"Have those two people left?" Lu Zhi asked in a low voice.

"They're gone... Xu Aiyong ran away on his bike, and we don't know where Xu Guifen went. We need to speed up." Qiu Yiran replied in a low voice. She couldn't help but start complaining angrily, "What kind of love is this? Xu Guifen is like a lunatic... The man is also a scumbag. He cheated on his wife before the child was even a little old. We have completed so many tasks for them in vain. If I remember correctly, you will be fired if you have problems with your lifestyle in this era, right?"

Qiu Yiran and his group were teleported to the rooftop. When they saw the couple leaving home, they began to complain.

"Where is Zhang Chunliang? Wasn't he teleported here?" Hou Kecen asked.

Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Chunliang was missing.

But soon they were startled by the crying of a baby. They looked at each other, jumped off the beams, and walked towards the house where the sound came from.

Zhang Chunliang, who was being talked about by them, was standing stiffly at the door with one foot already out of the house. When he saw them coming, he immediately looked at them for help.

Everyone was very confused and couldn't help but look into the room - a baby in swaddling clothes, less than one year old, was crying uncontrollably on the bed.

"You made her cry?" Li Zhuang looked at Zhang Chunliang suspiciously.

"Strictly speaking, that's right." Zhang Chunliang calmly took a step back and returned to the house. Suddenly, the baby's crying stopped and it began to hum again to attract his attention.

"Are you hungry?" Wang Er walked forward and looked at the fair and cute baby in the cradle with curiosity, with a bit of fondness in his eyes.

"It's amazing. Xu Guifen looks so ordinary, even a little ugly, but she gave birth to such a cute child." Li Zhuang also came over and commented.

"She looks very ordinary, but her husband is handsome and has good temperament. He is also a regular worker in the fireworks factory and can only come home once a week. Xu Guifen's suspicion arose under such circumstances. However, anyone in her position would probably feel bad." Wang Er is a woman who has experienced marriage, and she and Xu Guifen can empathize with each other.

"I want to find some milk powder for him." Qiu Yiran's heart almost melted and he completely forgot about his mission.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the gate of the yard.

Everyone's face changed. They had never expected the master to come back so quickly. The yard was too small and it was too late to go out, so they hurriedly found a place to hide in the house.

A moment later, Xu Guifen came in hurriedly, holding a handful of muddy green onions in her hand, looking alert and suspicious.

With the help of Li Zhuang, Zhang Chunliang jumped onto the beam, and the angle he was lying on was just right for Xu Er's face. Little Xu Er looked up at him without blinking, and when he saw Zhang Chunliang looking at him, he suddenly pursed his lips, revealing his dimples, which was very sweet, and then he stretched out his little hand to him as if he was picking stars.

"Were you the one who screamed just now? You're calling the God of Plague! What a jerk!" Xu Guifen yelled without warning and smashed the muddy onion hard on Xu Er's little face.

Little Xu Er groaned a few times and put his little hands to his face, trying to pick the onions off his face.

Xu Guifen's chest was heaving violently, and she was shaking with anger. She had just gone to the field next to the house to pick a few shallots when she heard a child crying in the house. At that moment, she was so angry that she almost fainted. For no apparent reason, she felt a strong rage in her heart.

——She worked so hard at home every day just to help Xu Aiyong raise their only child, but this man betrayed her and found a woman in the city. Why? !

Although someone had only spread a few rumors to her, she had already accepted this fact in her heart, not to mention... today, she also discovered something on Xu Aiyong that she absolutely could not tolerate.

Little Xu Er was still trying to pull the green onions off his face when a huge force grabbed his swaddling clothes and threw him into the yard without any resistance.

"Don't you like crying?" Xu Guifen stared at the dusty little swaddling clothes on the muddy ground, and she felt a little relieved. "Cry a few times, and it would be best if you could cry your heartless father back!"

But Xu Er did not make another cry. He squirmed in his cradle, trying to crawl back to the house he had just been thrown out of.

Xu Guifen was too lazy to care about him. She went into the house, picked up the green onions, and ran to the stove to work. She was going to make some scallion pancakes with white flour today. She was no longer going to save flour for the heartless father and son. Today she was going to eat her fill.

About an hour later, Xu Guifen woke up and finished making the dough, and was frying some oily pancakes. The grandfather clock in the main room rang loudly, and she realized that it was already eleven o'clock.

So Xu Guifen looked into the yard with a bit of guilt, and saw Xu Er's little baby was dragging a trail of dirt and was almost crawling into the house.

She wiped her hands, walked over, pulled the little guy up from the ground, patted the mud off his body without any effort, and then threw him on the bed.

Little Xu Er groaned, not caring about the pain, and looked up at the beam impatiently, but it was empty and there was no one there.

