"Did you say where you went?" Jiang's mother asked, pulling the old neighbor of the Huang family's old house.

"I don't know, I've been leaving for more than a month. We all thought he was going to find relatives," said the neighbor.

Jiang's mother and father Jiang were surprised. According to the neighbor's statement, Huang Jiru had been away from the old house for a while, and no one knew where he went.

Now, let alone where they are going to find Huang Jiru, whether Huang Jiru has any problems after leaving home has become a problem.

Jiang's mother didn't have much contact with Huang Jiru, but she loved Huang Jiru from the bottom of her heart because Huang Jiru is the most outstanding descendant of the Huang family. If something happened to Huang Jiru now, she couldn't imagine it. She hurried to the village committee and called the Huang family's living elders.

The Huang family was also shocked to learn about this news. You know, they had not contacted Huang Jiru for at least half a year. It was just because Huang Jiru had a weird temper and even his relatives didn't like to come to him.

When Jiang's mother learned that Huang Jiru had not lived in other Huang's family members, she thought to herself what to do? Could she have to call the police?

Jiang's father accompanied her to the Public Security Bureau and asked for assistance in reporting the situation.

In this way, Huang Jiru's disappearance became a conclusive thing.

Jiang Yan received a call from Jiang’s father at home, saying that his uncle Huang Jiru was missing. According to the recollection of the Huang family’s neighbors, Jiang Yan calculated by himself.

If he was right, the first letter he sent to Huang Jiru should have been sent to the Huang family to the Huang family, which should be around the day when Huang Jiru disappeared.

"Ayan." Seeing that her husband was worried, Manman came over and asked.

Today is the official Laba porridge, and everyone is eating Laba porridge at home. After Mrs. Lu came back last night, she brought good news and said that Du Rulin was fine after observation and was sent back to the ward in Chuxia last night.

Jiang Yan hugged her like nothing happened and said, "Let's go, after eating Laba porridge, where do you want to play?"

"Mrs. Zhao asked me to go to Yonghe Palace to watch the fun, but I don't really want to go," said Manman.

Later, Mrs. Zhao thought that it was not appropriate to go to lively places to visit a lively place.

Manman wanted to find a quiet place to sit with her husband. But it snowed last night, and it was not too heavy, which made the sun shine this morning and the snow and the road was slippery. She wanted to go out, but she had to think about it again and again.

The family sat in the living room and drank porridge. Lu Huan took out the dough sculptures made by everyone last night for his mother. Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile while looking at it. Then Commander Lu asked what arrangements his family had made this morning. It was rare that he was at home today. He wanted the whole family to take a family photo, because the next generation was about to be born next.

My father issued an order and everyone must have cooperated with each other. Lu Huan immediately called and rejected Yao Zibao's invitation. Originally, the two brothers wanted to go to the Science and Technology Museum, but it was reported that there was a new exhibition there, but it didn't matter if they went there less.

Jun Ye called back to the unit to inquire about the situation. If the situation allows, he would take some time to fulfill his family's wish.

"Where is Dad?" Commander Lu asked Old Man Lu.

"Dad was taken away by his uncle early this morning. Their children came back from the United States and the whole family went for a trip." Mrs. Lu said.

This is normal. Commander Lu is the eldest son who is busy with a lot of things. Compared with Lu Hedong, his work is relatively leisurely. The most important thing is that Lu Hedong is more lively than his elder brother Commander Lu and has many ideas. Lu Hedong conceives and organizes all activities in the family. Of course, Old Man Lu follows his playful young son. If he stays at his eldest son’s house for the holiday, he will probably be suffocated to death.

Commander Lu was disappointed. He was indeed not a good son and could not bring any entertainment programs to the old man.

Manman understands the decision made by the old man. In this family, she and her husband don’t mention it. Except for her younger brother Lu Huan who can be cute, they are basically gourds with a saw-mouthed mouth.

