Peng Mingjie held the portrait of his late wife and couldn't calm down for a long time. Peng Yongli knew his father's mood and was full of gratitude to Wang Gang.
"Brother Wang, thank you." Peng Yongli said to Wang Gang with a blushing face.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You're welcome, it's all a matter of effort. If you want, I can draw a family portrait."
"Really!" Peng Yongli's eyes lit up and she said to her father Peng Mingjie: "Dad, we don't have a family photo yet."
Peng Mingjie wiped his tears and said to Wang Gang: "Xiao Wang, I won't trouble you too much!"
"It's not troublesome. It's just that it may take some time to draw the family portrait. I can't finish it today." Wang Gang looked at his watch. It was already half past eight in the evening.
Ma Kui came out and said with a smile: "Mingjie, Yongli, why don't you stay at my house today, let Yongli and Ma Yan sleep in the same room, and you make a floor bunk in the living room."
Peng Mingjie wondered: "I'm here to send Yongli to school this time. I didn't ask for a few days off."
Wang Sufang smiled and said: "Otherwise, if Xiao Wang draws it, let it go to our house first. You and Yong Li can come and get it later when you have time."
"Dad, I can come over during my school vacation," Peng Yongli said eagerly.
Peng Mingjie looked at Wang Gang again and said, "Xiao Wang, I'll trouble you."
After saying that, Peng Mingjie took out a wad of money from his pocket and took out twenty yuan.
"Xiao Wang, take this money and it will be considered as the retouching fee I paid."
Wang Gang pushed the money back and said with a smile: "It's just two paintings, no need to pay."
Ma Kui said to Peng Mingjie with a straight face: "Mingjie, what do you mean? Put the money away quickly. I really want to thank Xiao Wang. Just treat him to two more drinks. Xiao Wang is a policeman. It is not appropriate to collect money."
.”
"Yes, I'm confused." Peng Mingjie said, "But I'm going back to Harbin in two days, so I may not be able to treat Xiao Wang to a drink."
"You left, but Yongli is still here! She came over during the school holidays and invited Xiao Wang to have a meal." Ma Kui said with a smile.
Peng Mingjie was stunned and instantly understood what his old friend meant. This was to create an opportunity for Peng Yongli and Wang Gang to get along.
Wang Gang naturally understood what Ma Kui meant. He had a good impression of Peng Yongli, and his parents were pressing for marriage, so it was okay to have some contact with Peng Yongli.
"Sufang, go and heat up the food. Let's eat quickly. It's almost nine o'clock." Ma Kui said to Wang Sufang.
"I'd better go!" Ma Yan said proactively.
"I'm here to help." Peng Yongli glanced at Wang Gang secretly and said.
Ma Kui took Wang Sufang's hand and said with a smile: "Let the two sisters go! You are pregnant now, so don't work too hard."
Wang Sufang smiled and said: "I know my body. I'm fine now. It's no problem to do small things."
Seeing how loving Ma Kui and Wang Sufang were, Wang Gang hesitated for a moment as to whether he should tell Ma Kui and Wang Sufang's real situation.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Gang still said: "Aunt Wang, you should pay more attention when you are pregnant with a child at your age."
Ma Kui hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is right. It's not like there are no others at home. Ma Yan and I should do the housework."
"I know!" Wang Sufang carried Ma Kui on her back, turned to Wang Gang and shook her head, her eyes full of pleading.
Wang Gang sighed and realized that Wang Sufang had made up her mind to save this pregnancy even if her life was at stake.
After dinner, Ma Kui took Peng Mingjie to chat, while Wang Gang took Ma Yan out of the house and came to the courtyard.
When Ma Yan saw Wang Gang coming to find her alone, she thought she wanted to ask about Peng Yongli.
"Brother Xiaogang, isn't my sister Yongli pretty?"
Wang Gang said seriously: "I came out to ask you not about Peng Yongli, but about Aunt Wang."
"What's wrong with my mother?" Ma Yan asked carelessly.
"Aunt Wang has had a tumor removal operation and her body has not yet recovered. It is very dangerous to be pregnant at this time." Wang Gang said seriously.
