Chapter 258 Afternoon Tea
"Hey, didn't I tell you to put on your socks? Why aren't you wearing them?" he asked when he saw the socks placed aside still lying there intact.
Shen An exclaimed, "Why do I have to wear socks at home? I don't go out."
"No, you walk barefoot on the ground every day. You must wear socks."
As he spoke, he took the socks, pulled Shen An's feet out of the quilt and put on the socks for her.
She felt a little uncomfortable lying on the bed in her socks, so she secretly pulled off her socks when Yanluhe wasn't paying attention.
Shen An's pregnancy made the Yan family very happy. They hadn't had a child for a long time, and Aunt Chen held a meeting overnight. The importance of this meeting made Shen An a little scared.
Last night, Shen An felt a little surprised when listening to what Mother Chen said. She was just pregnant and not a fragile person.
"You two should go back to the old house and live here tomorrow. Xiao Shen is pregnant now and needs someone to take care of her. I am relatively free, so I will take care of her."
After she finished speaking, Mother Chen looked at Shen An and said, "Xiao Shen, you should put your job on hold for now. Wait until your period is stable before going back to work, okay?"
She asked Shen An in a negotiating tone, which made Shen An a little unsure of what to do. Her law firm had just started and was in its busiest stage, and she couldn't abandon her employees and leave.
Yan Cheng also said, "I also think that I should wait for three months before going back to work. You can always find a job."
The two elders handed over all the responsibilities to Yan Luhe, and now they are at home raising fish, planting flowers, and playing cards with their friends, enjoying a very leisurely time.
"Let me think about it. The company has just started." Shen An did not agree directly and planned to go back to think about it. The company was at such an important moment and she could not leave.
"Okay, think about it carefully." The two elders didn't force her.
But Mother Chen felt sorry for her when she saw that she had lost a lot of weight due to running around for company matters.
It's not that she doesn't want Shen An to completely give up her work and stay at home to take care of the baby, she just doesn't want Shen An to be too tired.
In the end, the decision was left to Shen An to see what decision she would make.
Until now she didn't know what to do. Actually she wanted to go to work, but she also felt that what Mother Chen said was right.
After eating the fruit, Shen An got out of bed to wash her hands. When she came back to lie on the bed, Yan Luhe saw her bare feet again.
"You took it off again, you just want to piss me off." Yan Luhe stopped working, stood up, walked over and hugged her, "It's cold now, the winter in H City is different from the winter in B City. You will catch a cold if you don't keep warm." Yan Luhe explained to her.
But Shen An didn't take it seriously. He pushed him away, lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and continued playing with his phone. When he got tired, he threw the phone aside and went to sleep.
After finishing his math homework, Heng Heng just lay there playing with his pen. There were still fifteen minutes before the test ended. At this moment, he just felt extremely bored.
The teacher saw him like this and came down to remind him: "Have you finished writing?"
"Check it carefully after you finish writing it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the time again and saw that there were still 15 minutes left, so she reminded everyone, "Everyone, the exam will end in 15 minutes, so everyone should do your homework well."
"Check carefully after you finish it."
The fifteen minutes passed quickly, and after hearing the end of the exam, Hengheng, who was sitting in the back row, immediately picked up the test papers of his row one by one and placed them on the podium.
After finishing everything, he immediately packed up and prepared to go home, but found his head teacher waiting outside.
After teachers of various subjects assigned homework one after another, the head teacher talked about some safety issues during the winter vacation. After that, he asked some children to stay behind to clean up and the others could go back.
After Xiaohua packed up her things, she looked at the paper in her hand and after hesitating for a moment, she put it in Hengheng's schoolbag.
After putting it away, she put on her backpack and prepared to go back, but her head teacher called her to the office. Her mother was already processing the transfer procedures for her, and it seemed that she would leave City B before the Chinese New Year.
"Teacher Li, why did you ask her to go to the office to do that?" Hengheng, who was originally helping them clean, asked when he saw Xiaohua following Teacher Li.
Teacher Li replied: "If there is something wrong, please clean up well."
When they got to the office, Teacher Li talked to her for a while and then she took out a bag from her drawer and gave it to her, saying, "Chinese New Year is coming soon. Your mother said you don't plan to spend the New Year in City B. I'm giving this to you. Even if the weather is cold, you have to wear your socks or you'll get frostbite."