To be honest, no one expects the activities at home led by Commander Lu. Everyone thought that 80% of them were going to go all the way, and they could return home in just one or two hours at most. So Lu Huan's little friend thought carefully and regretted it again, and called Yao Zibao to wait for him. Jun Ye also said to the people in the unit: I'll go back later, you can work for me.

Seeing that both sons reacted like this, Commander Lu thought that fortunately there was a daughter and son-in-law who could be counted on. He turned around and saw that his daughter and son-in-law were already discussing where to go for a ride after taking pictures.

Seeing that her husband's face was so angry that he quickly pulled him into the house and picked him a suitable dress. After all, this is to take a family photo, at least the clothes should not be sloppy.

"The children have grown up." Commander Lu sighed and felt that he could grow older by dozens of years, even better than his father.

Mrs. Lu gestured on her husband with her clothes. When she heard her husband's frustrated words, she smiled: "Look at what you said, aren't we just relying on them to grow up with children?"

"But in my heart, I always think that they are children, but they are still so young." Commander Lu held up his two sons with his hands, which was only as tall as his knees, and he was full of memories. It is better for children to be young, so well-behaved, and can stick to their parents all day long. It's not like now, each with its own world.

"Our son and daughter are considered good." Mrs. Lu was easily satisfied. Compared to other children who had not returned home for half a year or even several years, the children of the Lu family lived with them at least.

Commander Lu knew that his wife was right. When the child grew up, he always had to spread his wings and fly high. Can parents suppress them from flying? However, fathers always think of this loss in their hearts, and they don’t know how his father, Old Man Lu, has overcome this hurdle.

After changing her husband's clothes and putting on a tie, Mrs. Lu put some light makeup on herself.

While his wife was dressing up, Commander Lu stood behind her and said with a smile: "Look, I'm old, no matter how you look at it, it's still as beautiful as before."

Mrs. Lu was embarrassed and looked back to see if the child was there. She hit her husband's back of her hand and said, "I'm all old and ugly, how can I compare with the past? If you compare me with the past, wouldn't I be like this before?"

Commander Lu laughed: "That's not the case. Otherwise, take out your previous photos and show them all to the children, and ask them to say whether what I said is reasonable or what you said is reasonable."

Mrs. Lu was embarrassed and turned her back: "I won't tell you anymore."

Commander Lu held his wife's shoulders, left and right, looked at his wife in the mirror carefully. This time, he was looking for places where his daughter looked similar to his wife. He found that both his eyebrows, mouth and nose were very similar. He said, "Nannan has gained weight now and is more and more like you."

Mrs. Lu heard this and looked at herself in the mirror. In fact, when she was a child, she often felt a little strange. She didn't look like other Yang family members. For example, Yang Le'er's facial features were far from her. Later she heard that some of the uncles and uncles of the Yang family were adopted or adopted from other relatives. Maybe her father was brought to raise children from somewhere. Old Mrs. Yang was very tightly snuggled about this matter.

Mrs. Lu is not interested in tracking down her own affairs. Moreover, if she had doubts about this in the morning, her parents should have told her or made it clear to her before she died, but nothing was said to her parents, and she didn't want her to pursue this matter at all. Since she was not close to the Yang family, she would go back to her parents' home at most. Since she left with her husband, she rarely went back to the Yang family. After her parents passed away, the chance of returning to the Yang family was basically zero.

Generation after generation, her mother gave birth to her, and she gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Until now, the daughter has to give birth to a baby. Life is not only fast, but for young people today, the so-called "recognition of ancestors and return to their ancestors is far less important than making money. Even if they return to their ancestors and return to their ancestors, more people are really sad for the purpose of interests.

Mrs. Lu thought so much and felt like a boat floating in the vast sea. Only her husband who works together is real, and the rest is false.

It’s all old couples, and it’s a bit strange to learn from the passion of young people. Commander Lu and his wife just kept holding hands quietly. After a while, they reminisce about the hardships and hardships that have been together for so many years. Not every couple can do it, but they can do it, which is the most valuable thing in life.

