Luo Hao withdrew his gaze and opened the door of the back seat of the car. A young woman got out of the car with her child.

"Sister Wan, it's a bit late today. Can you just go with me to my brother's place to deal with it all night, and then go to the school tomorrow?"

The young woman nodded, held her daughter's fingers tightly, and spoke in a dry voice.

"Your brother, are you at home?"

"It should be there..."

Luo Hao looked at the driver, who immediately picked him up.

"The instructor is not at home tonight. He has a mission. He won't be back until tomorrow afternoon."

The woman forced a smile and lowered her head to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"My brother doesn't have much room in his house, so you and Doudou may have to squeeze in a bit."

After opening the door and entering, Luo Hao frowned.

It was so quiet at home, so late at night, not even a light was turned on.

Even if his eldest brother is not here, the two children should be here.

After walking around the room without seeing any trace of the child, Luo Hao became nervous.

Before he came, he heard that Luo Xiao almost drowned. Is he still in the hospital? Or did he go out to play while his brother was away?

When I was hesitating whether to go out and look for it, a head popped up at the door.

"Uncle, are you Luo Xiao's uncle?"

Luo Hao was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.

"I am his uncle. Do you know where he and his sister went?"

"Luo Xiao took Weiwei to sister Ao Qing's house. He said that he won't come back in the next few days and asked me to tell his father. I didn't see Uncle Luo coming back. How about you tell me?"

Sister Ao Qing?

Luo Hao subconsciously looked at the mother and daughter standing in the middle of the room.

Shi Wan's face turned a little whiter. She pursed her lips and lowered her head. She covered her daughter Doudou's head with her thin palm and rubbed it unconsciously.

Doudou held a doll in one hand and held the corner of her mother's clothes with the other, looking up at Luo Hao.

"Brother and sister Xiaoxiao don't want us to live here? Mom, why don't we go to your school?"

Luo Hao frowned: "Impossible, they don't know you are coming at all, don't think nonsense. There is a misunderstanding between Xiaoxiao's child and my parents, and it is not directed at you."

Shi Wan nodded silently, with a little more crystal light at the end of his eyes.

Luo Hao felt a little annoyed when he saw her like this, but he had to restrain his temper and settle the mother and daughter down.

On the other side, Ao Qing's house was very lively.

Her room is not big, and one bed cannot sleep three people.

He put away the small square table, spread a cotton blanket on the clean floor, and then put on sheets. He also used pillowcases to cover clothes as pillows.

The weather in the south is hot, so covering yourself with a towel at night is enough.

Bian Xiao insisted on sleeping on the floor with Luo Xiao, but Ao Qing couldn't do anything about him.

Anyway, Captain Bian also knows that Bian Xiao is here with her, so that’s all. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow.

The next day, when Ao Qing got up, the three little guys were sleeping soundly.

When she came back after buying breakfast, she saw the three of them getting up, and Luo Xiao even tied her sister's hair.

"I have to go to work. How are you three going to spend your day today? Have you finished your summer homework? School is about to start."

"I don't have any homework, I'm still in kindergarten."

Luo Wei's braids were high and low, and she thought they were very beautiful. She shook her head and ate the bun while talking.

Ao Qing was amused by her beautiful appearance, so he pulled her over and took out the crooked braid and tied it up again.

"What about you, Luo Xiao, and Bian Xiao? You two should have homework, right?"

If the two little guys don't speak, it's obvious what they mean. It's hard to say whether they did it or not.

"You two will do your homework here today, and I will bring you food at noon. If you behave well, I will take you to catch fish in the evening."

"Catching fish? Fish in the sea are different from those in the river. You can't catch them."

"Don't worry about it. If I say I'm going to catch fish, I'll catch the fish. You'll know if you follow me. But if you haven't finished your homework, I'll be sorry. You two continue to work and I'll take Weiwei there."

After breakfast in a few minutes, the two little guys helped clear the table diligently. Bian Xiao went home and took his and Luo Xiao's schoolbags.

Ao Qing took a key and handed it to Luo Xiao, asking him to put it on with a rope and hang it on his chest.

"I get off work at 12 noon and will be back around 12:30. Don't run around, okay?"

After repeated warnings worriedly, Ao Qing glanced at the small alarm clock her brother bought for her, then hurriedly picked up her bag and ran out.

When she rushed downstairs, she almost bumped into someone again.

The opponent dodged quickly and the two passed by each other.

Ao Qing hurried to work, leaving only a series of "I'm sorry" without daring to stop.

Luo Hao watched her run away, then looked back at the stairs with a complicated expression.

In the room, Luo Xiao and Bian Xiao took out their summer vacation homework and wrote and drew casually. Next to them, Weiwei drew small fish in a picture book given to her by Ao Qing.

When there was a knock on the door, the three children were stunned for a moment.

Luo Xiao was the first to react, and his face suddenly tensed up.

Bian Xiao was sitting at the door. He stood up and opened the door a crack. He looked at the strange man outside and asked him who he was looking for.

"Is this Comrade Ao Qing's home?"

"Yes, who are you? My sister Qingqing is not here, she has gone to work."

"Then, are Luo Xiao and Luo Wei here?"

Bian Xiao turned around subconsciously, and Luo Xiao was already standing behind him.

"Brother, who is looking for us?"

Luo Wei also came over and looked up at the man who was about the same height as her father, with curiosity written all over his little face.

"Uncle, what do you want from me and my brother?"

This was the first time Luo Hao met his little niece. When he left home to go to the army, his eldest nephew Luo Xiao was only a three-year-old child.

"I am your uncle Luo Hao. Xiaoxiao, would you like to talk to your uncle?"

"There's nothing to say." Luo Xiao was like a little hedgehog covered in spikes, with resistance and defensiveness written in his eyes.

Luo Hao breathed out softly.

He did some research before coming here and knew that the child had a problem, but he didn't expect that the problem would be so serious.

"Uncle, we still have to do homework. If you have any questions, can you tell Uncle Luo?"

Bian Xiao finished speaking very quickly, and then closed the door.

Luo Hao raised his hand, sighed helplessly, turned and left.

Bian Xiao leaned against the door panel and put his ear to the door. After hearing the footsteps outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his good brother who looked very sad.

Luo Hao returned to his brother's house and saw Shi Wan and Doudou cuddling together, sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Haozi, Doudou and I plan to go to the school to report first. We will come over to see your brother after we have settled in."

Luo Hao glanced at the luggage at their feet and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there."

After saying that, he went to help carry the luggage bag, so fast that Shi Wan didn't even react.

Shi Wan twitched her fingers, bit her lower lip and pulled her daughter to follow Luo Hao out of the door. When she heard the door closing, she trembled slightly.

Shi Doudou looked up at her mother, then lowered her head and hugged her doll tightly.

On her first day at work, Ao Qing felt almost paralyzed by fatigue.

She didn't do anything else all morning. She just cleaned the office and filled three bags with garbage.

After getting off work at noon, the director who came to inspect the work looked at the bright and tidy office, nodded with satisfaction, and handed Ao Qing two food stamps.

Staring at the food stamps in his hand, Ao Qing was confused.