"Thank you, teacher."
It was Teacher Li’s first time to teach students. She had a good impression of Xiaohua, but she didn’t expect that she would meet such a father.
She could only hope that Xiaohua would live a good life in the future.
"Go back, and be careful on the road."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Xiaohua left the office and Hengheng was standing outside, apparently waiting for her to come out.
"What does Teacher Li want to talk to you about?" Seeing her come out, Hengheng looked at her and asked.
"Nothing."
The two of them walked quietly to the school gate. When they got there, Heng Heng looked at her and said, "Can I come and play with you during the New Year this year?"
"Let's go skiing together. I don't know how to ski and neither do you. It's just right that we can learn together." Hengheng said happily.
Xiaohua wanted to refuse because she would be leaving soon. But seeing his burning gaze, she couldn't say no for a moment. She said, "We'll see when the time comes. I don't know if I have the time."
"good!"
Hengheng said goodbye to her while sitting in the car. Xiaohua waved to him, but Hengheng, who was sitting in the car, had never expected that they would be separated for so many years.
"Let's go." Chuncha took the vegetables and held Xiaohua's hand and said, "Let's go home and make something delicious."
"OK."
When Hengheng came back, he threw his schoolbag on the chair and ran out to practice skateboarding. He really likes skateboarding so much that it has become a habit.
"Hengheng, come here, Mommy has good news for you." After seeing Hengheng, Gu Fei reached out to him and asked him to come over.
"What's wrong?"
"Your mother Shen is pregnant. Soon you will not only have a younger sister but also a younger brother or sister." Gu Fei told him.
Hengheng didn't expect that Shen's mother was pregnant. He immediately asked, "Then...will she stay in Shen's mother's belly for a long time like her sister?"
"right."
"Okay, that's still a long time." He said and walked out with his skateboard.
In the evening, he opened his schoolbag and took out his winter vacation homework. He saw a note, but he didn't open it and threw it into the corner of the desk.
He finished his winter vacation homework seriously so that he could have a good time.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is working hard just to be able to go home and have a good time during the New Year.
The streets were filled with happy New Year songs, and it was noisy.
The Chinese New Year is almost two weeks away. Those who want to buy New Year’s goods should do so, and those who want to go home to celebrate the New Year should go home to celebrate the New Year.
This is Gu Fei's first New Year since she returned. In the past, when she and Xu Hai celebrated the New Year, they would just kill chickens and worship his ancestors, and then go out for a walk. He would also bring things to the temple to worship Buddha.
This year Xu Hai will also go back to worship his ancestors. This is the custom there.
He hadn't been back home for a long time, so he had to go back to the village. Neighbors from the other side of the village called him and asked him when he would be back, and asked him to bring them some things.
He agreed to buy some things that were not available in the county town.
The things they asked him to buy were all essentials for the old man, so he took as much as he could.
Hengheng was particularly sad when he knew that he was going to go back home and not spend the New Year at home. He hugged his thigh and said, "Can you not go back and spend the New Year together?"
Xu Hai shook his head and said, "No, I want to go back and worship my ancestors."
Seeing that he refused, there was nothing I could do.
"I'll try to come back early so you can have fun." Xu Hai touched his head and went out with the list.
I bought everything the old man wanted and will go home tomorrow.
In the supermarket, songs were playing and the word "Fu" was hung everywhere, and the atmosphere of the New Year was instantly created.
There were so many people buying New Year's goods that it was a bit crowded walking in the supermarket. There was an even longer queue at the checkout area. Xu Hai pushed the shopping cart in and went straight to the things the elderly needed to buy.
Milk powder and diapers are also needed. Wheelchairs and crutches are also needed for the elderly.
After buying these, he pushed the shopping cart to the New Year's goods area, which was filled with some snacks for tasting, and he didn't know what tasted good.
I just bought some and took them back.
He bought a lot and wanted to buy more, but he was afraid that they would expire if he couldn't finish them, so he went home.
Gu Fei went with Huang Xin to attend an afternoon tea party. She sat there with a bulging belly, drinking milk. Since she didn't know these people, she could only sit there awkwardly.
