Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 297 Happiness
"Well." Xu Huizhen said calmly: "Then do you agree to this?"

Xu Deyong blinked and said, "It depends on what you mean. I don't care. In fact, I don't want to be one. When the baby in your belly comes out, three babies will be enough to make me suffer."

Xu Huizhen glanced at him and said, "Then go in and reject her."

"Okay." Xu Deyong turned around and went into the tavern without hesitation.

"Come back." Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him in reproach and said, "We have a pretty good relationship. It would be bad to reject you directly."

"Oh." Xu Deyong turned around and responded.

Xu Huizhen said, "Okay, don't worry about it. At most, we can have another godchild. We have three children. It's rude not to reciprocate. Let Chen Xueru give us more New Year's money!"

Is it impolite not to reciprocate? Is he trying to get his two daughters to recognize Chen Xueru as their godmother? Xu Deyong wondered.

Xu Huizhen said again: "Now that you are back, go in and say hello. Put Ping'er down and I will take care of her."

Xu Deyong looked at Li'er and Xiao Kui who were playing not far away and said, "What about these three children? You are still pregnant with one. I will go in and say hello and come out later."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "There are many people who work while pregnant. I just showed my pregnancy. Don't make a fuss. Go and have a couple of drinks with Chen Xueru and the others for me."

Xu Deyong had no choice but to grin and put Ping'er down.

The little guy was still unhappy and didn't want to come down.

Xu Huizhen said softly, "Ping'er, Mommy will take you and your brothers and sisters out to play. Daddy has something to do and will be back soon."

Ping'er looked at it and then came down. Xu Huizhen took her over to play.

Xu Deyong turned and went into the tavern.

When I opened the door curtain, the sound mixed with hot air hit me in the face.

Zhao Yali was doing the accounting at the counter, while Cai Quanwu sat on the side with an ugly smile on his face, occasionally serving dishes and wine.

Chen Xueru was holding a wine glass, smiling cheerfully and chatting cheerfully, which was completely different from her appearance when she went to the countryside.

When everyone saw him come in, they all greeted him with a smile, and Xu Deyong also responded with a smile.

Niu Ye said with a smile: "Deyong, come and sit down. Manager Xueru is talking about your time in the countryside."

Xu Deyong paid for two taels of wine, sat down and said, "Actually there's nothing to talk about. We'll only be gone for a month."

Pian Ye drank some wine, his face was ruddy, his eyes narrowed and he smiled: "That's you, Manager Xueru has never been involved in housework, it's a punishment for her to go down, you can't say anything."

Xu Deyong chuckled and said, "Master Pian, you can't say that. What's the point of suffering or not suffering? If we suffer, what about the masses? It's because everyone is innocent. Otherwise, be careful that people will make things difficult for you just by saying that."

"Ouch." Pian Ye said quickly: "I got it, and I can't control my mouth anymore. I'm talking nonsense. What is it... Go down and accept labor training to build a communist society."

Chen Xueru smiled with her peach blossom eyes rolling, "It's okay. Fan Jinyou, the petty-minded man who thinks chicken feathers are his trump card, is not here. Otherwise, I'm sure he'll pick on me again."

Niu Ye picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's drink and stop talking about those things that are too radical."

"Yes, yes, let's drink. Drink." Pian Ye raised his glass and said.

They took a sip, Chen Xueru's pretty face flushed, she put down her wine glass and said, "Among the four of us who went to the countryside to work, the one who contributed the most and was the most popular among the villagers was De Yong."

"Hey, that's right." Uncle Niu said cheerfully, "Deyong is young and handsome, and strong. Not to mention his various skills, these two points alone make him a perfect son-in-law in the countryside!"

Qiangzi started to make a noise: "Then all the girls in the village will be disappointed."

“Hahaha…” everyone laughed.

At this time, Fan Jinyou opened the door curtain and came in. His long horse face smiled and said, "Hey, what are you guys talking about? You look so happy!"

The more Chen Xueru looked at him, the more unhappy she became. She looked empty and frivolous. She pouted and said, "We were having a good chat." Fan Jinyou said unhappily, "What's the matter, Chen Xueru, Manager Chen? You mean everyone is unhappy when I come?"

Chen Xueru's slender fingers slowly turned the wine glass and said, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."

"You..." Fan Jinyou was very angry. The key point was that this woman's tone, expression and actions combined made his anger index doubled!
Niu Ye smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we came to the wine pot to drink, so don't get angry, it's not worth it!"

Fan Jin sat down on the seat given to him by the person at the next table, and snorted coldly, "The ancients were not wrong. It's only women and villains that are hard to raise!"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Although I am a woman, I don't need to be supported by others. Besides, the country now advocates that women can hold up half the sky. What I said is contrary to the country's propaganda. I have no awareness at all. No wonder I can't even keep my status as a reserve cadre."

This statement is a bit heartless!
Unexpectedly, Fan Jinyou was not annoyed. He sneered and said, "I am too lazy to argue with you. Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little worried about Chen Xueru. With Fan Jinyou's petty personality, he would definitely make things difficult for her if he gained power in the future...

Well, it seems that I should worry about myself. If Fan Jinyou gives me a chance to make things difficult for me, he will definitely not let it go!

With the interruption of Chen Xueru and Fan Jinyou, the atmosphere of drinking and chatting was affected.

Xu Deyong drank two taels of wine, chatted with Gangzi, Ma Fei and others for a while, and then went out to see his wife and children.

The world is so big, he has no parents, his wife and children are the most important, and of course his grandmother.

He saw Xu Huizhen and her three children standing under a dim street light. The two little kids, Li'er and Xiao Chenkui, were playing the "slapping" game by clapping their hands against each other.

She called out in a clear and lovely voice: "On the first day of the first lunar month, red lanterns are hung all over the country..."

Ping'er was young, and she followed along foolishly, clapping her hands randomly. Her words were unclear, and she occasionally uttered a correct word or two. She was so adorable.

Xu Huizhen looked at them with a smile on her slightly round face, which showed a maternal look.

Xu Deyong watched for a while and felt his inner softness being struck. He really wanted to have a video recorder, or even a camera, to record this beautiful moment.

Xu Huizhen seemed to be able to sense his gaze. She turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Did you finish drinking so quickly?"

Ping'er turned her head to look at him, grinning and drooling, and said happily: "Ba Ba..." She ran towards him with her short legs shaking a little.

Xu Deyong took two quick steps, picked her up, lifted her up and spun her around, saying, "After you finish drinking, come out if there's nothing else."

“Hehehe…” Ping’er flew up happily.

Li Er saw Xiao Chen Kui left behind and ran over and said, "Dad, I want one too."

Xu Deyong held one in each hand, lifted them up high and spun them around. The two children were so happy that they kept laughing.

Xu Huizhen also wanted to record this scene, so she smiled and said, "Slow down."

Little Chen Kui looked up at the scene with envy and realized the power of the word "Dad".

Xu Deyong saw the desire in his eyes, put Ping'er down and waved to him, "Come, uncle will take you to play."

Little Chen Kui hesitated, pursed his lips and rubbed his hands.

Li Er said with a smile: "Come on, Xiao Kui, my father is very strong."

Little Chen Kui no longer hesitated and ran over.

Xu Deyong took off with one of them in one hand, and the two of them laughed non-stop, while Ping'er under his feet was spinning in circles anxiously.

Chen Xueru came out and saw this scene, and was slightly dazed...
