Chapter 444 Beibei, I am your biological mother!

This is not because Chen Lu's mother is snobbish. She is more afraid that her daughter will suffer after getting married, and she has no intention of taking advantage of the man.

Otherwise, they would not have secretly told Chen Lu's father that they would take out money to buy a house in Guangzhou for their daughter.

After making such a big fuss, Chen Lu's mother felt a little embarrassed and scolded Chen Lu, "You didn't even mention such an important matter, which made your father and I worry that Haotian would retire and go back to the countryside to work as a farmer in a year or two. If we had known that he was the head of the regiment, we wouldn't have been so opposed to it!"

Chen Lu's father said, "Don't bring me into this. I'm not really against it. I just listen to you..."

Chen Lu's mother was furious: "What's wrong with you? Are you planning to make trouble? You didn't object? Now you know how to please your daughter."

Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, Chen Lu quickly said, "Dad, Mom, stop arguing. Whether Haotian is the leader or not, I'm going to marry him anyway. So it doesn't matter whether you say it or not."

Chen Lu's mother sighed and said: "You are still young. In a few years, you will know your mother's intentions. That's okay. Since Haotian is the regiment leader, I heard that the army also has separate houses. When he gets married, he should be able to settle down in Guangzhou, right? If there is no separate house, your father and I will help you with some money, and you can buy one in Guangzhou..."

After hearing this, Chen Lu said, "Mom, you're thinking too far ahead. We haven't even got engaged yet..."

The engagement party was finally held at the Victory Hotel. In addition to the families and relatives of both parties, the superiors and subordinates of Yan Haotian's unit also came to congratulate. Li Zhan also brought Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and Bei Bei, the triplets, and rushed over together, making the party quite lively.

The engagement party is over and New Year will soon be here.

Xia Juanjuan, Li Zhan, the children, and Zhou Qiuhe came back first.

Xia Shuangshan, Lin Yuru and Yan Haotian had not spent the past few years together, so they stayed in Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year. The army also specially arranged two dormitories for them to live in.

Yan Haotian and Chen Lu took advantage of the New Year holiday to accompany them to the flower market, buy New Year goods, and so on, and they had a very happy time.

Here, Xia Juanjuan took Zhou Qiuhe to buy a lot of clothes, including many children's clothes, and asked train freight to transport them back to the county town and Beijing.

Zhou Qiuhe set up a stall here in the county town during the Chinese New Year. It happened to be the New Year holiday when people were buying clothes for their children, so the goods were quickly sold out.

It's similar for Xia Juanjuan in Beijing. After her clothing store put children's clothing on the shelves, it has been crowded with customers. The turnover during the New Year holidays is almost equal to a normal month's turnover!

Although Xia Juanjuan was busy with Yan Haotian's engagement when she went to Guangzhou this time, she still found time to contact Chen Rongsheng and Smith, and bought ten color TVs and other things such as tape recorders.

Pearls were also sold in quantity of 200 pieces.

As for items like color TVs and tape recorders, Dahei was still in charge of selling them.

Last time, Dahei asked Xia Juanjuan to ask about Qi Ningyu. Xia Juanjuan asked, and Qi Ningyu blushed and shook her head, then asked who asked.

Xia Juanjuan did not hide it and told Dahei what she asked.

Things between men and women sometimes depend on fate. Xia Juanjuan also has no intention of playing matchmaker and making random suggestions.

If Qi Ningyu didn't have that intention, she would have just told Dahei and asked him to find another girl. If there was one, then they could develop the relationship further.

After hearing this, Qi Ningyu recalled the time when he met a dark-skinned man at Xia Juanjuan's house. Although he was a little darker, he was tall, and although he was not very handsome, he was also the type of masculine and upright. His heart began to beat fast and his cheeks turned even redder.

Seeing this, Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It seems that Dahei wants to pursue you and be your partner. If you don't want to, I will tell him directly here and I promise that he will never have any improper thoughts in the future. However, if you also think he is okay and there is some possibility, I will tell him that you are still single. Ning Yu, what do you say?"

Qi Ningyu was too embarrassed to look at Xia Juanjuan, and asked shyly: "Sister Juanjuan, what is his...his character like?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Juanjuan knew that there should be some possibility, so she smiled and said:

"I have been in contact with him for several years. He is well-known in the alleys. He is not very gentlemanly or upright, but he has a sense of loyalty like a gangster. He is not a bad person. He is a bit ruffian, but not a scoundrel. He is reliable in his work.

However, his family is not well off, but he is ambitious and has been saving money in recent years in order to get married and start a family. Ning Yu, when you ask this, can I understand that you are willing for him to pursue you? "

Qi Ningyu's face turned even redder, and she covered her face with her hands while trying to straighten her clothes: "I...I won't tell you anymore! I'm still busy! He...whatever he asks, just tell him, Sister Juanjuan!"

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan told Dahei when she met him again.

Dahei was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to help Xia Juanjuan deliver clothes and unload and sort goods to run to the clothing store from time to time, taking the opportunity to get close to Qi Ningyu and talk.

Xia Juanjuan did not interfere any further and let the two of them go and find their own partners.

This year, Chunyan also returned to the county town to celebrate the New Year with her family.

Xia Juanjuan decided not to rush around so much, and would only go to Yuanxiangju and the clothing store occasionally, but she left most of the work to her subordinates. She stayed at home with Li Zhan and the children, and together with Shen Wanxue, Rong Zhenbang, and Yang Qiushi, they made dumplings, fried dumplings, and other delicious food, and spent the New Year leisurely.

After eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lizhan took Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Beibei and the triplets to climb Jingshan Mountain. After climbing Jingshan Mountain, they went ice skating at Houhai Lake near their home.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei had already learned how to skate on the ice wearing ice skates a long time ago.

Lizhan didn't pay attention and concentrated on teaching the triplets how to skate.

Suddenly, I heard Beibei shouting, "Who are you? I don't know you! Let me go!"

Lizhan turned around quickly and saw a gray-haired woman holding Beibei's arm tightly and trying to cover Beibei's mouth, muttering anxiously: "Don't scream! You are Beibei, right? Beibei, I am your real mother!"

Beibei was still struggling, shouting in fear: "You are not my mother! My mother is at home! Let me go!"

Lizhan rushed over and shouted loudly: "Beibei!"

Xiaowen and Xiaowu had slid to the other side of the lake, but now they quickly paddled back, shouting, "Beibei! You crazy woman, let go of my sister!"

When the woman saw Lizhan and then glanced at the two half-grown children who were sliding back, she shuddered and had to let go of Beibei and ran away like a wolf.

Lizhan walked over and grabbed Beibei into his arms, but he looked at the running woman with some hesitation.

He always felt... as if he had seen this woman somewhere before.
