Chapter 494 The Grand Finale
His eyes were filled with worry: "I raised my daughter to this age, and she's finally gotten married."
Shen Zhixia said speechlessly, "She married into the family next door. You can see her anytime you want."
If Da Bao were to marry far away, Shen Zhixia would probably be sad because she wouldn't see her for a long time. But since Da Bao is marrying someone from next door, there's nothing to be sad about.
She thought Huo Chenzhou was just being too pretentious.
Shen Zhixia asked, "Would you be sad if Xiaobao got married?"
Huo Chenzhou immediately said, "No, I need to find him a partner right away and get him married as soon as possible. Otherwise, he's always in front of us, it's so annoying."
Shen Zhixia: "You really have double standards."
Huo Chenzhou said, "It's because his job is so easy that he always stays at home."
Xiao Bao opened a pet shop. He opens the shop at 10 a.m. every day and closes it at 5 p.m. He doesn't open it on weekends.
Huo Chenzhou had expressed his opposition to this. He said that he was a shop owner and yet he was closing the shop on weekends. People like to go shopping on weekends, and if Xiao Bao closed the shop, how would he make money?
However, Xiao Bao earns money and can at least cover his own living expenses without any problem, which Huo Chenzhou finds utterly contemptible.
He said, "How can someone his age sleep? He should be striving! Working hard! Creating a good life. He can't be too lazy. When I was his age, I wouldn't have slept until ten o'clock."
Xiao Bao retorted, "I got up at 9:30, but I arrived at the store at 10:00 to open."
"Sleep is very important for young people nowadays. If I don't get a good night's sleep, my life and the good qualities I possess will be taken away."
Huo Chenzhou couldn't argue with him, so he could only complain to Shen Zhixia, but Shen Zhixia actually thought that Xiaobao was doing a good job.
She didn't have high expectations for Xiao Bao. As long as Xiao Bao could grow up healthy, Shen Zhixia would be satisfied. Besides, Xiao Bao hadn't made any major mistakes; he just didn't have much ambition.
Who expects everyone to have a strong drive to improve themselves?
Shen Zhixia actually thinks that it's good enough for Xiaobao to be healthy and happy.
Huo's mother liked Xiaobao very much and thought that Xiaobao was just fine as he was. Therefore, she scolded Huo Chenzhou: "You have too high expectations for the child."
Huo Chenzhou: "?"
Really? Is it really because his expectations for his child are too high?
Whether it was true or not, Xiao Bao was very proud of himself, and Huo Chenzhou was also helpless. From then on, he never urged Xiao Bao to work hard, since Xiao Bao wouldn't listen anyway.
In the middle of the night, Huo Chenzhou suddenly woke up. After waking up, he tossed and turned, and Shen Zhixia woke up as well.
Shen Zhixia wrapped herself up in a ball and said helplessly, "What are you thinking about in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Huo Chenzhou said in surprise, "I was very careful, how did I still wake you up? I didn't make a sound."
Shen Zhixia said, "You didn't make a sound, but you kept fanning yourself. I'm freezing."
Huo Chenzhou immediately stopped moving, his tone filled with remorse: "I'm sorry, wife, I didn't mean to."
"Okay, then go back to sleep," Shen Zhixia said.
But it's easier said than done. After Shen Zhixia woke up, she found that she couldn't fall back asleep at all.
She got up and said, "I can't sleep, I'm going to take a shower."
"good."
After Shen Zhixia finished showering, she noticed that it was almost dawn outside.
She decided not to sleep and instead chatted with Huo Chenzhou.
Huo Chenzhou said, "I've already found people to do the renovations. They'll all be done in the style that Da Bao likes. I've also had several sets of the kind of tables she likes made."
Shen Zhixia said, "Why sit at so many tables? You only need to sit at one."
“That won’t do. There needs to be one in her room, as well as a dining table, a dressing table, and a tea table in the yard.”
After listening to what he said, Shen Zhixia nodded: "That's good."
Huo Chenzhou said, "Make a list, and I'll ask her tomorrow if she needs anything else."
Shen Zhixia said, "You should also ask Rao Che's opinion."
Huo Chenzhou said indifferently, "I asked Rao Che, and he said he didn't care, as long as Da Bao likes it."