Some people look down on Gu Fei and think that she was able to marry Song Tingxuan just by luck.
When Huang Xin went to the bathroom, they stopped pretending and looked Gu Fei up and down while holding their coffee. Someone started to mock him, "A woman like this can marry Mr. Song. I don't know if he is blind or she is too attractive."
"If it were me, I would be too ashamed to go out if she relied on her child to get to the top, but she dared to do that."
“How shameless.”
Gu Fei heard every word of these words. She looked at them with the cup of milk in her hand. Instead of feeling guilty, they became even more proud.
Everyone looked at her with tinted glasses, some even covered their mouths lightly, and everyone had a mocking look on their face.
Gu Fei didn't care when he saw them like this. Some girls who were around Huang Xin's age even showed their disgust on their faces.
They were quite resistant to Gu Fei's entry into their aristocratic circle. Look at her dress, she doesn't look like a lady at all, it's really embarrassing for the Song family.
Today, Gu Fei is wearing more clothes, which are a bit old-fashioned. But this way of dressing has its advantages, it is warm.
She doesn't care about other people's eyes, as long as she wears something comfortable and warm.
"It's so unsophisticated. I really don't know how Song Tingxuan could like this woman and live with her for so long."
I don't know who said it, but the voice was very loud, especially in the afternoon tea when people were whispering to each other.
Everyone's eyes turned to the person who was speaking. Gu Fei didn't know who this person was, but he just saw that she was chatting quite well with Huang Xin.
Maybe it was because I chatted too much with Huang Xin that I became a little reckless.
After all, she had been there for so long, and except for the beginning when Huang Xin pulled out a chair for her to sit down and poured her a glass of milk, he hadn't spoken to her at all.
She thought Huang Xin didn't like Gu Fei.
earth?
Gu Fei looked down at his own attire, a white down jacket and black pants. Although it was not as good-looking as the others who were wearing skirts, stockings and shawls.
But among so many beauties wearing skirts, she does look quite ugly in this way.
I can't say it directly, she is afraid of cold, her hands and feet are cold in winter. Gu Fei puts on a hot pack next to her clothes and autumn pants in winter to feel warm.
"I think so too. If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to go out." Someone agreed. When Huang Xin was not around, they would just complain about bullying Gu Fei.
Someone said it was open, and they kept talking about Gu Fei here.
As for the person involved, Gu Fei, he simply drank the milk in the cup and then smashed it to the ground.
Glass fragments flew everywhere, and everyone was shocked by her action.
"The real boss is here, can you please keep your voice down when you talk?" She looked around and said coldly, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"This is the truth. Are you so angry because you think what I said is right?" The man stood up and looked at her with disdain in his eyes.
Gu Fei said with a smile on his face: "Are you Song Tingxuan, or did Song Tingxuan whisper in your ear that I embarrassed him?"
"How I dress is my business. What are you guys discussing here?"
"It's the 21st century now. The foot binding has been wrapped around the head. Do you understand the meaning of freedom of dress?"
After saying this, she sneered, "This is not a formal occasion. Do I have to wear a thin skirt and a shawl like this beautiful lady? It's more than ten degrees below zero now, and the heating here is not very good."
"It's sometimes warm and sometimes cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu Fei retorted to them all, and Huang Xin also spoke up at this time, "My daughter-in-law can wear whatever she wants, why are you saying so much?"
She looked at everyone coldly. Huang Xin was usually approachable, but she had a hot temper when she was young. It was only when she reached middle age that she learned to be humble. Now these people said that her daughter-in-law was not good, and she would not get used to them.
"My daughter-in-law is weak, not as strong as you." She came over to support her daughter-in-law and said to them. After saying this, she held Gu Fei's hand and said, "Walk slowly, there are broken glass."
"Okay, Mom."
Looking at the two of them getting along, there's nothing wrong with them; it's simply too good to be true.
After Huang Xin took Gu Fei's hand and left, the people who came to participate in this afternoon tea also left one after another, and the faces of the people who organized this afternoon tea turned gloomy.
If I had known this, I would not have offended Gu Fei. Who would have thought that a woman who was not even a third-rate rich person could be so liked by the Song family.