What is love and marriage? They have thought it is the most ordinary person along the way, living every day well. They eat enough for three meals, wear good clothes, and do not leak water. They are all safe and healthy. It looks easy, but in fact the most difficult.

The youngest son opened the door, stuck his head, looked at the backs of the two of them for a while, and joked: "Dad, mom, you are so unkind. You want to live the world of both of you during the holidays, so you have said it a long time ago that we all are waiting outside. We are not children who are not open."

Commander Lu immediately turned back, imitated his eldest son, and fisted on his younger son's head: "A family, can you have no children?"

Lu Huan's little friend learned from his father's punch, and ran back crying, shouting that he would never do such a child who would disturb his parents again.

Commander Lu gritted his teeth as he listened to his younger son's cuteness: "This child is becoming more and more distorted, why is he getting older and less grown! He is only eighteen years old when he acts like a coquettish person, what does it look like!"

Mrs. Lu smiled: "He changed his temperament after his sister came back."

In other words, Lu Huan can become a child now, and it is all spoiled by his sister Manman.

Commander Lu was so amused and laughed at this matter. He couldn't call his sister Manman not caring for his younger brother. Speaking of which, Manman's relationship with his younger brother is much more harmonious than his relationship with his older brother Jun Ye.

"That's not necessarily." Mrs. Lu said, "As the biological mother of a child, she could see the opinions and experiences that others could not see. "You forgot that when you were very young, Nannan was already very nervous about her brother. If her brother fell or something, she would cry more than anyone else."

"But you see, they are almost quarreling every day." Commander Lu felt a headache every time he intervened in a dispute between his son and daughter.

The whole family was fully prepared and borrowed a larger business car from them. They all sat in one car and set off.

During the holidays, the streets are decorated with lights, especially restaurants, and the business is very lively. Du Yu wants to accompany his wife who has just finished giving birth, and he has no time to reply [Picture Cakes to satisfy his hunger], and Wang Xuebin is all arranged by himself. Wang Xuebin said that as early as a week ago, there were calls for positioning. Today's business will definitely hit a new high in turnover. Speaking of which, Commander Lu has never visited his daughter's restaurant.

"Let's go to [paint cakes to fill your hunger] at noon." Commander Lu gave the order without thinking.

Everyone was stunned. Manman was the most stunned.

It’s not that my father is not welcome to her restaurant, but there are so many people today, it’s obvious that it’s not appropriate for a family to eat in the restaurant and it’s not clean. However, thinking of my father’s daily life, it’s rare to have such a time. After thinking deeply, Manman called Wang Xuebin and asked him to free up a private room at noon as much as possible.

However, Commander Lu said: It is not suitable for frugality now. Private rooms are not suitable. I just want to sit in your restaurant like an ordinary person and eat home-cooked dishes.

When Jun Ye heard his father's words, he turned around: It seems that the old father was thinking carefully. Nowadays, he advocates thrift everywhere, eating private rooms and grabbing them, but he is afraid that his sister's business will be revealed. Although he is upright and not afraid of slanting shadows, he is also very annoying to be harassed by some annoying flies. As the saying goes, it is better to have less than more things.

Manman answered and immediately spoke to Wang Xuebin again.

So the group first came to the photo studio. This was a photo studio located on the streets and alleys. It was a small and narrow storefront. The children, for some reason, Commander Lu insisted on finding this small photo studio that was completely unknown.

Mrs. Lu knows her husband. The boss who opened here had 80% of his relationship with her husband back then. Sure enough, the boss was a disabled soldier who was retired and enjoyed national medals and treatment. He was in a wheelchair. But don’t think that he was down and out, so he became here to open a small photo studio for life. On the contrary, the boss himself has a big industry, but now he has retreated behind the scenes of a large company. He has nothing to do and plays with his photography hobby, but he doesn’t want to be disturbed by others. He insists on opening a store here, deliberately decorating the store in a down and out manner, not attracting attention, and seeks peace and comfort.

