The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Peng Mingjie held the portrait of his deceased wife in his hands and could not calm down for a long time. Peng Yongli knew her father's feelings 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 just a piece of cake. If you want, I can also 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 hope this won't be too much trouble for you!"

"It's not a problem. 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 8:30 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 can sleep on the floor in the living room."

Peng Mingjie said in embarrassment: "I came here to send Yongli to school. I didn't ask for a few days off."

Wang Sufang smiled and said, "How about this, Xiao Wang draws it and puts it in our house first, and you and Yongli can come and get it when you have time."

"Dad, I can come over when my school is on vacation." Peng Yongli said hopefully.

Peng Mingjie looked at Wang Gang again and said, "Xiao Wang, thank you for your help."

After saying that, Peng Mingjie took out a wad of money from his pocket and took out twenty yuan.

"Xiao Wang, take this money. It's my writing fee."

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 stern face: "Mingjie, what do you mean? Hurry up and take the money. If you really want to thank Xiao Wang, just treat him to a couple more drinks. Xiao Wang is a policeman, it's not appropriate for him to take money."

"Yes, I was confused." Peng Mingjie said, "But I will be 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 treated Xiao Wang to 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 with each other.

Wang Gang naturally understood what Ma Kui meant. He had a good impression of Peng Yongli. Besides, his parents were urging him to get married, so it was okay for him to get in touch with Peng Yongli.

"Sufang, go heat up the dishes. Let's eat. It's almost nine o'clock." Ma Kui said to Wang Sufang.

"Let me go!" Ma Yan said proactively.

"I'll help." Peng Yongli said, secretly glancing at Wang Gang.

Ma Kui took Wang Sufang's hand and said with a smile: "Let the two sisters go! You are pregnant now, don't work too hard."

Wang Sufang smiled and said: "I know my body, I am fine now, and I have no problem doing some small things."

Wang Gang looked at the affectionate look between Ma Kui and Wang Sufang and hesitated for a moment as to whether he should tell Ma Kui the real situation of Wang Sufang.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Gang said: "Aunt Wang, you should be more careful when you are pregnant at your age."

Ma Kui didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is right, there are other people at home, let Ma Yan and I do the housework."

"I know!" Wang Sufang turned to Wang Gang and shook her head with Ma Kui on her back, her eyes full of requests.

Wang Gang sighed, realizing that Wang Sufang had made up her mind to keep the baby even at the cost of her life.

After dinner, Ma Kui took Peng Mingjie to chat, and Wang Gang took Ma Yan out of the house and into the courtyard.

When Ma Yan saw Wang Gang looking for her alone, she thought he wanted to ask about Peng Yongli.

"Brother Xiaogang, isn't my sister Yongli pretty?"

Wang Gang said seriously: "I asked you out not to ask about Peng Yongli, but about Aunt Wang."

"What's wrong with my mother?" Ma Yan said heartlessly.

"Aunt Wang had a tumor removal surgery and her body hasn't recovered yet. It's very dangerous to get pregnant at this time." Wang Gang said earnestly.

"Ah!" Ma Yan exclaimed: "Didn't Aunt Liu say that my mother is fine?"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "My mother actually suggested getting rid of the baby, but Aunt Wang couldn't bear to do it and begged my mother to help keep it a secret. But I think this is a matter of life and death, and you and Uncle Ma must know about it."

"I'll go ask my mom." Ma Yan was completely panicked and turned around to look for Wang Sufang.

Wang Gang held Ma Yan and said, "Don't worry, there are guests at home. Wait until they leave, then 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 keep the matter between you and Wang Xin a secret from Aunt Wang. She can't stand any stimulation right now." Wang Gang warned.

"How did you know?" Ma Yan asked in surprise: "Wang Xin told you."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Wang Xin didn't say anything. Don't forget, I'm a criminal police officer. I do have some observation skills."

Ma Yan suddenly said shyly: "Wang Xin and I like each other, but my parents can't accept Wang Xin because of what happened in the past, so we are secretly dating without telling them."

"This is your private matter. I have no right to interfere. I just want to remind you that Aunt Wang's health is really fragile now." Wang Gang said.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Xiaogang." Ma Yan said gratefully.

"You're welcome. We're all neighbors, and my mom and your mom are good friends. We're just worried about Aunt Wang's health."

Wang Sufang was a very kind person, and Wang Gang didn't want to see her die young.

After giving Ma Yan instructions, 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 her heart ached.

"Yan'er, Xiaoli will sleep with you at night, so 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 and felt extremely conflicted, but soon became determined.

In the middle of the night, Ma Yan and Peng Yongli were lying on the same bed, each of them had their own thoughts and neither of them could fall asleep.

"Sister Yan, are you asleep?" Peng Yongli asked carefully.

"Not yet. Is there anything wrong? Are you feeling too crowded? I'd like to move a little to the side." Ma Yan asked.

"No, I'm not pushing." Peng Yongli blushed and said, "I just want to ask, are you familiar with Wang Gang? I saw you two just went to the courtyard to talk alone."

Ma Yan smiled and said, "Brother Xiaogang and I have known each other for many years, and now we are neighbors, so we are naturally 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 man." Ma Yan said without hesitation: "The whole family is good people."

Peng Yongli was silent for a while, then asked: "Since your two families are so familiar with each other, why don't you and Wang Gang have a relationship?"

"How could I be worthy of Brother Xiaogang? He once said that he wanted to find a college student as his partner." Ma Yan joked.

"Ah." Upon hearing this, Peng Yongli covered half of her face with the quilt, feeling embarrassed.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Li, do you have a crush on Brother Xiao Gang?"

"No way." Peng Yongli said shyly.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "My dad invited Brother Xiaogang to drink with us today. Actually, he wanted to introduce you two to each other."

Peng Yongli blinked her eyes and dared not speak anymore.

Ma Yan said: "Xiao Li, we are all women of the new era. We dare to love and hate. If we like something, we like it. If we don't like something, we don't like it. Please give me a definite answer so that I can reply to Brother Xiao Gang."

Peng Yongli was surprised and asked, "Did Wang Gang pull you into the courtyard just to ask about this?"

Ma Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and realized that Peng Yongli had misunderstood. But then she thought, a misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding, and it may not be a bad thing.

"Yes! Brother Xiaogang asked me to ask you if you are willing to contact me privately."

When Peng Yongli heard this, her face turned red like an apple and she covered her head in embarrassment.

"I do not know."

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 disagree." (End of this chapter)
