Huo Changgen was not angry when he heard Li Xiangyun scolding him.
He still smiled and found a stool to sit down.
He looked at Yun Ningyan: "Ningning, what's this? It's delicious."
Yun Ningyan said calmly, "This is a birthday cake."
Upon hearing the word "birthday cake," Huo Changgen immediately realized what it meant and exclaimed in surprise, "I remember it's supposed to be the third brother's birthday, isn't it today?"
No one spoke.
Huo Changgen was starting to feel like he couldn't hold on any longer.
At this moment, the captain laughed and said, "Changgen, you've come to the right place. It's Lao San's birthday today, so we've come to join in the fun."
He then winked at Huo Changgen.
Huo Changgen nodded quickly.
He chuckled and said to Li Xiangyun, "Look at you, it's your child's birthday and you didn't even tell me."
Li Xiangyun glared at him: "We were having a good time, what are you doing here? There's no food for you."
"Let's go quickly."
The captain quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, that's not right of you. Now that Changgen is here, there's no reason for him to leave!"
As he spoke, he pulled Huo Changgen to sit down next to him and gave Huo Junshan a look, signaling him to pour Huo Changgen a glass of wine.
But Huo Junshan acted as if he hadn't seen it and remained motionless.
The captain was worried, so he took the wine and poured a glass for Huo Changgen.
"Changgen, come on, let's have a go, you two brothers."
The captain had already pulled everyone to sit down, so Huo Junshan couldn't say anything more.
Since Huo Junshan had agreed, Yun Ningyan naturally wouldn't object.
Aside from his actions regarding Huo Changlan, where he went a bit too far, Huo Changgen was actually quite a good person in other situations.
He was brainwashed quite thoroughly by Huo Changlan.
If you stay away from Huo Changlan in the future, you'll gradually realize what's going on.
Although Huo Junshan didn't kick him out, he didn't treat him well either, and hardly ever spoke to him.
Huo Changgen and the captain chatted.
Huo Jianshe, Yang Dasheng, and Huo Junshan chatted.
Zhang Guihua, Li Xiangyun, and Yun Ningyan were busy eating their food.
After a few drinks, Huo Changgen started to get a little tipsy.
He began to cry to the captain about how badly he had been doing lately.
He said he had let down the children and Xiangyun.
The group looked at each other, unsure who had burst out laughing first.
Then a burst of exaggerated laughter rang out in the courtyard.
Yun Ningyan suspected that Huo Changgen did it on purpose.
In the end, Huo Changgen was pulled away by Li Xiangyun.
Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng drank quite a bit, and Yang Dasheng said he wasn't leaving.
I'll leave tomorrow.
It was already dark by then, and he was a little scared as he rode his bicycle home alone.
Huo Junshan didn't want him to stay at their house, but Yang Dasheng was a little drunk, and it wouldn't be safe for him to go home alone late at night.
So he simply took Yang Dasheng to the front and let him sleep in the same room as Huo Jianshe.
When Huo Jianshe saw that his third brother had brought people over and asked him to take care of them, he immediately refused.
"Third Brother, I can't handle him, please take him away! He's so drunk, how am I supposed to deal with him?"
Huo Junshan ignored him, directly helped Yang Dasheng lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then swaggered away while Huo Jianshe was still resisting.
Huo Jianshe glared angrily at Yang Dasheng from inside the room.
When Huo Junshan returned, Yun Ningyan had already taken a bath, left the space, and was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) waiting for him.
She originally wanted to wash all the dishes outside, but Huo Junshan told her not to before he left, saying he would clean them up when he got up the next morning.
Huo Junshan put his arm around Yun Ningyan's waist and leaned in to kiss her on the lips.
Yun Ningyan quickly dodged: "No! Go take a shower, you smell of alcohol."
Huo Junshan said, feeling wronged, "Okay, I'll go wash up. Wait for me, I'm coming in."
He entered the space in a flash.
Half an hour later, Huo Junshan emerged from the space, his hair still dripping wet.
Holding a towel and drying her hair, Yun Ningyan lay down when she saw him come out.
I've been working all day, and only now am I starting to feel a little tired.
Huo Junshan casually wiped the water off his head, felt it was almost dry, put down the towel in his hand, and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Yun Ningyan closed her eyes; she was almost asleep.
Huo Junshan lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and his first action was to pull the person into his arms.
Yun Ningyan buried her head in his chest and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Huo Junshan chuckled and patted her back: "Go to sleep, I'll just hold you and we won't do anything."
Yun Ningyan snuggled closer to him, her breathing gradually becoming longer and more even.
Huo Junshan also closed his eyes to sleep, but his large hands remained wrapped around the woman in his arms, never letting go.
When Yun Ningyan woke up in the morning, Huo Junshan had already gotten up and gone to work.
The school is not finished yet. He has been building buildings at the school recently, but the classrooms are almost finished. Only the teachers' offices are not yet completed.
It should be ready in a few more days.
Yun Ningyan got up late, but she still went to the fields.
She only went after everyone else had been working for over an hour.
Some people started to complain.
Especially Yao Qingqing and the others had been working for half a day before Yun Ningyan finally arrived.
She glared at Yun Ningyan resentfully.
She wanted to say something to provoke Yun Ningyan, but her mother kept giving her meaningful looks, telling her not to cause trouble.
Yun Ningyan went to find the team leader and asked her which plot of land she was working on today.
The captain chuckled, "Ningning, why don't you go back? Lao San has already told me that you're taking the day off."
Yun Ningyan blinked. When did she ever say she wouldn't come to work?
How could this guy make such a decision on his own?
"Third sister-in-law, you're really enjoying yourself. We've been working for half a day, and you're only just starting work now. Are you doing this on purpose?"
She paused for a moment, her eyes showing utter disdain for Yun Ningyan, her posture haughty: "I think you are not worthy of my third brother at all."
Yun Ningyan was so angry she laughed.
Whether she's good enough or not, why do we need to ask this annoying person?
She retorted without hesitation: "What's it to you? You can't even manage your own little corner of the world, yet you're meddling in my business. Who do you think you are?"
Yao Qingqing pointed at Yun Ningyan's nose and yelled, "I just can't stand you! All you do is slack off all day long, leaving all the work to my third brother. He's really unlucky to have married you!"
Yun Ningyan sneered, crossing her arms: "You really have eaten too much salt, daring to meddle in the captain's affairs. The captain hasn't even said anything, why are you so eager? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the captain."
Yao Qingqing!
That damn Yun Ningyan, what nonsense is she spouting?
She glanced nervously at the captain, who was standing there staring at her.
The captain initially didn't believe Li Xiangyun's words, but now that Yao Qingqing was standing right in front of him, he could see it clearly.
No wonder Changgen's family split up because of those idiots.
Changgen is also confused; he can't even see a person clearly.
He deserves his bad luck.
The brigade leader roared, "Who are you talking to! You think you're in charge of the brigade? She's your third sister-in-law, how dare you talk to her like that? Is this how your mother always taught you?"
