, Lou Zhan was able to climb from a small soldier to his current position not by luck or background, but by fighting for his life time and time again.
Especially in the early years, there were many wars, and going to the battlefield with your life on the line was no joke.
No one knew whether he could come back alive. To be unlucky, he had written a small box of suicide notes over the years. It was really hard and dangerous at that time.
Although he could guarantee that he had never done anything that would go against his conscience, it was not uncommon for people in the team to sacrifice their lives when they were carrying out some missions in the early years.
Later, as he grew older and held a higher position, he gradually took charge of the rear areas.
Although he rarely appeared on the front line of the battlefield, he served as the commander-in-chief many times.
Casualties on the battlefield are a painful thing that no country can avoid.
Those people are all great heroes who serve the country and the people.
Because of their existence, we have the peace we have today.
"Dad, don't feel bad. This is just my guess." Seeing a sad look on his father's face, Lou Luhui, who is also a soldier, felt bad too.
Lou Zhan shook his head: "It's not that I feel bad, I still say the same thing, on the battlefield, your father has never done anything to let down his comrades, but I can't control the family members' desire for revenge."
Having said this, he became angry again.
In Lou Zhan's opinion, one should take revenge when there is a grievance, and take revenge when there is a grudge. Since he thinks it is his problem, then just go after him. What kind of hero is that if he goes after his son or even grandson
Especially since Beibei is just two years old, it is simply insane.
From this point of view, the person behind the scenes is obviously crazy!
Paranoid to the point of being crazy!
"Dad, I think it might be directed at me, too."
Knowing that his son was trying to comfort him, Lou Zhan was not so weak that he could not bear such a blow. He waved his hand and said, "It wasn't you. When he attacked you for the first time, you had just been assigned to the company not long ago and had never carried out any dangerous missions. There were no casualties around you, so you must have come for me."
At this point, Lou Zhan has adjusted his mood and continued to analyze: "This person is of high status, or he has helpers who are close to me and can always understand my situation and your movements. He even knows about your sterilization, otherwise he would not target Beibei."
But sterilization is more difficult to check.
Because he and his wife did not deliberately hide the truth from others, whenever others asked them when they would have another grandchild, the couple would explain that they would only have two children in the family.
After listening to his father's analysis, Lou Luhui added: "Compared to the previous failure to find evidence, this time, the other party is obviously anxious. Either something uncontrollable happened in his family, forcing him to take the risk, or..."
"Or maybe he's in poor health and is afraid that he won't be able to live to see me die without any children or grandchildren." Lou Zhan continued his son's words, his tone cold and certain.
"That's right. So, the scope has been narrowed down a lot. I have a feeling that we still won't get anything useful from the bad guy today, but the guy behind this won't be able to hide for long."
Hearing this, Lou Zhan snorted coldly and stood up: "No matter if I can get useful information or not, I will go there in person."
Lou Luhui immediately followed: "I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Lou Zhan hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: "Okay."
“.”
Tian Mi was awakened by being suffocated.
She opened her eyes dazedly and saw that the two children had woken up at some point. They were lying on her chest, one on each side, and their little faces were buried in her neck.
With the height genes from both parents, the two children are already taller than other children of the same age even though they are only 2 years old.
In addition, she ate well, and her weight soared by 30 kilograms. The two little ones equaled 60 kilograms. She didn't suffocate from the weight, which showed that she had good physical fitness.
Tian Mi came to her senses and pretended to be weak: "It's over, Mommy is going to be crushed into a pancake by these two little pigs."
Hearing this, the two little ones who were lying on their mother's neck and whispering to each other giggled at the same time.
"Mom! Are you awake?" Beibei moved his little body down and sat on the bed with his chubby legs crossed.
"Mom, Zhuzhu is hungry." Zhuzhu has been more clingy than her brother since she was young, and she loves to act coquettishly. Not only did she not follow her brother's example and get off her mother's body, she also pouted her little mouth and gave her mother a series of kisses.
Tian Mi sat up with her arms around the child, wiped the saliva from her daughter's mouth, and was just about to say that the way the little ones woke people up was really special.
Then the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
It’s Huihui!
She didn't rush to ask anything, but smiled brightly: "You're back?"
Beibei and Zhenzhu also got up and stretched out their arms with a smile: "Daddy is back!"
Seeing the big and two small ones smiling at him, Lou Luhui's heart suddenly softened and he couldn't help but smile too.
He strode to the bedside, bent over habitually and kissed his wife on the lips, then picked up the children who rushed over and shook them: "Do you miss your daddy?"
