"Lao Wang, Lao Du, why don't we go out for a cigarette?"
Old Ding looked left and right, thinking about going out and hiding. After all, three women are a drama, what if the fire falls on his head?
Comrade Lao Wang and Comrade Lao Du looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
"Wife, you two can chat first. Why don't we go out for a cigarette?"
Comrade Lao Wang asked An Hong with some fear.
"Go, go..."
An Hong waved at Lao Wang without even turning her head, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.
Comrade Lao Du and several others came to the corridor. None of the three spoke, and they all lit a cigarette silently.
After smoking half a cigarette, Lao Ding spoke first.
"Lao Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you? Are you busy lately?"
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other much since you moved to the city. I'm still the same as usual, going to get off work and coming home every day, and the work at the company is pretty much the same as before. How about you, are you busy?"
"I'm okay. I used to go to the office every day, but now I basically don't go there at all. I just show up once a week."
"You're still relaxed..."
Lao Ding and Lao Wang chatted awkwardly for a few more sentences, and Comrade Lao Du smoked a cigarette and listened to the awkward conversation silently.
"Lao Du, why aren't you talking? You're not usually this quiet."
Seeing that Comrade Lao Du had been silent, Lao Ding knew that Comrade Lao Du was a little embarrassed, so he simply pointed it out.
"Haha, this is the first time I've faced such a situation. I don't know what to say..."
Comrade Lao Du smiled dryly and answered dryly.
"Tsk, what else is there? Lao Wang, we're quite familiar with each other, so I won't beat around the bush with you. You know why Lao Du and his wife came here today, so just tell me what you think!"
Old Ding didn't waste any time and directly pointed out the purpose of his visit today.
"I don't have any ideas. I'm just worried that the two children are still too young and it might just be a spur of the moment decision. But it all depends on what our Kiki thinks."
Even though Comrade Lao Wang still felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything and just said that it depended on Wang Luqi's thoughts.
"Hey, don't worry about that. Others may not know, but I can still guarantee that Du Chen is fine. I've watched him grow up, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. He's been like a little adult since he was young, and he's quite mature!"
When Lao Ding heard what Lao Wang was worried about, he immediately started to explain to Lao Wang that he was not just here to watch the fun today, but was at least a supporting role.
"Yeah, I know that. I thought Du Chen was pretty good the first time I saw him..."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Lao Ding asked Comrade Lao Wang in confusion.
"Hey, you didn't know that Qiqi and Du Chen were dating..."
As he spoke, Lao Wang recounted the first time he met Du Chen, which made Lao Ding grin. Comrade Lao Du also laughed foolishly with a cigarette in his mouth.
"I was feeling pretty good, but who would have thought he was here to steal my house!"
In the end, Lao Wang couldn't help but complain.
"Don't worry, Du Chen is a good guy. He has a good personality, is smart, can make money, and is pretty good-looking."
Lao Ding helped Du Chen summarize his strengths, and Comrade Lao Du nodded as he listened.
……………………
In addition to Du Chen, several other women in the room were also chatting animatedly.
"Miaomiao, I never thought that you would become a mother soon. Time flies!"
An Hong looked at Ding Miaomiao's belly and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, it's okay!"
Ding Miaomiao smiled foolishly and couldn't help but touch her belly.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
An Hong asked Ding Miaomiao curiously.
"I don't know. We didn't specifically check to see if it was a boy or a girl. It's the same to us."
Ding Miaomiao answered An Hong that she did not check the gender of the baby. She would wait until the day of delivery. There was still a surprise and expectation.
"That's right, it's the same for boys and girls, but nowadays it's a bit of a shame for a family to have only one."
An Hong said with regret that she had wanted to have another child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, but unfortunately due to the times, she only had Wang Luqi in the end.
"Auntie, we are planning to have another one."
At this time, Ding Miaomiao spoke. She had discussed this issue with Du Bin before. She herself was an only child, and she had always envied those classmates who had older brothers and sisters since she was a child. She thought it was great.
“Isn’t this allowed?”
"Auntie, the policy is not as strict now, unlike before. The worst that can happen is just paying a fine."
Du Chen finally found his sense of existence.
"What about Du Bin's job?"
"Hey, there's no problem at work. At worst, I'll just quit. I'm busy all day and don't make much money anyway. Miaomiao is about to give birth, and I still haven't had a break. I'm still working!"
Ms. Ren Surong said this angrily, expressing her resentment towards Du Bin's unit. Money is the courage of cowards. Now with their family, they completely look down on the little money Du Bin earned from his work.
They chatted for a while before turning the topic to Du Chen and Wang Luqi.
"Du Chen, when school starts soon, Qiqi will become your colleague. Auntie, please take good care of Qiqi. We don't have much of a relationship at school, so we can only rely on Qiqi and you..."
"Sister, you don't need to tell this brat. I've already told Du Chen before that if Qiqi suffers any injustice at school, Du Chen's father and I will not let Du Chen go. Don't worry!"
Ms. Ren Surong took the opportunity to express her and Comrade Lao Du's love for Wang Luqi.
"Sister Ren, I'm sorry to bother you. I just recently found out that you treated Qiqi to meals and took care of her during her vacation in Beijing. It turns out she's so tight-lipped..."
No matter how outstanding their children are, traditional Chinese parents always have to belittle their children when they speak, as if they would feel uncomfortable if they don't say so, for fear that their children will become proud and arrogant.
"No, no, Qiqi is so nice. I just like girls. When I wanted Du Chen, I was thinking of getting a girl, but I didn't expect it to be a boy. A young boy can't be as considerate as a girl!"
Ms. Ren Surong continued to complain about Du Chen, and Du Chen rolled his eyes gloomily. Ding Miaomiao, who was watching the fun, saw Du Chen's expression and covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Girl, look, Du Chen and Qiqi have been classmates since elementary school and have been dating for quite a while. Now both of them have stable jobs. Do you think you two are interested in settling down?"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ms. Ren Surong couldn't help it anymore and asked An Hong, wanting to see An Hong's opinion.
"I don't have any opinion. It depends on what Qiqi thinks!"
Ms. An Hong glanced at Wang Luqi, whose face was flushed red, and thought to herself that a girl cannot be controlled by her mother when she grows up...
