To middle age

Coming back this time, I was a little caught off guard by Wu Xiulian's actions.

When I came to the hotel room where I was staying, I took a shower and lay on the bed, thinking about how to face Wu Xiulian's family.

Last time I came back, apart from building a house at home, I told my parents that I was divorced, and also took Wu Xiulian for a physical examination. As a result of the examination, Wu Xiulian was able to live and raise her, and her ex-husband slandered her.

But during this time I was not at home. The relationship between the two families has improved because of building a house. My parents' impression of Wu Xiulian is getting better and better, especially this time when my dad was hospitalized, Wu Xiulian took the initiative to take care of her. Make my Chen family's future daughter-in-law's plan, and my parents agreed before I came. Of course, Wu Xiulian's parents accepted it.

In the eyes of the two families, Wu Xiulian and I were both divorced and had no children. Then the two families lived close, moved around a lot, and were able to take care of each other. Based on these points, the elders of the two families hope to contribute to this.

But for me, this is obviously impossible, not only because I have Zhou Ruoyun, but also because I don't have the kind of affection for Wu Xiulian. To put it bluntly, it is inappropriate.

Shaking my head, I left the incident behind and went to sleep.

At four or five in the afternoon, I got up and came to the hospital again.

My dad is going to be hospitalized for three weeks. During this time, my mom and I took turns to take care of my dad. Because Wu Xiulian was rejected by me, she lost the enthusiasm. However, I took the lead to send her home and bought some gifts to get Wu Xiulian. Home.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and my dad was recovering well. The doctor said that the rehabilitation treatment was very good. After returning home to rest for a period of time, he can walk around at will.

I took my dad home, and I looked at the newly built house.

It's almost September now. The exterior wall of this western-style building has been pasted with stone bricks. The red oceanic tiles on it are very beautiful. The whole house has been completely built. All that needs to be done is decoration.

The decoration needs to do water and electricity first, then carpentry, and finally furniture and home appliances. In this area, I try my best to make sure to use it well.

"Xiao Nan, Uncle Zhao said that it will be renovated for almost three months, and then it will be free for another month, and it will be possible to live in almost January." My mother said.

"Yeah." I nodded.

For the decoration, I specifically explain, especially the paint, you must buy green paint, otherwise the formaldehyde is high, and the elderly live in a new house.

On the other hand, I plan to have more greenery in the house after the house is renovated, and every room must have an air purifier.

After the house is covered, the plumber is required to enter the site. This requires a two-day break, and the first part of the money is fully settled before the second part can be restarted.

On this day, I had a meal with my parents, Zhao Daquan, and Wu Baogen's family.

It just happened to be a table, I took out the pre-prepared wine and poured a glass for everyone.

"Chunxi, you took a long time to ask for leave this time, won't the company urge you?" Wu Baogen smiled lightly.

"Yes, Chunxi, won't it affect your work?" Wu Xiulian's mother also said.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I said hello to the company leaders. I must take care of the family affairs. Now that my dad looks good, he can walk around, so I can rest assured." I smiled.

"Yes, yes, it's finally over. I said Lao Chen, you and Chunxi's mother can't go to battle in person anymore." Wu Baogen nodded and said with a smile.

"I don't know about water, electricity and carpentry. How can I do it again, and my body is still recovering." My dad smiled awkwardly.

"Come on, the chicken soup is here, be careful!" My mother put a big pot of chicken soup on the table.

Soon, we started to eat and drink. During the period, we talked a lot about house topics. Because Zhao Daquan’s wife was urging him on the phone and asked him to drink less, so Zhao Daquan ate half a catty of liquor and withdrew first.

At this moment, our family and Wu Xiulian's family are left.

"Chunxi, after the house is finished, your parents will enjoy a good fortune, so your mother won't go to farm, just let the village expropriate the land, and get a thousand quick cash every year." Wu Baogen smiled. .

"Yeah!" I nodded and looked at my mother: "Mom, you really can't go to work anymore. There are more than five acres of land."

"You don't understand the child, I know that I can't grow old enough to grow, but usually some vegetables must be available, otherwise your mother, should I go to the village to buy vegetables every day?" My mother said hurriedly.

"Yes, Chunxi, it's okay for your mother to plant a la carte. In this way, leaving three points, it's almost the same. Your mother wants a variety of things, and there is no place." Wu Xiulian's mother laughed.

"That's fine, there are not many three points." I nodded.

Usually, eggplant, pepper, radish, cucumber...

It’s necessary to grow something for your own home. As for growing rice, watermelon, corn and so on in large quantities, this is really unnecessary. After all, my mother is also old.

"By the way, Chunxi, in another month, it will be National Day. How do you feel about Xiulian?" Wu Xiulian's mother turned around.

"Yes, Chunxi, we Xiulian have a deep love for you. We have rejected many people introduced by matchmakers. I think you are quite right. Your career is also good. It is not easy to work outside. We can take care of each other at home. "Wu Baogen also said.

As soon as I said this, I smiled awkwardly and felt a little puzzled. Actually, Wu Xiulian and I have already explained it, but Wu Xiulian has not ventilated with her family until now.

"This--" My mother was speechless.

"Old man, although I am just the village chief, I have put out my savings over the years, and there are hundreds of thousands. The family expenses must be enough, and you don't want your family's gift, how about it?" Wu Baogen continued.

"Xiao Nan!" My dad looked at me.

"Uncle Baogen--" I was about to speak.

"Dad, don't say anything, Brother Chunxi has a partner, she won't be engaged to me." Wu Xiulian interrupted me hurriedly.

Wu Xiulian's words surprised Wu Baogen and her wife. They looked at me together, and my parents became even more embarrassed.

"Chunxi, do you have a partner? Why haven't you heard that during this time?" Wu Baogen asked.

"Yes, Chunxi, when did you find someone?" Wu Xiulian asked her mother too.

"Uncle Baogen, Auntie, I told Xiulian when I came back, and told my parents. I have been talking for a while." I explained.

"Hey, this--" Wu Baogen sighed.

"Dad, Brother Chunxi has an object, so we don't want to be hot and cold," Wu Xiulian said hurriedly.

"Baogen, we didn't know that this kid found someone so soon. We thought Xiulian would talk to you when she got home, and we couldn't open this mouth." My mother said embarrassedly.
