Chapter 1208 How could I joke about something like this?
Chu Xue had originally prepared a red envelope containing sixteen yuan, but now she was unhappy. When she took out the red envelope, she used her mind to pull out the ten-yuan note, leaving only six yuan in the red envelope.
Seeing her younger brother sucking his little hand in Xia Qiu's arms through the glass, a touch of tenderness welled up in her heart.
This little guy is quite capable; he immediately caught Chu Xue's eye. She couldn't help but think to herself: if the little guy isn't spoiled and raised badly in the future, then it wouldn't hurt to lend him a hand when the time is right.
Chu Xue handed the red envelope in her hand to Miao Yiqiu beside her: "Auntie, could you please put it on my little brother's swaddling clothes?"
When Xiao's mother saw that Chu Xue had indeed given her a red envelope, her face was full of smiles.
As they were talking, Xiao's father returned pushing his bicycle.
Fu Yancheng spoke first: "Dad, you're back."
Chu Xue turned around and saw that Xiao's father looked exhausted, so she couldn't help but ask, "Did you work overtime today? Why are you back at this hour?"
When Xiao's father heard Chuxue's question, an unnatural look flashed across his face.
This little action naturally did not escape Chu Xue's eyes.
Mr. Xiao turned around, parked his bicycle, and then said, "I helped a friend with some things, so I came back late."
But he looked guilty when he said that.
This made Chu Xue wary: she had only been enjoying these good days for a few days, and she was afraid something might go wrong.
She looked up at Fu Yancheng and saw him nod slightly and mouth: We'll talk about it later.
Even Fu Yancheng could see it, and now Chu Xue was even more certain that Xiao's father was hiding something from the family. Judging from his expression, it probably wasn't a good thing.
Miao Yiqiu brought the red envelope into the house and then hurried out. It was almost noon, and she needed to prepare lunch quickly.
Chu Xue gave Fu Yancheng a wink, then followed her aunt into the kitchen, leaving Fu Yancheng there to try and extract information from him.

Meanwhile, Section Chief Li made a special trip home at noon.
When her husband saw her return, he looked surprised and asked, "Why are you back?"
Section Chief Li parked his bicycle and glanced around the yard: "I'm back to take care of some business."
After saying that, she gave her husband a wink: Come on, let's go inside and talk.
After all, they lived in a large courtyard. Although there were only three families living in the middle courtyard, there were some things that were not easy to say in front of others.
After the couple went inside, Section Chief Li glanced into the yard, and only looked away when she saw that no one was coming out.
Seeing her acting so mysteriously, her husband asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
As Section Chief Li turned around, an excited smile lit up his face: "Xu Changhai, I have some good news for you."
Xu Changhai reached out and touched his wife's forehead: "Hmm, no fever."
Section Chief Li slapped his hand away: "I'm talking to you about serious business."
Section Chief Li usually doesn't go home for lunch, but today his wife was acting strangely: "Okay, okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
But after saying that, he muttered under his breath, "I want to see what good thing made you run back in the middle of the day."
Section Chief Li lowered his voice and said, "Your factory manager wants to find a job for his son, right? I have a job here, that's fine."
Xu Changhai's eyes lit up immediately after hearing his wife's words: "Are you serious?"
Section Chief Li rolled her eyes at her husband: "How could I joke about something like this?"
Xu Changhai quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it was my fault. I was so surprised that I said the wrong thing. My dear wife, please don't hold it against me."
Section Chief Li rolled his eyes again: "Alright, stop joking. You'd better get this sorted out this afternoon. The person taking over the position is a junior high school graduate. Don't try to fool people with this job."