"Yes!"
"I miss daddy so much!"
Lou Luhui suppressed his laughter and asked seriously, "Where did you come up with that idea?"
Beibei no longer likes playing this kind of childish game with his father, so he just hugs his neck and leans his little face against him in dependence.
Little Pearl enjoyed it very much and patted her chest with her little hands: "Thinking about it here!"
"I thought about it in my heart! How much do you think about it?"
Pearl became even more excited, stretching her arms as wide as possible and drawing a circle with great effort and practice: "Is that what I want to do?"
Tian Mi got out of bed and put on her shoes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Aren't you two bored? Ever since my daughter learned to talk, she's been asking me this question every few days. I'm convinced."
Hearing his wife's words, Lou Luhui shook his daughter and smiled smugly: "Mom must be jealous."
Tian Mi, who was combing her hair, rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Hurry up and take your precious daughter and son to the bathroom, and then go find something to eat. They are hungry."
Lou Lu nodded: "I am hungry now. You should come down quickly too. It is time for dinner."
"Ah? Have they had dinner?" Tian Mi was surprised. She was just accompanying the children before, but she didn't expect that they would fall asleep with them in the end.
The curtains were drawn in the room, and her husband had to take her watch out for repair because it had fallen into the water. She had no concept of time and was completely confused.
Tian Mi pulled open the curtains, looked out the window at the sky with only a few wisps of red clouds, and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost six o'clock."
No wonder the children were hungry. I never thought that they slept for almost four hours.
Suddenly, Tian Mi no longer cared about how to take care of her hair. She just twisted her hair a few times and put it all on top of her head. Then she rubbed her face, took Bei Bei from her husband's arms, and went downstairs together.
After going downstairs, the whole family was waiting for them.
Not to mention that their daughter-in-law and grandson were frightened today, even on weekdays, Lou Zhan and Zhong Yuxiu were not the kind of people who were harsh.
Lou Zhan smiled graciously at his daughter-in-law, then extended his hand to his granddaughter: "It's okay, we're not that particular as a family."
Zhong Yuxiu also stood up and came to her daughter-in-law to take her grandson. She said to her daughter-in-law, "Why are you so awkward all of a sudden? Can I ask you what you were doing in the room?"
It was just a joke, and no one took it seriously. But little Pearl hugged her grandmother's neck and suddenly said in a baby voice: "Daddy and Mommy are kissing in the room, delaying things. Pearl is hungry!"
People
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Even though Tian Mi claimed to be thick-skinned, he could not withstand the innocent words of his daughter. With a bang, his whole body was burned from his heels to the top of his head.
She swore that the level of embarrassment she was feeling now was like when she was walking on the street, attracting countless people's attention, and just when she felt that she was very beautiful, a little cutie appeared and kindly reminded her that the zipper of her pants had slipped down.
real!
This is not an exaggeration at all!
This is the fucking seventies.
Not only are there the parents-in-law, but also Mr. Cheng, a 19-year-old ignorant sister, and, oh, a male vixen.
Thanks to Aunt Gu in the kitchen!
"Ahem, cough, cough, dear, grandma bought you an egg cake, do you want to eat it?" The dead silence lasted for no apparent amount of time. Finally, Ms. Zhong held back her laughter to come to the rescue of her daughter-in-law whose face had turned red.
Even though she never gave her child snacks before meals before, she decided to let her have a couple of bites to divert her attention.
Although her mother-in-law considerately helped her out, Tian Mi still had the urge to abandon the little girl.
This baby is no longer wanted, whoever wants can pick him up!
Everyone is a fraud at their fathers, but she is different. She is a professional at fraud at her mother.
It’s so infuriating!
As if he could see what his wife was thinking, Lou Luhui quickly pulled them to sit down, and diligently helped them to serve more dishes and rice. After all, it was still his fault, so didn't he have to be careful
During dinner.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention little Pearl's innocent words, nor did they talk about the incident of falling into the water.
What they talked about more was Tian Xin, the old man, and Wang Linkun returning to the island the day after tomorrow.
By the way, I am planning what gifts to bring back for my elder sister and her family.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and after dinner they didn't go back to their rooms immediately. Instead, they all sat on the sofa in the living room to watch TV and chat together.
As they chatted, Zhong Yuxiu finally began to think about becoming a matchmaker.
Perhaps he was too optimistic about these two children, or perhaps he was just getting older, and he suddenly became interested in being a matchmaker and bringing together good marriages. Or perhaps he was moved by Lin Kun's kindness and wanted to protect him despite the unhealed injury on his shoulder.
