Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1255 Xue Mei is in trouble

Aunt Chen nodded: "It's good that it's close by, and it's convenient to come and go. It's just that with Xiaomei's personality, you can forget about making money."

Qin Xuemei blushed again: "Auntie~".

Aunt Chen laughed heartily. Little Liu walked over: "Dinner's ready. Shall we eat here or in the back dining room?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's eat in the back. It's too much trouble to carry things back and forth."

Everyone got up and walked to the back to eat. Chen Xiao said, "Aren't we going to wait for my dad?"

Aunt Chen said, "No need to wait. If he comes back and hasn't eaten yet, just make him something fresh. If he hasn't come back by now, he must be at a meeting again."

The main job of senior officials is to attend meetings. There are meetings of all sizes, on-site meetings, office meetings, meetings between superiors and subordinates. The amount of tea consumed in meetings each month could be used to take several baths, and the amount of documents used in meetings could circle the earth several times.

After dinner, Aunt Chen took Xiao Hui for a walk in the yard to digest their food. Chen Hui and Xiao Wei sat on one side talking, while Chen Xiao and Qin Xuemei chattered away.

"Xiaowei," Aunt Chen called out. Xiaowei looked up, and Aunt Chen said, "Come on, turn on the front yard light so I can take a look."

Xiao Wei followed them to the front yard, and Chen Hui followed as well.

Aunt Chen pulled Xiao Hui along beside Xiao Wei and whispered, "Xiao Wei, it seems like Xue Mei and Wang Jiwei are having some issues. If you don't object, you don't need to worry about it. But if you have any other ideas, you should hurry up and act."

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen said, "I can't be wrong. Xue Mei looks at Wang Jiwei differently than she looks at others."

Xiaowei said, "This is great news! I've been worried that Xuemei wouldn't be able to get over it. I also approve of Jiwei, and I'll definitely support Xuemei if she really goes with him. Really? Are you sure?"

Aunt Chen nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. I also feel that it would be a good thing if the two of them could really get together, and you could all breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Xuemei will always be a problem in the future."

Chen Hui said, "Of course, it's bound to happen sooner or later if she can't get over it. Don't be fooled by how normal she seems now; Sister Xuemei is carrying a heavy burden on her mind. Moreover, she's a very sensitive person, so no one dares to say anything too subtle or insincere. You have to be careful what you say in front of her."

Xiao Wei patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said, "So, you've suffered because of me?"

Chen Hui shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. What's so bitter about it? I'm doing it willingly."

Chen Xiao's laughter rang out behind the two of them, his infectious laughter echoing in the courtyard: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Oh my god, hahahaha."

Xiao Xiaohui stared blankly at Chen Xiao: "We're doomed, Mom's gone mad."

Aunt Chen was holding Xiao Xiaohui's hand as she leaned into the large pit filled with quick-setting cement. She turned to Chen Xiao and asked, "What's wrong with this child?"

Qin Xuemei also came over from behind, carrying a piece of clothing in her hand.

She had just gone back inside to get clothes for Xiao Xiao Hui. The evening breeze was a bit chilly. "What's wrong? Why are you laughing like that?" she asked. She reached out to help Chen Xiao, who was swaying, and once she was steadyed, she came over and helped Xiao Xiao Hui put on his clothes. "What's your mom laughing at?"

Little Hui stretched out his little arms for Qin Xuemei to put on his clothes, his eyes fixed on Chen Xiao: "Mommy's gone crazy. She needs a shot."

Chen Hui went over to help Chen Xiao: "What's wrong? This guy, you've taken over all the laughing while Xiao Hong isn't here."

Chen Xiao laughed until her stomach hurt and she had no energy left. She reached out and hugged Chen Hui's neck, leaning against him and trembling.

Xiao Xiaohui said, "Mom, don't be crazy, I won't fight you for the chocolate anymore."

Aunt Chen asked Xiao Wei, "Is this okay? It shouldn't leak anymore, right?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, Engineer Wang said that's fine. We need to observe it for two days to see if there's any more seepage around the four sides. If not, we can start building. It's solid now. The bottom is filled with more than a meter of grout, and the foundation of the entire house on all four sides and the central embankment are now one. I estimate it would be fine even in an earthquake of magnitude 8."

Aunt Chen said, "That's good too. A pool of water isn't easy to move, so this way it's more accurate. Otherwise, the pool itself might sink in the future."

Chen Hui hugged Chen Xiaoyao and kissed her cheek: "Okay, okay, stop laughing. You'll go crazy if you keep laughing. Take a breath, try to hold it in."

Chen Xiao went limp: "My stomach, my stomach hurts. Haha. Mmm~~, I'm dying of laughter."

Qin Xuemei asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Xiao said, "Him, the two of them. Xiao Wei said, 'So, you've suffered because of me?' Hahaha, Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui, hahahaha, Xiao Hui said, 'What's so bad about it? Haha, it's all because of me, it's all because of me, hahahaha, I did it willingly. Hahaha, oh my god, I'm going to die laughing. Hahaha."

Chen Hui turned to Xiao Wei: "Did we talk about this?"

Xiao Wei glanced at Chen Xiao: "Did you tell him? Did you tell him? Who even remembers these things anymore?"

Qin Xuemei chuckled and slapped Xiao Wei on the shoulder: "You guys can be so funny all day long."

Xiao Wei said, "What I said was normal, okay? It was his response that was wrong."

Old Chen walked over from the garage along the veranda: "What's Xiaoxiao laughing about? I could hear it from inside the garage."

Xiao Wei asked, "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

Old Chen said, "I ate a little and drank a few cups. Do you have any noodles at home? Just make me a bowl of noodles. Is it ready?" He squatted down to look at it and said, "There's no water left, so it should be fine."

Xiao Wei went to Xiao Liu and asked the kitchen to make some noodles.

Apart from Lao Chen, no one else had the authority to command these staff members; they all had to go through Xiao Liu. Don't underestimate Xiao Liu just because he's a team leader who serves the leaders; he's a full-fledged deputy director-level cadre, essentially their personal secretary or housekeeper.

If Old Chen retires in the future, someone like Xiao Liu will generally be demoted, or at the very least, go somewhere to serve as mayor for a term.

A group of people turned off the lights in the front yard and came to the back. Chen Xiao was panting heavily and didn't laugh much anymore. Old Chen knew the reason and laughed a few times.

After chatting for a while, Old Chen ate some noodles and went to his study to look at documents. Aunt Chen took Xiao Xiao Hui for another walk. Xiao Wei walked up to Qin Xuemei and sat down next to her: "Sister, can I ask you something?"

Qin Xuemei turned to look at her: "Huh?"

Xiao Wei coughed, prepared himself, and asked, "Sis, what do you think of Jiwei?"

Qin Xuemei's face flushed red instantly, thankfully it was dark in the courtyard: "Why are you asking this, you good-looking guy? What does his condition have to do with me?"

Xiaowei said, "Sister, you know our whole family is worried about you. Even though we can't say or ask, we're all anxious. I'm not afraid you'll be angry. If you really have this idea, we all support you."

"We've known Wei Ge for a long time; we know him inside and out. I'd feel at ease entrusting you to him. We don't need to worry about our livelihood. Actually, the only worry right now is your marriage; Mom has asked me about it more than once."
