Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 298 Women’s Intuition

Xu Deyong noticed Chen Xueru when he was spinning around with the two children, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Huizhen seemed to sense something. She turned around and saw Chen Xueru, then smiled and said hello, "Sister Xueru, have you finished drinking so quickly?"

Chen Xueru regained her composure, walked forward with a smile and said, "We're done drinking. Without you to drink with us, it's not much fun just listening to a bunch of old men bragging."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "I will definitely accompany you for a good drink at this time next year. You must not refuse to drink then."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at her and said, "How can I compare with you? You grew up in a wine jar and claim to drink all the time. It's just right for us to have a drink of equal weight."

"Are you talking about Deyong?" Finally, Chen Xueru glanced at Xu Deyong with her peach blossom eyes.

"Ahem..." Xu Deyong coughed, put down the two children, grabbed Ping'er who had been trying to hug his legs, held her in his arms and said, "You should drink in moderation."

Chen Xueru smiled and said to Xiao Chen Kui, "Xiao Kui, let's go home."

Little Chen Kui immediately showed a look of hesitation. It was really fun to play with the tall Uncle Xu, and with Sister Li'er too. Sister Li'er's home also had all kinds of fun toys made by Uncle Xu, which doubled the fun.

He has been brainwashed by Li'er, calling her sister all day long, and he doesn't care that he is a few months older!

Chen Xueru saw through her son's thoughts at a glance and said unhappily, "Why, you still don't want to go back? Then go home with them."

"Really." Little Chen Kui immediately looked happy and said carefully.

Chen Xueru couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "You little bastard, I've raised you for nothing. You're so happy just to be played with by others for a few times that you don't want to leave."

Little Chen Kui lowered his head and glanced at his mother, not daring to speak.

Xu Huizhen smiled and patted his head and said, "Come on, you scared the child. The child is young and sometimes can't tell whether the adults are joking or serious."

Chen Xueru raised her lips and said, "I know you can raise a child, okay? Look how open and generous you are, but Xiao Kui is a little introverted and timid."

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said, "With a strong mother like you, what else can he do but to shrink back? He can't fight against you."

"Okay, okay, you're the only one who makes sense." Chen Xueru said, "Then Xiao Kui will be handed over to you. You, as godfathers and godmothers, should just check the goods in advance."

Xu Huizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We haven't said yes yet."

Chen Xueru said with a lingering look in her eyes, "You have to agree. I will ask Master Niu to be a witness tomorrow. This matter must be taken seriously."

Xu Huizhen said helplessly: "We have to go to the child's grandmother's place tomorrow."

Chen Xueru was determined. She said, "You guys have to come back tonight. I'll take Uncle Niu to your house and adopt him as my godson. I guarantee that the baby in your belly is also a boy."

Little Chen Kui raised his head, blinked his eyes and said, "Auntie is pregnant with a little brother."

Xu Deyong glanced at him when he heard that. This little guy knows how to flatter at such a young age.

Li Er was not happy and said, "It's not a brother, it's a sister."

"Haha..." Chen Xueru laughed and said, "Let's see who is right later."

After saying that, she twisted her waist and hips and turned away.

Xu Deyong watched the two women talking without interrupting. He just took a last look at Chen Xueru's round and perky buttocks, thinking that after this year, almost no one would dare to wear these slightly tight pants.

Of course, clothes in this era were generally loose-fitting, which was related to the social moral environment and also had a lot to do with material resources. They were new for three years, old for three years, and mended for another three years. They were to be worn for such a long time, so they had to be made bigger at the beginning.

Xu Huizhen said, "Hey, let Xiao Kui stay here tonight and I'll send him to you tomorrow morning."

Chen Xueru waved her hand without even turning her head and said, "No need to send me off. Just take me to see the child's grandmother. It's a good opportunity to get to know her."

Little Chen Kui suddenly became happy and followed Xiao Lier happily.

Xu Deyong looked at the boy with some displeasure. He was also a little licker of this era! Seeing Chen Xueru leave, Xu Huizhen saw that Xu Deyong didn't say a word, so she couldn't help but hit him and whispered, "It's all your fault."

Xu Deyong said innocently, "What does it have to do with me?"

Ping'er in his arms saw her mother hitting her father, and immediately stretched out her hands with a smart look in her eyes, saying in a baby voice: "Mah, no..."

"Haha..." Xu Deyong was very happy to see this, and kissed Ping'er and said, "After all, you are daddy's little cotton-padded jacket, and you know how to protect daddy."

"Hehe..." Li'er shrank his neck and laughed with his small body.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him fiercely, and said to Li'er and Xiao Chenkui, "Let's go home. The weather is getting cold."

Xu Deyong shrugged and followed behind, teasing Ping'er and laughing.

After returning home, the three little guys were playing happily and didn't want to go to sleep until Xu Huizhen got a little angry, then Li'er and Xiao Chenkui went to bed obediently.

The two little guys were still arguing about whether Xu Huizhen was carrying a brother or a sister in her belly, but judging from the look on little Chen Kui's face, they wouldn't be able to hold out for too long.

Ping'er was still young, so her small bed was placed in their room.

Xu Deyong told the little guy a story to coax him to sleep before he lay down on the bed.

Xu Huizhen also finished sewing up the torn pants for the naughty Li'er and lay down in his shirt.

Xu Deyong leaned over and gently stroked her bulging belly.

Xu Huizhen felt him getting erect again, so she slapped his hand away and said, "Go to sleep, stop touching me, it makes you uncomfortable."

"Hehe." Xu Deyong laughed and said, "Wife, you can solve it for me."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then tell me what's going on with this bitch Chen Xueru?"

"What's going on?" Xu Deyong asked stupidly.

Xu Huizhen bit her lip and said, "You have to trust a woman's intuition. Does she want to be with you?"

Xu Deyong was a little dumbfounded when he heard that. His wife was really something. She could even sense such a mysterious thing?

Seeing him like this, Xu Huizhen turned her back to him.

Xu Deyong rubbed his nose and was speechless. Although he didn't do anything, it seemed like that was the case.

This incident may have brought back some bad memories for Xu Huizhen. After all, He Yongqiang and his sister-in-law were in love.

Am I her best friend?

Bah, bah, bah. Why are you trying to apply such a formula to something that didn’t happen?
Xu Deyong carefully stretched out his arms and hugged Xu Huizhen's thicker waist, and Xu Huizhen did not stop him.

He felt a little relieved and stayed close to her from behind. She was his wife. Although Chen Xueru was good, he could not let her give up on him.

After a while, just when Xu Deyong thought Xu Huizhen had fallen asleep.

Xu Huizhen suddenly whispered, "Deyong, you won't leave us three, right?"

Xu Deyong immediately said solemnly: "I will never do that even if I die!"

"Well, go to sleep." Xu Huizhen responded softly.

Xu Deyong waited for a long time, but didn't hear Xu Huizhen say anything else. He could only fall asleep slowly with a feeling of uncertainty.

He was thinking to himself, when he goes to his grandmother's house tomorrow, he will meet Qin Huairu, who lost her husband early. Now that she has one less child, will she still be the same as he thought she would be?
But without Jia Dongxu, the next three years might be even more difficult...!