Of course, Ms. Zhong was very measured in her words. After some preparation, she began to praise Wang Linkun's merits from childhood to adulthood in a casual conversation.
She is not just bragging with blatant eyes, the most important thing is that she is an outstanding person.
So when he starts praising me now, he can't stop.
In the end, it was Wang Linkun, the person involved, who felt a little embarrassed.
Just as he was considering whether to say something to interrupt, he heard Aunt Xiu casually ask the obedient little girl beside him: "Xinxin, do you think what Aunt said is right? Is Lin Kun a particularly outstanding child?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes cast a subtle glance at the confused little girl.
Especially Wang Linkun, although he didn't show it on his face, he was nervous.
Tian Xin scratched her face and thought that Deputy Captain Wang was naturally excellent. This was something everyone knew. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people who wanted to date him when they were in the hospital.
But why ask her? She really doesn't know how to compliment people.
Thinking of this, the little girl subconsciously looked at the man opposite her.
Unexpectedly, the other person was also looking at her, as if waiting for an answer. This realization made Tian Xin even more at a loss.
She twisted her fingers together and said, "Yes, it's excellent."
Zhong Yuxiu noticed the tension of the two children and immediately wanted to tease them: "Really? Then what do you think is Lin Kun's excellence?"
Tian Xin didn't realize at all that she was being played a trick by her elders, and she really started to think about it honestly.
But it took me a while to realize that all the advantages I could think of had already been mentioned by my aunt.
If she said so, it seemed a little inappropriate
Thinking of this, Tian Xin raised her eyes and looked at the person opposite again, not wanting to meet a familiar pair of eyes again.
For a moment, she inexplicably had a strange illusion.
The illusion that the other person is always staring at you.
Of course, it really was just a moment.
Tian Xin quickly pulled her mind back to where it had strayed, and at the same time she also remembered the color of Deputy Captain Wang's skin that was revealed when he took off his clothes.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised very seriously: "He is very white!"
What
I never expected the little girl to give such an answer.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Zhong Yuxiu was the first to laugh, and while laughing she did not forget to glance at Lin Kun, who had a stiff smile.
Not to mention, this child took after Mei Zi and has had fair skin since he was a child.
But, these days, praising a man for being white is not a nice thing to say.
There's even a suspicion of calling him a gigolo, right
Thinking of this, everyone ignored Wang Linkun's embarrassment and laughed even louder.
Only Tian Xin followed up with a sentence without knowing why: "My second sister said that a white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness."
Everyone laughed and said, "Stop talking, the more you explain, the worse it gets."
night.
Worried that the children would have nightmares at night, the twins slept in the same bed with the adults at night.
The bed at home is not as big as the kang bed on the island. It is only 1.8 meters wide. A family of four squeezed together inevitably feels constrained.
But the children had no such concept and were happily jumping around on the bed.
In addition, they slept more in the afternoon and were very energetic. They were noisy until about 11 o'clock in the evening before I coaxed the little ancestors to sleep.
For fear of crushing the child, Lou Luhui slept in the middle.
After he tucked the children in, he hugged his wife tiredly and said with emotion: "Fortunately, we only have two children. If we had more, it would be crazy."
Tian Mi patted her husband's back soothingly, with a sympathetic look on her face: "That's right, those who have more than ten or eight children are too capable. Even if the older ones take care of the younger ones, it's still difficult."
As soon as the words fell, for some reason, the couple's minds simultaneously flashed with the image of a group of noisy children crawling all over the body, and they shuddered immediately.
No, I have to give you a kiss to calm you down.
They were worried that the child would suddenly wake up and say something careless, and then both the couple would lose face.
So in the end, the two of them really just kissed each other and didn't dare to do anything bad.
Of course, there were many questions about Tian Mi's follow-up to her husband's afternoon outing. She adjusted herself to a comfortable position and asked lazily, "Have you and Dad found out who was behind this?"
Lou Lu took a few breaths before replying, "That man had a terminal illness. The doctor said he wouldn't live more than two months. He wanted to leave some money for his family, so he killed him."
Hiring a killer to kill someone? Tian Mi's first reaction was to frown: "So, he let someone escape again?"
This time, Lou Luhui was very confident. He stroked his wife's back and said with certainty, "No, we couldn't find any clues before because we had no clue at all. Now, my father and I have locked on a few targets. We will be able to find the person behind the scenes in two months at most."