"Battor Ma." Commander Lu shook hands with the soldier in a wheelchair wearing military uniform.

Captain Ma smiled at him and his family and said, "These are all your sons and daughters? How do I remember that you don't seem to have a daughter."

"This—" Commander Lu looked at Manman, "It's a long story."

Captain Ma is a reasonable person. He knew that it was inconvenient to ask, so he stopped asking. After asking them what they were doing, he immediately asked them to sit down and have tea, and then go to the photo studio to fiddle with the background and tools. When ready, let them go in and take photos.

Jun Ye held the teacup and whispered to his father: "Why do I think he looks familiar? Where have you seen him?"

"You don't know this. His leg was not bombed by a bomb, but was smashed by a collapsed bridge." Commander Lu said in a hoarse voice, "You have seen him, maybe because the White Team dealt with him with his injured leg. When he was injured, I ordered someone to send him to the White Team quickly, but his leg was still not saved."

After retiring from the army, being able to open a large company, being a big boss, and having such leisure and cultivation to live in seclusion is enough to show that this Battalion Commander Ma had never had bad abilities in the army before. He should have been a cadre that Commander Lu was deliberately trained. This accident that interrupted Battalion Commander Ma's military career was said to be Battalion Commander Ma's purely bad luck, which was unreasonable. Commander Lu severely punished the commander present at that time and did not hesitate to offend the other party.

Commander Lu's temper is a bit like the protagonist in the sword. He occasionally goes too straight and becomes a gang of people. For this reason, Commander Lu's life is also full of twists and turns, which is quite difficult.

Manman listened slowly, her father was an official, but the hardships and pains that her father had been through along the way seemed to be able to hear a little bit now. On weekdays, Commander Lu kept his sorrow in his heart. This reminded her of her adoptive father Wen Shixuan. The shadows of the two fathers overlapped together, not without similarities. They are both kind-hearted and want their family to live well within their ability. It doesn’t matter if they suffer a little.

The great fatherly love is fully reflected in these two fathers. She is a lucky person, with such two good fathers.

Battalion Commander Ma was ready and let their family come in. The background was chosen with antique, traditional Chinese yard. Battalion Commander Ma suggested that Commander Lu and Mrs. Lu sit in the chair in front as parents, while other children stood behind the chairs in a semicircle, which looked staggered and orderly.

Before taking the photo, Manman took a comb and combed her hair, feeling a little nervous. This time she didn't take a wedding photo with her husband. At that time, she could do whatever she wanted, and her husband chose it herself. This time, she felt like she was going to be pulled into the Lu family. Her biological father, her biological mother, and her brothers.

Obviously, she had returned to the Lu family and had been with the Lu family for so long. However, at this time, she would still recall the small grocery store in the south, and the face of Wen Shixuan.

Both families were all that she didn't want to lose.

"Sister, are you doing well?" Lu Huan knocked on the door and went into the dressing room to ask.

Manman hurriedly put the comb down and nodded.

When she walked out, she was arranged in the middle, with her husband standing on one side and her elder brother standing on the other side. Through her elder brother, her younger brother Lu Huan shook at her: "Sister, are you nervous when you take photos?"

Manman rarely takes photos, and many women like to show off, but she doesn't like it.

"Stand well." Jun Ye pushed his brother's head back. He could feel his sister standing beside him, as if she was pulling a full bow, making him nervous.

Lu Huan shrugged: "Let me go back and buy another apple for my sister, take the one at home all day, so you won't have to worry about taking photos in the future."

"It's easy to buy apples." Young Master Jiang said, "It's natural to spend money on his wife."

Manman glared at them one by one: "A waste! If you want to buy, you have to support domestic products!"

"Sister, you said you should buy Xiaomi? You have such a high patriotism, and Dad will be happy when he hears it." Lu Huan said nothing, but he couldn't stop talking anyway.

Commander Lu did not agree with his younger son's words: "Your sister's original patriotism and patriotism are very high. Opening a restaurant has solved the employment of many people in China. In a word, she is better than you guys."
