Xu's mother was very satisfied with his answer. Her daughter was her beloved baby, so she naturally didn't want her daughter to suffer any grievances.
"Huo Chen, if you say this, you must do it. You can't just do superficial work."
Huo Chen naturally didn't dare to do that, and said with a sincere look in his eyes: "Don't worry, auntie, I, Huo Chen, will keep my word.
If you can’t do it, you’ll be struck by lightning.”
Xu Ying shook Huo Chen's hand and whispered, "Where's Lao Hui?"
"There are so many people at home, I'm afraid of scaring everyone." Huo Chen's tone became a little disappointed. He wanted to bring Lao Hui with him.
To him, Lao Hui is his second parent. If it weren't for Lao Hui, he might have died long ago.
But Grandma Huo felt that it was not safe to take Lao Hui with her. What if he offended the Xu family?
We can't make jokes on such a happy occasion.
Huo Chen was also afraid that the engagement would be ruined, so he didn't dare to bring Lao Hui with him.
Xu Ying said in a coquettish tone: "Bring Lao Hui here, I miss him."
Speaking of which, when she first met Huo Chen, Lao Hui was there too. Even though he was obviously dying, he was still doing his best to protect Huo Chen.
Moreover, animals are also spiritual. Lao Hui probably already treated Huo Chen as a child.
Huo Chen's eyes flashed, and he was eager to try it, so he nodded.
The two of them sneaked away.
In the Huo family's yard, Lao Hui was lying in the yard, his eyes dull and his voice humming, obviously in a bad mood.
Hearing the familiar footsteps outside, Lao Hui jumped up from the ground instantly and started wagging his tail.
Huo Chen was also very excited when he heard Lao Hui's voice: "Lao Hui..."
"Howl~" Lao Hui shouted joyfully, and jumped directly onto the table in the yard. Then he jumped along the table and jumped over the wall.
When Xu Ying saw Lao Hui, her eyes sparkled.
She stretched out her hand towards Lao Hui. Lao Hui still remembered Xu Ying. He whimpered and lowered his head, rubbing against Xu Ying's hand.
How could you tell from its strange appearance that it is a ferocious wolf? It is clearly as docile as a dog.
When the two of them went back again, they held Lao Hui's hand.
Xu Qingqing happened to see it, and her eyes were full of disgust: "He brought a wolf with him when he got engaged, he must be treating the wolf as his mother.
I didn’t expect my cousin’s future mother-in-law to be a wild wolf.” Xu Qingqing laughed as she spoke.
Xu Ying stared at Xu Qingqing with cold eyes.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a chill coming over her, but she still gritted her teeth and cursed, "What are you looking at? Am I wrong? This wolf saved Huo Chen and raised him for a long time. Isn't she her mother?
Xu Ying, you must respect your future mother-in-law well when the time comes."
Xu Ying quickly walked up to Xu Qingqing, raised her hand, and slapped her in the face: "Xu Qingqing, if you can't speak, just shut your stinky mouth.
Lao Hui has done Huo Chen a favor, we will treat her well, you don't need to worry about it."
Xu Qingqing covered her face with a look of disbelief: "You are just angry and ashamed, otherwise why would you hit me? If you don't want to recognize Lao Hui as your mother, no one will force you.
Do you have to pretend like this?"
"I hit you because you're disgusting. You're not even married yet, but you're still gossiping.
You tell me, when you get married, you will make your in-laws' family restless. I wonder who would be so unlucky to marry a girl like you." After saying this, Xu Ying clapped her hands in disgust.
"Let's go, there's no need to get angry over a dirty thing." Xu Ying said, touching Lao Hui: "You raised Huo Chen, so naturally you are like a reborn parent.
Huo Chen and I will definitely treat you well, Lao Hui."
Lao Hui could sense who was good to it and who was not. Feeling Xu Ying's kindness, it moved closer to Xu Ying.
Grandma Huo's face changed, and she looked at her grandson with disapproval: "Huo Chen, why did you bring it here? Send it back quickly."
"Grandma, it's okay. Old Gray won't bite anyone." Xu Ying said and ran to Xu's mother, coquettishly holding her arm: "Mom, just let Old Gray stay.
Huo Chen's life was saved by Lao Hui when he was a child. Lao Hui is getting older now, and he must want to see Huo Chen complete his life's major events."
Xu's mother had no temper with her daughter, so she nodded in agreement.
There was some cooked meat at home, so Xu Ying directly poured a large bowl of it into Lao Hui.
The little ones in the family looked at Lao Hui with fear and curiosity, and couldn't help but move closer to him.
"Aunt, can I touch Lao Hui?" Shi Tou looked at Xu Ying curiously.
Hu Zi turned his head and looked at Huo Chen: "Uncle-in-law, can I touch it?"
When Huo Chen heard this name, the smile on his face grew wider. He picked up Hu Zi and walked towards Lao Hui.
Hu Zi was a little scared when he saw Lao Hui standing so close to him, and his outstretched hand stopped halfway.
Huo Chen gently comforted her: "It's okay, touch it, little one, your uncle is here!"
When Hu Zi heard this, he stretched out his little hand and touched Lao Hui's body, and immediately grinned: "I touched the big wolf, I am a brave child."
Shi Tou was stunned when he saw this scene. His brother was such a flatterer. He called Huo Chen "brother-in-law" before they even got married. It was too much.
Second uncle said that Huo Chen is just trying to get something for nothing.
Looking at Lao Hui, Shi Tou was in an awkward situation. He wanted to touch him but was afraid. He looked at Hu Zi who was happily touching him, and didn't wait for his reaction.
The children from his second uncle's and third uncle's families also ran over.
Everyone called Huo Chen "Uncle-in-law".
Shitou couldn't bear it anymore and clenched his fists: "Uncle-in-law, I want to touch it too."
Xu Ying burst out laughing instantly: Where has their backbone gone?
Just because of a wolf, people have to change their words, so at least they should get a red envelope.
Just as Xu Ying finished her thought, she saw Huo Chen take out a few red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to each child.
She immediately covered her mouth. Could this guy hear what she was thinking?
"Hurry up and eat. You guys are just sitting together and won't eat." Grandma Xu urged.
The children were afraid of Grandma Xu, so they all ran to their seats and started eating.
The Xu family was in a festive mood, but Director Gu and Director Sun were in a bad mood. Comrade Ma had said at the beginning that it was very simple. Growing wheat seedlings was as easy as playing house.
It has been two days now, and there is still no sign of growth in the wheat seedlings.
Isn't it said that it grows very fast? "When will the wheat seedlings come out?" Director Gu's face was grim. The people of Yu County couldn't wait too long.
Ma Yiguo was attracted by the joyous sounds of the Xu family. Before he expressed his feelings to Xu Ying, she was engaged.
It's so cruel that his love failed before it even began.
"Comrade Xiao Ma, our director is asking you a question!" Director Sun hurriedly patted Ma Yiguo on the shoulder.
Ma Yiguo came back to his senses and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Comrade Ma, when will these wheat seedlings grow well?" Director Gu asked without any temper.
Ma Yiguo said calmly: "It has already sprouted. I think it will be fine in two days. As long as it sprouts, it will grow very quickly. You don't need to worry too much."
