Chapter 159 Thoughts

Chen Yuan is a very traditional and upright man. He goes to places like entertainment cities, but never does anything out of line. He is very gentle to his wife and daughter at home. He is a very traditional man, which makes Mrs. Chen feel at ease.

Mrs. Chen asked Du Ruo in a low voice: "When do you plan to get married?"

"Let's talk about it later. I'm busy, and he's busy too. I'm not considering this for now."

"Didn't he?"

"I mentioned it, but I always feel it's unnecessary. Let's talk about it later."

Mrs. Chen disagreed. She said, "Get married quickly and live a good life. What's the point of this?"

Du Ruo changed the subject and said, "Yu Min mentioned you yesterday and said she wanted to invite you to go to the farmers' market to buy something. What are you two going to buy?"

During the years that Yu Min was at the Du family, she got along very well with Du Ruo and the children. She was wholeheartedly kind to the Du family, and Du Ruo also truly treated her as a family member.

"Hey, there's a new meat processor at the farmers' market. The meat tastes good. Lingling and your two kids like it. We wanted to go check it out and see if we can steal some of his skills so we can come back and make some for the kids."

"If you want to eat it, just buy it. It's their specialty. How can I tell you so easily? There's no need to do this."

"It's not about money. She has good skills, but what she makes are mass-market products after all, which is not so reassuring. We are thinking of learning a little from her secretly so that we can buy things ourselves without any worries. I won't learn from her in vain. I have already made an agreement with her that we will not do business, but cook for ourselves and pay for her tuition."

Du Ruo smiled.

"It's not cheap, is it? How much have you bought with the money you used to pay for tuition? Do you know how to live?"

"You are just like our Lao Chen. You have a lot of money in your mouth when you do business. You have to weigh the pros and cons of everything. Lao Chen said the same thing when he heard it. I don't care about that. I just want to do what's good for the children."

Du Ruo waved her hands and stopped talking. They could not continue the communication.

At dinner time, Lingling took the two children to wash their hands, and the two families sat around a large table.

When the dumplings were served on the table, Yuan Tingchuan's eyes lit up. The dumplings tasted very homely, different from what he usually ate. Dumplings were not served at formal banquets and were rarely made at home. Although the things made in large kitchens were exquisite, they did not have this kind of homely flavor.

"What's the filling? It's really good."

"It's stuffed with wild vegetables. I'm giving you something fresh to eat. It didn't cost me a penny. Please don't reject it."

Du Ruo said, "What are you complaining about? Sister-in-law, you spent a whole day digging wild vegetables, which is much more thoughtful than buying them with money. You are a great contributor, so have an extra dumpling." As she spoke, she used the clean chopsticks beside her to pick up a dumpling for Sister-in-law Chen and put it in the bowl.

Mrs. Chen's face was smiling like a flower. She had worked hard all day, and everyone was happy, and she was happy too. Her happiness was so simple.

There was some deep meaning in Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. It was not tiring to get along with someone like Mrs. Chen. It was simple and without any unnecessary thoughts. It was really good. It was a rare opportunity to relax.

The two children had never eaten dumplings with this kind of filling before, and they ate them without even raising their heads. Han Zhe finished this one and wanted to have another one.

"Auntie Chen, can I eat this next time?"

"Yes, next time you come, Auntie Chen will make you some dumplings. Not only dumplings, but also meatballs."

Han Zhe was happy. He nodded his head frantically without stopping to stuff dumplings into his mouth.

Yuan Shurui glanced at his father. Yesterday, his father told him to go back to Gangcheng next month because his grandfather was going to have his birthday, and he wanted him to go back and be with him. He didn't want to go back and wanted to stay here.

Seeing that the child was really willing to eat, Mrs. Chen finished her meal and went into the kitchen. She put the remaining wild vegetables in her pocket, intending to give them to Du Ruo later.

Chen Yuan was talking to Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan about the engineering project.

"According to President Du's suggestion, Xingwang Village is preparing according to Dongsheng Village. However, it is not a good idea to make a big show of it. I am still a little unsure. You said that they are working hard over there. I heard that the first phase of the relocation project has been completed. It is really a thunderous and powerful move. The three relocated villages have moved out and the construction teams have moved in. This matter seems to be set in stone. Can it be changed?"

Chen Yuan was really a little worried. Although President Du kept telling him to wait patiently, how long would he have to wait? The project had already started, and he couldn't think of any other circumstances that would stop it.

Du Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. Just take care of my garbage pit. I have to go to the countryside soon. I will clean it up when I come back. Once I clean up this garbage pit, your project will be ready."

Chen Yuan rubbed his hands nervously. He had indeed been a little worried recently. He had already figured out that the broken porcelain in the garbage pit must be an antique and was very important to President Du, but he was different from President Du.

To Ms. Du, whether it is the antique city or the construction company, or even the financial company and the security company, they are all Ms. Du's own transactions, and there is no difference to her.

But he was the person in charge of the construction company, so naturally his heart was on the side of the construction company. He had always been worried that Mr. Du had given up the project in Dongsheng Village because of the antique, and he felt quite uneasy.

Du Ruo saw through Chen Yuan's thoughts, and she smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't you want to think about it? What is the relationship between me and Han Ming? Can I give him such a big benefit? Even if I like the garbage pit here, I can do both at the same time. It's not impossible to get both pieces of land. We are not without money. There is really a reason here that cannot be told. You will know it after a while."

Since Du Ruo said this, Chen Yuan naturally felt relieved. He said embarrassedly, "Don't bother with a rough guy like me. I just didn't think straight for a moment. I really want to do it for the good of the company."

Du Ruo knew that Brother Chen was not a bad person. In fact, he had doubts in his heart for a long time, but he was still willing to follow his own way. He was a very sensible person.

Coming out of Chen's house, the two children were leaning on the car seats and playing. Yuan Tingchuan's eyes were half-closed, and his head was leaning on Du Ruo's shoulder. He had just drunk a little wine with Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan had developed a good drinking capacity in the army and liked to drink white wine, which has a high alcohol content and is easy to get drunk. Yuan Tingchuan's face felt a little hot. If it weren't for the children here, he would have especially wanted to lean on Du Ruo to get some coolness.

He rubbed Du Ruo's shoulder aggrievedly. Du Ruo knew what he meant and reached out to pat him twice soothingly.