"Ah!" Ma Yan exclaimed, "Didn't Aunt Liu say there's nothing wrong with my mother?"
Wang Gang sighed and said, "My mother actually suggested getting rid of the child, but Aunt Wang was reluctant and begged my mother to help hide it. But I think this is a matter of life and death, and you and Uncle Ma must know."
"I'll ask my mother." Ma Yan was completely panicked and turned around to find Wang Sufang.
Wang Gang grabbed Ma Yan and said, "Don't worry, there are still guests at home. After they leave, you can have a good chat with Aunt Wang."
Ma Yan was anxious, but she also knew that now was not the best time.
"Also, it's best to hide the matter between you and Wang Xin from Aunt Wang now. She can't bear any stimulation now." Wang Gang warned.
"How did you know?" Ma Yan said in surprise: "Wang Xin told you."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Wang Xin didn't say anything. Don't forget, I am a criminal police officer, so I still have some observation skills."
Ma Yan suddenly said coquettishly: "Wang Xin and I like each other, but my parents couldn't accept Wang Xin because of the past, so we secretly dated her without telling them."
"This is your private matter. I have no right to interfere. I just want to remind you that Aunt Wang's body is really fragile now." Wang Gang said.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Xiaogang." Ma Yan said gratefully.
"You're welcome. We are all neighbors, and my mother and your mother are good friends. We are just worried about Aunt Wang's health."
Wang Sufang is a very kind person, and Wang Gang doesn't want to see her die young.
After telling Ma Yan, Wang Gang returned to his home.
After Ma Yan returned home, she saw Wang Sufang chatting with Peng Yongli, with a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Yan'er, Xiaoli will sleep with you tonight. Please bring out an extra quilt." Wang Sufang seemed to notice something strange on Ma Yan's face.
"Okay, Mom." Ma Yan obediently went to get the quilt.
Wang Sufang touched her belly, feeling extremely conflicted, but she soon became determined.
In the middle of the night, Ma Yan and Peng Yongli were lying on the same bed, each with their own thoughts, but neither of them fell asleep.
"Sister Yan, are you asleep?" Peng Yongli asked carefully.
"Not yet, are you okay? Is it too crowded? I'll move closer to the side." Ma Yan asked.
"No, I'm not crowded." Peng Yongli blushed and said, "I want to ask, are you familiar with that Wang Gang? I see that you just went to the courtyard to have a conversation alone."
Ma Yan smiled and said: "Brother Xiaogang and I have known each other for many years, and now we are neighbors, so naturally we are very familiar with each other."
Peng Yongli rolled her eyes and asked: "Sister Yan, what kind of person is Wang Gang?"
"Brother Xiaogang is a good person." Ma Yan said without hesitation: "The whole family is a good person."
Peng Yongli was silent for a while and then asked: "Since your two families are so familiar, why can't you and Wang Gang get along?"
"How am I worthy of brother Xiaogang? He once said that he wanted to find a college student partner." Ma Yan joked.
"Ah." Upon hearing this, Peng Yongli covered half of her face with a quilt, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Ma Yan smiled and said: "Xiaoli, do you have a crush on Brother Xiaogang?"
"No way." Peng Yongli said shyly.
Ma Yan smiled and said, "My dad called Brother Xiaogang over for a drink today. Actually, he just wanted to introduce you to each other."
Peng Yongli blinked her eyes and did not dare to speak.
Ma Yan said: "Xiaoli, we are all women of the new era. We dare to love and hate. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Please give me an accurate answer so that I can reply to Brother Xiaogang."
Peng Yongli asked in surprise: "Could it be that Wang Gang pulled you into the courtyard just to ask about this matter?"
Ma Yan was stunned and quickly turned around, knowing that Peng Yongli had misunderstood, but then she thought about it, misunderstanding was just a misunderstanding, and it might not be a bad thing.
"Yes! Brother Xiaogang, please let me ask you if you would like to have some private contact."
Hearing this, Peng Yongli blushed like an apple and covered her head in shame.
"I have no idea."
Ma Yan said with a smile: "Then I will reply to brother Xiaogang like this."
"No." Peng Yongli lifted the quilt and said, "I didn't say I disagreed."