A crisp "ding-ling" sound was heard outside the house. Xu Aiyong got off his bicycle and walked into the yard, looking tired.

"Why are there muddy paths all over the ground?" Xu Aiyong looked at the marks on the ground and asked Xu Guifen who was walking out the door.

Xu Guifen looked at Xu Aiyong from head to toe with a cold face. She did not answer his question but asked, "Where have you been?"

Xu Aiyong took a piece of oil paper from his bicycle and said, "I went to the next village. The cakes made by Mr. Wu there are delicious. I exchanged them for two bags."

Xu Aiyong remembered that Xu Guifen loved mung bean cake the most, so he used a week's wages to buy her a big bag of it.

The woman did not smile in surprise as he wished, but stared at the package of cakes and asked, "Aren't there two packages? Where is the other one?"

Xu Aiyong was holding the paper bag in his hand for a moment, then slowly lowered it: "The child is going to be registered, and we are all rough people, so we can't come up with a good name. I also want to take the child to the city to study in the future, so I want to give some snacks to people and ask them to give the child a good name."

"Who did you find?" Xu Guifen pressed, and suddenly sneered, "You didn't find a female scholar, did you? Female scholars are not good at naming, did you buy her mung bean cakes?"

Xu Aiyong took a deep breath and said almost powerlessly, "Gui Fen, I really didn't do you any wrong. I have never met that female comrade in the factory in private, and I don't know why her photo and diary appeared in my cloth bag."

"You haven't met her in private, but you still gave her cakes, right?" Xu Guifen pressed on, her hands shaking. "I won't eat it. You can give this bag to her too, and let her choose a name for your future baby..."

"It's not her!" Xu Aiyong suddenly shouted angrily, "It's Xiaoping! Xiaoping got promoted! He asked someone to send me a letter, saying that he wants to visit our house! I know he is a college student and well-educated, so I left him a bag of cakes and asked him to help us name our baby!"

Xu Guifen was stunned for a moment, then yelled in a louder voice than him: "Just talk, why are you yelling at me? Do I owe you the Xu family?! I worked so hard all morning taking care of the kids and making pancakes! You come back and yell at me! Xu Aiyong, you have no conscience!"

Xu Aiyong's anger subsided immediately, and he asked pleadingly, "...Gui Fen, let's stop arguing and have dinner, okay?"

Xu Guifen's eyes were red, and she stared at Xu Aiyong while gasping for breath.

Xu Aiyong's eyes were red, and he wiped his face with his dirty sleeve. He could only take a break once a week, and he didn't have time to change his dirty work clothes, so he just went to buy cakes.

At seven o'clock this afternoon, he had to take the only bus in town to go back to the fireworks factory, and he didn't want to quarrel with his wife.

"Eat! You two will eat to death!" Xu Guifen cursed while choking with sobs. She went into the house and found two clean clothes, and gave them to Xu Aiyong for him to change into.

He took Xu Aiyong's dirty clothes, drew water from the well, and started washing them without saying a word.

The pancakes she baked in the pan were still hot with the lid on. After working for a whole morning, Xu Guifen was willing to tear off a small piece and put it in her mouth to taste it. The white flour and scallion pancakes were soft and sweet, and they were neatly arranged. They looked much more fragrant than the mung bean cakes.

"These two people are so weird." Qiu Yiran used an invisibility prop to hide next to the closet in the main room. She searched the house for a while, but could not find any evidence of Xu Aiyong's cheating.

The couple is now one doing laundry while the other plays with the child and waits for his wife to have dinner together. No one else is coming into the room for the time being.

"I'm now beginning to doubt whether Xu Aiyong has cheated on me." Li Zhuang tiptoed to open a drawer and took out everything inside.

"Marriage is a mess." Wang Er replied with a smile and turned to look at Zhang Chunliang.

He was squatting in front of Xu Aiyong's cloth bag, motionless.

"Have you found anything?" Wang Er seemed to have realized something and called everyone to gather around.

Zhang Chunliang is flipping through a diary at this moment.

There was a black-and-white photo pasted in the diary. The girl in the photo had two shiny braids and was dressed very fashionably. She looked like a spoiled city girl.

She smiled brightly and looked at the person outside the photo lovingly, as if expressing her girlish thoughts.

"Damn." Lu Zhi sighed softly.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because the girl in the photo was Yingzi, who had been leading them to experience the love story of Xu Aiyong and Xu Guifen during this period.

Zhang Chunliang put down the photo and silently flipped through the diary.

The beautiful and neat handwriting filled the entire small leather-bound diary.

The first sentence in the opening is -

Comrade Xu Aiyong, I am Liu Yingzi, a regular worker in the workshop next to yours. I would like to express my warm feelings to you here sincerely.

If possible, I would like to spend my life with you.
