Chen Yuan is a very traditional and upright man. He goes to places like entertainment cities, but he 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 quietly, "When are you planning to get married?"
"Let's talk about it later. I'm busy, and he's busy too. I haven't considered this for now."
"Didn't he mention it?"
"I mentioned it, but I always feel it's unnecessary. Let's talk about it later."
Mrs. Chen looked disapproving. She said, "Get married quickly and live a good life. What's going on?"
Du Ruo changed the subject and said, "Yu Min mentioned you yesterday, saying she wanted to go to the farmers' market with you to get something. What are you two going to buy?"
During the years that Yu Min has been at the Du family, she has gotten along very well with Du Ruo and the children. She is wholeheartedly kind to the Du family, and Du Ruo also truly treats her as a family member.
"Hey, there's a new meat processing business at the farmers' market. The food is delicious. Lingling and your two children both like it. We wanted to go check it out and see if we can steal some of their skills so we can make some for the children."
"If you want to eat it, just buy it. It's their signature dish. Why would I tell you so easily? There's no need to do this."
"It's not about the money. She's a good cook, but after all, she makes common goods, which is not very reassuring. We're thinking of secretly learning a little so that we can buy things ourselves without worrying. I won't learn from her for nothing. I've already agreed with her that we won't do business, but just cook for ourselves and pay her tuition."
Du Ruo smiled.
"It's not cheap, is it? How much have you bought with the money you paid for tuition? Do you guys know how to live or not?"
"You're just like our Old Chen. Your business is all about money. You have to weigh the pros and cons of everything. That's what Old Chen said when he heard it. I don't care about that. I just want to do what's best for the children."
Du Ruo waved her hands and said she would not continue the conversation.
During the meal, Lingling took her two children to wash their hands, and the two families sat at a large table.
When the dumplings were served on the table, Yuan Tingchuan's eyes lit up. These dumplings had a very homely taste, different from what he usually ate. Dumplings were not served at formal banquets and were rarely made at home. Although the ones made in big kitchens were exquisite, they did not have this kind of homely flavor.
"What kind of filling? It's really good."
"It's stuffed with wild vegetables. I'm giving it to you to enjoy. It didn't cost me a penny. Please don't be disgusted by it."
Du Ruo said, "What are you dissatisfied with? Sister-in-law, you have been digging wild vegetables for a whole day, which is much more sincere than buying them with money. You are a great contributor, so have one more dumpling." As she spoke, she used the clean chopsticks next to her to pick up a dumpling for Sister-in-law Chen and put it in her bowl.
Mrs. Chen's face was smiling like a flower. She had worked hard all day. Everyone was happy, and she was happy too. Her happiness was so simple.
There was some deep meaning in the eyes of Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan. It was not tiring to get along with someone like Mrs. Chen. It was simple and without any extra 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 without even raising their heads. After Han Zhe finished this meal, he wanted to have the next one.
"Auntie Chen, can I still eat this next time I come back?"
"Yes, next time you come, Auntie Chen will make you dumplings. Not only will she make you dumplings, but she'll also make you some meatballs."
Han Zhe was happy. He nodded his head vigorously and stuffed dumplings into his mouth without delay.
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 his grandfather. He didn't want to go back and just wanted to stay here.
Seeing that the child was really willing to eat, Mrs. Chen finished her meal and went into the kitchen, 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 Mr. Du's instructions, Xingwang Village is following the same plan as Dongsheng Village. However, it's not a good idea to make such a big announcement. I'm still a little unsure. You said they're working very hard over there. I heard the first phase of the relocation project has been completed. It was done with great efficiency. The three relocated villages have all moved out, and the construction teams have moved in. This matter seems to be set in stone. Can it be changed?"
Chen Yuan was genuinely worried. Even though CEO Du kept telling him to wait patiently, how long would he have to wait? The project had already begun, and he couldn't imagine any reason to stop.
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. Just take care of my garbage pit. I'm going to the countryside soon. I'll clean it up when I come back. Once I clean up this garbage pit, your project will have a clearer future."
Chen Yuan rubbed his hands nervously. He had indeed been a little worried recently. He had already realized 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.
For Ms. Du, whether it is the antique city, the construction company, or even the financial company and the security side, they are all Ms. Du’s own business and there is no difference to her.
But as the head of the construction company, his heart naturally sided with it. He had always worried that Mr. Du had given up the project in Dongsheng Village because of that antique, and he felt quite uneasy.
Du Ruo saw through Chen Yuan's thoughts and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, don't you think about it? What is the relationship between me and Han Ming? Can I give him such a big benefit? Even if I am interested in the garbage pit here, I can definitely do both. It is not impossible to take both pieces of land. We are not without money. There is really a reason that cannot be told. You will know it in a while."
Since Du Ruo said this, Chen Yuan naturally felt relieved. He said embarrassedly, "Please don't bother with a rude person like me. I just didn't think straight for a moment. I really want to do this 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.
After coming out of Chen's house, the two children were leaning on the car seat 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 trained his drinking capacity in the army and liked to drink white wine, which was strong and easy to get drunk. Yuan Tingchuan's face was a little hot. If it weren't for the children here, he would especially want to lean on Du Ruo to get some coolness.
He rubbed Du Ruo's shoulder in grievance. Du Ruo knew what he meant and reached out to pat him twice to comfort him.