“He’s quite nice, but that might just be polite talk. I’ll ask him about his hobbies later,” Shen Zhixia said.
Huo Chenzhou immediately said, "That won't do. If he dares to say anything polite, then he doesn't deserve to be with Da Bao."
Shen Zhixia glanced at him and said helplessly, "Comrade Huo Chenzhou, how come I never noticed before that you have such high standards for your son-in-law? You look like a wicked mother-in-law now, picking and choosing, it's terrifying. Don't forget that back then, you were clearly trying to matchmake Rao Che, and you were so satisfied with Rao Che."
Huo Chenzhou said, "I think Rao Che is very good, but dating and marriage are different. Actually, I wanted to continue to observe Rao Che more carefully, but who knew they would decide to get married. It really caught me off guard."
"Let's get married. What do you need to prepare?" Shen Zhixia asked.
"I also needed to be mentally prepared for this sudden marriage. My daughter got married so quickly, sigh."
Shen Zhixia wasn't planning to sleep, but listening to Huo Chenzhou's usual ramblings, she yawned and said, "Comrade Huo Chenzhou, go to sleep."
She can still take a nap for half an hour before getting up to go to work.
Huo Chenzhou responded with an "oh".
There were a lot of people at Da Bao's wedding banquet.
The wedding was held in a high-end hotel.
Both Huo Chenzhou and Rao Qingsong's families have a lot of relatives and friends.
Not only did many relatives come that day, but also many friends. There were many people who wanted to curry favor with both families, so there were a lot of guests.
There are many people here that Da Bao doesn't even know.
But it was lively, very lively.
Huo Chenzhou was initially a little sad, but at the wedding banquet, he appeared very happy.
That's a really good thing.
Rao Qingsong was also very happy. He drank a lot of wine and was quite drunk. He said to Huo Chenzhou, "We have finally become in-laws."
Huo Chenzhou was also pleased: "Yes, I think Xiao Che and our Da Bao are a good match."
Rao Qingsong said regretfully, "It's a pity we don't have twins, otherwise we could get engaged to your Xiaobao as well, that would be even better."
Xiao Bao, who was not far away, was also drunk. He had only drunk one glass of wine, but he was inexperienced and his face was all red, making him look very funny.
Huo Chenzhou then said, "Do you have a suitable partner? If so, you can introduce him to this kid. This kid is really annoying."
He and Shen Zhixia were doing well, but Xiao Bao was always there, a huge third wheel, which was really annoying.
Rao Qingsong smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll take a look at him."
Huo Chenzhou smiled when he thought about Xiao Bao getting married soon.
However, this smile came a little too soon, because Xiao Bao went on blind dates but never got married, as if there was no one he liked at all, which was really frustrating.
After that, Xiao Bao lived with them for many, many years.
He was very happy, always coming home cheerful. Da Bao from next door would bring over delicious food he made. Gradually, Xiao Bao became rounder, giving off a feeling of contentment and plumpness.
Xiao Bao lives a much freer life than anyone else.
Finally, Huo Chenzhou realized something was wrong. He said seriously, "Dabao's child is already three years old, and what about you? You're still single. Let me tell you, if you can't find a partner this year, then get out of here and don't stay here."
Xiao Bao asked in confusion, "But Grandma tells me to live freely. She says that as long as I'm happy, it doesn't matter whether I get married or not."
"She is her, and I am me. If you can't find a partner, then don't come home."
Huo Chenzhou threw his luggage out and chased Xiao Bao away.
Xiao Bao never came back after that.
It didn't disappear.
Xiao Bao still keeps in touch with them, but he hasn't come back.
Huo's mother scolded Huo Chenzhou, but it was no use; Xiao Bao really wasn't coming back this time.
Huo Chenzhou was also frustrated. He hoped that Xiaobao could find a partner and come back, not that he himself was still single outside.
Finally, everyone went out together to look for Xiaobao, hoping that he could come back.
They discovered that Xiao Bao had set up a bed in his pet shop, and he was extremely happy every day. When asked to go back, Xiao Bao shook his head: "No need, I like it here now. I can sleep until ten o'clock every day and just get up to open the door. It's great. Thank you for your advice, Dad."
Huo Chenzhou: "?"
My hands are so itchy, I really want to spank him.
