After Yan Lixia came back, she lived with the children in Mrs. Si's house.

When she heard the noise, she quickly got up, her little heart beating inexplicably...

outside the house.

Mrs. Si smiled so much that her crow's feet bloomed into albizia flowers, and warned:

"Honghong, hurry up, get ready to make rice!"

"Hey, okay, Mom!" Wan Hong came out of her room and was tying her apron:

"Si Chen is back?"

"Grandma, Aunt Hong, I'm back." Si Chen looked cheerful.

Sisters Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao ran out together:

"Brother, you are finally back!"

"Brother Sichen, you are finally back,"

"Little girl, just arrange it for me!" Si Chen scolded with a smile, pointed at the tractor behind him, and said:

"There are a lot of fruits in the bucket. Go quickly and pick them all up."

"okay!"

The two girls each picked up a bamboo basket and went to pick melons and fruits from the bucket.

"Oh my God! Brother Sichen, did you go to Zhaojiayuan to sell fruits?"

Si Xiaoxiao had an exaggerated expression, climbed up directly, squatted in the bucket and handed Si Letian a big watermelon:

"Letian, look, this watermelon must be ten pounds, right?"

Mrs. Si also came over carrying a big basket and said:

"Xiaoxiao, pick up what you like to eat and take it back to your parents to try too."

"Really? Thank you grandma!"

Mrs. Si lowered her head to pick up the peaches, but did not forget to tell her:

"Si Chen, Li Xia and the children are afraid of catching a cold, so don't go in yet. You'll be covered in air conditioning."

These days, in Yuanmeng County, which is located at a high latitude, the climate is still quite cool, even in summer.

There is a big temperature difference between morning and night, or on rainy days.

The hottest temperature in summer will not exceed 30℃, and the temperature will drop to about 20℃ on rainy days, such as now.

This will not be the case in future generations, with global warming, car exhaust, air-conditioning emissions, steel and concrete high-rise buildings rising one after another... and so on.

Due to the combination of factors, summer in the north will never return to 20°C at night.

Even 25℃ is a luxury.

Yan Lixia, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, bit her lip anxiously when she heard that her grandma wouldn't let Si Chen in.

She was in confinement, and Mrs. Si wouldn't let her go out except to go to the toilet.

However, she really wanted to see Si Chen...

"Hey, hey, I got it, grandma."

Si Chen promised, but when grandma wasn't paying attention, he ducked and entered the house.

Suddenly——

A delicate body with a warm and fragrant soft jade crashed into Si Chen's arms.

"ah--"

Yan Lixia exclaimed softly.

Si Chen reacted quickly and held the person in his arms.

so close!

Almost knocked someone down.

He was glancing at his grandma behind him, and he walked through the door so fast that he never expected that there would be a person standing inside the door!

The daughter-in-law whom he thought about day and night was held in his arms.

His breath was filled with the sweet fragrance of milk. Si Chen was so happy that he couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you standing at the door?"

That voice, deep and pleasant, penetrated into Yan Lixia's ears.

It made her little heart beat wildly!

"Wait for you……"

He replied in a small voice, shy and coquettish.

Si Chen is even happier!

He tightened his arms, hugged her tightly, and teased her:

"A little goodbye is better than a wedding. You miss me, don't you?"

I originally thought that Yan Lixia would be embarrassed and then tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, she slowly raised her arms, tightened them around his waist little by little, and whispered:

"Well, I missed you. I was thinking about you all the time in the hospital..." All the time!

Si Chen was completely stunned!

He could feel how much courage Yan Lixia mustered up by saying these words.

The two of them hugged each other so tightly that he could clearly feel her little heart beating so fast that it was abnormally fast.

How can any woman say such explicit love words these days?

This time, he couldn't help it.

I originally wanted to tease her a little bit.

Some words rolled around on the tip of my tongue and finally clicked.

Can't say, bad atmosphere.

…

Li Fumin held an urgent confidential meeting.

All arrangements are in place.

On a rainy day, the top leader of the county public security bureau personally took charge, and about thirty people were dispatched in plainclothes and armed with live ammunition.

At six o'clock in the evening, it became dark and hazy.

Director Zheng personally directed a group of policemen in black raincoats to quietly approach Zhou Zicheng's underground gambling house.

The dilapidated cave dwelling is located in a mountain col and is very hidden.

If you have not been here before or are familiar with this area, it is impossible to discover it.

The people who are familiar with this area are naturally from Zhoujiagou. Every household in the small village has someone working for Zhou Zicheng.

Then no one will say anything about it, and who will cut off their own money?

The reason why Director Zheng and his group were able to come over was naturally because Si Chen told Li Fumin's location in detail in private.

The lightning is white and the thunder is rolling.

Soon, shouts of yelling could be heard in the mountain col:

"Squat down! Hold your head with your hands! Be honest!"

"As for you, squat down quickly!"

"Why are you running? If you run again, you'll be shot!"

boom--

The sound of gunfire is a warning and a deterrent.

Zhou Zicheng had just returned from Yangdazhu, and before he entered Shanaoao, he heard vague gunfire.

At first, he thought it was thunder.

Later, I realized that it was not the case and thought to myself, could someone be causing trouble in my place?

In the past, when someone made trouble, he and his younger brothers would shoot and threaten them.

The 27 muskets he lost in the past two days were mainly for the mine, not the mine.

There are a quota of 10 guns here.

Zhou Zicheng was filled with regret. If he was given another chance, he would not expose those thugs out of spite!
